Those who remained | Harry Potter

I am not going to write out an elaborate plot for this, as the basics for this are very simple. This will be a role-play involving the students who attended Hogwarts under the reign of Severus Snape. Dumbledore is dead, Voldemort is at large, and muggle-borns are forced into hiding. I have included in the spoiler a brief round-up of what Hogwarts was like 1997-1998.

Should this gain enough interest, I will do a class schedule for all year groups to follow, list rules from the Carrow POV and new Ministry guidelines. Just basically provide a lot more information.

Some rules that need adhering too.

01. We will be playing as the students who attend the school under the new regime, so there can be no muggle-born students I am afraid.
02. All houses are welcome, but there will be no Slytherin students in the DA, as keeping with the books.
03. Ideally I would like for everyone to play original characters. Canon characters are going to be kept as puppets and open for everyone to play if and when they should need them. However, be sure to keep the canon true to their character.
04. No Metamorphmai, half-breeds (Veela, etc), werewolves or anything like that. I’m sorry but I would like all students/characters to be kept on the same level.
05. I will be placing a three paragraph minimum per post. I have placed this in casual, but would like to keep the standards of the role-play at a higher level. Use word to double check your posts.
06. Third person, past tense only.
07. Nothing anime, emo, scene, cartoon like at all. All pictures must be life photography.
08. I am more than happy for people to have multiple characters, so long as you can keep up with them. I myself will be playing two characters and puppet the teachers and what not.
09. I am looking for a co-GM, and you must know the books before taking that role, and be happy to help me play out the Carrows, Snape and so forth.

Hogwarts under Snape

Snape becomes Headmaster, as announced in the Daily Prophet on the first of September. Alecto Carrow becomes the new Muggle Studies teacher, and her brother Amycus becomes the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher - both become Deputy Headmasters under Snape. Slughorn becomes the Head of Slytherin House and continued to teach Potions. Attendance at Hogwarts becomes mandatory for all appropriately-aged children who could prove their blood status. No Muggle-borns were able to attend the school, and only half-bloods with proof of their magical heritage are able to attend.

Muggle Studies becomes a required class and educates students about how Muggles are filth. The class teaches straight from the Ministry's anti-Muggle propaganda. Defence Against the Dark Arts is renamed Dark Arts. The schools set curriculum has changed to include the unforgivable curses and more brutal hexes, the seventh-years are even told to practice the Cruciatus curse on students in detention.

The Carrows are also in charge of punishment of students, though most staff avoid reporting rule-breaking. The punishments for rule-breaking are cruel and varied, and include: the Cruciatus Curse, chaining students in the Great Hall, and physical corporal punishment with beatings and knives.

Dumbledore's Army continues to operate under the leadership of Neville, Ginny, and Luna. The DA rebel against the Death Eaters by refusing to practice the Dark Arts, standing up to the Carrows, and sneaking out to write rebellious graffiti on the walls. At one point in the spring, Neville, fearing for his life, flees to the Room of Requirement and remains there. The passage to the Hog's Head appears to Neville and the students when they get hungry, because the Room cannot produce food. The Room expands and creates hammocks to sleep in and washing facilities as more DA members come to live there.The emblems of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepluff are present in the Room, but not Slytherin, implying heavily that there are no Slytherin DA members.

Survival | Dystopian | Not for the weak

This role play is for mature writers and characters only. Swearing, racism, sexism, violence, prejudice etc. it is all accepted. The theme is dark and dangerous, and I want the characters to be able to fit into the scenario. I’ve got the idea for this from watching some films, and reading books and an advert for a TV show. So yeah, hopefully I can get some interest in this.

War, it happened. The world has been ravaged by technology, science and Mans greed. Mass consumerism, religious extremists, terrorists and human’s destruction of the world lead to nuclear war, and the technology that men relied on so much turned on them, and failed, destroying itself leaving men in an almost medieval state of existence. Unable to adapt and cope, within one hundred years, earth was clear of almost all human life force. Here and there a few groups of people learned to survive, but in the year 2200, life is pretty much dead.

