[OOC] Hogwarts, 1480

[Gisk]

Name: Isaac Prewett
Age: 13
Appearance:
House: Gryffindor
Wand: Aspen and unicorn hair. Twelve inches, middling pliability.
Personality: A confident and daring young fellow, with little fear of the unknown and untried. Easy to goad into unwise behavior, his recklessness is most often tempered not by a cautious quality of his own, but by that of his twin brother. He’s generally good natured and good humored, and he forgives almost as easily as he takes offense, giving him a gift for making friends out of enemies.

Bio: Isaac and his twin brother, Chandler, were a naturally inseparable pair from the very start. Their family have long since come to terms with this, and throughout their nobelman's upbringing, they were showed off to extended family and friends as a sort of "matching pair," where they would display well practiced drills in both wand and sword dueling. In these drills, Chandler intentionally mimicked any mistakes that Isaac made with his wand, while Isaac returned the favor with the sword, so that neither would outshine the other.

At Hogwarts, this mimicry of each others weaknesses ended, because they were no longer dealing with doting family, or friends who had to stay on good terms with their father. Instead, they began to make up for each other's failings. Isaac's stronger personality kept Chandler's social awkwardness from holding him back with his peers, and Chandler would ensure that Isaac turned in his assignments for his less favorite classes.

In their second year, they both played quidditch for their team, Chandler as a Chaser, and Isaac as a beater.

Plotting:
Family: The Prewetts are an old pure blooded family, noble and well respected. Isaac is one of a pair of twins who arrived at the castle in the same year.

@Gisk
>fucklepuff

Aw, this is the worst, my family will be devastated.
Also, what's the length?

[Gisk]

Oh, I wasn't really giving anyone length or flexibility. I think it's a much more vague part of the wand making process.

You can put it down for yourself, if you like. Or find a picture that matches the wood that you like.

[Keksalot]

Aye. My wand will be more like a rod, maintaining roughly the same width and diameter throughout all nine inches. Completely inflexible due to the advanced age of the wood, dark and yellowish-gray in coloration. The side which is supposed to be held by hand is signified by a single small but sharp thorn-like knag. It could probably be used to bash someone's head in with some effort. Is that good?

[Teddyinahat]

I apologise, I didnt mean it as critasism of your CS. I just wanted you to know what I felt.

Im sure she will fit into a Dragon based plot just fine, well, as fine as any shy character fits in to any plot :p

I'll look for a picture for my wand now and add it, thanks :)

[Gisk]

Definitely tell me how you guys feel, just don't lump it in with plot relevant writing.

And great, love to see some wands!

[Apoalo]

So, how is everyone doing? Excited?

[Eyeris]

I'm so excited. And I just can't fight it.

[Eyeris]

wand?

[Eyeris]

@Keksalot do you need a fiance?

[Keksalot]

@Eyeris
If you want to make one then go ahead, sure. But i'm not sure how my guy would even react to actually meeting them n shit.

[Gisk]

That'll be lots of fun.

I think she'll be a cousin of the Prewett twins, too.

I'm working on the opening post, by the way. Expect it by the end of the weekend.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

My CS is nearly finished - just tackling the Bio. :)

Also, the teacher is a WIP - I know what I'm doing with him, just need to write it up.

[Gisk]

We're gonna be live tonight, guys.

Before midnight, most likely.

[Teddyinahat]

We're gonna be live tonight, guys.

Before midnight, most likely.

@Gisk

Before midnight in what timezone?

[PhunkyPhoebe]

Hey there, hope I'm not too late to the party 'cause this RP looks AWESOME.

Here is my character, please let me know if I need to edit or change anything!

