Welcome to Shadowside,

First off thank you for visiting our community and as you move though our rules, guidelines, and message board we hope you find the same interesting and friendly community as we have strived to develop.

We are a Play by Post Roleplaying community. Set in modern times at a completion school. With a few twists, we start with the existence of super powers in the population, magic, and abilities that make ordinary children extraordinary, add cutting edge technology, and racial tension between Humans and Evotellurics and we have a turbulent world of adventure to explore.

So please take some time explore our world and check out all that Shadowside has to offer for your roleplay and community needs.

Common Grounds

Regular Forum The Murial Grounds
Limbus destroyed the Azurian Archway, but the school rebuilt this area with Cherry blossom trees that bloom with brilliant small flames. Fields of grass with white marble paths will guide people deeper in to the campus. In the center of the garden is a black marble dedication to all whom died upon Limbus entering the world, a memorial to remind us all of the coming fight. The inscription upon it saying "The world was saved so that we might save each other." The underground tram was rebuilt so that it could drop students off here rather then under the tower.

Once there was two, now there is but one building. This building is actually a hollow circular shape because in the battle against Limbus, Wessix slammed these two buildings together to create a flux of magical energy. On the bright side, your dormitory is nearly indestructible and still a semi-overlapped pocket dimension (New Student Forum)

Tower of Vox

Regular Forum Floor 1: Kijuuki Plaza
In order to combat the invasion of Limbus, the majority of school structures were magically pulled in to the R&D tower to reform as the Tower of Vox. The plaza holds the map and charts to get any member of the Azura or Avalon project headed in the right direction, and it also holds the school's auditorium.

The Health labs were relocated to this section of the tower, accessible either by several elevators or by stairs. Rather then being just an area to patch wounds, this section also focuses on studying the biology of all living creatures. All equipment is top notch, and the beds are so comfortable the nursing staff sometimes has to throw students out.

Surrounding Grounds

Regular Forum Mount Ryujin
The head of Akitsjin Trail, the largest mountain still standing, heat radiating from its peak. This active volcano is responsible for the life of the island, and makes up the entire southern shore. It should be noted that almost the entire mountain is covered in a thick forest thanks to volcanic soil.

To the west of the school grounds curling along the western coast of the island, a range of mountains, slowly diminishing into mere hills as it travels north, this range cut by constant coastal winds makes this range is formidable barrier to the ocean beyond its hills.

Limbus Areas

Regular Forum The Bridge to Nowhere
The crown jewel Tetsuhana Bridge was forever broken between the reality warping power of Limbus and the incredible time and energy freezing powers of Dr. Grimm. The half that remains is a black and twisted shape that leads from the school into dark waters. Even stepping into this area will cause your heartbeat to increase from the raw element of fear, and who knows what awaits where the bridge meets the water. Limbus Area Manager: Shadow Dragon 24

Once a mere gateway in the swamps has now metamorphosed into a sinister dry land forest with brittle ground and ancient dead trees made of stone. Even the sky looks unearthly in this place, could it be possible that those who enter here are no longer on earth at all? Stay sharp though, because the forest and those that dwell within it are out to claim more lives. Limbus Area Manager: Shadow Dragon 24

The first step off the Tetsuhana Bridge, Hakata Port is flooded with history. The landing site of the Mongolians has been renovated into a museum spanning Asian history, and the port itself has become more active than ever with the school. Ferries for the weary walkers and cyclists can transport the students to and from the mainland.

The island itself is Earth’s anchor to other dimensions, the high concentration of Limbus energy and temporal flux serving as a strong catalyst for movement between other worlds and even alternate dimensions. The cause of this energy is still under investigation, but its effects are clear: we are not the only universe out there.
