Albuquerque, Orion
On the Town Albuquerque, Orion has many attractions. Whether attending the movies, walking through the park, or just prowling the night, men and woman and others enjoy their home. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
The Suburbs After extensive rebuilding, Albuquerque actually has a place for the residents to reside. Apartments, townhouses, and houses are available to purchase or rent. Contact City, County, and Zoning for more information. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
The Fortress The government chose this building to be their new headquarters, since many of the official buildings had been reduced to ash and cinder after the death of Domingo Martinez. Now, the Council gathers in the Fortress for their meetings. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

Orion's Quiver Orion's Arrows, also known as the Death Squad, spend the majority of their time in this building. The three-story stone prison converted nicely into a training center, headquarters, and interrogation chamber. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
Las Vegas, Orion The United States has one, but so does Orion. You want it? You can probably get it in the *NEW* city of neon lights, gambling hells, and extraordinary entertainment. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

The Asez Holdings The family of Council Member Keawyn Asez was influential in New Mexico long before the Enlightenment. Orion was not even a thought yet and the existence of paranormals was one of the best kept secrets of all time. Yet, Alysynn Asez created a neutral sanctuary for all those who were willing to work for food in their stomachs and a roof over their head... no matter their breed. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
The Barracks Each territory has a quiver of Orion's Arrows stationed within their boundaries. Though the main headquarters is in Albuquerque, the largest and most elite training center for the Arrows can be found at Council Member Keawyn Asez's Hold. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

Outside Albuquerque
Farmington, Orion Farmington can be located in the north northwestern part of Orion. As the Barracks in Farmington are nearest to the border, this city is the major outpost and rallying point in case of border invasion. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
Roswell, Orion In the southeastern portion of Orion, the infamous city now flourishes with the paranormal that the government once so denied existed. The penitentiary for minor criminals is located in the Gateless area of Roswell, Orion. (Major criminals are generally killed immediately. And, Roswell’s Arrows act on a shoot first and ask questions later policy for the prisoners.) Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

Plaisirs Foncés Plaisirs Foncés is a gourmet restaurant catering to paranormals and humans with a taste for French cuisine. However, this restaurants most famous "dark pleasure" is the dark chocolate desserts. (Who knows? Perhaps Councilwoman Penelope made your dish?) Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

The Barracks Each territory has a quiver of Orion's Arrows stationed within their boundaries. Though the main headquarters is in Albuquerque, Espanola houses the Northwestern Territory's Quiver. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
The World Outside Orion Despite the border between Orion and the rest of the world being closed, life does still continue in those outskirts. Orion's Phantoms keep close watch, both in positions of power and in the streets. Paranormals still search for missing family members, entering and leaving Orion as often as possible. Just, be watchful. Tensions are high. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar
The Planes The Terra Plane is not the only one that can be inhabited. However, most demons that are capable of physical and astral Gate-jumping prefer the Terra Plane. After all, the Terra Plane is the only one with chocolate and ice cream. Still, the innumerable other Planes contain places and creatures of interest. Explore at your own risk!

Enlightenment So many people were affected by the events of the Enlightenment, with stories needing to be told. This forum is for non-RP stories based within the Midnight Rising universe. Members may not utilize characters not their own; however, the characters utilized are not required to be officially approved characters. People who post may ask/request comments and critiques. This is the only In-Character Forum where such things are allowed.
Admins reserve the right to delete/require edits to any story they believe falls outside the realm of the Midnight Rising universe. Moderators: DuchessPariah, Songstar

Rules of Role-Playing Shapeshifter Characters as of March 01, 2009 • Alphas are rare. Before any member of Midnight Rising may create an Alpha lycanthrope or shapeshifter character, he or she must prove him or herself capable of role-playing a non-Alpha.
• Each member must maintain three or more non-Alpha shapeshifters or lycanthropes before earning an Alpha shapeshifter or lycanthrope*. The number of Alphas per player is limited to three. The limit on dominants is five. There is no limit on submissive shapeshifters or lycanthropes.
• Due to early abuse of the personality trait, the administration has banned sexually sadistic characters.
•*Stolenhart’s Alpha shapeshifter James Adair will still be allowed, because the character was approved before these rules went into effect.
The admins would like to thank Stolenhart for generating the code for the new layout!
In-Character Role-Playing will begin again on March 01, 2009! You can have your characters approved and waiting before that date!
