Harry Potter and the Rise of the Dark Lord (Looking for Harry and Draco)

[Rogue]

Harry Potter and the Rise of the Dark Lord

That year was supposed to be the end of everything. We were about to head towards Hogwarts to end it all. We were to find a horcrux and face Voldemort. We were late. The Light, as we call ourselves, had already destroyed two horcruxes before we broke the locket. And the break in to Gringotts was hardly a quiet affair. So when Bellatrix alerted her master of the loss of another horcrux, Riddle didn’t hesitate to move on the final hold of the light, the castle meant for learning where he had stored one of his many horcruxes, Hogwarts. He couldn’t risk losing another and having the target come closer to him. Nagini after all was usually close by at all times and her death would mean four pieces of his soul obliterated. Not even including if they did manage to destroy the goblet or the diadem.So he decided to make his stand and Magical Britain fell.

This RP was inspired by this group of pictures. This is the timeline that is set in stone as of right now:

• Gringotts Bank was robbed by the Golden Trio. However, instead of heading to Hogsmead, they lay low for a few days. This was a mistake.

• Voldemort attacks the castle, intending to reclaim his diadem. Knowing Harry is not in the castle due to the Horcrux in Harry, he doesn’t wait and instead storms the Castle immediately and without warning. Details of the battle are unknown as of yet. Casualties are as followed: Minerva McGonnagol, Fillius Flitwick, Trybel Trewlany, Remus Lupin, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Pomena Sprout, and Horrace Slughorn. Madam Pomfrey and Hagrid are considered MIA as neither can be confirmed dead at this moment.

All events up until the Gringotts Bank will be considered canon. I am currently looking for canon characters that are both “Dark” and “Light” as well as a limited number of OCs (probably about 3 or so more depending on ideas you might have). Keep in mind that this will be an International RP. The main focus in the beginning will be Britain, but keep in mind that for the purposes of this RP, Britain is essentially lost save for the underground rebellion. Foreign supporters may come in, and maybe another group could even attempt to ally themselves with old Tom. Just tossin plot bunnies out there.

I will take all Canons listed below no matter what. I will also accept Dark OCs (Probably like 4 more right now) and Light OCs (Currently two spots open).

Priority Canons:

• Draco Malfoy
• Lucius Malfoy
• Narcissa Malfoy
• Any Canon not listed will most likely be accepted but these are priority for me.

Canons taken:

• Hermione Granger (RoTWS)
• Neville Longbottom (RoTWS)
• Ron Weasley (Ember Star)
• Luna Lovegood (Ember Star)
• Ginny Weasley (Miss Kaia)
• Bellatrix Lestrange (RainbowRian)
• Astoria Greengrass (Ladia2287)
• Harry Potter (Rapt)

I have two co-GMs: Ember Star and Persephone 325. This is intended as a long running RP running years of Game Time. As such elements I wish to implement: Torture and Non-con. I intend for people to get caught at some point or another. All non-con scenes will be consensual! Just because you are signing up for this doesn’t mean you are giving consent for non-con! While I suspect that most torture will be kept to the Cruciatus curse, there is the possibility for knives to get involved as well as the potentiality for more psychological torture.

That being said:

• This will be in the Non-Con section barring suggestions that it get moved to Extreme for safety reasons because of the Torture.


• All gender types and Sexualities will be accepted.


• Canon Players: I expect you to have fun. The younger canons are going into what we expect to be college age. Any experimentation you want to have, as long as it’s mutual between players, go for it.


• This RP is not a sex RP: This is meant to be highly emotional situation so sex will happen. It’s not the focus. Story/Character Development is.


• One character for the moment please! I'm still relatively new as a GM after all and would not like to be overwhelmed.


• I would like this to be a once a week thing, but I know that this is unrealistic for at the very least myself. However, a month without a word and I might start to worry. :)


• I would hope this is implied but GM's word is law.

Rules for Original characters:

• No giving of random powers without GM approval.
• They will not be in Voldie's Inner circle if they're on the Dark Side.
• They will not be closely related to any of the Canon characters. Determined by GM's discretion/importance of the canon character.
• No magical pets. Period.
• If questionable, ask me or don't do it.
• Foreign OCs are allowed and even encouraged. The end goal on Voldie's part is World Domination after all.

