Clarice is a clever, intelligent and quick-witted girl. A curious nature, a sharp tongue, and a direct way of approaching things, she is not afraid to speak her mind. Her grandmother describes her as being reckless, and a daydreamer. Clarice is an energetic, tomboyish girl filled with life and humor. At 15 she is still clinging onto that last bits of childhood life. She is stubborn, strong willed, and kind of an old soul type of girl. She does not warm to strangers easily, and appears afraid of nothing. As the youngest child in her family she gets away with a lot more then her older sisters, less responsibility and more carefree.

She is extremely loyal to her family and true friends, but to others not at all, unless she gets something out of it. She hates being talked down to, and will attack back verbally or physically if insulted/bullied. She’s a tough girl, and not a big fan of adults who treat her like a child or think their smarter then her. She likes to think she is smarter then most people. She wants to be strongly independent, so she works hard in things she sees as beneficial, or fun. As she grows older the more sly, brave, and prudent she becomes. Don't cross her, she has a tendency for revenge and holding grudges...she can be a fierce monster when she wants to be.

Fears:

Losing her family, Losing her mind like her mother, Dying, Being betrayed by people she trusts, and hights

Biography:

Clarice grew up in the Dashwood country estate, located on the outskirts of the muggle town of Abingdon Virginia. She lived with her lovable father Magnus Dashwood, Her beautiful mother Liberty Dashwood, who was the oldest daughter of the aristocate pureblood Goodspeed family, and of course her two older sisters Janis and Shelby. She grew up in a happy caring environment and spent most of her time reading, writing, drawing and playing Wizard's Chess with her dad. Any other spare time was spent eavesdropping on her older sister's conversations, or pretending to be a teacher at Hogwarts for which she would get dolls to be her students. She also loved pretending to fly, and mixing the hair products and lotions in the bathroom with juice and mud, brewing potions, she like to call it. Being just days old she showed signs of magic, unlike her older sisters who were a bit slower to show there's. It was a picturesque life in the American south, and her summers were spent in the riverside village of Starcross, in England with her family, at her maternal grandparents manor.

When Clarice was eight her mother was accidentally hit by a spell, that caused her to loose her mind, and come in out of a catatonic state every few months. Clarice's father was devastated, as was the rest of the family. After ten months with her mother in bed, and mind lost, it was clear that nothing would fix her mom. So her father at the urging of his parents-in-law the Goodspeeds, sent Liberty to St. Mungo's in England, to be a resident of the Janus Thickey Ward, were she still remains even now. The family as a whole had to adjust to the absence and overall loss of there mother. Her father became so depressed and detached that he thought it best to send his three daughters to stay with their grandparents for awhile. So the girls lived with there maternal grandparents for over a year. Her father after receiving some help for his despair, had the girls come back to him after about thirteen months.

At age eleven Clarice got her letter from SWI. She was so happy, seeing that she was sick a tired of being the only one not going, and missing her sisters and cousins all year long, sitting at home alone, with nothing but the cat, and when they did come home all they ever talked about was there life a SWI. When Clarice was being sorted into a house as a first year, she proved to be harder to place in house then most. The sorting -object- had difficulty choosing a house for her, which was odd for a blood member of the Dashwood line, seeing as they were practically always 'Rain Birds'. Clarice had many of the qualities of each house, as all wizards do, hers qualities were just even in dominance, some stronger then others, making it a tad harder to place her in a house.

Her father and sister Shelby always joked that she would end up in Azeban, because of her mischievous and resourceful ways. But the farthest thing form Clarice was Azeban-like Ambition, leadership skills, and the thirst for power. Her grandfather always would say "You'll be in Animikii, I just know it. Your not afraid of anything Dear." But though she was tomboyish, and was never afraid to eat a worm on a dare, or spend the night in the forest alone, she was not at all made out for Animikii; In Clarice's opinion anyone could be brave and daring if they wanted to be.

