Rp Discord Servers

WELCOME TO CHARLES'S SCHOOL FOR GIFTED STUDENTS! You're a mutant in earth-39641(not a real universe, made up for this server!) and have been struggling with your mutant powers for most of your life, or you are just now discovering them. Either way, Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is your home and you spend your time among the X-Men. In this world, dark forces are brewing behind the scenes. Legislation regarding mutants is being passed, more often than not restricting their freedoms, and everyone has the mutant problem on their mind. Many factions start to form as alliances split and shift, mutants and humans alike finding a camp to call their own. It's up to you to decide where you fall... --------------------------------------------------------------- More Info This server takes place in a universe/multiverse separate from any specific cannon. Its cannon is its own, though we will be pulling primarily from the films. Personally, I am very interested in exploring a world that functions much like the setting we see in "Logan" with a more grounded feel, though we will likely be pulling character backgrounds and histories from comics, other movies, etc to fill in blanks. As for the timeline, this rp will be taking place during the beginning of the fall semester of 2015. Keep that in mind when filling out your character sheet, as well as when rping, since the culture and technology will be from about ten years ago. We have plenty of things to offer! - friendly staff with open moderator positions - Characters like mystique, storm, rogue, quicksilver, and other popular favorites are still open - a grounded, literate base of rpers with a focus on exploring darker parts of the universe - fun and light hearted loosely cannon moments to break up darker story lines with in-character social media channels

PLOT: Gem city is the only known city in the world to openly accept ‘creatures of the night’. Kings Wealth hospital openly treats and accommodates any species, from giving much needed blood, supplies, and expert medical care. Kings Wealth Co. is well known for their support and strength when it comes to protecting both supernatural beings, and humans alike. Due to the rather ‘safe’ nature of Gem city many have flocked to the massive city, causing it to expand, and be larger than some countries in the world. The eclipse of the new year signals the coming of the next competition. Those both looking forward to the competition and opposed will be pulled into the year long turmoil of the “Lunas King’s Festival.” Monsters and men alike must decide; will they take a side, oppose the ritual, take advantage of the chaos, or simply try to survive.

Have you been trying to live out your high fantasy, well, fantasy? Maybe you've been looking for a roleplay server that allows you to make kings, nobles, and even **Gods**? Chronicles of Aetheria is the right place for you! We are an 18+ server with a DnD-Inspired class & combat system built into a setting called Aetheria, a massive continent with isles dotted around it. In the old days, the gods played a direct hand in shaping events and history. But their reach was too far. For a millennium, the Gods receded as ordered by the Goddess of Death, Nysera. But when they returned, in violation of her order, Nysera knew what had to be done. She performed an ancient rite, with the magic consuming her deific form in the process. In doing so she made one final decree: No soul is everlasting, no crown is eternal, and no Gods stand beyond death. One by one, the thrones vacated. And eventually, humanity learned how to claim them. Will you be amongst the few to do so?

Mutants are no longer hidden—they’ve been exposed, and fear is spreading faster than anyone can control. Governments push registration acts in the name of safety, while S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps constant watch over every enhanced individual. The Avengers still stand as symbols of protection, but even heroes are divided on what comes next. Some enforce the system. Others resist it. Meanwhile, the mutant community fractures—Xavier’s dream of coexistence struggles to survive as the Brotherhood rises in defiance. In this expanded **X-Men: Evolution** universe, the wider Marvel world collides, bringing heroes, villains, and cosmic forces into a single, unstable stage. This is no longer a world of clear heroes and villains. **What We Offer:** - Canon only RP - Set after X-Men: Evolution Universe, expanding to the rest of Marvel - Mutants newly revealed to the world, with rising political tension - Avengers Academy and Asgardian–Midgard cultural programs in play - Inclusive, respectful, LGBTQ+ friendly community - Strong focus on civilian life, character growth, and long-term storytelling

The Verdant Accord is a literate fantasy RP server set in a dark Mesoamerican-inspired empire. Shrine-law governs power. Sacred trees keep older bargains beneath the canopy. The Mist has begun to move again. This is not another medieval kingdom wearing borrowed feathers. • The Verdant Accord A southern empire of blackwater roads, ritual courts, noble houses, frontier settlements, ancestral law, dangerous magic, living trees, old debts. The world remembers what people try to bury. • Active storyline The Mist plot is live. Customs are under strain. Younger powers press against inherited order. Ancient things have not gone quiet. New arrivals can enter the Mist arc, step into house politics, travel frontier country, join local trouble, or shape a personal storyline inside the Accord. • Bring your fantasy OC Most fantasy concepts are welcome. Characters from inactive servers can be adapted. No prior knowledge of Nahuatl or Mesoamerican culture is required. Read what catches your interest. Ask questions. We help newcomers find a clean entry point. • Literate RP Choices matter here. A character should leave a scene altered by what happened in it. • Character sheets matter Bring a sheet, draft, or solid concept. It does not need polish. It needs substance. Give us enough to understand the character’s place, pressure, motive. • 18+ story-focused space This is an 18+ server for mature themes. The focus is story first. ERP is not the point. • Quality over word counts Skill is not measured by length alone. A short post can land cleanly. A longer post earns its space when the scene needs room. • Community atmosphere Lore-conscious. Collaborative. New writers are not handed a textbook at the door. The Mist is moving again. Come write what survives. https://www.discordroleplay.com/

