Anita Blake and the Anitaverse is product of Laurell K Hamilton, I take no credit for the ideas that are used here, nor do I wish to, this site is purely for the entertainment of those who enjoy her work and enjoy to Role Play. I'm simply borrowing her world for a little while but not taking any of her characters. Obsidian Butterfly do not use canon characters from her books. We respect Laurell too much to destroy the character's she's worked hard to create.

Many, many years ago, the famed Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau cursed New Orleans for accusing her of terrible crimes against humanity. So with her powerful grisgris, she summoned from ancient mythology, various creatures that humans don't normally see, much less believe in. She had planned on using them to do her bidding; but passed away before she could begin. The overly religious people of New Orleans rejoiced at her passing. While her own people were saddened and heart broken. As the years passed, her people nurtured the mythical creatures, hiding them within the population until such a time would come to pass that they could live in the open. Slowly, and with reluctance, the mythical creatures learned how to live and survive in a world they had never seen before and eventually, they were no longer fearful and began to live among the populace. It took many years, but the city has finally embraced these creatures, knowing that they only add to the mystery that is New Orleans.
Here is a sample of some of the creatures we have :
Phoebe Halliwell had her sister lived full and happy lives with there children. Toward the end of Phoebe's life she gained a vision of the future. Just as her ancestor had done two hundred years before. The vision stated the following.

The decendents of the Charmed One's will gain in power with each generation just as it had for the Charmed. It will eventually lead to three decendents. One male and two female reletives who will be the most powerful power for good thus far. And they will be known as the the Charmed Ones just as thier ancestors.
At the same time decendents of the Cromwell line of Warlock will do the same. They will as well gain in power untill they lead to the most powerful power for evil thus far. They will be the opposite of the Halliwells and will produce three reletives for evil. One female and two male reletives. And they would be known as the Cursed Ones

A seer had seen the same thing and told the Cromwells that they were chosen to be very powerful to beable to fight the Warren Line of Witches. Both family prepared for the battles to come.
Though through out time the prophacy has been a thing of the past. Also the fact that the Halliwells have forgotten about thier magic, past, and legecy. The Cromwells did as well, which is suprising for a Warlock family. Until now that is. The Charmed Ones and Cursed Ones have come to be just as it had been written over a hundred years before.
THEY SCREAM AND THEY CRY « Result #10 on Nov 24, 2009, 11:52am »
The streets are fermenting with gunpower, drug residue, and the odor of sex and grime, washed with heavy alcohol. Dirty deals are made on every street corner, and a week can't go by without somebody dying or on the brink of death from a few rounds launched through them.
This is Gotham.
She's a ghost of the golden, upstanding, prestigious city she once was. Bruce Wayne, slowly, gradually is stepping up to be the model citizen, the philanthropist, that his mother and father once were, but it's too little too late, and just one man can't haul an entire population out of a sinkhole single handedly, no matter how deep his pockets...Or can he?
The Batman's activities have severely been lessened by the warrant for his arrest on several accounts of murders; The murders that he thought shouldn't tarnish the image of hope that Harvey Dent represented. The citizens are under the impression that their beloved DA had passed...
In due time, they'll see what kind of effect justice has had over him, and Batman will regret ever putting the tarnish on his own image to save Dent's face.
Meanwhile, the lack of a Batman and an absence of Joker [until recently] has brought the old crime families out of their bunkers. It's almost like the way things used to be.
Gotham's fate lies in the hands of her inhabitants. Will they answer to their city's swan song, or will corruption become them?
They scream and they cry... Much as you're doing now.
