[OOC] Hogwarts: The Next Generation

[Shadowcatcher]

I'm pretty excited to play a Hufflepuff too, I normally always go for Ravenclaw and Slytherin

@4weekcoma

Same here. I usually go for a know it all Ravenclaw so I'm excited to play a more emotional and casual type of characted ^^

[Feisty-Pants]

<Snipped quote by Feisty-Pants>

That's rather unlikely.

@Saltwater Thief

I always thought you were a Gryffindor. :3

And I know, I was just jabbing at you a little. :3

[4weekcoma]

@Shadowcatcher I quite like playing the bad girl and being super cool in Slytherin, but Kaelyn has a lot of my more emotional qualities... I'm really not a cool bad girl

@Feisty-Pants

Almost always either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. For what it's worth, the actual hat at Warner Bros backlot said the latter. Which is weird to me because I don't think I have anywhere near the ambition or thirst for greatness.

@Saltwater Thief

Ahhh. Perhaps locked away is that ambition and thirst, you've just yet to find the key. ^_~

I reckon the Hat is simply the latter. I was a Ravenclaw according to it.

[Asuu]

I was a Slytherin. Go figure.

[Saltwater Thief]

Ha. No. I don't like being the center of attention or some kind of leader. I'm a fan of the Kreon Approach- be the second/third in command or have the seniority/experience to lend similar weight to your words. Same general degree of influence/power, plus the ability to sleep at night.

@Saltwater Thief

Certainly fair enough. ^_^

I see where you're coming from though, and that makes more sense.

The picture is his natural state, but he is often seen looking very different, almost like another person.
Name: Luc Anaxi Lupin
Age: 16
School Year: Fifth Year
House: Gryffindor
Short Bio: Luc is the son of Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley. He, like his father and grandmother (Tonks), is a Metamorphmagus. A witch/wizard with the rare ability to change their appearance at will. Also from his grandfathers (Bill Weasly, Remus Lupin) he has inherited a tiny bit of werewolf, however it comes out as nothing more than a craving for raw meat.
Personality: Loud and ‘obnoxious’ Luc is a daredevil. He seems to believe he has something to prove, although no one, not even he himself is sure what. He often acts a lot like a little kid, something that can quite easly piss people off. Often it seems like he is oblivious to others feelings, but he does try not to hurt others intentionally. He struggles with 'normal' magic and that annoys him no end, although he dose prefer to stick to what he sees as normal; Metamorphasing. When flying Luc prefers live animals (hippogriphs ect.) to brooms for, as he says; "They aren't really alive" He does however prefer using a broom to not flying at all.
Classes taken: Care of Magical Creatures, (basic) Charms, Music, Astronomy, and Defence Against the Dark Arts
Hobbies: music, shifting his appearance,
Patronus: Wolf

Patronus

Wand: Redwood, unicorn Tail, 12” malleable.

Sorry for taking time about posting, I was out for most of today.

Just a side note… did you know that the writing across the bottom of the Hogwarts crest means "Never poke a sleeping dragon in the eye" Or something like that. :)

[4weekcoma]

Accepted :) post in characters

I think I'll try and get up an intro post for the IC tonight, that will hopefully give people time to post intros tonight and tomorrow

Edit: I just decided to write it up when I got home, so it's up :)

@4weekcoma

Loved the post ^^

I'll write something up soon. Should Lucine and Kaelyn already know eachother or should they meet in the dorms?

[4weekcoma]

@Shadowcatcher I think it would make sense that they would already know each other, you can decide how close they are but I'd assume they're on friendly terms

I Solemnly Swear I'm Up To No Good

Name

Devin Coal

Age

16

School Year

Fifth Year

House

Gryffindor

Short Bio

Devin was born in Vancouver, BC in Canada to two muggle parents. One was an american working in the tech industry and the other was a veterinarian at the city Zoo. While visiting family living in French speaking Canada it was discovered that Devin had inherited the magical blood a portion of his mothers family still carried. Soon enough it was decided that he could pursue both education tracks. Spending the normal school year at Hogwarts and the summer catching up with his muggle studies.

Personality

Creative, resourceful, and intellectually quick are words Devin’s teachers would use to describe him on report cards. He is good at a broad range of things. Enjoys debating issues, and can be into "one-upmanship". Devin gets very excited about new ideas and projects, but can neglect the more routine aspects of life. Generally outspoken and assertive some might say he is a leader. Devin enjoys people and is stimulating company. Excellent ability to understand concepts and apply logic to find solutions.

