[OOC] Harry Potter: The New Era

[Gisk]

@Fxcail yeah, more or less. Someone who has either trance like prophecies, or actual prophetic dreams or something.

But scratch that anyway, I'm going with a different character idea.

@canaryrose

Question before I make my CS cause... I Like this idea a lot somehow ^^

Can the character be a grandchild of a canon character? Cause I've always been a big fan of Draco Malfoy and I would like it a lot if I could make a grand child from him. She won't be like always contacting him or something, to me in the RP he even could have died or something.. I just think that would be really awesome

@BeautifulSnow

Canary has not been in this thread in months. Someone else was about to start his own RP since everyone was so excited, but the that person also hasn't been on in eight days.

I'm currently thinking about trying to get one started myself, but I would need someone else to help take the responsibility of driving the game forward.

Just went over the last few pages and am tagging people who were discussing things last, anyone still interested in a HP RP(very likely still in the Free section), and anyone willing to be a co-GM?

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Gisk I'm still interested but I'm terrible at GMing so I'll have to say no to that. Are we still going for a more modern timeline? If so I've got a few questions about dark magic whenever the thread is set up.

[Hidden Lilly]

@Gisk I'm so down... but just like @Pyromaniacwolf I'm not good at GM-ing. I've tried in the past and it always ends rather slowly and painfully...

@Pyromaniacwolf@Hidden Lilly

Well we can put a pin in co GM. Would either of you be willing to at least play a teacher, who could help create events to keep things moving?

I'm definitely thinking modern-ish, I don't know if we're talking starting 09/01/2017, or maybe just a few years after the Battle of Hogwarts. I did one(sadly did not get far) that took place two years after the BoH, the school had spent one year rebuilding and it was the first year it was open after the events of the books, the RP focused on an illicit Dark Arts club run by students who had been there two years before, when the Carrows ran DADA.

The trouble with doing it literally this year is that a lot of canon character's children would be in school at the time, and I don't want that, so maybe we'd be looking at a few years in the past from now.

Let me know what you guys think for time.

In the mean time, @Pyromaniacwolf what are your questions?

@Gisk

Count me in and if you want I wanna help with GMing / keep the RP going ^^

Edit: Oh and must thank you for the mention and answer on my question cause I kinda started losing hope.. :)

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Gisk I'm essentially just curious about the attitudes towards dark magic and what's exactly on the table in terms of learning stuff about it. The character I want to use/ made has death eater relatives that were killed during the battle of Hogwarts so I want him to be dabbling in dark magic at some point.

@Gisk

I think 2010 would be a fairly good year for the roleplay to take place in (sorry for just popping up but iv been following this for a short time and was interested to see if it would lead to a roleplay) given the battle of Hogwarts took place in 1998 as we all know and 2015 was when Harrys son Albus goes to Hogwarts for his first year. His eldest is already at Hogwarts in a thru through 2017. Give the time frames 2010 would limit most cannon characters and sort of remain somewhat modern if not exactly modern. I would say the years past 2010 would be when respective sons and daughters of cannon characters would start attending Hogwarts in bigger groups. Although you could always just create and alternate storyline that does not involve cannon characters going to Hogwarts at all and do it in 2017 to be fully modern.

@Pyromaniacwolf So my main concern will be that everyone stays on more or less equal footing. To this end, I'm thinking of having everyone list their strengths and weaknesses. The way I was going to do it was have them list their core subjects in three categories, strong, average and weak. You can have any in average, but for every one you put in strong, one has to go in weak.

To actually answer your question: as long as the dark spells he knows are level appropriate, I don't mind the nature of them. I think it's heavily implied that Draco knew spells because of the darker connections his family had, even in earlier years. So, if we're starting first year, I don't want to see Sectum Sempra.

We could even revive my Dark Arts society, as a side plot. Could be fun, if more characters have the interest.

@Sergei Romanov Yeah, that sounds about right, if no one has any objections.

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Gisk yeah that works, I'm not even sure if there is a difference between dark magic and not dark magic at lower levels but whatever. Looks like my character will suck at quiditch ( we're counting that as a subject right?)

Also , yeah that seems like a fair enough time to set the RP.

[Gisk]

I am counting flying as a class. I probably won't count History of Magic or Astronomy, just because I don't want people shoving them in the bottom so they can keep DADA and Charms on top without sacrificing anything.

I'm working on a thread.

Here's the new thread so we can stop cluttering this one.
