[OOC] Walking Down Memory Lane (Harry Potter Role Play)

[World Traveler]

Welcome Faculty of Hogwarts 2019

For this role play we will be having our story take place in the current year (2019)That said there is some time travel involved so the secondary timeline (where a large part of the role play will take place) will be in 2009. If my math is off a little let me know and I can make a correction. Since the 2000's there has been a massive moment of modernizing magic. Robes have begun to fall out of fashion and overall the magical world is letting the muggle world start to blend in. Fashion, music, and others but the actual communities are still mostly oblivious to each other.

Each of our characters are part of a new crop of professors at Hogwarts that were brought on at the personal request of the new Headmaster. We now make up the youngest teaching staff that Hogwarts has ever had which has lead to a bit of a commotion with the Ministry. That said the Headmaster has our backs and has simply told us to have one goal. Make magic fun again. He was always a rather eccentric man, who never taught at Hogwarts, and yet seems to have already gained more appreciation and knowledge of the school than anyone else.

This role play will start just after dinner roughly one month into our school year. A weekly meeting with all the faculty will begin where we decide on some of the more mundane duties like night patrols quidditch practice supervision, and chaperons for the next weekends trip to Hogsmeade. During this meeting there will be a commotion which will gather us to the same location and launch us into the main part of the role play.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have and have not COMPLETELY mapped out this entire idea, but that is what I have so far you can expect us all to discover where it leads together. I am very interested in everyone helping build the story together as well as collaborate with each other, myself, and the world to create something we are excited and engaged in.

While not guaranteed, below is a list of roles and people who currently have 'lay claimed to' Next to that claim is a date. That date is the timeline for someone to submit a character after a review of their character they will either be accepted and lock the character out or given a chance to edit after review if the character sheet is acceptable but in need of alterations. Should a character sheet be of low enough quality (Mainly grammar and spelling will be the pitfalls)

@World Traveler Here ya are.

Felix

Name: Felix Vulpis

Appearance: The shortest kid in his yeargroup, and scrawny as hell. His shoulder length red hair lays flat, save for two bangs pointing stright up like fox ears. Possessing an androgenous face, he tends to put people in mind of a fox with his almost shut eyes and a smile that promises mischief in his future. When he actually opens his eyes, people see a swirling vortex of reds and oranges, his irises are akin to a burning fire.

Age: 27
Gender: Male
Blood Status: Half Blood
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Professor of: Runic Magic

Biography: Born of a mundane born witch and a 'pureblood' wizard, Felix was a troublemaker from his first use of accidental magic. He turned his uncle's skin bright yellow with black stripes, along with "I'm a lovely bumblebee" on his forehead. He was four at the time. His father, amused at the prank, decided to introduce his cheeky son to the wonders of pranks. The amount of chaos he proceeded to cause left his father on the couch for months when his mother found out.
It came as little surprise to anyone who knew the devious bastard when he was instantly sorted into Slytherin. You can still see the remnants of some of the more exuberant pranks in the common room as he dealt with the idiots trying to assert their dominance over him. This inner struggle lasted for the better part of his first two years until one of the smarter snakes came up with a compromise. Ignore Felix in the heirarchy, and point his chaos at the other three houses. On that night teachers across Hogwarts, especially those who remembered the Weasley Twins, shuddered as a great evil was unleashed upon the school... especially when Felix took an interest in runes and their uses. His graduation from the school was met with cheers and drinking by his poor teachers.
After Hogwarts he worked as a Cursebreaker for Gringotts, travelling across the world to funnel his desire for chaos. It was during an amusing jaunt in Mexico, involving a toucan, a cursed amulet, and one of the lost cities of the native peoples, that an owl arrived bearing an invitation to teach Runes at Hogwarts. Considering his handlers had been reaching the point where they were ready to strangle him, this seemed like a good career change. Plus there was the library's restricted section... apparently he was 'too irresponsable' to be allowed access as a student.

