Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

Why is it that the website goes down at the worst possible times? Did the whole accepting thing, anyway, while I was waiting:

@TheMaster99
– LUTHER CUNNINGHAM is accepted! I really like that he can use muggle combat as well, it's quite refreshing! I hope I answered your question in nationality though – so if you could choose whether he's British or German at some point? Also, repentant Death Eater <3

@Jig
– ALBERT ALDENBERG is accepted! Man, that picture is dapper as heck! Plus, old-fashioned duelists sticking to the rules are super cool! Also, I'm guessing that his wand reflects his personality? Neat!
– DAVID HOWELL is accepted! D'aww, he's precious! I wasn't expecting a seer (totally forgot about it) and I also like the idea that he's not so good at magic so he just makes it up as he goes – 'Bluff Magic' seems pretty original!

@Doused
– TANYA PIETERS is accepted! OHMYGOSHSOCUTE– Ahem. She's an interesting character, especially being a Muggleborn in Slytherin and her unique spell-casting style. Loved the part about growing her hair out when she was younger to climb out her bedroom.

@Corsair
– JIA SHANG is accepted! She seems awesome as heck, and her hard-working nature reminds me of McGonagall which instantly makes her a 10/10 badass. I'm really interested in the Mysterium Cabali – maybe we (or you, heheheh) could bring them in for a subplot at one point?

Adored all the character sheets, guys!

Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

@Jig - I was originally going to have an absolute ban on America because Europe isn't as well-represented in RP, but I'm soooo glad it seems everyone's going for a whole cast of different nationalities :D

@Kirah - Somewhere between the ages of 27-30, I was thinking, since my other character's going to be late thirties/early forties!

On a side note, guess who lost the nearly-complete OOC typed up last night? Yep. I'm working on that for a bit, then I'll switch to accepting folk.

Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

By nationality I was just listing those I'd accept - basically, British, any other European/Commonwealth Country, rarely American/Other. Sorry it wasn't clear -- I blame writing it at 11 at night!

Tempted to do this RP and bring in an older version of Kyle.

You should, Kirah. Do eeeet. (I'm bringing in Siobhan for Character #2.)

Also, I'll fully check over the character sheets later to accept them, but I can say they're looking good for just a skim!

Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

Added a character sheet template so anyone interested can work on their character beforehand! G'night, for now!

Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

Yep! I'll be working on it for the rest of tonight and over tomorrow (going to bed soon), but it should be up 24 hrs from now at the latest.

Where do the Ashes spring from?

It's sort of a fractured group from the Order that weren't satisfied with the pacifistic approach the OoTP but didn't have enough members until the Order fell.

Aw, so no Chosen One Neville Longbottom coming out of nowhere to save the day?
What a shame.

No movie-verse beautiful transformation to see ;w; It's the only part I feel honestly bad about.

More people who're interested \o/

Medieval Pokemon RP - Redux

I made a second character that's sort-of a villain. Decided against going for a legendary, too.

Ell

NAME: Ellory Knotheart – "Ell"
AGE: 31
GENDER: Female
ALLEGIANCE: Phoenixis currently but ultimately to whoever can pay the most for her services.

WEAPON: Serrated knife (rarely), rope and pre-planned traps otherwise.

---

FERAL FORM: Marowak
MOVESET: Echoed Voice, Earthquake, Sandstorm, Substitute

Ell's Marowak form is like her human one: taller than average, strong, and ultimately rough-looking. Her most distinguishing feature in this form is the skull mask – not that of her own species but instead a Tauros – is split in half, just as the one she wears in her regular human form is. While her fur is only a few shades darker than usual, it is enough to set her apart as 'not normal' and make her easily recognisable as a morph; however, it is marred with scars and bites from various battles and in different stages of healing.

If she is forced into this form as a last-ditch attempt to save her own life, her typically aggressive, cautious fighting style flies out the window and is replaced with a jumpy, defensive one in which she will use all of her available abilities to escape rather than continue her hunt. In general, however, she tries to keep her status as a morph hidden.

---

APPEARANCE:
Ell herself stands at roughly 6'0", though it is difficult to tell through the tribal decorations she wears that add to her already impressive height. She walks with an impeccable posture, one of a noblewoman, and it is only when she is stalking her prey or purposefully trying to hide that it is broken – she seems proud of it, somehow. With dark, tan skin, she is easily associated with the warmest, sunniest regions of Phoenixis and is definitely someone who has spent most of her life working outdoors from the callouses on her hands. Her tattoos, drawn in black ink that has faded to brown over time, are of random, swirling runes and one which particularly resembles the sigil of an ancient, noble house.

As a whole, her outfit is designed to blend in with the vibrant colours of the forest with protective leathers stained green and beige and beads of many colours tied up in her hair. Her gold jewellery is the real deal and obviously expensive, but it is often seen with a liberal coating of dirt and mud as is every other part of her body. Adorned to her belt are the bones of various creatures, mostly Morphs but other impressive kills, too, like a feather from each of the legendary birds owned by enemy noble houses. It gives normal Pokemon even more of an excuse to avoid and distrust her.

PERSONALITY:
Ell prides her cunning more than anything, born out of her own self-interest in staying alive – she devoutly follows her personal code of do not trust and lie, lie, lie as a result, and has become quite skilled at it. Unsurprisingly, she is prone to bouts of loneliness as letting nobody get near her for long periods of time (though they would have no reason to, given her appearance) does very little to stave off the need for normal human interaction; however, she is tough and rarely, if ever, complains.

Still, surviving in the most treacherous environments is impossible without asking for some help. Ell can be very charismatic and is a good, clear speaker, justifying anything and everything even if she does not believe in it, like her current lifestyle. It has some crossover with her own flaw of deluding herself into thinking that Morphs deserve to be tried under the law despite being one herself.

HISTORY:
Ellory was born to the noble house Knotheart, once respected but now considered a disgrace with an illegitimate child ruling as heir over his shrinking territory. Ell was the official heir, at one point; however, customs dictated that she - as a female and a morph (a well-kept secret by her common mother) could not take over after her father's death. Rather than sit around as a damsel in distress, Ell left to forge her own path out in the wilds, becoming a jack of all trades when it came to exploring, fighting and, naturally, hunting.

Despite being a Morph herself, she spent quite a few years chasing down the more troublesome ones for the small villages that could do little about them. Staying away from the large cities (where she would almost certainly be caught), she acquired quite a reputation for completing any job she was given.

Only three years ago, a hunt went sour as she came face to face with a ghost Morph, a Haunter in a graveyard, and was confronted by a whole host of fearsome psychic attacks. Ell's life was saved by a young Cubone, only recently orphaned (from what she could tell). While it was her first failed job, she arguably got something more precious out of it; a travelling companion to protect as if it were her own.

She thinks she's going native.

COMPANION:

NAME: Cubone, 'Little Bit'

I'll add it to the original post as an option, deffo! It's still an interest check, after all ^^

Finite Incantatum [AU Harry Potter RP]

Mhm, I could do that if enough people preferred it; however, I think it would have to be set maybe a decade or so later than it is right now to make sense. It shouldn't be that hard though to continue with the original plan though, since instead the events of Philosopher's Stone and beyond would be replaced by just a few events important to the war/rebellion.
