“One person's crazyness is another person's reality.” - Tim Burton
Love him or hate him Tim Burton's picture should defiantly be in the dictionary next to genius. This critically acclaimed writer, directer, producer, animator, and actor has all types of fans world wide. His amazing works including but not limited to The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd are loved by millions all over the world. His fans range from children to adults of all types and from all backgrounds. His fans have not really been labeled yet have been accused of certain types of labels that were incorrect. Some bands or music genres have a name for their fans because they have such a large fan base. What most people don't know is that Tim Burton has one of the largest fan bases for a director in history! We've decided to put an end to this madness. Tim Burton fans are different. They aren't a specific label already put place in society because they come from everywhere. They think outside the box. They cheer on the anti-hero because Tim Burton has the ability to make them lovable. They love the Victorian Gothic look to his films and they bask in his ability to transfer emotions through color. They love his original characters, his remade characters, and appreciate the works he has made for us to know and love as classics. Tim Burton's fans see the world through different eyes. They are Burtonesque.
Tim Burton fans have a large enough standing on their own, but thanks to his works he has brought many actors and actresses to fame through his movies. One in particular is the ever talented, handsome, and versatile Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp is known for his six major roles with Tim Burton in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd. Not to mention his other major roles in non-Burton movies such as Cry-Baby, Secret Window, The Ninth Gate, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Benny & Joon, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Donnie Brasco, and his increasingly popular role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Disney Trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean. And fans anxiously await new motion pictures from both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
Both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have created worlds and characters that adults and children of all ages have come to know and love! And they keep on bringing the thrills, chills, and classic moments for all to remember.
So what would happen if we brought all of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's character's together, crossing movie lines, and bringing them all to one place?

The very Burtonesque Towers, Graveyards, Afterlife, and Halloween Town, along with the normal areas of Suburbia, the Sea, Le Olde Towne, and more! All the characters... running lose... together... only here at Be Burtonesque!

CHRONICLES OF GREENFORD
The East India Trading Company comes to Port Royal, a white horse rides with energy for the sand, observing each of the soldiers of Royal Navy, an army who was granted him by the King of England to help to fulfill a mission, to finish with the piracy of the ocean. This man does not need presentation, only we can call him, " Pirates' killer or the Gray wolf".With him it takes three orders of execution: One for Elisabeth Swann, other one for William Turner and the last one for his worst enemy, the pirate who him marked in the past,the Captain Jack Sparrow, that now, he is a little busy in recovering certain key to open a mysterious chest ... that will not rest up to having it in his power, but in his way he will cross with many rivals, as the Commodore Norrington, now turned into pirate after being expelled from the royal navy and many dangers, like the Dutchman´s Captain who has returned to ask jack that pay his debt.....
The intentions of the England kingdom don't limit only to stop the threat pirate but to exterminate it completely. Meanwhile new information about of the so many seculars broods some pirates, Greenford, is more and more next to the territories conquered for the crown by the East India Trading Company and that new objective and new earth it becomes to unify together with the others that belong to the others of the England kingdom. The coordinates to reach it are not clear, the pirates doesn't allow to easily deceive and during the centuries they have studied plans and hideaways for the them same land, making Greenford an almost impregnable pirate fortress. The crown cannot afford to leave that earth among the others that faithfully obey and they are of ownership of the England, that moor of pirates it is a thorn in the side of the crown and must be conquered and if not freed by the pirates, that burn then under the fire of the guns and pierced through by the insensitive pieces of metal of the weapons. Greenford constitutes a sure and secular burrow for the pirates, an excellent port of restocking on the surrounding waters and an earth that the pirates cannot absolutely abdicate. Will be war.
Devils & Black Sheep~A Pirates of the Caribbean RP « Result #3 on Sept 26, 2008, 12:06pm »
It can be said that the downward spiral began when Jack sought the heart of Davy Jones; that unnatural treasure sent everyone on a mad sprint to the Isla Cruces, and all that followed was death and heartache. But what if witty Jack had discovered another way to avoid being called to join Jones’ crew? Devils and Black Sheep explores an untold version of the story, in which Jack Sparrow did indeed find those one-hundred souls for Davy Jones, and continued on his merry way.
