FOR THE GREATER GOOD
In Character
Albus Dumbledore lost his duel against the Dark Lord Grindelwald in 1945, who maintained his Mastery over the Elder Wand. As a result, Grindelwald's forces - both Magical and their Muggle puppets - won the war for Europe. Dumbledore did not die, and indeed was rescued from Nurmengard, but this bitter defeat forced the man into hiding.
In 1946, the Statute of Secrecy was destroyed rather permanently as the Dark Lord personally oversaw the destruction of Muggle governments, and the various Magical Ministries of Europe unite under his organization into the First Magical Empire. Grindelwald's Empire eventually stormed the British Isles, and with the assistance of the local blood purists united under the leadership of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, the Empire was victorious.
The International Confederation of Wizards sued the Empire for peace, even as they forged tentative alliances with their Muggle governments because of the Statute's breaking. Grindelwald instead forced the ICW into agreeing that any Magical Ministry who wished to join his Empire could do so freely - and many did, whether out of fear or out of genuine desire to be free from their Muggle governments and be open about their Magic.
By 1950, the First Magical Empire came to cover most of the eastern hemisphere - with the Dark Lord Grindelwald at its head. Under the Empire, there has come to be a certain hierarchy in society: Muggles at the lowest rung, and Purebloods at the top.
Meanwhile, Albus Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix have begun sponsoring various Magical and Muggle resistance groups within the Empire's territory - they are known about by both the ICW, United Free Nations (their Muggle counterpart for the Americas), and the First Magical Empire.
Gellert Grindelwald believes that this society will eventually achieve humanity's greatest feats, and so for the Greater Good, he waits for the day his Empire reigns over the Earth - supreme and whole.
But, for Albus Dumbledore, his greatest failure has cost most of the world its freedom - and so it is for the Greater Good that he and his Order continue to help those oppressed peoples' fight against Grindelwald's regime...
Hello, everyone, and welcome to For the Greater Good. This is a roleplay set within the Wizarding World - in an alternative universe where Albus Dumbledore lost the Duel against Grindelwald, and everything went horribly wrong from there.
In this world, Grindelwald reigns supreme - with other Dark Lords governing the various states under the Empire's grasp; Voldemort, for example, in Britain. The roleplay takes place during what would've been the Post-Marauder Era (1981-1990).
This roleplay will be taking place within one of three locations: Britain, under the rule of Lord Arcturus Black III - who, himself, is aligned with and under the Empire's (and thus Grindelwald's) protection; what was once New York City of the United States but is now the capital nation of the United Free Nations as well as the International Confederation of Wizards; or in Nurmengard Castle, the prison-palace from which Grindelwald reigns and wherein his personal prisoners are contained or tortured.
With that in mind, you can take one of three roles depending on where you place your character: a member of the Order of the Phoenix (or a sponsored resistance member) in Britain - or maybe one of the Knights of Walpurgis, who serve Lord Black and his right-hand found in Lord Voldemort; one of Albus Dumbledore's Order within NYC or a common, normal witch/wizard/Muggle in the city - maybe even an Ilvermorny graduate or current student; or one of Grindelwald's prisoners or maybe a witch/wizard in his inner circle (perhaps, even a spy placed there by Dumbledore!).
In the end, the choice is yours.
