Nevermind

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Seems a bit of a dramatic thing to do to a returning user, but go ahead.

Skyrim: Dragonsbane

Is this more toward High Casual or low? Just wondering. Will probably apply/.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

It's easy to shake off the rust here and enjoy yourself. Welcome.

Well, I've spoken with everyone. Could develop more with some people, but I have got some basic ideas here. Will just write a small summary of Calvin's opinion on them.

Adelie
Reliant on her consistency in some ways. Differs greatly in decision making, but considers her views often. (Pulled her out of the lake, became friends soon after.)
Rin
Values her opinion. Relies on her calmness in stressful situations. Someone who helps him relax. (No complex history, met in a class once and just got on well. Mutual friend with Adelie.)
Stella
Appreciates her friendliness. Respects her resilience in arguments and ability to turn the other cheek. (Met when they were paired together on a Care for Magical Creatures project.)
Zef
Relates as a male. Finds it easy to speak open to him as they've both spoken about their pasts together whilst he rarely speaks of his childhood with others. (Possibly met in DAtDA during Boggart lessons. Saw that they were similar in many ways.)

Hard to write a big chunk of text for this sort of thing in this context, just wanted to give people a loose idea of Calvin's opinion on everyone. Individually, you all know in more detail what his thoughts are.

I don't know when you guys want to head to IC but I'm okay for whenever.

A combination of the two could be nice. The books themselves are a little of both, showing the students going through the motions but with the overarching plot that builds through the series. Maybe the various events they go through could lead to a bigger picture overall.I think that because this RP is titled "Lumos," it could be fun to play the themes of casting light into darkness and/or bringing secrets to light.

I like it.
Maybe some corruption inside of Hogwarts, but on a larger scale than before... perhaps the Death Eaters are making a return, and there are already some on the inside.

And of course, either way, we will be spending most the time doing normal stuff, just it may end up pretty intense later on.

Obviously I have vague ideas but nothing is set in stone.

We kind of have two options;
1) Just go through a typical school years with all the normal trials and tribulations that people face. Few big issues dotted here and there, but nothing near the scale of the HP books or anything like that.
2) Have a significant plot where we face big, worldwide issues.

If you guys would prefer the latter, a Death Eater resurgence could be cool (predictable in some ways, but cool nonetheless), with our own twist on it. It would mean that if we eventually get to the point where the characters leave the school, there would be still plotpoints to follow. I have more ideas around this but as I said I'm flexible.

Yay the OOC is finally up! May I suggest for the first post that the setting be on a train ride to Hogwarts at the start of a new year. I'm thinking that since our first posts will be about how our characters met everyone else, it might be nice to have them sitting in the same compartment on the train and we can simply go around and explain how they met eachother? just a thought ^^i have backstories with Adelie, Zef and Calvin so Stella and Rin need some kind of history. @Thought Manifest lets get on that ^^

Backstories don't have to be in the IC, just thought it'd be nice to have them here just so everyone is on the same page. I agree that the first place should be involving the train. Probably the first post will be leaving home+boarding the train+sitting down and greeting everyone.

yay!

Of course. We could talk OOC sometime. For now, I'm gonna' be mean and say no more people but I guess there is always the possibility of more people, just not right now.

Blind Hand - Chapter 1 : Pathways

I don't know. I'm going to wait a while before writing this off but it would be frustrating if that's the case.

OP really likes strikethrough.
Anyway, welcome. :)
