Harry Potter - Life Goes On (OOC)

[MrsBrisbee]

-An owl lands before you, carrying a letter addressed to you in shimmering emerald ink. The Hogwarts Crest seals the envelope. Your heart hammers as you rip the envelope open and remove the parchment from inside.-

The Parchment Reads:

Congratulations! You have successfully completed your final year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is your Certificate of Accomplishment.

N.E.W.T. Scores: (Note that not all students take these and you do not need to pass them in order to successfully complete Hogwarts training, they just help towards your chosen career path)

Passing Grades:
O - Outstanding
E - Exceeds Expectations
A - Acceptable

Failing Grades:
P - Poor
D - Dreadful
T - Troll

List of advisable career options:


A second parchment carries the Hogwarts crest at the top and is a certificate of accomplishment with your name printed along the top.

Every student who has ever graduated from Hogwarts receives a letter such as these. It is entirely up to the recipient how they decide to move forward with their life. The possibilities are endless and of course there are bumps in the road of life, even to that of a witch or wizard.

Setting:
Twenty years have passed since the fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort and things in the wizarding world have become bright and optimistic. Harry Potter has gone on to become one of the greatest Auror’s since Mad-Eye Moody. His friends have also moved on with their lives. A few short rumors have been heard about a possible down fall, but for now those rumors are being squished before they get far enough to cause any real damage. The current Minister of Magic is Warren Baldersbee after the retirement of Kingsley Shackelbolt.


The current plot is a little loose, but I threw in a couple possible plot twists for the future. I want this to be an interactive rp, which means I want everybody to come up with a little bit of something for the plot line. We can go any way with it, dark and twisted, happy fantasy, etc. The only difference is that nobody is school age, meaning that we have a much larger world to explore and work with.

Rules - I’ll keep this part short and sweet.

- All characters must be out of school. Younger characters can be NPC’d if they are needed.
- Characters can be older and established already in a job, as long as they are out of school, you can make them as old as you’d like them to be.
- I’m going to ask that nobody make any of the main Cannon’s from the book, too much trouble comes with that. I’m okay with extended Cannon’s to an extent, ask before you make a CS for them.
- Please contribute. I hate being the only person willing to come up with ideas, all I ask is that you put them out there.
- I like to establish a two post rule, meaning the same person can not post a second time until at least two different people have posted. This keeps people from taking a two person conversation and stretching it for four pages while everybody else is asleep.
- for now I’d like to keep specialty magic to a minimum, such as being an illegal animagus. Same with half-breeds such as half-giant or half-veela. One or two max, but too many and it becomes difficult to keep it all straight.

That’s all I can think of, if I’ve left anything out please let me know.

I do work a full time job so it’s difficult for me to be here all the time, so I ask that everybody work together to make sure the rules are followed and that everybody is having a good time. I’ll check in as often as I possibly can.

Short Job Description:
Kleo prepares drinks, baked goods and other small things around the bar and inn. She sometimes keeps the rooms above clean and organized.
Do you enjoy your job? No. Kleo wanted to do something more meaningful with her life. Though she doesn’t take a roof over her head for granted. She hopes to find a better job with time.

Short Character History:
Kleo was born to a muggle mother with very little money. Still, the two did what they could to survive, on more than one occasion they found themselves living in the back seat of an old car that her father had left the pair. It was the only thing he had left behind, besides his unborn daughter of course. The man was a very well known and high figure in the wizarding world. His indiscretions with the muggle woman were meant to be brief, but the unexpected news of her pregnancy caused him to cut off all contact with the two of them. The car was meant as a peace offering, knowing that it was a muggles means of transportation. Kleo’s mother was not aware of the man’s abilities, nor was she aware of his family in the wizarding world, believing that he would propose once she announced the happy news, she fell into a deep depression at his abandonment. The only thing that kept her going was Kleo, her little baby.

Kleo grew up taking care of her mother, skipping over her childhood because of it. She knew her mother felt guilty for this, but Kleo showed no signs of remorse. As she grew older she began questioning her father‘s identity, but her mother couldn‘t answer all of her questions. She discovered her aptitude for the odd occurances, when the two were starving they always managed to find food, and water as if by magic. Her acceptance to Hogwarts had been something of a surprise, especially do to the unusual method of delivery. She almost denied her acceptance, for fear that her mother wouldn’t be able to cope without her but it was her mother who insisted the young girl go to school and to make her proud. She did just that, doing well in most of her classes and finding that she loved having friends. At sixteen her mother died of pneumonia leaving Kleo with no known family. It was her Charms teacher that looked into her family history and in some way discovered the truth. She knew who her father was, at last and had so many questions. She found him after finishing Hogwarts with decent marks on her NEWTs, a part of her hoping that he would accept her into his life. He did not accept her, in fact he turned her away completely stating that she was nothing more than a liar and home wrecker. With no place to go, Kleo found herself at the Leaky Cauldron, with no money for a room she offered to work in exchange for a room. It took a little bit of coaxing but Tom finally agreed to keep the girl. He never acknowledges her as ’Kleo’ but only as ’girl’ or ’that girl’.

Job Title:
Top Journalist
Job Location:
Daily Prophet
Short Job Description:
Journalists write columns for the Daily Prophet, the top newspaper in the wizarding world. It is a highly recognized newspaper and is read by many everywhere. The top journalist gets more columns and has the best stories to add to the paper.
Short Character History:
Logan, like any other witch or wizard, started out at Hogwarts when he was 11 years old. The sorting hat put him in the Ravenclaw house due to his high intelligence. Not only that, he is very witty and clever. Logan is a muggle-born wizard and was under constant scrutiny by some of the Slytherins at the school. To take his mind off of the bullying, he devoted all of his time to studying and making perfect grades. He was one of the smartest kids in his year and was basically a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. Every class had that one Know-It-All and it was Logan. During his last two years of school, he studied the Quidditch team and wanted to see what it was like to play. It would also prove to the other kids that he wasn't just a book worm. He tried out and became the Keeper (The one who defends the hoops) of his team for the remaining two years. Logan received recognition from this and the constant harassment ended. After he graduated from Hogwarts, he went on to become a hardcore Journalist for the Daily Prophet, outmatching the notorious Rita Skeeter. He's more liked than she was and gets information the right way, instead of using Rita's unethical ways. Even though Defense Against the Dark Arts was his best class, he felt his calling was writing instead of being an Auror.