In the end it came down 'Nolka Nari' or 'Rain Bird', and the fact that all she ever wanted was to be in 'Rain Bird' with her sisters, helped make the final decision. She was over-joyed as 'Rain Bird' became her school family, as her new house at SWI. It was the house she wanted to be in of course, it really did suit her. The kind of loyalty, kindness, and tolerance that she showed towards the people she loves and trust, knows no equal. Though true full trust is not something Clarice just gives away, of course. As she has learned over the last few years at SWI trust is a privilege given to the few true that can appreciate and earn it.

Anyway after the eventful choosing ceremony, Her first year was spent mostly studying, and following her cousins, and older sister Janis around, she learned quickly and excelled in Transfiguration, Potions, and Charms. Clarice got very high marks in all classes, except for flying. Flying seemed to not agree with her, finding heights to be a major fear of hers.

Second year Clarice tried out for her house Quidditch team trying to be more like her older sister Shelby who was the 'Rain Birds' seeker four years running, and she had read a book on fighting your fears... but she failed miserably after she fell off her broom and broke her arm in two places. She spent the rest of the year studying and reading books in library, with her friends Gregor and Pollix; she had even snuk into the restricted section three different times. She also joined The Potions Club that year making friend with a girl named Yemaya. She ended up with top marks in nearly all her classes. Near the end of her second year she chose Divination, Muggle Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures for her extra classes for next year. The summer before she started her third year she spent with her Cousins, Victor, Zoella, and her sisters at the wizard resort in France, she went visiting her mother in the hospital, riding horses at the muggle's neighbors farm.

Third year was one of changes, as she was growing up faster then she'd like. She joined the Duelling Club that year making friends with some of the other kids in it. Pollix who had been one of her best friends had become one of the school bullies, as he had made new Azeban friends over the summer, and decided that being friends with girls was dumb. Muggle Studies jumpped up to the top of her favorite classes. Divination proved to be a challenge for her, but she found it entertaining to say the least, and the crush on Mr. Goodman may have been a plus. Her first trip to Honeycutt as a third year was fun, but not as exciting as she anticipated. Most of her girl friends spent the entire time giggling over boys or wondering around Glenda’s Wizardwear. Clarice spent her time looking around inside Volume and Tomes, and hanging out with Gregor in Bunko’s Joke Shop. The year went by fast, and summer came. She spent practically half of the summer in France with her grandmother, like she did every year, but it was different that summer, she was different, and she could only find the stay with her grandmother as stifling, strict, and snobbish. The rest of the summer was better. Staying at her friend Yemaya's house in Arizona, and getting to go to the Quidditch World Cup were the highlights.

Fourth year was spent mostly preparing for the O.W.L.s. sometimes with her friends and other time alone. She got passes from her professors to enter the restricted section, instead of sneaking in like she had done the years before. She spent many days reading over as many books she could in the library. And by the middle of the year she had come to the conclusion that she was bored with studying, and she wanted to do something, anything. Yemaya suggested dating, Gregor suggested some pranks and rule braking, and some other friends had other ideas. Trying them all out was Clarice's new goal! She had noticed an attractive 6th year Azeban boy, had taken a liking to her. Clarice found the crush amusing and was secretly flattered. They ended up only going on one date, to 'Lovett’s Heart' on one of the Honeycutt trips. Thought the date went well, and nothing embarrassing nor awkward happened, Clarice felt bored chatting about Quidditch and other sports, the relationship didn't go any farther that. Rule braking came next on the list of things to do. Gregor, Yemaya, Clarice and some of her friends from deulling club decided exploring the school at night would be fun, and looking for the hidden treasure room from one of the SWI legends could to. Two hours into there little adventure, they ended up with two week detention, and no treasure room.

