The second wizarding war is over, a distant memory in a new generation who lived through it as children. The magical community of the United Kingdom has slowly recovered, going through a period of exponential growth and recovery to account for lost time. One of the areas deemed most critical for recovery is the Ministry of Magic, and specifically, its departments which keep the wizarding world both safe, and hidden. The Auror Office is among them, still recruiting only the best young wizards in their field, the added incentives of recent times, and an active recruitment drive, has resulted in a fine crop of new recruits. Soon, these fresh agents will have to face the challenges of those selected to defend their fellow wizards and witches from the worst the world has to offer.

This is where you come in, a newly trained Auror. The best and brightest of your peers in combating the threats to the Wizarding World, the dark arts, that some many still fear in these days of rebuilding. Drawn in by stories of the war, by a sense of duty, or by something more personal, you find yourself at the beginning of what is hopefully a long and successful career in defending the Ministry and the people it governs. As with many stories, and many paths, it begins with just a routine mission;

Players will take on the role of recently graduated Aurors in the present day, still very much in the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, canon characters may feature as NPCs, helping to drive the plot, but the roleplay is principally about the player characters, set after the events of the book, but prior to the next generation of Potters/Weasleys etc.

This will be a mature RP set in the Wizarding World, darker, and dealing with arguably more complex themes then the novels. Players should be expected to deal with such adult themes. Overall, we're looking for a medium sized group of people, enough to have close familiar bonds, while still presenting some variety.

IC Rules/Setting Guide

-Original characters only.
-Players are all part of the same 'graduating' class of Auror trainees, and have yet to be involved in their first major case or task.
-Auror training takes three years, and as stated, PCs have just reached the end of that.
-Players can be graduates of any wizarding school from any nation, but everyone is a part of the UK's Ministry of Magic Auror Office.
-While the Second Wizarding War finished decades past, the effects are still present, the Wizarding population is low, if rapidly recovering, and anti-muggle/muggle-born sentiment is frowned upon, openly, at least.

OOC Rules

-The Standard of the RP is generally high-casual. There's no set length specified that I would expect posts to be, but I do expect them to engage well with the scene and/or other players.
-Due to the darker tone of the RP, I'd expect most players to be fairly mature, at the rp comes with a 16+ age rating. That's not a hard rule, but don't expect the tone of the books.
-Character sheets should be posted in the OOC, then when they are accepted, put into the character tab.
-Have fun!

I hope to have my cs done by tonight!

Hi! I'm very much interested, but unfortunately I have no WiFi access for some time until they fix the issue God knows when lol. I hope to get a CS up soon anyway.

Could there be a possibility of reserving facenter claims and colors?

Will start working on my CS and have it up in a few days max

@Dirty Pretty Lies Ah that sucks! You are welcome to declare a face claim and colour, whilst we are keen to get this going as soon as possible we understand if things get in the way.

@AmericoreYay!

Thank you! I hope to get it up soon, but just in case, reserving darkred and Lauren Jauregui as my FC. ^.^

I would like to join, but I won't be able to post a cs for the next few days.

@Ayame No problem! Can't wait to read everyone's ideas :)

How many characters are we allowed to create? @Zenia@Ezekiel

Just the one currently.

Might open it up later but for now one.

@Ezekiel @Zenia


Name: Dexter Montague
Age: 21
Lineage: The Montague Family, son of Graham Montague. Half-Blood
School/house: Hogwarts/Hufflepuff
Patronus: Manx Cat

Personality: Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." Yea, yea Dad I got it. A montra that would have to be repeated to Dex almost on a daily basis growing up. To be bold was to be courageous to him. Why would I stay silent when I knew I was right? I witness a random person call someone else a mudblood, naturally you are supposed to get in their face and "correct" them. I know, it has gotten me in trouble in the past but so what? If I don't act then I have a higher chance of regretting my choices then not acting at all. Laced with this confidence in action it was supplemented with his clown like personality. "If I can't beat them heads up, then I might as well try and knock their mind off kilter with a humorous comment or two." Not one for losing, not one for letting someone get away with a terrible act that didn't align with his morals, Dex would skirt the line of a positive morality. However, his love of competition would always play the devil's advocate in his mind. To slow down might do him good every now and again. That is, if the bastard ever listened to his own advice.