Career-
Job Title: Writer
Job Location: His house
Short Job Description: He writes novels, the most popular being 'An apocalypse with JAM in it'. As his books about wizardry can be taken as fantasy to muggles he can publish his books out to a broader audience. About 25% of his books are based in the muggle world the others being based in either a made up world or the wizarding world.
Do you enjoy your job?: Guess so, it pays the bills.

Short Character History: Yahtzee was born in Scotland but was quickly moved to England when he could be. It's not that his parents had anything against Scotland its just that they were from England and having a child with a Scottish accent while you have an English one could get a bit suspicious if you know what I mean. His father wanted to get him into wand-making from a young age but dear old Yahtzee was just no good at it! He took to writing instead and wrote rather imaginative stories for his age. Of course his grammar and spelling was awful, he had never been to school so what could you expect? Nevertheless as time went on his writing skills grew better. He was particularly fond of Defense Against the Dark Arts at school, he liked to learn about all the nasty things in the world and how to defend yourself against them.

When he left school he didn't really know what to do. At one point he got a job in a muggle pub but one bar fight later he found himself back at the wizarding world. He knew he was good at writing and so he wrote his first novel 'Reservoir Ducks' which was promptly published in both the Wizarding world and the Muggle world. The only difference between the books is that in the Wizarding version they use wands and in the Muggle version they use guns.

Do you enjoy your job? Immensely

Short Character History: Dimitri, like any other witch or wizard, started out at Hogwarts when he was 11 years old. The sorting hat placed him in Ravenclaw for his sense of independence, this combined with his sarcastically witty nature and high intelligence is what confirmed the hat's decision. Demi is a muggle-born wizard and was under constant scrutiny by some of the Slytherins at the school, along with everyone else like him and half bloods. He spent most of his time alone writing about fantastical adventures and other nonsense, or speaking with some of the lesser known spirits that wandered the halls like burned Beatrice, a witch that was traveling through Salem before she died. He rarely spoke in class unless he was prompted by the professor or giving a presentation. During his last year, he began truly delving into his passion for writing, creating wondrous worlds and interesting characters that draw the reader in. It was only three weeks after graduating from Hogwarts that his first book, and the first of the "Wolf coven" series, "Moonlit encounter" was published. Within a year, he had sold over seventy-thousand copies. He has since focused on his writing and has published ten books, six being part of the "Wolf Coven" series and four being independent novellas.

Career-
Job Title: Dragon Breeder
Job Location: Malone Clan Breeding, Cork, Ireland
Short Job Description: Breeding, caring for, protecting, distributing to various reserves, and rescuing dragons of all species.
Do you enjoy your job? Mitch loves his job.

Short Character History: The Malones have been breeding dragons in their secret dragon farm for centuries. Mitch's great-grandfather made them legitimate when he struck a deal with the Ministry and got the Clan certified to breed dragons. The Malone Clan devoted their entire lives to the breeding and most become Master Dragon Breeders by the age of sixteen. Mitch grew up learning the family trade before he was ever accepted into Hogwarts. This was why he excelled in classes such as Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, and other classes related to the family business. The few, rare witches and wizards who have actually been to the Malone Dragon Sanctuary and seen their techniques up close tell strange stories about the Malones. They say the dragons respond to them as if they were one of their own. The Malones dismiss these stories, saying that they are only that good at dragon breeding is because their family have been at it for so long. So once Mitch got to Hogwarts, a few people already knew his family name and its reputation. This made it easy enough to make friends and Mitch had a good tenure at the school. He graduated on schedule and returned home to take his place in family business and that is where he has been ever since.

Appearance:

Age: Twenty-five
Status: Pure-blood
Personality: Nox has a bit of a bipolar attitude, sort of. When gathered about a good number of people, she'll tend to be calm and cheery. Alone, however, or with a peer or accompanying younger company, a sense of paranoia piles about her, and she becomes jittery and she plays with her hands more often. When something big happens or she plans on having something big happen in her life, she becomes twice as bad, expressing her nervousness no matter the company she lurks about with. Her appearance often takes after her personality, the circles under her eyes worsening the more excited she is.

Career-
Job Title: Store Keeper for "The Bright Night's Jewelry Emporium"
Job Location: Diagon Alley
Short Job Description: She crafts and sells jewelry, sometimes taking comissions if the set price is fair. She also has other accessories in her store, like scarves and the like, but they're mostly of muggle descent and more for decor rather than profit. Nox's Merch includes, but is not limited to, buckles, brooches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and on certain occasions does special sales on masquerade masks and has often been rumored to sell mysteriously magical bedazzled boots. The truth in these claims are unknown.
Do you enjoy your job? She loves her job! It's much better than what her family had been pressuring her for, that's for sure.

Short Character History: (I'm on the phone at the moment! I'll get one in when I plop my butt onto a laptop or PC~ c: )

Appearance:
Her attire mostly consists of similar dark toned turtleneck sweaters and skirts paired with boots. Standing at a petite five foot even, her shoes are often paired with heels that boost her height, especially when around younger but taller people. Her fidgety tenseness becomes more obvious when around accompanied by a multitude of younger companions much taller than she, and in trying to drown such tendencies, she wears heels. Of course, such attempts are futile, but at least the lady tries, yes?

(Optional)
Family - Helios Jade, eighteen, younger brother, attending Hogwarts;
Calypso Jade, twenty nine, older sister, hospitalized;
Mr and Mrs Jade, deceased
Familiar: None
Patronus: Owl

Anything Extra: She's naturally stickly, but she looks twice as bad what with her terrible eating habits and her bulimia. It's not because she's got this killer desire to be thin, either. She just copes with her stress and paranoia through the process of eating and then releasing. Her bulemic tendencies may come off as a worrying trait, but it's just a coping mechanism. Not a healthy one, of course.

