I was in it and I was like uh hold on a second XD
at the end of this tournament we can bring our characters to Hogwarts correct? should I post my students who aren't going to come this term AKA my Magnus who is a werewolf and thus won't be rp-ed this term but will come back next
Hey! Could you please update the information for Ellie Wilding -- I changed my username from Bauble to charming :) thank you in advance (again, hehe).
Oh. lol Sorry about that.
We're still talking transfers. We'll be setting up restrictions on which characters can be transferred to Hogwarts. We're currently allowing people to transfer their character on a case by case basis.
Sure. Thanks for letting me know about your username change (nice snag!).
okay :) after the term then I'll poke one of ya to see if I can transfer River to Hogwarts ^.^.
I'm just going to drop the question relating to special abilities and put none in my roster. I'd like to redirect my other question to you, if you can answer. How "long" is a term for RP's sake? Is one term treated as a year at the school or is it literally just a term? I'm trying to figure out what year my character is even in but I'm not sure.
Added 's entry to roster.
Euphrasie "Effy" Bertrand - Ravenclaw
Name: Euphrasie "Effy" Aveline Bertrand.
Nickname: Goes by Effy almost exclusively.
Username:
Blood Status: Half-blood.
Nationality: British/French.
Spoken Languages: English, French, some Latin and German.
Special Ability: None as of now.
Birthday: 7 September.
Age: 15, turning 16 shortly into the start of next term.
House: Ravenclaw.
Extracurriculars: Outside of classes, she enjoys reading/studying in the library, going on walks around the lake, gardening in the greenhouses, sketching and painting, or just hanging about Ravenclaw Tower, chatting with her housemates. As for scholastic extracurriculars, she hopes she'll be able take Advanced Arithmancy Studies when the new term starts.
Favorite Class(es): Ancient Runes, Herbology, Arithmancy, Charms.
Wand: 10 ¾", black walnut, unicorn hair, slightly yielding.
Patronus: Mute swan.
Boggart: A blank void/absolute nothingness.
Pet(s): Henri the European mink.
Favorite Quidditch Team: French National Team, Ravenclaw House Quidditch Team.
Favorite Candy: Godiva and Sugar Quills.
Favorite Color: Blues, greys, greens.
Favorite Book: Far too many to choose just one! She keeps copies of Olde and Forgotten Bewitchments and Charmes, Spellman's Syllabary, and Goshawk's Guide to Herbology shrunken in her bookbag at all times. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is also a long-time favourite (she's gone through four copies!). She recently read Xylomancy by Selina Sapworthy. Currently, she is reading the Guide to Advanced Occlumency, wanting to better her skill.
Favorite Holiday: Christmas.
Favorite Prank/Joke: While she appreciates a clever joke, she prefers riddles and puzzles over pranks.
Appearance: 5'9", slender, fair-skinned/pale with long black hair and light blue eyes. She can sometimes be a bit self-conscious of her height, and occasionally worries she looks gangly or awkward to others.
Personality: Introverted and quiet, Effy tends to keep to herself. Some may mistake this distance as aloofness or coldness at first but she is a kind-hearted, friendly person. Very curious about the world and everything in it, she loves learning new things because she wholeheartedly believes that knowledge is the greatest power one can have. She has a strong sense of honesty/justice/fairness and tends to be an optimistic thinker that tries to look for the best in everyone or any given situation. When she was a small child, her mother used to remind her that it was okay to daydream and have your head in the clouds as long as you kept your feet on the ground. Effy thinks this is good advice and "optimistic, yet sensible" is how she would describe herself if one was to ask.
Bio: Effy's mother is a French pure-blood from a lineage with centuries-old ties as patrons/benefactors to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Effy's father is a British muggle-born who attended Hogwarts, sorted into Hufflepuff house. Growing up, her parents made sure she was exposed to both wizarding and muggle culture, especially the arts, leading to ballet lessons, art classes, and music lessons (piano and harp). When not attending school, Effy lives with her parents and her 9 year-old sister Elodie in her father's hometown in Berkshire; the family also spends a significant amount of time every summer and during holidays visiting her mother's parents in France.
Goals: Short term: to improve her Occlumency abilities and take Advanced Arithmancy Studies. Long term: She is undecided, but she thinks she'd like to work with magical artifacts in some way.
thank you :) I did some revamping of my character... I could never come up with a last name to use but I suppose it doesn't matter that much.
In Hufflepuff