I've decided on keeping most of the old character sheet. On that note, OCs/Canon characters with lesser known backstories, I will expect more from you in the Backstory department than let's say.... Harry Potter. I'm assuming if you are in this RP you've at least watched the movies if not read the books and have a working knowledge of the universe. If any questions arise, make use of the wiki pages available or ask your resident HP knowledge guru. :)

Note: if this looks familiar, I recently attempted a system version of this game. Due to an unexpected event I have decided to revamp it without one. :)

[persephone325]

Well you know I'm on board. ^^

[Ember Star]

Here! ^_^

[Nymphadora]

I'll be watching this one.
Preferring to be on the side of light
Fleur perhaps
Tonks... (Shocking no doubt)
Possibly even Mrs. Weasley

In any case, bookmarking for the time being.

[Ember Star]

Nymph! Nyyyyph!

[ladia2287]

Bookmarking and considering requesting Astoria Greengrass? *makes puppy dog eyes* pwease? :D

[DarkAngel111]

*might as well be the first interested male*

[Rogue]

Lols. RainbowRian kinda holds that spot. But I suppose you're the first to announce it.

I'll be watching this one.

Fleur perhaps
Tonks... (Shocking no doubt)

In any case, bookmarking for the time being.

I'm preferring to keep adults to a minimum on the light side. On that note.... keep in mind that Tonks just had Teddy and will be kept out of the center of focus for at least the next couple of years and I will not be allowing a Remus. Because he's a casualty. (Sorry all the father figures have to go... it's in keeping with JK's MO.)

Fleur is workable. I'd rather not have a Mrs Weasley. Because she'll have too much power over certain other PC's. Same with any parents in general.

Bookmarking and considering requesting Astoria Greengrass? *makes puppy dog eyes* pwease? :D

*grins* PM me and let me know your plans for her and I'll let you know. *is intrigued*

General note: I would like to fill the slots listed first! Just because I'd like at least the kids to start off with. And I'll update this with the casualty list next time I get on my cpu.

[DarkAngel111]

Idk what the dynamics of playing Harry would be in this game... so.. I am not too sure about him..
If someone can shed some light I might play harry OR Draco.

[Viper]

May be interested in playing a bad guy? :D

[Rogue]

Simply put, Harry is intended to be a leader for the Light. So are all of the younger canon characters I named though. He will at some point have to die. Horcruxes are still canon after all. He will probably lead in the Horcrux search still, just with much more support.

May be interested in playing a bad guy? :D

:o Please?

[DarkAngel111]

oh but in canon he lived... so he gets to come back to live. live happily ever after? :P

[Viper]

May throw Viper and Tabitha in there as death eaters. Viper is pretty much the dog of Voldomort and Tabitha a bad ass bitch of a death eater.

*grins* Sounds like fun, though I am limiting things to one character for the moment. I'll have time to get a character sheet together after work today and will post it then.

[DarkAngel111]

two+ years after the end of a series I doubt we have to warn about spoilers lol.
At this point everyone knows the end :p

Heck I knew ending of book 6 before i had gone through 4th. lol

[Viper]

Ill make Tabitha then when the character sheet goes up, she is more maluble and can speak correctly. Viper will come later as one of voldomorts fucked up expiriments and made her half basilik and half witch.

I also have a non cannon light character if yall are interested.

[Ember Star]

Warnings about spoilers may not be needed, but River Song is necessary in everything

Besides, brief though it was the Doctor did make appearance in Harry Potter

I'm not sure about having a part snake lady. I mean sure, it might be possible with the right magic and alchemy. But it's a tricky and "special" thing to do.

However, Rogue is the boss lady, so it's her say :)

[Viper]

Being that voldomort was in the forbidden arts, I don't think it would be too far of a stretch, maybe she is an end boss between the last horcrux and the good guys? I dunno

[Rogue]

*coughs* more like 5 years since the end of the series. But I meant for the campaign. For all concerned, everyone might die in the end.  >:) And everyone might live  O:) Whooo knows....

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... We'll see. Voldie might have been into the Dark Arts, but he has a reputation for blood purity. Also, if he were to decide to do that experiment why would it be on some no-body witch? It would have been on Bella I would think.

Any OCs on the Dark side will not be any where near the inner circle. They will be newish recruits or from a different country. Those are my standards. Also Part Basilisk is too OP. Part snake I'll give you (given proper backstory). Basilisk is ban hammered.

[Nymphadora]

Nymph! Nyyyyph!

Hehe hiiii Ember!

Fair enough on all counts and by holds the spot are you talking about Fleur?

[Rogue]

Fair enough on all counts and by holds the spot are you talking about Fleur?