Do you enjoy your job?
He loves it.

Short Character History:
At is 11th birthday, Marc recieved a letter from Hogwarts. His parents never told him his father was actually a wizard, so he was very surprised. While he was young, he had always wanted to do something with chemistry, like his mother. The sorting hat put him in Ravenclaw. In his first year he showed he was very adept at making potions. He quickly made friends with other Ravenclaws and generally had a good time.

During the summer breaks he would visit his parents and his mother would tutor him on Muggle sciences. This combination of both the Muggle and magic world made it hard for him to decide on his future. Luckily, in his sixth year he was able to choose Alchemy, which combined those two.

Appearance:


Family:
His father comes from a long line of wizards, though not a pureblood family. His roots lie in germany.
His mother is a Muggle chemist.
Familiar:

Patronus:

Name: Griffin “Griff” Langdon

Status: Hrm… He has several Muggles in his family, including a grandmother one on side and grandfather on the other… Both of his parents are magical themselves… More than a half-blood, less than a pure-blood. Three-fourths, perhaps?

Wand
-----
Length: 11” even
Wood: Fir
Core: Dragon Heartstring
Extra Info: Remarkably resilient, and a bit heavy, making slower, more deliberate and powerful action favorable. In duels, it is better suited to Shield Charms and defensive magic in general than full-on attack, though when it gets a Hex or Curse in, its opponent will definitely feel it. The Fir wand is most accustomed to and useful for Transfiguration magic, as well as the deeper, more specific schools, such as Artificing, Earth Magic and (regrettably) Dark Arts. In this way, besides the Dark Arts, Griff is very similar, drawn to the deep and fundamental magics of the world.

Extra Info: Griff’s experience at Hogwarts was enlightening, putting him in contact with some of the most talented witches and wizards of his time, but especially near the end, he knew he should be doing more, learning more. On top of all of his schoolwork, he began to do research and experiments on his own, and once he had taken his N.E.W.T.s, he knew he had just barely begun to scratch the surface of possibility. His love of magic, instilled in him through his time at Hogwarts, combined with a powerful determination and a fair bit of talent lead directly to his current place in life, and he couldn’t be happier.

Career
-----
Job Title: Apprentice Artificer (and Amateur Historicist, but that’s more of a side project)
Job Location: The Wickwell Workshop and Laboratory, Diagon Alley

Short Job Description: As the current Apprentice and lab assistant of the illustrious James Wickwell, Griff is learning the very complex art of bonding usable magic to objects (Artificing), and helping his mentor with all manner of magical experiments. His earlier training in Alchemy and Arithmancy are very useful here, as Artificing involves intimate knowledge of an object and its magical and nonmagical properties.

One of his current personal projects, something he’s dreamed about for years, is his own, self-made broomstick, and while the difficult Flying Charms are just now beginning to work, there is still a ways to go before it’s ridable. The challenge after that? His own Portkeys. On top of these, and his work with Wickwell, he is using the facilities to assist in his training as an Animagus. After seven years of work and practice, he is getting very close to his first viable transformation. As you can see, despite his assisting Wickwell, he is given freedom, encouragement, time and resources to pursue his own interests. The bit about being an Amateur Historicist? Wickwell has a personal Time Turner! Griff has seen and used a similar device before, at Hogwarts, but that was a very simple model, fit for nothing more than a student with too little time on his hands. Wickwell’s self-made and powerful version is much more useful, especially for the difficult science of Historicism (using magic to study the true past). However, it is also very dangerous, and Griff has never been given the opportunity to use it alone; only under the watchful eye of his mentor.

Do you enjoy your job? Definitely! It is a powerful learning experience, and there are few other careers he’d rather pursue. Eventually, once he is more skilled in Artificing and Historicism, he is preparing to apply for a position as an Unspeakable. The work that goes on in the Department of Mysteries is exactly what he wants to be involved in.

History
-----
By the time Griff arrived, Voldemort had returned, and his war was soon to be in full swing. His grandparents all remembered his first grab for power, and gravely advised their children to leave the country before things got worse. Because of this, and their family history, the Half-blood Langdons (his parents) sent the very young Griff, as well as each set of his grandparents, across to the mainland, his mother following soon afterwards. They settled into hiding with an old magical friend of his Muggle grandmother’s in Amsterdam, patiently and nervously waiting out the rest of the war there while his father kept up appearances in Britain. After close to two years of hiding, Griff’s father burst into the house in Amsterdam and spread the news: Voldemort was gone! He had been defeated by the same child that had forced him into hiding nearly twenty years before, Harry Potter, but this time, he was well and truly dead. The family all relocated back to their home, and life went back to the peace of the previous era.

Griff grew up there, in the house his mother and father had built, surrounded by powerful magic day in and day out, and became possessed with a powerful curiosity about it. Once he finally gained his wand, and his letter of acceptance from Hogwarts, the boy was overjoyed. He bought up as many books as he could fit in his cauldron (as his parents had no shortage of money), and by the time he actually arrived at the school, he knew more about it and magic than the vast majority of his peers. His placement into Ravenclaw was then no surprise, of course, and neither was his powerful academic excellence, his curiosity and enthusiasm pushing him through most, if not all of his classes with high marks. Though he was never particularly social, always busy with something or other, he still found time for a few close companions, who helped him to mellow out and relax, things that would be impossible for him to accomplish himself. He graduated with very high marks from the school, and with his father’s urging immediately contacted several workshops and laboratories to apply for Apprenticeships. It wasn’t long before he was packing his bags to go work on Diagon Alley, with the famous James Wickwell. It was like a dream come true.