It came time for the fifth years like her cousin Zoella, to receive career counselling from the Head of there house, and Clarice's cousin Zoella told her all about it. School would be out in four months, and Clarice would be promoted to 5th year. She found that she had no idea what she wanted to be or do as a career in the future. Her father, teachers, and friends told her that it was not the time to worry about it, but worry she did. She was taking the O.W.L.s. next year, and for the next few weeks all she could think about was her future. Career option began weighting on her mind, and she felt that if she didn't choose soon it would be to late. She was thinking ether Spell inventor, Potioneer, a Professor or maybe writing and illustrating her own line of textbooks, study guides and her own magic creations. She like the Idea of being a spell inventor and a Potioneer at the same time. Creating and perfecting enough of her own Potions and Spell to write a few good books and then become a Professor at a top Wizard school in her later years, and this became her full blown ambition for the rest of the year. Trying to create her own spells landed her in the hospital more then once that year. The year ended and she when home for the summer. After a few weeks of her father and older sister Shelby talking her into going out and having fun during the summer, Clarice found her previous worry and ideas of the future to be unrealistic and stupid. The highs and lows of being a teenage sucked, more then when she watched her sisters go through it as a kid. The summer was slow. Her sister Shelby got engaged, and there was a party to celebrate. She spent two weeks at her Cousins house, which was an experience, as they lived completely in the muggle world, in the suburbs of Boston, and she used a computer for the first time. Internet was like a form of muggle magic.

Now back to school for another fun-filled year!

Accepted! ^_^

Salem Witches' Institute {High-Casual, Harry Potter}

Oh hon I totally understand, and admire the fact that you have the courage to stand up and run your RP exactly how you want. When I make my own RPs I still have a very hard time saying no, or telling someone to change something.

@Emma

Thanks! I'm glad there's no hard feelings ^_^

RPGC #1 Conversation Thread

I would like to thank everybody for their praise and criticism on my poem. It means a lot since the topic of it is really important to me and to my whole family. And I want to say to everyone else that you guys had awesome entries and are truly inspiring.

Salem Witches' Institute {High-Casual, Harry Potter}

If you guys want, we could always have all of the characters be first years so we can roleplay from year 1 all the way to year 7.

<Snipped quote by Apokalipse>

Thanks. I've decided this is not the RP for me. I'll remove my characters. Please delete any posts containing their details ^_^

@Lullyn

Okay, good luck in any other RPs you join.

<Snipped quote by Apokalipse>

1 -- Added

2 -- Fixed

3 --

"Having traits of every house" -- Read 4 below please

"witnessing death" - Deleted, since that was more just an explanation for seeing the thestrals

"her mom going insane" -- I just wanted one sad/dark/interesting family/life thing in there or then her whole life would have been obnoxiously perfect.

"her dad becoming distant" - Kind of what happens to a guy when the love of his life/wife is forever insane, grief/blame and so on.

"showing signs at a young age". - some wizards do and some dont, like some babies walk before others, some learn to talk fast. Thats all I meant by it.

4 -- I added more on to this, so everyone can comprehend what I was going for and meant. No one really fits perfectly and completely in one category, they just show more aptitude for one then others, or are more prone to acting and seeing things a certain way then another. And I have read/watch the books/movies, and have scoured the harry potter wikia (and pottermore) just to make sure on this. But during the sorting ceremony the child opinion/choice towards which house they end up in weight heavily on the decision. Like Harry being could have been Slytherin, Hermione could have been ravenclaw, and Luna is kinda of out of the box anyway. But I can change from Rain Bird to somthing else if you see a problem.

@Emma

To me, it seemed as if your character was leaning more towards the other houses, but I will look it over once more. Also, with the "shwoing signs at a young age" I had thought that you were saying she was gifted at it, my apologies. Her dad becoming distant and her mom being insane are okay now that the whole seeing-thestrals-and-saw-grandaddy-died are out of the picture. I will look over your CS before I accept it, but there probably shouldn't be much trouble with it

I would like to say that I know I'm being a little harsh, and I'm trying to be nice about it, but I've had experiences in my past RPs where I had virtually accepted everyone due to not wanting to hurt anybody's feelings and the RP hadn't turned out well. Also, I have been in RPs where there would be great writers...but also terrible writers, and while you have to practice to get good, it hampered and greatly affected the fun factor for everybody else. Like I said, I'm not trying to be mean, so don't take anything I say as a personal attack ^_^

Aeron Dwyn

|Aeron Dwyn|

Name:

Aeron Dwyn

Gender:

Male

Age:

11

Year:

1st

Blood:

Half Blood

House:

Nolka Nari

Pet:

No personal pets.