Personality: Extremely introverted and shy, doesn’t talk much, but as a true Hufflepuff, she is very loyal and fair.
Bio: From a full world of Muggles, with Muggle parents, she feels a little bit alone when it comes to her studies. Her parents try to understand the magical world she’s a part of, but they don’t understand a lot. They aren’t angry or afraid, just don’t understand. Up until her acceptance at Hogwarts, she lived a normal, Muggle life, albeit the strange, unexplained occurrences, later explained by her magical properties. She’s enthused to go to school to be with people like her and learn more about the world she was born to be part of. She’s still very shy and doesn’t seem to be very social; she spends the most time with her pet lizard, which was gifted to her for company while at school.
Goals: to become better at flying on a broom

Favorite Holiday: Halloween
Favourite Prank/Joke: Shock-o-Choc
Appearance: 4'11" with long wavy dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, fair skin, wears glasses and has freckles
Personality: Usually quiet around those she doesn't know, but observes everyone and everything. Rather shy until she gets to know someone, but when she does know you you're a person she can talk to for hours and hours. Can be rather silly at times and a bit clumsy, tries to look on the bright side of things. Can have a temper at times, has been working on trying to fix that. Often found strolling in the library, deciding what book to read next. Gets upset pretty easily and often turns to music to help her cope and get over what's made her sad.
Goals: To learn as much magic as possible and then to become a Magizoologist
Bio: Although both of her parents could perform magic, her mother was only a half-blood. It wasn't until Zay accidentally caught some drapes on fire that they'd found out she had magical abilities as well. She recieved the invitation to Hogwarts a few months after her 11th birthday. An aunt on her father's side that raised griffin's gave her Duskfluff as a birthday/congratulation present. Soon after Zay and her parents made their way to Diagon Alley to pick up her school supplies. At Hogwart's the sorting hat had a difficult time figuring out where to put her, but eventually placed her into Ravenclaw. She was pretty relieved when it was all said and done because sitting there for everyone to see was making her nervous. She's rather quirky and silly, often having her head up in the clouds and she's a bit on the shy side, until she gets to know people. She tends to keep to herself, not wanting to be the center of attention, unless it's with a group of her friends. She's got a major attachment to animals, magical or otherwise, and wants to learn all she can about them. Outside of magic, she enjoys reading muggle books, playing muggle video games, and listening to music.
About my animagus... I was never given a clear answer yet as to if it was allowed. I upped her age to a 4th year, but I'm still not sure if that's okay or not. I know said before I'd changed her age that she was too young.

