Hogwarts MuggleNet - LGBTQIA2S Inclusive

[Kendra]

This GAME is INCLUSIVE, DIVERSE AND ACCEPTING OF ALL.

In the summer of 1997 quite a few muggle families were either hiding, keeping to themselves, or trying to live relatively normal lives without being detected. Voldemort took control of the government in August of that year and a month later when students were returning to Hogwarts the Muggle Registration Committee was set up to be run by Dolores Umbridge. Muggleborns were accused of stealing magic and so were invited to attend an interview, register as a muggle born where they could give an account of themselves. They were subsequently put on trial, those who were not accused openly of stealing magic, simply had their wands removed and stripped of their job and ended up homeless while others were sent to Azkaban and more exterminated. Any muggleborn that did not attend willingly for an interview was rounded up by Snatchers. Attendance at Hogwarts became mandatory for every eligible student so that the ministry and Umbridge could weed out all the muggleborn students there and half-blood students that could not prove their magical heritage. Even muggleborn first year students were forced to attend the MBRC for interrogation. Some go into hiding while those caught are sent to Azkaban. Given a number while their photograph is taken, this number is painstakingly tattoo’d onto the back of their neck. They are thrown into a small cell that holds roughly ten students. They’ve been stripped of their uniform and given striped clothing to wear as if they are real prisoners. Dementors no longer ward Azkaban, but the place is no less depressing and dangerous without them. Some Snatchers are given the position of prison wardens and are often brutal and cruel to the inmates, more often than not however they simply ignore them, leave them to rot. But there are rumours, there are stories of terrible terrible crimes against humanity enacted against the inmates. Two buckets are placed into the cell at the start of the day and changed the following morning one with water and the other for them to defecate into. Students are terrified, hungry and mortified that they are treated lower than animals. Severus Snape was appointed Headmaster, though he faced fierce opposition from Minerva McGonagall and other professors, as well as the remaining members of Dumbledore's Army. They encouraged rebellion, saved students from detention, and eventually stopped attending classes and took up residence in the Room of Requirement. The Carrows were also there at the school, with Amycus Carrow teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts, though in reality, he taught the Dark Arts. There were many favoured students, such as Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, who were encouraged to practice the Cruciatus Curse on rule-breakers. His sister, Alecto, took over the now mandatory Muggle Studies, though the course became a brainwashing of the superiority of wizard-kind over Muggles. It is not long before Harry Potter, the boy who lived does the unthinkable, unimaginable, and vanquished Voldemort once and for all. The great battle at Hogwarts in May 1998 left its mark and took its toll, many died that day and others lived. A new minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt began the difficult task of sorting out the country, Azkaban was emptied, and people were allowed to leave. But where were they to go? They had nothing, their wands had been taken, and their money and property confiscated. Some ministers wanted them to be obliviated so they would not remember what had happened, instead ... the near destruction and annihilation of muggle-borns was hushed up, and the government decided it was best for the country to put on a smiling face, put their best foot forward, begin rebuilding the country and not dwell on the past. People could be rehoused, found jobs, and given something in compensation ... they just had to sign a contract that they would not talk about it. As if the muggle-born registration committee had never existed. Those who had not been sent to Azkaban, those who had not been in hiding terrified for their lives did not know, and now ... did not care. There was simply too much to do, Hogwarts students who had spent time in Azkaban were allowed to retake their previous year with the proper curriculum if they wanted, or the minister for education would give them an honorary pass. It will not be an easy year, many students were made to begin without a wand, with little more than the clothing on their back. There is no trust, but much anger. For many of these believe that they are still on their road to perdition, the torture and punishment never ends. It is daily with them or appears instead in nightmares that drain their very soul. Will they redeem themselves by seeking revenge upon those that hurt them, or will they turn the other cheek and offer forgiveness ... possibly allowing the cycle of hatred to continue again, and again.

The theme is dark but full of wonderful characters. This is a sandbox game BUT there are GM plots and sub-plots to help move the game along. No player is under any obligation to be part of these game narratives - Players have the choice of opting their characters in to any of these if they so wish. If however the game narrative is too dark, Players do have the option of using non-extreme areas to play in. There are warning tags as well so that players who would rather not read darker stuff, won't have to! There are grownup characters in game such as shopkeepers and faculty members run by players. Classes are not mandatory attendance in the game - characters can simply say in their own sandbox game that they have attended - but there are classes there for extra rpage fun. The professors in-game are also a means for more rp fun and players do not have to feel that they must rp classes or have a continuous dialogue with aggrieved students. Players do need to remember that not every scene is possible to rp - so just because the headmaster, deputy, professors or Aurors are not making themselves visible in every thread - does not mean that they are not doing their duty. Information that Players have should not spill over into information that characters have. The Game is now into October, and we have much to look forward to.

Ministry of Magic Shakes Up Wizarding World with Revolutionary Foreign Student Program!

In a groundbreaking move that will shape the future of magical education, the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, has announced the initiation of a transformative Foreign Student Program, MagiGlobe. Prepare to welcome a new era of cross-cultural wizarding collaboration!

The Ministry, in collaboration with esteemed magical institutions worldwide, has devised a visionary program, MagiGlobe, that invites talented students from different magical schools to experience the wonders of British wizarding education. The MagiGlobe initiative fosters international cooperation, cultural exchange, and a deeper understanding of magical practices across borders. Never before has the wizarding community witnessed such an ambitious endeavor! This program promises to ignite the flame of curiosity and unity among young witches and wizards, transcending geographical boundaries and forging lifelong connections.

Shacklebolt, in a statement to the Daily Prophet, expressed profound enthusiasm for this unprecedented initiative, stating, "MagiGlobe marks a new chapter in our magical community, where borders no longer limit the pursuit of knowledge and collaboration. We believe in the power of diversity and the strength it brings to our shared magical heritage."

With Shacklebolt's unwavering commitment to fostering global connections, MagiGlobe promises to shape the future of magical education, bringing wizards and witches worldwide together on a unified platform.

Dear Potential Writer,

Welcome to Mugglenet! We are delighted to extend an invitation for you to join our world and explore a new character type. As you may have read in the article above, the Ministry of Magic has initiated the MagiGlobe program, granting students from different corners of the world the opportunity to attend Hogwarts. The reasons driving your character's desire to participate in this program are entirely open to your imagination.

While your character won't make an immediate appearance at Hogwarts, they will engage in daily correspondence with a randomly selected Hogwarts student. Through these letters, we hope your character will establish a friendship that eases their transition from one school to another.

However, your character won't be limited to letter writing alone. We encourage you to chronicle your character's adventures and friendships back at their original school for the time being. Your character will also interact with other characters from their school until they all travel to Hogwarts to complete a term of school.

Furthermore, we invite you to create a Hogwarts character as well. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the intricate history and plot points of Mugglenet. For instance, your foreign exchange student might be unaware of the true reason behind the Ministry of Magic's program initiative (as schools in the Potterverse aren't always forthcoming with information). However, a Hogwarts student might come to the conclusion that the program aims to divert attention from an upcoming controversial trial involving Umbridge, who committed numerous crimes under Voldemort's rule. If you are interested in writing a Hogwarts student, please consult this post.

We hope this invitation entices you to join our writing community. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them here or contact Flower/Kendra. We look forward to your creative contributions at Mugglenet!

THE GREAT ELEVEN
In addition to canon school offerings, our illustrious GM, Kendra, created several unique non-canon options for your perusal.
These schools are Dagrun, Neilos, Wananga, and Kanata. 
Please take a peek at those as a lot of love and care went into their creation.
Also, thank you, Rustic, for the non-canon school graphics.

Northern European countries ADDITIONAL INFO... Click Here Dagrun Galdr Skola : ᛞᚨᚷᚱᚢᚾ ᚷᚨᛚᛞᚱ ᛋᚴᛟᛚᚨ While Hogwarts supported education on the British Isles, Beauxbatons in the Mediterranean countries and Durmstrang in the Eastern European countries  - there is a fourth European school that supports education in the North of Europe, the Scandinavian countries, serving Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. This is Dagrun Galdr Skola - The Secret Knowledge Magic School. Established in 1720, it is a relatively small school boarding at most 200 students. All Scandinavian magiske børn (Magical Children) are home-schooled until the age of 14 years. There are small Fællesskabets magiske skole (community magical schools) for those aged 15 to 16 years. The Dagrun Galdr Skola is a specialist school for those aged 17 years to 21 years. Subjects Taught at Dagrun Runic Divination: Where other magic schools throughout the world are taught using one type of rune, those attending The Dagrun are taught using all the different types of runes. Ancient Runes: As soon as Scandinavian magical children can speak, they are taught their runic alphabet. There are different ones and by the time they attend The Dagrun, they are well proficient. The Dagrun takes their knowledge of the runes to another level, they cast spells with runes, tell fortunes, write and read as others might any language. Galdr Incantations: The Scandinavians do not believe in good or evil magic / light or dark - their incantations are not split into hexes, jinxes, curses and charms - they are collectively called Galdr incantations. Laws & Science of Magic: To cast an incantation, it is always necessary to understand it. Every magic has laws that govern it's use in the world, in nature or on the astral plane. Without truly understanding what you are casting, you could unleash chaos into the universe. Staff Craft: Scandinavian students at The Dagrun are not given wands but when they come of age at 17, they are sent on a staff quest into a nearby forest. Using runic divination they will find a tree that will willingly give them a branch that they must learn how to craft and hone with runic magic. Their staff is never fully complete as it learns with them, strengthens or diminishes depending on the life of the magisk væsen (magical being). Wood Craft: Utilising anything of wood, tree, table, chair, staff, wand ... a proficient student of Dagrun will learn how to manipulate wood for their own need - whether a tool, a toy, a weapon. [/b] In much the same way that the Scandinavian Magical community does not believe in light and dark magic, they also do not believe in blood lineage's having anything to do with magic. One is either Ægte magi - True Magic or Uden - no magic. They have lived by their own laws for hundreds of years, never interfering with any of the other countries and the international laws and way of treating other witches and wizards. However, they do draw the line with goblins, dwarves, elfs, giants, etc ... these they all term only as dyr (beasts) and do not recognise in them any magical abilities of worth. Ganga Fróðleikr - the final exam at the age of 21 years to graduate from The Dagrun. O - in honour of Odin - your grade is the most remarkable F - in honour of Freya - your grade is exceptional T - in honour of Thor - your grade is satisfactory L - in honour of Loki - your grade requires much work Uniforms: Warm Winter Whites - tunic and trousers, with fur lined boots // Navy blue for when the weather is warmer. Headmistress: Kerstin Holmström Deputy Head:  Sven Haglünd Games: Quidditch is played at the school as is BrandyBoll - a cross between ice-hockey and quidditch. (pucks with similar specifications as the balls in quidditch are used, a player's staff and played on the ice. Flying is not allowed, but apparating within the playing field is. Most scores into the two hoops at the end of each side of the pitch wins. There is no snitch equivalent.) The Harebell flower is the insignia on all uniforms. Banner: Striped Navy and Red vertical banner with white harebell in it's centre. There are no separate houses within the boarding school.		Neίlos Scholeίa Majik 3 Spots Available LOCATED AT... Egypt RECRUITS FROM... Egypt ADDITIONAL INFO... Click Here Neίlos Scholeίa Majik Students begin their learning at home from a very young age. They do not wait until they attend magic school. Parents/ guardians begin teaching their children how to sign from the age of 2/3 years - simple words to begin with so that they become used to speaking and signing together. This makes their ability to cast later much easier. The school is boards 400+ students; there is always a balance in the numbers between both houses. There is a Principal over the entire school -- Principalem Malik Noor And a Head Teacher over each House. Students start at Neilos Scholeia Majik at the age of 14 years and graduate at the age of 20years. - School Banner: Black flag with Golden Onion – to symbolise how darkness is overcome by eternal life - School Emblem: Golden Onion – to represent eternal life and healing. - The school was established in 1540, although it is unplottable, the school is known to be somewhere on the Nile, thanks largely in part to its name. - The school is split into two quads – Ma’at  and   Isfet - The Neilos Magic School specialises in Alchemy and Healing magic through herbology. - This school only allows cats as familiars, in fact they have an entire subject entirely about cats. - The students at the Neilos (Nile) Magic School do not use wands or other gimmicks to aid their magic, they use hand gestures, a magical sign language. - When their familiars are close, their magic becomes amplified. -- The student's familiar chooses which house their human belongs by simply turning towards that quad on entering on the first day. - No set uniform but emblem for each house is worn while in school. - When out of school, the School emblem is worn. - They do not believe in blood purity as they are more concerned with life and death. - Students do not fly on brooms but use magic carpets instead. - Students do not play quidditch but prefer to play:  Sagitta - a magical archery tournament or Hasta - a magical javelin throwing tournament. Their games are to test the individual but never the collective. The House of Ma’at – Banner of White with a black outlined ostrich feather at its centre. Head of House Ma'at -- Nura Jalal Subjects for those in The House of Ma’at: Cosmic Balance and Astronomy Hieroglyphic Scriptorium - the study of the ancient language of Hieroglyphs Laws of Magic (quite similar to Transfiguration & Alchemy -- a magical blend of physics and philosophy) Truth Magic (Charms through chants) Lingua Feles - language of cats - how to communicate, read, and care for your familiar. Herbology and Healing Scribing and the Art of Arithmancy Maat – Transmission of emotions – similar to legilimancy but of emotions not thoughts (no manipulation) The House of Isfet – White banner with narrow 5-point star within a circle at its centre.

New Zealand RECRUITS FROM... New Zealand ADDITIONAL INFO... Click Here Wananga Makutu There are only Tangata Makutu - magic people - they do not believe in blood purity. They engage very well with magical beings and beasts but there have NEVER been cases of part-beings / part-beasts on the Islands. Wananga Makutu - is the collective name for the three magic schools School Banner: black with white image of kiwi in left top corner: This is used when all three of the magic schools host an island wide event. All magic families are taught the Maori language, English language,  and the New Zealand sign language from an early age. School Emblem: Each school has it's own emblem. The first school was established in 1879 on the North Island but soon younger students and older students wanted something too. The NZ magic school is now – a meeting house on the North Island, another meeting house on the South Island, and a boarding school under water between both islands. Students are home-schooled prior to starting on the South Island magic school. The day school on the South island is for students  aged between 7 and 13 years: Uniform is checkered blue and white dress with peter-pan collar and white tennis shoes / or jeans, white shirt / blouse with blue stripe on collar. Emblem : Hapuku fish -- worn as a pin. The Hapuku Makutu (Magic Wand) teaches children: History of Magic - this includes the New Zealand magical history as well as any that included Britain.

Potions. Astronomy. Graduating Exam is known as Whakamatautau Tonga. The same grading that applies to Hogwarts, applies to Hapuku Makutu. The Tiaki Makutu is the North Island day school for students aged from 14yrs to 16 years. Uniform is casual but respectful  - no revealing clothing allowed. School emblem: - Kiwi -  to be worn at all times. Because this group are known to be volatile, hormonal and erratic, these two years are important in learning protection magic. Subjects taught: Protection Potions Protection Charms Defence against the Dark Arts Wordless magic Occlumency - protect your mind. Graduating Exam is known as Whakamatautau Ki Te Raki. The same grading that applies to Hogwarts, applies to Tiaki Makutu. Whare Moana  (Sea House is the Underwater Magic School) The Underwater school is a boarding school for those aged 17 to 24. It has a large protective sphere that allows water, fish and other under water creatures to pass safely through  while at the same time, keeping the sea water out of any of the buildings. The Magic School specialises in water magic and earth based magic. The school emblem is a sea horse. There are no familiars. For every incantation that is learned and mastered, a symbol of that incantation is tattoo’d onto the student – size and place are ruled by the student and the Leader of Whare Moana. As New Zealand is under British rule – the same laws that apply to students at Hogwarts, apply to students at the Wananga Makutu. The mode of dress at Whare Moana is a suit that resembles a wet-suit but made from a specialised cloned fish scale that links together to help the student to walk, swim and breathe under water when outside the sphere of the Whare Moana. Subjects Taught: Underwater Herbology Magical Beasts and Beings Mermish language Sentient and Symbiotic Relationships Makutu Wai - Water magic - the use of wordless and wandless magic to effectively hone water spells. Makutu Whenua - Earth magic - the use of wordless and wandless magic to effectively use earth elemental magic Tino Uaua is the 'hardest' set of exams the students will ever have to take.

