[OOC] Hogwarts: Before or After

[LostAndFound]

Okay, so we have Transfiguration, Potions, and DADA. For the sixth year. Did we decide on a house? Or a plot line?

[Razil]

Are we all in the same hose or are some in difrent one?

[LostAndFound]

I thought someone said we should all be in the same house, but I think that may be a little difficult.

[Rocie]

It would be easier for interactions, but I doubt it'll be easy to all agree on one house. If our characters happen to be in the same house, then so be it, but I don't think we should specifically choose a house for us all to be restricted to.

As for plot, are we going to do something with action and fighting, or more drama orientated?

[LostAndFound]

I did a previous roleplay where the tensions were rising. Wizarding War II had been over about 20 years, but the remnants of the Death Eater's had begun terrorizing the world once again. It made for quite a bit of drama and fighting.

And I agree on the house thing. So whenever y'all are ready, post your character sheets.

[LostAndFound]

That is- if you all agree on the idea I just mentioned.

[Razil]

Sounds good ill make up a character when i get home tonight XD

[LostAndFound]

I have one somewhere. I never did get an image for her. Got to do that.

[Apokalipse]

[LostAndFound]

[Apokalipse]

~Appearance~


~Name~
Taylor Boyd Petterson

~Age~
16

~Year~
6th

~House~
Ravenclaw

~Personality~
Taylor is typically quiet, but she can be very vocal when she wants. She's usually at her most vocal when someone is being used or mistreated. She's drawn to the Forbidden Forest for its peace and sense of mystery. Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures are her favorite classes because she enjoys being able to hold her own and she loves all things related to animals. She can be very aggressive when people are being rude or hateful, but when not provocked, she is very calm. She tries to keep a level head at all times, but she's known to have a temper. She also tries to keep her past hidden.

~Likes~
+Animals
+Dark, Quiet Places
+Reading
+Being Alone (most of the time)
+Helping Others
+Practicing Spells

~Dislikes~
-Bullies
-Large Groups
-Judgment
-Divination
-Having to Talk to People
-Her Family

~History~
Taylor was born to a Muggle family, but the fact that she was a Witch wasn't the only reason she was hated in her small town in Tennessee. She liked girls, and that was always a problem. Of course, at 11, it's not really possible to say for certain what gender a child will be attracted to. However, it was clear enough when she came home from her second year at Hogwarts. Her best friend Raven soon became more than a friend during that summer, and when Taylor returned to Hogwarts for her third year, she was truly happy. That changed when she came home for Christmas though. The town had turned on Raven and turned much more quickly on Taylor, for she was an outsider now. (Of course, they didn't know about her being a witch.) Raven's father tried to hit his daughter, but Taylor stepped in. But eventually both of their families turned on them as well. Leaving at the end of the holidays was the hardest thing Taylor ever had to do, leaving the girl she loved at the mercy of that town. It barely surprised her when she received the letter saying Raven had killed herself, but it did break her heart. She was devastated. That was when she withdrew back into her shell. No one at Hogwarts knew though- or at least hardly anyone did. A few people may have guessed. The Potions teacher knew. She liked him pretty well. She had tried to slit her arm with Diffindo , but then she panicked and found the first professor around. Being in the dungeon, that was naturally the Potions Master. Everything was okay now though. She still had the scar, and it reminded her every day of what she lost and what she still had left to lose.

In the process of learning to turn into a flying fox.

~Name~
Professor Adlai Jones

~Titles~
Potions Master
Head of Slytherin House

~Age~
37

~Personality~
Jones is a good professor who knows what he is doing. He has little patience for fools, and very little sympathy for those who don’t try to help themselves in his class. He cares for all of his students, even ones that aren’t in his House, but he’s reluctant to show it at times. He’s a bit of a smartass, but he’s also very wise. He does “sneak” off occasionally to get away from the school and his students. When that happens, he typically goes to the Forbidden Forest, a supposedly student-free zone. He’s not your usual Slytherin. He has his own ideas about the House’s values.

