So, the game seem to in a bit of a roth right now, witch is understandable to some degree considering allot of peoples whent back to school this week, but it still has me and @Yanez reflecting on its future.

So, the questions is: are you still interest?

Do you think an hiatus to wait until less busy time could help?

Have you any other suggestions for the future of the game?

Yes, i am.
 
Is recruiting still open? I'm interested in joining.
For Nationality, are citizens of the subjects of the British Empire, such as the Dominion of Canada, South Africa, the British Raj and Hong Kong, accepted?
 
Very well :) Since most peoples seem interested in keeping going we shall do so. Ultamitely, if the game is going a bit slow for a moment it isn't the end of the world

Yes recruiting is still open :) the school setting allow the characters to easily integrate the story. As of the other question in principle yes but since hogwarts letters only come to wizards located in Britain a backstory on how they ended up there shall be needed.

I just think that there should be more frequent events for people to participate in, for anyone who is available.

Hmm. How 'bout this: Maybe a bi-weekly (RL-time) event? Event automatically is over at the end of the two weeks, so it prevents the event from dragging on, too. Anyone who is free those two weeks is encouraged to participate. This guarantees that there's a new interesting focus for the RP every two RL weeks.

Possible bi-weekly events: Riots in Hogsmeade! A monthly duelling round-robin event in which each player must prepare a strategy against their opponent! A school-wide Halloween Masquerade Ball, everyone arrives in costumes! A mystery: a thief has begun to steal from Slytherins during the night! ^_^

Alphard travelled to the library immediately after classes. Although Minerva had said she was not curious about her Ross relatives, Alphard was. And so he stood before the librarian's desk.

@Shapeless Phobos - I'll have a bit more time in 5 hours, shall respond to you then. I'm thinking that Hart & Hugh will be able to find a useful book for him, but more importantly, they establish themselves as friendly older figures?

Richard Dorient and Calliope Greengrass
  • Threadmarks
    • ​

    Name: Richard Dorient
    Nickname: Lawrence
    Gender: Male
    Age: 11 (born Nov. 11)
    Looks: Mixed (White, East Asian), swept black hair, blue eyes, especially tall
    Nationality: Canadian (Quebecois, Han Chinese)
    Blood & Economic Status: Muggleborn, Regular
    Hogwarts House & Year: First Year, Ravenclaw
    Wand: Pine and Phoenix feather, 13 inches and flexible

    Other Possessions: a large, waterproof journal, a black, embroidered scarf, a family photo, a docile tawny owl named Basilissa and a collection of muggle textbooks.

    Bio: Richard was born to a Chinese "nurse" (a full-fledged doctor in truth) from Hong Kong and a French Canadian engineer, both of upper middleclass families. Spending most of his childhood in Montreal, he lived happily with both his parents and excelled in mathematics and linguistics, in addition to possessing an affinity for both of his parent's expertise and history. He learnt French, Mandarin and English from his parents, as well as Spanish from their hispanic neighbor.

    At the outbreak of the war, his father was engaged into military service and was shipped to the the Alsatian front in France. Desperate, his mother brought him with her to London in order to more regularly receive news of his father. A few years after settling in, Richard found a strange letter in the letterbox, one addressed to him.

    Richard is an unshakably calm and collected individual, slow to judge and quick to think. He is naturally polite and a graceful loser. However, he prefers being alone with his books and tends to be quite spiteful when he believes he is being targeted. Richard is fundamentally an optimist that believes that all will end well, but is resigned to suffer the present.

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

    Note: Using the face, not the "clothing".​

    Name: Calliope Greengrass
    Nickname: Muse, Cal
    Gender: Female
    Age: 11
    Looks: Blonde ponytail with bangs, Teal eyes, short, athletic musculature
    Nationality: English, French
    Blood & Economic Status: Pureblood, Very wealthy
    Hogwarts House & Year: 1st Year, Slytherin
    Wand: Dragonheart string and Cherry, 10 inches and Bendy

    Other Possessions: A snow owl named Guinevere, a Persian cat named Cyrus, a custom wand holster and a Beginner's Book of Spellslinging.

    Bio: Calliope was born to the union of a male Greengrass far down the line of succession and a member of the equally prestigious de Lutece family from France. Precociously fluent in her mother languages of English and French, Calliope easily caught the attention of her peers - though rumours of Veela blood holding great influence in her de Lutece side remain suspiciously unconfirmed.

    Calliope is outgoing and social, compassionate and considerate. She is flexible, but also perceptive, persuasive and empathetic. Most of all, she is strong willed, determined and earnest. However, she holds a light, ingrained prejudice towards muggles. All else aside, her ambition is to one day become the greatest duelist this side of the hemisphere.

    Though many including herself aknowledge that she would fit right into Gryffindor, it is her latent shrewdness and desire to make the very best of herself that urged the Sorting Hat to place her in Slytherin.

    Basic Need – Optimism, Resignation
    Greatest Strength – Unshakeable Calm, Rationality
    Fatal Flaw – Spite, Loner

    I'm having difficulty choosing between Pine and Willow for the wood.
    S'good? Or is there something I need to tweak?

    Unfortunately, I must also deal with school...

    Sounds good :) the only small tidbits I have its that, by this point in the year, he would have been sortted dPerhaps you're intro post could be said sorting? They always are good inspiration and its a good way to flesh out his character. If you could find an image it would also be nice but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you don't find it. I'd need a decision on the wands too, of course :)

    In addition, while its by no mean an obligation we encourage you to register at least two characters. If you don't have any inspiration but are willing to take on another character there is multiples possibilities: take a canon character we don't know much and flesh him or her out, take a character from one of the former players (I got Dovasith autorisation and you can ask Estro if one of her characters prove more intersting to you) or take an NPC who has already receive a bit of characterisation.

    If you need any help for a second character or for anything else don't hesitate to PM me and or Yanez :)

    Indeed :) Since you are the captain of Hufflepuff you're pretty much free to write the scene of their tryouts, as long as it keep into account what has already been said about the team of Hufflepuff.

    The big unkown is the last job for a chasser: I assume you can find someone naturally talented among the peoples at the tryouts but logically, if you're other players haven't heard of them, he or she is gonna be very unexperienced.

    Quick recap on the players I have since I can remember that I had two chasers and a seeker left over from last year with me filling in as a beater.

    You could probably have him be a chasser but you'd be only changing you're problems from one position to another and he his probably more efficient where he his.
     
    Sully would submit to you that the takeaway from that story is that magical-muggle miscegenation is a terrible idea.
     
    Does anyone here have a good idea for a first year that they can't use themselves, and wouldn't mind me borrowing it?

    For the first and second years they're is always the option to go with a younger brother or sister of somebody. Basically, as long as it don't contradict game or actual canons and you clear it with the player in question anything is possible in this chapter :)

    Yes, that was actually my first thought.

    Alright, feelers. Who, here, would sensibly have a younger sibling they wouldn't mind me creating and roleplaying?