Mirabelle Rosier

Name:
Mirabelle Tullia Rosier
(called "Mira" by her family)
Age:
13
Appearance:

House:
Ravenclaw
Wand:
Sycamore, Dragon Heartstring

Personality:
Mira, on the surface, is well-behaved, speaks only when spoken to, and is somewhat shy. Though on her own or with a trusted ally, she is obnoxiously curious and has a deep desire to know what's behind every closed door. She's very good at entertaining herself, is truly an explorer, and often finds herself in situations where she must hide or risk punishment for sneaking around. Free-spirited as she may be, Mira was raised to respect authority and to do as she was told, but still finds it hard to follow this strict way of life. Besides exploring and sticking her nose in places it does not belong, Mira loves to read and is a very intelligent young lady. Biting her tongue was never a specialty of hers and she is certainly no stranger to disciplinary action. Deep down, Mira is lonely and would love a real friend who truly gets her, as she has always found it very hard to find anyone who doesn't find her very peculiar and strange. However, she's had great practice at hiding her true feelings and goes about her days hiding behind a mask to keep her true identity, wants, and desires secret.
Bio:
Although she has his name, Arturo Rosier is not Mira's real father. Her true parentage remains unknown to all except her mother, though Mira has always had a slight inkling that the man who raised her did not share her same blood. Mira grew up practically alone at the Black Estate having no siblings until she was 9 years old with only servants to look after and care for her. Her parents were often away from home and when they were around, neither her mother nor her father made an effort to give her the love and nurturing she so desperately wanted from them. Her father didn't care much for her until he discovered that she was quite the talented witch. Even then, his main concern was how often she was using magic to develop her ability. As a result, Mira is somewhat detached from her parents and family. Having the chance to go away to school was the best thing to happen to her.
Plotting:
Mira's true father has yet to be discovered and is still very much a secret to everyone-including Arturo. I'm pretty positive that if it was revealed that her mother had a child with another man, pureblood or not, it would bring a whole lot of shame and scandal to the family. She might clash with others who find her curiosity and thirst for freedom off-putting. Mira is also from two old pureblood families, so being forced into an arranged marriage with another pureblood son is very likely to happen in the day and age this roleplay takes place.
Family:
Mira's parents are both from distinct, pureblood families. Her father, Arturo, was born into the infamous Rosier family and her mother, Alys, hails from the ancient and notorious Black family. Mira is the eldest and has three other younger siblings: twin brothers, Pollux and Castor, and a sister, Sabine. Arturo is not her real father, and the real one is still unknown.

[Eyeris]

The family tree grows!

My student is a black. Yours mind Chandler and Isaac would all be cousins.

Thule Alexander

Name: Thule Alexander

Age: 106 years old

Appearance:


House: Did not attend Hogwarts.
Wand: Leave blank, the wand chooses the wizard.

Personality:
To those that meet Thule for the first time, they would be surprised by his manner; What at first appears to be an absolute monster who has traded everything in his pursuit of dark power and possible immortality is in what quite civil, often allowing himself to process a charm and dry, cynical wit that one would not expect.

Stranger still is his manner when it comes to his students; While he expects and demands a high standard from his students and he can be quite harsh and creative when someone does something stupid (He tends to come down harder on those who should know better but do it anyway then someone who did it out of ignorance, but not by much), he is a surprisingly caring, helpful person when it comes to the needs of his charges. If a student is having trouble with his subject, he will happily take them aside and offer them some one on one time to try and find some way to assist them in understanding what he is trying to teach, regardless of if they are from the most long lived of noble families or are some muggle born child straight off the farm. It's just a little bit of his time after all and since he doesn't really need to eat or sleep anymore he has quite a far bit of it to make use of.

If Thule had to describe himself in one word, he would call himself 'Content'... Which has made more then a few people wonder how the Combat teacher of Hogwarts got to this point in his existence; He never speaks about his past in detail before he arrived at Hogwarts to teach over two decades ago, but his undead status and his vast and in-depth knowledge of dark magic and its uses suggests that there is a lot more behind the rather terrifying smile of Mr Alexander then he lets on.

