I feel I should ask a couple simple questions before I get seriously started on my character, so, here goes.

The only major question I have is whether or not a Half-Breed, specifically the product of a Leprechaun and a Squib, would be acceptable as a player character. It's a concept I've always wanted to try and just never gotten a long enough run to do so. Granted I'd probably have to switch him from an Irish kid in Hufflepuff to...a kid from Boston in Tituba? Hmm.

As for minor things, while I know a person requires a license to handle a Kneazle, would it be possible to have one as a familiar since first year if said character passed off a Kneazle kitten as a regular cat and got the license in later years? If not, I understand and can just as easily have him acquire a Kneazle at a later date rather than as an admittance present from a mostly absentee father. 

Final question: I know I should probably wait for more information to be added into the OP but I can't help myself (if the answer to this question is edited in, boy, will I look silly.) are there any specifics regarding whether or not it's kosher to fill up positions such as Captains of various House Quidditch teams, Head Boy, etc? I apologize if the answers to any of these have been answered and I just haven't read stuff recently enough to know, in which case, feel free to call me an idiot. 

[s]I just want to be a lazy good for nothing Half-Leprechaun using his Kneazle to scam unsuspecting first years, dammit.[/s]

After talking with my co-gms, we decided not to accept any leprechaun heritage as Leprechauns are categorized as "beasts" in Harry Potter lore and not "beings." As for kneazles, I'm inclined to turn that down too because it's not really that plausible as they are rather dangerous to other wizards and a young kid probably couldn't tame one. However, in Salem Witches' Institute, there are a lot looser terms on what you can have as pets: eagles, hawks, cats, some dogs, most rodents, and some reptiles within reason (nonpoisonous snakes, toads, etc. etc.) are allowed ^-^. 

Yes, positions can be filled - and the list of already taken spots are under the character tab - and its to mine, and the other gms, discretion if the character is right for the position or not. Most of the time, it will be whoever gets accepted first - but not always.