Family/Extra
-----
Parents: John Langdon and Mary Langdon neé Greenwall are both Half-bloods, as John’s father and Mary’s mother are Muggles, albeit very intelligent Muggles. They know more about the Wizarding World than many wizards, and come from intellectual backgrounds that help them fit in fairly well amongst their new magical friends and family members. John and Mary themselves are Alchemists, and Mary is also a Healer in her spare time, meaning that they are experts in Potion-making. They take contracts with the Ministry of Magic, individual patrons, schools, and other organization to develop and produce powerful and useful potions. They have always cultivated Griff’s curiosity and drive, hoping for a son that surpasses them both in knowledge someday.

Familiar: Adonis, a large Kneazle given to him when he was young by his paternal grandmother, who has raised them since she was a young woman. He is very protective, and is often in Griff’s presence, either lounging around and sleeping or watching him work with bright eyes.

Patronus: A large heron.

Animagus Form: Bottlenose dolphin
-3m from tip of the nose to tip of the tail
-Red-tinted skin at the top of its forehead, surrounding the blowhole (analogous to Griff's hair)

Person –
Name: Violet Cane
Age: 23
Status: Half-blood
Personality: On the positive side of things, Violet is modest, shows definite signs of intelligence, and defaults to witty during most conversations. She’s also capable of being a very good friend, and never breaks her word.
On the downside, however, (there’s always a downside) she never aims high, figuring she’ll only be disappointed, is commonly distant towards those whom she doesn’t really know, and is your bog-standard malcontent when it comes to authority figures. Furthermore, when she’s in a bad mood (which is every early morning, she really hates early mornings) her witty conversationalist skills turn into scathing sarcasm. She’s typically, though, the laid-back type who drifts through life enjoying it while it lasts.

Career –
Job Title: Violet owns a bar called Voltaire’s.
Job Location: On the opposite side of the street from the Leaky Cauldron (on the regular, woefully not-Diagon Alley side).
Short Job Description: Violet is the owner of the establishment. She hires the employees, controls the distribution of finances and opening times, and occasionally serves at the bar herself. Voltaire’s serves food until 10PM every night, and is open 7PM until 2AM Monday to Friday, and from 7PM until 4AM on Saturday night. It is closed on Sundays.
Do you enjoy your job? Hell, yes.

Short Character History: (Short? Short? I never do short!) Violet’s father was a wizard only one year out of Hogwarts when he married Violet’s mother, a Muggle whom he had known from childhood. They had lived on the same street, and hated each other bitterly until puberty hit and stole their rationality. They moved into a small house on the outskirts of Manchester, England, and a year later Violet was born. The tiny house was barely large enough to hold two adults and the child they had no idea how to look after, but somehow they muddled through. Violet’s mother’s parents had disowned her once she began her relationship with Violet’s father, and his parents were disinclined: they had moved to Spain and showed about as much interest in their granddaughter as you might show to miniature spider. So, they muddled through, and Violet grew to be a reasonably well-rounded child (as well-rounded as one can be when your father wanders around in robes and with a wand and your mother is a whimsical artist) who began to manifest her ability for magic in the form of exploding pipes.
When she received her letter from Hogwarts, her parents initially heaved a sigh of relief: the plumbing bills were getting expensive, then packed her off with a smile and a wave. At school, Violet’s authority issues also began to manifest, along with her other less honourable personality traits, and although she made it into Gryffindor – her father’s house – she wasn’t nearly as happy as she’d expected to be. She spent the majority of the final year of her education in Hogsmeade, drinking Butterbeer and mingling with the locals, and scraped through graduation without making much of a splash and having experienced a few more detentions than she’d hoped for. She then worked as a barmaid for some time in the bar close to her parent’s house before she gained enough cash to open up her own. Now, she makes a modest profit and is finally enjoying herself.

Appearance: Basic Appearance

Violet has a few tattoos: The first one she got was a tattoo of a dragon, done in black ink, on the underside of her forearm. Its’ wings are spread, and its’ tail curls around her wrist, the second a tribal-style cross over her heart, and the third the outline of a bird in flight on the underside of her left wrist.

(Optional -
Family – Her parents are currently divorced. Her father lives in London, and hasn’t spoken to Violet since she left for Hogwarts, and her mother had gone to live in Italy with a chef she met on a cruise. She writes to her daughter frequently to express her disapproval over her occupation.
Familiar: None.
Patronus: A wren.

Anything Extra: Violet is a suffering insomniac, and gets her rest in what are essentially short cat-naps. She’ll stay up for most of the night, and then sleep in for most of the morning. She also tends to forget to eat when she’s working and then lives on coffee.

Name: Aella Arcana

Age : 21

Status: Pure

Personality: She's not a team player in fact she detest the idea of teams. She is fickle emotionally drifting form joy to sadness seemingly because she was bored of being happy. She loves being the odd girl even cultivating her reputation by doing unexplained things from time to time. Independent she wants no help preferring to gain power on her own. She has a code of honor though strange she'll not deviate from for any .reason. She is revolted by romance and considers it's pursuit wasted effort.

Short Character History : Aella is the youngest daughter of Mordais and Cynder Arcana.
She was a surprise to her parents as her nearest sibling Aeon is 21 years older than she.
Her two older siblings are Aeon a wizard 36 and Acantha 41 a witch.
Unwanted Aella very nearly raised herself which would also explain her lone wolf nature.
Her entry into Hogwarts was seen by her indifferent mother as a way to get her from underfoot.
When she was sorted the hat shivered as it said ” Slytherin ”
Her school work demonstrated that while she never stood out in any class she never failed any either and was never been in danger of such.
Teachers believed Aella hid her true level of ability by holding back.

Job Location: Ministry of Magic, London
Short Job Description: An Auror is a member of an elite unit of highly-trained, specialist officers within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic trained to investigate crimes related to the Dark Arts, and apprehend or detain Dark wizards and witches. He is very satisfied with his job.

Short Character History:

Eugene wasn't the perfect student, but he was a good person to model yourself after. Good grades, a quiet charmer in school, and lovable by the professors. He graduated three years before Harry Potter, and because he was still in Auror training at time, he advised to leave by "Mad Eye" before things took a turn for the worse. During the course of the Second War, Eugene did some minor stuff for the cause. However, he kept his distance and hid as instructed.