Devils and Black Sheep is an alternate universe Pirates of the Caribbean role-play that occurs after the Curse of the Black Pearl and incorporates the spirit of Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End without following their actual storylines.
Jack Sparrow and his beloved Pearl are currently docked in Tortuga. The scallywag of world renown is anxious to return to his mistress the sea after encountering certain...female troubles...and seeks to follow the noble pirate tradition of pursuing questionable profit and almost certain death.
To add to Jack Sparrow’s troubles, a newly resurrected Barbossa has recently returned to Tortuga, intent on acquiring a ship. Setting aside his desire for the Black Pearl for now (or has he?), his interest instead is in the Naval ship the HMS Integrity currently on its way from England to Port Royal. But before Barbossa can “acquire” his prize he must first find some other mode of nautical transportation as well as a crew. He has found an abandoned brigantine, the Maelstrom and the restoration work has begun in preparation for a journey that will, hopefully, intercept the Integrity prior to its docking in Port Royal.
The action continues with the landlubbers of Tortuga. A small town full of rustle and bustle, but without the protection of the military by their side, the citizens have learned to always keep a careful eye on the dark alleys once the sun sets. Tortuga is a fine place, a place where pirates call their home only second to the sea, a place where everything comes with a price.
Devils and Black Sheep is an AU Pirates of the Caribbean RPG featuring canons and original characters alike; we’re huge fans of both! The board features three pirate ships and the flagship of the Royal Navy. Adventure is not limited to the high seas as the inhabitants of Tortuga can attest.
It's one year after the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The only thing is Cedric never died! He continued to live because when Cedric told him to take the cup Harry did leaving Cedric behind. So now he's part of the changes that are coming. Harry's been living with his Aunt Uncle and cousin and doesn't know anything that has been going on in the Wizarding world. So imagine his shock when he finds out at Number 12 Grimmauld Place that everyone thinks Harry, Cedric, and Dumbledore are fakes and are crazy!
Harry is upset that no one believes him and is made at his friends for not telling him despite their orders not to. He's just confused and is trying to figure things out.
Fudge has been spreading lies because of his fear that Voldemort is really back. He decides that to ensure everyone thinks he has nto returned he instructs his trusted assisstant Dolorous Umbridge as the DADA teacher. She is old school with her punishments and makes sure everyoen does what she says.
Some believe Harry but some loyal friends are wary about who to believe. People want to believe Harry but fear takes over their minds as well and they chose to ignore the facts. So who will help fight?
Come join Hogwarts Life! Help sway the on coming war and decide whether you want to believe in the terrifying truth or believe the safe lies.
We have friendly Admins, plenty of canons open. Brand new!
H'okay, so here's the world. It's a world filled with PIRATES! Well, not really; pirates only make up a small percentage of the population. Otherwise, who would there be to pirate from? Other pirates? Counter-productive society, that.
Anyway, think of the world that we see in Pirates of the Caribbean, or Treasure Island, or even the Dreamworks version of Sinbad. It's a cutthroat, dirty world, but there's an element of adventure and romance to this life on the high seas. The world of this RPG is a reflection, an embodiment if you will, of the spirit of all those pirate movies we've seen and loved. The locations are fictional, and the world may not be in any specific time period in real history, but it's a fairly universal pirate setting. We have ports of call, ships, a royal navy, smugglers, and of course PIRATES. What more could you want?
Well, we also have a touch of the supernatural. "Here thar be monsters," and all that. Kraken and sea serpents are just as real as whales, Davy Jones may be more than just a legend, and you'd best keep an eye out (and your ears plugged!) for sirens. Curses are not to be taken lightly, and an oath broken can bring about terrible consequences.
So, hoist the midden and weigh anchor, because you're about to go on your own adventure. It's just over that next horizon...
Spica Academy « Result #6 on Oct 25, 2007, 3:56am »
By the year of 2100, as the the mutants population had dominated the world and only a few population of human beings were left out. Mutants were actually human beings but the difference was that they owned special abilities normal humans didn't have. They had abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy, controlling elements, superhuman strength, and others.
