I will express my interest. Though, I would like to wait for the OOC and for more information before commiting myself.

Are we allowed to apply for a teacher?

Edit:
Are all students gonna be in the same year? If so, which one?
Are all teacher positions open or just the ones you've written down? (Some are missing)
How canon will the wizarding world be? Did you research about the wizarding world in 1480 and Hogwarts' history? As well as each of the fantasy creatures you'll be using in this RP? Such as goblins. How much exactly do you rely on JK Rowling while creating this 1480 world?

If it's allowed to take a teacher for a character, I'd be interested in Care of Magical Creatures. Though that one is not listed on your main post.

Will the teacher CS allow the person to choose a former Hogwarts house as well as a wand? Or shall that too be left blank for you to decide?
Is there a certain age range that you want the teachers to be? Maybe very young teachers don't appeal to you or too old ones don't. I don't know.

Are we allowed to have connections/relationships with another person's character? That question especially goes for all who are Hogwarts year 2 and higher since then you'd know the people you go to school / work with already. Right?

It think that's all on questions I have so far.

1) No, I'm only allowing certain people that I know and have played with before to apply. It's nothing personal, but I don't want to give power to a stranger and have to take it away.

2) Yes, I think I am going with that, but I think that(because of reasons you listed) we will be going with 2nd year. We might go for year three, if there's a heavy push for it. What does everyone think?

3) Lots are missing. There's so many subjects that exist in the books but are barely touched on. Since we're only second year, we won't be using any of those classes. I'm also taking some liberties with subject matter.

4) Pretty canon, but not 100%, which would make the game unplayable just for missing information. I've done quite a bit of research, the biggest insight we have into the wizarding world at the time is knowing when certain laws were passed. Occasionally we get a glimpse of a time through a mentioned event, but we don't get a very complete picture. I rely on JK as much as I can, but I take liberties when information is incomplete or vague.
I will try to directly contradict canon as little as possible.

5) N/A, since teachers won't be available generally.

6) Again, teachers aren't generally available, though for those of you(and you know who you are) who might apply as a teacher, the house is too important to your backstory to leave out, so go ahead and include both it and wand.

7) You are encouraged to make connections. You are strongly encouraged to ask your fellow players first.

And my character is going to be a Prewett, in case that affects anyone's decision on families and such. I don't mind having siblings/cousins/maybe even a twin? Just ask.

Had a busy week, but tomorrow is my day off, so look for it then. I've been working on an ooc post that's more complete than the one I have up.

By the by, we are going with year three after all.

@Gisk Astronomy is a subject that students have since year one. It is missing on your list on the main post.

But in the case of not being allowed to play a teacher, my interest shrinks heavily and I may not wanna participate.

I'll give it some thought before I decide completely. But I'll probably not wanna do this one.

@KahleenCuthald I'd rather you not participate with dwindling interest. If the role of the players isn't interesting to you, you shouldn't join.

Here's the OOC. There's a few things I'm waiting on, but at the moment we're ready to go. Feel free to drop characters. But put them in the OOC, not the character tab.

@GiskI am 99% sure I am going to join. I gotta make sure you're okay with me not posting every day, though. Especially in the following few weeks, because I will be travelling. I usually prefer slower paced RP's and make a post every other day or something. I do read up on it all, though, and I don't post one-liners, so don't worry about that.

@Gisk I had a lot of ideas and a whole character + history in mind already. But in that case, I'm gone. Good luck.

@Sigurd As long as you keep up and don't tangle us up, you'll be fine. I don't think anyone will be posting every day, though I think when an RP first launches there's often a rapid fire spurt of activity.

Also, I appreciate the likes and thanks, everyone, but when everyone puts one on the same post I get like seven notifications and I have to click each one individually to get rid of them.