After the Second War, Eugene reemerged from hiding and continued his Auror training. Due to the diminished number of Aurors, he was accepted almost immediately. Over the next few years he served alongside Harry, Ron, and Neville and enjoyed every moment of it. At the age of 26, he married his wife Myra (Pure-Blooded). As a result of a very romantic Valentine's Day, Eugene had his first child, Kendra. After that time seemed to have blurred together. Work was about as normal as an Auror could get and he had two more children Stewart and Thomas.

She'll try her best to satisfy others as long as it doesn't conflict with her own interests and if it does, she'll tell you. She is a little more emotional than her partner, but can keep with a little reassurance she can keep a lid on it. Naturally excited and optimistic, she'll provide warmer feelings in the darkest of moments.

Short Job Description: An Auror is a member of an elite unit of highly-trained, specialist officers within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic trained to investigate crimes related to the Dark Arts, and apprehend or detain Dark wizards and witches.


Short Character History:
The eldest daughter of four, Lyra is shining role model for her brothers and sisters. She was an excellent student, albeit a bit of a smart arse. She exceeded in all of her classes, save a few, and was a very popular person at Hogwarts. What inspired her most was shining heroism of those students that defended Hogwarts years ago. She wanted to do exactly that: defend the magical world from all manner of things. So with the excellent marks boosting her chances, she signed on with the Aurors. Training proved difficult and in some of her tests she barely passed. She passed, however, and has been a full-fledged Auror for about a year now.

Since she is rather raw to this very demanding job, she was assigned an experienced partner, Eugene. Mirroring each other in a lot of aspects, the two became fast friends and the partnership sort of flourished.

She uses humor as a defense mechanism and more often than not has no idea if she offends someone. That's not to say that she's not a nice girl, which she entirely is. There are instances, such as when a girl is wearing an extra ridiculous looking robe, where a catty joke might surface. In all honesty, the sorting hat whispered that she was equally perfect for Hufflepuff, if it wasn't for her stubborn ambitions that seem to even get in the way of her friendships.

From her early training in stunning spells and dark, dangerous creatures, Amelia was a natural in Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts. She had a particular knack for shield-charms and protective enchantments that she often used for charging beasts that could double as strong curse-blockers.

Job Title: Wizarding Duelist/Heiress
Job Location: Worldwide
Short Job Description: She travels and competes at Dueling competitions across the world. Her main source of support is a small fortune from her grandfather Newt's royalties.
Do you enjoy your job: Yes, absolutely.

Short Character History:
-Born to the Scamander family of wizarding beast researchers. Her grandfather Newt's work is used as training from the earliest years of Hogwarts to even guidebooks for the Dangerous Beasts Division of the Ministry.
-Spent the first decade of her life traveling with her parents and grandfather across the world researching the different breeds of magical animals. (somewhat Thornberry-esque)
-Learned to subdue, interact with and manage dangerous magic creatures alongside her 'experts in the field' family members.
-Early years at Hogwarts were spent as average as possible. She made friends with students from every house.
-Captain of the Dueling Club through her later years at Hogwarts. Usually preoccupied with Dueling which injured her in some classes.
-Grandfather died in her seventh year, which emotionally wreaked havoc on her final studies.
-It's not really hard to believe that Amelia never really had the pressure of having to truly 'fend for herself' after Hogwarts. With her grandfather's small fortune after his death, she took two years to travel and apprentice at over a dozen different wizarding jobs across the world.
-Worked the next four years as a traveling duelist from competitions across the world. Similar to muggle UFC fights, it's a widely followed sport in the magical community.
-Used skills for subduing and protection from dangerous creatures to uniquely compete in the duels.
-Won her very first National Dueling Competition at the young age of twenty-three. She's the second youngest witch to do so, which splashed across wizarding headlines.

Appearance: There are two distinctly different styles to Amelia's general wardrobe. She has a strong tie to muggle fashion from her mother and often wears upscale fashion while traveling around town. In the field and while competing on the other hand, she'll opt for a simple work robe and her hair tied back.

- - - Updated - - -

Alright sorry guys! The other thread got closed because I had an OOC thread in the Interest Check, I probably should have changed that when I realized, no biggie, we'll just move our thread to right here! Give me one second and I'll repost the current plot ideas.

- - - Updated - - -

We have been going over several plot ideas, it's likely we'll be doing several at once that way everybody has something to do at some point.

First plot line:
The Werewolf Wars - The werewolves who have gone into hiding are getting restless, angry about having to hide out while the wizards and human parade about. They begin to move in on smaller towns, attacking humans without warning. Due to this the population of Diagon Alley will increase a bit due to a lack of homes for these wizards to stay. The leader of the wolves is likely to notice that the humans are disappearing and where they are heading to. Eventually a Werewolf takeover will be staged as a large pack of them ravage Diagon Alley, giving everybody there reason to run or become a part of this particular story. This also gives the Ministry of Magic plenty to do in terms of stopping the attacks, keeping casualties down and keeping this silent from the muggles.

Second Plot Line:
This is likely to be the underlying plot line of the entire story, something that I also think everybody will be able to join. Things haven't been as bright and full of sunshine as everybody would like to think. There really is something dark rising, although it's difficult to know for sure what it is. Disappearances, murders, attacks, these things happen, but lately it seems it's been happening more often than usual. People don't want to believe that anything could be happening or else believe it to be the works of werewolves or other such creatures. In reality this is the work of the Beast Master. A dark wizard whose existence is completely unknown, nobody knows who he is, where he is or even how he's managing to corrupt so many. The dark workings are that of his followers, although they are just as unsure of their master's identity as anybody else. As a result a small uprising of dark wizards are making themselves known, the wizarding world fighting to rid themselves of one threat only for another to take it's place almost immediately. This story line gives us a few things, it gives us a supply of bad guys to work with and defeat while the main antagonist* is left unknown for now. Eventually the players will have an idea that there is a larger entity at work here, but that will come a little later down the line. This is something that involves everybody, each character will be affected by The Beast Master in some way. The disappearing and murders and such are directly related to those who in some way knew of his existence and threatened his secrecy.