Eke Tohora - whale riding is again much like flying on a dragon but underwater.
Kanata de Magie 2 Spots Available LOCATED AT... Banff National Park of Canada RECRUITS FROM... Canada ADDITIONAL INFO... Click Here In the beautiful Banff National Park of Canada there are two magic schools hidden away from prying eyes. Deep in the beautiful forestry lies the Junior School, The Canadian Junior Magical Academy founded in 1925. First year starts at age 11 much like the Hogwarts School of Magic in England. Students can sit an exam in their 16th year, the ELIAS – so named after the second highest mountain range in Canada. The grading system at the CJM stands at : A = Amazing. B = Brave attempt. C = Chronic. A is the highest grade – above 60 to 100%. B is a pass grade 40 – 60%    and C is an outright fail – anything below 40%. Subject choices at Junior School are: Wandlore Potions Care of Magical Creatures – relatively safe classification levels No-mage Studies History of Magic Charms Defence against the Dark Arts Astronomy Herbology Theory of Transfiguration. Practical Transfiguration English and French are also taught as extra-curricular subjects. Canadian students must create, and bond with their own wand. They are taught in Junior school all about wand lore. The creation of their wand is very similar to the Staff quest that The Dagrun students are put through. School Emblem:  Whiskey Jack / Canada Jay School flag: White with red emblem Kanata de magie 20 miles west of the Junior school lies Lake Moraine. On the shores of the lake stands another beautiful large log cabin that is home to 185 boarding students. Students range from 17 years to 24 years. Final exams are known collectively as The Logan exams – named after the Highest mountain range in Canada. The A, B, C grading also applies to the Kanata de Magie (Magic Village). The senior school was originally three separate senior schools. The Inuit had their own way of teaching their young, the French wizarding settlers also had their own method of passing on their wizarding heritage, and the British wizarding families likewise. The three came together under the one umbrella to share knowledge and community, when it seemed that the rest of the world was doing its best to wipe out the wizarding communities completely.  By 1820 Kanata de Magie was a fully recognised magic school, that specialised in the artful skill of animagus training. Canada has the highest rate of animagi in the world, and as it is part of the Kanata school training, none are registered. Students begin their transfiguration training in the junior school. Subjects at the school include: Charms – with special emphasis on water, snow and ice incantations. Herbology Potions Divination - Elemental Water Manipulation Transfiguration - Animagus Training Dark Magic Ancient Languages Curse Breaking Alchemy Care of Magical Creatures Magical Law and Defence Laws of Magic Students may take up to 5 subjects, and require a pass in 4 to graduate. Although Canada has quidditch teams, and students are taught how to fly when at school. The Canadian magical schools prefer their own sports and games. Aputi racing – snow racing done on the backs of hippogriffs – no flying is allowed but try telling that to a hippogriff. Ice hockey is played at the magic school – professors back in 1933 got together to help create a magical variation of the game. It is played all winter long when Lake Moraine freezes over. There are no uniforms at the school but they do have robes and hats that they wear if ever abroad or visiting another magic school. These are white fur or a lighter material for other seasons. School emblem: Bear School flag: White flag with black bear in centre

SEPTEMBER IN GAME

As far as students and families are aware Hogwarts school is still not complete, and there is much work to be done. The students all received letters from the Ministry and the Board of Education, clearly stating that the younger students - 1st year to 6th year would be attending school in a secure location, unplottable, and protected. While the 7th year and those returning to complete their 7th year, received letters stating that they would be the only students at Hogwarts that year while repairs continued. The ministry, however, and the Board of Directors of Hogwarts had deemed that it is time for a change. A big change. Things cannot go on as they were and a huge part of that lay in the segregation of students. The Minister for Magic believed that even if blood supremacy is taught in the home, it could be diminished or nipped in the bud when at school; But not if there was already rife segregation and favouritism of houses and lineages. So things were to change, but it could only be done with the help of its actual students. Did the ministry inform the students, or the parents/guardians? Of course not, all was done under secrecy. The 7th year group would be 'guinea pigs' - trialling the new way, in the hopes that if it worked Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would have its new beginning, its fresh start and would be known henceforth as Hogwarts School of Magic. Each house has been disbanded, the ghosts in an uproar but once they listened to the plan, they too hope it will work. Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are no more - except in the hearts of those who had once been sorted. There is only one common area for 7th-year students to hang out in, and one wing for the 7th-year dormitories of single or double rooms. Toilets/bathrooms on corridors are not assigned to a specific gender, these too are communal (all dormitories have their own en-suite). The professors have their own individual living quarters throughout the school - but there is also a staff/faculty common room. The House-elves have the freedom to come and go throughout the castle, and food no longer magically appears - the house elves serve it. They no longer clean up completely after students, they tidy the dorms but students must do their own laundry.

On the train journey, Aurors from the ministry joined the students, but no one was told why. They were trained to deal with people, but for over a month they had been trained in dealing with teenagers, especially those with PTSD. They are to work as caretakers at Hogwarts for the duration of the school year. Some Aurors had specific classifications now, Auror Class 1, Auror Class 2 and Auror, besides the Head Auror himself. Shacklebolt had really shaken up the Ministry, making sure that anyone that had allegiances to Voldemort didn’t stick around for very long. Some were sent to Azkaban, others … people only guess at what became of them. Some say that Voldemort's followers swore they were under the Imperius curse, much like during the first wizarding war; others seemed to simply disappear.

With the Aurors on the train came three individuals, who had been homeschooled but with the incarceration and death of their family members, they applied to the ministry for permission to attend Hogwarts for their NEWTs. Permission is granted to them, and these three purebloods, who later come to be revealed as children of Death Eaters, have a plan.

Origin Story of The 3

With the Aurors on the train, comes also a ministry official from the Department of Mysteries - An Unspeakable - A Magical Empath who can manipulate people's thoughts and persuade people to do his bidding. He is there partly to ensure that the three pureblood students are calm but also because there is an Obscurial on board the train, and Archer Fornax wants nothing more than to get his hands on this individual. All hell breaks loose on the train, emotions and traumatic memories are brought to the fore and in this chaos - Fornax makes a discovery. There is another Empath, one that appears to feel the emotions of others, one that appears to see and communicate with spirits. An Extrasensory-based empath. Archer now wants both the Empath and the Obscurus but to what end?

The students arrive at Hogwarts to discover that it looks perfect, good as new - as if the war had never happened. They are confused but are so caught up with other emotions and details. The Great Hall has but two tables and on the top table, all the house banners are gone and in their place are the Hogwarts banners. The row of professors at the top table are all unfamiliar. Everyone except for Professor Binns (ghost) has gone to the other 'school' to teach the younger students so that they at least would have some continuity in their lives. It is hoped that the older students ranging in ages of 18 to 20, will not care whether there are new or old professors, or whether there will be a difference in how the school is run. For Minerva McGonagall is also going and in her place is ex-auror and professor, Myrillion Fawley. A therapist is in residence at the school in the event that any student wants to actually talk about their feelings - without revealing anything that the Ministry has told them not to say, because patient confidentiality really isn't what it will become. And then the Wands happen - all students have been told that they will get their wand at Hogwarts, it was one of the main reasons that students signed the form with the ministry to not speak about what they had endured or their MBRC trials. The 7th-year students believe that their wands will be waiting for them but that is not so. They must endure the humiliation of being told they can wait till the following day. A riot almost breaks out in the Great Hall led by Johnathon Miracle and soon the ministry officials are brought in, with wands and paperwork. Some students found their wands, others found their wands only to discover that ownership had passed and their wand no longer recognised them; some students discovered that their wand had not been found or had been broken, and a few could not connect with any wands at all. As if the students were not upset and emotional already, they left the Great Hall to be taken by a house elf to their new dorm - where again some found they had a room to themselves, or were sharing with someone they didn't know or from another house, or someone they didn't like. It was all becoming too much, and some could only cope by smoking weed, getting drunk, blasting things apart, flying recklessly or meeting with the therapist. Some students set up clubs to help their fellow students, believing that these clubs would help to bring some normality back into their lives, to help them forget even for a brief moment what they had endured.

The newspapers would have said a lot about the Ministry ShakeUp and how the new Minister for Magic was trying to clean house. The newspapers would also reveal when certain DE and Voldemort sympathisers especially those who had worked at the ministry were arrested, trialled and sent to Azkaban. However, on Thursday, September 30th lots of OWLs arrive at Hogwarts with copies of the Daily Prophet for everyone. No one knows who paid for them, or who sent them but every student, every professor, and every auror is sent their own copy. What could possibly be of interest in it? The aurors already know. It is the true reason they are there at the school, and now everyone else will know too. The date for the trial of Dolores Umbridge has been set, and the lawyers involved have stated to the reporter of the Daily Prophet that everyone that was in Azkaban was sworn to secrecy when they were released. They could not be told why at the time, but the reporter of the newspaper reveals that it is all to do with contaminating the case. If bias occurred during the court case towards Umbridge because of the truth of what really happened to the muggle-born population during the war, the case could be declared a mistrial and she would go free. It is further revealed in the newspaper that the lawyers against Umbridge will require many of these people who had been incarcerated in Azkaban to act as witnesses at the trial which is expected to take weeks to get through. The date for the trial has been set for January 3rd 2000. The newspaper goes on to say that it is believed that many of those who were incarcerated were students. While those who are underage will not be expected to stand as witnesses against Umbridge, the older students  -the 7th years - who are in attendance at Hogwarts will be. The reporter goes on to reveal how they believe that these students are under the protection of the ministry until after the court case has concluded.

[Wolfling72]

plants a flag of interest right here. You know..so you have an accurate accounting.

[Kendra]

Appreciate the planted flag Wolfling  ;D

F.A.Q

There are probably plenty of questions that people would like to ask but just don't want to be the first one so I will throw my own out there and answer those, and if there are still questions that need asking - please feel free to.


1) Does my character have to be a muggleborn?
No your character doesn't, but I would like anyone joining the game to have their first character be either a muggleborn or a halfblood that would have been seriously affected by the MBRC.

2) What do you mean they will be retaking their year without wands?
That was all part of my evil ... I mean interesting design. It was to cause more angst among the muggleborn / halfbloods that had their wands confiscated. At first they can't afford to get new wands, they apply for the return of their old wands but that is a losing red tape battle. Finally the government will think they are being very clever by bringing what spare wands they do have in their possession to Hogwarts on the first day back so that after sorting students can 'rummage' for their old wand. If their wand cannot be found among the batch, then they will be given a docket to get a second hand wand. Ollivanders shop had as you know been obliterated, and with it all the wands. So all that Old Ollivander has at his disposal are second hand wands the ministry collected from the dead. Ollivander will eventually make more but he is very old, and very frail now so it will be a while. Of course this will enrage those who had their wands taken from them. We like angst  >:)

3) How old will my student be because you know E rules an' all that?!
Well, we will be able to rp students returning to Hogwarts to repeat their final year which will put them at 19/20yrs and those just entering their final year 18 years. We won't have any 17 year olds.

4) Will I get to choose what house my character belongs to?
Yes and no - You will do up a character sheet and where it says house - you will put the house you would like to belong to, but if your character genuinely doesn't suit that house or does not have a reason for the sorting hat placing it there, then the character will be placed into a suitable house. Of course this is not likely to happen, but just in case  O:)

5) Can I play a teacher, a minister, a grown up?
Not right away, the game is about the school and the lasting effects of prejudice and hatred, and how having the school split into those particular 4 houses is not actually a good thing. I have created other Hogwarts games, and they get big too fast if everyone is suddenly making parents, shop owners, teachers etc etc etc. Let's keep it small and manageable (judging from interest that will not be a problem  ;D )

6) Will there be different areas to play in?
Absolutely. There will be a 'Flashback' area - where a lot of character building is going to happen in. Story arks get hammered out, friendships, memories, enemies etc all can be done here either in a one shot or rp'd with someone else.
There will be different areas of the school, the Houses, Classrooms, Grounds but as and when needed or asked for. Again, no point in spending forever creating and losing my mind when I could be rp'ing too.

7) Will the game have rules? Oh yeah, it must or we would all run amok and that just cannot happen on my watch. Of course the rules will be there so that the players can enjoy the game.

8) Won't it get confusing being in a game with one person and others enter the same thread / place to play too?
Sure it gets confusing but we will use tags like any other decent group game would to keep tabs on who is interacting with who.

9) Because of the timeline, there is obviously canon characters still very much around. Can I play a canon character?
Yes, they will be around but no, none of us will be playing them. Our characters will see them, maybe give a brief mention etc.
Any other interaction with a canon has to be run by the GM first and foremost and we will have an area where canon mentions should be noted. This is to prevent Mary from winking at Ginny in Transfiguration the same time that Tony is hitting her with a quaffle on the quidditch pitch.

10) Do we use face claims?
Yes, it has to be a model / actor and not a cartoon image of any sort. There will be a list compiled eventually of who has what person, because I genuinely go potty when I see three of the same actor from different times of their life being used by different characters in the same game.

11) Can my family come from Europe?
No, the only place your student /family can come from is England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. There are other magical schools, attend those! Now, if for some reason you have an old character that you want to revamp but this character is from another country than those listed, then please make the reason they will be transferring to the school believable! Just because my dad got a new job at the ministry, doesn't mean the entire family up and moves. Why did he have to apply to another countries ministry? What happened? Make it believable!

12) How many characters can I make?
Start with 2, it gets really easy to get caught up in character creation and forget to actually play the character. It also becomes maddening when people only create a character to be with another character. Use your 2 wisely, build a solid character and play them!!

13) How many digits in the Muggle-born registration number? (Question courtesy of Caela)
The MBR number should have 4 numbers, then a dash - then the first 3 letters of the person's surname, a slash / with the initials after whether muggleborn - MB, half-blood = HB etc. So something like ...
person is called Mark Greyson muggleborn ----    3488-GRE/MB

Lovely to see you again, Kendra.

[Kendra]

Crash! Fab to see you again too.
It has been too long. Are you planting a flag too?
*Wink wink nudge nudge* :D

[Haloriel]

Okay. This looks really good. I am uncertain what I will have for time, but I want to plant a cute, very muggle-shaped queer flag of interest.

You've been missed Kendra, fantastic premise.  :-)

[Levi]

I always want to join a hp game but as mentioned they do tend to get very big fast so if this does stay small I would be interested

I will reign it in as best I can, I promise. I don't have time anymore to devout to big :D

[Crash]

Tentatively interested.  I have wanted to make a sweet little cottage core lesbian for a while, so will work on her when you feel you have enough interest to start.

[Caela]

Great premise Kendra!!

Definitely interested.

