Current No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style.

Arguing over petty details at times of dimensional emergency was a familiar wizardly trait.

A wizard never had friends, at least not friends who were wizards. It needed a different word. Ah yes, that was it. Enemies. But a very different class of enemies. Gentlemen.

I'm interested, but is there still room?
I'll get something up soon, sorry for the delay!
~Character Sheet

Full Name: Miles Shepherd

Age: 11

Blood: Muggleborn

Alignment: Good

House: Hufflepuff

Personality: Miles is a charming young lad at age eleven, who loves his mommy and daddy (and even his older sister Jane, even though she sometimes pinches his cheek or pulls his hair). He is the kind of boy who places a polished red apple on his teachers desk every day, not because he wants to get on his/her good side but because he thinks s/he might be hungry after so many hours of teaching. Miles absolutely adores animals, especially his beagle Baxter, who he unfortunetly wasn't allowed to bring to Hogwarts by his parents. His greatest wish is for a world where everyone is happy and satisfied.

Apart from being nice to everyone and generally jovial, Miles is naive. He thinks other people are like himself and assumes they want him well and that they tell the truth all of the time. Some might accuse Miles of stupidity because of this, but the boy is anything but dumb. It's just that his good nature sometimes keeps him from seeing people for what they really are. This affinity for trusting people has led to other kids trying to bully Miles during his childhood, something they have luckily failed at doing mainly thanks to Miles sister, who has protected him to the best of her ability.

As a sidenote, Miles muggle upbringing has rendered him completely oblivious to Lord Voldemorts existence, and that a war ever took place.

Bio\History: Miles is born and raised in Dartmoor, in southern England. He is the youngest member in a family of four (or five, if you count Baxter the beagle); his mother Laura, his father Dan, his sister Jane, and of course Miles himself. His grandparents are dead on his fathers side, but he loves the frequent visits his family make to his mothers parents, Themla and George, up in Nottingham (their applepie is the best, hands down). His favourite pastime is exploring the vast moor outside the town with his trusty Baxter at his side, imagining all sorts of adventures as he goes. He has lived a happy, carefree life thus far, devoid of misery or unexpected events.

Imagine the shock, then, when the letter from Hogwarts came on the day of his eleventh birthday. Miles, gullible as he is, instantly believed it all to be true and showered his parents with joy and gratitude. Laura and Dan played along during the day, and had a minor (or major) argument that same evening concerning what they believed to be a really nasty prank, and whom it was that was responsible. As things turned out, however, it all WAS real, and Miles got to go to a school where they taught wizardry and witchcraft.

Appearance:

Notable skills: Charms, Transfiguration, Care for Magical Creatures

Wand: Willow wood, 10 inches, a strand of unicorn hair.

Patronus Charm: Not yet discovered.

Pet: None (Baxter is the only one for Miles, even if he likes other animals too).
Interested! Will check out the thread :)
Hello all, been away for the weekend, will have a new post up by tomorrow!
You're still welcome to join in whenever you feel like it!
Everything happened so fast. Jaden had been standing by the bar, waiting for service when the armor clad thug from before suddenly pulled a gun and started waving it around, making demands. When she opened fire all hell broke loose. Jaden saw the remaining two droids reach for their weapons and acted on instinct. She used her powers to pull the blasters away from their metallic masters and produced her own gun. She waved at the thug, trying to get her attention, and hollared across the bar "Let's go! To the elevator!". The thug then leveled her blaster at Jaden, out of the blue, and the young Jedi thought that her time had come. The ray went past her head and struck something behind her. Jaden turned to see the smoking, fizzing wreckage of a droid slowly falling over backwards, a blaster which in all probability had been pointed at her in its grip. Jaden cursed herself once more for not having seen it before it was too late. At least she was still lucky. The rest of the cantina didn't seem to be doing much about the situation they were currently in. Most had produced weapons of some kind, and some had escaped outside, but noone took any action against Jaden or the armored thug. This probably wasn't all that out of the ordinary here in Vespas. In an attempt to keep the initiative, Jaden quickly made her way towards the elevator and chased the droids inside it away at gunpoint. She then turned towards the thug once more. "Get in!" she shouted "We're going upstairs!"