Back in the year 2090, a man by the name of Herrity Apox created a space centre that was to be used for the soul purpose of housing criminals. A controversial matter, it was only used for 10 years, before criminals were dealt with back on Earth. In those ten years, over one hundred hardened criminals were locked in the Centre, locked in a state of frozen time and in complete isolation, awaiting their trials back on earth. They have no idea of the year, of what has happened. They have been locked in a sleep for over one hundred years, forgotten about. But the power fails, and the Apox centre is sent crashing to earth. Some criminals perish in the crash, but some survive. And this is where our story begins.

s o m e i n f o m a t i o n

So basically, our characters will be hardened criminals that survive the crash of the prison. The plan is for them to come across a crumbling military base and find out all about what has happened. So it is a quest for survival on a planet with feral wild life, hostile environments and survivors who take down any one they do not know. It’s a dystopian world, and our criminals have to find a way to survive. They need to have been locked up in somewhere between 2090 and 2100. They've been in a frozen state for one hundred years.

s o m e i d e a s

Your crime has to have been very severe to be sent to the Apox, so no petty criminals please. My female is going to be a murderer, but for her it was revenge killing. So you can have a reason behind your characters crime, have them unfairly tried etc. Perhaps they were unaware people were inside when they set of a bomb? Maybe a political activist who was tried as a terrorist? A leader of a notorious gang? Ring leader of an international weapons smuggling group? But yes, has to be something severe as they’re lifers. Also, we need badass characters in this; they need to be able to survive. Minimum age is 18, but again I would like to keep them varied.

s o m e r u l e s

#1 Nothing anime, emo, scene, cartoon or outrageous. As a visual of your character, only life photography is accepted. If you do not use a picture than a full description will be needed.

#2 Make your characters and their crimes realistic please.

#3 Advanced. This is an advanced role so please keep in mind the advanced requirements. Detailed posts with plenty of content, how does your character feel at that moment? How do they react to a certain situation? Why do they feel that way?

#4 Third person narratives only, I know this may seem like an odd rule but some people feel the need to post in first person and it irks me. Past tense also!

#5 I do not expect anyone to post everyday so don’t worry. I have a young son and so there are times I won’t be able to get on here. I think so long as we all post around twice a week though it will keep things moving nicely, and we all keep in communication through the OOC.

#6 No immature writers or characters please! Immaturity gets my back up and makes for a very dislikeable character. By all means make your character naïve, but I do not want to read the words “Stubborn but sweet but feisty” in one personality description.

#7 Violence is going to happen. Swearing is going to happen. Sexism is going to happen. Fighting is going to happen. This isn't going to be a pleasant happy-happy story.

#8 No character is invincible! If you get shot in the head, you’re going to die. If someone punches you in the face, you’re going to get hurt. I fully intend to throw in some challenges and violence from strangers, so be prepared.

@pure conceit

I post at an Advanced level so have no issue pumping out a multi-paragraph post. I mostly use PMs here and another website, but happy to give you a writing example if you'd like one.

I would be interested in a few of your ideas if you're still looking? Mostly the Percy Jackson inspired ideas you have.

Age of Mythology: An RP of the Greek Heroic Age

I am thinking I might go with Atalanta, or something akin to her story.

Abundance of ideas

Bump;

Age of Mythology: An RP of the Greek Heroic Age

@JbcoolThanks! Think you're the only person on here who knows who/what it is! Currently having serious Rollo/Viking withdrawls.

I shall have a think on her, I am currently torn between two ideas.

Age of Mythology: An RP of the Greek Heroic Age

Very interested,could I reserve a female role please?

Abundance of ideas

All right. I am back after a hiatus, and looking to bump up my stories once again. I am female, I am in my twenties, I am a nurse and a mother to a scrumptious little two year old, and pregnant with my second child. That is all you really need to know about my real life.

t h e r u l e s ;;

[1] So, let’s start with the rules. Firstly, I must say that I require an active partner both IC and OOC. I like to keep in contact with my partners and bounce ideas back and forth. I fully understand that we all have lives, and mine is hectic and chaotic, but I always set time aside for my stories (extenuating circumstances dictating) and would like a partner who could do the same. In a perfect world, you’d be able to provide at least one reply a day. But realistically, one post every three days is acceptable. Anything more than that then perhaps I am not the writing partner for you.

[2] Secondly, I like detailed and lengthy posts. I enjoy writing, and love reading. If I give an 8 paragraph post and am met with a two paragraph reply, it is quite disheartening. I am not saying you must do a novel a post, but something to work off of please? I fully expect interaction posts to be shorter, but I love details!