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: In march of his fourth year, he used a runic array on the Gryffindor Common room entrance. Said array swapped the gender of whoever walked through the portal, as well as stripping them naked. The icing on the cake was it being linked to a camera to take a picture of their reactions. He made a mint selling the blackmail pictures to his fellow Slytherins.

[Infinite Cosmos]

Can I claim potions Professor and if need be, he can teach Herbalife as well?

Edit: Wow. Herbalife... Herbology.

How To Make This Potion

Wand:

Purple Heart Wood with a Unicorn Hair Core. 12^1/4 Unyielding

Source

Wand Information

Woods | Cores

Hazel Wood

A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.

Unicorn Hair Core

Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.
Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may ‘die’ and need replacing.

Best Class:

Astronomy

Charms

Worst Class:

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Transfiguration

Biography:

Professor Elanor came to Hogwarts with the intent of becoming a Auror. She had lost her father do to the Dark Lord many years ago. She wanted revenge and she believed that helping the wizard world and her family, the best way was to become a Auror. However, that quickly changed when she couldn't keep up with Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Charms. Astronomy and Arithmancy was her strongest suite. It all came to her naturally, and it had potential. As the years went on, she was very bright and enjoyed working with everyone and helping out.

While in Herbology, Professor Parsons pointed out to her that she would make a wonderful teacher. However, the O.W.L.S. would be her biggest issue. She turned to Arithmancy to calculate whether her dreams would come true on becoming a teacher. However, something more horrifying came to light. She could not predict the time of her death, but she knew how she was going to pass away; in a dark body of black water

With this knowledge, she became very paranoid. She barely past her O.W.L.'s and skimmed by in her classes. Initially, she went to work for her mothers shop. Selling books, astronomy related items, and nick knacks. She believed that the rest of her live would be stuck in her mothers shop selling.. crap. Until she received a letter from Hogwarts. The Headmaster was requesting for her to come to Hogwarts to teach Astronomy, on the request of her old Professor Parsons. She accepted the job, and was more than pleased to be able to be part of a new generation of teachers to help the school become fun once again!

Coach Andrews

Name: Joseph "Joe" Andrews
Appearance
Age: 26
Gender:Male
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw
Professor of: Physical Education (Technically Flying, but Joe insists using the former term)
Biography: It is said every boy will at least once in his life wish to be the strongest man in the world. Joe's wish didn't exactly come true, but it didn't stop him from trying. As a child Joe was energetic and enthusiastic, always trying new sports and games whenever opportunity came his way. He won some, he lost some, but it was the thrill of trying something new that drove him forward. But as he got older, Joe discovered that sometimes he'd go into something resembling a trance. When he was in this state, no basket was too high to jump, no track too long to run, no target too difficult to hit. Soon other children and adults noticed as well. Adults wondered if there was something special in Joe, while children accused him of cheating. Then arrived the letter, along with a witch, to explain everything what was going on with Joe.

Naturally, Joe was excited to discover that he was a wizard, and that he was going to be taught magic in a special school somewhere in Scotland. He just couldn't wait to experience all the sports that could be played by magic. He was especially interested in the ones where you could play brooms with. He wasn't exactly disappointed, more like surprised, to be sorted into Ravenclaw. Joe had never considered himself nerd or otherwise academic before. Granted, he wasn't either one of those dumb jocks who was constantly at risk for being kicked out of the team for lacking sufficient grades. Joe simply didn't see studying as part of what he was. It was only years later that he realized that the Sorting Hat had reacted to Joe's creativity and uniqueness, namely his ideas of broom games and how they are played.

What he was disappointed however was the broom games, or the lack thereof. Nothing but Quidditch, Quidditch, Quidditch. Granted, there were other broom games, but they were rarely, if ever, mentioned. Joe discovered most of them from Quidditch Through the Ages, which again showed what game magical people liked. It wasn't like he hated Quidditch or anything, he was in the Raveclaw team at one point, but there could have been more than one game.