Plot Line 3:
The most simple really. The ministry working to cover up the idea of another dark lord. They don't want a mass panic on their hands, the minister himself is keeping secrets, but it's hard to say what exactly.

Each of these ideas were put together by ideas suggested by several of our players. Other side stories are also welcome, and keep in mind that each of your characters is welcome to have their own story, but if it's going to affect the main story I ask that you discuss it with the group so we have an idea of what's going on.

@ Prime your idea of underground dark wizards can work as a side plot, the thought being that's where the uprising is coming from but for now the Beast Master is unattainable.

- - - Updated - - -

I would like people's opinions on these ideas.

Person

Name: Griffin “Griff” Langdon
Age: 22
Status: Hrm… He has several Muggles in his family, including a grandmother one on side and grandfather on the other… Both of his parents are magical themselves… More than a half-blood, less than a pure-blood. Three-fourths, perhaps?

Wand
-----
Length: 11” even
Wood: Fir
Core: Dragon Heartstring
Extra Info: Remarkably resilient, and a bit heavy, making slower, more deliberate and powerful action favorable. In duels, it is better suited to Shield Charms and defensive magic in general than full-on attack, though when it gets a Hex or Curse in, its opponent will definitely feel it. The Fir wand is most accustomed to and useful for Transfiguration magic, as well as the deeper, more specific schools, such as Artificing, Earth Magic and (regrettably) Dark Arts. In this way, besides the Dark Arts, Griff is very similar, drawn to the deep and fundamental magics of the world.

Extra Info: Griff’s experience at Hogwarts was enlightening, putting him in contact with some of the most talented witches and wizards of his time, but especially near the end, he knew he should be doing more, learning more. On top of all of his schoolwork, he began to do research and experiments on his own, and once he had taken his N.E.W.T.s, he knew he had just barely begun to scratch the surface of possibility. His love of magic, instilled in him through his time at Hogwarts, combined with a powerful determination and a fair bit of talent lead directly to his current place in life, and he couldn’t be happier.

Career
-----
Job Title: Apprentice Artificer (and Amateur Historicist, but that’s more of a side project)
Job Location: The Wickwell Workshop and Laboratory

Short Job Description: As the current Apprentice and lab assistant of the illustrious James Wickwell, Griff is learning the very complex art of bonding usable magic to objects (Artificing), and helping his mentor with all manner of magical experiments. His earlier training in Alchemy and Arithmancy are very useful here, as Artificing involves intimate knowledge of an object and its magical and nonmagical properties.

One of his current personal projects, something he’s dreamed about for years, is his own, self-made broomstick, and while the difficult Flying Charms are just now beginning to work, there is still a ways to go before it’s ridable. The challenge after that? His own Portkeys. On top of these, and his work with Wickwell, he is using the facilities to assist in his training as an Animagus. After three years of work and practice, he is getting very close to his first viable transformation. As you can see, despite his assisting Wickwell, he is given freedom, encouragement, time and resources to pursue his own interests. The bit about being an Amateur Historicist? Wickwell has a personal Time Turner! Griff has seen and used a similar device before, at Hogwarts, but that was a very simple model, fit for nothing more than a student with too little time on his hands. Wickwell’s self-made and powerful version is much more useful, especially for the difficult science of Historicism (using magic to study the true past). However, it is also very dangerous, and Griff has never been given the opportunity to use it alone; only under the watchful eye of his mentor.

Do you enjoy your job? Definitely! It is a powerful learning experience, and there are few other careers he’d rather pursue. Eventually, once he is more skilled in Artificing and Historicism, he is preparing to apply for a position as an Unspeakable. The work that goes on in the Department of Mysteries is exactly what he wants to be involved in.

History
-----
By the time Griff arrived, Voldemort had returned, and his war was soon to be in full swing. His grandparents all remembered his first grab for power, and gravely advised their children to leave the country before things got worse. Because of this, and their family history, the Half-blood Langdons (his parents) sent the very young Griff, as well as each set of his grandparents, across to the mainland, his mother following soon afterwards. They settled into hiding with an old magical friend of his Muggle grandmother’s in Amsterdam, patiently and nervously waiting out the rest of the war there while his father kept up appearances in Britain. After close to two years of hiding, Griff’s father burst into the house in Amsterdam and spread the news: Voldemort was gone! He had been defeated by the same child that had forced him into hiding nearly twenty years before, Harry Potter, but this time, he was well and truly dead. The family all relocated back to their home, and life went back to the peace of the previous era.

Griff grew up there, in the house his mother and father had built, surrounded by powerful magic day in and day out, and became possessed with a powerful curiosity about it. Once he finally gained his wand, and his letter of acceptance from Hogwarts, the boy was overjoyed. He bought up as many books as he could fit in his cauldron (as his parents had no shortage of money), and by the time he actually arrived at the school, he knew more about it and magic than the vast majority of his peers. His placement into Ravenclaw was then no surprise, of course, and neither was his powerful academic excellence, his curiosity and enthusiasm pushing him through most, if not all of his classes with high marks. Though he was never particularly social, always busy with something or other, he still found time for a few close companions, who helped him to mellow out and relax, things that would be impossible for him to accomplish himself. He graduated with very high marks from the school, and with his father’s urging immediately contacted several workshops and laboratories to apply for Apprenticeships. It wasn’t long before he was packing his bags to go work on Diagon Alley, with the famous James Wickwell. It was like a dream come true.

Family/Extra
-----
Parents: John Langdon and Mary Langdon neé Greenwall are both Half-bloods, as John’s father and Mary’s mother are Muggles, albeit very intelligent Muggles. They know more about the Wizarding World than many wizards, and come from intellectual backgrounds that help them fit in fairly well amongst their new magical friends and family members. John and Mary themselves are Alchemists, and Mary is also a Healer in her spare time, meaning that they are experts in Potion-making. They take contracts with the Ministry of Magic, individual patrons, schools, and other organization to develop and produce powerful and useful potions. They have always cultivated Griff’s curiosity and drive, hoping for a son that surpasses them both in knowledge someday.