This was either the smartest or the dumbest thing she'd done today.
When she was almost at the doors, a guard which had been sitting in the shadows stood up and faced her. Jadens heart sank; it was a robot, a modified protocol droid with extra plating and armed with blasters. She cursed herself for not seeing it sooner. Be mindful of your surroundings, Jaden, her master always said. What a star apprentice she'd turned out to be. Her mind tricks wouldn't help her here. "HALT", the droid said with a cold metallic tone, "IDENTIFY AND STATE BUSINESS". Jaden wasn't sure what to do, but quickly decided to try and talk her way in anyway. She altered her facial expression to an impatient snarl, crossed her arms in front of her and generally tried her best to look like one of the regulars. "Name's Sul, canner" she growled with her best thug voice, "I'm here to speak with Bossna. Let me in". The droid stared at her, its face devoid of emotion and movement. "SUL. UNREGISTERED VISITOR. PLEASE WAIT WHILE I CONTACT THE SECOND FLOOR" the droid said and, without turning, bend its arm backwards in a way impossible to humans and attached one of its fingers into a socket on the wall.

Jaden couldn't tell if this was going well or south. Bossna didn't know she existed, so the name Sul could mean anything to him. There were of course alternatives to this approach, but Jaden didn't feel like abandoning the peaceful way just yet. Being bored with observing the expressionless droid doing nothing, Jaden turned around briefly to inspect what the rest of the clientele was doing. At first she didn't see anything remotely interesting, but then her eyes got stuck on one of the thugs. The stranger was armored, colored maroon and black, and was looking right at her. Jaden forced herself to break eye contact, but couldn't resist another small peek. The stranger was still looking. Jaden didn't have any time to think about it, however, as the droid spoke up again. "MASTER BOSSNA INFORMS ME HE IS NOT EXPECTING VISITORS" it began and put a steady hand on its blaster, "PLEASE STEP BACK AND GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS". Jaden held up her hands, showing the droid her palms, and backed away slowly. She had to think fast. "Of course he's not expecting me!" she said, "He doesn't know me! But tell him I've got a proposition, and that it involves a lot of credits!". The droid stared at her once more, never lowering the blaster. "PLEASE WAIT" it said, finally. Jaden exhaled and calmed herself. She was in a tight spot, but the promise of credits would hopefully be enough bait for Bossna to let her inside. Hopefully. "THE MASTER INFORMS ME THAT HE IS NOT INTERESTED" the droid suddenly said, "AND THAT I AM TO EXPEL YOU FROM THIS DOOR. LEAVE". She would have argued further, but she got the feeling that the droid wouldn't warn her again before shooting. Grudgingly, she stepped back and walked away from the doors. A new plan was in order. But first a drink.

The droid at the door, meanwhile, kept its gaze fixed on her. "STEP FORTH" it said with a hushed voice. Another droid, armed to the teeth and scorched with marks from blaster hits and other damage, stepped out of the shadows next to the first one. "OBSERVE AND FOLLOW TARGET SUL" The first droid continued, "STUN AND CAPTURE WHEN ALONE. BRING TARGET IN FOR INTERROGATION AND DETENTION". The second droid moved ahead without a sound and was soon lost in the crowd of visitors.
You're all welcome to jump in whenever you want!
@RumikoOhara: I'm going to accept your character, but first I'll say a few words. As I can't find anything on the Ko'Secti on google I'm assuming you made them up. That's fine (really it's great, I love creativity!), BUT I also think it is vital to be fair and to keep with the overall feel of the game when creating something for oneself. As it currently stands your character is a one man army without any weakness, and doesn't really "fit in" with the atmosphere of this game. IN MY OPINION, this is. I can't speak for any other player. I will however trust your judgement and assume you'll use this to the advantage of the story, and not your character!