Another disappointment was that Joe wasn't that good with spells. However, he focused his skills on subjects with little requirement of spellcasting beyond a few, such as herbology and potions. Nonetheless Joe decided after a few years to return to Muggle World after graduating. Magical World had its charm, but it wasn't as exciting as Joe had hoped for. Many summers back home went in Summer School to learn subjects not taught at Hogwarts.

After graduation Joe went to college in Muggle World, finally able to try a variety of sports. However, Joe's magic was still with him, giving him advantages fellow students didn't have. The next few years Joe spent pondering what to do or where to go, not really fitting anywhere. It was then that answer came almost godsend. Hogwarts now got a new headmaster, and he was looking for teachers who could make magic fun again. Joe signed up immediately. It was the perfect opportunity to give some diversity to sports in the Magical World.

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: Joe had never really been interested in the whole Blood Purity nonsense, nor stereotypes it brings. However, the memories of old tend to linger. At his Sixth Year Joe saw a bunch of Hufflepuffs picking on a Slytherin, calling him monster, villain and the like. When Joe went to defend the boy, the Hufflepuffs asked why he'd side with a dark wizard. Joe then reminded them that nobody should be considered evil or good because of where someone sleeps. He also reminded the Hufflepuffs of the Badger King, which made them take back their claim that their house produced no dark wizards. He finally encouraged the young Slytherin not to care what other students say, for outside of the school no one asks what house you were in.

And here's my character.

