Harry Potter slice of life RP... thing.

[McFazzer]

I'd like to give this a try if possible

•Name: Aloysius (pronounced Al-e-wish-us) Fisher
•Age: 11
•Gender: Male
•House: Ravenclaw
•Magical Heritage: Half-blood

•Appearance: (I'm having trouble finding a good image so until then just imagine a curly brown haired blue eyed skinny kid)

•Backstory: Aloysius (Al to his friends) was born into a confectionery family. His wizard father was a potions major at his time at Hogwarts and quickly started teaching young Al about the subject from as soon as he was able to understand speech. What's herbs to make a sleep draught, how potion effects change when inhaled in a gaseous state and how to make salves and balms that ease pain. Al's mother on the other hand taught him about candies, chocolates and cakes.
These two disciplines clashed when young eight year old Al was first taught about the making of hard-boiled sweets. Young Al wanted to make some lollipops that would change colour with each lick and after doing some quick research in some of his Dad's old textbooks, figured he could make them pretty quickly. After 'borrowing' some of his father's potions apparatus Al set about his cooking attempt. It went so well for about ten seconds, then the magic infused melted sugar started to melt the beaker it was in while he was holding it.
Al threw the melting sugar and glass away where it shattered against the wall scattering the molten pieces around the room and burning his right hand and arm in a vaguely tiger striped pattern. Screaming in pain, Al ran down to his father who after treating his burns slapped Al and told him off for being an idiot. Then his father promptly showed Al how it should have been done and then shoved a lollipop in Al's mouth, promising to teach him better in the future.
Years later Al's old burns still hurt and they had slightly damaged his nerves, making the grip of his right hand slightly weak when he received his letter for Hogwarts. This concerned his mother, but his father had some bandages and ointments made to dilute the pain and sent a letter ahead informing the faculty about his condition.

•Personality: Al is perceptive and shrewd and doesn't make friends easily, but when he does they are a friend for life. He tolerates no lies or falsities and doesn't suffer fools gladly if he feels he has been wronged he will get even in his own time be that months or even years. He is serious in his own way, his priorities are simply different from most other peoples.

•Personal Items:
Wand:12" Cedar, with unicorn hair core
Pet: A small white Bombay kitten.
A battered little notebook which he writes potions formula and methods. Inherited from his father.
A small pouch of candies from his mother's shop

•Special gifts and abilities: Has an aptitude for potions, although he is very cautious around them ever since his accident with the sugar burns.

Another man-child, good >D
Was slightly worried about the whole gender balance thing to be honest heh

[Lennon79]

So uh... Lost Cause, still there?

[Lost Cause]

Yeah, still here.

I don't think there's any serious issues with the sheet.

[Lennon79]

And that makes 6 I think.

[GirlOnMarz]

How many others are needed before this gets going?

[Lost Cause]

I know I'm waiting on one last sheet from someone.

[McFazzer]

So do you have someone in mind? Or are we looking for one more person?

Someone has told me they have a sheet in the works.

[Retridemption]

Erm, I just joined the forum. Can I still sign-up to this RP or is it closed for signups?

Sorry it took so long. ^^;

• Name: Mary Smith
• Age: 11
• Gender: Female
• House: Gryffindor
• Magical Heritage: Muggle Born
• Appearance: Whee.
• Backstory: Average girl, average family, average life. Mary's life has been so painfully average and uneventful that she'd do almost anything to make things more interesting. Whilst younger, she had very few friends due to her shy nature, and would often lose herself in tales of magic, fantasy and superheroes; to this day she still wishes she could be in a story like that, despite the fact that she's going to an actual magic school.
• Personality: Really just an average, nerdy teenage girl; generally awkward and easily flustered and frustrated. She has something of an inferiority complex stemming from the view that she's just... Average. She doesn't really stand out of the crowd, and even as a witch she's not exactly notable. She's incredibly socially awkward and a bit of a nerd, with an especial love for comics and fantasy novels. Despite being excited about finding out she's actually a witch and going to an actual magic school, she can't help but be incredibly nervous about the whole thing.
• Personal Items:
•• Wand: 13 3/4 inches, larch, dragon heartstring core. Surprisingly swishy.
•• Owl: Jayne, a tiny owl. Always wears the hat, and despite the name is a male owl.
• Special gifts and abilities: N/A. Average at best.

