Different houses means I have more choices as to which of my Harry Potter OCs (or rather, the OCs from my James Sirius Potter fanfic) to use for this RP. (I feel like mixing a bit of Asian magic into this but I'll let the GM to have the say on this matter.)

I'm glad we're starting the RP from Year One - I feel awkward to do a timeskip without even developing our characters properly first.
