The year 2000 was an eventful time for the world. For Muggles, digital technology began to hit its peak, placing computers, laptops, and cell phones in more homes than ever before. For wizarding folk, the scourge of Voldemort had been eradicated for three blissful years, and the residents of magical Britain were finally getting used to peace once again. The new millennium marked a time of change and innovation for all, heralding new ideas, blessings, and challenges for both sides of humanity to face.

Mechanical Info
Welcome to my quest! It'll have a more concrete name once the protagonist's name is chosen -- 'Hogwarts: 20 Years Later' is a working title I picked to have an initial thread title. As you probably gathered, this is a Harry Potter quest starting in the year 2011, following a girl as she studies at Hogwarts and saves the world. You know, the usual.

The system for this quest will be Harry Potter and the Tabletop RPG, along with some house rules that I will introduce as they become relevant. For those of you who don't want to read the pdf, I'll explain the appropriate mechanics when they come up and edit them in here when I do.

Character creation will mostly be done narratively, with a character sheet posted at the end.

Busy day today, but I'll manage to update, probably in the evening. Leaving the vote open until then. The current tally is as follows.

Astrid: 8
Esther: 3*
Hestia: 2
Vivian: 2

*second place will be used as middle name if a middle name is not voted upon

Ivanovich: 9
Smith: 4
Maddox: 2

January 1st: 8
February 29th: 4
May 2nd: 3
July 31st: 1

Muggle mother, pureblood father: 6
Pureblood: 4
'Harry Potter' halfblood (one parent with Muggle relatives): 3
Wizard-raised halfblood (both parents with Muggle relatives): 1
Muggle father, halfblood mother: 1

Abandoned by parents: 4
Happy family: 4
Parents murdered: 3
Father died in accident: 3
Father died of sickness: 1
Mother died in childbirth: 1

tl;dr Both names and birthday have clear leaders so far. (Astrid Ivanovich, January 1st) Muggle mother and pureblood father leads Parents by two votes, and Background is currently tied between having a happy family and being abandoned by your parents.
