From experience, I think the sooner* we get started the more momentum it'll have. :)I guess nothing stops people having flashback-esque introductions to any preparations they may have made in Hogsmeade if they want to as a 'prequel' to their proper posts.* By sooner, I mean 'the further in'. But also the sooner we get started. Let's get going! :P, is anybody going to take any great objection to me designing Germany's wizarding world as I like it? I'm interested in making it quite a right-wing state anyway, but with a bubbling political undercurrent with social engineering aims comparable to those of the death eaters? Nothing's actually but there's implications of quite a nasty political discourse and perhaps slightly expansionist policies. Following the first wizarding war, implied to take place around or in Germany and coinciding with the dates of WW2, there was a period of extreme humility amongst the involved nations (let's say Germany) but now, the wizarding community there is feeling oppressed and that it needs to rise back up against the muggles and assert some dominance - perhaps with a view to national expansion as well as back over the muggles. Johann is a product of that generation.Obviously there's a lot of making-shit-up here and if we don't want to go down that path, that's fine, but all the English characters have a cultural heritage that everybody's aware of (Death Eater occupation), while international characters are kind of playing blind with regard to their own cultural identity. I did look up Germany on HP Wiki but there's nothing really to go on. I'd certainly like to establish some kind of political scene (if not this one) in Germany just to give Johann a bit more grounding.
I do not object to this idea, and I'm sure if anyone wants to go down this path, we come up with interesting outcomes.

That's ma'am ;). Just throwing that out there. Anyway, I'll probably just stick to one character in the beginning, but when is your deadline for joining? I'm just trying to get an idea since I refuse to take on any new RPs until I'm done this essay that is stressing me to the point of tears.
I don't want to push you but I also don't want to let the others wait too long. When is the essay deadline?

x.x To be honest, Vena, I really don't like this layout. It takes too much work to go into every hider to read just a paragraph or so, and even fully extended it doesn't look pretty at all. The info's all there, so why not just keep it as it is?--Belasco, well, it kind of depends on how he treats her (and some of the other Hogwarts girls, like Amelia and Lydia... esp. Amelia). If he's just an instant bag of dicks, there's no way she'll be able to like him, but if he seems to just be, um, , they'll be more likely to connect. In any case, she'll definitely love having a duelist that's likely to beat her in the group. ;) Gives her something to look forward to later on.
Can you at least put the school above all the history, etc., so no one has to search the CS to know where each character comes from?

If it helps, I was considering not using them all when I saw that a two is apparently N.E.W.T. level. Something tells me Logan wouldn't exactly be good at the things I have him listed down for, considering he focused more-so on breaking a certain stereotype during the Hogwarts years rather than the academic appliances of magic. Heck he doesn't even strike me as a person to take a N.E.W.T. in anything, unless of course it's required for a Kneazle license or something. I'll have to think on what to change and all.
The option of other is also available. It doesn't have to be school related and can be considered as a small mastery in a hobby, etc.
So we start in France?
Every CS needs to be completely finished and accepted. When should the deadline be set? After Jannah is finished with his essay?
Doctor Belasco, Johann and James are accepted (Still a bit confused on the -100, if you could clarify).
Fowlishness, are you still with us?
Sloth, Logan is accepted, and should I say, welcome back! I JUST remembered you were part of the original on the old guild. ^.^
Catchamber, did you still want to be a part of this?
Imp, Emma is accepted.
Primez, Amelia is accepted. (BTW I can't remember which one of you two said you had a second character. Please post the CS up, unless they're an NPC.)
Arlear, if you can post Avan up... You do still intend on using him for this RP, right?
Jannah, take your time on your CS. You can do what Fowlishness has done. Slow progress is better than none. :D
Is this everyone? I feel like I'm missing someone.