Nah. That was in response to dark angel saying he was the first guy with interest. :)

[persephone325]

[Rogue]

Beautiful Seph, Beautiful. :)

Also! RainbowRian has laid claim to Bellatrix! :)

[RainbowRian]

Where should sheets be posted/Sent too, and whom all can we discuss them with Gm and co-Gms?

[CrystalFeathers]

Luna and Hermione are taken, so I'll just make an OC.

[Ember Star]

RainbowRian has laid claim to Bellatrix!

WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SLIGHTLY JEALOUS!?

Where should sheets be posted/Sent too, and whom all can we discuss them with Gm and co-Gms?

I don't think Rogue has a CS for this one yet. But I'm sure it'll be up soon!

Luna and Hermione are taken, so I'll just make an OC.

My Luna! >:) :P

Lol.

Can't wait to see what you come up with! ^_^

[RainbowRian]

Lol okay, I was just going to go off the format for my old Harry one, and edit it to fit the rp for the rough send in

[persephone325]

Luna and Hermione are taken, so I'll just make an OC.

Yeah. v.v I had to go with an OC I had made for another HP game, but never really got off the ground.

[CrystalFeathers]

so where's the character creation thread?

[RainbowRian]

I will be making an OC later on if two slots open up

[Ember Star]

so where's the character creation thread?

It's not up yet.

I will be making an OC later on if two slots open up

Yes, from my understanding things will open up much later on.

[persephone325]

It's not up yet.

Ninja'd. lol

[Ember Star]

Ninja'd. lol

I have a habit of that, don't I? Lol.


Look what I found! I think Luna would approve .

[Rogue]

Yes sorry. The gm was kidnapped after work by her girlfriend for winter soldier so I couldn't get it done. :(

I'm actually still kidnapped but that's beside the point.

All sheets get pm'd to me and my co-GMs please though I have yet to post a standardized one. That will happen tomorrow though.

Crystal feathers, if you are making an oc please contact me. :) I'm preferring evil ones at the moment as there has been (as usual) a larger amount of interest on the side of good.

[persephone325]

I'm debating making a bad guy character... Hmm...

I don't know if I pull off "bad" personas very well. But it couldn't hurt to try. ^^ If it turns out I'm not feeling the character, I could always have her killed off. Or give her to someone else to play.

[DarkAngel111]

*claims Draco*

[Kaia]

i'm here, you know that.

[Rogue]

Where should sheets be posted/Sent too, and whom all can we discuss them with Gm and co-Gms?

Oops. Misunderstood the question. Discuss sheets all you like. Plotting is fun after all!

I kinda count your oc in the bad count already (just because she'll be playing more with the bad guys anyways).... that is if you keep the one you never really got to play of course.

*claims Draco*

Will mark you down and PM you soon. :)

i'm here, you know that.

Kaia! *loves on*

[Rogue]

Fair enough on all counts and by holds the spot are you talking about Fleur?

Just clarifying, You do have Fleur on lockdown. :)

Also: Character sheet is officially up! Please PM myself and the co-gms for approval before posting on the thread that is currently non-extant but will exist within the next hour or so. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: A little more than an hour, but it's up now! :)

[Nymphadora]

Thanks!

[Rogue]

Thanks!

Not a problem!

[Ember Star]

[Rogue]

With 8 good guys (including an OC PM'd to me and not including the two other Canon characters I need) I'm going to call Good OCs to a close! :) If I have not talked to you about a good guy character as of posting this, please do not submit one yet! I do intend on this to get bigger so... eventually. :) But until then... No more.

[surrealobsession]

So I submit the character info here, then? *sigh* I am so hopeless at this group stuff. Here goes...

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Character Name: Roberta Lilian Cart (Bobby to her friends).

Played By: Laura Harring

Nationality: American

Blood Status: Muggleborn

Age: 34

Former House:N/A

Description:  Approximately 5'8, average weight, a bit on the busty side. Dark hair, olive skin, brown eyes, attractive. Mixed race Hispanic and Caucasian.

Personality:  Bobby has gone through many phases in her life, but a few qualities have always remained the same: she is tenacious, stubborn, brave and outgoing.

Background: Originally born in Montana, USA, Bobby and her twin brother Steven were always the black sheep of their otherwise traditional family. Their father was a military man, since retired due to severe injury in Vietnam that took his eye. Their mother an outspoken Latina nurse. Both have since taken over a set of horse stables housing the mounts of the wealthy who head to the mountains once a year to ride them. Their oldest brother, almost fifteen years their senior, is the single Sheriff of the small town where they grew up.