James Dalton

Name: James Dalton
Appearance: James is on the short side of average height, measuring approximately 5'6" with a slim, runner-like build, but don't let his size fool you; he is surprisingly strong for his small build. He keeps his brown hair short and out of his face, which is round and fair-skinned and devoid of facial hair. His eyes are leaf-green and alight with kindness and intelligence.
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Blood Status: somewhere on the order of half-blood, muggles and wizards of varying blood statuses throughout his ancestry without discrimination, purity of blood is unknown, and nether he nor his family really cares
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor, but borderline with Ravenclaw
Professor of: Transfiguration
Biography: James was born to an accomplished wizard who had gone from a clerk at Flourish and Blott's to Undersecretary to the Head of Magical Law Enforcement in five short years, and a muggle professor of chemistry at a college in a small town in western England near the Welsh border. He grew up in a small house in the country where his favorite pastimes included reading everything he could get his hands on and going on adventures in the vast woods and fields outside his home. He discovered his talent for magic on one of his adventures when he was deep in the woods and ran into a large cat. James was not an expert on the local fauna, but he was pretty sure there weren't any big cats native to his particular part of the country. None of that mattered, though, as he was there, and the cat didn't look friendly. James wasn't sure what to do. He knew he couldn't outrun the cat, and he couldn't take the cat on, and the cat didn't seem to be the least bit scared of James. James was rooted to the spot in a mix of fear and uncertainty, and suddenly the cat came forward. James could never truly say what happened next, but one moment he was facing a large cat approaching him, and the next there was a harmless kitten scampering away from him. He returned home to tell his parents about what had happened. When his dad heard about this adventure, he swelled with pride and explained that he knew his boy would be a great wizard. Like any young boy, James was naturally excited at the prospect of being a wizard, and from that moment, he would read anything he could about magic and Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. He found his dad's old Hogwarts textbooks and began reading them, trying to memorize as many spells and potions from the books as possible. During his outdoor adventures, he would often take a stick and pretend it was his wand and that he could perform great magic with it, even though he could hardly even control the outcome of the magic he did most of the time. He finally got his letter from Hogwarts and all but begged his dad to take him to Diagon Alley right away so that he could get his stuff. He had to settle with waiting until the weekend to go, but once he did, he got his robes, his textbooks, his wand (sycamore and phoenix feather, 10 1/2 inches, slightly bendy), and a pet (a barn owl named Jareth). James was willing and excited to begin his education at Hogwarts.
On his arrival at Hogwarts, James proved to be a hatstall. The sorting hat could not decide whether James's bravery or intelligence was his more important trait and waffled between sorting him into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw for a good ten minutes (his kindness and fierce loyalty also gained a brief consideration for Hufflepuff, but this was quickly rejected as his bravery and cleverness eclipsed his kindness and loyalty). In the end, bravery won over intelligence and James was sorted into Gryffindor, but the hat admitted during the process that James could just as easily fit into Ravenclaw. During his time at Hogwarts, James continued to pursue his passions of adventuring and learning and would be frequently found, outside of class times, either in the library or exploring the grounds, sometimes in places where he shouldn't have been, due to his thirst for adventure. James worked hard and earned good marks in all his classes, but he showed a special talent for Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures, even writing an unassigned essay on phoenixes for the latter, to the jealousy of one of his Ravenclaw classmates. In his fifth year he was made Prefect for Gryffindor House (despite a slight tendency to break the rules) as well as Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, for which he played as a Chaser. That year he achieved a full set of OWLs and went on to NEWT levels of all his classes, and while this made James busier than ever, he still found time to indulge in his other interests outside of classes and even become an animagus.
Upon finishing his education at Hogwarts, James spent some time traveling, having no clue what he really wanted to do with his life. After a year of traveling, James decided he wanted to follow in the footsteps of New Scamander and other illustrious magizoologists and study the magical creatures of the world. His work took him further afield than his travels after graduating Hogwarts, and he explored some of the most remote, uninhabited parts of the world. He expanded on the work of his predecessors and discovered five new species of magical beasts and rediscovered a hidden enclave of a creature that had been believed to be extinct for nearly a century, and was even still endangered. After nearly seven years of exploration, discovery, and reports far too long for most people to care about, James received an owl from the new headmaster of Hogwarts, requesting he come and teach Transfiguration (Care of Magical Creatures was currently taken). While James loved the work he did, he figured a change of pace to a more sedentary life for a few years might do him good, and so he accepted.
Favorite Hogwarts Memory: Winning the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor in his fifth year.
It was the final Quidditch match of the year, and Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were all but tied for the Quidditch Cup, meaning whoever won this game would win the cup for their house. Both teams knew how much was on the line and were prepared to do whatever they had to in order to win the game. The teams kicked off as the balls were released. James dodged a bludger sent at him by one of the Ravenclaw beaters and caught the quaffle just as one of his teammates passed it to him. He and his fellow chasers ran the quaffle down the field, and James launched it through the center goalpost on the Ravenclaw side, the keeper barely missing the ball. Gryffindor was ahead, but it wouldn't last for long as the Ravenclaw team knocked Gryffindor's keeper off his broom with a well-aimed bludger, leaving Gryffindor's goalposts undefended. Ravenclaw was able to score three times before Gryffindor's keeper recovered and returned to defending the goalposts, putting Ravenclaw in the lead by 20 points. The game was fierce, and both teams remained neck and neck for the next two hours. The snitch had been sighted twice, but both times it had eluded the two seekers and vanished again. Finally, James had to call a time-out to give his team some rest since they were all tired, and to discuss strategy. His plan was bold, aggressive, a little crazy, somewhat dangerous, and totally brilliant. The beaters were to do everything in their power to keep Ravenclaw's keeper too occupied with the bludgers to defend the goalposts, allowing the chasers, flying in tight, well-protected formations, to more easily score. In the meantime, the keeper would hang out near the middle of the pitch, attempting to intercept the quaffle, should Ravenclaw acquire it, before they could even get near the goalposts. The plan worked brilliantly, and over the course of the next two hours, Gryffindor gained a commanding lead over Ravenclaw. In the end, the game lasted nearly 8 hours before Gryffindor's seeker caught the Snitch, ending the game and securing the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor in a win by more than 300 points!
Extra: James is an animagus. His animal form is a phoenix.

