I'm looking for 2, possibly 3 other people who'd be willing to commit to a long-term RP set in the Harry Potter universe. The group will be small, comparable to the three main characters in the books and movies - I think this will make for a better flowing, more enjoyable RP for this particular idea, would allow for lots of character development as well as a plot that won't be stopped by people dropping out and joining. It's the sort of thing were, due to the number of people, I'd be very open to ideas and we could shape the story together. Most likely set in the characters' last school year of Hogwarts, though I'm flexible. Either High Casual or Advanced depending on what sort of interest I get.

Anyone?

Well like I said, I'd like 3-4 people. It's High Casual, so if the apps aren't to that standard I guess I'd have to be harsh and turn them down. Whoever has the most interesting character/best app=gets in. Not making this a competition, just saying.

Adelie Evanne Hurst

"Adi"

17 years old

Female


Magical Characteristics

Half Blood

Wand is 11 inch ~ Elm ~ Unicorn hair

Patronus of a Tiger

Boggart is Water


Historical Information

Born in the outskirts of Caithness in the Scottish Highlands

Family:

– Marianne Hurst (nee Julius) (mother)

– August Hurst (father)

– Adrianne Hurst (sister)

Biography:

Adelie was born to a witch mother, and a muggle father. Her father had no clue her mother was a witch, as she kept it from him. She didn’t mind at the time, considering herself too in love to care. But after Adelie was born, there was no keeping the secret any longer. Adelie would do strange things. Move about the room, make instruments play for her entertainment, make toys spin, etc. all without touching them. Her mother admitted her lineage to her husband, who accepted the women in his life for who they were, despite the lack of trust that had started it. Adelie was proving to be gifted practically out of the womb, and so it was no surprise when her younger sister, Adrianne, came just 2 years after Adelie, that she was talented as well. Though she didn’t show quite as much promise, she was still performing accidental feats of magic by age 2, and much more destructive ones than Adelie. Such as over boiling the coffee pot, causing the cat to float about the room, and turning the oven up to burn dinner.

On Adelie’s 11th birthday, she received her Hogwarts letter. Her parents were proud and eagerly bought her everything she might need for her magical journey, though her father was a tad bit apprehensive when in Diagon Alley, and Adrianne was more than a little jealous. During her Diagon Alley trip, she met a girl with fantastic blonde hair who had a cat. Loving cats, Adelie approached her and introduced herself, asking if she could pet the furry creature. The girl obliged and they parted ways. Turns out they would both be put in Gryffindor house, and become friends during a night when Rin got lost in a thunderstorm and Adelie went looking for her out in the rain. Finding her and comforting her, Rin has easily become Adelie's best friend over their years at Hogwarts.

During Adelie’s first year at Hogwarts, while trying to make friends, she was dared to take a swim in the Black Lake. Not one to turn down a dare, she dove in, not knowing the mermaids and other magical beings that lurked within. She has no idea what, but something grabbed her, trying to pull her into the depths. She almost drowned when she pulled out her wand and yelled stupefy, a spell she’d read about when studying prior to the start of the year, and tried to swim away. She has no idea if she would have made it, except Calvin dove in and pulled her to shore.. She passed out when she hit the shore, waking up the hospital wing. Since then, she’s had a terrible fear of deep water, and a solid friendship with Cal.

She’s always received top scores, and excelled at Transfiguration. The classes she has done poorest in were Herbology, having no green thumb at all, and potions. She just would rather use her wand than work up something in a pot, as she usually put it, glossing over that some potions did things a wand couldn’t. She also avoided such subjects as care of magical creatures and divination, assuming herself to not be skilled in those areas without even trying.

Another notable event was in her 5th year when she became Gryffindor beater for the quidditch team. On their first game against Slytherin, the opposing team’s beater hit a bludger towards her and knocked her out of the sky, unconscious. She has never forgotten the insult, and loathes Slytherin quidditch team because of it. After all, she broke several bones in the incident. During her second game against the team, the same beater tried it again, when Zef knocked the bludger away from hitting her. After the game she saw a fight break out between the two Slytherin boys because of it, and has been friends with Zef since, despite her general feelings towards Slytherin house.