Wanting something different and being inseparable, the two had great difficulty when it came to light that Bobby was a witch and would be attending school at Northwestern Magical Academy in B.C., Canada. Nevertheless, she graduated a year before he did from his Muggle High School. In the meantime, she worked in town and saved every dime she could, while Steven worked after school doing the same.

At the age of seventeen the two ran off to Seattle. Bobby began going to school to be a journalist, Steven dropped out from a Communications program to join a rock band. Both had success in their own ways, and finally separated a few years later to achieve their own dreams.

Bobby's life in Britain began thanks to a long standing wild streak that led to a quickly failed marriage with an Englishman she originally met in NYC. She decided to stay, and slowly began to settle down into an adult life.

She has lived in Britain for seven years, mostly in the Muggle world. She has recently become a reporter at The Daily Prophet after years of working for various publications around the UK. It is the first time she has taken a position within the Wizarding World.

Reason for Joining the Rebellion/Death Eaters: As said above, she is stubborn and tenacious. She also has a very strong sense of right and wrong. Eugenics is a repulsive ideology of which she would give anything to defend against. Even in a country not her own, recognizing the beliefs of the Dark Lord as those wishing to wipe herself and her family out of existence.

Wand: 7 1/2 inches, yew, unicorn hair.

Pet: A very overweight, very scarred and very mangy cat by the name of Biggles. She found him outside her apartment one day, and he might be the ugliest cat in existence. She thinks he is the sweetest kitten alive. This might have to do with the fact that the cat is missing his eye, just like her father.

[Ember Star]

Actually, you pm the character to the three of us. But this can work sometimes too ^_^

However, I'm sorry to say, but Rogue called a close to acceptance of good OCs for now :/

I have. :) She told me to submit here what I had already submitted to her.

Edit: And I didn't even see the no more good OCs thing before I did. Oops. lol.. Like I said, hopeless.  :-[

[Ember Star]

Ah. But if you've already talked to her then you should be good. As she did say people who had already asked her would have their characters in ^_^

[CrystalFeathers]

I'll probably make one evil OC and one good OC. Where is the character creation thread?

[Ember Star]

Only one character per person right now, and we'd prefer evil at the moment ^_^

You were my last Good OC for right now. :) I said that specifically for you actually. And I meant for you to post that in the Accepted Character thread linked in the first post. Sorry I was having issues being clear because I was at work. >.<

It was totally the wrong backstory version, anyway. I meant to add in the changes we discussed. Done correctly, now. lol.

[Rogue]

No problem sweetie. You and Kaia are both relatively new to group games after all and we're a relatively patient group.

Also: NOTE TO EVERYONE! While I'm at work and unable to respond quickly if Ember or Persephone say something (ESPECIALLY if they're practically quoting me) listen to them! They are my co-GMs for a reason! Helping when I am unable to keep an eye on things is one of them. :)

[Google]

I have been told we are in needs of villains and I suspect there is a member here who knows what a fun villain I can provide.

[Rogue]

Ah hello Google. Please feel free to have fun with creating a villain.

[Google]

Unwilling need a day or two to look things over but I have ideas

[Nymphadora]

He makes a great villain too.
Very Dark

[Rogue]

And he comes recommended? Sounds like we're gonna have fun. :)

[Rogue]

Modifying posts by phone is hard....

In am thinking Tom riddle right now but I need to think it over

[Nymphadora]

Yup. Big thumbs up! Literate, creative and dark.

[Rogue]

Yup. Big thumbs up! Literate, creative and dark.

My favorite kind of villain. *automatically thinks of Tom Hiddleston like a silly fan girl*

In am thinking Tom riddle right now but I need to think it over

I will be starting both side simultaneously this time as there's a larger pool of baddies so a Tom would be lovely.

[persephone325]

Sounds like Miya will be in "good" company. lol

This should probably be a question for PMs, but I figured anyone playing an evil character might want to know. Rouge, is Miya starting out with the bad guys? (Short version for those interested: Miya's family handed her over to the Dark Lord because they considered her a blood traitor, and wanted to gain favor with him.)

Yes she will. I've already shared it with Rian and will share it with anyone else who's evil, but I'm actually starting with the Yakuza making the "Peace offering" on the dark side.

