Donovan Cole Dunbar | 13 | Gryffindor Student

Wand: 12" Dragon Heartstring
Elective Studies: Arithmancy, Ancient Runes & Divination

Bio: Donovan was born to Muggleborn Daniel Dunbar and Pureblood Leora Ross, making him a Halfblood. His father has a shop in the Muggle city of Bath, and his mother comes from old money in the Scottish Highlands. He has a younger brother, Desmond, who is not yet old enough to start Hogwarts, though he is capable of magic. Donovan is sometimes accused of being a Ravenclaw due to his tendency to study random spells without it being assigned as homework, and he is more likely to be found in the common room or library reading than talking with his friends. Now in his third year Donovan has begun dabbling in Spell Theory, and while he remains uncertain he will ever be able to create a spell, he's fairly confident he may be able to alter one. This latest quest for knowledge has left Donovan on a library binge and out of contact with his friends.

Cody James Frost | 14 | Gryffindor Student

Wand: 10" Dragon Heartstring
Elective Studies: Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes & Divination

Bio: Born to Muggle parents, Cody is the first wizard in the family. He was always fairly talented with his magic, using it wandlessly for a while before learning of Hogwarts. Mostly he used it for making flowers bloom, turning out lights, or creating sparks. He was an only child, but with their son moving away to Hogwarts for most of the year his parents decided they could manage another and now his mother his pregnant again. Cody is extremely resentful of his parents, thinking them strict and unloving, and with his 'replacement' on the way all hope of reconciling is dim. Cody throws himself into his social life, making friends and hanging out with them all hours of the day. He puts minimal effort into school work, only interested in the practical applications of spells.

September 1, 1992
King's Cross Station, Platform 9³/₄

Cody Frost

"It's fine, Mum, just go." Cody said, waving his parents off with an annoyed look. His mum was cramping, or something, he wasn't actually paying attention to what she was saying, so his dad was going to take her home. Not that they'd have stayed anyway, they dropped him off at the station early and left. It was routine now. He left them without saying goodbye, barely registering the sound of car doors shutting behind him as his parents drove off.

Cody was looking for his friends, and while the platform had plenty of the out of place owl cages, wizard robes, and oddly colored cauldrons, he couldn't spot them among the Muggle and Wizard crowds. With a discrete flick of his wand a trolley rolled over to him, allowing him to place his twin trunks on it. One contained his many school books and equipment while the other had clothes, parchment, and other trinkets. They weren't very heavy, but he'd rather have his hands free than carry them around.

Cassius, a black and white cat, now three years old, hopped up the trolley to sit atop the trunks. "Let's go Cass, I know you miss them." Cody said grudgingly. He may own the cat, but in the end Cassius always ended up spending time with everyone in Gryffindor except his owner.

He passed through the barrier easily, not even flinching as he walked straight into a wall and out the other side. Platform 9³/₄ was just as full as the rest of the station, only there were no Muggles here. Recognizing the familiar mop of hair in the window of a compartment he just passed, Cody spelled his trunks to float after him, Cassius leaping down to run ahead of him. Up into the train and down the hall he quickly found the place his friend had claimed. "Hey Donny!" He cried, grinning.

Donovan Dunbar

Donovan sighed, looking up from his book to give the intruder a glare. "Cody, you know-"

But Cody interrupted, laughing, "You hate that nickname, yeah, but that just makes it all the better to tease you with." He fell into the seat opposite Donovan unceremoniously. Eyes immediately looking outside at the still full platform. "Seen the girls yet?"

"No." Donovan said shortly, already reading more of his book and ignoring Cody.

Donovan was his usual disheveled self, too busy reading to straighten up his appearance. Cody on the other hand was naturally well put together. His hair was a bit messy, but he liked it that way. Neither boys knew quite why they were friends, Cody was outgoing and Donovan was definitely not. Donovan was well read, and Cody couldn't care less about books. They were very different people and while they didn't hate each other they didn't exactly have much in common, so it was no surprise that the compartment fell into silence as they waited on the girls.

Many Interest Checks :P

I'm still kind of new to this site, not to roleplaying mind, but that just means a lot of the distinctions and terms on this site go over my head. I stuck to casual because I avoid one liners, but I'm not writing entire chapters either so I avoided advanced. I write as much as I need to for my intent, but I don't like to write too much because I want to have time for other characters to react. That said, if there's a scene where I'm on my lonesome or I'm doing a flashback or anything that others won't want to reply to, I will write more until I get to a point where a reply would fit.

And I'm sorry, but my inbox has a good many pms and I can only juggle so many at a time. I'll pm you if a space opens and I'll pop a post here when I'm not so full. Terribly sorry! Until then feel free to keep messaging me, one of the roleplays might not stick and I'll already have your suggestions to look at if that happens! Thanks so much though!

Many Interest Checks :P

Oh dear, where to begin? Okay, I'm a bit rusty so bear with me! I'm a fan of many things, so we've got a lot of option!

- Harry Potter: Witches! Wizards! Spells! DOBBY! Harry Potter is brilliant and I'm willing to dabble in all the things! Want to start as first years and work our way through to seventh year? Beyond? We can go post-Hogwarts if you like! But who needs Hogwarts? We can do Durmstrang! Or Beauxbatons! Or some random non-canon school. I'm willing to bend and break the canon if that's what you want.

- Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit: I love Lord of the Rings, it's a great setting and there's a lot of fun we can have with it! Again, I'm willing to break canon if you like!

- Animorphs: Am I the only one who adored these books as a kid? How cool would it be to turn into an animal!? That's hella rad you guys! And an alien invasion conspiracy?! Oh my god! That said I never read all the books and it's been some years... I can brush up though!