Bio: Graham Montague was a star Slytherin chaser. Brutal, cunning, and always searching to be one step ahead of his opponents. This was the reign that Dexter picked up upon attending Hogwarts. The test of time would do it's work on Dexter's father. Cool, collected, and worried about the traits that once belonged to him that he witnessed in his son. Would Dexter heed his father's advice? Of course not! Why would he? Knowing his father's track record back in school he only had one goal; to beat his father's records anyway he could.

From day one of being sorted into Hufflepuff, which was a shocker to anyone that knew Dex, all he did was search for the next step on this school's stairway to dominance. Year 1 he was recruited to play beater for Huffelpuff's team. Everyone saw this as the typical place that Dex would reside. Although, it was for reasons that weren't apparent to his peers. Sure, Dex had an in your face nature, always wanting to bring his athletic being to the next level, but he had other goals in mind here. "If I can take the Beater spot, then I can be damn sure that everyone else on my team are well protected because I trust myself to take the beating necessary to win."

Was it true distrust for others? Not in the slightest. He just had utter confidence in his own life. Too much confidence in the eyes of his instructors. Teacher's would chit chat amongst themselves on Dexter's academics over the years. Being called things such as "Thick skulled" and "Class clown" would define him to the T. With this being said, his academia obviously suffered early on. That wouldn't sit well with Dexter, oh no it wouldn't.

Upon his second year he did the unthinkable. Dexter dropped from the upcoming Quidditch season. One of the best beaters they had witnessed in years dropping out of no where? His other classmates were obviously furious with him. Their words fell upon deaf ears though. Focus was set, eyes glued to the future, he would not be known as a failure. It wasn't hard to explain to his friends that what would be the point of him staying on the team if his grades caused him to no longer be apart of the school at all? Did he want to say screw it and play with his teammates? You bet your ass he did! Mature minds would reign supreme on that day however. This was the defining thought of his second year at school.

This abrupt move in his life actually lead him to a new passion that would rival that of athletics. The side subject of Protective enchantments taught in classes such as Charms and Defense against the dark arts really fit his fancy. Being able to cast an enchantment that kept himself, or others, out of sight seemed like a pretty useful thing down the road. So he took to the subject matter like a fish to water. Running wild with it over his final years at Hogwarts.

A proud graduate of the Wizarding school, and gaining a few years of maturity while he was at it really made his father smile that day. Dexter was proud sure, but as per usual he was on to the next stepping stone. With Protection at the forefront of his mind all he could think about was going the route of all great protectors. That path had a sign lit to the brim at the front reading "Auror Training". Poised to excel, the young man sprinted on to his future. Nothing was going to stand in his way of being the best Auror he could be and making sure he did everything he could to fight for every Witch and Wizard.

@AyameLooks good! I've done the maths however and we are planning on starting in sept 2016, which means Kiera MUST be 22 or older depending on her birthday :)
Once that's fixed go ahead and post it in the tab :D

We will be discusding relations between our characters in the discord over the next few days before we start, woukd suggest everyone checks there regularly.

Yo, room for another character?

Izaiah Perntide - "When multiple Alpha's attempt to lead the pack, one of two things occur: You will get two wolves challenging each other in the utmost best manner to enhance the pack, or blood will be shed on that day." Iz knows how to push my damn buttons that is for sure. Isn't hard for me to respect the lad though. Just because you want to best a fool doesn't mean you can't give him props. Always has to bring up Quidditch at school though doesn't he? "Ohhh your team only one the Cup when you were off the team! Oh thissss, oh thatttt." Smug bastard. Still, the boy helps me get better even if I will never utter a word to him.