[persephone325]

Alrighty! Sounds like a plan, my dear. ^^

I just have major crushies on Emma, so I'm mesmerized by her no matter what the content.

Also, yeah. Summer Glau too by the way. But Emma more.

*giggles* Yesh

[Ember Star]

When she cut her hair, I did too. Lol. Of course , it wasnt the first time I had cut my hair about that short. But I nonetheless decided I wanted short hair again when I saw how cute she was with it. Creepy, right? Lol. But of course another big crush of mine (Anne Hathaway) cut her hair too. So I must have been in the right! :P

[Rogue]

Not creepy at all *starts edging away "Subtly"* Lol jk.

Sorry it will be a day or two before I can get to any work, I had an intensely long day and tomorrow I have to do lunch with a 4 star because somehow (in spite of my best efforts) my leadership considers me a future leader...

[Rogue]

Just gonna clarify. Do you want to be Tom officially?

[The Golden Touch]

-Peers in with interest-

[Rogue]

*waves to Goldie* hey love it's been a while.

[The Golden Touch]

Hello, dear. ^^

[Rogue]

You interested love? I'm more looking for bad guys right now with the exception of Ron and Draco.  :)

[The Golden Touch]

I don't know if I could play Draco (Even if I do so love the character's possibilities). I could make an Evil OC though.

[Rogue]

Having a full evil base will be wonderful. Just let me know. :)

[The Golden Touch]

So an evil OC works well for you?

[Ember Star]

Yes. Both cannon and OC evils are being accepted right now ^_^

I thought this was cute (link instead of embed because it's them as kids), and honestly I agree with it. I know Rowling said she regretted and should have put her with Harry. But I really can't see her with Harry, the idea of that never worked for me. I always saw Harry with Ginny, from the first book. The only alternative I could have seen for her is maybe Neville. Although putting her with Draco would have be fun. Or actually leaving her a unmarried career woman would have been a nice choice. But putting her with Ron was a nice choice overall because it put them as all part of the same family, and essentially made her and Harry brother and sister, which was the vibe I always got from them. And yes, she and Ron would bicker, but some of the best couples I know bicker their heads off but still love each other when they go to bed.

I don't understand shopping her with Snape ... I just don't. But maybe that's because I'm not into that age gap idea.

[Rogue]

Much rage Ember. I honestly hated the end pairings because it took someone literally pointing out to me that that's going to be the end pairing (and me denying it until the sixth book) for me to even see it. It might be because I hate the "we argue like a married couple!" logic.... actually it's entirely that logic. And that the one time Harry actually got into a fight with her was spurred on by Ron in the first place! JK putting Hermione with Ron was supporting emotionally abusive relationships not healthy ones, which is why she says she regretted it in the first place. JK putting Hermione and Harry as platonic would have been fine if she had left it for the fangirls to just go about as they pleased (aka not written the f'in epilogue in the first place!) Hell I was okay with the pairings until she perma placed them in canon. Simply because of the high school is high school logic. (ya don't necessarily marry who you date in high school)

Also, Ginny came out of fucking no where and was entirely out of Harry's character. "I don't want someone to like me because I'm famous" type doesn't go after the fan girl who's only dreamed about marrying him in the first place.

[Ember Star]

I disagree about Ginny, because she leveled out eventually and wasn't so fangirlly.

I don't necessarily consider Ron and Hermiome's relationship abusive, if anything she owned Ron for most of the time.

But I do see your points.

Personally I would have been happiest if she was left unmarried and ended up as a professor at Hogwarts. That was what I always hoped for her, since you really don't have to marry off everybody and it always annoys me when they do. That was one thing I loved about the Inheritance Cycle

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Eragon  and Arya didn't end up together, although the possibility was left open

I was so freaking grateful for that because I tire of every damn thing I read ending with who married who.

[Ember Star]

Of course, part of my dislike of shipping her with Harry is the fact that I really don't like Harry that much. Lol. Granted, he's okay. He's just the character that annoyed me the most. But I often feel that way about main characters in stories, I almost always like the supporting cast better than the main character.

[Rogue]

It's also a matter of that Harry and Hermione has always been my pairing (not that I'm going to force it here. Cannon is cannon after all as are her infatuations with Ron).

But, you say that she owned Ron for most of the time but they had more of a sibling like relationship in my opinion than Harry and Hermione. They treated each other like equals always. Ron had a "Hey! I'm the only one allowed to call her that!" attitude through most of the years (sixth and seventh books not withstanding because at that point there was leading of the nose into what JK was going for), and she fought with him constantly. The two of them together were almost exactly how me and my brother were until the last couple of years. Harry and Hermione always supported each other the way a couple should (and the way friends should as well.)