Now coming into her last year at Hogwarts, Adelie is looking forward to graduating in order to get a job possibly as Junior Assistant to the Minister of Magic, although she secretly wishes she could play quidditch professionally for the Montrose Magpies.

One of the things that has followed Adelie since her 3rd year at Hogwarts though, was her sister. Her sister who got into Ravenclaw. Her sister who was blonde, beautiful and skinny. Her sister who played seeker for Ravenclaw and has been one of the best in their history. Her sister who excels in all things art, especially Divination. Adelie has been in Adrianne’s shadow in her mind since her little sister got her letter and came to the school, though Adrianne feels the same way. Her sister is stronger than her, smarter than her, and has more friends than her after all, but Adelie has trouble seeing that side of herself at times.

Her 3rd year is also when Adelie became friends with Stella. Lugnut, the constant Slytherin thorn in her side, tried to hex her after an argument, when Stella disarmed him and prevented the hex from hitting Adelie. Although skeptical of the entire art of divination and 'seeing', Adelie now counted Stella as a smart, good friend she could rely on.


Personal Info

Adelie is driven and respected by the staff at Hogwarts, and by most of the students for that reason. She has a hard time understanding humor, so when she does make a joke, she often surprises herself more than anyone else. She despises stupidity, thinking those that blow off class or play pranks that harm others as utterly useless. She is a sort of motherly figure towards the friends she does keep close, scolding them when they don’t keep in line, and often correcting their grammar. She has tried to stop over her years at Hogwarts however, though she struggles. She is one of the most loyal friends one could ever have, often sticking around in friendships when the other involved has hurt her repeatedly. She is very trusting and often naïve, thinking almost everyone good until they prove her wrong. She carries with her a sense of high society, despite not being from money or any sort of special breed, she just carries herself with that sort of dignity. She loves fully, and therefore hates furiously when turned against or when her friends are harmed as well.

Likes: Cats, quidditch, winning, transfiguration

Dislikes: Swimming, the Forbidden forest, being compared to her sister, Slytherin


Appearance:

Stands 5’6”

Weighs 130lbs

Mid-Large bone structure

A heavy brow and a mix of green and hazel eyes make her gaze intense. She has an average face shape and nose, but rather plump lips and long, wavy dark hair. Her skin tone is on the pale side, and she has a few random moles. She has an hourglass figure but tends to dress it down rather than up. She wears minimal makeup, but almost always wears some, and does nothing to her hair. She has a white smile, but her canine teeth are up higher than the rest, giving her a slightly vampirish/animalistic appearance when she smiles. She chews her nails to the quick daily, a nervous habit.

Clothing style [+]


Optional

Pet: Owl named Iris

Quidditch Position: Beater

Other: If you want to have a history or past experience with Adelie, pm me and we can work something out. (If this is accepted by the GM of course.)

Your app seems fine :D, only I don't think animagi is really something we will do right away, kinda makes us overpowered right from the start. Maybe the characters can learn in together.

Btw the 'Quidditch Position' is only if applicable. Your character doesn't have to play Quidditch.

Alright. I normally wouldn't have added the animagus ability except for that I wanted her specialty to be transfiguration. But I can just make her learn it quickly whenever/if we do it IC.

I understand that I just think it's probably the most sought after ability in RPs, as it's pretty badass. Would be unfair to give it to one person and probably unrealistic to give it to all of us straight away.

Also, I was thinking: maybe your character could have met the other characters/one of the characters by being saved from the lake by them? Dunno, up to you.

Yeah that was one opening I saw while writing it, but didn't write it in right away in case no one wanted to do that. But openings in her past could be pulling her out of the lake, being someone who dared her to and then regretted it, helping her get on the quidditch team or to the hospital after her injuries, or something in someone else's past. I also put the Forbidden Forest as a dislike in case she ever took an adventure in there with anyone as well that ended badly.
