High-Casual Hogwarts Roleplay

[TheHangedMan]

@Infamous Auror Been awhile since I'd joined a HP RP. Still got room for one more?

[Infamous Auror]

@TheHangedMan You would have to be the last one. Seems we got more than I originally intended (x but I really like the turn out. ^-^

[YoshiSkittlez]

@Infamous Auror I think it would be cool to have a teacher character mostly for a relationship some of the students wouldn't be able to have with one another. Let's face it, Harry couldn't have done very much without Hagrid lol.

But I'll have to think on it a bit - see what kind of characters we get. But I will most definitely be making a student as well.

@Infamous Auror How many people are allowed in this roleplay? I saw you mentioned 5-6 people in the original post but it seems like you've expanded that.

[AcerRo]

I"ve never done an HP roleplay. I'd be intrested if there is still room.

[Prints Avoid]

Thanks, but I'm just gonna go ahead and sit out. Y'all have fun

[Weird Tales]

@Infamous Auror she sure didn't do them any favors in the books

[Shifter_Master]

@Infamous Auror I've got no problem waiting

@TheHangedMan I see I shall be joining another magical school with you

[Infamous Auror]

@YoshiSkittlez Sounds good to me :)

@AcerRo As much as I wish that I could say yes, I'm going to have to say no :( I will keep you updated though on whether there will be room in the future. :]

@Prints Avoid Safe travels, friend.

@Weird Tales She didn't do many people favors. Ranging through all the houses lol Each house has had their share of not having favors done for them. I think my house got off the easiest, though hahaha

@Shifter_Master thank you!

Alright, I got the newest villains for the Potterverse...

The Knights of the Round Table.

*dodges the thrown objects* Hold on, let me explain how the most iconic heroes of western literature could be bad guys!

Merlin is real in Harry Potter. That means King Arthur and his tales are also real. For those of you who've read the legends, Merlin is one of the VERY few magical forces on the side of Arthur and his Knights. So many adventures involve evil spellcasters, or enchantments, or illusions, or curses.

Culwhych and Olwen, Gawain and the Green Knight, the begoting of Mordred, the trials of Lancelot, and countless other tales... Magic is a tool to hinder or hurt the Knights. It's unnatural and unholy to Arthurs Christian Kingdom. It has helped in the past, but barring Merlin, Arthur and Co never really meet a friendly magic user. The two biggest ones, Nimue and Morgan Le Fae, actively seek the downfall of Camelot.

Fast foward a dozen or so centuries.

The organization has never died out. For centuries, the Knights of the Round Table existed in some form or another, actively seeking to protect the British Empire from the scourge of magic. On ocxasion, they've been forced to work together for the greater good with their magical others. But ultimately, the only good witch has only ever been a dead one.

Cue the present day. Grindelwald started ww2. Voldemorts began a new reign of terror that plagued Britain for years. The Knights, all muggles, but with the resources of a former empire at their disposal, have convened the Round once more. Enough power has been gathered on their side. They have the armaments to strike. They have the intel. Now, they must finish their Order's centuries long task.

The witches and wizards of Britain must be driven out. The blood of Morgana Le Fae cleansed from British soil. For only then will Arthur wake from his accursed slumber in Avalon, and return to forge The Kingdom of Camelot.

Thoughts?

@Dawnscroll

Sounds like the plot of "The Order 1886"...

[Dawnscroll]

Never heard of it. Any good?

[GingerBoi123]

@DawnscrollIt's a pretty video game...

But not a very good game...

[Dawnscroll]

Alright.... you got a better idea for a villain that isnt "Evil Wizard seeks destruction"?

[TheHangedMan]

Alright.... you got a better idea for a villain that isnt "Evil Wizard seeks destruction"?

@Dawnscroll

"Evil Muggle seeks destruction"?

[NarcissisticPotato]

What about something internal with ancient magic used for nefarious purposes? Something like blood magic? Just a thought! :P

[Dawnscroll]

@TheHangedMan Look, if you guys wanna fight Mecha-Hitler, Im down for it. But isnt 90% of all fiction 'Evil muggle seeks destruction'? A morally black vs white fight is boring. Lets make it grey vs grey and have some moral quandry with what we're doing~

@NarcissisticPotato
You might have something there. But instead of a specific kind... why not just Magic in general?

The Old Magic and the Old Religion. Powers so great, they were neither good or evil, but merely were, are awakening once again. The magic of the standing stones. The magic of fith fath, and the old runes. The Magic that Merlin harnessed, to bring Storms and Winds upon the enemies of Arthur. The magical creatures of the world grow bold for the pendulum has at long last swung the other way. There is a new power rising. The fae folk stir in the deep woods. The Tuatha De Dannan awake from beneath their mounds. The Sidhe are once again appearing at the cross roads. All signs point to not simply Hogwarts, but beneath the very foundation of its stones, and a story once lived when crane, wolf, bear, and boar once lived still roamed the wilds of Albion.

The students of Hogwarts will uncover the source of these phenomena, and in doing so, set the future of the Magical World.

...seriously though, Im the only one throwing stuff at the wall. If the rest of you don't start pitching in something more concrete, Im just gonna start my own RP with blackjack and hookers. XD

@Dawnscroll Something more along the lines of Old Magic seems pretty cool. It puts our characters in the underdog position, fighting such an ancient enemy.

[NarcissisticPotato]

@Dawnscroll
@smarty0114
I have no idea what to do in terms of enemies but if I was to weigh in, I'd say that student vs student was always very interesting to me because it wasn't some awful enemy, it was someone you grew up with and always knew. So maybe a thought could be that a few students begin attempting to use this ancient magic which causes an awakening, of sorts?

[TheHangedMan]

@Dawnscroll Oooh, that gives me an idea. Ribbing off your idea, the fae of old are becoming active once more, both the good and bad ones - the source lying in the fact that Oberon has awoken from a long slumber and stepped out of Tír na nÓg; his intentions are not at all evil, he is simply acting in accordance to his mischievous nature, with Sidhe following suit. Without Titania to counterbalance his actions, the fairies are running wild and unhindered.

At the very least, this story will give students two objectives which is to repel fairies from Hogwarts (which is about all they can do - leave the rest of the United Kingdoms to the Aurors and professionals) and awaken Titania (assuming the students are somehow a relevant force to begin with).

Note: I'm basing my characterization of Oberon and Titania from traditional Sidhe myths and a manga called Ancient Magus Bride (Mahō Tsukai no Yome) rather than how they are characterized in A Midsummer Nights Dream.