Extra

Devin is the founder and president of the Muggle Appreciation Club at Hogwarts. The club meets to celebrate muggle culture. At least that is what it is when talking to any professor. To Devin and other members it is a place where they can go to enjoy the comforts of the muggle world. At first it was seen as a weird thing that muggle born students went to, but after some time watching sports, partying because of some muggle holiday, and learning about muggle life had become fairly popular. Devin even got the school to allow the club room to be free of anti electricity charms so the TV and computers would work.

Character Connections

Anastasia (Ana) Borak

Ana and Devin first met during the presorting hat ritual of taking boats to the school. His nervousness over the whole ordeal was written over his face and he found the fact that Ana seemed to know everything there was to know about the school and what was about to happen incredibly comforting. They have been study partners for a few projects and while many find her no nonsense study habits off putting Devin still enjoys her company when she allows him to bother her. He enjoys teasing her on how little about the muggle world she knows.

Kaelyn Cobble

Kaelyn was Devin's first crush. That sort of crush you get when you meet someone who just doesn't seem to have any faults. Funny, flirty, and happy there was little in the way of flaws that Devin could see. Still the distance of two years meant Devin rarely had any interaction especially since they were in different houses. The crush steadily marched over to admiration.

Gabriel Mal Thea

Devin was never one to fall into the whole rivalry between the houses (except for when Quidditch was being played) So it was a bit of a surprise when Devin began to socialize with Gabriel outside of classes. The two had more than their share of classes together. The biggest story between the two is one Devin loves to share and Gabriel hates to hear. During potions the two were partnered and Devin watched as Gabriel silently poured way to many merman tears into the potion. A second later the whole pot was bubbling green and explodes. The result of the potion was perfectly clean hair... in that Gabriel blew his entire head of hair off. Thankfully the two learned how to mix a hair growing potion to make up credit for failing the class exercise.

Lucine Scamander

More than a few people have speculated that Lucine and Devin are sweethearts. Likely due to their mutual love for Care for Magical Creatures course. The worst was when the two were charged with putting a chupacabra back in a cage. The claws snagged both of them a few times and after finally getting it into its cage their clothes were mostly gone. Needless to say there were more than a few rumors and jokes wandering the halls at their expense.

Hannah Beckings

Hannah is a member of Devin's Muggle Appreciation Club. While most know her as a somewhat shy student Hannah has let her hair down as it were in front of Devin several times. The most notable being when she first showed up to the Muggle Appreciation Club meeting. She had noticeably criticized the club as pointless to which Devin engaged in a battle of word tricks. In the end he won and she had to attend some of the meetings. Before long she was joining in meetings well past the agreement and the two became friends... He thinks.

Jason “Jay” Vega

Jason is Devin's best friend. Both born on the West coast of north america and from across the pond the two had a lot in common. Add in the fact that they are in the same house and you have two nearly inseparable buddies. The two are the founding members of the Muggle Appreciation Club which came about after the two realized they both love football and the Seahawks vs 49ers game was impossible to watch in Hogwarts. Since then people have told them that they can talk like they aren't in a school for magic. The two don't mind and often continue their conversation.

Luc Anaxi Lupin

Luc rounds out what many in the school call the Griffindor Lions. With Devin being the Mane and Jay the Paw Luc is known as the roar. The three have been friends since first year. More trouble has befallen Devin because of Luc than any other member of Griffindor. This often comes into play when the two begin to compete over something completely pointless. Two happy go lucky competitive types is not what the grounds keeper of the school wants. The time they spent in detention is almost as much time as they practice on brooms.

@4weekcoma

Alright ^^

[Shadowcatcher]

@World Traveler

Love our characters history XD

Good idea adding that in there to avoid trying to figure out how we know eachother ^^

[caliban22]

I like it. Devs my boy now. I like it!

[World Traveler]

Thank you. I often do a character connection for all my characters. For this one I felt it especially important since all our characters will have known each other for at least 5 years. Lot of history. Also instead of the introduce and explain our characters to each other we can just write about things that happened in those past five years. You will see me add things to the connections as the role play moves forward and we bring up funny stories, past heartbreaks, and classroom mistakes to round out the history between characters.

[caliban22]

Two Quidditch in our house perhaps?

[Shadowcatcher]

@World Traveler

Nice. We all have our own quirks when it comes to posting and such and it's certainly nit a bad thing to establish character interaction early on and in posts.

For me, I love visuals. Literally like I'll be spamming the IC with pictures XD
