[OOC] Hogwarts: The Next Generation

[Angel Eyes]

I'm soooo gonna join. Once I get home from work I'll whip up a character sheet.

[4weekcoma]

@Angel Eyes great, I'm looking forward to it

[World Traveler]

Acck sorry @SilverWolfAngel and @caliban22 just realized I didn't ask if your characters would want to be a part of that scene. Need me to edit?

Just a heads up I am really big on collaborative posts so if people are interested in doing one of those with me let me know and we can work out some scenes and stuff. Love adding big chunks and moving stuff forward.

[caliban22]

sure. I guess and go ahead and hit me up if you wanna collab.

[Shadowcatcher]

Working on a post now and I'm just thinking to myself...

No... I took this too far. But... I've gone to far to turn back now.

People may just start calling my character Loony Lucy after this one.

[Asuu]

Will definitely be a treat to see.

Also, I forgot to add; and I'll put it in my CS later. He has a pet, which acts as a regular pet, and as a messenger bird, named Noire. It's a magical eagle; a Golden Eagle, to be exact. Due to a rune formed on the eagle's chest, created painlessly by both Gabriel and his father, Blaine, she can be summoned directly to the boy's shoulder if Gabriel flexes the magic in his own rune, which is on his palm. Similarly, whenever the eagle is in danger, and her heartbeat quickens, she can teleport itself to Gabriel by pecking the rune on her chest. Due to her unnaturally intelligent nature, being a magical creature, she knows when to do this. She also exhibits a form of mute sentience, understanding everything around it, and responding with quiet, warm squawks, angry pecks, or dismissive flapping of her wings.

She's, by far, Gabriel's absolute best friend, and much like a mother-hen to him.

[SilverWolfAngel]

@World Traveler It's okay I guess, although I was planning to have Luc come in looking like his deceased grandma Tonks, Bubblegum pink hair and all. :)

Poooosted. Enjoy.

And this should be complete.

Hider

Appearance:
Name: Adrian Bennett
Age: 17
School Year: Sixth Year
House: Ravenclaw
Short Bio: Adrian Bennett went largely unremarked for his first two years. He was sorted into Ravenclaw, which led many to believe he was clever or smart in some fashion, but he never truly showed it outside of a chessboard, where he beat quite a few people rather soundly. It wasn't until the end of his second year, however, that something showed up. He had gone out to watch the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team scrimmage against the Gryffindors, and during a timeout he waved at his House's Captain to come see him. There, on the sidelines, in the 30 seconds allowed by the timeout, he outlined the entire match- holes in the Gryffindor defense, weaknesses in their offense, things the Ravenclaws could do to exploit them, everything. The Ravenclaws came back to win by 50 points, Snitch not included. That was when the Ravenclaw Captain noticed something about this guy. And after he was taken in and groomed to be a Keeper, he tried out and made the team in his Third Year. After that, everybody started to figure out just what kind of cleverness it was that made the hat call out "RAVENCLAW!" on his first night. Especially the House Head, who proceeded to name him a Quidditch Captain in his 5th year.

The fact that Peeves regularly salutes him in the hallways, however, has quite a number of people worried about him and possible connections to various pranks over the past 3 years...

Personality: Adrian is a trickster by nature. Not exactly in the sense of Peeves or the Weasley Twins, where the tricks involve pranking an unsuspecting student. More like a tactical trickster. He's a schemer and a planner, and nobody can ever be quite sure of what those schemes and plans involve. But crazy things have been known to happen under his influence, and very few people will willingly face him in Wizard Chess.
Classes taken:
-Defense Against the Dark Arts
-Charms
-Transfiguration
-Potions
-Runes
Wand: Rosewood, 13 inches, Dragon Heartstring Core
Hobbies: Quidditch (Keeper Position, Ravenclaw Captain), Chess, Playing games with the unsuspecting student populace
Pets: Chester, a very intelligent and well-trained Corgi.

@Saltwater Thief

I'm reminded of Sherlock Holmes.

[Asuu]

Ayyy, I like that character a lot.

[Feisty-Pants]

[NarcissisticPotato]

Ah, I see no one has yet to nab the antagonist spot! Let me step right in!

I solemly swear I am up to no good!