Familiar: Adonis, a large and intelligent Kneazle given to him when he was young by his paternal grandmother, who has raised them since she was a young woman. He is very protective, and is often in Griff’s presence, either lounging around and sleeping or watching him work with bright eyes.

Patronus: A large heron.

Animagus Form: Bottlenose Dolphin
-Approx. three meters from tip of his nose to tip of his tail.
-Red coloring surrounding the blowhole and the upper forehead, analogous to Griff’s bright red hair.

Status: Half-Blood

Personality: As opposed to her partner, she is more lax, outgoing, and friendlier. She normally doesn't shy away from a conversation or meeting someone, unless she is rather pressed with a work-related thing. She'll try her best to satisfy others as long as it doesn't conflict with her own interests and if it does, she'll tell you. She is a little more emotional than her partner, but can keep with a little reassurance she can keep a lid on it. Naturally excited and optimistic, she'll provide warmer feelings in the darkest of moments.

Job Title: Auror
Job Location: Ministry of Magic, London
Short Job Description: An Auror is a member of an elite unit of highly-trained, specialist officers within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic trained to investigate crimes related to the Dark Arts, and apprehend or detain Dark wizards and witches.


Short Character History:
The eldest daughter of four, Lyra is shining role model for her brothers and sisters. She was an excellent student, albeit a bit of a smart arse. She exceeded in all of her classes, save a few, and was a very popular person at Hogwarts. What inspired her most was shining heroism of those students that defended Hogwarts years ago. She wanted to do exactly that: defend the magical world from all manner of things. So with the excellent marks boosting her chances, she signed on with the Aurors. Training proved difficult and in some of her tests she barely passed. She passed, however, and has been a full-fledged Auror for about a year now.

Since she is rather raw to this very demanding job, she was assigned an experienced partner, Eugene. Mirroring each other in a lot of aspects, the two became fast friends and the partnership sort of flourished.

Person -
Name: Amelia Scamander
Age: 23
Status: Half-Blood
Personality: Amelia is a networking girl with a strong, sometimes abrasive attitude to people who don't take quick wit very well. She uses humor as a defense mechanism and more often than not has no idea if she offends someone. That's not to say that she's not a nice girl, which she entirely is. There are instances, such as when a girl is wearing an extra ridiculous looking robe, where a catty joke might surface. In all honesty, the sorting hat whispered that she was equally perfect for Hufflepuff, if it wasn't for her stubborn ambitions that seem to even get in the way of her friendships.

Extra Info: Amelia's scores don't represent that she's an incapable witch, but the fact that her concentration is somewhat lacking. She whizzed through her Astronomy final because she didn't quite care, didn't study for a month before her Ancient Runes exam and had a devastating cauldron explosion during her Potions NEWTs that caused the entire dungeon to evacuate from a semi-sentient goo that continued to chase students around the classroom.

From her early training in stunning spells and dark, dangerous creatures, Amelia was a natural in Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts. She had a particular knack for shield-charms and protective enchantments that she often used for charging beasts that could double as strong curse-blockers.

Career-
Job Title: Wizarding Duelist/Heiress
Job Location: Worldwide
Short Job Description: She travels and competes at Dueling competitions across the world. Her main source of support is a small fortune from her grandfather Newt's royalties.
Do you enjoy your job: Yes, absolutely.

Short Character History:
-Born to the Scamander family of wizarding beast researchers. Her grandfather Newt's work is used as training from the earliest years of Hogwarts to even guidebooks for the Dangerous Beasts Division of the Ministry.
-Spent the first decade of her life traveling with her parents and grandfather across the world researching the different breeds of magical animals. (somewhat Thornberry-esque)
-Learned to subdue, interact with and manage dangerous magic creatures alongside her 'experts in the field' family members.
-Early years at Hogwarts were spent as average as possible. She made friends with students from every house.
-Captain of the Dueling Club through her later years at Hogwarts. Usually preoccupied with Dueling which injured her in some classes.
-Grandfather died in her seventh year, which emotionally wreaked havoc on her final studies.
-It's not really hard to believe that Amelia never really had the pressure of having to truly 'fend for herself' after Hogwarts. With her grandfather's small fortune after his death, she took two years to travel and apprentice at over a dozen different wizarding jobs across the world.
-Worked the next four years as a traveling duelist from competitions across the world. Similar to muggle UFC fights, it's a widely followed sport in the magical community.
-Used skills for subduing and protection from dangerous creatures to uniquely compete in the duels.
-Won her very first National Dueling Competition at the young age of twenty-three. She's the second youngest witch to do so, which splashed across wizarding headlines.

Appearance: There are two distinctly different styles to Amelia's general wardrobe. She has a strong tie to muggle fashion from her mother and often wears upscale fashion while traveling around town. In the field and while competing on the other hand, she'll opt for a simple work robe and her hair tied back.

Name: Nox Jade
Age: Twenty-five
Status: Pure-blood
Personality: Nox has a bit of a bipolar attitude, sort of. When gathered about a good number of people, she'll tend to be calm and cheery. Alone, however, or with a peer or accompanying younger company, a sense of paranoia piles about her, and she becomes jittery and she plays with her hands more often. When something big happens or she plans on having something big happen in her life, she becomes twice as bad, expressing her nervousness no matter the company she lurks about with. Her appearance often takes after her personality, the circles under her eyes worsening the more excited she is.

Career-
Job Title: Store Keeper for "The Bright Night's Jewelry Emporium"
Job Location: Diagon Alley
Short Job Description: She crafts and sells jewelry, sometimes taking comissions if the set price is fair. She also has other accessories in her store, like scarves and the like, but they're mostly of muggle descent and more for decor rather than profit. Nox's Merch includes, but is not limited to, buckles, brooches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and on certain occasions does special sales on masquerade masks and has often been rumored to sell mysteriously magical bedazzled boots. The truth in these claims are unknown.
Do you enjoy your job? She loves her job! It's much better than what her family had been pressuring her for, that's for sure.