Electives:

NA

Clubs:

Magical Creature Club & Duelling Club

Personality:(At least a paragraph)

Aeron is the youngest of 2 children, his sister being Artemis.
He is quite a confident person, but doesn't go out of his way to get to know people. He likes people well enough, but he sees it that if you're worth knowing, he'll get to know you. If not, you're not worth his time.
He's often referred to as "that cute English kid" which can be somewhat mortifying when you're about to start a new school and would rather be cool than cute, but he'd rather have the company of a good book or sit quietly with his own thoughts, than put on a show for people.
He's protective of his big sister, Artemis, and is one of the few people who understand her. He was the one who used to tell the other kids to take a hike, even though he was a lot younger than her. It didn't help much, but he would do anything to make her happy. He also knows about her "imaginary" friend.
He has a English accent, but not the one his American classmates seem to expect him to have when he told them he was English, as well as from Nottingham, which is where Robin Hood is based. He's certainly not got the "Kevin Costner" twang, but that's because Kevin Costner is American, not English (as he has told more than one person). He doesn't sound like Alan Rickman either, because Alan Rickman speaks like a posh Londoner, which is nowhere near where he lives.
"That's like me saying you don't sound like your American because you're not from the South of America and have a country accent." He doesn't say class which sounds like "cla-arse" but like cla-ass, which confuses those who have never met an ordinary kid from the midlands, let alone heard their accent.
He is cheeky, and somewhat sarcastic with people he sees are below good intelligence, mostly because he can't understand why they seem to think they're clever or have the right to tell him anything. Unfortunately this can get him into quite a bit of trouble, as he forgets he’s actually a short kid with a clever mouth, but not much of a fighter.
He can have a short temper, but it's more frustration than anything else that gets him riled up.

Fears:

Actually being found to not be as clever as he's always believed. Not being able to see his sister.

Biography:(At least two paragraphs)

Artemis lives with with Aunt and brother in the UK.

Their parents passed away, so they were sent to live with their aunt, their mother's younger sister, or rather she was sent to live with them. She's a bit batty, and very indulgent of the children, more like a big sister or cousin, than as Aunt. Her name is Millie.

Millie was always a little ditsy, which is why it was a rather large shock that they were left to her care, mostly to the rest of the family. Millie recieved the house in trust, until Artemis turned 18, where it would revert to her, and in trust for Aeron. It couldn't be sold until Aeron becomes 18.

Mille had been living all over the place before that, having backpacked around the world, so it was hard for her to suddenly have the care of 2 children to think about, especially with them already being 9 and 7.
It took a long time for them to really see Millie with any respect. They loved their aunt, for she always brought them cool things back from her travels or sent them pictures via Skype and email (Millie was a huge muggle fan, despite being a pure blood herself). Even though they liked her, they couldn't see her as a serious guardian, because she struggled to give them any disipline or to have any control over her own life, never mind them.

However, Millie is quite plassid, so Aeron being very smart for his age and already able to annoy most adults with persistant questions and then correcting them whenever they were wrong didn't bother her, though it annoyed him considerably for some time. Artemis always found it funny watching him get mad as he tried to irritate their aunt, who would just smile and say "I'm sure you're right, dear."

She could also beat him at Chess, which really riled him because she never seemed to be paying any attention, doing 10 other things at the same time.

Millie was a sweet person, but smarter than she seemed to want to show, sometimes coming out with random facts which even surprised Aeron, who listened carefully and challenged everything. She'd often tell him that he must be right, but when he went to check, he'd find she had been right.

Aeron also noticed that Artemis was getting picking on at school which annoyed him. He was quite a bit younger than her, but he tried to stick up for her where he could. Unfortunately this didn't seem to help much, only getting him in trouble and worrying her. He knew people were funny about her name, which he didn't understand because it was a good name, though he normally called her Arty. IT was a pet name her parents had given her when Aeron was little, because he couldn't say her full name.

When Artemis got her letter for Salem, Millie was over joyed, but Artemis was beside herself and unconsoleable. Millie eventually persuaded her it was a wonderful opportunity.

"You'll make wonderful new friends," he aunt had told her. "And Julian will be with you."

Artemis has created Julian and her aunt and brother were the only ones who knew about him. Her aunt did say it was best none of them told anyone else, that it was a special secret. It was only when she got older that she understood her aunt didn't want people to think her crazy or to bully her more.

