American Hogwarts?

[Classpet]

So I was just thinking I've seen a lot of Hogwarts things but they're always built of the European hogwarts and canonically there is a North American Wizards school Near New York, US.

It'd basically be a slice of life dealio just like the other ones but with a different problem than in the book and a cool new setting.

I was thinking the US/Canada Wizards would be more separate from muggles than the European ones since the Salem witch trials could've forced them into secrecy or something idk and there could be a group of wizards about outing the whole wizard community to start a war and eventually make the US/Canada a wizard dominant country. Of course after that the bad dudes would want to take over the world and leave earth a muggle free place but like we'd stop them.
Point is they'd need followers and they could be trying to convince the students at RiverWing(That's what i'm going to call the American Hogwarts)

And I'm super hyped about this but i need people who can commit. Anyone for this?

Also I'm down to add in whatever if anyone has anymore ideas just Pm me or post them here.

[Jago]

I'm English, funnily enough. But interested.

[Classpet]

I'll Probably end up needing a few Co-GMs so if anyone is interested be sure to let me know, you'd have to help with keeping the plot moving and @mentioning people who need to post, helping me think of even more plot stuff to go with the plot stuff i already know of extra.

[Jago]

Could lend a hand. Just a question, though. Will we be starting off in first year or returning as older students?

[Classpet]

I was thinking returning as older students. 16-18.

Okay here's what i've been working on :>

It's kinda long :0c

Intro

The Wizards of America have avoided many troubles of the wizards of the modern age. Voldemort and his death eaters stayed mostly in Europe and while there was a frighting prospect of his coming to America, it was a nightmare that never occurred. Now thirty years later the American wizards have their own problems arising. A group of anti-secrecy wizards called the cloaks have come out and are threatening to out the entire American wizarding system.

Unlike the European Wizards The American wizards and muggles do not fair well with each other. The muggle president finds it unpatriotic that wizards don't join muggle armies or aid in muggle wars. American wizards and muggles are two very separate communities throughout The US and Canada. This separation goes so far that North american muggles don't even know that wizards are all around them. Unveiling the North American wizards could lead to a massacre and a civil war.

But our troubles lie else where. At RiverWing outside of New York, The finest Wizarding school in the entire Western Hemisphere. Here young wizards learn magic for 8 years before joining the ranks of wizard adults. What will you do?

Plot

This Rp will be focusing on our characters who will be 6 to 8th year students. Between our daily activities as students our characters will encounter the cloaks and perhaps defeat them.

Information

River wing

RiverWing doesn't split students into houses, instead students are split by grade level/year. There is a girls dorm and a boys dorm on opposite sides of the school, but generally students just mix in the court yard or study hall when hanging out.

Pets are optional but popular. So long as the pet is smaller than a dog and non-dangerouse any pet is generally aloud. Some more popular ones are cats, dogs and owls. Lizards, snakes, frogs, toads, every kind of bird and bugs are common enough as well. Wolves, eagles, and hawks have all been banned.

They do have school quiditch teams, split up by grade levels that have matches about once a month. The 9th and 10th year teams ussually have to be combined due to the few number of students who continue throughout the extra two years. The 7th or 8th year team usually wins.

@Jago
You might want to wait and see if anyone else want to do this, so far it's only me and you :0c
Also I'm still working& adding stuff to that. ;>
Feel free to think of what you're going to put there, I probably won't be taking stuff off.

@Classpet

Hey, you've put in effort for the concept. I'll work on an app either way. If it doesn't work out, I can always reconstruct it for something in future.

[Classpet]

uvu Thank you so much @Jago

I'll probs post the whole thing in the Casual RP tab tomorrow, people sometimes hop in there too so it'll be all cool

I'll tag anyone who posts here so they can find it

[Jago]

Maybe post this in Casual Interest Checks too? Would probably get more views.

[Always]

Agh, I would consider it but might get easily confused since I've only ever lived in South Africa/UK so I know next to nothing about America ;3;

[Mtntopview]

Will there be eagles instead of owls?

I'm sorry. That needed to be asked.