Was wondering, with Ollivander getting so old, would it be possible (maybe) to make a granddaughter to has been learning his craft from him and attempting to help him remake a stock of beginner wands? They wouldn't be nearly as good as her grandfather can make them but would manage to be serviceable for classwork until students either find their original wands or save up enough to get a better quality wand from her grandfather.

Just a random thought that popped into my head.

Good to see you back!

EYA: Another random question, with as much as many of these muggleborn students would have been changed by their experiences, would it be possible that they could find their original wands only to discover that they are no longer a good fit for that wand? Perhaps the long lapse, combined with the personality changes from their abuse or time in hiding, weakens their bond with the wand and it no longer works nearly as well (or perhaps, stubbornly, not at all) for them?

Caela, lovely to see you! Thank you for the welcome back.
It would I suppose depend on the age of the grand-daughter. For now I just want people to rp at the school, do the studenty things in an attempt to keep the game from expanding too quickly. If she is a student, maybe her last year - repeating it to get her NEWTs so that she can then help her grandfather to rebuild? She could use the restricted section of the library to get information regarding wands, cores etc that she hopes would help her grandfather and her own education into wandlore.

------------------

I will be posting up the character sheet template later today, so those waiting can get character building in the mean time.

Thanks! Look forward to making a sheet for her for you to be able to see what's brewing in my head lol.

Also have a loose thought for a muggleborn dealing with the added angst of perhaps finding her old wand, only to discover that who she is now, isn't who she was when the wand chose her, and her wand no longer wants to work well for her....just for the extra fun of tormenting my character...because I'm never mean to my characters!  >:)

Gonna ask to save Dove Cameron for a face claim please. Not sure who the second will be yet...will add her when I start writing her up. Muggleborn first!

ETA: How many digits is the muggleborn registration number meant to be?

I'll be looking to create a Slytherin chap...approval pending of course.

And welcome back K.  Absolute pleasure to see you in the mix once more.

Will do, I was just popping back on to start a FC listing which is no harm to get started. Consider Dove marked.

The MBR number should have 4 numbers, then a dash - then the first 3 letters of the person's surname, a slash / with the initials after whether muggleborn - MB, half-blood = HB etc. So something like ...

The Ollivander's granddaughter idea is still bubbling and will likely get written up at work tonight but i need to head to bed to get some sleep! That Muggleborn wasn't going to let me go to bed til I wrote her up though! lol

I look forward to seeing what tweaks will make her even better for your game...she's going to be so damned fun to torment!

Thank you so much for sending her on. Will head over to read her now.
Once approved, just post her up here if you like. I will be making up a few threads over the next day or so. Get some sleep, happy dreaming.



I did want to ask everyone's opinion on this before creating threads

Where do you see MuggleNet being a perfect fit? Extreme? Non-Con? Bondage or Light?

[Kendra]

ETA: How many digits is the muggleborn registration number meant to be?

I will add this question and it's answer to the FAQ pile for future reference  C:)

[Mellific]

Heard you were back in town, Kendra! Just wanted to stop by and say welcome back! It's nice to see you adding another HP game to the roster. Wishing you and the game the very best! <3

[Kendra]

Mel! Hi, so good to see you.
Yeah, I can't stay away from them. Always my go to game.
Thank you, means a lot.

<3

I think my girl can’t find her wand, but later sees that it had been given to someone else who doesn’t want to give it up.

[Wolfling72]

Ohhh please save Lauren London for my troubled waif. Thank you.

[Crash]

Save me Tashi Rodriguez please.

Face Claim: Dove Cameron
Name: Aeryn Smythe

Nickname: N/A

Gender: Female

Age: 18 (August 28th)

Sexuality: Pansexual - male leaning

Birthplace: London, England

Blood Status: Muggle-born
Muggle-Born Registration Number: 6724-SMY/MB

Year: 7th - 1st time
House: Hufflepuff

Wand: Confiscated: 10 3/4in long, Dogwood, Unicorn hair core, pliant but not overly flexible
Patronus: A flight of sparrows GM Note: Will be unable to hold a happy memory long enough to summon this (once she has a working wand) at the start of the game
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Aeryn's petite, 5'2, frame is tone and lithe for her height with delicate curves that she knows how to enhance or cleverly cover depending on her mood and clothing choices. Platinum blonde hair falls just past her shoulder blades, when left loose, but since her release from Azkaban, it is only worn loose around her family. Around other Witches and Wizards (especially those not Muggleborn) she makes a point of wearing it swept up in a variety of styles so that the back of her neck is bared and they cannot escape the line of numbers tracing her skin. Sharp green eyes seem to see everything and a gaze that used to dance with mirth now pierces through those she encounters, almost seeming to dare them to try her in some way. Clothing hides the worst of the scars received from Snatchers and guards in Azkaban, but one, delicate, knife scar traces the right side of her neck from ear to collarbone and she makes a point of leaving this bare just like the registration numbers along her spine. 

Personality Traits: Stubborn | Determined | Intelligent | Ambitious | Reckless | Trustworthy (if she gives her word it's good) | Morally Grey | Loyal to those she cares for | Suspicious | Angry | Excellent at masking for her family

Personal History: Aeryn was the 3rd child (and only daughter) of John and Samantha Smyth. A Biologist and Chemist, respectively, they encouraged their children to immerse themselves in studies of the world around them and magic was never spoken of in their house except in abstract terms about the magic and wonder of the world around them. Certainly no one thought magic was real until the day Aeryn fell into a lake and got tangled in some sort of seaweed in the water. Struggling against the pull of the plant, the 9 year old screamed in fear and as bubbles flew from her mouth, one expanded to encompass her entire head, giving her air to breathe until her father could find her in the murky water. Only when they broke the surface did the bubble break leaving father and daughter staring at each other in complete shock. Not knowing what to make of the experience, both simply set it aside in favor of experiences in their world that they could understand.

And her father promptly enrolled Aeryn in swimming lessons so that no such accident would ever happen again.

Two years later a letter arrived inviting Aeryn to study at a special school for people who could perform magic. Not knowing, entirely, what to make of this, her parents followed the instructions on the letter and were shocked when they actually found themselves in Diagon Alley to purchase Aeryn's school supplies. Aeryn was thrilled! Magic was real! She was a witch!

The bright, hardworking, happy girl was sorted into Hufflepuff and quite happy to be among other young, optimistic, hardworking students. With a background in some basic human science, however, she couldn't help but to wonder how she'd gotten such a gift and she found herself spending much of her free time in the library looking through old wizarding genealogies. Could it be that some witch or wizard in the past had crossed paths with an ancestor of hers and left something in her families bloodline that had found it's way down to her? It seemed likely to her, but she never found proof one way or the other. But it made for entertaining research when she wasn't otherwise occupied with studies or the new friends she was making.

Not being as immersed in Wizarding history (all she knew came from books, there were no family stories to be brought up on for her) she didn't fully understand the scope of the danger just being Muggleborn put her in until word came of students being taken and imprisoned for nothing more than the state of their parents bloodline! She'd been in Muggle schools long enough, before Hogwarts, to have been taught about more than one genocide perpetrated through history and to have no interest in being a part of one herself!

Instead of submitting to review, she tried to run.

Still a student, she was never going to get far but she fought fiercely when cornered and only a Snatcher using the Crutiatus brought her down. She barely remembered her trial, it was decided before she ever arrived anyway, but having to watch her beloved wand be tossed into a box like so much garbage...that was a moment she'd never forget. Until then most of her situation had seemed like a nightmare but in that moment it was all too real and she felt the first stirrings of a deep, abiding, rage take root inside of her.

A rage that was nourished in Azkaban. There were no dementors but that didn't mean the guards didn't torment them and one, particularly nasty, piece of work (she'd learn eventually he was a cousin to one of the Snatchers she'd fought before her capture) seemed to take particular delight in tormenting her. Using a blade, carried in his pocket with some sort of sheath spell, he would chop off chunks of her hair and the one time she tried to fight back, he left her with the scar on her neck.

By the time the war was over and they were released, Aeryn had learned two lessons...1) patience and 2) ambition. She would have to be patient to find the right time to exact her revenge (and she promised herself she would) and ambitious to ensure she grew strong enough that no one could ever make her suffer in such a way again.

Her parents cried and hugged her so tightly she thought they might break something when she was Apparated home. Her mother sobbed over her hair and the very next day they were in Diagon Alley and purchased a potion to make it grow so that within a week you'd never know how severely it had been butchered. Her brothers vowed, despite having no magic themselves, to bring whoever had hurt her to their knees and while she cherished their anger on her behalf, she knew there was nothing they could actually do without being hurt themselves. Still, her families love helped to sooth some of the wounded edges in her battered soul but the Aeryn they knew was long gone. She spent more time alone, more time brooding, seeming to be waiting for something...and then it came.

Word arrived that students could come and complete, or retake if interrupted, their last year. They would have the opportunity apply for the return of their confiscated wands (that they weren't simply returned but were bound in red tape was a fact that made Aeryn's blood boil...how dare they!) but until their old wand was restored or a new one purchased - and oh yes, Ollivander's was destroyed along with all his inventory so it would be awhile - they could study without.

Aeryn wanted to scream in the new Minister smarmy face! How dare he act as if he was doing the Muggleborn's a favor! How patronizing! After a week spent in her room, however, she told her parents she was going back to school. She wanted to finish her studies (ok, she wanted time in the Restricted section of the library to learn as much as she could) and they promised to visit Diagon Alley regularly so that, if she didn't find her wand, they could get her a new one as soon as he started having some in stock again. Or perhaps a vacation was needed (her Mother's suggestion) after all, there were other wandmakers in Europe, maybe they didn't need to wait for Ollivander.

[Kendra]

I think my girl can’t find her wand, but later sees that it had been given to someone else who doesn’t want to give it up.

oh that would make for interesting play indeed  >:)

Ohhh please save Lauren London for my troubled waif. Thank you.

Consider it done Wolfling :D

Save me Tashi Rodriguez please.

This too shall be done :D



Caela's lovely character Aeryn has been approved.
Just send on any Character Sheets to myself before posting them up here.

Would you all feel better about the game being posted to the Light, Non-Con or Extreme thread?
You have a say in this so speak now before I choose for us all :P

[Wolfling72]

OMG---I apologize for the angst fest you will soon be forced to read through, Kendra...

also my vote would be Non-Con or Extreme due to the subject matter but most people tend to place  Howgwarts games in light.

*pouts*

Annnnnd--- I sent Clarity to you.

[Haloriel]

This is a fascinating question. Like, I straight up cackled.

My opinion is extreme.

[Praxis]

Extreme here as well.

Not that I have any plans to push things as a writer but from a GM perspective, it chafes me when I come up with an idea and I'm limited by the board I am writing in.

[Wolfling72]

SO much this.

[Codexa]

Oooooo angsty HP goodness.

This looks fantastic. <3

[Crash]

I am the odd person out and prefer bondage but as long as stuff is tagged for extreme content I am fine with it.

[Caela]

I would vote Bondage or Extreme just to cover bases.

All the walking PTSD..some nastiness is bound to occur

[Wolfling72]

I would vote Bondage or Extreme just to cover bases.

All the walking PTSD..some nastiness is bound to occur

That was my thought process as well. I know my initial character concept is lil vengeance minded.

Annnnnd--- I sent Clarity to you.

I've had one in Light and another in Extreme, it mainly hinges on the style or premise of the game methinks.
And thank you, your vote is counted and appreciated.  ;D

ROFL NEVER absolutely NEVER apologise for an angst fest - I love them  >:)
Cannot wait to read Clarity, thank you.

[Kendra]

This is a fascinating question. Like, I straight up cackled.

My opinion is extreme.

LMAO
The wee devil on my left shoulder fell off laughing at the absurdity of my even asking to begin with.
The iddy biddy angel on my right shoulder smirked and said it was best to know who my players are  8-)
TBH I think I had a fair idea anyway  >:)

Extreme here as well.

Not that I have any plans to push things as a writer but from a GM perspective, it chafes me when I come up with an idea and I'm limited by the board I am writing in.

Absolutely agree, and with the crap that so many of these characters have been through - I am picturing some serious PTSD flinging about the place.

[Kendra]

SO much this.

Hear hear ;) :D
Agree

Oooooo angsty HP goodness.

This looks fantastic. <3

Oh tell me you are on board!! PLEASE  ;D
<3

I am the odd person out and prefer bondage but as long as stuff is tagged for extreme content I am fine with it.

Exactly and in Extreme - anything goes, so just mark up and agree with your writing partner/s that it is bondage and all good.

I would vote Bondage or Extreme just to cover bases.

All the walking PTSD..some nastiness is bound to occur

Yep, that is it in a nutshell.
The Angst Police won't be patrolling - so the proverbial crap will hit the fan  C:) >:)

That was my thought process as well. I know my initial character concept is lil vengeance minded.

oh dear me ... I best go and read Clarity asap :P
;D

[Kendra]

Ok, so every one had had their say and the vote is for Extreme section. Do remember however that each character has an On/ Off list and every player too.
Communicate well and nothing you don't want to happen should.
O:)

Right, I best go and check Clarity. *cracks knuckles and feigns a blessing*
:P

[Wolfling72]

Behold - Clarity Selwyn---

Face Claim: Lauren London
Name: Clarity Denissa Selwyn

Nickname: Claire (to those she considers friends)

Gender: Female

Age: 19 (as of 1st September)

Sexuality: Sapiosexual | Panromantic

Birthplace: London, England

Blood Status: Muggleborn
Muggle-Born Registration Number: 0401-SEL/MB

Year: 7th year - 1st time
House: Gryffindor

Wand: Apple wood with a dragon heartstring core, 10 ¾ and supple flexibility (before it was snapped)
Patronus: Hawk
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Clarity is a curvaceous caramel-hued woman who stands at a smidge under 5"4" and weighs just a bit over 130 pounds.  A tribal Hawk adorns her left calf while a tribal wolf has pride of place on her left shoulder blade. Her hands host a variety of small, thin scars across the backs and palms, while her face has a relatively long scar along her left cheekbone. Teeth marks and other scars mar her form in less apparent places. Her registration number is tatted on the right side of her throat, high enough that it can not be hidden, not that she tries to. Clarity dresses for comfort, not style; one will never find her in either heels or dresses.

Personality Traits:

• Adaptable: Due to her time on the run, Claire quickly changes to suit new environments.
• Disciplined: Her years in the Wizarding world have taught her the value of controlling her temper and the world around her.
• Hardworking: Her family taught her the value of diligence. She tends to do every task with the same dedication.
• Hot Tempered: Her hands and mouth tend to get away from her the moment she perceives any unfairness.
• Intelligent: Her smarts are something she has always embraced, as No one can take that from her.
• Stoic: Pain and deprivation mean NOTHING. She will survive.
• Vindictive: The last year has only strengthened Claire's need for vengeance.

Personal History: Clarity was born on October 31st, 1979, to a loving family in a five-bedroom house located in West Hampstead. The youngest of two girls, she grew up well aware of the wizarding world (and her place in it) as Cerise did her very best to keep Claire apprised of what one could expect if one were NOT from a wizarding family. The pair, both highly intelligent and sociable, debated the houses and magic from the first time the youngest Selwyn exhibited any magical ability (age 7, an exploded TV when she couldn't watch what she wanted). Due to the many talks and debates,  the youngest Selwyn daughter thought she'd be fine once she received her Hogwarts letter.

She was wrong.

Sorted into the same House as Harry Potter, the young Gryffindor struggled with the inherent (and rampant) prejudice exhibited by many pure and half-blood students- getting into fights, arguing against bigotry and garnering far too many detentions, losing house points with abandon during her first three years of schooling and developing a DEEP dislike for what she saw as unfair advantages. Eventually, she retreated into study and research, curbing her temper through sheer force of will. She learned to get payback in small, quiet ways that could not be linked to her and simultaneously developed a bit of a theft habit.