New York, USA 2030 The beginning of a new decade and yet it feels like the middle of the End. The economy has been at an all time low for a considerable while now and politics have not been getting better. So when a company by the name of Korol Inc opened, that had fair wages, good hours, and unbelievable benefits, everyone deliberately overlooked the questionable contracts and the strict NDAs they had to sign. Everyone who applied was already aware that they were most likely selling their soul for good wages and included health insurance. So when the first Odd happenings began to manifest themselves around the office rooms, no one felt the need to question it. Missplaced documents, writing on the mirrors of the bathrooms, office plants that wilt no matter how much they are cared for- those things are not all too strange Afterall. But even the vanishing hallways, the flickering lights, the slamming doors when noone should be in the room and the occasional shadow figure in the corner of ones eyes got quietly accepted. By now the shadowy and monstruous figures - the aberrations that HR lovingly labels as "Unexpected collaborators" - have been quietly accepted and integrated into the work day as just another set of coworkers from another department, or rather another realm. It is an open secret that the office serves as a crossroad between the human and the "spirit" realm....but everyone who had attempted to bring the secret outside the office walls has just as quietly vanished. ----------------------------------------------------------- 18+ Server, Drawn Pictures, Every response lenght welcome, LGBTQ+ Friendly Space, Strong Anti-AI-Stance, Human-Artist Welcome!!!, -------------------------------------------------------------

✦ 𝔒𝔨𝔩𝔞: 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔏𝔞𝔫𝔡 ℑ𝔫 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔦𝔰𝔱 ✦ *"The gods are dead. The Void remains."* Long before kingdoms rose and empires fell, ten gods ruled over the world, each possessing a fragment of the mysterious Void. Their reign lasted for countless ages until the Goddess of Death bestowed a weapon upon a mortal champion. With that weapon, he accomplished the impossible. He slew the gods. Yet the death of the divine came at a terrible cost. As the gods fell, the Void itself spilled into the mortal realm, forever changing the world. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ### ✦ The Age of the Void ✦ Wild magic flooded the land. Ancient creatures emerged from beyond reality itself. Monsters, spirits, and horrors never meant to exist walked freely among mortals. While many feared this new age, others sought to harness its power. Magic became a weapon. Power became law. And from the chaos arose a ruler known only as **The Yellow King.** ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ### ✦ The First Great War ✦ Driven by ambition and empowered by the Void, the Yellow King forged a mighty army and marched across the land. Villages burned. Kingdoms fell. The rivers ran red with blood. One by one, his enemies were crushed beneath his banner until the entire island lay under his control. To secure his reign, the Yellow King divided his vast kingdom into **Seven Regions**, placing each under the rule of his most loyal knights. Now, years later, the kingdom stands on the edge of uncertainty. Ancient powers stir within the mists. The Void continues to whisper. And countless adventurers, warriors, mages, nobles, and rogues seek to carve their names into history. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ### ✦ What We Offer ✦ ⚔️ Original Dark Fantasy World 🛡️ Seven Unique Regions to Explore 🔮 Magic Shaped by the Void 👑 Political Intrigue & Kingdom Conflict 🐉 Monsters, Mysteries, and Ancient Secrets 📖 Story-Driven Roleplay 🎭 Character Progression & Development 🌍 Friendly Community & Active Staff ✦ Will You Rise...

` Silver Valley High’s Senior and Junior class of 2005 took an upperclassman trip to Hawaii for summer break after a hard-earned graduation. ` ` Out of the 40+ students taking the trip, only a small number returned with a rescue team 1 and 1/2 years later. The plane departed, flew on track, and was never seen again. The world has no idea what happened for that year and a half of radio silence. ` ` One thing was for certain. The plane was scraps, no bones were found, and most, if not all of the students left were in states of extreme psychosis before leaving the uncharted island they landed on. ` Welcome, Silver Valley’s Hummingbirds, to HIGH TIDE.

𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐮𝐥, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: Seventy years after its inception, I.N.S.I.G.H.T (Investigative Network for Strategic Information Gathering & ParaHuman Tabulation) remains the world's only avatar-run private eye firm. I.N.S.I.G.H.T focuses on investigating and solving paranormal problems for both avatar and mortal clients. They pride themselves on unity, with the firm being split up into fourteen departments for each entity and the department heads serving as a board of Fears to lead the company. But cracks have been showing for decades...the departments actively despise each other, the office atmosphere broiling with tension. Leadership is not the united front it presents as, with many of the board members being deceptive and self-serving. Avatars outside of I.N.S.I.G.H.T view them as an embarrassing but necessary tool at best and actively hostile to their nature at worst. And as a new Fear emerges in the 20th century, one that could destroy everything that I.N.S.I.G.H.T stands for, will they fracture further or finally attempt the unity they claim to value? 𖣠 16+, original character only semi-lit TMA roleplay 𖣠 unique storytelling system offering users the ability to run their own arcs and events 𖣠 lgtbq+ and bipoc friendly 𖣠 focus on building a healthy, close-knit community with direct communication 𖣠 server opened february 1, 2026

# Jujutsu Civil War of Wa Year 180 AD — The Great Clan Divide Japan is torn apart by a brutal civil war between two powerful sorcerer alliances. The Western Alliance (Gojo, Inumaki, Fujiwara) fights to preserve the old order, protect the Emperor, and maintain control through law and noble lineage. The Eastern Alliance (Zenin, Kamo, Abe) seeks to shatter tradition and build a new meritocracy where only the strongest rule — "might makes right." As clans bleed each other dry across the war-torn land, the constant fear and death fuel an ever-growing tide of cursed spirits. The Chubu region has become a scorched deadzone of endless guerrilla warfare, while tension rises in every corner of Japan. In this chaotic era of war, betrayal, and surging cursed energy, where will your loyalty lie — Tradition or Strength? Choose your clan. Forge your path. Survive the Great Clan Divide. https://discord.gg/mQhwEr5W4V