~Likes~
+Smart students
+Resourceful people
+Peace and Quiet
+His job
+Secretly studying creatures in the Forest

~Dislikes~
–Lazy, arrogant people
–Prejudice
–Clumsy people in class
–Staff meetings
–A lot of rules
–People watching over his shoulder

~History~
Jones didn’t have a tragic backstory. No bad childhood or adolescent torments. He was born in to British parents during the war (don’t know our time period so no clue which war), and he grew up traveling quite a bit. Both of his parents were magical, so when he was sent to Hogwarts, his pureblood status sent him to Slytherin. He loved potions; it was his favorite class. When he got older, he came back and asked for the job as Potions Master, and that’s where he’s been ever since. His family was on Voldemort’s side in the war, but he never partook in any of that. He went out of the country when everything started getting bad.

(Sorry that I can’t put an appearance on here. I can’t find one that fits him. And if I’ve left anything out on either, please let me know.)

Bryony “Milky” Davies

Name:
Bryony “Milky” Poppy Davies (BRIAN-EE)

Age:
Sixteen

Year:
Sixth

Gender:
Female

House:
Ravenclaw

Personality:
Bryony is a playful and whimsical girl who enjoys her solitude, tending to her many hobbies. She is very independent and philosophical if you look past her social ineptness and gullible personality. She is rather quirky and even founded her own religion which was a combination of all her favorite aspects of other religions – she believes in reincarnation and karma, but is also monotheistic and believes in the Christian God. She is very firm in her beliefs, religious or otherwise, and cannot be easily swayed to change her mind. She has obsessive-compulsive disorder and is very neat and organized; everything for her has to be even. She does not know the art of subtlety and is, in fact, blunt. She has a lot of expectations for herself and she wants to be able to affect the world and change the way it thinks.

Likes:
• Insects
• Sloths
• Comparing people to food
• Playing tag in public places
• Organization
• Animals
• Tea
• Movies (Favorite: The Breakfast Club and Disney’s Robin Hood (She’s fond of 80’s movies))
• Books (Favorite: Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass, Lord of the Flies, Jane Eyre, The Cat in the Hat, The Hobbit)
• Favorite authors: Charlotte Bronte, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Lewis Carroll, and – her most favorite – Dr. Seuss.
• Transfiguration

Dislikes:
• Liars
• People taking advantage of her
• Others insulting her beliefs
• Animal cruelty
• Bad movies
• Chaos and disorder
• DADA

Mannerisms:
• She won’t eat her food if it touches a different food
• Her doors must be shut before she goes to bed
• Everything has to be neat
• Corrects people when they use colloquial speech
• Has a weakness for rescuing stray animals
• Constantly quotes movies and books
• Everything she does is even

Hobbies:
• Beekeeping
• Collecting tea bag covers
• Juggling
• Ghost hunting
• Taking care of stray pets and her pet rats

Backstory:
Bryony grew up odd and weird, she never was lonely nor was she popular – she was just normal. She was born with a cataract in her left eye which is what led to her nickname “Milky”. Her muggle parents were wealthy, though not rich, and she lived happily in a large suburban house in England with her many pets and hobbies. When she was accepted into Hogwarts, the family had a lapse of awkwardness. Bryony’s parents didn’t know how to act around her anymore while Bryony felt isolated and stressed due to the new environment. By her third year, she spent more time with herself than her family over the holidays until, in fourth year, they had finally reconciled.

[LostAndFound]

Wonderful! Your character is much more in-depth that mine.

[Apokalipse]

I actually wrote her up a long time ago, so I just copied and pasted. WuW

[LostAndFound]

I did the same thing. I wrote Taylor up for an RP that my partner backed out of. I'm glad to get to use her now.

[LostAndFound]

Why don't you and I go ahead and start and others can jump in after they post their characters here
