Hello there literate roleplayers. Are you tired of bland Light vs. Dark plots, equine RPGs that all seem the same, and plots that don't affect your character?
Well we've got a surprise for you. At The Secret it's not just about good and evil. In fact, good and evil don't have a lot to do with things. No matter whose side you're on, you can be as nice or as cruel as you see fit. But if you live in the north you'd better be tough if you want to stay alive. Here's a summary of what kinds of characters you can make:
Southern equines: The Resistance. You like freedom and would rather be left to your own devices. Conquering is not really your thing, you just want to be left alone to start a herd. Weakland equines: The Captives. You keep your head down and hope you don't get beaten up too often. You dream of escaping to the south, but know you'll be killed for trying. Mostly mares live here, though there is a small number of stallions. They usually get beaten down the most so they can't rebel. Northern equines: Tartarus's Legions. You work for the mastermind, Tartarus, the one who blew the news about the object of power out into the open. You answer to his captain Atlas, and you spend your time fighting, bullying mares in the Weaklands, and training colts for the army. If you have any spare time you can gather a small herd. Haven of Hesperides: The Secret Keepers. You know not hate nor greed, and you live within the walls of the Haven. You may leave to explore, but other equines seem so different to you. You live in peace and philosophy, seeking knowledge and enlightenment. But you know what is brewing, and the battle will come to your doorstep even though they cannot break down the door.
We are also accepting staff applications for Global Moderators, Graphics Designers and Skin Designer.
What's going on... ?
There was peace once, though by now it is but a distant memory in the minds of those old enough to remember. There was order and cohesion, and nothing to fear. The Keepers of Hesperides stayed within their walled Haven, and none disrupted their peace. There was always a rumor that an object of unspeakable power lay hidden within those great walls, but in time the rumor grew dull with age. But now a young stallion, maddened with greed, is gathering all the information he can about this mysterious object of celestial power. Flanked by the powerful drafts of the northern lands, he is murdering and taking prisoners left and right. There is only a handful of southern herds that stand against him, led by the mysterious Theseus. If they are vanquished, the Keepers will be on their own. Chaos and uncertainty abound. How much longer can the forces of reason hold off this madman?
The board is set, the pieces are in play. Whose side will you join?

Name: Nefertiti Tutankhaten House: Ravenclaw Year:5th Ability: Telepathy and Telekinesis Why should you have this ability?:Nefertiti should have this ability because it has quite a long history of passing through her family. Although these are powerful abilities Nefertiti would never use them for evil, only good. Rp Sample: Nefertiti sat in the common room her head tilted to the side, watching the fire cackle. She was hearing things, although nobody's mouths were moving. 'Omigosh, he's sooo hawt!' came through her mind. Still, nobody was talking. 'Arrgghh, what's with all the homework?' popped up, nobody's lips were moving. She got up to get her book. It jumped up, gave a feeble wabble then fell. Then an almost impossible thought came to her; 'Am I getting telepathic and telekinesis powers like my mom?'

Name: Katie Snow House: Hufflepuff Year: 6th Ability: Animagus - All black Eagle-Owl Why should you have this ability?: "Well, I was born with the ability to change shapes, so I've trained myself to be able to have full and complete control over myself when in owl form. I use it mostly as a way to de-stress myself. With everything that goes on in my family, and the way we get treated by most people, the stress level tends to skyrocket, but flying in the middle of the night really takes it all away. I head out for the night with a lot on my mind, but come back relaxed. It's a miracle that I was given this gift, and I pity the rest of my family. I've been wanting to join the Order for a while now, and I hope I will be able to when I come of age. I'd love to put an end to the Dark age, along with my Father's side of the bloodline. Owl's have amazing senses, like sight and smell. And they could come in handy on a mission. The form I take is an all black Eagle-owl, with extremely dark brown eyes. That helps me blend in in the dark, so people can't see me, but also owl's are silent, and could go places undetected."
Rp Sample:

Panting, Katie finally reached the Owlery doors and smiled. She could hear the familiar sounds of wings beating, and claws against wood. It soothed her fast-beating heart immensely and she heaved the doors open. She realized that she was now out of shape. The run up here really showed her just how much so. Considering she hasn't ran or flew in quite some time, she should have expected it. But alas, it came as a shock to her, and she made a mental note to start running in the mornings from now on.
The smile on her face grew as she walked into the room. Owls of all different colors and sizes fluttered around above her. She let out a chuckle as she realized she could trick people into picking her to deliver a letter. 'That would be interesting.' she thought to herself as she began to pet the Tawny owl nearby. 'If ever I have to get away from Filtch, this would be the perfect hiding spot.' she told herself with a smirk.
A few owls flew down to greet her and she accepted their company with great joy. She always felt at home with them. She opened her arms to give them a place to perch, and two landed softly on her arms, with the third on her head. 'This would look so weird.' was the thought that popped into her head, and immagined someone like Harry randomly popping in to deliver a letter and see her. This picture made her laugh a little, and she gently lowered her arms to a desk and let the two owls hop off.
As the owl on her head flew off to rejoin his friends, she took off her robe. It wasn't that she was hot, for she was a little chilly, but she was hoping for a little flying time to herself. She bent over, taking off her shoes and socks and smiled. She was overjoyed by the fact she was actually going to get to fly. It was hard to find time to be alone, what with classes and homework and everything, so she was overdue. It was always easier to strip down before she changed, because she had a problem with getting tangled in her clothes right after. She hadn't completely gotten the knack of transforming to animal form and back while keeping her clothes on like Professor McGonagal had, but she was learning. Though for now, she was just going to avoid the hassle altogether. She was wearing her undershirt and a pair of shorts when she walked over to the window. Taking in a deep breath, she was about to strip the rest of the way when the door blew open, making her jump out of her skin.
It's a RP sample from another site. Hope that's ok.

Wand: 11 1/2" Mahogany wood, with Pheonix feather. Pet(s): A grey owl named Minn
what house do you think you should be in?: Hufflepuff
anything else: Gryffindor
RP Sample (REQUIRED!): Katie walked out of the shower, and towel dried herself off before putting on a warm, fuzzy robe. She brushed her hair,and threw it up into a messy bun, and headed downstairs. Sure, other people might be in the house, but they have to get used to her relaxation style. If they didn't want to see her walking around in a robe, then they just shouldn't be around her.
She walked throughout the house, heading toward the living room, and noticed that everything was quiet. She could hear only her bare feet hitting the hard, marble floor of the hallway and echoing throughout the house. This made her smile. Nobody was going to interrupt her, and she liked it.
She reached the living room, and was about to enter, when she decided to get something to eat. So she changed her direction, and walked into the kitchen. Her feet brought her to the refrigerator, and she pulled out milk. Then she took out a bowl and sthingy from the cabinet and drawer next to it, and reached down to pick up a box of Life from the cereal tray. It took her less than a minute to fix her bowl and go to the living room again.
She plopped down onto her couch, careful not to spill her cereal, and reached for the remote. She clicked the power button on, and flipped through the channels, stopping at the Science Channel. It was a show called Planet Earth, and one of Katie's favorites. This episode was the one about how stars are made, and Katie became engrossed in it in an instant.
