[OOC] Hogwarts: Before the War

[Garden Gnome]

@FoxI'm totally A-OK with what you mentioned about her being Konstantin's crush. Since they are both in the same house and in the same team, I'm pretty sure they'll have plenty of opportunities to interact and get close!

So sorry about the late reply! Have been really busy and hadn't really had time to get online.

[Hitman]

@Peridot I'm going to be dropping out of this. It's too much to commit to. Good luck, though.

@Agent 47

No problem, thanks for letting me know! If you change your mind you're more than welcome to return, but otherwise best of luck in your other roleplays! :D

[Fox]

@MissCapnCrunch I appreciate the effort. It's seriously a good attempt, but I'll likely just remove the images. I know how I imagine him and that's honestly not gonna change whether or not the pictures are included. It's a text-based RP anyway, the picture's don't add all that much to begin with. Just gives everyone else an idea of the person the characters are interacting with, but you'll all make do I'm sure.

Update folks - going to push the IC release date back to the 9th. Need to focus on revising for an exam unfortunately, but at least people will have a bit more time to polish off their characters and settle on relationships. On that note, here's some of my own suggestions:

@Ejected
Honey and Eva are both in the same house, year, and Quidditch Team - they also seem to have quite compatible personalities. Do you think they could have become best friends, or friends, in their years together? I'm also thinking of Eva having a crush on Andreas, though of course that can be entirely one-sided. Any thoughts?

@MissCapnCrunch
Are you still happy with Eva being friends with Beverly? As for Ali, while she may not like him due to his prejudiced ways, I don't think it would evolve into hatred or anything stronger between the two?

Haven't thought of anymore too much (still writing their backstories), but you guys can hit me up if you have any ideas.

Oh, and I'm also reopening all further applications in terms of houses. Females and Fifth years are still closed for the moment.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Peridot

Good luck with your exam!

Eva and Beverly as friends sounded like a good idea to me. As for Ali, I agree- they will probably have some head butting but nothing to the point of hatred or enemies. Bev is a gentle soul, she would try to befriend anyone. ^^ Also, I'll probably make a graphic for later use for everyone to see who is in what house and their year. Just for our own sanity sake for organization.

[MissCapnCrunch]

This is just with the characters that have been totally accepted in the character bin so far
I totally have too much time on my hands but I thought this might look nice and give us a general idea

@MissCapnCrunch

Wow, that's incredible! All I've got is a little table to keep track of things so far, but this is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do it!

[KazAlkemi]

I love that!!!! Almost want to hand it in my room lol.

[MissCapnCrunch]

Thanks guys c:
Once everyone is officially in and we get started I'll do a completed one!

[Garden Gnome]

@MissCapnCrunch

Totally awesome chart. Well done!

Honey/Andreas and Eva

As for Honey and Eva, I do believe that they would make great best friends. They're in the same year, house, and Quidditch team, so they'd definitely see each other often. And due to their personalities being so similar, they'd also get along well. While I can see them having the occasional argument, I don't think they'd ever have any huge fights. I read that Eva gets into a bit of trouble here and there due to her temper. Honey could be that person who tries to cool her off or tries to prevent her from getting a detention, and vice versa. Honey isn't the friendliest towards those she cares for, so she could get into a few altercations herself.

They're also both from Spanish backgrounds, so I can see them speaking the language to each other every now and then and having used it as a way to sort of bond with each other in the beginning. I can also see Honey helping Eva keep up with the latest Muggle fashion trends.

As for Andreas and Eva, I think the crush would be a bit one-sided, but could potentially grow into something more. The thing is, Andreas would mainly just see Eva as the cute best friend of his sister. If you want Honey to know about this crush, I could definitely see her teasing Eva about it just a little bit, but she could also try to push them together by dropping hints to Andreas and what not.

@KazAlkemi

Honey/Andreas and Aibhlinn

At best, I'd think they'd be acquaintances. They don't have much in common, but Honey would have a sort of respect for the girl, especially after she proved herself to be determined and cunning. In all honesty, Honey probably would have been one of the kids who has said a few unfriendly things to Aibhlinn, but not enough for it to be considered "bullying" since she's that way with mostly everyone. She might even hit her up every now and then for a little help with History.

I saw that Aibhlinn spends a bit of time in the Astronomy tower, so maybe she and Andreas are friends. They both have an interest in Astronomy, Andreas especially, so I could see them having long conversations about it in the tower or during class. He'd also probably urge her to join the astronomy club.

@Garden Gnome

Honey/Andreas and Heidi

Honey and Heidi could either be friends or acquaintances, depending on how Heidi may feel about her. They'd see each other often since they're both in dueling club.

She and Andreas could be friends as well since they're on the Quidditch team together. Although, with Andre being the introvert that he is, I don't think they'd be very close due to her more energetic and impulsive nature.

@Aislynn

Andreas and Kendall

Andreas and Kendall are in the same house. Although they're in different years, I do think they could be friends or acquaintances at the least. They have similar personalities, both being pretty outgoing and friendly. It's all up to you!

@Fury Panda

Andreas and Amit

Andreas and Amit also do not have much in common, but I do think they could be acquaintances. Andreas wants to travel the world someday, so he would be interested in learning more about Amit's heritage/culture and what it was like in India. They could also relate a bit, both being minorities and having trouble in the past with fitting in and fully embracing their cultures. Same with Honey, although I don't think she'd really speak to Amit unless it's trash talking on the Quidditch field.

[KazAlkemi]

@Ejected Totally okay by me. I figured acquaintances for sure since they are in the same house. Maybe Honey's comments will be what helped Aibhlinn to develop a bit of a back bone in this year.

Okay I wasn't sure how Andreas would feel about her being half-blood, so that could be interesting as well.

[Ejected]

@KazAlkemi Andreas is a Half-Blood, as well. He wouldn't have any problems at all.

[KazAlkemi]

@Ejected Oh! My apologies, I thought they were pure. Well there we go, got that figured!

[Aislynn]

@Ejected

Sounds good to me!

@Ejected

Oh, of course! I'd overlooked the Spanish-speaking aspect of it. Yeah, that would be awesome. I can already imagine their first interaction in Spanish - Eva would be thrilled to have found her. And I'm sure Honey knowing of Eva's crush would make for some humorous IC interactions haha. I agree with everything you've said!

Oh, and for Alistair - @Garden Gnome, too - how about the Seekers all have some kind of rivalry? Ali isn't really the competitive sort, but I'm sure he could have some sort of friendly ribbing with Honey and Heidi over Quidditch matches?

@Deadbeatwalking Ali and Iorweth are in the same House and year - could a friendship had sprung up between them, or would Ali's prejudice have been too off-putting?

@Fury Panda I've written Ali to be more intelligent and calculating than his sister, so I was thinking of having him take part in Wizard's Chess. Perhaps he and Amit could get along by playing? Up to you, my dude. :)

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Ejected

W-w-w-what about Beverly :(

[Ejected]

@MissCapnCrunch Don't worry, I didn't forget about Beverly! I don't think she has anything in common with Honey or Andreas, so I was still thinking on how their friendship would be, if they'd have a friendship at all. Perhaps she and Honey could be friends... they both have their own fashion senses and enjoy keeping up with trends so maybe they bonded over that. Andreas is friendly with basically everyone, so they could be friends as well, if you want.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Ejected

Ah okay :) They will all just be acquaintances until further notice. Sometimes interactions in IC make relationships anyways.
