TBQH I think I plan on keeping this modern, but I thought it would be quite interesting if - instead of " self sorting " and saying what house you are in.. I could play the sorting hat, and do a one on one pm rp with each student, and essentially incorporate that into a large post, whereby, therein allowing students to slowly become introduced to houses. We could go into the subject of knowing from the profile, what your character's personality is like, have the hat converse with you, and then ultimately make a decision " together " - about the house. Or it can be done, quickly on skype, and then put a ( as mentioned before ) together a master post, where the hat sorts all the students, after which the sorted students can begin to mingle..

I like playing the headmaster a lot, so I would take up that post, and if anyone was considering a teacher, I would look them over myself. I am a " post privately " about your characters, type of person, so if any of this is of interest to you, I can create several threads. 1 for Character lists, with hidden tabs that only the DM - aka me, would be able to see. I would like to start this aforementioned RP on the first day of school ( obviously ) so, it would make it easier for everyone to jump onto the train and talk to one another etc.

How does this sound?
