[OOC] Hogwarts

[Benzaiten]

@Joshua Tamashii Someone has been interested in a teacher position. If they continue to be interested in it and make a CS they could be the one to guide Amelia through it :)

[Joshua Tamashii]

@KahleenCuthald would be nice. Amelia learning spells should be interesting, since she'll have to learn to cast them nonverbally. Which is usually... fifth or sixth year if I recall.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@KahleenCuthald oh yeah, these might help for people when they chose their wands: https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/wand-woods and https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/wand-cores

[Benzaiten]

@Joshua Tamashii Sixth year. That's true. I've been thinking about that already too. But let's not go there yet. First we need to get all CS done and up. Then we continue with the story :)

@Lady Hestia

It's perfect. You can move her.

[Benzaiten]

I can see students flooding in for this.

Is the transfiguration teacher position open?

@Gareth

Do you still wanna make that teacher? I would be glad about it.

[XAnthProper]

I am more then happy to RP a teacher to come and get you @Joshua Tamashii I can do so after work today or send you a sample then or whatever :3

I'm so ready!!!!

[Benzaiten]

There are still CS missing?? Tell me if there is anyone of you who haven't posted their CS yet and wanna be in this RP. I don't wanna start without you accidentally ;)

[Asuu]

Are we starting today? I have a family get-together to go to in like twenty minutes, so I might get a post in tonight.

Also, I absolutely suck at playing younger characters. It's been six years since I was eleven, haha, I'm not exactly sure how mature they are, and how developed their personalities and minds are. Just assume that Jason is a bit more childlike than his CS states. Not much, but just a bit.

[Benzaiten]

@Asuu I did not plan on starting today but I would do it if all people put their CS up and are ready to start.

Just try to represent the child as best as you can. And if there are any doubts or questions there is always the option to Google childhood development or whatever.

@XAnthProper

I think you need to make a Character Sheet for your teacher first.

[XAnthProper]

For sure! @Joshua Tamashii I was just saying that I would start to make a teacher if you wanted someone to help guide you to the school. Someone being a Teacher played by me :3

[Benzaiten]

@XAnthProper You already have a character though?

[XAnthProper]

oh... @KahleenCuthald I thought someone was doing both, my bad! I'll keep my posts in the student zone! :3

Character Sheet

Full Name: Daniel Mars
Nicknames: Danny
Realistic picture:

Hider

Blood: Half Blood
Date of Birth: August 30, 1987
Age:29
Wand:His wand is:
Beech wood with a unicorn hair core, 14" and has solid flexibility.
Job:Transfiguration Teacher and Head of House Ravenclaw for 7 years.
Family: Mother Michelle Mars Ravenclaw, Father Evan Mars Hufflepuff , Sister Lily Mars 26 Ravenclaw.

Personality:He is a positive person who goes out of his way to, "How do you do?, What are you up to today?". It can be called curiousity or friendlyness-honestly though for Daniel he is curious and friendly. He does have a competitive spirit one such, even when it looks like he might lose-he will then try only harder to win. And if he is sweating and out of breath, he will stand up straight and do his best to hide that he had given his best effort to win.

One of his mottos is:"If you show no weakness, no one will mess with you."

He loves to joke around, sometimes at the worst times but he finds it funny to still try and get a laugh. He loves tricking people and playing around with what is expected. Gambling is another of his favourite things, as it makes him money for minimal effort, well physical effort anyway.



History: Ah the magical world of Hogwarts. Daniel Mars had it better than some as he grew up. His house (well the family house...), had multiple levels to it, passed down from his great grandfather. A man Daniel never met but often heard great things about. It was no wonder because apparently he was an Auror and he taught his family everything he knew about fighting against the Dark arts and Dark wizards. He had wanted them to be prepared in case the family ever had to fight one of these low
lifes.

Later though, he wouldn't have known that most of Daniel's extended family tried to be Aurors themselves. The only ones who had actually succeded in passing the training were Daniel's parents. His mother through a natural gift in spells and his muggle born father after meeting his mother-hearing her talk about her life-he fell in love with her and wanted to be with her, so he pursued it as well and was determined to be an Auror. So he could be by her side always.

