@Apokalipse hehe XD

So how does this schedule thing work out? Do I make up my own? And would you like me to go ahead and write a first post?

@PhunkyPhoebe

Apo makes the schedules.

@PhunkyPhoebe

Don't worry about it, I'll make the schedule whenever I have time to sit down and compare to make sure you share a class with other peeps and all that. You can go ahead and make a post, and if you want to include your schedule, you can just edit it in later when I'm finished.

[GoddessSophia]

@Apokalipse Thanks, will do :)

@Sep

I'm not sure what you mean no quidditch, but I can assure you Quidditch is included in the RP. I think at least two of our characters are on their respective teams (mine included :D)

[Random Kitty]

Quidditch is evil and must be destroyed.

dangles a feather in front of Kitty to distract them from destroying Quidditch

@Prints Avoid

Oh my bad, I was looking through on an initial skim for mention of it and didn't come across it.

interest intensifies

Understandable ^_^ I have a tendency to go overboard sometimes

[Joshua Tamashii]

Would anyone like to interact with a cute little first year?

[Yorutenchi]

I have a few questions.

1st) Is this the only school in North America? Is there a western school out in Cali or Washington? Does Canada have its own school or is it more like a "north American" school rather than simply American school? Is the government a mirror of our current political scheme or is the magical government inclusive to all of North America?

@Yorutenchi

It is the only school in North America (so people in Canada and Mexico would go there) which means it's a pretty large school. The government started out as only governing the US but eventually expanded around the time of The Spanish-American War and the Panama Canal (the muggle population's increase in global affairs (and subsequent imperialism) during this time may or may not have been related to the recent imperialism the Wizards were involved in. The wizarding government took over Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and small parts of Asia (An Asian rebellion happened on the eve of World War II and Cuba was later relinquished).

Sorry for the history lesson ^_^'

@Apokalipse

NO no. that is what I want. The better I understand the lore of the world the better it is for me personally. How many students are we talking about. The combined population of North America is substantially higher than that of the United Kingdom. Is our ratio of Wizard to Muggle far smaller than in the UK?

@Yorutenchi

The ratio is smaller because only a few wizarding families came over from Europe compared to the many muggle families. While Native Americans do have magic, they do not conform to the European "witch" and "wizard" name/idea and are independent of the American magic community. The students at Salem are around 1,600 to 2,000 which is 10x the 200 students at Hogwarts. Homeschooling is a popular option among the American community because the classes tend to be very large at Salem, so it doesn't provide a lot of 1 on 1 teaching.

Speaking of which, while I have a list of teachers, they are not the only teachers, just the only important ones that handle the students you'll be playing.

[Apokalipse]

Sorry there's been no post, I've been distracted while making two more characters (twins) for those who do not know but I am currently collabing with @Ghost Butt right now with Aella and Ariadne, so that will be up sometime