Bio:
Thule Alexander was not born as such; He was born Abas Stathos, the fourth child of the head of the small but powerful Stathos family in Athens, Greece. Much was expected from him even at an early age, even if no one actually expected him to truly raise up high in the family; His eldest two brothers were groomed to take over the leadership of the family (In the event that the eldest died), whereas all he would at best form a branch family, but family pride still dictated that he be well educated and able to represent them if need be. Despite the pressure put on him, Abas always felt proud of his family and loved them dearly.

When Abas was fifteen the Stathos family went to war with the equally powerful Petras family, a blood feud that had existed for longer then Abas's father had been alive. Things quickly went bad for the Stathos family when the allied Rossos family betrayed them, entering their estate under the pretense of pooling their forces only start murdering every Stathos member that they could find in service to the Petras.

Not all of the Stathos family died that day, but Abas would never encounter any other survivors of his house. Abandoning his home and former life with the clothes on his back and whatever money and food he was able to salvage, Abas fled Athens with tears in his eyes while hatred and pain coiled around his heart.

He wanted them to pay... the only thing that kept him going was his dreams of both the Petras and Rossos families being wiped from the face of the earth with much screaming and torturous agony; While he felt that it would only be right if the deed was done by his own hand, he knew that he wasn't anywhere near ready to try such a thing.

He needed to get stronger...

For decades, Abas traveled the world, finding whatever teachers he could that would take him on as a student in order to better prepare himself for the day that he would return home and decorate it with corpses. The dark arts offered him a means to do so and he was more then a willing student, willing to do whatever it took to gain the knowledge and power that he needed. More then once he turned to necromancy despite the fact that many considered it a fools branch of magic that no one had ever made work; At first it was in an attempt to bring his dead family back to life, but after decades of failed experiments Abas turned towards a new goal: Extending his life beyond its natural limits.

He feared (Somewhat rightly) that he would never achieve his desire for vengeance in a single lifetime after his body started to decay due to old age and his abuse of the dark powers. Unable to do more then delay his own death, he instead sort a way in which to transcend it; Grasping at the possibility of immortality because it was the only means of avenging his family.

He succeeded at a great price; embracing undeath and becoming something truly unnatural. As part of the ritual, Abas transferred part of his soul into his wand, boosting his magical power greatly. Now magically stronger then he had ever been in life, Abas returned home...

The Petras and Rossos families were not prepared for him; After more then seven decades of peace after the death of the Stathos family, they were caught completely off guard by the magic wielding monster that appeared and both estates in a single night and slaughtered all he could find in truly horrific fashions; their homes were cursed heavily to the point where no living thing would ever dwell there again, the corpses raised as twisted, mindless puppets to patrol the rooms and halls to ensure that no survivors of either family would ever be able to reclaim their birthright.

His vengeance taken and his family avenged, Abas found himself without purpose for the first time in his life. In fact, he found himself at peace for the first time since his family had been betrayed. Leaving his home for the last time, Abas found himself pondering what to do next when he remembered an old memory... a dream that he once had as a child but had abandoned a long time ago. He had wanted to be a teacher...

By chance, he heard that the magical school of Hogwarts in Britannia was seeking someone who could teach students in the magical methods of combat. Seeing it as something of a sign, he abandoned his old name and life and became Thule Alexander before making the journey.

Two decades later, he is still the teacher of combat.

Plotting: Thule is quite clearly a member of the undead, a fact that has caused a fair bit of unease among parents sending their children to the school. Despite pressure to sack him, Thule has managed to stay on due to his talent for his job and the high level of results he got from his students; The requests to sack him and complaints against him tapered off after Thule made it clear that anyone who sent such a request or complaint in to Headmaster Black because he was undead would have to accept his challenge to a duel to the death in return for insulting him and wasting the Headmaster's time. To date he has dueled and killed three people because of this rule.

He is a surprisingly friendly teacher to talk with. Feel free to come up and have a chat about something, be it because you need help with your work or just to ask advice from someone who has seen and done a lot.

