Hello All!

With character sheets due Thursday or Friday I figured direction on how to submit would help people. Would be best to have you PM me your character sheet for review and discussion.

So you want us to PM the sheets?

@KZOMBI3
Yes that is correct. For those whose are due today (January 23rd please have it in my inbox no later than 8 PM your time.

@World Traveler How in-depth should we be with the pre-hogwarts and hogwarts part of our characters timeline? Because, my character is muggle born and as far as I’m aware nothing exciting happened at hogwarts in that time. Should I just be like, this is what my character’s life was like before magic, also he went to a magic school for an uneventful 7 years then get into the grittiness of being an auror in a post-Voldemort world?

@Melkor

Feel free to focus on what is important for your character and the development you are hoping to get out of them with the story. That said a vast majority of this story will call back to their time at Hogwarts so having some depth to it so while I am not expecting anyone to have cured all the worlds problems in their time at the school they likely had some important things happen to them. No need to be super specific is the bottom line but do have an idea of what their life was like before and at school!

To give people something to see as an example here is my character. Please note I haven't done much in the way of formatting the CCS so it doesn't "Look" pretty at the moment lol

Name: Devin Coal

Appearance:

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff

Professor of: Care for Magical Creatures

Biography: Born on April 2nd Devin was a wonderful addition to an already busy household. While he was an only child his family had very firm roots in the muggle world with his mother being a school principal and his father working as a professor of Zoological Medicine at the local university. He fell in love with animals of all kinds through his father. When his letter to Hogwarts came it was no small matter. Learning that an entirely new educational system was in store for Devin came as a bigger shock to his parents than the simple fact that he was a wizard. Earning a very rare and short tour of the school Devin’s mother finally accepted that her son was not going to muggle school. Instead he would be attending Hogwarts. As well as a muggle summer school she selected for his first three years.

The social and easy-going attitude did Devin well at Hogwarts. With plenty of other ‘new to the magic world’ students and even more students wanting to make friends he quickly found himself several social groups to pass the time in the halls between class. Around his fourth year Devin began to invest more time and energy into his Care of Magical Creatures course. With the help of his friends’ network and several recommendations from teachers at school he started taking summer internships with different members of the magical creatures’ field. These opportunities helped Devin decide to commit to the field and after graduating his 7th year with an already impressive resume he began to look for a job.

With school behind him Devin was able to find work quickly in the magical world. He spent his time working with several different ministries drafting and providing subject matter expertise for a new agreement to better protect and assist with large sized magical creatures that migrate over large distances. The role meant traveling a lot which he enjoyed immensely. His travels allowed him to continue his own research and has given birth to a new hobby of his – Muggle Bird Watching. When he got the letter from the new Hogwarts Headmaster inviting him to take the position of professor of Care for Magical Creatures his initial thought was to politely decline; however, curiosity got the better of him and he later accepted when he heard there was a stall in some of the programs the agreement had promised.

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: In his 3rd year Devin was given detention for skipping class with some friends. Their punishment was assisting the groundskeeper and Herbology professor with some basic gardening and gathering in the Forbidden Forest. During their visit to the Forbidden Forest the group happened upon a meadow where a small group of Unicorns were grazing.

Devin was unbearable for nearly a month after this as he talked about it nonstop. His obsession was part fascination over the beauty of the creatures and some parts the fact that his wands core was a unicorn hair. Needless to say detention had to get more creative due to the fact that for a week after Devin was doing nearly all he could to get the same punishment.

OOC is up and running!
