[OOC] Finite Incantatem [AU Harry Potter RP]

[Phloem]

Finally done! Sorry for the wait! Also, this might be a little wonky since I wrote about 90% of at like, 3 in the morning. Hope it's okay, though. :P

[Phloem]

Sweet, I'll move it to the character tab, then. :D

[Jig]

Are you Dutch/Belgian, Phloem?

[Phloem]

Nope, my uncle is, though. I can't really speak Dutch, but I think I know enough of it (hopefully).

[Jig]

Ahh, okay. I speak Dutch, so I spotted the 'oe' in your username, and the 'Fortuyn' surname and that Ludo speaks French and Dutch as well as English and it gave me something of a clue.

In other news, McHaggis, can we maybe order the character list like this pls? Each name has a tag to give an idea of who they are, and they're listed in alphabetical order (according to their role, then by name, with exception for Ronan and Alberta, who naturally come first, and with those not yet in the Ashes/in play separate.

Something Like This?

RONAN FINDLEY-BARR - leader
ALBERTA ASHDOWN - second in command
MARCUS JACOBS - duellist
KYLE MCCARTHY - duellist
SIOBHAN MACFUSTY - expert in magical creatures
ALORA CALDWELL - healer
ERIN MURDOCK - healer
VIKTOR VON GESNER - historian/librarian
DREW CALLAGHAN - saboteur
LUDOVIC FORTUYN - smuggler
LUTHER CUNNINGHAM - spy
BLAKE MAEVEEN - spy

LARRY DALE - intel
MIA DUBOIS - spy

Have you guys got a Potions master yet? If you need one, I think I can whip something up when I get off of work tonight.

[Jig]

It doesn't appear that we do. ^^

Sure, can do.

@McHaggis

Cheers duck. Marked spies was pretty handy as well.

In other news:
@Phloem - during what time period is Ludo monkeying about as a snatcher?

[rawkhawk64]

Okay, then. I'll get to work on a slightly addled Potions Master.

[Phloem]

@Jig I'd say from about... '92 to '96, or possibly even '97-ish? Figured he'd only get roped into the whole Snatcher business a little after the Ministry went dark side.

[Jig]

Just wondering, because Larry was on the bad side of the Ministry at that point, too, so it's possible they knew each other. Larry was more of a hack journalist rather than any kind of field-agent, though, so, on that thought, they'd probably only ever have met each other a few times, by chance, so perhaps it's kind of a non-starter. xD

[Phloem]

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't think they'd really know each other, either. But maybe a vague, "hey, you're that guy" moment would be in order. xD

In other news, it's about 2 a.m. where I am, so I'd best be going to sleep. :U

[Frettzo]

Actually, I think I'll pass on creating a character just yet--I'll be reading the IC though. University's got me busy lately :p

[Jig]

'Painful' might be the word. :P

It occurred to me last night that Larry Dale basically thinks he is the magical Russell Brand, with a bonus side order of snide, petulant humour and general sleaze. Take the sleaze from the radio announcer from this, plus wannabe armchair 'Blitz Spirit'-evokery, Fred and George's irreverent humour, super-fast talking with fake grandeur and polish, all interspersed with some really bad muggle music.

I haven't decided what the muggle music is, but rest assured I'll find some truly glorious gems for his first post, and I also haven't decided whether he genuinely likes it, or only likes it ironically as a protest against snakeface. I'm not sure which is sleazier.

Oh, and lots of quotes from Orwell. He loves him some Orwell.

I'm basically only running Bertha as well so I can play one character that isn't a dreadful person or somebody I want to be dead by the end. In anything.

[rawkhawk64]

Wasn't sure if where I was supposed to post the CS, but my character's in the Char tab.

@rawkhawk64

You may want to check your math against the timeline. I think your character would have grown up with Voldy's rising to power. I'm not 100% because math is not my strong suit (and I'm not even doing it, I'm just guessing from the age of your character).

[rawkhawk64]

I'll re-math the age if necessary.

EDIT: Added 10 years to his age, as he would've been 9 at the attack on Godric's Hollow. So, now it happened when he was a young adult and would've been a prime recruit for the Order.