[3] Next the story, I am looking for a story not a cyber-fest. I do not mind mature stories and indeed some of the listed stories are of a more mature setting, but I don’t want just smut, it bores me and I will lose interest. I need a story to lose myself in, with a lot of build-up and development.

[4] Third person, past tense only. It is a personal preference but I am quite unyielding on this.

[5] I am looking for a male role to play against my female. That being said, I am not opposed to playing multiple characters so long as I am met with the same courtesy. I do actually prefer to double on characters in fandom stories, or even go out and have a love triangle going on.

[6] If you see an (M) below, it means mature. Not that the story needs to head that way but the origins are most certainly 18+

Obsession - Female Teacher x Male Student (M)

The idea I have in mind is influenced by a film that I recently watched, but with a difference.

What I am looking for is a male to play a very particular role, and one with a dark and sinister mind. This story will be long term, and whilst sex is involved it will mostly be about the plot and character developments.

So the idea involves a mid-twenties female and a friend of her younger brother, aged around eighteen. She hasn’t been in the town long, taking a new job in the local school. She moves into a small house across the way from her brothers friend, and he takes an instant liking too her. He first meets her at her brother’s house, when she pops round to see her parents. There is an instant and mutual attraction but she doesn’t act on it.

But as his senior year starts, she is his new English teacher, and they begin to flirt and despite her determinations and refusals, he eventually seduces her and they enter into an affair.

But when she confesses to one of her friends over a glass of wine, she realises how stupid she has been and calls an end to their affair. But he is not willing to let her go; his affections for her had taken a darker turn and became an obsession. And it was then that he began to stalk her, hacking into her computer and going to extreme lengths to get her back.

That is what I have so far, a lot more needs to be discussed and ideas developed etc.

Illicit Romance - Male Teacher x Female Student (M)

Now although I am English, I am all right with setting this story in America, as we (mostly) leave school at 16 over here (unless private etc.) with the option of sixth form added on to some and so on. So for comfort of my partner and what not, I am happy to play as a senior in an American high school.

How they become involved is up for discussion, but I have a few starting ideas.

1) He is a new teacher in the school and so would never have met her before.
2) He is a senior/year 11 teacher and would only just start teaching her.

I would be looking for this to turn eventually into a romance, but I am quite happy for this to start out on a more sinister start, so perhaps a bit of blackmail? He could catch her out doing something she shouldn’t be but instead of just detention he takes a more personal approach? Or in the summer holiday they could have shared a drunken moment (her using a false I.D to get into a club) but they never went all the way. His first class teaching her and they could remember one another, and we could go from there. I am open to suggestions and any ideas you may have. But what I am not looking for is for her to seduce him.

Attraction - Victorian affair (M)

Set roughly around the Victorian Era
She is the prized daughter of an aristocrat, born to privilege and wealth and lined up to marry a man of wealth and status. One night in celebration of her coming nuptials, she attends the Gypsy fair that has come to the city.

Among the usual fortune tellers, freak shows and dancers there is one that captures her eye, the animal tamer. Devilishly handsome with tanned skin and dark hair, a body of perfectly sculptured muscles, he instantly has the girls in frenzy. But the to-be bride is enthralled, watching as he so easily and calmly works with the animals, from fierce tigers to more graceful horses; it is almost like their minds are connected.

Intrigued by him, she makes her way over after his display to talk to him. And the spark is instant.

. . .

I am looking for a romantic edge to this one, and it’ll be the male opening up the females mind and body to all knew experiences.

Of Power and Crowns - Medieval (M)

1. This isn't a fully formed plot. Just an idea I have been toying with. About a powerful man that becomes King. Could be by force, inheriting the throne or politics. But he is strong and powerful, perhaps arrogant but a strong leader. This story will be about him taking my female character as his bride. Either by force, or political reasons. This will be set in a medieval era, perhaps maybe in a fantasy setting, this could all be discussed and developed between the pair of us.

OR

2. A King of a fictional realm has been killed, and his son held accountable for the Murder. Executed for the murder, it leaves only his sister and the cruel and dangerous Right hand of the King to take his place on the throne, as he planned. To seal the deal, he takes the young Princess for his bride to quash any doubts anyone has over his new place on the throne. Or we could use the same story, but have the brother in the place of the Right hand and he uses his sister for his own perverted needs and wants, her being the prettiest in the realm

Invasion (M)

Neither side will win both suffering serious losses to their armies. Starvation is looming, disease and ailment will deplete those already wounded from fray. But neither leader will back down, neither will surrender to the other. Which leaves only two choices: war or compromise?