That would come in handy--eventually.

The Summer between her sixth and seventh year, she lost her grandfather, mother, and sister in one fell swoop, the result of a bombing. It wasn't until she tried to purchase her supplies for her last year of schooling that she learned about the Muggleborn Registration Act. Instead of turning herself in, she ran with the help of her da and grandmum. She did not stay with them and begged the pair to leave the country, but the pair never did, instead holing up in their vacation home in Arundel.

Claire spent months on the run but was finally captured in February of 1998; her wand snapped, a sham trial given and tossed into prison like yesterday's garbage. She suffered brutal and repeated violations there but fought her attackers every time, gaining new scars on her hands, chest, back, and legs. It did not matter; she would be no one's victim. By the time the war was over, and Azkaban emptied of those who had been unfairly imprisoned, Claire was no longer the smiling, mouthy girl. No, she learned to plot, to plan, to wait, to NEVER cry.

When those in power shoved the paper at her for her to sign? She did so, glaring at every single person in the room. When they told her that she could attend Hogwarts without her wand until she could gain a new one, she agreed, her full lips holding a smirk that promised retribution. She left the Ministry that day with a collection of galleons, and a glass paperweight while snapping a wand or three on her way out. Fuck 'em.

Thanks Wolfling, fantastic character.




Now ... deep breaths everyone because the ride will be rocky.
As if your characters have not been through enough ... the angst will hit the fan at Hogwarts.
You still have time to back out if you so wish  >:)

Or do you want to hear more ...

I feel that we need to know all the things....how else are muggle-borns and half-bloods raised in the muggle world supposed to be angry enough to beat the crap outta everyone before we start?

[Haloriel]

@ Kendra: Okay so. This is taking place in like ... 1999? Did I read this right? Or did my brains leak out of my ears again? It's okay if they did. Used to it.  XD  >:)

no leakage, you are absolutely spot on.

September 1999  8-)

[InnocentSynn]

Imma plant a flag here as well.  And also, if we're doing this, I wanna claim a young Johnny Depp as my face claim.  Got an idea well locked in inside of my head

[Kendra]

Consider if you will 2 magical beings:

1) Poltergeist/s - manifested by the energy that all the tortured/ abused students channel into what New Scientist calls the quantum mechanical vacuum. A load of bumcop really but ... but there will be a few new poltergeists showing up around the school because of all the angst in the air  >:) Think Peeves but vile and not a quirky looking guy in a cap. BUT what if the students who generated these apparitions could actually direct them in their mischief - and no one other than said students would be any the wiser.

2)Obscurial/s - https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Obscurial
An Obscurial was a young wizard or witch who had developed a dark parasitical magical force, known as an Obscurus, as a result of their magic being suppressed through psychological or physical abuse. When a magical child was forced to repress their talent through physical or psychological abuse, they developed a parasitical magical force inside of them called an Obscurus, resulting from their strong emotions of distress. An Obscurial might lose control when they reached their emotional and mental breaking point, releasing their Obscurus as an invisible (or nearly invisible) destructive wind. In extreme cases, they might physically transform into an Obscurus.

When an Obscurial released the Obscurus within, their eyes became pure white and their physical form vibrated and became distorted. While the Obscurus was invisible, the Obscurial could physically interact with the world without making physical contact, though the ability was uncontrolled and triggered by the host's distress, anger, or other intense emotions. This notably damaged structures and objects near the host.
---------------------------

Now normally these Obscurials die because the psychological / physical abuse and the oppression of their magic starts very young so that the Obscurial dies before they are even 10. Read up more about them if you like, link is up there  ::)

Anyways ... how many students now at Hogwarts have just spent the best part of 8/9 months being magically oppressed and abused?!  What if at least 3 maybe 4 students are so damanged in that time that an Obscuria begins to form inside of them. Think of it as a major ball of PTSD getting unleashed, but every time it does - it is catastrophic not just for those about them but for the person too. The way to be saved is of course through love, so you have to really consider - do you want your character eventually destroyed or ... will you let them be loved / saved?!

[Kendra]

Imma plant a flag here as well.  And also, if we're doing this, I wanna claim a young Johnny Depp as my face claim.  Got an idea well locked in inside of my head

Hiya Synn, Johnny Depp is now your faceclaim, all ages, faceups/offs etc.  ;D

[Haloriel]

... Is this permission to write an obscurial who survived or ... are you saying we'll see them as NPCs?

Either of these are good, but. ... Yeah.

-sits really hard on his other 18 million questions-

Last one for today, I swear.

[Kendra]

Last one for today, I swear.

nope, this is me saying - that technically if that is what it takes to create an Obscurial, then all the Muggleborn / Half-bloods / mixed-bloods that have been through hell and back could potentially have the makings of being an Obscurial. So ...not as NPC's, but one of your characters if this is something that any of you would like. No one has to if they don't want to, but it is another avenue to explore with all the damage that has been done.

Always feel free to ask, I may not reply straight away but I will eventually reply  :-)

[Wolfling72]

Eyes Clarity

At the very least, I know that wench has a ball of Poltergeist activity waiting to mess things up...BUT  Obscurials are amazingly powerful things...and oh so angry...

They can be very powerful if they have the opportunity to become so, but those Obscurials often had the Obscurus inside them for a few years at least. It is entirely up to you and your character if you want their Obscurus to grow too powerful. They will only technically be manifesting for the first time at Hogwarts. But do know that every time the Obscurus is used, that dark power poisons the person. Will you want your character eventually saved or killed off?!

[Codexa]

Oh tell me you are on board!! PLEASE  ;D

Yesss!!! Consider me on board!  >:)

And with that I bid you all a good night - chillin with a glass of vino kind of night  8-)
I have a less taxing day tomorrow so will start sorting threads etc. I'm having issues atm with my WIKI link and can't get it open to load up images. So if I start threads tomorrow and they are not 'exciting' just know it is all about the writing :P

I must finish at least one of my characters as well tomorrow.  >:)

I tend to make characters that could go either way.

Sometimes DEATH is a happy ending. *nods*  Like with Clarity - she is a lil murder muffin  (in my head), but I doubt I will allow her to completely go that route so I could totally see her being consumed by the darkness and dying. I also don't see her being very trusting so saving her could be a hard thing to do.

Yesss!!! Consider me on board!  >:)

WOOT DEX ish here!!

[InnocentSynn]

This MAY have been asked already, but just wanted to be sure.  When you say that they had to rummage through the wands, what are the odds that they actually find theirs?  And how do we want to sort that out if there is a chance they find their original?

[Caela]

Man y'all were chatty while I was sleeping for the day!!! lol

Kendra, I sent you a second sheet for the other potential character idea mentioned a couple days back! Enjoy your vino and a quiet evening!

Wolfling, Clarity looks amazing!! All the walking PTSD we're all going to throw at this game! I could almost feel bad for these characters...almost.  >:)

InnocentSynn, I think we're all sort of planning whether our characters will find their wands or not. I know my plan is for my own to find her, only to find that the temperamental Unicorn hair core has died and her wand no longer functions. I think I saw someone else mention the possibility that they find their wand...but someone else already has it and how would they go about trying to get it back? Lots of ways to play it. Maybe they don't find it at all, maybe their trauma makes the wand more temperamental and less effective, maybe they find it bending more easily toward darker spells? Lots of potential for just one more trauma on top of all the others!

Halo....with those questions I can't wait to see what wicked bent your mind takes with your characters!

[Caela]

Face Claim: Danielle Campbell
Name: Guinevere Suzette Ollivander

Nickname: Gwen

Gender: Female

Age: 18 (March 20)

Sexuality: Experimental - Still figuring it out

Birthplace: Swansea, Wales

Blood Status: Half-blood
Muggle-Born Registration Number: N/A

Year: 7th - 1st time
House: Ravenclaw

Wand: 11in, Walnut, Phoenix feather core, nicely pliant, pewter handle that her mother engraved with vines and enchanted for protection
Patronus: A large Raven (this made her laugh when she first perfected the spell since it seemed a bit on the nose with her being Housed in Ravenclaw)
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Gwen is slightly above average height standing at 5'7 but is often told she seems taller because her personality can fill a room. She rarely wears heels but when she does she favors stilettos that add at least 3 inches to her height. Chestnut brown hair falls to the middle of her back in soft, thick waves and is often left free unless she's working or dueling, then it's drawn back into a tight braid so that not even a single strand blocks her vision. Green eyes greet the world with sharp intelligence and while she can be serious (and sometimes intense) they also snap with mirth and full lips are almost always quick to curve into a smile. She's considered a tattoo but doesn't have one yet as she hasn't found a design she'd want for years and she refuses to make such a decision on a mere whim. 

Personality Traits: Friendly | Intelligent | Quick to laugh | Loyal | Vengeful if crossed or someone she cares for is hurt | Slow to anger | Patient (mostly) | Adventurous | Trustworthy | Hardworking | Slightly arrogant of her talents

Personal History: Gwen was the only child of Sian and Thomas Ollivander. Both Half-bloods who initially met in their time at Hogwarts (both were in Ravenclaw) but who didn't actually start seeing each other romantically until after school when they both returned to their families in Wales. Sian had become a primary school teacher who kept an eye out for budding talents among her Muggle students, while Thomas had a small wand repair shop. Unlike his famous father, Thomas didn't make wands but he became rather well known locally for the quality of his repair-work and the small family was comfortable and happy.

Many weekends were spent with Gwen's grandmother, Agnes Ollivander, listening to stories, working in her garden, and learning magical basics of potion-making and herblore. Agnes ran a small apothecary out of her home, brewing potions and spelling minor medicinal remedies for those in the magical community in the area. She also told Gwen about her Grandfather and there as always such a sadness in her voice that young Gwen was amazed to learn, that the man was still alive. She'd assumed her Grandmother's longing for her lost husband was due to him dying, not simply that his work meant more to him than anything else.

At 11, meeting her Grandfather for the first time when she stepped foot in his shop to buy her own first one, she was surprised by what she encountered. As a young girl she'd pictured the man who made her beloved Grandmother so sad must be some sort of villain but what she found was a man of genius, consumed by the brilliance of his one extraordinary passion. Standing quietly while he started grabbing boxes (he'd heard the bell above his door but not looked to see who'd entered) she waited for him to really see her, and found some small satisfaction in the shock that spread across his face as he took in her features.

Except for the green eyes she'd gotten from her father, and a few extra inches from her mother (her Grandmother was a petite 5'2) young Gwen was the spitting image of her Grandmother and it was clear her Grandfather knew who she was at just a glance. Once he recovered himself, he put down the boxes he was hold and moved easily through the clutter of his shop, pulling out a box and muttering something that sounded like, "So this is who you were for," to the wand inside.

The walnut wand, with it's phoenix core, proved to be the perfect match for the bright young witch. Her Grandfather offered to write to her if she'd allow and, at the encouragement of her parents and her Grandmother, they started a surprisingly lively correspondence...if one didn't mind hearing all about the minute details of wandlore and the strange experiments her Grandfather was performing as he sought to create the perfect wand.

Gwen enjoyed all of it. She seemed to have the same propensity for wandlore that her Grandfather did and enjoyed writing him about her own studies about it in the Hogwart's Library. Learning where her Grandfather, and the published works on the matter, differed was always interesting and often the responses from him when she asked questions about them were so stridently written that she could hear his voice coming from the page as clearly as if he'd sent a Howler!

As her years at school rolled by, and fear of what was happening outside of it (not to mention inside of it) grew, letters from her parents and grandparents helped to keep Gwen grounded. Her parents had raised her with a strong sense of right and wrong and to never let fear overcome her sense of compassion. She did what she could, when she could. Things like spending extra time in the greenhouses to help harvest herbs for the infirmary, comforting younger students when classes became scary, helping other Housemates with their studies...all to keep some sense of normalcy for those around her. She couldn't stop what was happening, but she could try to shine some light in the dark,

And then things got worse for everyone. People outside were disappearing, rumors flew like mad...and letters from her parents and her grandmother stopped coming. Had they been taken by the Ministry on trumped up charges? Gone into hiding? Worse? Evening Ollivander didn't know...and then his letters stopped too.

Only after the Battle of Hogwarts did she find out the truth. Her parents, and grandmother, had been taken by a group of Death Eaters who found out that her family had been helping Muggleborns flee the country. Her mother's position as a teacher in a Muggle school and placed her uniquely well to spot magical talent early and she'd made a point of arranging "school trips" to shuffle children (and their families) out to the countryside where they were less likely to be noticed, or to port cities where they could flee Britain entirely. Unfortunately a Death Eater took notice and realized that often times there were children on these trips that weren't a part of her school, and who didn't return with the rest of the class.

Tortured with the Crutiatis curse (an attempt to extract information on who else was helping them) her grandmother and father both suffered heart attacks and her mother's mind simply snapped. The doctors at St. Mungos vowed to keep her comfortable but doubted she'd ever speak, or do much other than stare out the window in her room, again. 

Her grandfather was taken as well, his shop, and the vast majority of his inventory, utterly destroyed. He was going to have to restart his life's work from scratch but he was alive (she had no idea how she was ever going to repay Harry and his friends for that) and all either of them had left was each other. She spent the summer staying with him and did what her grandmother hadn't been able to do so long ago...she threw herself into his passion alongside him. Days spent helping him organize cores and wood, learning his methods (though it would be years before she'd be able to make a wand nearly as good as his) and practicing wandmaking from his leftovers. Nothing she made was worth selling yet. At best they'd produce a couple of joke bangs or flashes of light, but she was learning and each attempt improved on the last. Ollivander promised that if she kept applying herself she'd, eventually, produce wands good enough to be sold in his shop.   

Family: Garrick Ollivander | Paternal Grandfather | Wandmaker | Half-blood
Agnes Ollivander | Paternal Grandmother | Home Apothecary | Pure-blood | Deceased
Thomas Ollivander | Father | Wand Repair | Half-blood | Deceased
Sian Ollivander | Mother | Teacher | Muggle-born | Alive but in a vegetative state in St. Mungos

Likes: Almost anything outdoors | Wandmaking | Music | Time with friends | Reading | Writing (she writes poetry to help clear her mind) | Helping younger students
Dislikes: The Ministry (their cover ups hurt SO. MANY. PEOPLE.) | Cruel people | Being cooped up with nothing to do | Nightmares of losing her grandfather | Spiders | Snakes | Most vegetables
Strength: She's already found her passion in life, she's going to follow in her Grandfather's footsteps and be a wandmaker...and he says she shows a talent for it which is the highest praise from old Ollivander!
Weakness: Having already lost so much of her family, her worst fear is losing her Grandfather and being utterly alone

On's and Off's: Gwen is young and still learning what she does and doesn't like. With the war happening there hasn't been much time, or inclination to explore but she knows she likes time to get to know someone (their mind as well as their body), she likes finding those small places that no one else knows a partner enjoys being caressed and watching the passion build in them. She enjoys trying new things and laughing if they don't go exactly to plan.

Things that are absolute turn-offs for her include: bathroom play, permanent marking (a few scratches or bite marks are fun though!), humiliation, and hardcore BDSM (lighter, more playful bondage and games are fine for her, just plot accordingly and most things can be talked out!)

Extra: For any additional information you want to include, please put that here.

Caela, she's splendid!!

Good morning all, another fabulous character has been approved. Am still waking up, have stuffz to do but will be back on again later to reply to questions etc. I am on my phone, fat thumbs and tiny keyboard does not mix well. Lol Sleep well those who are going to bed and rise and shine to those getting up :D

[Caela]

Caela, she's splendid!!

