~ Story
It's been twelve years since the death of the dark lord on the very grounds of Hogwarts, the blood of the causalities still fresh between the cracks of stone and dirt. There is a new headmaster at Hogwarts, new teachers and new students to tell new stories in the aftermath of the dark lord's fall. It's been quiet and peaceful for the past few years, and no sign of trouble seems to be present, except for the usual rivalry of house Gryffindor and house Slytherin .

A month into the new year at the prime school of wizardry, a student is contacted by a mysterious person claiming to be a Death Eater, and is recruited to be the spy at Hogwarts for the Legacy of Lord Voldemort.

8-12 Lectures
12-5 Free-Hours

~Day Advancement
A single day could take from 5 to 15 posts per player, but at least the majority of the players should have posted between 5-15 times in order to advance into the other day. (Post number is a rough estimation)
This day advancement system isn't necessarily the one we will be using, it is just there established in case confusion gets around.

Most of the time day advancement is controlled by the GM and the Co-GM. So no worries counting others' posts.

~Rules

- This is a Harry Potter roleplay, some knowledge of the HP universe, terminology and lore is kinda required. If you think you can manage to participate you are more than welcome, but I prefer those with some HP knowledge.

- Drop a character sheet using the sample below, you will need my approval to get your character accepted and ready to post. Currently you may make two characters max (1 staff, 1 student. Or 2 students), you may make a Staff character but it needs to be good and interesting!

- Universal RP'ing rules and decorum apply here, don't kill other characters, don't control them without their owner's permission, READ all posts before posting, even if they were unrelated to your character!

- This will hopefully be an active and lasting RP, so I expect usual participation and no sudden departure. If your character stands in the way of other characters' and plot advancement it will be controlled by me or the Co-GM to resume the story fluidity, and if its absence continues it will be killed off- or worse, expelled.

- No explicit adult content, keep it tasteful and clean. (Be creative and minimal with cussing, stay away from the F, A, S and C words)

- The spy will be picked and contacted by PM after some time, don't aspire to be picked, just play your character and a spy will be picked.

- This RP will strongly depend on character development more than anything else, this is a character driven RP. Make your character act and behave like a real Hogwarts student/staff.

- Refer to the Map section, there is a website that could help you achieve accuracy in terms of locations.

(None of the students mentioned in the HP books and/or movies are currently present at the school)

This RP will focus on original new characters, so reduce the mention of established characters. (creative mentions to add flavor to the story are accepted of course, just don't make stuff up, stick to the original continuity of mentioned characters.)

Full Name: Jordan Devin Latner-Mason

Age: 19

Blood: Pureblood

Alignment: Neutral

House: Ravenclaw

Personality: Jordan is smart, cunning, determined, and easily approachable. While not exactly a genius, Jordan can hold her own amongst the brightest wizards. She's book-smart and has a constant hunger for more knowledge. She's the kind of person who knows what she wants and will do all she can to get it, although she can take on a tunnel vision when it comes to that. She's friendly enough, though wary of unfamiliar people, and can offer a hand when you need it. Despite everything she's achieved, Jordan's ego can be easily destroyed by a few choice words. She's not exactly the bravest witch either, and is not a risk taker. She's a person who looks before she leaps, even if it means not leaping at all, especially if she deems the reward not worth the effort. She wants to get over this particular flaw because she knows it would hinder her in her climb to greatness.

Bio\History:
Jordan was the youngest, born into a family of Slytherins. They valued greatness and tradition, so when young Jordan came to earth, her fate to follow the footsteps of everyone in her family had been set in stone. So when Jordan turned eleven and received her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, her father saw her off with the words, "Show them the best Latner Slytherin," ringing behind her. So of course her parents had been devastated when they received a mail from her the next day with the news of which house she was sorted into. Their daughter was a Ravenclaw, the very first in their ancestry. They could not have that. Jordan was pulled out of school and taught a lesson, the hard way - which was the only way in the Latner clan.

Still, they couldn't hold her for long. Disowned by her own parents and shunned by her former siblings, she retured to Hogwarts two years later than normal. That fact, added to rumours about why she'd been held back, became a reason for Jordan to become ostracized during her freshman year. Despite how much she attempted to excel in classes, there would always be mockery meeting her in every corner.

The Latners couldn't have their name being soiled by the wimpy face Jordan was showing, so her two older brothers were tasked to shake away all the depression inside her. They built her up and helped her find a circle to join amongst the freshmen, and once she was set, they ripped away the right to the Latner name from her. She took on the name of Mason, the surname of a secret muggle friend from her childhood, and took on life with the force that the Latners would be proud of.

Now in her seventh year at Hogwarts, Jordan is determined to show that her parents were wrong.

Appearance:


Wand: 12 1/2 inches | Willow wood | Unicorn hair core | Brittle

Pet:

I'm on lunch break at work right now, but I will post characters as soon as I get home, although that won't be for another eight hours or so.

What's your feeling about animagus or metamorphagus or werewolves as students? All a no go, or just depends?

I hope this is okay!

@bittersweetsymphonia Awesome sheet all around, intriguing and well made up character! Accepted! :)

@Numerica ok, no rush.