Mandy Ellison - "A warm soul can ease an icey heart at any point they see fit." The girl knows her Charms that is for damn sure. I will be damned if she isn't charming to boot. Hell, if it wasn't for her too, I probably would have flunked a number of written tests in Auror training. Always feel welcomed at her table...even if he had to sit next to Iz. He wasn't a dunce, they flowed together like a river in it's bed. Both could interchange roles if necessary but they seemed to enhance each other's game if need be. This helped keep my fire lit on striving to be better then both. Hey, friends can be rivals too right?

Keira Summers - "In the case that an alpha loses it's site, a well determined pack mate can set the focus back straight and whip away any doubt of the mission ahead." Keira was a smart, young woman. Hell, the girl was more than just smart in my eyes. If a reserved backbone laid in anyone's body it was Kei's. I remember several times in their Defense against the Dark arts course together that she legit stood up and let another classmate know they were wrong. Just flat out told the bastard! It was fantastic! You have to keep friends like that close in these times in order to get the job done right I feel.

Demetria Raquelle Graves - "Her eyes would light a fire in his soul it rivaled the flames of the Phoenix on the horizon" Roxy is a fire cracker that is for damn sure. I remember the first time we actually met. Wait...no yes, I do remember. It was damn Quidditch! The first match back in year one. A beater on the Gryffindor team that caught my eye. Her tenacity rivaled my own at the time, and I hated it. She was good, damn good and I wanted to best her performance at any chance I got. Most of the time they spent together was on the Quidditch pitch for years to come. Once Auror school came about she actually approached me for tutoring of Protective Enchantments. Why me, well I mean obviously it was because of my efforts to learn as much as I could on the subject. However, this would help me out because I was god awful with transfiguration still. Oh well, that is the past now. As the present shows we are dating now. Auror training really helped us out in getting to know one another better. Yea, better enough in fact that she knows every way under the damn sun on how to piss me off! Little vixen. Non the less, it is why I am learning to adore the girl. We shall see where this goes.

@Ezekiel @Zenia Lemme know if this look alright. Any additions for everyone are more than welcome. We can fledge out our relations more as seen fit by you all. Just give me a holler

Relations

Mandy Ellison

A spoilt rich girl with too much time for herself and her looks, with the one redeeming quality of being a damn good witch. At least, that's the outward opinion Izaiah gives of Mandy, in reality, he'd be hard pressed to remember a time he didn't think about her, ever since they first met in a Herbology class he had no interest in. Watching her fall in love with his best friend was tough, something that has made him overtly bitter towards her, but which is expressed in a form of argumentative banter than can be rather entertaining, for both the pair, and their peers.

Dexter Montague

The closest thing Izaiah has to a true friend among the current class of Aurors, but even then, their relationship is defined by competition. Both beaters, both driven in sports, academics and now Aurorhood, Izaiah will never let him forget how he missed out on the Quidditch cup, and in return, Dexter will point to how it took Izaiah two years longer to make starter on the Slytherin team. Still, they are good friends, and the competition only pushes them both on.

Demetria

She does get credit for having been a professional quidditch player, and yet more for giving it up to be an Auror. While it would be inaccurate to say Izaiah doesn't like Demetria, he finds her a little too mother hen for his liking, perhaps something of the innate optimism that seems to define those of her house is just a little too far for the pragmatic Penrose, but he wouldn't go so far as to say she actively ignores him, he just struggles to take her seriously, despite her clear ability.

Keira

Bit of a booksmart, but appreciates her for both her ability and matter-of-fact nature, refreshing in comparison to the bleeding hearts Dexter and Demetria (affectionately known as the Double Ds when discussed together) and less extreme than the Queen Bitch act that is Mandy. Knows not to pick unnecessary fights with her, or they'll just drag on between a rock and a hard place.

@SouffleGirl123 Yes! Post a cs up here when you can and we'll take a look :)
