Character Name: Evelyn Reed
Age: 39
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: An enigmatic woman, Evelyn often comes across as ominous. Yet, despite her haunting air, she is actually quite gentle. Warm and kind, she cares deeply about her students and staff. Many believe her daunting facade arises from the fact that she often shows few emotions. Though, when she does, you're either terrified or overjoyed.
Bio: Evelyn was an unplanned child between her two magical parents who, at the time, were just lovers. Her parents, marrying only for their child, were hardly in love. It was their shared lust for knowledge that kept them together. However, it was the dark arts that interested them the most. Curses and forbidden magics is what consumed their lives. Unfortunately, the more they studied, the further removed from reality they became until finally they were shadows of their original selves. When Evelyn was 15 her parents had finally gone mad and attacked her when she returned from school. Barely keeping her parents spells at bay, they finally turned on each other. By the end of the night, the two had managed to kill one another, leaving Evelyn without parents.
After her parents murdered each other, Evelyn stayed with her Transfiguration professor, a sickly woman named Casey Barr, and her muggle husband, Morgan Barr. Until then, Evelyn hadn't had the strongest of grades. Her parents would reprimand her for doing poorly but it never changed anything. She simply didn't enjoy having to perform magic just to please her professors. However, she discovered her true love for magic while living with the Barrs. They had made magic more than just a task or a grade, they made it their way of life. More importantly, they made it fun. Evelyn not only found herself enjoying her classes more but she even began to make friends. It was the first time Evelyn really enjoyed being alive.
As Evelyn became a woman, she decided to follow in the Barr's footsteps and become a professor at the Salem Academy of Magical Arts. When she did, she chose to teach Transfiguration in light of Casey Barr and despite her exceptional skill in the defense against the dark arts thanks to her parents. Evelyn's skill, as well as unique personality, won her the favor of much of the staff. Her students feared her, but in a thrilling way that kept them wanting more.
By now, Casey Barr was the deputy headmistress. However, her illness was finally getting the best of her so she stepped down. The headmaster at the time, Sidney Bradford, selected Evelyn to be the new headmistress. Several people were upset, saying he picked her only because she was so close to Mrs. Barr. While this may have been a factor, Sydney recognized Evelyn's potential. Giving her the position would only expedite her growth, turning her into one of the best Witches Salem had ever seen. It wasn't long until everyone knew how right he was. Fifteen years later, Sidney retired, leaving Evelyn as the new Headmistress of Salem.
Evelyn was just as unsure about her being chosen for Deputy Headmistress as anyone else. However, wanting to honor Casey's name, she did her duty as best as she could. In fact, she had never struggled so hard with her workload in her life. At first, she spent most of her energy assisting Sydney whenever he needed. Though, she found herself worn out and unable to teach as well as she once did. When she finally became aware of this, she directed her energy toward her classes, trying to make up for her previous shortcomings. However, this lead to her being unable to perform the tasks presented to her by the headmaster. She struggled to find a balance between the two until finally she couldn't take it anymore. She argued with Sydney saying that she was too young for the position and was upset that he unfairly chose her over many others who would have filled the position perfectly. She went as far to say that she was going to renounce her position until finally Casey Barr calmed her. She explained Sydney's reason for choosing her and told her that it was going to be difficult for her. However, everyone believed in her and knew she was capable.
And so Evelyn tried one more time, steeling herself to the challenges that she faced. She was determined to succeed. She was determined to show that Sidney had made the right choice, to show that the Barr family was an extraordinary one, to show that her parents hadn't scarred her, and most importantly, to show herself that she could do whatever she wanted. In the end, her efforts payed off. Thus, Evelyn is the woman she is today.
Skills:
Strengths- Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, wordless spells, wandless spells, general knowledge of most magical topics.
Weaknesses- Muggle studies (most, if not all, of her time is spent with magical people. Thus, she often forgets to keep up with Muggle Technologies and cultures), History of Magic and Ancient Ruins (While Evelyn understands the importance of knowing the past, she is a very here-and-now type of person and thus leaves these subjects to others), Divination (Evelyn isn't even sure how useful this subject is), and Flying (Flying is a big no for Evelyn... its just not her fancy).

I wonder what timezone you live in!
Anywho, I look forward to it. Actually, to take the burden off you, I've been considering NPCs to fill the other slots. As in, one of us makes an NPC for, I don't know, the nurse but it's able to be controlled by everyone so long as we keep to the character?
EG:Name: Helen FlickswitchOccupation: School nurseAppearance: A buxom, rounded woman in her late sixties, with grey hair and thick spectacles that shrink her cold, dark green eyes. Her thin lips are always pressed into a scowl, and she wears a grey pinafore usually with odd stains on it. Personality: Strict and rough, Helen likes to believe that the best way to stop a student from getting hurt is to hurt them more in the healing process. She's an admirable nurse, knowing a cure for almost everything, but unfortunately lacks the subtlety and delicate hands required by a healer. At least she gives you some sweets afterwards and time to recover from the recovery in the Medical Wing!
Because we have a lot of spaces and not a lot of people, and it'd be a darn shame to start the RP without having a full cast at least.
Let's see... I live in New York so my time zone would be EST (-0500). Also, I was planning on doing something like that with many, if not all, of the other staff positions. I had mentioned it somewhere stating that if someone new came along and wanted to take that position, I'd simply have something happen where the other person left and the new person was their replacement. I indeed asked for help with this and it would be amazing if I received it. :)
@Rumiko Ohara- accepted.
@Memories- I still dont quite fully understand but it sounds reallyyyy cool.
@Everyone else- I shall begin the creation of my characters!
EDIT: Oh, I just found the Salem Witches' Institute page... LOL
Are we expecting others or do we just want more than 4 peoples?
Daemyn, yes there will be house elves.
Memories, what am I looking at? Lol. I am so curious...
Also, sorry I havent been able to get my characters in today. I promise to have them in by the morning and the IC up by the evening, that way I can have this started by the time I leave on Thursday.

Dont feel obliged to make a Gladium simply because there is none. I can easily fill the spot with my own character.
EDIT: Also, I know it sucks, but I'm going away on Thursday and won't be back until next Wednesday. I will try to get on via mobile as much as I can but it definitely won't be as often. =(

betelgeuse, you know you're accepted. :)
I moved around a bunch of the accepted applications. I have sorted the students into their houses under the description of the houses. Furthermore, under the accepted characters it now lists your character, house/position, and your username.
We currently have no Gladium students and no head for the Viserious House, if anyone wants to grab the position.
If RumikoOhara doesn't show up soon, would someone mind helping me Co-GM this? I'm worried about doing it alone as my HP-lore isn't as tight as everyone else's. =S

Thanks Daemyn, Ill add that link to the first page!
Yes, adding a wand section is actually quite important. >< Though, I dont know about making it a requirement due to the fact that a bunch of people already submitted (and I have accepted) their apps. If anyone really wants to add a wand section to their application they may go back and edit it.
Thats so odd... I was literally looking at that image yesterday on deviant art... Anyways, accepted. Im excited to see how you'll interact with the others.
