Sign Up Hogwarts in Ten Years

[terra]

I've decided to start a different Hogwarts RPG, since I get jealous when I read about the one already there that I'm not in. :)

Of course, this one will be different. It's set some ten years in the future of the current Hogwarts kids. (I'm assuming that Voldemort will eventually get beaten so that there is a future.) So Harry Potter, for example, will now be around 25 instead of around 15. And Voldemort will be in the recent past.

There are a few options for people you can be. You may pick an existing character from the books -- of course, they will now be ten years older. Or, you can make someone up, which you will have to do if you want to be a student.

After you've picked your character, pick something for them to be. They can be a student (pick your year, I will pick your house though). Or they can be part of the Hogwarts staff, i.e. a teacher and/or head of a house. You may be a teacher and the head of a house, of course. (For a random example, Malfoy could be Divination teacher and Head of Slytherin.)

Here's a list of possible classes you can teach: Arithmancy, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Herbology, History of Magic, Muggle Studies, Potions, Study of Ancient Runes, and Transfiguration.

Dumbledore will remain the Headmaster of Hogwarts, even though he's rather old. If you would like to play him, post your signup, but PM me a sample of a previous RPG that's at least three paragraphs long and I'll let you know if you can be him.

I'd like a few bad guys to keep this interesting, so if you want to be bad, pick "Evil" for the "Good/Evil" category. Both students and staff can be evil (er ? except for Dumbledore. People like Harry Potter also probably will not turn evil, even though ten years have passed). The role of the "bad guys" will depend on who signs up to be them, so I'll wait a little on that. Or, you guys could make it up yourselves -- that'd be handy, hehe. Don't worry, not all evil students will be automatically placed in Slytherin.

Screening may or may not occur, depending on how many people sign up. I do reserve the right to cut people, though. (I'll probably look at your guys' past RPG's, if you have them.) Please post with good grammar and spelling if at all possible ... which it should be ...

Things I've forgotten to put in the first post so far: :)

Please limit yourself to one pet. (I added it to the signup after you, tursi, so don't worry.)

You may play Quidditch, but I don't think it's practical to have real inter-house games in the RPG. That is, we can mention them "Slytherin won 150-20", but not have the actual scenes. If people wanted Quidditch scenes, I was thinking of having a Quidditch "club" (sort of like, not-varsity), which would be open to any students. Then it could be non-serious and we could write some Quidditch scenes.

[tursi]

oh ok, well then i'll just have my crup, i can always use the schools owls.

[Onix]

Name: Professor Zhou (No one really knows his first name.)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Wand: Redwood, 11 inches, Dragon Heartstring
Position: Defense Against the Dark Arts
Good/Evil: Unknown ;)
Personality: Professor is rarely warm around any one, but he is kind to people he respects. He is a gentleman, which is odd, considering his past (see below). He doesn't trust many people, and he is fairly strict. He doesn't approve of any misconduct during his classes. He also makes it fairly well know that he dislikes the Malfoy family, often calling Lucius Malfoy a 'Viper' and a 'Baka', though no one really knows what that means, except his Japanese students.
Biography: He has been traveling the world, studing the dark arts and how to face them. It has been rumored, as well, that he has been hiring himself out as an assassin to pay for his travels. These rumors, however, remain unconfirmed. He graduated from an Oriental wizardry school, and he was top of his class. He has, at times, been hinted to have been involved with the Dark Arts and Dark Wizards, but these rumors, too, remain unconfirmed.
Appearance: He is very tall and lean. He rarely wears his hat, saying that this 'European Tradition' looks foolish. His hair is messy and brown, and he has spikey bangs. His eyes are a smokey blue. His face is slightly angular, yet still handsome, as he has a reputation as a ladykiller, though he is very respectful of all people.

For some of you who have only one-line biographies, [i]please[/i] add a little more detail. Particularly if you've already been at Hogwarts for a few years. You could say how you generally do in your classes, any hobbies you might have, what kind of friends you have, just anything interesting about your life. Thanks.

[Onix]

A few comments here.
First, does Professor Zhou work?
Second, it's spelled [i]Fawkes[/i]. I'm guessing you haven't read the books, Scorpio?
Third, all wands are different. None are better or worse, Perfect Cell.
Fourth, A black panther, Emme888?
And last, I must agree with terra. You should increase your bio's some.