Thank you! I wanted someone who wasn't Muggle-born but also had had to deal with loss because of the war at the same time. I thought making her someone learning wandmaking (cause gods more of them are gonna be needed!) made sense as well and when I went looking at Ollivander's background there's all sorts of professional information about the man but not much at all that's personal so I thought who better for her to start learning from than Grandpa?  :D Kendra was sweet and let me get away with it lol.

I am so hyped for an HP-themed game, but the premise... is dark, and I think that's just nifty.

@InnocentSynn - exactly what Caela said in her post. Couldn't have put it any better.

@Caela - thanks for that  :-)

Think I am just about finished with one of my characters, my fingers are gone blue from the cold. I seriously need to turn the heating up.

Do we have any amazing creators with photo editing type skills in the event that people want snazzy game avatars or the game needs buttons or banners?!
I know I used to do it all myself back in the day, but I no longer have photoshop or the patience for photo editing, so if this is something your creative juices want to get into, please let me know <3

1 other thing, I only spotted it really doing up my own character sheet.
For the OWL subject list - there are the mandatory 7 that every student has to do and then students choose 2 electives from the rest or as many as they like. Only Hermione and about 3 others ever took on the full 12. A time turner is needed to actually do it  ;D

So
Herbology | Transfiguration | Charms | DADA | Potions | Astonomy | History of Magic |  -- are all mandatory

Ancient Runes | Divination | Arithmancy | Care of Magical Creatures | Muggle Studies | -- are all elective

Aeryn will have some choice things to say (until she gets a working wand, then she'll let her magic talk) to any pureblood brats. -nodsnodsnods-

I also suspect some midnight sneaking into the Restricted section to delve into Wandless Magic will happen.

Face Claim: Ross Lynch
Name: Johnathon Trahaearan Miracle

Nickname:None as yet

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Sexuality: Hetero

Birthplace: Wrexham, Wales

Blood Status: Muggle-born
Muggle-Born Registration Number: 1919 MIR/MB
Year: Repeat
House: Slytherin

Wand: Confiscated
Patronus: Swarm of Ants – Has not successfully called upon his patronus since imprisonment and his father’s death.
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Johnathon has a mop of shaggy blonde hair that is kindof, mostly, sortof groomed. Johnathon is fit.  Moreso out of necessity from his time spent in Azkaban.  There wasn’t an abundance of things to do aside from exercise, plan revenge and try to not be tortured or killed.  Turns out Johnathon excelled at exercise. He has a tattoo on the back of his neck of his MBR#.

Personality Traits: Johnathon is quiet, contemplative and calculating.  He was that before the MBRC and the time spent in Azkaban has honed those aspects of his personality to a razor’s edge.  Being a member of Slytherin while muggle-born wasn’t an easy path to walk even before the MBRC.  He was accustomed to being targeted for ridicule or abuse and over the years a propensity for fighting back both with fists and spells relegated him primarily to a regimen of being isolated from or ignored by his fellow Slytherin.  Johnathon was ambitious before.  He needed to be in order to put up with Slytherin House and the internal politicking of Hogwarts.  His ambition has taken on a more ruthless path based off of his time spent in Azkaban.

Personal History: A “mud  blood” chosen for Slytherin was never going to be an ideal situation but Johnathon did his level best to do so.  Quiet but fierce when cornered or pushed past his tolerances, in time Slytherin House members knew that he was a lone wolf type at best and someone to be avoided or ignored at worst.
It worked for Johnathon.  He focused on classes as well as his passion for music and gave quidditch a good crack.  Preferring the position of beater.
When the MBRC came fully into power and Hogwarts turned upside down, Johnathon was one of the students that had been selected by other, more unkind members of Slytherin house to be a test subject for practicing their Cruciatus Curse upon.  There were times where Johnathon had felt as though it would have been better if they had killed him.  He’s processed those feelings in his opinion.  Instead he let it fuel a hunger to payback Crabbe, Goyle and the five other Slytherin and one Ravenclaw student who practiced their curses on him.  So much so that Johnathon’s last day at Hogwarts involved him catching Crabbe unaware and unprepared in the baths and Johnathon nearly choked Crabbe to death.
Of course, Johnathon was stopped by the Headmaster himself and saved Crabbe to an untimely but possibly deserved fate.  Johnathon was quickly processed and found himself in Azkaban in a handful of hours.
His time spent at Azkaban, after the dramatically steep learning curve was; in his opinion better than his last year at Hogwarts.  It was predictable.  Yes, there was a good deal of danger but once you had a grip on your surroundings at Azkaban and you were able to avoid the fiends, it wasn’t…terrible?  Johnathon took the old adage of, “You don’t have to be able to outrun the bear.  You just have to be able to outrun the slowest person also running with you.” and used it to maximum efficacy.  He’d set up other, weaker, more susceptible inmates to be the targets of the guards and sick monsters that would “visit” the prison and take their time torturing inmates.
His father after a great deal of appealing to the governing bodies for Johnathon’s release took matters into his own hands and tried to break Johnathon out of Azkaban.  It didn’t go well for Johnathon’s father and that in turn resulted in a month of torture and punishment for Johnathon of which regular images of his treatment was sent to his mother who was not just grieving the loss of her son’s freedom but also the loss of her husband’s life.

Family:
Cecily Millward Miracle – Mother – 49 years old
Dafydd Miracle – Father – 51 years old - Deceased

Likes: Being a voracious reader. (He’s read Count of Monte Cristo more times than he could count) / Playing the guitar / Singing / Women in skirts / Bathing (after his time in Azkaban, he relishes feeling clean) / Eating (Again, Azkaban has given him a profound appreciation of food)

Dislikes: His mandatory weekly therapy sessions at Hogwarts / Most members of House Slytherin / Most Pure Bloods / Government organization / Governing bodies|organizations

Strength: Paying attention to detail
Weakness: Claustrophobic.  Being bound and unable to move.

Rainy - whenever I am stuck for a name, I sometimes trawl through baby name sites / unusual baby name sites lol or a think of 2 traits they may have and google names with those meanings to see what pops up. Sometimes even name generators help - often just to spark the imagination. Hope some of that helps.

Also--stare at my Samson in wonder and delight...

Face Claim: Brian Whittaker
Name: Samson Josiah Johnson-Prewett

Nickname: Sam

Gender: Masculine

Age: 19

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Birthplace: Llanrwst, Conwy in Wales

Blood Status: Half-blood
Muggle-Born Registration Number: none

Year: Repeating 7th year
House: Ravenclaw

Wand: Hawthorn wood with a unicorn hair core, 13 ¾ and reasonably supple flexibility
Patronus: Dolphin
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Sam has a lithe, tightly muscled frame and stands at just a smidge under 6 feet in height. His gaze fluctuates through a variety of colors-from darkest brown to bright green-gray due to photosensitivity though most would just call it having true hazel eyes.  His form hosts one tat on his nape, which is simply the word HALFBLOOD in Futharken Runes and looks like this. When he was younger (and happier) Sam kept a headful of dark curls. Since his sixth year, the young man has opted for a low-cut fade. A few scars mar his form- most notably a cut the length of his thigh on his left leg gained during the battle of Hogwarts.

Personality Traits:

• Has been told he's Abrasive and quick with a put-down, or cutting remark. He doesn't give a shit.
• Sam is highly Athletic and enjoys physicality more than most. It calms his mind.
• Due to his love of learning, Samson is a more than Capable Healer though his bedside manner leaves much to be desired.
• He is not Cynical; he just knows that people will always serve their own best interests, as a rule.
• He is Intelligent. It is what is.
• What do you mean he could be considered Moody? Shut up!
• Rage-Filled thanks to the past few years and utterly self-explanatory.
• Samson loves to learn and involves himself in plenty of Scholarly pursuits.

Personal History: Samson is the youngest Johnson-Prewett child born August 29th of 1980 during a thunderstorm. His mother, a healer working through St Mungos, decided on an at-home birth due to the Death Eaters, fighting, and her own ancestry (Muggleborn). Samson grew up surrounded by family and love, a bright and sweet child, who attended Ysgol Porth y Felin during his formative years before receiving his Hogwarts letter just before his 11th birthday.

Sorted into Ravenclaw, the young man was quiet, kind, and intelligent, gifted at diffusing tense situations with a teasing quip or a well-placed punch. He tried out for the Quidditch team in his third year at his father's behest and became an alternate Beater- noted for his ease in flying, quick reaction times, and wicked aim though he would not step up to the spot officially until his fifth year.

His big sister was killed during the summer of 1995 - a skirmish of some sort that the Ministry NEVER admitted to. This caused the family to turn away from the MoM and most of the wizarding world as they sought to handle their grief and rage via therapy and physical altercations. Her death was the catalyst for Sam cutting his hair, changing his persona, and diving deeper into potions and healing. It was also the main reason Sam chose to join the DA under Harry Potter's tutelage in his fifth year. Then he began to suffer debilitating dreams and night terrors. and decided against remaining with the group when classes resumed after Christmas break.

By the time Albus Dumbledore was killed at the end of Sam's sixth year, the young man had become much quieter, withdrawn, quick to anger, and quicker to lash out.  Some of this was due to the loss of his sister but was compounded by the death of his Father in the fall of 1997. By what should have been his seventh year, Sam was involved in not only healer training under Madame Pomfrey (when he could get away with it) but was also responsible for trying to help the kids who had withdrawn from classes and were hiding out in the RoR.

In solidarity with the captured and hiding muggle-born students, Sam got his nape tattoo and made it a point to show it off in class. He learned to make (and hide) healing potions of various strengths, was punished for NOT torturing the smaller kids, and was punished for NOT showing proper respect to the Carrows twins. With each punishment, his rage grew. With every child tortured, his anger lingered, so by the time the Battle of Hogwarts occurred, he was a ball of ferocity, taking down anyone he perceived as an enemy with curses and jinxes that were darker than most and being wholly responsible for the death of three Snatchers and a low-level thug like Death Eater.

He has never felt any remorse.

Due to the choppy nature of what would have been his seventh year, Sam was given a chance to come back and retake it. He has chosen to do so since he needs his NEWTS to qualify for healer training and because he would like to finish his SEER training. However, he suffers from nightmares and hand tremors.  This means that, for now,  his magic is not fully controlled. He has also learned that his Uncle is now considered to be MIA, and no one at the Ministry seems keen to offer any help.

Also, if and when you decide that you wanna open it up for some Professors? I have a half-blood Shacklebolt Arithmancy teacher hiding else where named Micah...*nods, nods*

I will open it up but I usually wait until the train ride is complete and they start showing up for the Sorting. That way people get invested into their students and don't just drop them to only play professors.
Professor Postings - see way ahead :P
there are 10 postings open, but I will also be on the look out for heads of house, prefects etc :D

Activity in game will be rewarded  >:) O:)

Rainy - whenever I am stuck for a name, I sometimes trawl through baby name sites / unusual baby name sites lol or a think of 2 traits they may have and google names with those meanings to see what pops up. Sometimes even name generators help - often just to spark the imagination. Hope some of that helps.

Haha, I did exactly this! I have a name and few other basic stuff, just gotta get the "meat" of the character done now.

Personality Traits:

• Highly focused when she's into her work - she loses track of time when working on projects

• Generally Friendly and affectionate once you get to know her. Be warned, she's a hugger 
• Somewhat Whimsical - occasionally seems a bit flighty and flaky as her mind drifts to other things

• Awkwardly straightforward at times and painfully shy at others. She really doesn't get social queues sometimes
• Clumsy - she has terrible sense of balance and hand eye coordination 

Brief History:
Muggle born, Emma's Mother used to be a cook at a diner. But now that Emma has a few years under her belt at Hogwarts she's helped her mother start up her own bakery & catering business which has become very successful.

Emma was born in London, England. She's never known her father but he most certainly was not a wizard. What he was, was a lot of fun. Or at least that's what her mother always tells her. Her mother met him at a club and they hooked up a couple times but she never got his last name. She thinks he might have been in a band but she can't quite remember because they were always pretty intoxicated at the time. She never saw him again.

Emma wants to become an a sort of magical engineer and admires the creations of early muggle-inventors. Her life goal is to bring muggle devices to the magical world. When she was young there was a few accidental magical machine interactions that caught the attention of the magic world. This is how she was brought into it and received her invitation to Hogwarts. They soon gave her a tutor to help get things under control. Her mother believes (the invitation/scholarship is to a private boarding school.) Her mother is very proud of her but misses her a lot every year when she's gone.

Wizarding War... Emma tried to stay home but classes were mandatory. She signed their papers and followed the rules. Emma isn't a rebel by nature and she is certainly not a fighter. Or at least she likes to think that she's not, however during the troubles she made several little inventions to help people that were far more rebellious than she was. One of her personal favorite inventions was a pocket watch that could be whispered into and it would save "voice mail" that could be handed off to someone else. The only way to retrieve the message was to know what exact time to set the watch too, down to the second hand. Her second favorite invention was a tiny mechanical mouse that was like a motion detector - set it down a hall and if someone walks by it will scurry through the mouse holes and come to tell you someone is approaching (little flashing red eyes).

Emma was never caught and never got in trouble during the troubles, she was more the type to invent stuff to help out rather than actually use the stuff. The politics and prejudice that occurred were things that she never understood or wanted any part of and she resents anyone pointing out the differences between muggle, mud-blood, or pure-blood. On principle, she does everything she can to avoid using those terms at all.

During the times of all the troubles, Emma had hid out in the Room of Requirement with many of the others and avoided the round ups. Following Neville's lead she assisted with the children mostly. While there she used her little mechanical mouse to help the others evade and detect those that were hunting for them. As someone that is adverse to fighting, she avoided conflict until the final battle. Even then she opted to stay at the rear and tend to wounded by using healing spells, potions, and charms. Sometimes at night she lays awake, unable to sleep, and can see the empty dead stare of her fellow students from the shadows. No nightlight can hold back the dark where her deepest fears have always hidden, in the blackness the eyes are always watching.

Family: (Muggles all the way down)
Mother - Linda Pussett - 42 - originally from Venezuela - Owns a Bakery/Catering-Business
Father - (unknown aka random hookup her mother had in her wild youth but definitely a muggle)
Siblings - (none that she is aware of but her dad was a musician so his seed is probably spread far and wide)

Likes:

• Sticky buns (specifically caramel pecan, made by her mom) 
• Licorice (she's often seen with a piece of licorice hanging out of her mouth, she likes most flavors) 
• Baking - although she leaves the kitchen in a disaster (much to her mother's consternation)
• Sculpting (and creating golems, sometimes nude statues of her classmates) 
• Building mechanical contraptions (Piertotum Locomotor) - enchanting & charming them. (she's a marvelous inventor) 

Dislikes:

• Wool Clothing - it's scratchy 
• Meat - she doesn't eat anything with a face but she does like dairy products 
• Candies that don't taste like Candy - Sour or other weird flavors, Why do people eat those things?   
• Movie theaters - they are dark (see below) 

Strength: Building magically imbued contraptions! (think magical powered toaster)
Weakness: Fear of the Dark, being blind folded or trapped in a room in total darkness.

Riann was approved and I was nudged to share her here as well!

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Face Claim: Amandla Stenberg
Name: Riann Blackwell
Nickname: Ri, Ann, or Ri-Ri* ^{(*reserved for very close people)}

Gender: cis-female

Age: 19 (Born: March 5th, 1980)

Sexuality: Graysexual / Panromantic

Birthplace: Liverpool, England

Blood Status: Muggleborn
Muggle-Born Registration Number: (GM will issue this to you if required).

