Salem Witches' Institute {Harry Potter}

No problem. I didn't know you didn't reply since rpg was messing up lol. The thing about the fire was I thought about witch burnings. They could step into a bonfire type thing and the colors reveal their house. But Salem was hangings and drownings wasn't it. As for transportation, let's not rule out a fleet of Knight Bus types. Except since they have further to go, maybe a little nicer. But for now it's time to sleep. I'll try and make my CS edits tomorrow.

Hmm what about something similar to the goblet of fire? You toss something in and the fire changes color?

I think last time I suggested the idea of some sort of magical hyperloop thing. Just some ideas. I'll see what else I can think up

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Thanks!

EDIT: And of course by "post tonight" I mean tomorrow night....

My life recently got very busy due to having to find a new job and other things. I apologize for my absence and inactivity. As it is, I'm having a lot of trouble writing anything for Celso. I think it best if I just withdraw at this point. I'm sorry.

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Ah man. Sorry about my complete absence. Recently started job hunting again (while still working my current job), coupled with some other things it took up all my time. I'll try and post tonight.

Salem Witches' Institute {Harry Potter}

I'll be reposting my character. Just coming out of a particularly busy period myself.

EDIT:

Oh is the only difference the houses?

I'll just leave this here for now. I plan to change the house and might tweak the character a bit, but overall should be the same.

Wand:

12 1/4" Sequoia with dragon heart string, reasonably supple

Personality:

Dorado is sure of himself in almost every degree. He was rarely denied anything growing up and quickly found that he's good at what he likes to do. That's not to say he doesn't work for it, he does. He's just lucky enough to have that extra bit of talent adding to what he accomplishes. He's a social person, enjoying conversing with people of different backgrounds and learning from them. He strives to treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Dor loves attention and is not afraid to stand out with what he does. He'll answer any question in class, pull impressive maneuvers on the Quidditch pitch, and often speak out loud and at length of his various accomplishments. However, he'll gladly play up the accomplishments of others as well, especially his friends. So long as he's the one who gets to tell the story. He can be a competitive guy, enjoying proving that he's better at Potions or Quidditch or chess, and he finds it very difficult to be a graceful loser when he's bested.

Despite his best efforts to be respectful towards all, he often falls short. He's not only confident in his own judgment and beliefs, but can be rather self-righteous when it comes to the treatment of non-wizards, letting him conveniently overlook the lack of respect he's currently showing for a witch or wizard. He considers himself above those who lack both talent and the work ethic to make up for a lack of talent. He figures there's no excuse to not be good at something. Adding to his list of shortcoming in the respect department is the way he can be with girls. Not that he thinks women are inferior. His mother is a clear example of why that's absolutely idiotic. No, he's just a teenage boy who often overlooks the feelings and personalities of young women in his quest to get some action. But it's harmless, it's not like he's actually gone after another girl while in a relationship. Well... except that one time. It's clear that despite his well-meaning values, he's still got a lot of learning to do about humans and magical creatures alike before he can truly make a difference.

He enjoys a good party and a good time. He waves away any concerns that he could damage his reputation for the future with a favorite quote from his father: "No politician is to be trusted. But I'd take one who's flaws I can see over one who seems flawless."

Biography:(At least two paragraphs)

Dorado was raised by relatively average magical parents. His mother is a gifted witch of Brazilian descent. In her time at school she was in Warren, a skilled potioneer and head of the Astronomy Club. His father, in Good, was never too skilled in magic. Despite that he managed to charm the young witch working at Foxglove and Mushrooms in his seventh year. The two later moved to Arizona and run their own apothecary outside of Tucson.

Growing up an only child, Dorado has always considered himself something special. His parents' love and full support gave him the confidence and to after any goal he had, no matter how small or how outlandish it may be. His parents allowed him to learn for himself what was within his limits rather than squash his dreams outright. His parents' apothecary served as the primary source of potions and ingredients in much of the area between Texas and California, and as such his mother often had to restock. From an early age, Dorado was fascinated by the man who dealt in ingredients from magical creatures. He came in every month with wild stories and great quantities of ingredients for his mother. As he grew up and slowly got to know the man that was Ezra Noyer, he learned more and more about the magical natural world. Specifically, how unhappy it was with wizard-kind.

When it came time to go to Salem Witch's Institute, Dorado was overjoyed at the idea of finally learning more about magical creatures for himself as well as the art to which his mother had devoted her life. As he continued his time at Hogwarts, a few things became very clear to him. One was that, as a whole, the world wizarding community was irresponsible in its interactions with non-wizards. He also began to think that he was the one who would do something about it. It also became clear to him that he was good at Quidditch and that that got him attention from girls. He chose his classes in his third year with the intention of one day going on to represent the interests of magical beings and muggles alike. After graduating from Salem Witch's Institute he plans to either attend a Muggle University or spend a few years assisting Mr. Noyer in his work, perhaps one then the other. Following that he wishes to become a representative in the Republic once he feels he really understands these outside parties.

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Posted! A little rushed, but I wanted to get back into it before I got distracted

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Nolan entered the room, taking note of the decoration, or lack of decoration. While the room lit from above was interesting all on it own, the doorways blocked by iron bars drew his attention. Who knew what sorts of passages and secrets lay through through those arches. He was glad to see that Professor Quinn was not there waiting for them. The young Slytherin boy looked around, trying to decide where to sit when he caught sight of Caelum waving at him from the back row of seats.

While he had grown to prefer a seat in the front to better pay attention, he found that in this classroom with this professor, sitting in the back sounded like the best idea. He sat down with a smile. "How are classes so far? OH! and did you ever get word to your dad that you're okay?" He was curious as to how her father would have reacted and would listen, despite the sound of the singing boy across the room.

The arrival of their professor made him nervous once more. He was relieved to hear that she would be forgiving about tardiness. Even though he himself hadn't been tardy, he breathed easier to see that she could be understanding. Maybe he could still try and get his friends out of their detention. He was also glad to hear she would be waiting a few minutes before starting. He turned to Caelum. "These classes already seem hard. It's gonna be a lot of work..." He felt a mixture of anxiety and excitement at the seven long years ahead and it crept into his voice.
