Hogwarts based RP (OC's)

Bumpity-bump bump.

Hogwarts based RP (OC's)

Let me start off by saying that I made this post years ago and just re-discovered the idea. A lot of the writing below is old but I can't be bothered to heavily edit it as I feel it still gets the point across. Thanks!

---

If you're a Harry Potter fan like me, you've come to the right place. I've been craving a RP with some magic and spells and whatnot and figured it couldn't get much better than the HP universe. Original characters, familiar setting. I had a partner lined up for this story but unfortunately it fell through; that being said, I do already have a character designed and a general idea of a starting point, but for the most part this was a loosely-thought out story so I'm looking forward to expanding on it with any potential writing partners.

What I Want

Romance: First and foremost while this was intended to be a romance (hufflepuff x slytherin ), the story should come first and foremost. I'm not into forcing chemistry and I don't want it to be the only focus, and depending on the year/age of our characters there is plenty of room to let friendship (or tension) develop before that happens. I would also like us to play side characters to prevent the story from feeling flat and unrealistic. If romance does happen, the vibe is: slow burn, initially don't see eye to eye (because enemies to lovers is my jam).

Year: Open to anywhere from 4th-final year. Originally planned for 4th/5th year, still dumb teenagers figuring their preferences out, but old enough to start getting their first serious crushes. It's meant to be light hearted and along the same genre as the original books, and a way to test out writing different aged characters as I typically stick to writing adults. (Would like both characters to be in the same year so they can share some classes).

Starting Point: I mentioned before that I had planned on doing this with someone else, so I do have an idea of where to start. I'm not married to it by any means. Essentially both of our characters land themselves in detention along with a small group of other students, and get shipped off to the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid's usual "scare them straight by sending them to collect ingredients" method of punishment. While in the woods, they're separated into pairs (and of course, to inspire future interactions our characters are paired off together - the usual trope) and they either get lost/get pranked by other students/something or other happens that isn't life-threatening but certainly memorable and they end up being forced to spend some unhappy times together on their small adventure.
Plot/future interactions past that are completely open for discussion.

Timeline: I was thinking it could take place before the books but after Voldemort went into hiding, so he's still very much a threat but not an active one. We would still have professors/other characters from the books to use as side characters, but none of the same school mates. I am open to changing this if given a reason to.

A Bit About Me

I would consider myself an advanced writer and would like for you to be, too. I work, so I'll typically respond 1-3 times a week. I don't have a writing minimum or maximum but obviously no one-liners. Dialogue forward scenes often call for less while descriptive or action heavy scenes can call for a heavy chunk of writing.

My Character

Tallulah "Ula" S. Duncan

Hufflepuff | Year 4 | Female | 5'1" | 115lb | Half Blood

Best Subject(s): Herbology

Worst Subject(s): Transfiguration. She's also a lousy flyer.

Elective Courses: Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

Skills (magical): Is familiar with many plants and their magical properties.

Skills (non-magical): Some basic muggle skills such as cleaning, cooking, working a telephone, etc.

Appearance: Small and somewhat inconspicuous, Tallulah is an ordinary but pretty girl with a petite figure. She has a short, wavy bob of blonde hair and big green eyes, a round face and a small, upturned nose. When it's cold, which it often is, she likes to wear autumn-colored scarves (usually homemade) to add some personality to her uniform. Still a growing girl.

Distinguishing Features: Her short height.

Oddities: She has a soft spot for ugly and generally disliked creatures.

Personality: "Well, certainly not Slytherin. And no, not Ravenclaw. Ah, Gryffindor could do you well, but are you ready for it? A kind heart, undoubtedly, but I see a passion in you. A want to prove your worth, to prove you have what it takes... But something else, something you want more. Eh, you don't know? It's here in your head, everything so easy to see. Well, I'm not going to tell you! Hmm, you have potential, but be too soft and it will get in your way. Careful you don't let it...

HUFFLEPUFF!"

Kindness and cowardice don't always go hand in hand. Tallulah "Ula" Duncan has strong opinions and stands behind them, no matter what her Hufflepuff status might suggest. She generally has a nice and cheerful disposition, is family-oriented, and likes to keep her circle small. She feels the most accomplished when helping people (or things) and likes to do things by hand when she can. Time, patience and elbow grease! Food tastes better after hard work, something she learned from her mother.

History: Her father is a wizard and her mother, a squib. As a result Tallulah was enrolled in Muggle school and continued to attend even after she began to show signs of her magical talent, until she was eight. She didn't have any major tragedies in her childhood. The hardest thing for her was when she got old enough to understand the prejudice against her mother and how much of it there was. Eventually the judgement from the neighboring wizarding families resulted in them moving far away from both muggles and wizards alike. Her last couple years before her enrollment letter came were peaceful and she got to spend all of her time with her mother, little sister and her father (when he wasn't away for work). Although money has always been tight they're well off enough to not stress the extra cost of school books or the occasional expense. Tallulah, although very proud of her family, generally doesn't mention her mother's status in fear of history repeating itself.