Year: 7th year - first time
House: Ravenclaw

Wand: Confiscated - Dragon Heartstring, Vine Wood, 11 inches, and Whippy
Patronus: Cheetah
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Riann is a short petite witch, standing at 5 ft. 3 in. (160 cm.) with an athletic build. She has brown eyes, and her hair is naturally black, but she often wears colored extensions and different colored wigs to change up her styles; that was before she went into hiding. Riann has a burn scar on the upper right side of her back. Tattoo of the registration number on her neck. None other than that one yet.

Personality Traits:

♛ Responsible for her work and tasks since she wants to please her family.
♛ Despite her best efforts, she is cynical about her future.
♛ When animals are nearby, Riann becomes compassionate since they are creatures untroubled by prejudices related to blood status.
♛ Riann is unforgiving of the events that led to her imprisonment, including those that supported Voldemort, Umbridge, and other blood purists.
♛ Despite medicine and therapy, Riann still has an obsessive compulsion to stay clean; before Azkaban, she didn't care about getting dirty.

Personal History:
A Timeline
♚ 1980: Riann was born.
♚ 1991: Accepted to Hogwarts.
♚ 1991: Sorted into Ravenclaw.
♚ 1997: Summertime--went into hiding with their brother and mother after a warning from her father. Their father remained working. Brother and mother were still in hiding.
♚ 1997: Wintertime--Riann was caught by Snatchers and sent to Azkaban.
♚ 1998: Wintertime--Her father went missing.
♚ 1998: Released from Azkaban after the Battle of Hogwarts.
♚ 1998: Returned to her ruined home to find out her father went missing while she was in Azkaban.
♚ 1999: Summertime--Returning to Hogwarts to start her 7th year a year late.

Riann was born to Peter and Rhiannon Blackwell in the winter of 1980. Her mother was a secondary teacher at a muggle school, and her father worked as an Archivist at the Ministry of Magic. Riann also has an older brother named Rick, who was always holed up in his room, writing about anything and everything. Riann was a wild child, often found running around in the neighborhood searching for animals as a child to watch or play with. Her father wondered if Riann would show magical aptitude, as her brother did at an earlier age. It wasn't until Riann was nine years old that she began to summon about a dozen different animals into their backyard one afternoon. Riann was then able to join her brother at Hogwarts at age 11 but was sorted into Ravenclaw of all Houses. Rick was sorted into Hufflepuff but wanted to be a Ravenclaw. So he was upset when Riann--the wild child and animal lover was sorted into Ravenclaw.

During the summer of 1997, Riann's family went into hiding, excluding her father (he kept working and secretly sent money to his family). Still, by wintertime, one afternoon when Riann left their small campgrounds to go exploring--she was snatched and taken to Azkaban after having everything stripped away from her and a number tattooed to the back of her neck. Separated from her family, Riann didn't even know that her father had gone missing while she was a prisoner in Azkaban. Supposedly he was trying to find a way to get her out of prison, but the family has not heard from him since the winter of 1998. Her brother Rick assumes he was murdered after trying to find a way to get Riann out of prison.

Riann's time in prison was not... good. She didn't like the crowded room, the shit bucket, or the water bucket; the other prisoners often took more than their fair share of drinks. She gave up on trying to get everyone to share equally. She gave up on trying to take care of her hair--in fact; she asked the guards to shave it all off her second month inside. They thought she was trying to egg them on, but when she didn't wail or cry during the process, they realized she was serious about getting rid of it. Some of the guards tried to mess with her, harm her, call her names--but Riann often didn't react, instead growing reserved and impassive, which helped her in the long run. They didn't bother fucking with her too often since she wasn't good entertainment... for the most part.

Her time in Azkaban was a few months, but Riann was still impacted greatly. Her usual cheerful personality turned cynical and sour. After her return to her ruined home, Riann became more reclusive. She hardly left her room other than to shower or bathe (three times a day at first, but she managed to cut it down to two later on). Riann became obsessed with cleanliness, often washing her hands so much that the skin became so dry it cracked. When it came time to return to Hogwarts, she got a medical excuse to remain at home, recovering from her time in Azkaban. Her brother returned to work, while her mother only worked part-time as a supply teacher so Rhiannon could focus on helping Riann heal. Riann would go to therapy meetings and even was prescribed medicine for her obsessions and depressive states.

Now, in the summer of 1999, Riann is heading back to Hogwarts to finish her schooling--due to her mother pleading with her. Riann would rather forget about everything, but she loves her mother and father enough to try and return. But Riann is cynical and is sure she'll flunk out despite their wishes. Perhaps she might find something that breathes some life... and magic back into her veins.

Face Claim: India Love
Name: Chinara Kana

Nickname: Chi

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Sexuality: Heterosexual but curious >.>

Birthplace: Lagos, Nigeria | London, UK (Dual Citizenship) 

Blood Status: Pure-Blood
Muggle-Born Registration Number: Not Applicable

Year: Seventh
House: Hufflepuff

Wand: 8" Hawthorn with Kneazle whisker
Patronus: Blanket octopus
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Chi stands at about 5'6 and has a curvy figure. Her natural eye color is brown, but she often charms them to appear other colors. She's often found in clothes that show off her toned, ink-adorned figure. She enhances her natural assets with a variety of wigs, runway-inspired make-up, and nails painted in flamboyant colors.

Personality Traits: Argumentative (her first word was why), Obedient (despite her smart mouth, she usually falls in line for those in positions of authority after much pouting/complaining/whining), Flashy (feels naked without excess), Selective Memory (who wants to dwell in the past, especially if it was ugly), Great Pretender (everything's great!)

Before He-Who-Needed-To-Sit-The-Fuck-Down ruined the world, Chi enjoyed a comfortable spot in her family, wizarding society, and amongst her friends. Thanks to her ability to pass her classes (not ace but pass), her parents gave her free reign. She made friends easily regardless of their blood status, somehow juggling her extreme friends with more liberal ones. Her laidback personality often surprised people to discover she came from a family known for their exclusive, hoity-toity parties and prominence in the MoM. Most people regarded her as being something of a party girl. The popular chick who wasn't too stuck in the clouds to notice those beneath her.

Personal History:

• Chi's parents are a love match. Her mother, Clara, had been vacationing in Lagos with her family when she met Sam. What should have been a summer fling became an obsession as the two kept in contact despite their parents' disapproval. Clara moved to Lagos after graduating from Hogwarts and married Sam. Soon afterward, they had Chi, the first of their two children.
• When Mom's parents became ill and unable to live alone, Chi's mom convinced (read: begged) her husband to move back to her hometown. It took a lot of moving through red tape, but eventually, they settled in London. Chi and her sibling weren't too thrilled about the move. Though they enjoyed their vacations with their grandparents, they didn't necessarily want to live with them 24/7 due to their rigid personalities.
• Sam made connections and friendships thanks to his position in the ministry, while their mother ensured their children were integrated well into society, regardless of blood status. They visited muggle destinations around the city as often as they visited magical ones. Their house also held the latest technology and magical inventions.
• Eventually, the time came for Chi to take the first step towards independence by enrolling in Hogwarts. Her mother and her family were generational Ravenclaws, so there was some expectation for her to be sorted into the same house. Her mother was supportive when the sorting hat put her in Hufflepuff, but her grandparents nearly shat a brick. They sent an owl to the Headmistress with demands for another attempt, but they were denied.
• During her school years as a Puff, Chi enjoyed herself immensely. She surrounded herself with fun friends who lived for laughter and chaos. She also ended up in a pretty serious relationship with Jeff (a half-blood) before the end of her first year. She experienced her share of detentions and moments of glory by securing many house points. People might not love her, but she was generally well-liked. In her fourth year, Jeff proposed to her despite their rough patch, thanks to jealous people spreading rumors about her cheating.
• In her fifth year, when the world started to catch fire, her younger sister started to attend Hogwarts. Unlike her, Chiasoka was sorted into Ravenclaw. The differences between the siblings became more apparent without the supervision of their parents. Chiasoka revealed herself to be as hateful as their grandparents. Chi often had to step between her sister and those on the opposite end of her wand.
• When Voldemort and his goons took control, Chi expected her parents to take a stand against him. Like the Weasleys. Her mother and father dragged their heels as long as possible, trying to stay neutral. But when the time came to pick a side, they chose safety. Chi was instructed to cut contact with her friends and boyfriend because her parents intended to turn in any runaways.
• Jeff sent her a secret correspondence and basically begged Chi to leave home and go on the run with him. She sent nothing back except his engagement ring. He was captured and imprisoned in Azkaban shortly afterward.
• Even though life returned to normal, Chi was resistant when her parents mentioned returning to Hogwarts. Her friendship groups were pretty much shattered, and she rather not spend her time in what was likely going to be a gloomy space. No amount of screaming or fighting could convince her parents otherwise, as they viewed missing school as an admission of guilt.

Family:

Likes: Vacations, An Adoring Crowd, Public Shows of Loyalty,
Dislikes: Mopping, Crying, Sour Faces,
Strength: Is actually pretty good at charmwork and transfiguration. Also has a good eye for potential and sees beauty in what others might consider trash.
Weakness: Being ostracized from her family.

On's and Off's: Although rumors paint a hedonistic image of Chi, she's only been with one person, her ex-boyfriend, Jeff. Unfortunately, they broke up after her family sided with Dipshit. She's pretty torn up about it (trying to hide it) and is hoping for a reconciliation. Her experience with him was pretty vanilla.

Face Claim: Tashi Rodriguez
Name: Carmelita Violente Osorio-Lupton

Nickname: Violet

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Sexuality: Lesbian

Birthplace: Potternewton Hall, Leeds

Blood Status: Muggle-born
Muggle-Born Registration Number: 0021 - OSO/MB

Year: Repeating 7th
House: Hufflepuff

Wand: 8-7/8” Elm with a Dragon Heartstring Core – Confiscated
Patronus: Iberian Lynx - Cannot Conjure Anymore
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Carmelita stands 5’6”. While she has recovered from the malnourishment she suffered in Azkaban seems thinner than she used to and frail.  The Muggleborn identification number on the back of her neck is hidden by curly shoulder-length hair only recently regrown from the shearing she underwent when she arrived at the prison. Carmelita has a face full of freckles she only occasionally hides with make up and the sweet ghost of a smile rarely seen since she returned to school. 

Personality Traits: Sweet | Soft | Empathetic | Privileged | Self-Deluding | Scared | Jumpy | Lonely

Personal History: Carmelita was born into the world of the landed gentry and the idle rich. Her father and mother walked the line between notable and uninteresting. An aura carefully cultivated to keep them out of the paparazzi’s eye while enjoying the fruits of their birth status.

Carmelita wanted for nothing as a child and was raised by well-paid nannies and tutored by the finest private instructors. When Carmelita was eight, she attended the prestigious Cheam School until her magical ability manifested at the age of 10, and she was removed from the school over the incident. Her parents never said as much, but they must have been relieved when an owl delivered Carmelita’s invitation to Hogwarts. Carmelita’s magical occurrences stressed her parents curated social profile. Making their lives difficult. Assurances that Hogwarts was the paramount school for young witches and wizards and that they could teach Carmelita ways to control and prosper were all her Parents needed to send her off to the school.

Carmelita was wholly unprepared for what she would face at Hogwarts. She had been doted on her entire life. Servants carried her bags, laid out her clothes, and drew her bath. By nature of her station, people were falling over themselves to ensure she wanted nothing. The air of royalty swirled around her every interaction, and she was detested for it. Here she was a mud-blood. Her royal muggle blood meant nothing. In fact, it was reviled in some quarters. Thrown into a world with no touchstone or anchor had her completely unbound, and hard lessons were learned. Because of this, she struggled mightily. Her grades suffered as she suffered. Not even Muggle Studies was the oasis other muggle-borns found. She knew how to be noble. She knew how to be a young lady. She didn’t know the things taught in Muggle Studies. They were things commoners did, not Ladies.

Carmelita was an easy target for so many of her fellow students. Muggle commoners hated her because she was a member of the nobility and could take those frustrations out on her with little fear of reprisal. Purebloods mocked her mercilessly and tormented her for her blood status. Her life at Hogwarts was torment for the first few years, settling into persistent bullying and simmering distaste when she eventually shed her highbred ignorance. It was hard to imagine her life worsening, but Voldemort and the rest of his Death Eaters had other plans.

Carmelita was one of the earliest students to be rounded up and thrown into Azkaban. The Death Eaters went so far as to obliviate the memory of her from her parents’ minds. Carmelita died in an accident. That is what the family believed and what the papers said. Carmelita never knew who the girl was that they buried. An innocent muggle, most likely. The liberal use of magic and a strand of hair ripped from Carmelita’s head was all that was needed for a body double buried in the family crypt.

Carmelita was tormented at first. Her head was shaved. Her familiar tortured and killed in front of her, and she was beaten. The abuse was an everyday occurrence at first until more muggles joined her. Eventually, she was just forgotten. Carmelita survived on bugs, rainwater, and whatever she could beg from others as the nearby cells filled with muggle-borns and half-bloods.

The end of the war only brought another round of injustice. The Ministry of Magic felt it would be best to not reverse the obliviate spell on her parents. The sudden appearance of a muggle noble family’s abused and broken daughter would undoubtedly cause problems for muggle and magical relations. It was cleaner to leave them as is and move on.   Moving on was best for everyone, they told her with a kindly pat on her shoulder.

Carmelita is a ball of PTSD that started well before she was rounded up and tossed into Azkaban. She is jumpy and scared and still feels like the biggest outsider in a world that makes little sense. That said, Carmelita still tries, in her sad, fearful way, to help others, often without them knowing it. She is, by nature, kind and giving and appreciates every kindness or gift she receives because she knows it can all be taken away in an instant.

Physical Appearance: Carmelita stands 5’6”. While she has recovered from the malnourishment she suffered in Azkaban seems thinner than she used to and frail.  The Muggleborn identification number on the back of her neck is hidden by curly shoulder-length hair only recently regrown from the shearing she underwent when she arrived at the prison. Carmelita has a face full of freckles she only occasionally hides with make up and the sweet ghost of a smile rarely seen since she returned to school. 

Personality Traits: Sweet | Soft | Empathetic | Privileged | Self-Deluding | Scared | Jumpy | Lonely

Personal History: Carmelita was born into the world of the landed gentry and the idle rich. Her father and mother walked the line between notable and uninteresting. An aura carefully cultivated to keep them out of the paparazzi’s eye while enjoying the fruits of their birth status.

Carmelita wanted for nothing as a child and was raised by well-paid nannies and tutored by the finest private instructors. When Carmelita was eight, she attended the prestigious Cheam School until her magical ability manifested at the age of 10, and she was removed from the school over the incident. Her parents never said as much, but they must have been relieved when an owl delivered Carmelita’s invitation to Hogwarts. Carmelita’s magical occurrences stressed her parents curated social profile. Making their lives difficult. Assurances that Hogwarts was the paramount school for young witches and wizards and that they could teach Carmelita ways to control and prosper were all her Parents needed to send her off to the school.

Carmelita was wholly unprepared for what she would face at Hogwarts. She had been doted on her entire life. Servants carried her bags, laid out her clothes, and drew her bath. By nature of her station, people were falling over themselves to ensure she wanted nothing. The air of royalty swirled around her every interaction, and she was detested for it. Here she was a mud-blood. Her royal muggle blood meant nothing. In fact, it was reviled in some quarters. Thrown into a world with no touchstone or anchor had her completely unbound, and hard lessons were learned. Because of this, she struggled mightily. Her grades suffered as she suffered. Not even Muggle Studies was the oasis other muggle-borns found. She knew how to be noble. She knew how to be a young lady. She didn’t know the things taught in Muggle Studies. They were things commoners did, not Ladies.