Short Character History: Nox's life was filled with obeying. As a child she obeyed her older sister Calypso and her parents, and then when Helios was born, well, pretty much everyone obeyed the little thing. It was hard being the sister of a manipulatively evil boy, three-year-old or otherwise. He seemed to have sharpened eyes and ears, and his childishly open mind made him twice as perceptive as adults. Of course, many children are, but Helios exploited this perceptiveness to get what he wanted. It was he, as well as the other members of the Jade family, that caused this ever growing paranoia about Nox of being watched or being punished. Her school life was pleasant enough- for one, she didnt see much of her older sister there, and Helios was too far away to do much psychoanalysis on her. Yes, her petite frame and ridiculously shy attitude often got her picked as a person of prey- it was hardly believable that a jittery soul such as hers was put into Slytherin.
As years passed, Nox took great interest in jewelry as well as the making of it. She was a brilliant designer and often piqued the interest of many Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff girls. This was where the Hat had been right in sorting Nox into Slytherin. When it came to this newfound interest of hers, she was ambitious, prideful, and though she'd plead the fifth about it, she was deceptively sly. Her parents' death made Calypso the head of the Jade family by right, but the ones pulling the strings were really her brother. Nox wasn't one for lying, but her nervous and awkward attitude was so not unusual that no one noticed the lies that came out of her mouth. She even rebelled against the very brother she feared in order to take up a job that he didnt want her to have. Eventually she was allowed, when Calypso was hexed by some stranger and hospitalized in Mungo's and Helios thought it had been in the hands of Nox (which it had not been, by the way).
It took a year for Nox to build a shop, and after that, six months for the shop to collapse. She tried again seven months later, and thus far, currently owns one of the moderately popular jewelry shops in Diagon alley- both magical and non magical. As for the rumours regarding dark artifacts in her store...well, she still listens to her brother you know.


Appearance:
Her attire mostly consists of similar dark toned turtleneck sweaters and skirts paired with boots. Standing at a petite five foot even, her shoes are often paired with heels that boost her height, especially when around younger but taller people. Her fidgety tenseness becomes more obvious when around accompanied by a multitude of younger companions much taller than she, and in trying to drown such tendencies, she wears heels. Of course, such attempts are futile, but at least the lady tries, yes?

(Optional)
Family - Helios Jade, eighteen, younger brother, attending Hogwarts;
Calypso Jade, twenty nine, older sister, hospitalized;
Mr and Mrs Jade, deceased
Familiar: None
Patronus: Owl

Anything Extra: She's naturally stickly, but she looks twice as bad what with her terrible eating habits and her bulimia. It's not because she's got this killer desire to be thin, either. She just copes with her stress and paranoia through the process of eating and then releasing. Her bulemic tendencies may come off as a worrying trait, but it's just a coping mechanism. Not a healthy one, of course.

Person -
Name: Eiffle Flightworthy
Age: Twenty-seven
Status: Half-blood
Personality: Eiffle's a people person. Not necessarily a "people pleaser", but he was good when it came to communicating with people. He was even better at telling them off, yeah. While at one hand many at school viewed him as sort of an "older brother" or the like, many faced his fatherly presence when he got down the business and scolded people for shit they'd done. He was the type who's anger was cold instead of hot, he was the type that held his anger in until the perfect time to release it. Sometimes, he never released his anger. Sure, he loved scolding people when they did something wrong, but he's a sucker for listening to their side. Sometimes, but very few times, he is fooled by stories. When it comes to his job, he's focused on it, having risked someone else's life for the sake of finishing a job- he was just that sort of guy.

Extra Info: Eiffle was a generally good student, though his History of Magic grades tended to slip, what with him sleeping so often at that class and, therefore, not learning much. Not too hot at DADA either, he learned to buckle down and study up to get that O in order to get the job he wanted. It ended up slipping his Potions grade to an E, however, but it was fine considering past documents showed that the slip was but a one time thing and other times he had done Outstandingly.

Job Title: Curse Breaker for Gringotts
Job Location: Anywhere Gringotts takes him, mainly Egypt and other areas of ancient magical importance.
Short Job Description: A Curse-Breaker is a profession at the wizard's bank Gringotts, in which a wizard or witch disables or counters curses in ancient tombs or other historical sites, in order to bring back gold to Gringotts. It is said to be a very dangerous and serious profession, in which a wizard or witch could be killed as a result of an old curse, jinx, or hex.
Do you enjoy your job? "Damn straight! I've wanted this job since I was a fifth year!"

Short Character History: (WAIT AAAAAh)

Appearance:
Eiffle stands at a tall six foot three, with a mess of dirty blonde hair that make his deep brown eyes pop. When working he tends to put his hair up in a tiny ponytail, and tends not to cut his locks until they reach shoulder length for cutting them before that would be a hassle and waste of time, and keeping them any longer may hinder his job. He has a plethora of ink on his body, just stuff he did with his mates whenever they were bored on a long night out. Because the Goblins don't give a dress code for the curse breakers, Eiffle often dresses in a wife beater under a loose long sleeved shirt- usually striped (he loves stripes) matched with pants that seem to have more pockets than normal pants do, as well as combat boots covered in dirt and mud.

(Optional)
Family - Mother(witch), Father(Muggle), Younger brother(Muggle), Younger sister(Unknown)
Familiar: A slim black cat by the name of Romeo
Patronus: Panther

Anything Extra: Due to several situations in which he messed around with some guys in a tent over in Egypt, he's not entirely sure if he likes girls or guys or both or what. So far, he's decided he'll accept whoever comes his way so long they have a pretty face. That said, despite the fatherly attitude in which he carries himself, he doesn't want to take on any responsibilities or anything.
