‘Original Order of the Phoenix,' growled Moody. 'Found it last night when I was looking for my spare Invisibility Cloak, seeing as Podmore hasn't had the manners to return my best one.... Thought people might like to see it.'
Better to see it than live it!
The year is 1970 and Lord Voldemort has just proclaimed himself Dark Lord. In speeches that have reached all corners of the wizarding population he has promised to topple the established order. Muggles will be subjugated, squibs segregated and pure wizards will reign supreme.
No more hiding, no more secrecy.. merely bend the knee to Lord Voldemort and live as kings.
The ministry is officially at war but hampered by a cancerous network of spies within its midst, fear and distrust are an oozing canker infecting the wizarding population and stalling any resistance.
"Imagine that Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able to stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing...the Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere...panic...confusion...that's how it used to be.” Sirius Black
Yet from the darkness some fought back. After the latest and largest mass muggle killing(over 30 muggles killed with suspected giant involvement) the Order of the Phoenix was born.
They at least would fight back!
This rp will start with founding members of the Order of the Phoenix and detail their attempts to take the fight to Voldemort.
What I'm looking for
I’m looking for 4-7 people to take on the roles of some of the less defined characters from the original order of the Phoenix
I’m looking for high casual writers
Post rate of once a week
General RP courtesy, be good to your fellow rpers, respect my role as the gm and lets have a great bit of fun building a story for ourselves
What I'm offering you
A chance to fill in some of the gaps in Rowling’s story.
It took 5 death eaters to kill Gideon and Fabian Prewett. How did they fight like heroes?
What did the order actually do in that first wizarding war?
Why did Dorcas Meadowes deserve the attention of Voldemort himself?
How did James and Lily defy Voldemort three times?
We know lots but we have an 11 year gap to fill until the rp will end with the fall of Voldemort. Please note I will not be accepting original characters but I do feel with the very little we know about characters like the Prewetts, the McKinnons and the Bones we can create semi original characters.
The characters I am looking for to begin with will be (at least 4 of):
Marlene McKinnon- Kaalee
Benjy Fenwick
Edgar Bones
Caradoc Dearborn
Gideon Prewett -Tendo
Fabian Prewett
Dorcas Meadowes- Lady Hestia
If the rp goes well and we build a solid foundation around the above characters I may look to expand into more established characters. Please note as Lily and James did not join the order til around 1978 I will not be recruiting for them (Lupin, Sirius, Wormtail and Frank/ Alice Longbottom) until later. My feelings are that as all of the above will most definitely kick the bucket at some point those who have helped to build the story will get first choices on further characters.