Family: None. Thule is the last of his family and due to his status as a member of the undead he will not be having biological children. It will end with him.

Name: Contessa Evangelina "Eva" di Diavolo

Age: 13

Appearance:


House: Hufflepuff

Wand: Rowan wood with a Phoenix feather core; 12 1/2 inches, unyielding flexibility.

Personality: Despite Eva's upbringing, she has attempted to make herself as down to earth and gritty as possible. She'll be the first to get down and dirty in some exploring or adventuring, is extremely outgoing in casual social events (Not so much in formal ones, but then again, it depends on the crowd she's hanging with), and enjoys making friends - particularly with common folk, or simply those without airs and graces. For her, there is nothing worse than acting above everyone else simply because of your blood or your family name - to her, what lays in one's heart is what is important, and she tries to make that known to most new people she meets.
As she would hate for people to assume that she's just another shitty-acting noble, Eva is quick to stick up for underdogs or those being bullied - more than once, this has led to fights in the streets involving a lot of hair pulling and behaviour unbefitting of a Contessa. Despite the various scoldings received from her parents in regards to this, she continues to do so - and will have a lot more chance to truly act like herself in the halls of Hogwarts. Be ready to expect a steadfast friend loyal to the end, who will personally fist-fight a dragon for you - who cares if her dress gets burnt in the meantime?

Bio: The di Diavolo family was a lesser known - but still influential - noble House present in Florence, Italy. Close to the ruling Nobles, House Medici, it was extremely easy for Eva's pure-blood wizarding family to avoid persecution from the Papal States, who did not have much leeway in the state of Florence thanks to the Medici's.

However, that changed in 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV was elected as the new Holy Father of the world. As with most Catholics at the time, he abhorred the thought of magic, science, and anything that could bring down the Catholic Church - which included House Medici. They held Florence, and had disobeyed Rome and the Vatican for far too long. From there, the Pazzi Conspiracy took place.

In 1478, the Pazzi family attempted to assinate two members of the Medici fgamily, and Pope Sixtus had aided the plans along. While they failed to overthrow the family, and did not attack the di Diavolo House directly, Eva's parents were terrified. They had only some protection from the Catholic Church by the Medici's, but this blow shook their confidence in the ruling House of Florence. Scared they too would be attacked - and their status as magic users discovered - the di Diavolo's left Italy, travelling to England to live with Noble family there.

While witch hunts were still prominent in England at this time, it was rare for nobility to be even accused; the peasantry couldn't even try and judge them if they tried. So, the di Diavolo's were safe, building their reputation and their family. They had left Italy with two children; Eva, at 10 years old, and her brother Leonardo, at 13 years old. The pair were already fluent in English (Italy and it's Church had declared the English language as heathenish and dirty - the di Diavolo's took great delight in learning it as a small, private rebellion against the zealous Church), and by the time their younger siblings were born as twins a year later, their accent was all but gone.

Naturally, when their parents caught wind of a wizarding school, they shipped their oldest two off to it immediately. Eva needed the discipline and Leo needed the independence from his parents. Also, with them both at a boarding school, they couldn't complain or refuse any arranged marriages their parents concocted.

Plotting: Her brother is in his fifth year at Hogwarts, and the two get along well enough. He considers her behaviour to be benefiting of her title, but isn't overly annoying about the whole thing. He's more bothered about his nobility than his blood, anyway.
She's unlikely to get along with the pretentious, snobbish, or judgemental - and if she hears the word "mudblood" thrown around, her fists are going to be thrown around too.

Family: Vaguely related to the Black family, somewhere down the line.

[Gisk]

So I'm really sorry guys. My wife's flight got delayed and now I'm with her in another city staying at a hotel until she leaves. I have no computer(or clothes to change into, yuck) so I wanna say this will be postponed until tomorrow.

Also, to answer the question, I'm EST.