Alyssa Carrow

Appearance:


Name: Alyssa Carrow

Age: 16

School Year: Fifth Year

House: Slytherin

Bio: One would be hard pressed to find a wizard or a witch that didn't know the Carrow family. Although Alyssa was from a minor branch of that family, she was still closely related to the Carrow Twins who were given control of Hogwarts after Voldemort took over the ministry of magic. For that, her family were slightly avoided by normal wizards but it was hard to avoid one of the most powerful wizarding families in the country.

Alyssa was the youngest child and only girl amongst her three older brothers. For that reason, she was spoiled rotten when she was a child - anything she wanted, she got and there was even a number of things that she didn't want that she got. Growing up was easy for her, if her brothers ever annoyed her or gave her any problems then she would turn on the water-works and run to her father. Quickly, however, she discovered that this only worked in the case of her brothers and very rarely worked when dealing with other children. She needed something new, something that could allow her to bend and warp their little minds. It was only when she turned nine did she figure out what it was. All she needed to do was befriend the right people, make the right contacts and she had total control.

Moving from a private school to Hogwarts was easy, she had already made friends with other children from rich backgrounds and so, when she was put into Slytherin, her rise was expected. Unlike most of the other pure-blooded children that joined her, Alyssa had a lot going for her up in that thick skull of hers and she used it with deadly efficiency. Bonds were made, friendships destroyed and she felt rather smug that she had did it all. Having a brother who was a professional quidditch player did help her gain a few others as well, but also made her pretty good at the sport.

Personality: Personality? No; the main question is whether she would be diagnosed as a psychopath or not. It's not that she's particularly dangerous (unless angered) to anyone but she does have a rather shady sense of moral judgement. She's not unsociable, in fact she's like a sharp-edged sword when it comes to social encounters. Whether it's a witty remark or providing her opinions (mostly unwanted), then she can easily handle it all and take it in her stride. The paramount problem, however, is the fact that she really makes no effort to conceal her displeasure for muggles or half-bloods or simply anyone who connives with the whole lot. This has caused her to gain a little support in Slytherin but a main back-lash from other students. Like she'd care, of course.

Still however, she isn't one to mock you until she watches you and judges your usefulness to her before she categories you. Some people will gain her trust and she'll allow them to wiggle their way into her inner group. Most will be completely uninteresting to her and she'll let them ones drift through but occasionally, she finds a threat. A threat is someone who has the potential to destroy the chaotic system that she has engineered. Someone who could be close to her or her arch-nemesis - that's why she has to watch. In terms of school work, she usually tries pretty hard but likes to give the appearance that she isn't - her reasons for trying is because her parents would be rather disappointed if she got bad results.

Skills-
Strengths:
- Charms
- History of Magic
- Good at flying
- Quite intelligent

Weaknesses:
- Transfiguration
- Herbology
- She's almost desperate to please her parents - she'll quite literally do anything.
- Little to no chance of her opening up to someone
- Despite having pretty decent looks, she hates getting compliments and this makes her mad.

Classes:
- Transfiguration
- Defence Against the Dark Arts
- Charms
- Potions
- History of Magic.

Hobbies:
- Charms
- Beating others with charms

- Causing mischief amongst the Muggle Appreciation Group (more than likely with charms)
- Quidditch
- History of magic

Wand:
11 inches, blackthorn with Dragon heartstring core.


Pet:
Beatrice Evermore

So. Would Ms. Carrow be a client of The Red Fox? :3

And to be fair, I'm SORT OF an antagonist. Sort of. Kinda. Walking-the line kind of person.

Posted.
Two things;
One; Luc sometimes will slip into specking french, which he often speaks at home due to his grandmother (Fleur) being from France, and Victoire (his mum) having made sure that he knows french.
Two; Just warning you that my access to the internet is gonna be a tad erratic, so I apologize beforehand if I am a little late replying. :)

[Shadowcatcher]

O.O wow we have a lot of people now.

Is there going to be some kind of cut off point or is this meant to be a large group rp?

Edit: sorry it's taking longer for me to post. Im re writibg my intro into something less showy since we already have enough of that. I'll save the good stuff for later XD

My post will be up shortly.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Now we have a psychopath, a loner and a mentally-scarred girl! Go team Slytherin! Woo!