- Avatar the Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra: Um, yes? This universe is insane! I want it all!

- X-Men: Oh I love a good mutant story! Living in fear, hiding away in secret, terrified of being caught out as a mutant! Captured, placed in a mutant research lab or holding prison! Jailbreak! FIGHT THE POWER! Revolution! GLORIOUS UPRISING! BOW PUNY HUMANS BEFORE MY MIGHT! MUAHAHAHAHAHA... oh, um, I mean peace and tolerance yay!

- Dragon Age: Darkspawn, Mage War, Inquisition! Things are a happenin' and we should definitely get stuck in!

- Mass Effect: Okay, I do like this universe, but I haven't got the slightest idea what to do with it. Maybe something post-Reapers? Eh, hit me up with suggestions!

- Elder Scrolls: So I didn't play Oblivion or Morrowind or the Online game, but I did play like half of Skyrim, does that count? :P Either way it's great and fun and many possibilities!

- World of Warcraft: I don't really play anymore, but I used to be the biggest lore nerd and I loved it! So it's a little crazy, maybe a lot, but I'm totally willing to wreak even more havoc and devastation across Azeroth than it's already had. Or, you know, save it. :)

- Fallout: All about that wasteland! Let's go bring order to these idiots! Who worships a bomb? Nutjobs.

- Star Wars: This universe gets very complicated very quickly, try not to make my brain explode! Still, it's very interesting, lots to meddle with, lots to see, potentially very fun!

- Avatar: Not exploding with ideas for this one, but it could be cool. Having two bodies? One of them an alien? Neat! Fancy science gizmo and oh my god this horse is my friend and I know 'cause WE HAVE MADE THE BOND! I want a bond, someone bond me!

- Stargate: Potential. Lot of potential. Definitely going to need someone who knows more about this universe than I do though.

- Teen Wolf: My latest obsession and binge! Nothing I love more than the supernatural! And horror! Bodies EVERYWHERE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Let's get our dramatic angst on!

- Walking Dead: Very quickly getting tired of this series' characters. They are not very nice human beings anymore. Well, I say that but I only watched like two episodes of season five. Up until then they were alright. Ish. Emphasis on that ish. Would be fun though, who doesn't like a zombie apocalypse?

- The 100: This show is kind of my baby? They are my children and I am very upset so many are dead! Stupid Grounders! Stupid Mount Weather! Stupid Ark! How dare they kill my babies!

- The 4400: Getting an x-men vibe? Me too, but this is also good! Yay superpowers! And creepiness! Yaaaaaay!

[EDIT - 11/6/2015]

EVEN MORE FANDOM!

- Terra Nova: Future tech in a prehistoric setting? YES! Dinos are fab!

- Arrowverse: I haven't finished Arrow, haven't seen Constantine, or the other associated shows I can't even think of right now, but I've seen all of the Flash and I enjoy the universe a lot! I'd be willing to do something here.

- Sense8: Fantastic show! Would love to play around there with fancy linked brains and all. Sounds like an exciting world.

- Star-Crossed: Human-ish aliens? Not too realistic, but super cool nonetheless! I want glowy water tattoos!

- Glee: Normal human high school has never been so exciting! Song! Dance! DRAMA EVERYWHERE!

Alright, that's the fandoms out of the way, and I'd be willing to do more than what's listed if you come to me with a good idea in a fandom I know, but for now we move on to other settings!

- Apocalypse: As in the world is ending right now due to something. Could be zombies, could be war, could be unforeseen tectonic shifting, alien invasion maybe? Whatever the case I love a good survivor story!

- Post-Apocalypse: Rebuilding the world from ruins? Uh, yes please? Sounds fantastic!

- Fantasy: Elves and Dwarves and MAGIC! YAAAAAS BABY!

- Supernatural: If any of my preferences could be described as a fetish, it would be this. Vampires? Yes. Werewhatevers? YES. Witches? Warlocks? YAS! Ghosts? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

- Colonial: Yes to both types, the settling the New World one and the settling a literal other planet in the Space Age.

Umm... anything else? Oh! Characters!

I usually play guys, but I can do girls as needed. My characters are usually bisexual, allowing for MxF, MxM, and FxF. I should also mention I don't think I'm very good at writing canon characters? I just always feel like I can't do them justice since I didn't create them, so I prefer to just fill the world with OCs, but that doesn't mean I can't have a good go if you like! Oh, and no erotica, sorry but I'm just not into it. Romance is fine, but it isn't my focus.

OH! WAIT WAIT! BEFORE I FINISH! Crossovers! TOTALLY COOL! We can do those, yes that sounds fantastic! AND ALTERNATE UNIVERSES! Yas baby, we can jack that timeline right up!

Well, that was a lot of fun to write, hopefully it isn't too nonsensical and you guys can understand it. Thanks for reading! This is pretty much a permanent interest check, I'm pretty much always up for these, and if I'm not I'll be sure to let you know!

Jurassic World

S'alright, I kind of lost motivation here without realizing it. I was checking every day for a post, but I forgot why I was checking or what the rp was even about. It just kind of became habit, it's been so long I can't think of anything I'd wanted to do anyways.

Jurassic World

I imagine you're right, the T-Rex would've hunted like a one man lioness squad, separating out the weak, but I also think just standing there in a group and letting him march up to you would've been a terrible idea.

I was going to wait for chrono to post, but I might just go again in a minute.

@PerseusArchean

On second thought, kind of busy right now, but maybe later I'll post.

Jurassic World

Either that or a lever I would think. A lever might be good for emergencies you know, but maybe the designers went for the security approach? Plus if the T-Rex pushed the lever that's game over so probably a code yeah.

Jurassic World

Yay!

Jurassic World

Come on peoples! Post!
