A Resident Evil Roleplay Server Ever since Raccoon City, the world has never truly recovered. B.O.W.s are no longer rumors whispered behind locked doors. They are weapons, experiments, mistakes, and nightmares made real. Some call biological warfare a necessary evil. Others call it a war crime. Either way, the threat continues to grow. Years after the destruction of Raccoon City, familiar survivors are drawn back together by a distress call from deep within South America. Jill Valentine receives the transmission first, but what begins as a rescue mission soon threatens to uncover something far more dangerous. Chris Redfield now leads the Hound Wolf Squad under his own command. Leon Kennedy continues his work within the DSO, still carrying the weight of Raccoon City. Claire Redfield fights through TerraSave, Sherry Birkin stands beside the DSO, and Carlos Oliveira is pulled back into a past he thought he had left behind. This mission may not be world-ending, but for those who survived September 30th, 1998, it is personal.

UNION CITY: Open World Modern Slice of Life RP 🌇 Are you tired of super powered interdimensional magic cities filled with 2,509 year old half succubus half nekos? Would you like to play in a world that is a reflection of our own, with a diverse range of characters such as university students, small business employees, stoner roommates, farmers, and street thugs? Then Union City's what you've been looking for! Don't get me wrong, I love high fantasy and monsters, but as a fan of slice of life, I find discord lacking for worlds designed for characters who are only human. Your characters will have a huge variety of channels to interact in. Do you like renaissance fairs and pizza? Then take a trip to King Arthur's, where all the servers are dressed as lords and ladies of ye olde times. Inside you'll find an expansive city with even more original, kooky places and organizations for your characters to interact, including an extremely fleshed out University! As an 18+ server we allow for ERP, but this isn't a server designed solely for ERP. This is a literate RP server that encourages players to explore their characters outside of sexual and romantic relationships, such as friendships, co-workers, and bitter rivals. This is a no kink-shaming environment where almost all kinks are welcome, but ageplay is strictly forbidden. We're maintaining a server that dedicated roleplayers can call home. If you'd like to be a part of our lovely community, then read the rules and get started ASAP! We can't wait to have you in Union City, home to Union City University! Go Titans!

-- Welcome to Voremunity! -- ‼️ ID Checks Strictly Required ‼️ It's a fun play on words with Community and Vore, because that's what we are! A community focusing entirely on Vore but with a heavy emphasis on the Community as a whole, bringing people together with something everyone can enjoy! Though we're strictly 18+ so if you've managed to join via Disboard or a link as a minor you will be removed. Here's some of the stuff you can look forward to when you join this server: - A friendly community. - Proper Roleplaying channels. - Art channels for sharing things you find and things you've created. - And many more! As a reminder, to ensure the safety of the members and the server there will be an intricate method of verification. If a user is found as underaged they'll be required to show proof of their age or removed. Finally. Voremunity is brand new and welcoming new members who wish to give the server a chance! Any and all support is welcomed and bringing along friends to meet new people is allowed! (As long as they're above 18.)

Have you ever wanted a superhero roleplay but every server you find has something you don't like about it? Maybe it was geared towards a specific franchise like Marvel, DC, or My Hero Academia and you wanted something more original. Or maybe it was a bit too "anime" for your tastes with magical girls, video game stat screens, and/or summoning supernatural spirits à la Persona or Fate. Or perhaps you enjoy those servers but just want something new. Whatever the reason, I'm sure there's something Starcoast City can offer you! Starcoast City is a slice of life roleplaying server with the fun twist of superpowers mixed in. You can choose to play a famous, just hero who works an IT job by day but fights crime by night. Or perhaps you feel a bit more nefarious and want to play an evil villain who brings chaos to the city. If it tickles your fancy you can even play a civilian without powers like a police officer, researcher, or more! The possibilities are endless in Starcoast City! This is an 18+ server due to the fact that we allow ERP and the discussion of sexual themes, but this is not an ERP server. Non-sexual, literate roleplay is the main focus here, but things are allowed to get spicy now and then. Sex is nice and all but building friendships, roleplaying character development, fighting crime, and getting a rival can be very rewarding too. A lot is possible in this city of heroes, villains, and science, so get creative with it! Be sure to read all the rules thoroughly so you can get started. Welcome to Starcoast City!