I also used to be a huge fan of Childhood Friend Romance trope(Warning: TV Tropes link). Like I think all of my main ships that came before the age of 13 (which include Harry Potter) have that trope involved. So.... Yeah.

I agree with you on the major points of Hermione is an independent woman who can flourish on her own. I just also think that she could have flourished as well under Harry where as I think she would have been stiffled with Ron.

And yeah, I like Harry more than Ron, but Harry's not all that great either. He suffered from Main character syndrome. Lol.

[Ember Star]

Rupert was also always (and is still) my crush given a choice between him and Daniel. So there you go. Lol. Although Ron was always a little annoying, towards the end he did finally come into himself and calm down.

I don't think Ron would have held her back though, and from what post book information was released, she wasn't. Ended up working and doing a lot for the MoM. Once they went through the first year, he was always a big supporter of her. Even if he was whiny and could be a bit of an ass. I actually saw their future relationship hinted at when they had to go through the levels to get to the stone in the first book. But Rowling may have been planning it that long.

[Rogue]

I hated Ron before the movies so I didn't have that cushion. He was just kinda exactly like my childhood tormentors.

Also, post book information yes lead it in that direction. But I've had this pairing in my head since book 3. Like "They gonna kiss" because I was what 10 or something? And I've had my thoughts of how Ron is as a person set since book 5. Which is bad on my part as he did grow, but I still kinda feel like he got let off easy for what happened in Deathly Hallows.

Rowling admitted in the article when she announced that she regretted it that it was what she'd been planning all along and was self fulfillment.

Also, bit of an ass? He tormented her constantly for doing things that she loved and being different. He's the reason she got trapped in the bathroom in the first place and Harry was the only reason she survived that! And he f'in left during the Hallows. Any of them could have done it but it was Ron. He knew what he was doing was wrong and he still decided to do it. (And saying it was the necklaces fault is just kinda letting him off easy. ALL of them wore the necklace equally after all....)

Sorry.... I really don't like Ron.

[DarkAngel111]

lol
to be honest,
I never liked Ron, he was like a liability. :P
Sure he was a GREAT friend, but he was a little over smart always lol.
Ron and hermione from the first book onwards were not comfortable with each other, and in general it seemed Hermione didn't like ron.. but things just shifted in seconds when they came together. But I think it was more on of those cliche' *I like my best friend's sister* idea she had rolling in her mind with Ginny and harry..
And towards the end Jk was more motivated with money than the characters (my personal opinion)
The writing was below average on the 7th book.

Inheritance on the other hand was great. Even the end was something you don't see in every novel. Specifically in Fiction.

[Rogue]

Inheritance grew and expanded to fit.

HP was going to end at book four but got famous so it continued.

Never mind all the effort she put into the characters and everything, because she did put a lot of effort into that. But the Hallows weren't meant to be a thing (Moody could see through the cloak for instance as could Dumbledore) nor were Horcruxes (thus why Dumbledore didn't get there faster after the Diary.)

At least that's my opinion on that matter....

[Ember Star]

That's actually part of what I like about Ron. He had flaws, but eventually he realized and learned from his flaws. And yeah, him leaving was annoying, but it made sense that it might effect him more. He was always self conscious because he was the youngest of his brothers and his brothers were all so good at things. He felt he had to live up to them, which is where I feel a lot of his flaws came from.

I like flawed characters because I like to see them grow and develop. Which he did.

I'm also a fan of both Snape and Draco for the same reason. They were extremely flawed, but proved in the end that they weren't all bad. Draco was just a coward who didn't know better, and Snape was the bravest person in the books.

Dumbledor too, although my opinion of him went way down after Snape's memories and finding out his end goal with Harry was always to have him die.

Although, to be completely and brutally honest. I always thought Harry should die. I mean, I know he did die, but die and stay dead. I didn't mind him living. But I always kind of thought he should maybe be killed off in the end and have the others go on in their lives. And it wasnt because of what I have against Harry as as I sparkly main character. It just always felt like it should fit. Apparently I was right though, just not in the way I expected. Lol

I will say that I found the last book of Inheritance extremely boring. But I loved the ending.

I don't know that she was motivated by money for the last book. She had a shit ton by that time. But I do agree that it could have been better. It felt like there was too much in too small a place. Which tends to be the case in last books these days.

