[color=006400][h1][center]Harry Potter - The Riddle Years[/center][/h1][/color] [center]A semi-open world RP set in the Harry Potter universe, in the 30's when Tom Riddle was at school. Year one starts in 1938. In this roleplay you can take classes, learn new spells and make new best friends. It's up to you if you follow the rules strictly or if you want to explore and bend them a little. Hogwarts is everything you expected it to be and more. You can hardly wait for the year to begin, to start an adventure of your own. Tales you've heard about the secrets yet to be uncovered. It's all you can do to not let excitement spill over. However, for some, trouble calls them and soon they uncover some of Hogwarts most guarded secrets. Why are students going missing? Isn’t Hogwarts the safest place in the Wizarding world? And why does that Slytherin boy seem so suspicious? X Your characters will embark on uncovering and solving the mystery, as well as living in the Hogwarts universe. I ask that you make your characters either first years or second years. A deep knowledge of the world isn't required as I will provide extra information for those who want it. This is a casual roleplay so I don’t expect tons and tons of writing, just a paragraph or two. If you have any questions about anything, then feel free to ask me.[/center] [b][center]Rules Respect each other; a little in character rivalry is okay You may play two characters if you wish No Godmodding/Metagaming Please post your character sheets for approval first Mention/tag anyone you interact with in your IC posts Have fun![/center][/b] [hider=HOUSE INFORMATION]Slytherin: The most notorious house of cunning and ambition. The common room is located in the dungeons, next to the lake. The inside is decorated in mostly green and silver and the light is slightly green too due to the large window from the lake. The passwords are often related to the superiority of blood status. Gryffindor: Bravery and daring coupled with recklessness. The common room is in one of the highest towers in Hogwarts. It is a circular room, decorated in warm hues of red and orange, filled with comfy armchairs and a roaring fire. Ravenclaw: Wit and wisdom defines this house so much so that students have to answer a riddle to gain access into their tower common room. An eagle doorknocker asks the riddle. It has graceful arched windows, and the walls are hung with blue and bronze silks. The domed ceiling is painted with stars, which are echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. Hufflepuff: Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses; valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. The common room is accessed through a pile of large barrels, found stacked in a shadowy stone recess on a right-hand side corridor near the kitchens. The common room is a large, earthy, round room with low ceilings. The view from the round windows is of dandelions and rippling grass.[/HIDER] [HIDER=CLASSES AND STAFF]Headmaster - Armando Dippet Head of Houses: Slytherin – Professor Slughorn Gryffindor – Professor Heartbury Ravenclaw- Professor Auerbach Hufflepuff- Proffessor Burandt Transfiguration – Professor Dumbledore Potions – Professor Slughorn Charms - Professor Greenberg History of Magic – Professor Binns Defence Against the Dark Arts – Professor Lowe Astronomy – Professor Visco Herbology – Professor -Widner Flying – Madam Twain SECOND YEAR ONLY – AN ADDITIONAL TWO Arithmancy – Professor Lugira Muggle studies – Professor Roberts Divination – Professor Zheng Ancient Runes – Professor Ortiz Care of Magical Creatures – Professor Smirin[/HIDER] [HIDER=CLUBS]Potions Gobstones Magical Creatures Club Quidditch (Second years only) Chess Dueling Book Charms[/HIDER] [HIDER=CHARACTER SHEET]Name: Age: House: Blood Status: Patronus: Appearance: (Description / Image) Relationships :(Friends/ enemies / siblings) Personality: (Minimum of one paragraph; at least two flaws) Best class: Worse class: Any Clubs:[/HIDER]
