Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry




Whatever your background may be, all of you received a letter in the mail. This may have come as a surprise of you and/or your family hadn't been introduced to the Magical World. Otherwise your family should be extremely proud; their child was accepted to the best school for Witchcraft and Wizardry in the World.



The idea here is that the RP will follow a group a students through their years in Hogwarts; Fighting off monsters, dealing with class and school-related drama and other such things. If you've always wanted to live in the Harry Potter universe but were confined by reality, then you've come to the right place. Just make sure you follow the rules and fill out the information in the Character Sheet. Sorting will be done IC based on the personality section. As a side note, it's important to say that you should follow whatever personality you set for your character.

RULES

  • GMs run the show
  • Regarding Godmodding and Metagaming: Godmodding will only happen in two instances: 1.) Things need to be moved along; 2.) With a player's permission. Do not, under any circumstances, take control of a person's character (this includes NPCs/Monsters) without written consent from the controller. As for metagaming, not a chance. When/if it comes to fighting each other, it can get boring to "leave it open" so if there is a clear winner then you can win. Killing is with GM approval.
  • No spamming.
  • Characters Make them realistic. Everyone has flaws. I want well thought out characters, please. Flaws make for interesting roleplays and allows every character to have a moment to shine as well as fall.
  • Character Sheets The Character Sheet is placed here as well as within the Character Tab. I want to see detail within your character sheets. As far as pictures are concerned; if it fits your character, use it.
  • RP-Specific Anything goes in this RP. Gore, violence, swearing, etc. But moderation is key to making it have weight so keep that in mind. Please only post pictures with a post if it's really necessary.
  • Posting This is a High Casual RP so I'd like to see development in each post, unless you've run out of what you can do (i.e. a conversation). If you and another character plan on having a long interaction, please work out a collab post in OOC or PM.
  • Realism This is a realistic RP, besides....the magic, monsters, etc, so keep it realistic. If your character is injured, they can't heal in thirty minutes (unless GM says otherwise). Nor can they fight in a battle for five hours without collapsing. Keep things realistic, it honestly makes it that much more interesting.
  • Rule Breaking I understand there are slip-ups. Every now and then, a rule breaking post is allowed. However, repeat offenders shouldn't happen.
  • Drama Keep it in PMs or the OOC thread if it's OOC, if it's IC it's totally fine.

@mskennedy615 Yes. I am the co-GM. Just put an already accepted CS right into the character tap.

@ineffable The relationship board is for you to work out relations that your character had before. Wizarding kids maybe knowing other wizarding kids. You know what I mean? The relationship board is nothing you have to use. If you don't want to, you can totally scratch it from your CS altogether.

@ineffable Hi. I think your birthyear would make Charlotte be in the 7th year of Hogwarts. If I am not mistaken we decided that we all wanna start in the same year, to make it easier to interact with each other and have a reason to do so. I will check in with the GM to see if the decision is final, but you might be asked to change her age to 11. You are allowed to play a teacher, though have in mind that teachers don't have much of a reason to be part of the adventures that the GM and the co-GMs think up for the students and might be a little 'left out' of certain situations.

@WanderingSpirit I would appreciate if you could but "Family Information" back over the family information where it belongs. And scratch the big 'Appearance' that is sitting above the family information. Apart from that smaller issues that bug me, the CS looks fine to me. I am sure the GM will wanna look through it though, so please wait for their approval before moving the CS. (I am the co-GM, by the way. Welcome to the story!)

[Edit: Its done!]

Before I start posting approvals or disapprovals, I should point out that the co-GMs have just as much say as I do. So if Kahleen or Bishop criticize your character then you should make it a point to fix it.

@ineffable -- As a GM, I don't like to levy restrictions on players but the age is one that I'm not allowing acceptions to. You may play as a teacher if you wish, but know that they logically wouldn't take part in many of the adventures of first-years.

@WanderingSpirit -- I agree with Kahleen's criticisms. Once those are rectified I'll approve the character.

Kahleen is a Co-GM. It has been decided that everyone will start out at the same year.

Edit: this posted late. Oops.

No, it's fine. Just wasn't showing up for me - I assumed that you didn't have one.