Getting back to their son Daniel, he was spoiled, had a fancy wizard's chess set at the age of five, a good broom at the age of 11 for quidditch. After a second try out he did make the quidditch team. (It was funny you would think that the parents might of bought their kid a broom after he made the team? But no that's not what happened.) Being a beater was wicked, he could take out all his hogwarts class problems/or whatever upset him out on other people-by hitting bludgers at people with no consequence. It was 'part of the game after all', (the people hit with said bludgers didn't much like him tho.

Years passed he stayed playing quidditch, playing tricks and pranks on his friends, he loved to joke around and his friends knew no harm was done. He also loved to gamble, any excuse he had to do so was great. If there was a duel going on between students he wanted to be there or a quidditch game going on between different houses (Not Ravenclaw, that was the one thing he didn't do.... He didn't wager bets on himself... he didn't want the extra pressure...) or whatever excitement there was-he'd usually be there, make a wager on an outcome and be yelling "Don't you let me down! I got a Galleon bet on you!!"

Then the later years came in Hogwarts, he got his O.W.L.s easily enough for such a joker you'd think Daniel would of easily failed them, but he actually Got an O. in everything except Divination. "Bunch of mumbo jumbo." He would say everytime he had to listen to the teacher talk... Maybe he just didn't want to say that it was his fault-that he simply didn't "get it..." Either way its always been a sore subject for him, so much so that he has never told anyone what his score was for that class.

He then took his N.E.W.T.S. got pretty much the exact same scores, as his Owls, which he was proud of. (His parents had a fit though, as they didn't know his owl scores or his newts grades) He just didn't see the reason to have to show his marks to them, as a result he ended up being kicked out of the house the day he graduated from Hogwarts.

"Aw, well..."

"I'll get a job somewhere..."

(Oh yeah forgot to mention, Daniel's Sister.... Basically did well in Hogwarts, A lot of people liked her. And ended up working as a security guard for the Ministry of Magic.)

Basically he decided to work the magical "construction field." It was actually pretty fun, he passed the interview got the job as a 'laborer'. Basically he had to levitate doors and wooden beams and all sorts of stuff and then bring it together. Obviously he used tools and stuff all operated by magic, (tools needed to hold the stuff together... Muggle ideas had some value sometimes... Well at least this idea spared a little magic..). Within a couple days, he not only put the stuff together, he made it look good with an eye for design. Then he got promoted
and enjoyed the job for 4 years.

Eventually though he got bored of it, and took some time off to go visit Hogwarts, his old stomping grounds. It seemed stuff there was going splendidly. Sadly though they had a transfiguration teacher position open and there was no one to fill it. One of the teachers who had been around for a long time recommended Danny take it. He wasn't sure at first but then he remembered how he performed in his transfiguration owls and he knew he could easily handle the job.

To his surprise when he accepted the position, the headmaster also pointed out that the head of House Ravenclaw was also vacant. So he took both jobs and has held them until now.

(Oh yeah, he wrote a letter to the construction company that he could maybe work a couple weeks when Hogwarts was out... It didn't go over too well... Needless to say he lost his job there...)

Pet: None

Likes: A chocolate frog.

Dislikes: Lies.

[Benzaiten]

@Gareth please add his age behind the birth date so we don't have to calculate it ;)

Add a "job: transfiguration teacher & Ravenclaw head master" or something like it to be more easily found on the CS. And also add for how long he's been working in Hogwarts to that additional section.

Apart from those small things it's good.

A student, Amelia, is muggle born and mute. She would need a guidance to help her buy her Hogwarts stuff at the diagon alley. Would Daniel take on that task?

[Gareth]

Yeah, Daniel can help Amelia out.

I presume the Headmaster (boss of the school), would give the task to Daniel.

It's funny how the Headmaster dude knows things like that.

Also Edited my sheet, if you want take a second look ;) ?

[Benzaiten]

@Gareth Awesome! So that's settled then I guess. Very good. Move him to Char tab