The King of the home land and the Leader of the invading armies meet and quarrel out their demands and needs, and after many days of strenuous and exhausting talks come to an agreement. In exchange for vast plots of land, coin and titles, the invaders offer no more attacks and their finest warriors to defend the realm from further attacks. All of this will be sealed with a marriage, the Kings daughter to the Chief.

The characters can be juggled around, it can be Niece, Sister or even ward to the King. And it doesn’t have to be the chief; it could be his son or just their most fearsome warrior.

Selected Time Periods

The Tudors - 1485 - 1603, ideally the era that Henry VIII reigned (1491 - 1547). Anything involving political intrigue, court drama, deceit, drama and romance etc. I would like to do a real gritty period drama with someone who knows at least a little about the time period and how people acted.

The Viking era 793 - 1066. Ideally I would like to do something involving the Viking invasion of Britain, play about with something here with battles and violence etc.

Ancient Rome Roman Kingdom 753 - 509 BC, Roman Republic 509 - 27 BC or Roman Empire 27 BC - 1453 AD. I have loads of ideas rolling about for this and each depends on what era we use, Kingdom, Republic or Empire. But again, a gritty and mature role play would be good, and I don't necessarily mean smut and sex all the time. Violence, dominant men and cruelty towards slaves etc.

Medieval or Medieval Fantasy I would be aiming for the early dark ages, so anything pre 1100 for this. Something involving war and drama, with adventure and plenty of character development. I don't want light and fluffy though, so no pretty fairies and unicorns prancing about. There will be a darker theme to it

let me steal this moment from you now -- rosalind & taco

OK I am really struggling. I only know the films, I don't know the comics so haven't got a clue how or what to post.

Not All Is As It Seems

“Too much to say” Charlie said with a sad and heavy laugh, as they re-joined the group. He immediately noticed Bill’s ease, the scars looking a lot less menacing than they had before, and there was no pain in his eyes. He looked a little questioningly at the blonde by his side, and then to the other before Moody stepped forwards.
“Right, Potter is to be escorted back to the Muggles this afternoon” He said, and instantly there were objections which he silenced with a barked command.
“It was Dumbledore’s request that Harry remain with his Aunt and Uncle until his birthday, he remains protected by his mother and is untouchable by you-know-who all the while he is there. It is the safest place for him” Remus informed in a calm manner. “He will be under guard until such time as we can bring him to the Burrow, but for now he must return to Privett Place for his own safety”

Addie looked down to her feet for a moment, she felt like an intruder in this meeting. Of course she knew who Harry Potter was, and she knew she would help him, but this Order was a close unit, friends as well as allies, and she was a complete stranger. A protection and weapon, someone deemed important by Dumbledore. To them, Dumbledore was the ultimate and his word was never questioned. Of course, only a select few knew that Addie and Kat were the descendants of Hecate, knew just what they were capable of. She still couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“An escort is needed for Miss Vallis and Miss Gerau” Kingsley said, and eyes were quickly upon the blondes. Addie was to protest that they didn’t need an escort, but Kingsley quickly explained that the Order left no one alone, but also that the Burrow was heavily protected and only those who knew the charms and its whereabouts could find it.

“Me and Bill can” Charlie volunteered, and Addie found her heart flutter a little but she did not show it.
“Oi oi” Teased Fred and George in unison, but received a look from their mother in scorn and they quickly supressed further laughter, though it was clear they were still amused.
“Two days” Moody barked, holding up two very scarred fingers. “Any problems… send word”
“Two days?” Addie questioned, how was she expected to pack up a lifetime in two days?
“Yes. Snape knew of your existence, he knows what you are and who you are… right now you’re as vulnerable as Potter” Moody replied, which instantly gained the attention of the entire group, and they looked to the girls with curiosity and trepidation. Addie stared at Moody, not appreciative of the revelation, nor the looks they now received.
“Fine” Addie replied curtly, and she took Kat gently by the arm and guided her away, fully aware that eyes were still boring into their backs.