Added! You can always add a surname later if you find something that suits you. Although surnames aren't really necessary. c:
I'm going to hold off from including your character's special ability since your special ability hasn't been approved. I'll make a note to update your special ability when/if it is approved. As of right now, only Mary can approve special abilities and she hasn't had time to check to be up to date with the thread.
I'm giving Paddy a term off from classes, and just using her for RPs instead ;) Hopefully this is ok to bring my 4A character to Hogwarts this term instead (see below) :D To save confusion, I'd like her to be in Gryffindor (that way i don't need to swap houses or anything :P)
Name: Niamh Doyle her first name is pronounced "Nee-v"
Username:
Blood Status: Pure-blood
Nationality: Irish
Spoken Languages: Gaelic, English
Special Ability: Metamorphmagus
Birthday: August 15th
Age: 15
Extracurriculars: Anything that involves either getting outside and exploring, or sitting indoors with a book.
Favorite Class(es): Arithmancy, History of Magic
Wand: 10 inches, Acacia, Unicorn Hair, surprisingly swishy
Patronus: Fwooper (thankfully a Patronus is silent!)
Pet(s): Two cats called Lick and Rish (she named them when she was younger, and despite trying to rename them, they refuse to answer to anything else)
Favorite Candy: Liquorice Wands
Favorite Colors: Purple and pink
Favorite Book: Curse-Breaking for Beginners which was rumoured to have been written by her father under a pen-name
Favorite Holiday: Christmas
Appearance: Reasonably tall for her age, with dark hair (varying from black to purple). Her mother is a metamorphmagus, and likes to believe that the occasional purple tone of Niamh's hair is a sign that she has, in fact, got the same skills. This year she's started gaining some control over when her hair changes colour, although she doesn't have complete control over it yet. She always wears glasses (sometimes colour coordinated with her outfits), and if she's in a particularly sandy area she usually wears a headscarf to stop the sand getting in her hair.
Personality: Outgoing when she chooses to be, but most people would say she was shy (simply because she was too busy reading to notice they were there).
Bio: Born in Ireland, Niamh's family moved to Egypt when she was just 2 years old. Her father found work as a curse-breaker in the local area, and Niamh quickly settled into living in a different country. After the Triwizard, Niamh's family agreed to allow her to move to Hogwarts from 4A, where she had been in the 'practised' rank.
Goals: To eventually become a curse-breaker like her father

Mary and I are allowing people to transfer their characters on a case by case basis. :) It's just to have more formality with transfers. We're not restricting transfers too much, but we don't want everyone to nonchalantly transfer their character. Don't forget that you can only roleplay one character with a special ability per term. If you would like Niamh to have a special ability, then Paddy won't have a special ability when you roleplay her.
This is my Slytherin OC:
Cassandra McCleod - Slytherin
Private Outfit
Name: Cassandra McCleod
Nickname: Cassie
Username:
Blood Status: Pure-blood
Nationality: Irish
Spoken Languages: English
Special Ability: None
Birthday: October 31
Age: 15
Extracurriculars:
Favorite Class(es): Defense Against the Dark Arts, Alchemy
Wand: 10 ¾ inches, aspen, dragon heartstring, supple
Patronus: Dragon
Boggart: Being abandoned
Pet(s): Guinness the barn owl
Favorite Quidditch Team: Kenmare Kestrels
Favorite Candy: Peppermint Toads
Favorite Color: Emerald
Favorite Book: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Favorite Holiday: Yule
Appearance: Cassie is fair-skinned with freckles, red hair, dark brown eyes. She’s of medium build, about 5’6”.
Personality: Cassie is serious and studious with an occasional rebellious streak. She wrestles with an inclination towards hubris and often comes across (sometimes rightly so) as quite pretentious. She has a good heart, although it is tempered with quite a bit of practicality, which can be mistaken for callousness. Cassie takes pride in being a Slytherin and often feels pressure to prove the virtues of the house.
Bio: Cassie’s mother, Erica Pottsworth, is an American wizard who attended Ilvermorny and belonged to House Thunderbird. She specializes in herbology and potions and travels to different schools of wizardry to give guest lectures and to serve as a mentor for particularly gifted herbology students. She met Cormac McCleod, Cassie’s father while on the lecture circuit at Hogwarts. Cormac, a Hogwarts alumni from Slytherin, was working as a curse breaker but decided to stay at home and work as a consultant once Cassie’s older brother Ewan was born. Ewan picked up his mother’s flair for herbology and attends Castelobruxo.
Goals: Cassie strives for high marks in her classes and hopes to someday work as an Auror.

thanks - I just saw your post from last night on the other thread, so do you want me to sMail that over to you rather than having it posted on this thread?

You don't need to sMail me your roster. All you need to do is sMail request, letting me know she left 4A or why she is transferring to Hogwarts and don't forget to register Niamh for a special ability here: Special Ability Registration (7th Term). I can't add Niamh to the roster until she is approved to have a special ability.
Added! :)