Carmelita was an easy target for so many of her fellow students. Muggle commoners hated her because she was a member of the nobility and could take those frustrations out on her with little fear of reprisal. Purebloods mocked her mercilessly and tormented her for her blood status. Her life at Hogwarts was torment for the first few years, settling into persistent bullying and simmering distaste when she eventually shed her highbred ignorance. It was hard to imagine her life worsening, but Voldemort and the rest of his Death Eaters had other plans.

Carmelita was one of the earliest students to be rounded up and thrown into Azkaban. The Death Eaters went so far as to obliviate the memory of her from her parents’ minds. Carmelita died in an accident. That is what the family believed and what the papers said. Carmelita never knew who the girl was that they buried. An innocent muggle, most likely. The liberal use of magic and a strand of hair ripped from Carmelita’s head was all that was needed for a body double buried in the family crypt.

Carmelita was tormented at first. Her head was shaved. Her familiar tortured and killed in front of her, and she was beaten. The abuse was an everyday occurrence at first until more muggles joined her. Eventually, she was just forgotten. Carmelita survived on bugs, rainwater, and whatever she could beg from others as the nearby cells filled with muggle-borns and half-bloods.

The end of the war only brought another round of injustice. The Ministry of Magic felt it would be best to not reverse the obliviate spell on her parents. The sudden appearance of a muggle noble family’s abused and broken daughter would undoubtedly cause problems for muggle and magical relations. It was cleaner to leave them as is and move on.   Moving on was best for everyone, they told her with a kindly pat on her shoulder.

Carmelita is a ball of PTSD that started well before she was rounded up and tossed into Azkaban. She is jumpy and scared and still feels like the biggest outsider in a world that makes little sense. That said, Carmelita still tries, in her sad, fearful way, to help others, often without them knowing it. She is, by nature, kind and giving and appreciates every kindness or gift she receives because she knows it can all be taken away in an instant.

I love the story setup here, if there is still room for another character I can hopefully put figurative pen to paper this weekend.  So many great characters already!

[Kendra]

Thanks Wyatt, always room for one more.

[Xanatos]

Hello, I'd like to express interest if their is room for one one more, heh.

My character concept runs with the theme of the trauma inflicted by Voldemorts' rule, but with a slightly different twist if that is acceptable.

Character Concept

May or may not be male. Though could as easily end up a lass.

Unlike most others, the character escaped being captured by virtue of being a fighter and having the fortune of joining with a small band of other wizards/witches who resisted Voldemort's rule. They did a lot of hiding, but fought when opportunity struck or otherwise felt the odds were in their favor. Character suffered trauma through the horror's of war. Witnessing ugly acts, seeing death, seeing companions suffering/doing dark terrible things to survive, and character having personally killed and dealing with the burden of having taken life (even if said individuals were despicable people to begin with), as well as not knowing how many friends were dead or alive at the time, and struggling with the feeling of being suddenly lost in a world that no longer made sense.

Thus while character may not have suffered in Azkaban, the character was still heavily impacted in similar ways. Now having to mostly likely deal with PTSD and coming to terms with ending a life. Plus the banality of living a life that while now more "peaceful" is ultimately alien and distant feeling.

Face Claim: Lorena Andrea
Name: Ona Tamerlaine

Nickname: n/a

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Sexuality: Pansexual

Birthplace: Carlisle, England

Blood Status: Half-blood
Muggle-Born Registration Number: n/a

Year: 7th - Repeating
House: Slytherin

Wand: Acacia, Kelpie Hair, 12 and 3/10 inches, slightly pliable (lost in fight with Death Eaters)
Patronus: Bat
Apparation license: Yes




Physical Appearance: Ona has a gently tawny complexion with a long mane of thick, dark hair, strong, almost chiseled features, dark brown eyes and a long limbed, athletic form that stands 5’8” tall, but seems even taller given the lean and limber form she possesses.

Personality Traits:

Adventurous – She is always seeking something new, or very old, to explore, discover, experience.

Curious – Once something or someone catches her eye and interest she has to know and learn more, always more.

Accepting – Ona never truly held pre-conceived notions about others to be judgmental even if she wanted to be and always seeks variety and divergence over similarity and familiarity.

Passionate – Her passions used to always be positive and focused on things she found joy in, but Ona now knows this part of her has its dangers as well.

Reckless – This used to apply as an extreme form of her curious and adventurous nature, but she has since discovered that she can be emotionally careless and reckless in ways that might hurt others

Distrustful – A new trait that applies more to questioning her own judgment and sometimes oblivious nature that makes it hard to trust herself, much less others.

Personal History: Ona was born, or so she and the world believed, to Oskar and Helena (Barnham) Tamerlaine, her parents were themselves children of two prominent wizarding families. The Barnham’s were of English blood that could trace their line back to the Roman occupation of Britain, for generation after generation living just south of what had once been Castle Carlisle, a powerful fortification along the western edge of Hadrian’s Wall.  The Tamerlaine blood was newer to the Isle, Ona’s great grandfather having emigrated from Gibraltar later during the muggle’s colonial expansion and empire.  Well to do and aggressive social climbing upstarts, the Tamerlaines integrated themselves into ‘pureblood’ wizarding society through arranged marriages with older English lines, hence the pairing of Oskar and Helena.

Ona was the only child that the pairing produced, and that only after Helena suffered several miscarriages amid whispered talk that she may have been burdened by a curse causing infertility.  Her family’s fortune was oft gained as the result of her one of her family’s dealings with powerful creatures and practitioners of magic that was unsavory, yet profitable.  Growing up Ona knew little of this, doted on by both of her parents, but especially her Father whom she so strongly took after physically, she never questioned who she was and where she came from, instead focusing her seamlessly inexhaustible energy into exploring the old Wall, the woods, and seaside nearby, ancient ruins and natural wonders each offering an irresistible challenge to explore.

Her letter from Hogwarts was celebrated with a magical social event that Ona did her best not to be at the center of, never seeking the social attention and status that her extended family craved.  Her parents seemed oddly worried and talked to her often about the Sorting Hat being finnicky at times and not to worry about which House she was placed into. Ona thought them silly and nervous as she was ever certain that like all of her living relatives she would indeed become a Slytherin.  Usually fearless almost to her own detriment, during the sorting ceremony Ona thought she heard the Sorting Hat mutter something about Hufflepuff, which shocked and frightened her to the point that she began quietly chanting ‘Slytherin’ and true to her hopes, moments later Ona was joining Slytherin House.

Ona made friends, not a large or prominent group, just people who seemed to share her passions and interests in things like quidditch, at which she excelled as a beater, and exploring and seeking out lore and history and magical creatures that were everywhere to be found if one looked relentlessly enough.  She paid far too little attention to political things or whispers of the Dark Lord returning, cared nothing about blood status of herself or the friends with whom she studied and adventured,  Ona’s insatiable curiosity and thirst for adventure landed her in trouble at times, but overall she gained Slytherin House far more points than she caused it to lose.

She barely noticed those obnoxious sorts in her House, the ones that crowed out their family name and accolades at every turn, that derided her, most often from a safe distance and behind her back, at being a “Huff in Slytherin scales.”  Even as the world begin falling into turmoil, with war on the horizon or already begun and massive changes at school and in the world, Wizarding and muggle worlds alike, her only concern was for her friends in other Houses and how worried they were about their families and selves…until her own world crashed down and apart with a horrible quickness.

Called home and allowed to leave emergently early in her seventh year, a shaking Ona arrived just after her Mother passed, victim of a tragic accident, a true accident, not the feigned catastrophes that befell muggle borns everywhere.  Fragile, gentle and elegantly beautiful, Helena’s love of horses and riding was also her undoing.  Torn to pieces by grief, Ona tried to find solace knowing her Mother passing doing what she loved…and in seeking that solace she spent time with her Mother’s things just before heading back to Hogwarts, and there, hidden in the false bottom of a drawer, she found it.  The Diary.  Not some dark magic filled tome like the Diary of Tom Riddle, but more painful and destructive to Ona alone, because it held the raw truth and bitter lies that her entire life was built upon.

Ona was a secret, or so her Mother wrote in that diary Ona was never meant to see, a secret treasured by her Mother and a creature who existed only because of her Father’s romantic transgressions.  Ona discovered that she was the bastard child of Oskar and a muggle identified only as ‘Vanna’ in that diary. Ona discovered she came to be as the result of an illicit affair and how all of that had been covered up and her biological Mother’s memories just after being Ona was born, and how the entire wizarding world, and Ona herself, were deceived into believing she was the pureblood child of Oskar and Helena Tamerlaine…not a half-blood bastard with a birth Mother who no longer remembered Ona even existed.

Without reading the full story Helena had written in her dairy, Ona sent a hastily scrawled bunch of words and thoughts, some accurate, many far from so, onto a scroll and ill-advisedly sent it off via owl to a ‘friend’ back at Hogwarts.  Whether the friend spilt the secret of Ona that she no longer cared to keep anyway, or more likely the owl was intercepted as so many were in those days didn’t matter.  The message was discovered and damage done because of Ona’s careless, blind anger, that much was undeniable.

The next day, just after dawn, six Death Eaters arrived, quietly and unseen at first, arriving even as Ona screamed hateful things at her Father on the expansive lawn near her home.  No matter how many times he tried to calm her, to get her to listen, to explain, Ona would no allow it.  With a hastily filled bag of things over her shoulder and intending to run away to no place in particular, she had actually drawn her wand threateningly against her Father just as the first of the them attacked.  Muggle borns were being rounded up en masse everywhere, but this was different.  Ona was a living crime worse than simply having muggle blood running in her veins, she was a crack in the obsidian armor of blood purity, a fraud and interloper and now a suspected agent of the Resistance.  Not based on anything she had done, but simply because her tainted-blood secret had now been spilled into the open and she was guilty of simply existing, at least until that could be remedied.

A vicious and swift duel ensued, with Ona reacting more on instinct than thought and emotion, she fought alongside her Father who had drawn his own wand and immediately defended her.  Very skilled with charms and portal magic, Oskar was far from an accomplished duelist and the last act Ona saw and felt him perform was turning his wand on her as the Death Eaters closed in, his spell hitting her just as his own life was ended by the killing curse. That last moment frozen forever in her mind’s eye.  She found herself cast and teleported into a hot and sunny countryside she did not recognize, her own wand lost in the battle or the teleport, she was never sure which. 

Ona lived out the rest of the war against Voldemort in exile in a small seaport in Portugal where her Father had teleported her to.  Refugees arrived there daily, secreted aboard everything from fanciful pleasure yachts to grimy fishing trawlers or arriving at a concealed portkey powered by the same magic Ona’s Father used to save her life.  From the day her Father died until the fall of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, she stayed there working as part of an underground railroad of sorts for muggle borns and others escaping the horrors of the war.  Since the end of the war and the fall of the Dark Lord, Ona returned to find her former home in ruins, blackened and broken, the Tamerlaine family line wiped out, save for herself, with the remaining Barnham family having disowned her for political cover.

Ona is now returning to school, trying to discover the truth of her identity, her life, and to deal with the deep guilt she now possesses after learning the full story of how her Father loved both of her Mothers and Ona deeply.  He was a flawed, complicated man, a Slytherin quietly helping muggle borns escape capture, or worse, and one pushed into an arranged, if very amicable marriage by his overbearing parents. 

Ona’s Tamerlaine grandparents were the ones who pulled every string in covering up the scandal that Ona could have been when she was conceived and born into the world.  Their manipulations were horrible and brilliant at once, creating their lie of who Ona was supposed to be and wiping away the rest. The life Ona had lived, loved and encouraged to be herself by the only parents she ever knew was a happy one, but all of that, like her birth Mother, is gone now.  Ona has never shed a single tear for the loss of her grandparents but knows that her reckless and impetuous temper cost her Father his life, and for that she can never forgive herself.

Family:
Helena (Barnham) Tamerlaine – Adoptive Mother/Pureblood – 42 (deceased)
Oskar Tamerlaine – Father/Pureblood – 43 (deceased)
Vanna ?? – Biological Mother/Muggle – approximately 35-40, obliviated, status and location unknown
Andriel Tamerlaine – Paternal Grandmother -62 (deceased)
Gavel Tamberlaine – Paternal Grandfather – 65 (deceased)

Likes: Sports/Outdoors –Old ruins and forests, the creepier the better – Unusual creatures, magical or not – Music and ice cream are her mood medicine – Flying
Dislikes: Arithmancy/Divination – Long winded lectures – Politics – Judgmental people – Repetitive routines - Elevators

Strength: Ona relates powerfully to animals and creatures of all kinds, having an instinctive bond that is formed more easily than those with people.
Weakness: Moderate, bordering on severe claustrophobia affects Ona with anxiety attacks and avoidance of closed in and/or thickly crowded places and apparating is something she barely mastered, and rarely uses, because it often sets off her claustrophobia into a tizzy.

Hi Wyatt, I promise I will get to reading through all the CS's that I need to on Saturday. Always best to pm them straight on to me, then at least I can read them on my break at work. Was so busy last 2 days this is my first chance to get on and really just to tell the team that I will devote more time to the game tomorrow. That includes giving your CS my undivided attention. I will sort the face claim out for you as well.
Thanking you in advance for your patience.

[Xanatos]

Face Claim: Neels Visser

Name: Noah Evans
Nickname: Evan(s), Blue, Dragon or Blue Dragon (got it from his Patronus)

Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Birthplace: Leeds, England
Blood Status: Half-blood
Muggle-Born Registration Number: None
Year: Repeating 7th year
House: Ravenclaw

Wand: Aelder Heart | 16 in, Alder, Dragon Heart-string, unyielding despite a few shallow gashes born of war (Still has wand)
Patronus: Sea or Blue Dragon Slug (has trouble consistently summoning his Patronus)
Apparation license: Yes


Physical Appearance: Noah is what some might consider a more classically handsome man. Bearing no exotic looks, yet exuding a natural confidence and charm. He is 5'11”, blonde hair and blue eyes with just a touch of a tan. Noah is physically fit and possessing a defined physique. He wears his medium-short hair swept back or loose.

He has a few scars on his body that were inflicted by dark wizards during his many fights. Dark memento's of a sort. Both solemn memories and a twisted pride he sometimes acknowledges. He won. They didn't. The only immediately noticeable scar is on the left side of his neck. Slender, and fading as if something cut into the neck, only to move past and away.

Personality Traits: Brave | Intellectual | Pragmatic | Dedicated | Strong Willed | Adventurous | Fun Loving | Broody | Frustrated

Broody: This is not a trait he is given to commonly, but in especially quiet moments or times that trigger memories, he can grow broody. Stuck in a cycle of reliving past trauma, second guessing old decisions, and dealing with a life he doesn't always recognize any longer.

Frustrated: Why do people want to just act like nothing happened? Voldemort did so much harm. That isn't something to be ignored.

Personal History: Noah was born to a Pureblood father and a Muggle mother. His father, Archibald Evans, was unlike many wizards, a man who could blend seamlessly into both worlds. A trait passed down to Noah and one nurtured, to ensure his son never struggled to understand either side. Thus, Noah grew up appreciating both the 'mundane' and the magical.

When he received his acceptance letter into Hogwarts, his father was none the least surprised. Having already primed Noah on what to expect and teaching him anything that wouldn't break any underage magic laws. Archibald came from a modicum of wealth, more than most – though far from rich – and showed no compunction about using it to ensure his son was well prepared for the life that lay ahead of him.

