I'm feeling nostalgic and just want a small Hogwarts group RP. Casual and free posting about the sorcerers slice of life mingled with teen angst and classes and Quidditch matches. No Dark Lord yet but perhaps later. I'm thinking fifth year because there's room to make the game long lasting into sixth, seventh, and perhaps following our characters as adults in the larger wizarding world. Plus with OWLs and figuring out careers and who they want to be is a good starting point. I have two characters I am interested in doubling. I also have more character ideas and don't mind writing professors or other NPC types to make the school feel alive. [hider=Frigga Pillmage] [img]http://i66.tinypic.com/1zx4euf.jpg[/img] Name: Frigga Pillmage House: Gryffindor Sign: Gemini Wand: 10 inches, apple, veela hair core, flexible Blood: Half goblin, quarter veela, quarter witch Pet: A puffskein named Snoggins Quidditch position: Seeker, though she has to play blindfolded because other teams claim her goblin heritage gives her an advantage catching the Snitch because it's made of gold Bio: Her Goblin father owns Pillmages Pawn Shop in Knockturn Alley. She used to be a daddy's girl but it was considered a betrayal to goblin kind when she was sorted into Gryffindor, the house of the goblin rebellions sworn enemy. She's stolen and sold artefacts on black market behind his back to pay for a human nose job from St. Mungo's. To punish her she had to volunteer to feed the dragons at St. Mungo's, but it turns out, she actually LOVES the beasts and wants to be a dragon keeper when she graduates, to rescue the battered neglected beasts goblins enslave out of their own greed.[/hider] [hider=Heathcliff Hedges] [img]http://i67.tinypic.com/314rx2f.jpg[/img] Name: Heathcliff Hedges House: Hufflepuff Sign: Scorpio Wand,: 11 1/2 inches, oak, unicorn hair core, unbreakable. His wand is tied to the large gnarled piece of driftwood carved with runic symbols and names of his crushes he uses as a walking cane but which appears like archetypal wizards staff Blood: Muggleborn Pet: Barn owl named Hecate along with a fire salamander named Calicifer he keeps resurrecting from ash in a firewhiskey bottle he uses as an alchemy flask School title: Prefect and Hospital Wing Aide Bio: Heathcliff is missing his right eye, has an amputated left arm, and walks with a limp. He was badly injured by a kelpie before attending to Hogwarts while camping in Scottish highlands, who nearly drowned him to death, along with killing his scout master and causing his troop mate to disappear without a trace. As a result, he is drawn to potion brewing, herbalism, and the healing arts in order to heal the wounds of others magical and muggle alike. Rather than being a St Mungo's healer he'd like to be a village wise man like ancient times, and straddle both the wizarding and non magical worlds. But he's more of a village wise ass. He's terrified of anything equine and thestrals are his boggart because they remind him of the pale horse of death he witnessed and somehow escaped. He spends most of his time in the greenhouses, tending to the gardens outside, volunteering in the hospital wing even if it's just to make a scared first year laugh stitches to forget they're getting stitches. He is always tending to his flock of wounded birdies whether they're girls who friend zoned him or bullied Muggleborn first years. He is also something of the school stoner since the potions and herbs he takes relieves his pain but just alters other wizards moods. He has been studying alchemy more closely and dreams of brewing his own elixir of life someday. He's terrified of swimming and won't go near the lake but throws the giant squid cauldron cake crumbs to stay on her good side. Personality: Most crippling thing about him is his sarcasm, workaholic, loyal to the bone, would rather get his hands dirty potion brewing and in the greenhouse to prove wands are all wizards crutch, moody and gruff on the outside but just wants to help everyone he can without accepting help or rather accepting that he ever NEEDS help in return [/hider] So if you're interested just post character description of the student you'd like to play. I scribbled my characters because I don't use faceclaims but you can use whatever visuals you want or none at all. If you don't mind my doodles I'll even sketch your character when I have time if you'd like. No more than two main characters per person please. And I'll write an intro up for both Heath and Frigga to get us started. As long as everyone agrees on start of fifth year. At least my characters are fifth years.
