The Wizards of America have avoided many troubles of the wizards of the modern age. Voldemort and his death eaters stayed mostly in Europe and while there was a frighting prospect of his coming to America, it was a nightmare that never occurred. Now thirty years later the American wizards have their own problems arising. A group of anti-secrecy wizards called the cloaks have come out and are threatening to out the entire North American wizarding system.

Unlike the European Wizards, The American wizards and muggles do not fair well with each other. Muggle presidents before found it unpatriotic that wizards don't join muggle armies or aid in muggle wars. American wizards and muggles are two very separate communities throughout The US and Canada now. This separation goes so far that North american muggles don't even know that wizards are all around them. Unveiling the North American wizards could lead to a massacre and a civil war.

Our troubles lie elsewhere. At RiverWing outside of New York city, The finest Wizarding school in the entire Western Hemisphere. Here young wizards learn magic for 8 years before joining the ranks of wizard adults. There is word that The Cloaks are trying to gain members, even in unlikely places like Riverwing. What will you do?

Most wizards live in wizard exclusive towns dotted all over the Us and Canada, a few live in muggle cities or suburbs or even towns. Students get their invitation letter to RiverWing a week before the school opens. The letter also functions as a portkey to the school. First years parents are welcome to come (unless they are muggles), and are able to apparate themselves back to their homes.

North American Wizards are prejudice against muggle borns and werewolves. They receive lower pay and are generally negatively stereotyped. Half-bloods are little better, though most pure bloods will simply 'look over' the fact that a half-blood has muggle parentage as well as wizard blood. It isn't uncommon for muggle-borns to be pressured to leave their muggle families for the 'more sophisticated' society of pure-bloods.

The cloaks are a political movement popular with younger wizards and non-pure bloods for its face value of equality. There goal is to end wizard secrecy world wide (and establish wizards as the dominant human, they aren't public about this part). They appear in the American news paper The Salem daily on occasion though are often written off as extremists.

RiverWing splits its students into grade levels and gender rather than houses. There is a Girls dorm and a Boys dorm located on opposite wings of the building, however most students only use the dorms to sleep or to study. RiverWing has many more preferred areas for students to meet their friends such as the court yard or dining hall. Older students are aloud to go into New York during weekends and enjoy the rich magical history and many magical locations. Additionally Students can enjoy Quidditch matches and several school dances throughout the term. There is one ghost at RiverWing; a young witch named Hilda Hampkent, and a muggleborn murdered in a school prank. She is always miserable and just wants to actually die. She hangs out in the herbology tower.

1. Have Fun
Don't be miserable and make others miserable. Roleplaying is about creating a story with other writers and having a good time. If you want to drop out make sure you aren't stopping someone else from having a good time. Let us know you're leaving in the ooc.

2. Respect
Please respect my decisions, roleplay and your fellow roleplayers. I get it some characters won't get along, but don't make your character a bitch or a know-it-all. There is nothing more annoying. Also, please respect other people's characters. Absolutely no fighting in the OOC.

3. Characters
Make your Character realistic and interesting, please. Also, if someone has submitted a character before you did, make sure you read over their character sheet before submitting your own, just to be sure that they are not similar. This is a realistic, Harry Potter themed roleplay. Witches and Wizards have weaknesses and flaws! Remember that. If you think anything different then this roleplay is not for you. Maybe don't make your character one of those sad, wimpy types either those characters get boring really fast. And don't everyone make a female character please. Please use a real life image for you character. No anime or illustrations. No canon characters or anyone related to cannon characters.

4. PG-13
I am fine with a lot of things when it comes to swearing, gore and violence but when the clothes start coming off, fade to black or take it to the PMs. This is part of the Guild rules. Kissing and that sort of thing is okay.

5.Posting
I am expecting at least two paragraphs (10 sentences before dialog) from each person. That means that I will accept anything close to two paragraphs. For you speed posters out there, please allow at least two people to post after your last post before posting again. Please be committed and active in at least IC I understand that not everyone is an OOC chat kind of person.
As for the format put you characters name at the top of your post, and any @mentions at the very bottom.

6. Commitment
Also another important rule. If you are accepted then please don't post one or two posts then disappear. If you want to leave make sure to get to where your character won't be missed. Don't drop out in the middle of a conversation.
