:P It's very good. I'd recommend the books highly.

Hogwarts: The Golden Era

I understand completely, Damon, and I apologize. I just... for games that take place in a universe I know a lot about (such as this), I tend to approach things as if I was the GM. The actual GMs of this thread haven't been around for a couple of days, and haven't commented on anyone's sheets yet, so in this case it's even harder for me to ignore things like "this character has the obvious qualities of a Slytherin, but under House he's put Gryffindor". Without some kind of mitigating factor (i.e. the Hat), it isn't plausible for someone with those characteristics to be in Gryffindor, and I feel the overwhelming need to say something about it.

-sigh- In my mind, all I did was bring up an incongruity and cite a few places where the incongruity is most obvious, but on the receiving end, it's a blatant attack on your character concept, and that's just not cool. My dilemma is, though, until you tell me that you know he is a bit Slytherin-ish but you want him to be in Gryffindor anyway, I have no idea why the incongruity exists. For all I know, the Gryffindor is a mistake, and you meant to put Slytherin. If I don't say anything, the incongruity's going to persist, and it's going to be wrong.

:( I have a complex about things being wrong. Again, Damon, I meant no offense against you or your character, and thank you for pointing out my being an asshat. I'm always trying to be more polite about these things, and most of the time I don't manage it, but I'll keep trying.

Well, then, all you have to do is include a mention of an unusual Sorting Hat experience, specifically one where it said he should be in Slytherin, but (perhaps knowing the reputation even modern Slytherins might have) he wanted to be in Gryffindor instead, and told the Hat so. It's well established that the Hat will listen to and acquiesce (perhaps with a warning or a "you would have been a good ___") to requests to be in a different House than it recommends.

Um, Damon, are you sure Adele isn't a Slytherin? High ambitions and a respect for power is... kind of their thing, not Gryffindor's.

You didn't mention anything special with the hat, so if he didn't choose Gryffindor, I don't think he belongs there. That's just me, though, based on your summary of his personality.

-'Uncaring,' 'angry,' and 'mean' are three things that Adele has often been described as throughout his whole life. His attitude and demeanor has caused a lot of people to label him such as that. He isn't as uncaring, angry, or mean once you get to know him, well you just get used to the fact that, that's just how he is and it is okay to be like that.

-Adele is a power-hungry youth, he wants success and power and he wants it fast. The young wizard does whatever he can to improve to become more successful and powerful, he wants to strive to the highest point possible, sometimes ignoring the fact that it can possibly hurt or endanger the others around him and himself.

-Driven to a fault, Adele likes accomplishments and finishing something is what he is known to do no matter what the task. He does what he is told and does it well, even if it causes himself pain or discomfort, he finds a way to overcome it or has to at least.

... ;) I see what you did there.

(EDIT: For context, februari's sheet had "human" at first, instead of "muggle")

I've honestly never seen anyone describe magical people in this universe as inhuman... I mean, the two groups are obviously different, but I think it was pretty well established that humans are humans, and magical humans are just those who happen to have magic (it's even a distinct focus of Voldemort-and-company's philosophy: Muggles and their progeny are less than human, worthy of scorn at best and execution at worst; Dumbledore et al. disagree).

:) It gives an interesting insight into Andi's psyche, given that she was mostly raised among Muggles, and is now living entirely within the Wizarding World.

Hogwarts: The Golden Era

:) Hello! Gotta say, I always love to see Potter-verse RPs around. I might not put up a student sheet for this one, considering you already have several and you're only looking for two characters... But I could play, or at least give you a few teacher characters, if you want them. They wouldn't be a big part of the story, of course, but your current roster is woefully small.

Oh, and I noticed a small mistake in the OP: In the class list, you've got Ancient Runes twice and no History of Magic... Plus, most of the "Electives" are still N.E.W.T.-level classes (Arithmancy, Alchemy, Ancient Runes, Divination and Care of Magical Creatures are, at least), and you can drop things like Potions, Transfig, Astronomy, etc., making all of the classes Electives once you get past your O.W.L.s. Just a thought.

:) Much better.

:/ Hide yourselves? I thought we already determined that women would be a significant part of the fighting force.

Soul Munchers (A Soul Eater Knock-Off RP)

Damn it, I really don't think I want to be in this game. Just... damn it. I keep going back and forth, but I haven't actually written anything yet for my character. It's a flimsy premise, and I can't make it work. -sigh- Soul Eater RPs must be anathema to me, I've never been able to be in one.

...Anyway, yeah, it's not going to work. Sorry, Kilt. This time I'm really going to be gone. Unsubscribed and everything.