[Lost Cause]

Yeah, Mary's accepted.

And since that was the sheet I was waiting on, I might as well Start the OOC now.

Signups are still open though, BTW.

I'd very much like to join this if you'd have me.
•Name: Elliott Harrison
•Age: 11
•Gender: Male
•House: Hufflepuff
•Magical Heritage: Muggle-Born
•Appearance: Elliot tends to wear gray sweat pants with two pockets on each side, and a black t-shirt concealed by his large rust red sweater, which is way larger than he can ever hope to be. He also tends wear plain white lace-less shoes with black socks whenever he goes out anywhere, otherwise he just walks around barefoot as is his own personal preference. He has black hair that is unkempt and very messy, with small bangs that go down until they are just beneath his eye-brows, and also has has dark brown eyes.
•Backstory: Elliott was born to two Muggle parents who were very surprised to find that he was a wizard, even more so than he was. He has always done okay in school, but has never really gotten exceptionally high marks mostly because of his lack of interest in his school curriculum, which he thought was incredibly boring and taxing to get through, similar to many children his age. He is also very excited to get his education at Hogwarts started, as he believes that if anything, this time school might actually be somewhat enjoyable to go through, and won't cause him to become as bored as his old school did.
•Personality: Elliott tends to act very sarcastic when speaking to people he dislikes, and is also not above using some especially foul language, which he constantly uses to the point where he has trouble not swearing for an entire day. He is also very loyal to people who he considers to be his friends and will not betray them if he can help it, as the thought of doing such a thing seems horrible in his opinion as, he was raised believing that friends should always look out for each other no matter what happens. He however, understands that such a thing is very ridiculous and knows that in life, there will just be some people who you cannot trust at all, even if you yourself would trust them with your own life. He is very easily irritated and will not hesitate to tell someone off if they annoy him too much, though anything he says whilst he is angry will typically not actually be what he believes at all, just a way for him to finally be able to stop speaking to the person whom he wants to get away from. He is very hardworking in regards to things that actually interest him, and will always try to learn about that specific subject as much as he can. He is always willing to lend a hand to his companions, no matter how bad or foolish the problem they got into is.
•Personal Items: - Wand
Length: 11 1/2 in
Wood: Alder
Core: Unicorn

[Retridemption]

All righty. Shall work on my signup shortly.

•Name: Tamara Hayes
•Age: 11
•Gender: Female
•House: Hufflepuff
•Magical Heritage: Halfblood. Her father is a wizard.
•Appearance: Tammy looks like this

•Backstory: Tammy comes from a very affluent family. Her mother owns a very well known muggle toy brand and her father works for the ministry. She's lived in a large mansion in the British countryside all her life, with maids and butlers for company. Her overprotective muggle mother refused to send her to school, hiring expensive private tutors instead for her education, so she has no friends and has never met anyone her age that wasn't family. Her father managed to convince her mother to allow her to go to Hogwarts after Tammy begged him to. She relented after a few months of nagging and Tammy was soon packed and on her way to London.

•Personality: She's a very loyal person, typical for a Hufflepuff, and very cheerful. It's rare to see her without a smile on her face. She's eager to make as many friends as she can, as quickly as she can, to make up for her lack of them at home. She's very lonely there and sees Hogwarts as an opportunity and will quickly latch onto you if you're not careful. She's sweet natured and enjoys a good time. She's often goofing off in class, preferring to daydream or chat rather than pay attention to teachers. After her seclusion at home, she's a little socially awkward. There had never been so many chances to mingle with other people and she can share too much or go too far so she's a little overwhelming to begin with. She's attempting to hide her riches, since she doesn't want to make friends that are greedy, like the backstabbing ones she'd seen on TV. Her accent gives it away a little, sounding more high class than she would wish for.

•Personal Items:
•• Wand: 11 1/2 inches, holly wood with Unicorn tail hair core. Springy.
•• Pet: A female tortoiseshell cat named Eri
•Special gifts and abilities: Very good at potions

Is this okay?

[Lost Cause]

Your appearance image is redirecting to a Tripod hotlink warning.

[SmallWonders]

Hmm? It doesn't for me... I've replaced it anyhow. It's similar but not exactly the same image. She's meant to have dark hair and eyes, not purple.

[Rin]

Tomoyo! ^_^

[SmallWonders]

Yep :D CCS was and still is my favourite anime.