Please be aware certain aspects of her profile are subject to change depending on the character age we go for. If she's older, her skill sets might grow, her personality could be stronger, and her physical appearance obviously might change in minor, puberty-related ways.

Pierce's Pretty Interest Check

I've been on a Harry Potter fanfiction reading rampage this last week, so the idea of a potterverse RP is horribly interesting to me. Especially something with possible romance and/or friendship between different houses maybe?

Malfunction -- The RP Where Having Superpowers Sucks (New Thread! Now with added friendship!)

Hmm... Maybe for this next scene we could go to a sort of group training thing where they're getting their abilities rated? Like judging them on how easily they're able to control it/how strong it is. Or something. I dunno. Seems like something the facility would want to know.

@SecretlyDiscord did edit their post to include the characters waking up with their collars on. That being said, I would also like more to work with. All I can post right now is my character going to bed and getting up like, "What's this?" so I feel like we need some actual development. Something we can work with other than just our characters talking to each other.

Maybe a first day of training with their abilities or something? To be honest, this roleplay is moving way too slowly plot wise. I'm going to end up losing interest if some stuff doesn't happen soon, and I don't want that to happen!

Sorry I've been a little busy last couple days! I'm hoping for Treue to get a post in so I can wrap up that mini-convo with Drei. I'll give it a minute and if not I'll post again anyway. :B

Malfunction -- The RP Where Having Superpowers Sucks (New Thread! Now with added friendship!)

Meep meep. What's up with every one?

Malfunction -- The RP Where Having Superpowers Sucks (New Thread! Now with added friendship!)

@DarkwolfX37 You're not coming across as rude, why would you be? :B

I think we essentially agree. We both think Henry should grow into it and we both want to know which guidelines are and aren't being followed, which I'm sure @SecretlyDiscord will clear up when they get a chance.

Also, I agree that his Weaknesses are pretty mild.

Shweet.

Just got an post up, figured someone ought'a address Drei's beat-up face. :p

Marlowe Tolfell

The whistle from Margaret made Marlowe go beet red. She was not a social person. She'd never hung out with friends after class, or joined clubs, or anything like that. She was also an only child. As a result, she got very awkward very quickly, but she'd always been far from bashful. Even when she'd had to strip down into their pajamas, aka. uniforms, she hadn't cared about being half-nude in front of the 39 other boys and girls and misunderstood monsters in the room, and she shouldn't have cared right then. And yet she was blushing. She decided right then and there that she hated feeling so shy and embarrassed; she also decided that she wouldn't let it happen again (she wasn't sure exactly how she was going to go about that, but she was determined). Maybe it was because of her inexperience with the male form? Or because he was a guy that she'd actually had a conversation with that went deeper than, "Nice to meet you," or "Do you have a spare pencil?"? She concluded that it must be a result of her tiredness, emotional and physical, from the events over the last few days. Thinking of things like class and home was making her feel even stranger. Had she really been in school less than a week ago? Somehow, it felt like it was a world away.

Rose-faced and stiff, Marlowe looked around for something or someone else to focus on, anything but the shirtless guy in front of her. But Margaret, yet again, made it worse.

"Lookin' good." She called, "Wouldn't you agree, ladies?"

Marlowe twitched when she was addressed and looked up at Margaret in tongue-tied mock horror.

"Wh-wh-wh..." It sounded more like she was breathing than talking, and she was hopeful that no one had actually heard her. Was it rude to not reply? Did she even care if it was rude? She shouldn't reply, she wouldn't, she definitely, definitely could not reply. Vincent's loud response saved her from having to finish the thought that she... well, hadn't even thought of yet.

“Stoppit,” He'd retorted, looking about half as red as she did and twice as strict.

Abashed, she leaped on the opportunity to get the hell out of that conversation. Vincent did the same and started questioning his sister (luckily, instead of continuing to talk to her). She didn't stop the topic from straying and looked around again to find something to distract her from her discomfort. Quickly, she settled on a bleeding boy who wasn't getting much attention. The joking had brought on a lighthearted atmosphere in their otherwise deplorable environment, and even though the guy didn't look bothered much by his cut up face, it brought her back to her senses.

"It doesn't hurt?" Marlowe asked, briefly wondering if he had abilities similar to her own. She scratched that idea when she saw that his skin was mostly clear of scars, unlike hers. But it didn't matter. "Use this." She said, holding out her old shirt.

It was more than a little dirty, and she was sure it didn't smell great 'cause of the fact that she'd been wearing it for more than a 24 hour period, in a hot train car, while sweaty and scared, but it would do the job.

"You'd be stupid not to stop the bleeding, even if it doesn't bother you."