Inheritance - boring until it got to the end.
HP - too much going on and disappointed in some of the choices she made
Hunger Games - too much going on and ruined the main character for half if it.

[Rogue]

You say he developed but he still hadn't made amends for several major things for me (His behavior throughout the fourth book for instance) and it pissed me off that he wasn't held accountable because Harry is too forgiving and Hermione knew it wasn't worth it. He was never made to apologize at all and had zero consequences. I don't think he truly learned from his mistakes.

Snape didn't really learn IMO. He had absolutely no reason to be such a douche to Harry all the time and as an adult he had no excuse. I do like that she used a clever line in the first book in the questions to say he's sorry about Lily but goddamn there was no way harry would have known what he meant. I mean the whole reason Snape was a good guy was because JK wanted Alan Rickman to play a good guy in the end (by her own admission).

Draco proved he wasn't all bad but she  never got a chance to explore that fully, which is kinda what I wanna see here.

Dumbledore.... I have mixed feelings on Dumbledore.

Also, that was kinda the point of the Hunger Games series: War/fighting ruins people and surviving the Hunger games the first time had ruined Katniss...

[Ember Star]

I think after the end of the war Ron would have made up for some of those things. Because it really wasn't until then that he finally came into himself.

I agree ago Snape, but Snape had never forgiven James and Harry looked like James. Plus, he kind of treated everybody badly. However, I do think he learned. He just didn't want anybody to know he learned, especially by that time since he was the double agent.

But I do think it is ultimately Alan Rickman as Snape that makes Snape so amazing. Anybody else and he just wouldn't have had that grace.

I am looking forward to exploring the good side of Draco too.  Actually, the ship I wanted more than any other didnt come until the "19 years later", I so want to explore a friendship between their kids and his son and I want his son to marry either Rose or Lily. Like, as soon as I read that I started shipping it. Although I do feel like at least a friendship was hinted at between Rose and Scorpius.

And I know that was the point with HG. My problem actually wasnt so much the emotional distress. It was that she turned into a idiot. She stopped seeing the bigger picture. I guess she didnt much to begin with, but she did better which it in the first book

[Rogue]

I don't think she turned into an idiot so much as shut herself down to survive. The amount of pressure she went under from the beginning of the first book to the end was trauma enough. But being dragged back in in the second book? Add to that everything that happened in the third and it's just.... I can see why she shut down and why she was written in such a manner.

Back on topic: No one would make as good a Snape as Alan Rickman. Period. *laughs*

I kinda... ignore the epilogue for the most part. There are a couple of clever things, such as the last mention of Snape answering the first and such but certain things like the naming of the children? And pouring concrete around your pairings is just kinda a sore point for me.

[Ember Star]

Yeah. I would have preferred a six months later, or a year later, as instead of 19 years later. If she wanted to do one, make it closer to the end. It was too far ahead and unnecessary in my opinion. I feel like she only did it so she could name his kids James, Albus (which I do not approve of after what Dumbledore did. I did like his middle name being Snape's though), and Lily. Like.. what's the point? The one thing I really liked of it was the fact I get my Scorpius + Rose ship out of it. Lol.

[Rogue]

Lol. Ships!

[Ember Star]

Lol. Hush. We all do it. And actually, it's the post book info on relationships that annoyed me more than the 19 years later. Mainly because no Nuna! :'(



My heart seriously broke when I read that according to that information, Nuna did not exist.

[Rogue]

*laughs* Yeah. Luna and Neville are usually my default. Just cuz cuties.

[Ember Star]

Which id why shipping should be left to us fans. We know what's best ;) Some of us anyway. I'll never understand why Hermione and Snape are so popular together ...

I will say that one Rowling did announce and I agree with completely is George and Angelina. Every other pair is debatable. But George and Angelina are perfect. Even though I will always be mad she killed off Fred, and I cried when he died, and I cried again when they were going past his body. Only one I really cried about. I agree with Angelina amd George together. Especially given that Fred did die, because she was always so close with them, and I feel like it would have been a logical step for them to grow closer in his absence.

[Rogue]

Which is why Fred and George are both alive....so far! *maniacal laughter*

[Ember Star]

If one of them does die and there's no Angelina to get in the way, Amira is gonna show up and comfort the other one. Or so goes my evil tender hearted plan. Heck, even if they're both around...

Anyway. Obviously I love my Weasley Twins. They would be a pain to live with, but they're just so epicly awesome.