[Ellerby]

[size=1][b]Actually! I have. I just use Fox for short. So mleh! :p Anymore comments should be sent by PM might I add. (Except Terra... i think)[/b]

[Onix]

Name: Zi Zhou
Age: 11
Year: 1st
Gender: Female
House Preference: Either Gryffindor of Ravenclaw.
Good/Evil: Probably Good...
Wand: Ash, 8in., Dragon Heartstring
Pet: Instead of an Owl, she has a Raven named Yami
Personality: Zi is very shy at most times, but is very friendly once she gets to know you. She is very respectful to her teachers and her friends, at least to some teachers faces (if she doesn't like them). She also sticks up for her friends at all times.
Biography: Zi is, obiviosly, or maybe not, Professor Zhou's daughter. He has been teaching her magic since she could hold a wand, which was important for a major reason.
Zi is mute. Professor Zhou has taught her to cast spells without saying the name of the spell. She has been to St. Mungo's at least 5 times to see if her muteness can be remedied, but it is incurable. But Professor Zhou never, [i]ever[/i] favors her in class, telling her that she has to get the grades on her own. Zi isn't, actually, Professor Zhou's biological daughter, but is adopted. Professor Zhou made sure to tell her that, and she doesn't really mind. She works incredibly hard to make up for he disability. She carries around a magic tablet the she can transfer her thoughts to through her wand. Also, Professor Zhou has trained her in some, if not most, martial arts.
Appearance: Zi is slim, and stands about 5' 2-3". She has natural violet hair (or so we think) and has smokey blue eyes. She, too, prefers not to wear her hat. She wears her hair in a pony-tail, more often than not, and prides herself on how beautiful it is (which it is), though she tries to be modest. When not wearing her robes, she usually wears jeans and blue, black, or purple shirts.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Professor Zhou keeps his wand in a sword sheath. He states that Dumbledoor convinced him to leave his sword in his quarters, at least while teaching. Oh, and he's not afraid to say Voldemort, and, like Dumbledoor, often tries to convince others to say it.

[terra]

Many thanks to those of you who have edited or added to your biographies.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, but don't worry -- coming back Monday :). We'll start the RPG then. Until then, feel free to continue signing up.

EDIT: A second signup for myself --

Name: Alan Nitamorin
Age: 14
Year: 4th
Gender: M
House Preference: Slytherin
Good/Evil: Evil
Wand: whatever
Pet: a sleek black (female) cat named Pearl
Personality: Alan is very intelligent, but not particularly talkative. Though he privately dislikes most of his teachers, he doesn't show it often -- instead, he's extremely polite with the occasional nasty zing disguised with his charming tone of voice. He's a bit of a mystery, really.
Biography: Alan does well in most of his classes, though he has a special talent with Potions. He isn't the type to strike you as enjoying Quidditch much, but he shows up to every game, though he never cheers or shows much emotion at them. He's dated a few girls, all of them older and in Slytherin, but his relationships never lasted longer than a couple of weeks. His friends are all Slytherins and he doesn't hide his dislike for Gryffindor, though he doesn't do anything overt towards them either.
Appearance: Alan is tall for his age, and rather thin. Though he doesn't play Quidditch, he does go running or exercise every day, and it shows. He has dark hair and eyes, and his face would almost be described as beautiful, unexpectedly delicate against his strong figure.

[Onix]

Since no one else has made a Dark Wizard, or even a bad guy, I will.
Name: Professor Kamarin Konoran
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Wand: 10in., Ash, Basilisk Skin
Position: Potions, maybe Slytherin Head?
Good/Evil: Evil
Personality: Kamarin is nasty. He makes Snape seem like Dumbledor. He's even worse than Professor Umbridge (from Order of the Phoenix). He's always calm, like Professor Zhou, but he is never nice. He always looks for an excuse to publicly humiliate someone.
Biography: Little at all is known about Kamarin. He, too, is an Oriental Wizard. In fact, he was a teacher at Professor Zhou's school, the Japanese school that I'll name when I can find my Japanese-English Dictionary. He has followed Professor Zhou to Hogwarts. He especially dislikes Zi, bullying her more than any other, and anyone who associates with her in class.
Appearance: Kamarin is short, about 5'5". He, like all my characters, hates wearing a hat. He wears his hair in a top-knot. He is very pale, but doesn't look old. He has vivid green eyes. He wears his black robes at all times.

There. A bad guy at last. And I have more. Lots more characters. Let me know if you need some.

[Tix]

I think Terra arrived from vacation so we'll soon start this RPG...