@whirlwind nah, I don't think it works well on a staff or student character. But if you promise to make it interesting I am ready to make an exception :)

It surpasses 'okay' by a couple hundred yards :P
It's awesome, ACCEPTED!

That's mighty kind of you, Malikoy! <3

I found a map of the insides of Hogwarts but it's in parts and is floor by floor. It seems pretty detailed though?

Adelie Evanne Hurst
17 years old
Half Blood

Alignment: Good
Gryffindor House

Personality: 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

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 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 managed to swim away. She passed out when she hit the shore, waking up the hospital wing. Since then, she’s had a terrible fear of deep water.

She’s always received top scores, and excelled at Transfiguration. By her 6th year, she began trying to become an animagus, with mixed results so far. She is hoping to master the skill during this final year. 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. One 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.

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.




Notable Skills: Transfiguration, Intelligence, Unafraid of most things

Patronus of a Tiger

Pet: Owl named Iris
Other: If you want to have a history or past experience with Adelie, pm me and we can work something out.

@Whirlwind ACCEPTED!

@McHaggis It looks perfect, I will look more into it once I'm on PC, hard to navigate on mobile :\

Hi, uhm, are you still accepting by any chance?~ I know I'm probably a little late.

Nope, Hogwarts is still open :)

@ Malikoy: Okay, I'll have a character up soon. Thank you! c:

Full Name: Draven Eldridge

Age: 37

Blood: Half-Blood

Alignment: Neutral

House: Ravenclaw Alumni

Personality: Draven is, above all else, a quiet and secluded man. He has the ability to talk to others, but he chooses not to a lot of the time, as he prefers to be alone and left to his own devices when he’s not teaching. When he is teaching, it’s hard to believe he is as quiet of a man as he is, because he is confident and outspoken. He has also been described as a strict teacher, but there haven’t been very many bad reviews on his teaching methods. Draven has always been interested in learning and passing on his knowledge, which is what drew him to teaching at Hogwarts in his favorite subject. Of course, Draven is not without flaws; his quietness gives people the wrong impression and can cause others to avoid him and think he is a rude individual. He has dedicated so much time to study and strengthening his brain that he has neglected his social life and physical exercise, making him physically weak.

Bio\History: Draven was born to a Muggle mother and Wizard father. His mother worked as nurse, and his father worked for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Mysteries. Draven was raised knowing both worlds. He would take trips to Diagon Alley and Quidditch games with his father and attended Muggle schools until the age of eleven when he got his Hogwarts letter. After that, his parents made arrangements to make it look as though he were going off to some sort of Boarding school and he was off to Hogwarts after getting his school things in Diagon Alley. After that, Draven attended Hogwarts, was sorted into Ravenclaw (his father was in Slytheirn), and devoted most of his time to this studies. When the Battle of Hogwarts took place, Draven was only thirteen and was therefore escorted from the school for his own protection.

When the war was over, Draven continued his studies at school. When his Fifth Year came around, he decided to pursue a career in wandmaking and so when he graduated went to work at Ollivander’s, collecting cores for wands and making some under the careful eye of the elderly wand master. He worked there for four years before he grew tired of the work; it wasn’t that he disliked it, he just needed a change of environment. For a change, Draven decided to apply for the job of Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor. The Headmaster was satisfied with his previous school work and decided to hire him. Draven has now been teaching at Hogwarts for sixteen years and has been made the Head of Ravenclaw House.

Appearance:

Wand Type: Ten and a half inches, Willow wood, Thestral Tail Hair Core


Notable skills: Defense Against The Dark Arts (Teaching and Practicality), Wandlore, and Dueling

Patronus Charm: Horned Owl

Pet:

Full Name: Lanora Horus

Age: 23

Blood: Half-Blood

Alignment: Neutral

House: Slytherin Alumni

Personality: Lanora was a good student, and was a little more gentle than some of her fellow Slytherins. But her determination and ambition are high, and the sorting hat placed her in the right house. She has a skill for always keeping calm in stressful situations. Along with that skill, she had a knack for looking at the bigger picture as well as being open-minded. But there is no denying she can get a little full of herself. Lanora hates being belittled or challenged, she holds and bottles emotions, and normally packs a very sharp tongue. And to be frank, she likes her drink now and again. She can be a bit of a joker when she’s comfortable. Although in truth, her eloquence has worked in her favor. She is a good talker, and she always strove to be better than the ones before her. To her, the best thing is to break stereotypes (which this can get out of hand at times), so she became a teacher and studied Astronomy.

Bio\History: Lenora came from a muggle mother and a wizard father. She has a brother, who was never magically inclined, but at the same time he never wanted to be. Her father was so proud of her, but he also pushed her a little too far. He had what she calls, 'his life for her'. In a way, she rebelled (in more ways than one), and had some very ill feelings towards him. Lenora’s mother died when she was fourteen, leaving some hard feelings and putting pressure on the family. Because of this, she always studied and looked to the stars to feel more connected to her mother. She’ll never admit that she was more hurt by the death than she showed. But Lenora vowed to make herself happy (as her mother wanted) and not break under what others wanted.

Appearance:

Wand: 11 inches, Ash wood, Unicorn hair.

Notable skills: Astrology

Patronus Charm: Coyote

Pet: A white barn owl, named Equinox.