And well prepared he was, at least for the life of a student. Noah did well. Devoting himself to studies and doing exceptionally well in practical application. Which marked him as the ideal Ravenclaw. Then at other times, his propensity for standing up for others, would make some wonder why he hadn't been sorted into Gryffindor. Consequently, Noah had a smallish following of sorts. Consisting mostly of those whom he'd protected from bullies or those who simply admired and or crushed on him.

As the years passed, Noah grew more focused and increasingly concerned. He'd heard all the rumors about dark wizards, Death Eaters, and Voldemort himself. He didn't always understand what was going on, but he knew it wasn't good. Always rational, pragmatic, Noah realized he had to do something in his own way. Already a natural with several subjects, he doubled down. Narrowing himself to only that which he felt might be sufficient to protect himself and his friends. While other subjects, he intentionally or through simple neglect, began to let fall by the wayside. Attempting to arm himself, as he'd say on occasion, for the dark cloud looming ominously ahead.

Despite this, Noah remained a friendly sort, open for fun and adventure, and loved the magical world. Though, those closest to him, would notice the change from a youthful scholar to that of one preparing for the worst.

Unfortunately, when the worst came, not even Noah's preparations proved entirely adequate. As was often said, book knowledge cannot trump actual in the dirt experience. Noah knew an impressive repertoire of spells and other knowledge, by the time open war came, but facing actual flesh and blood people wishing to do him and others harm, proved a starkly horrifying revelation. Noah managed to stand tall, showing signs of his natural instincts and capability as a duelist, but not without a few near death instances.

Its hard to say what exactly would have happened to a fighter like Noah, but the timely intervention of a small group of witches and wizards who were fighting back cemented his course. They took him in, impressed with his fighting spirit and capability. He happily joined. Though any happiness evaporated, as his reality became plain and ugly. War was nasty. Even the good guys sometimes did things that were repugnant. All in the name of survival and trying to defeat an enemy far far worse.

And the ugly truth of war would claim him, too. When one day, he was scouting a small village believed to still harbor snatchers and some lesser Death Eater members, he came upon a scene forever burned into his memory. A dirty, ill-kept, Snatcher ripping the clothing off a young teen girl. The intent was clear and Noah found himself horrified, disgusted and then enraged. That man would be the first death placed upon his conscious.

When the war ended, Noah had come away seeing much of the worst the world had to offer. Without a cause, the people he'd lived, survived, and fought alongside evaporated away. It left him confused. Even feeling perhaps abandoned. Suddenly bereft of the only friends he thought were still alive, he didn't know what to do.

Spending time with his parents, whom he'd earlier begged to flee the country, had only helped a little. When the chance to return to Hogwarts came, he accepted in the hopes that a return to some normalcy might help. Yet, the bumbling government under Shacklebolt did little to inspire his confidence.

Family: Shortly after the war began openly, Noah begged his family to flee the UK. Since he refused to do anything but fight, he feared the Death Eaters would retaliate against them. Reluctantly, his family relented to his wishes and left the UK. Only returning once he told them it was safe to return.

Archibald Evans (Father) (Pure blood) (Potions Master) (Alive)

George Evans (Grandfather) (Pure blood) (Rare Magical Creature Breeder) (Alive)
Ester Evans (Grandmother) (Pure Blood) (Rare Magical Creature Breeder) (Alive)


Likes: Learning (especially learning new magic, spells, etc) | Outdoors | Adventure | Flying | Mentally and Physically stimulating activities
Dislikes: Being interrupted while actively learning | Unnecessarily noisy people | Wasteful people | Having to hide | Distrust/Hatred for Muggles
Strength: Quick learner and level headed. These traits are chiefly what helped keep Noah alive.
Weakness: Can over prioritize to the detriment of something else | PTSD

Familiar: Had an Eastern Screech Owl named Argus, but Argus is presumed lost or dead.

On's and Off's: My O/O's page is still under construction, as my old one had been woefully out of date.

Suffice it to say, Noah has more or less the usual experience as a young man his age, is curious to learn more, but with the realities of war and continuing on with life, sex isn't high on his list of pursuits. Though, he might not turn it down if the opportunity arises.

Otherwise: Vanilla, Light-bondage, oral, outdoor sex, and some other things. Can grow into more niche/kinkier things if expanded in that direction.

Off's: Bathroom play, scat, vore, golden shower, etc.

Extra: Noah would like to learn both Ligillemency/Occlumency, non-verbal magic, and create his own spells. Achieving all or some of these goals is currently seen as an expression/extension of who he has become, as well as simply useful tools for his future.

While he has no desire for a government job as a Legillimens, he's considered doing it freelance. For the time being, he sees himself following in his fathers footsteps, however. Becoming a Potions Master. Either taking over his fathers business in time or creating his own.

[Kendra]

Thank you everyone for the interest in MuggleNet.
Recruitment will be closing for a while.

[Kendra]

Hogwarts MuggleNet is reopening for recruitment! Please read the first post in this thread before asking any questions. The game has already started and we are basically finishing up on the Wand debacle. So any new students coming in can post that they have gotten their wands back from the ministry at the Start of Year feast. The school year is just about to kick off so it is a perfect time to get into the game. We are trying to keep the group to a nice small manageable number so it will be on a first-come, first serve basis. Our writers are amazing, I cannot thank them enough for the honour they do my game with their fabulous writing. First characters do have to be students and preferably muggle-born or Half-blood.

[Crash]

It had been a very fun game.

[Callie Del Noire]

There are COOKIES

[persephone325]

There are COOKIES

Chocolate chip, I hope? lol

Tentative interest from me. I can't really commit 100%, but I want to keep an eye on the thread in case I can come up with something. :-)

[Kendra]

:D

But of course chocolate chip ;)

The players in MuggleNet vary between daily posters to every other day to weekly.
There is no pressure on anyone, other than when we do group events but they are few and far between and players can have the choice of opting out of them or doing just a one-shot post for their characters.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask :D

[Crash]

Yep.  Play at your leisure.

[Kendra]

MuggleNet went Big Game Status yesterday, so now we have our own board to play around in. The players have as much of a say in things as the GM, they have helped at the end of the day to get the game to the point it is at. We do start players off with 1 or 2 characters but it is only to get a sense of the world we play in. Once activity in game has been established, you are free to create other characters, currently players are creating Hogsmeade residents. So there are opportunities to play adults in the game. The game has all sorts in it, from gender neutral characters, to trans characters from characters with amazing magical abilities to those who struggle because of their wand. The limitations are only set by yourself and me, the GM of course. But the players will tell you that I am very lenient, you just have to sell it to me, reason with me and the most bizarre non-sensical can become one that is at home in our version of the Harry Potter world. We even have creepy Umbridge buttons for our signatures :D A total must have this season  ;D Do pop over and take a look, if you don't fancy asking questions here - drop one into my inbox.

[Praxis]

It might feel intimidating to jump in but it's a super friendly group and we are basically in the first week of school. So much to do and explore for your characters.  Also Kendra is the gold standard for GMs. You owe it to yourself to give it a crack.

[Mellific]

It seems I've been pulled back into the Potter sphere! That is, if you've got room for me.

Kendra, would it be okay with you if I bring back my two student characters I initially joined with? I was thinking of just glossing over their first couple of days, for the sake of ease. Also was wondering about making an adult faculty member. Are there still staff positions available? I was leaning toward the library, but am open to other suggestions/options.

Lemme know whenever you get the chance! :>

Hi Mel,
We would of course welcome you and your two student characters back.
However, as the game is mainly about the students, it is discouraged to create a grownup character right off the bat.

Faculty/shopowners etc are only given to people active in the game for a period of time.
So you would only be recreating your previous characters at this time.
Hope this is acceptable.

[Xiomara]

Is there still room - and is there any particular "type" of student or character that is currently needed? Thank you!

[Crash]

There is room and any type of student is welcome.  I believe faculty and staff, I don’t know.

[Xiomara]

Where would I make a FC while I'm working on my character?

And thank you for answering, I appreciate :)

[Crash]

Glad to help.

I think Kendra is asking that players make students first before faculty.

You can just drop your FC here and I am sure Kendra will reserve it for you.

[Praxis]

There is a boat load of room for students!

[Kendra]

Hi Jadis,
thank you for the interest in the game.
Any and all types of students are welcome - what I have asked players to do though is to start first and foremost with a muggleborn or halfblood student so that the player can join the angst and get a good feel for the crazy of the game :D

2 students everyone is allowed when starting up - just so players can break into the game at their leisure. When they're active a few weeks and have a good feel for the game - then once I give the all clear, a player has limitless character creations - from Hogsmeade grownups, family NPC's to more student characters.

If there are any faculty places left players active in game will get nudged first on these to see if they would like to play them. Just let me know what FC you would like - the current FC list is HERE.

Any questions feel free to ask, if I don't get to it one of the players will. They're a great bunch :D

I would like to save the FC of Angelina Jolie (young version) - I didn't see a place to do that, but that's the character image I was thinking of using. I hope that's alright! And thank you so much for all the good information ... it's a little overwhelming so hopefully I can iron it out :)

[Kendra]

I can only imagine that it is overwhelming.

But little steps, don't try to do everything all at once or to know everything all at once.
We'll all help you along.
There are two main areas to look to for information;

THE WORLD GAME INFO - which can be skimmed through until you have to use stuff or need to use stuff.

and

IN-GAME INFORMATION - which is all the stuff that has happened in the game GM plot wise. It's mainly the moving of the Hogwarts express - the incident that occurred on the train, and then the wand scene at the Starting feast.

Those are the only two threads to concern yourself with while building your character.
If you would like your character to have any specific skills or abilities do give me a nudge and I will go through them with you.
The list is in the world thread info ;)

And I will mark up Angelina Jolie for you - a great choice.
In this game, when you pick a FC - then that FC is yours - from young images to older ones - makes it handy for family groupings and all sorts of in-game shenanigans.

:D

[Kendra]

The first post has been updated with more current information about the game.

Again, any questions don't hesitate to ask.

[Cream]

Interested...in particular,  I would live to bring in a character of mine I havent played in at least a decade.  But he may not be doable in your game.  May I message you Kendra?

[Kendra]

Of course you may Cream.

I've used plenty of my old characters already - just tweaked parts of them to make them fit this game :)
By all means - shoot me a pm :)

[CurvyKitten]

I keep peeking at this one, and the muse is craving some hogwarts rp goodness hehehe. Hmmm I will have to see if I can think up something fun!

Good to see you, Curvy! Looking forward to seeing your characters.

Hello Cosima! I have them saved in my on off thread at the moment. :) Like I said will probably have to tweak to make sure they fit within the world perfectly. But yes! They have been sent to Kendra and await her comments. so YAAY!

Awesome!  Hope to see you in game soon.

Here's hoping!

[Callie Del Noire]

Looking forward to meeting your characters Curvy.

Recruitment for Mugglenet is reopening for a brief spell.

Please read below post for details.

If interested, PM your sheet to Kendra and Flower.

Feel free to ask questions here or in PM. Whatever you are most comfortable with.

We are excited to plot with you. ^^

Note: The below image looks really cool, but it is hard to read! :P The important article pertaining to this recruitment drive is in the post below in a regular format.

Ministry of Magic Shakes Up Wizarding World with Revolutionary Foreign Student Program!

In a groundbreaking move that will shape the future of magical education, the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, has announced the initiation of a transformative Foreign Student Program, MagiGlobe. Prepare to welcome a new era of cross-cultural wizarding collaboration!

The Ministry, in collaboration with esteemed magical institutions worldwide, has devised a visionary program, MagiGlobe, that invites talented students from different magical schools to experience the wonders of British wizarding education. The MagiGlobe initiative fosters international cooperation, cultural exchange, and a deeper understanding of magical practices across borders. Never before has the wizarding community witnessed such an ambitious endeavor! This program promises to ignite the flame of curiosity and unity among young witches and wizards, transcending geographical boundaries and forging lifelong connections.

Shacklebolt, in a statement to the Daily Prophet, expressed profound enthusiasm for this unprecedented initiative, stating, "MagiGlobe marks a new chapter in our magical community, where borders no longer limit the pursuit of knowledge and collaboration. We believe in the power of diversity and the strength it brings to our shared magical heritage."

With Shacklebolt's unwavering commitment to fostering global connections, MagiGlobe promises to shape the future of magical education, bringing wizards and witches worldwide together on a unified platform.

Dear Potential Writer,

Welcome to Mugglenet! We are delighted to extend an invitation for you to join our world and explore a new character type. As you may have read in the article above, the Ministry of Magic has initiated the MagiGlobe program, granting students from different corners of the world the opportunity to attend Hogwarts. The reasons driving your character's desire to participate in this program are entirely open to your imagination.

While your character won't make an immediate appearance at Hogwarts, they will engage in daily correspondence with a randomly selected Hogwarts student. Through these letters, we hope your character will establish a friendship that eases their transition from one school to another.

However, your character won't be limited to letter writing alone. We encourage you to chronicle your character's adventures and friendships back at their original school for the time being. Your character will also interact with other characters from their school until they all travel to Hogwarts to complete a term of school.

Furthermore, we invite you to create a Hogwarts character as well. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the intricate history and plot points of Mugglenet. For instance, your foreign exchange student might be unaware of the true reason behind the Ministry of Magic's program initiative (as schools in the Potterverse aren't always forthcoming with information). However, a Hogwarts student might come to the conclusion that the program aims to divert attention from an upcoming controversial trial involving Umbridge, who committed numerous crimes under Voldemort's rule. If you are interested in writing a Hogwarts student, please consult this post.

We hope this invitation entices you to join our writing community. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them here or contact Flower/Kendra. We look forward to your creative contributions at Mugglenet!

THE GREAT ELEVEN
In addition to canon school offerings, our illustrious GM, Kendra, created several unique non-canon options for your perusal.
These schools are Dagrun, Neilos, Wananga, and Kanata. 
Please take a peek at those as a lot of love and care went into their creation.
Also, thank you, Rustic, for the non-canon school graphics.

Click Here Dagrun Galdr Skola : ᛞᚨᚷᚱᚢᚾ ᚷᚨᛚᛞᚱ ᛋᚴᛟᛚᚨ While Hogwarts supported education on the British Isles, Beauxbatons in the Mediterranean countries and Durmstrang in the Eastern European countries  - there is a fourth European school that supports education in the North of Europe, the Scandinavian countries, serving Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. This is Dagrun Galdr Skola - The Secret Knowledge Magic School. Established in 1720, it is a relatively small school boarding at most 200 students. All Scandinavian magiske børn (Magical Children) are home-schooled until the age of 14 years. There are small Fællesskabets magiske skole (community magical schools) for those aged 15 to 16 years. The Dagrun Galdr Skola is a specialist school for those aged 17 years to 21 years. Subjects Taught at Dagrun Runic Divination: Where other magic schools throughout the world are taught using one type of rune, those attending The Dagrun are taught using all the different types of runes. Ancient Runes: As soon as Scandinavian magical children can speak, they are taught their runic alphabet. There are different ones and by the time they attend The Dagrun, they are well proficient. The Dagrun takes their knowledge of the runes to another level, they cast spells with runes, tell fortunes, write and read as others might any language. Galdr Incantations: The Scandinavians do not believe in good or evil magic / light or dark - their incantations are not split into hexes, jinxes, curses and charms - they are collectively called Galdr incantations. Laws & Science of Magic: To cast an incantation, it is always necessary to understand it. Every magic has laws that govern it's use in the world,