So Artemis went away to school and wrote home a lot. Aeron always received his own letters and wrote back using the family's owl.

He was relieved, and so was Artemis, when they found out he'd be joining her at Salem. It was unusual, but not unheard of, for students to go to students so far away from home, but families often went to the same school.

Year:

Blood:

Half blood

House:

Nolka Nari

Pet:

None.

Electives:

COMC, Muggle Studies & Study of Ancient Runes

Clubs:

Potions, COMC

Personality:(At least a paragraph)

Artemis is quite a quiet person, keeping to herself, but then again who wouldn't be if they had to leave their own country to attend school?

It was a bit of a shock to get her letter, but now her little brother will be attending, she feels somewhat relieved.

Artemis is friendly but struggles to make the first move with people. she thinks she'll say the wrong thing, or trip over and embarrass herself. Her biggest worry is that people won't like her. She often tries too hard to make other people like her, or at least make them happy, which means that she can end up putting herself in trouble.

She used to be picked on at her last school for her name, because it sounds like a boys name. It's hard to explain that Artemis was the goddess of the hunt when you're trying not to cry, and when she finally did tell people, they made more fun that she had not only a stupid name, but that she's supposed to be some great hunter.

Because of this, she can struggle to show how smart she actually is. Not having many friends growing up, she used her time to read. She loves online RPG, and struggles to be herself with people face to face, in case they don't like what they see.

If you get to know her, you'll find she's actually very smart, funny, and really sweet. She even has an imaginary friend called Julian, who was a character she created after a dream she had when she was young. She wrote it all down and submitted it to a short story competition at school.

Since then, when she's on her own, her pretends he's with her. It also includes talking to herself,which caused people to give her funny looks, but since she's getting used to that.

If anyone actually watched her closely, they could tell a lot about when she’s thinking by what she does with her hair. I.e. When she’s embarrassed but in a good way, she tugs a piece of her fringe down, sometimes even mumbling to herself, but when she's embarrassed and it's bad, she lets her hair down to hide behind like a curtain. When she’s thinking, she ties it up in a messily.

She desperately believes in Karma and that if you're good, good things come to you. She's a hopeless romantic and optimist, hoping her life will turn out like a fairy tale, which is why she spends as much time reading stories as she does studying.

Likes:(At least three)

cooking, reading fairy tales and romantic classics (her favourite being Pride and Predjudice and Jane Eyre).
Finding a quiet place to sit
Storms
Lemonade
Pineapple cubes
Salted caramel chocolates
People who work hard (though she admires people who have an ease of getting people to like them).
Animals
The rain
To run on her own, especially when she's upset

Dislikes:(At least three)

Those who rely on others to fight their battles or people who are all mouth and no action, being bored, people who think they’re clever. Being patronized

Fears:

Insects

She could also beat him at Chess, which really riled him because she never seemed to be paying any attention, doing 10 other things at the same time.

Millie was a sweet person, but couldn't really help Artemis, other than to tell her to ignore the kids who picked on her.

"You have a beautiful name," she told her with a smile. "Now Mildred is an awful name. I used to get called Wind Mill Head and Mildew. You have a beautiful name, Arty."

Arty was a pet name her parents had given her when Aeron was little, because he couldn't say her full name.

When Artemis got her letter for Salem, Millie was over joyed, but Artemis was beside herself and unconsoleable. Millie eventually pursuaded her it was a wonderufl oppurtunity.

"You'll make wonderful new friends," he aunt had told her. "And Julian will be with you."

Artemis has created Julian and her aunt and brother were the only ones who knew about him. Her aunt did say it was best none of them told anyone else, that it was a special secret. It was only when she got older that she understood her aunt didn't want people to think her crazy or to bully her more.

So Artemis went away to school and wrote home a lot. Still does. She met people, but no one she felt was very special. Her aunt asked about boys, which made her blush whenever she saw the words. She wished there was someone, like Julian, who would make her feel special. She said this to her aunt during their last holiday.

"There's only one Julian," her aunt told her with a smile. "But if you keep relying on him, you may miss the chance to meet someone even better."

