[h1][center][b]Harry Potter: Alternatum[/b][/center][/h1]

Harry has fled from his duty, and as such, the world has suffered greatly from it. Voldemort has taken the wizarding world by storm, and some believe he is building an army to take on the world itself. Tension builds between the local muggle government and the wizards themselves, and many believe that war is brewing underneath it all. Muggles continue to disappear as well, sent off to camps where they are "re-educated". 

You are a seventh year student at Hogwarts. You are not special beyond your wizarding abilities, and as such, you are ready to graduate soon. What happens next will change your life, and Hogwarts forever. Will you succeed where Harry could not? Can you fight back against the Dark Lord himself?

[h1][center][b]Character Sheet[/b][/center][/h1]

This character sheet will be eventually placed in the characters section once its finished and your character accepted. If you have any questions, please refer to the OOC post or reply your question below. The CS is fairly straightforward, and I cannot wait to see what is applied. 

[hider=Character Sheet][b]Name:[/b] This is fairly obvious. What is your name? Please note, all famous houses in the books/films are taken.

[b]Age:[/b] Your character is already in their 7th year, so make your age appropriate. 

[b]Gender:[/b] Another fairly obvious question.

[b]House:[/b] All four houses are still at Hogwarts, however Gryffindor is now looked down upon by the others. Slytherin makes up the biggest, strongest and "best" house. All information on the aforementioned houses has been scrubbed if it did not fit the narrative Voldemort was creating. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] Pictures are fine, but I still want a description of your character. Please do not use anime pictures.

[b]Blood Status:[/b] If you are a "mud-blood", you must explain how you have concealed such a status. Mud-bloods at Hogwarts ARE possible, but it is quite rare.

[b]Abilities:[/b] What school of magic is your character great in? Is your character good at Transfiguration or Charms? Perhaps they are more trained in Hexes? 

[b]Best Spell:

[h1][center][b]World Info[/b][/center][/h1]

The wizarding world has definitely changed since Voldemort took power after the Battle of Hogwarts. Immediately reconstructing the Ministry of Magic, the sole purpose of the magical government turned from governing to persecuting Muggles and their kin. With no one able to fight back collectively, the government would eventually place the muggles in "re-education" camps. Stories of these camps are quite terrible, though none can be completely proven. Most try to make the rumors disappear, or calmly claim they are hyperbole. 

Voldemort led a very concentrated campaign to find Harry after he fled the battle. For years, the Ministry sent out bounty hunters, mercenaries and even muggles to capture the young man. However, none were ever successful, and to this day, Harry has not been found. It is widely believed he is dead at this point, even though the Ministry continues to put out posters. The other troublesome wizards of the era have either been killed or captured, their lives snuffed out by Voldemort's regime. 

Hogwarts has been rebuilt to Voldemort's ideals, and the castle shows his influence. The headmasters pictures have been destroyed, and all that remains are shrines to Voldemort's abilities and "events". The four noble houses are still incorporated into teaching, as Voldemort was unable to completely get rid of the history behind them. Gryffindor students are looked down upon by the teachers however, and they are disadvantaged when it comes to their overall teaching. Many new students pray not to be sorted into Gryffindor, simply because they do not want their education to lack. Slytherin has become the predominant house, with their students even being taught offensive spells. Many graduates from that house go on to become Ministry or political players.