Basically, mutants had discovered their abilities since they were about 3 years old. But it hadn't been developed yet. They hadn't even discovered how to use techniques of their abilities. That's why, one of the first mutants even born in the late 21st century, established an academy dedicated to gifted youngsters. Named Spica Academy, the school's goal was to give birth to tough and brave mutants in the future.
Become a mutant and establish your superpowers here. Apply to be a student, teacher, or a staff.
Here, in present day England things are getting out of hand. Not so much in the real world as at school as at West Ocean Academy. The school has people mad with power, and not just those rich snobs that run around with money filled pockets, I mean power. Power like 'look at me I can read your mind' kind of power. Scary, but not many people have it, or show that they do. We are all under some sort of lock down. A mad professor went on a killing spree last month, and then we had stuck up snobs moving in. They think they are so great with all their money. What ever.
Anyway, the prince Caden, is here trying to find his princess. There are also the Smith and Volk kids here. They got Dorms named after them because their parents sponsor the school. They also think they run the place. But none of this is the problem.
Each day, we all discover another 3 people with some sort of weird power. Is this good? No. We are finding things out that should be kept secret, wars between students are tearing everyone apart. There's more, but it's too hard and complicated to explain. Anyway, if I did, there would be nothing left for you to find.

Horses of [ D A T H ] o l o n Wild horse RPG Battle of the Elements.
Many many years ago a group of equines discovered a land. Over the thousands of centuries the land has grown and died. It has been parted into seperate places, Territories as the stallions would call them. But they are all still a part of what was once a magical place. Now the spirits are coming alive again. Awakening from their endless slumber. The spell laid upon them from the day when the first equine settlers arrived has been broken. Those both good and bad are discovering powers they never knew existed before the turning of the earth. The elements are choosing their masters. Perhaps now those who reside here will want to learn the history of the land. Rather than just tales, twisted and changed throughout time. This is the closest to the truth you will get.
Dragonlance: Saviors of Krynn « Result #10 on Oct 7, 2007, 5:09am »
Site I'm advertising for....
Eight companions in a world of adventure, the land of Krynn. Hundreds of years have passed since the fiery cataclysm, in which the gods, in their anger against the very beings they created, threw down a fiery mountain upon the land. Hundreds of years have passed by for the people of Krynn, without their gods to aid them. Most say the gods turned away from them, forgot them, banished them, but some truly believe that it was the people of Krynn who brought this fate upon themselves. Those few people have found the gods once more. The gods never left them; the people simply turned away from them, forgetting them in their everyday lives. It is one of those very people, that still believe in the gods, that the blue crystal staff is bestowed upon.
Goldmoon, of the Que-Shu tribe, weilds this very staff, given to her by the gods themselves. The people of her tribe do not believe in the great power of the staff, and turn away from Goldmoon. Together, with the help of Riverwind, another tribal outcast, she travels to Solace, where the adventure begins.
It is in this very town of Solace that she and Riverwind come to an Inn, the Inn of the Last Home. During a very disastrous inncident, the staff's true power is the discovered. The staff is a staff of true healing! It can heal even the most devastating wounds. This is the staff that evil has been searching for! Surely the evil dragon highlords can win the war with this staff!
It is then that Goldmoon and Riverwind, with the help of a few newfound friends, escape the Inn and flee into the wilderness, with evil in persuit. With the help of several friends: Tanis Half-Elven, leader of the companions, Flint Fireforge, the grumbling dwarf, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, the annoying kender, Sturm Brightblade, a knight of Solamnia, Caramon Majere, a true warrior and giant, and Raistlin Majere, a secretive, harsh magic-user, they will change the fate of Krynn forever.
It is their quest to restore the old ways, to teach others of the true cause of the cataclysm, and to stop the evil dragonhighlords who threaten to destroy Krynn.
It is said that the Queen of Darkness, from the abyss, is rallying her troops for war. It is said that the dragons of myth and petty children's stories have returned. Dragon Highlords, or dragon riders as they are formally known, are invading the land and destroying anything in their path.
Can the companions overcome the evil dragons and restore peace to Krynn?