So Artemis is returning to school in the hopes that maybe this year she might make some real friends.

@Lullyn

I am incredibly reluctant to allow Artemis to have an imaginary friend, however I will allow it as long as it is not over-done, over-dramatic, and you create a bullying situation that is not realistic and make it generally over the top. The personalities need work - there are too many positive personality traits than negative personality traits. In order to create a character, you need to give them a rough, negative personality to start with in order to have more character development throughout the plot. Or, at the very least, have a balance of positive and negative traits. Neither of your characters have this.

<Snipped quote by Apokalipse>

Sounds good, just checking. Little details I guess. Also as a semi-joking suggestion for transportation. How about a magical version of a hyperloop? Lol, but seriously that's quite a task considering the sheer size of the area the school covers. Asking everyone to make it themselves seems like the most reasonable way. Maybe whatever passes as the magical DOT has designated "highways" for brooms and flying vehicles to to stick to in order to lessen the chance of Muggles seeing them?

@Prints Avoid

Yeah, that sounds nice. I'll go over my options, but I'll keep that in mind (:

Salem Witches' Institute {High-Casual, Harry Potter}

Quick question, do the characters have to have been here since year 1, or could they have transferred?

@Lullyn

Year 1. Typically speaking, there is no such thing as transferring in the Harry Potter world or choosing the school that you go to. If I remember correctly, the way it works is that the student will magically appear on the list of a school that they are closest to. However, for the sake of the players, I am allowing it for students to be from a different country and having chosen to come to a certain school. But, no, you will have to have been at the school since year 1.

I'm gonna be THAT GUY. I don't know your opinion of the information coming out of Pottermore itself but the link you posted really doesn't seem to have anything to do with it at all. It's your RP and if you prefer to use that information, I'll shut up and happily go along with it. It's a bunch of detail work anyway. But, I have to say I do prefer the descriptions, particularly of wand woods, from Pottermore. I feel like they live up better to the idea of "the wand chooses the wizard" and gives them more personality. The others just seem like "oh this wand is good at this type of magic" and that's about it.

I know that the information at the website is correct canonically, but however you want to choose it is up to you. I know that Ollivander's only uses Unicorn hair, Phoenix feathers, and Dragon heartstring, and I also know that the ingredients and woods come from the Ollivander's notes on the website. But like I said, it's up to you, I don't particularly care where it comes from, as long as it isn't like an oh-so-special wand that can destroy the universe or whatever. So, don't worry. I was just giving a resource 'cause I know that it's hard picking a wand and I personally like to pick what my character is skilled at and what they fail at due to their wands workings.

The Archon Resonance

Indigo watched Isa slump down after the rather rude interaction. She hadn’t expected to follow the two, but that is where the majority seemed to go and Indigo did not know the place well. She figured that, despite how reluctant she was, learning the skills of her teammates would be the best thing to do in order to survive.

With stone eyes and a hard line for a mouth, Indigo approached Isa and looked down at her, a sense of superiority filling her. These “civilized” are nothing but lions wearing sheep skin. They can act as if they are better than the wild Feren, as if they are above such feral-ness, it came down to one simple concept: loyalty. Indigo’s time on Tengu Island was spent with family and a pack that she protected with every inch of her skin and every ounce of her being; these supposedly superior creatures turn on their own at the very moment they smell weakness.
Indigo bent down and placed a hand on Isa’s shoulder and pulled back her shoulders, subconsciously explaining her superiority towards such a pitiful civilization through her proud stature and slightly smug features. But Indigo doubted anyone would sense it, any of these ignorant people would notice her stiff pride.

“I have found that your people are cruel.” Indigo muttered, not unkindly but matter-of-factly. “Your people are quick to flip their allegiance – lacking loyalty. They will not last long on the field. Take pride.”

With her fragmented sentences over, Indigo let her hand curl under Isa’s arm and yank the girl to her feet.

Alma Mater Maximus

So... guess we should start posting soon, I didn't want to be the first guy partly since I don't know where to start, but probably be good to really get started here.

@Damiann47

Yeah, sorry for not posting yet, school just started up today and I had to write three paragraphs last minute for school today. I will try to get something up today or tomorrow