[Sedjwick]

Whoops. Forgot to tag @World Traveler. My character sheet is in the above post.

[Chiro]

I forgot to tag @World Traveler as well. Mine is above Sedjwick's sheet.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

@Chiro so YOU are the one who convinced people Slytherins aren't evil. Do you have any idea how rabid the girls got when we were considered 'Troubled and Misunderstood' instead of complete arseholes? Freak'n do gooders and their crusades...

[Chiro]

@Chiro so YOU are the one who convinced people Slytherins aren't evil. Do you have any idea how rabid the girls got when we were considered 'Troubled and Misunderstood' instead of complete arseholes? Freak'n do gooders and their crusades...

@Ryteb Pymeroce

I just don't like people stereotyping others. Ravenclaws don't like being called nerds (nor do I like being considered dumb just because I like sports), and I doubt Gryffindors want to think of themselves as fearless fools, or Hufflepuffs as mundane nobodies. I could go on, but I'd probably risk going political. Muggle political.

And besides, wouldn't you have been surrounded by rapid girls anyway? "Girls like bad boys" and all that.

Or, wait, is this one of your trollings again? Because it's not funny.

Thank God there is no internet in the Magical World... yet.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

What? I would never troll anyone. Especially a fellow teacher.

Honestly though, I felt as the (currently) only Slytherin that I needed to defend our right to be evil... admittedly my brand of evil is more along the lines of driving people off the deep end.

Also, being 5'1 at majority, and features putting people in mind of a fox, the last thing I need is the female population realising I am allowed to be adorable. Never again... shudders.

[Infinite Cosmos]

I'll have a sheet up tonight at the latest, sorry for the massive delay.

〘𝓑𝓲𝓸/𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂〙
Ryan, being born into a pure blood magical family, always knew he would attend Hogwarts. However, before he received his owl to attend Hogwarts, his family moved. Moving to the United States, he instead received his owl to attend Ilvermorny in Massachusetts. Being that the laws and situations are different in the States, he was not able to buy his wand until he entered the school. His wand, when he received it, was made out of Holly and contained a Thunderbird tail feather at its core. Its length was approximately ten inches and it was told that the wand is supple, but quite unyielding. To his knowledge and memory, no one has had any significant luck cast any spells of significance with his wand except himself.

During his time at Ilvermorny, he thought he knew what he wanted to do after he graduated. He was going to become an auror, join MACUSA, and serve the magical community proudly until he retires. Obviously, as all stories would go, that was not to be. He finished his education smoothly, and was on his way to be qualified as a full-fledged auror until that fated afternoon.

A midsummer afternoon, the heat was not oppressive, but it makes its presence knew in the American Northeast. Ryan was just making his way downtown, walking fast, faces past, heading home. Along the way, he walks past an empty park, the carousel spinning slowly and creaking softly. Ryan, taking a glance at the playground contraption, paying it no mind and continues on his trek home. Suddenly, a loud shrill came forth from the playground. A black, fluid-like, cloud shot out from under the carousel and darted directly at Ryan. He took two quick, small, steps back to gain some distance and ready his wand. An Obscurus, the repressed anger from a magical child, was upon him. Taking a deep breath, he fired off several intense binding spells, hoping that it would restrain the Obscurus. It obviously did not work. Turning to more violent spells, Ryan was able to fight off the Obscurus, rendering it into pieces. Having caused a large commotion, Ryan had not noticed that he drew a crowd. Some had their phones out, taking pictures, or in general shock. Sighing, Ryan apparated.

Reappearing right outside MACUSA, he stepping in and allowed himself to be taken in and questioned about his actions. Ryan, being ever truthful, told the whole encounter exactly as it happened. At the end, he was informed that due to the possibility of exposure, he will no long be able to qualify as a auror in the US. However, given his cooperation, he was allowed to leave the country to seek employment elsewhere.

Thus, his story continues. He was hired at Hogwarts as its Potions Master, teaching potions class.
