Just sending word out to the usual suspects, in case they don't troll the interest checks and haven't seen my thread.

I'm not going to lie, I didn't have much plot in mind when I posted the thread, but since you asked about it, I decided I wanted to give you an answer and I've come up with one I'm actually really excited about.

Sure thing, here we go:

A) Nah, you'll be fine, I think. If someone has to correct you, it's not the end of the world. As long as you make the effort to check the wiki before talking about something too in depth.

B) Yeah, I've been working with another old RP partner of mine. Right now I have a few plot threads, including a teacher character who is going to be making a greater effort than anyone has before her to bring muggle born witches and wizards to school. There's going to be a push from certain families to shun those students, a lot of conflict will be had in this way. I want to point out that the "pureblood" attitude won't be sequestered to Slytherins here. This is a time where wizards are actively hated by muggles who still believe in their existence, people from muggle families are not well liked by anyone. I hope we have a good mix of students from wizard families, and from muggle families.

The major plot involves non-human creatures sort of rising up. I will need some willing victims, if there are any, PM me so we can get this going secret like. If there aren't any, be warned that you might be an unwilling victim. Don't worry, the worst of what will happen to students will happen to NPCs.

C) Most people will have to, yes. I'm only going to let teacher roles go to people I trust.

D) That's up to the players, and how they choose to have their characters interact. I hadn't decided if I'm going to put everyone in the same year or not. I think it's probably best, though.

Here's something that people might find useful if they want to play a character from a pureblood family. The list is from the 30's, so there would be other names, but these ones we know for sure, and there's plenty of them.

The good thing about this timeline is that it's far enough out of the way that we don't have to worry about stepping on toes.

@Teddyinahat You might, I just mean that I will assign your wand.

Unless you use an heirloom wand, I guess, but we all know heirloom wands are worse than bonded wands.

Also, I wanna note for you and everyone else, that homeschooling before reaching Hogwarts is not uncommon. And furthermore, richer pureblood families also likely tutor their children on dueling, to help them protect family honor.

Alright, you are aware, I hope, that this is an inherently dark sided family, yes?

EDIT: They may well not view themselves this way, but it's how many will see them.

I hope that you can make a character who is their own person, and not just a definition of the family. Feel free to put up a CS.

I'm not really a fan of assassin-related groups. They tend to make for characters who are unnecessarily edgy and badass, usually disproportionately so compared to the rest of the characters. It's too often played up as an untouchable and existentially frightening group whose name is feared above all others. That just really puts me off in an RP, because it kind of puts your character above the rest in certain ways.

Either A) your character will be just way too good in combat related scenarios or B) they won't be, and all of that ancient house stuff was nonsense.

If you can work with the same idea without putting them up too much, give it a shot and show me a CS.

I don't really know. I just read through and saw that you didn't have a plan for one of your color groups.

I have put in some cursory reading of the rest of the OOC thread, to see what sort of play is going on. I really don't know yet.

The site works both ways, I think you can go ahead and make one, though making one early runs the risk of being asked to make adjustments if anything new is decided.