Unfortunately, I think we're going to have to start without them.

Still have Voldie though, even though Google is super busy right now. Going to probably start sometime within the next couple of days. :D

[Ember Star]

Yeah. I've been asking around, and nobody I know is interested in playing cannons, unfortunately :/ But hey! Maybe we're get one or the other in the next few days now that we have a Harry: D

[Rogue]

Mayhaps! :D

I do hope so. Or at least a Draco. *grins*

[Rogue]

Apologies to everyone. I'm dealing with a lot of things IRL. Will have things up when they get up. :( You guys are priority.

[Ember Star]

NP, hun. I actually took my grandmother to the hospital yesterday.

Home at last. For me at least. Mom is taking nap then going back.

So after 7 or 8 hours in the ER (partly took so long because they didn't have a viable bed available), they took her at 1am to a different hospital that's part of the same system (UAB). Luckily there wad a couch and a chair there and I could pass out for awhile.

Grandma has phenomena, but as some of you know she's 100 & 1/2, has dementia and is not in the best of shape physically. So, we aren't sure she'll pull out of this yet. However, she's stable, and has shown a general improvement with antibiotics and fluids,

[ladia2287]

*Hugs Ember* I hope she recovers.

[Ember Star]

So I was given some unexpected time off... something I am grateful for as all hell...

If a villain is needed... well then all I can say is

Y'all don't worry. I'm dealing with my own issues, with my grandmother being moved into hospice and working out plans for when she does pass. And I think Rogue has been busy herself too. So at this point, nobody is delaying

I will throw that together in the next day or so then

Thanks Ember for answering things in my absence!

Went home to visit my mom (her b-day was on Mother's day this year so...) Sorry it's been a while!

Ember's A/A: a general update

[Rogue]

I'm just going to do a rolecall before I decide my next move. Since it's been a half month since anyone's posted last, and nearly 2 since character sheets were thrown up, I wanna make sure all the players are still interested.

[DarkAngel111]

*still interested*

[Ember Star]

I'm gonna throw this out there. If you are still interested, and you know any HP fans on E (especially if they're willing to play cannons), invite them on over. This group is going to work best if most of the required cannons are played by people at least one of us know. Speaking from experience of groups with require roles.

[Kaia]

Of course, I'm interested.  I've got my lappy set up as a tower at the moment, until I can replace my desktop.  Stupid thing won't accept internet. 

Also...no lupus!  XD

[ladia2287]

Still interested; just waiting for everything to start up :)

Also might ask if one of my partners is interested, seeing as he also seems to be a fan of HP roleplaying. That is, if he can forgive the fact that I haven't posted for him in ages *cringes*.

[RainbowRian]

Im certainly interested and will take a peek around.

[Rogue]

Thanks to all of you. Sorry I've been such a wash recently. Moving (and the arduous process that's led up to it) has been wrecking my muse on top of other personal and work related issues.

Persephone and Nymphadora are the last ones I'm waiting on so I'ma go work on setting up the official OOC and such. *dances away*

Nobody is holding the delay against you, sugar cube. God knows I've had my month from hell all of May. So even if we had started, I would have been useless.

[Nymphadora]

Sorry folks, while I'm interested, I don't think I would be able to keep up the posting needed for another group game. Not now, anyway.

Hope you all have a great time!

Thanks Nymph. It's fine. :)

Now, Rogue, I know she may not be needed yet. But I'll still try and finish up that evil OC we discussed awhile back ago and send her on to ya. That way she will be ready when the time comes that she's needed or wanted. Meant to do it before now. Just had so much going on.

*grins* You're fine Ember. DarkAngel said he'd send us a sheet sometime later. :)

I once again need a Harry and Draco! The game will be continuing still but I will be minimizing their roles a lot more than I would be otherwise. Their personalities and decisions are things I will leave to whoever decides to take these roles. :)

Hello,can I have the role of Harry? If it is open that is.

[Artemis]

Also I have a question..is the basic personality of the canonic characters required to be the same as in the books and movies?

[Rogue]

It is open and the basic personality is expected to fall in line with Canon. Mind you there will be interpretations from each person on how that's handled, which is why I expect that part of the character sheet to be filled out so we know what to expect as you fill that role. :)

Please fill out the character sheet and I will get back to you. I also recommend reading the in character thread linked through the OOC labeled Britain(Light). This will be the situation you'll be coming into and I need to know if you'll be okay with that. :)
