Let's Jump to It! [Jumpchain Quest]

July 24th 1991

Your name is Vivian Majere; Scion of the Ancient and Noble House of Majere. Born March 31 1980, your family tree has been filled with witches and wizards for over five hundred of year. Prophesized to bring about a reign of darkness come the new millennium due to being the only which born during an unexpected eclipse.
Family Roll: 1d100= 13 (Bad Luck). Affiliation Roll: 1d3= 3 (Neutral)
Your grandmother has done her best to teach you everything you need to know to inherit the Majere household, after your parents died in the war. Something she has drilled into your head from a young age. Proper manners when at formal events, how to conduct yourself in front of your peers in such a way that you don't cause the house to lose face, and to think before you go off and join a madman just to get yourself killed in an attempt to accomplish the noble goal of blood-purity in the most ham-handed way possible!

She rants about that last one at length given the smallest reason.

Still, you are also Vivian Majere; centuries-old scholar of magic from an alternate Earth and winner of a cosmic-lottery that ended up with you being able to go on a Jumpchain adventure.
Resist Trauma (childhood) Roll: 1d100= 84 + 15 (Resolve) + 25 (Occlumency) = 124 (Crit!) + 1d100 = 19 (143); Req: 85; Result: Great Success.
Your studies into the nature of magic itself were considered revolutionary by the modern magical community, and you were no slouch in the more mundane sciences. You've lived through witch-hunts, revolutions, civil wars, world wars, times of persecution, & times of peace.

Dowager Majere's smothering, archaic, and downright toxic methods of raising a child might have left an ordinary person a mental-wreck, even with training in occlumency. You however, have been around the proverbial block before. It took you a few hours, but you were able to go through the memories of your new life to isolate and work through the more traumatic ones.

Still, you'll probably need to do something about your grandmother at some point, or weren't going to be able to accomplish your Scenario, let alone half of the goals you'd set for yourself.

Anyway, you've just gotten back from a visit to Diagon Alley, after having finally recieved your Hogwarts letter. In which you'd managed to pick up your wand (9 1/2 inches, cherry wood with a unicorn tail core, slightly bendy), a Nimbus 2000 broom (which you have special permission to bring with you to Hogwarts), and a tawny owl to handle your mail.
Roll: 1d2= 2 (female)
You still have to name her, actually:

[] Write-In

She seems pleased enough with the name (you think).

Aside from that, your grandmother has gifted you with a number of books that have been passed down in the family, and a dragon-hide longcoat that apparently belonged to your mother.

You idly stretch out on your (ridiculously comfortable) bed, musing to yourself how hectic today was.

Hey, discovering that you're a pseudo-reincarnating dimensional-traveler and integrating your new memories would be exhausting by itself without the afternoon shopping-trip.

Currently, you have a little over a month before the school-year at Hogwarts begins.

How do you want to spend your time? (Pick 3)

[] Studying [Magic]: Your first-year schoolbooks seem fairly basic, but there's a lot of information to cover, and it's always good to start with the basics. Right?
[] Studying [Magic]: Majere Manor's libraries have books dating back to the 16th Century. You're sure you can find plenty of useful information in them.
[] Studying [Magic]: Another trip to Flourish and Blotts will be needed for more modern books. Your grandmother may object, though.
[] Studying [Culture]: Wizarding culture has developed in ways that diverge greatly from both modern society and the magical cultures from your own Earth. This must be investigated!
[] Studying [Other]: (Write-In)
[] Socializing [Peers]: Now that your Letter has arrived, your grandmother has been eager to introduce you to the scions of other houses. You can handle a few (dozen) social events, right?
[] Socializing [Grandmother]: You'll need to reach an understanding with her if you want to have any kind of working relationship. Might prove difficult, since you're (physically) eleven and she's set in her ways.
[] Socializing [Other]: (Write-In)
[] Write-In (must be okayed by the GM)

GM's Note: I almost started you guys at the beginning of the schoolyear, then I realized that jump is supposed to start on July 24th.

This is better, anyway, it let's you have some in-world prep-time before being thrust into the deathtrap institute of learning that is Hogwarts.

Anyway: Voting will begin at Noon (1200 PDT) tomorrow (Friday). Feel free to create and discuss plans until then
