#hwevent08

TLDR;

the roaring twenties are in full effect in hiddenwashington, though no one is aware that they’ve been thrown into the past. even with leia still being president, there’s not much power there when it seems like two opposing crime families are in full effect.  the hargreeves and the death eaters mobs are at war with one another and blood is shed, families and friendships are being pulled apart, and all that’s on everybody’s minds seems to be a hunger for power. sides aren’t chosen, but the city forces the sides for the citizens in the cities. either you’re with a certain mob or against them.

OOC INFORMATION;

hello guys, gals and nonbinary pals of hiddenwashington !!! we are so excited to bring you hidden’s eighth event and cannot wait to see what you all make of it !! with the roaring twenties being a HUNDRED years ago, we thought we would bring a little piece of it to our city! we will be dividing all of us into three different groups, which you all are encouraged to interact with to your hearts contents! the mob has come to dc, and we cannot wait to see what your characters make of their presence here! feel free to go wild, plot it out with others, enjoy, and let’s see what life we can bring to this city! with that said, enjoy the 1920′s and have your characters bask in being thrown back in time as if nothing has happened! 

DATES;

january 1st - january 7th

the event will last 7 days in and out of character

THE GROUPS;

the residents of washington dc are split into three groups, which could be found here. the hargreeves, the carrows, and the unaffiliated party. if you want any of these to be changed, please message the main and we’ll get this fixed for you all asap! 

THE HARGREEVES

the hargreeves control a majority of the south end of the city, holding a large amount of speakeasy’s that remain out of the police’s sight. smuggling contraband has been considered a larger difficulty, especially in a city that’s so populated. 

THE CARROWS

the carrows control the north end of the city, each with their own philosophy of wrecking havoc. their family, the death eaters, are known to be louder and more ruthless when it comes to dominating the streets and also known for some blood shed. granted, this isn’t for everyone. 

THE UNAFFILIATED

these are the residents that aren’t affiliated with the mafia, don’t wish to be, or haven’t found a place in one yet. of course, this is open to change as the event goes on, as affiliations change over time, but these residents are more than welcome to join in the speakeasies ( if they know where to find them ) - but don’t mind the non-trusting looks. sometimes it’s hard to trust, especially when cops and detectives are under cover. 

THE MAGIC ; 

all characters are divided into three groups, all done by random.

please feel free to make a small intro for your character if you’d like. let us know what group they’re in, what their stance is, maybe a job or some fun facts about them living in this 20s world.

your characters will have no idea that there has been a time switch. this is the world they are used to. once the clock strikes midnight, they will think that for as long as they have lived in dc, it has been the 1920s.

they will keep their memory status, regardless of if they are aware or unaware, but they will think when they arrived in dc, it has always been in this time period. so your characters (if aware) remember their lives prior to the city, but when they arrived here, they think it has always been during the 1910-1920s!

you are able to take these gangs in any way your character wishes, they could be all for being in either gang, could change throughout the event, they could hate their gang, or be forced into it by family or friends. remember to get creative and explore all the sides of this. will they be happy in their situation? or try and be the rat that tells the police where all the speakeasies are?

you may have to modify your characters’ jobs, especially if they have worked as a bartender in the past. please be sure that you are aware that they may have a new job. and have fun with it.

some ideas for jobs, specifically within the mobs, could be : bruiser, hitman, runner, consigliere, janitor, distractions, underboss, soldiers, or spies.

other ideas, which could go for all three groups, are politicians, police, speakeasy workers, anything that you really could think of! and if you are unsure of something please don’t hesitate to shoot the main a message asking!

your characters will keep their powers, this magic does not affect who they are as people, just the time they think they were born in! so, if you’re a wizard, you will still be a wizard. and if your character is a human, they will stay their human selves!

TAGGING AND PLOTTING ;

please feel free to begin plotting with everyone and anyone!! we want this to be all inclusive, as you never know who is going to be out and about during the new year!!!

also, please know you are completely free to begin plotting your groups or outside your groups! friends and family might be separated for all we know!

once the event begins, please hold any and all non event threads. you may pick them up once it’s over, or start fresh with reuniting with people, returning to your character’s normal state of mind, adjusting to the lack of or the influx of memories, etc.

in terms of plotting, keep in mind that your character doesn’t think this is out of the ordinary. they think that this is perfectly normal. but also, this is a pretty big holiday! if you want your character to talk about their new years plans, go for it! just know that they will not know of this magic swell until after the event ends!

as always, if you are planning to have your character killed during the event, please message us admins as we have to keep track for the sake of their memory status! remember that your character dying will alter their memories, so plan accordingly!

be sure to tag all posts as “hwevent08″ and make sure that you tag all thing appropriately with any trigger warnings needed!

and of course, just use good judgement and be sure not to god mod, this is a very exciting event so just be sure to talk with your partners before doing anything too big!
