So, the general idea is to follow the Harry Potter stories (in general, it's gonna be AU, so some changes can happen) with the player characters starting when they receive their Hogwarts letters and go to the school, up until their last year in the school and the Battle at Hogwarts. So, disclaimers follow:

1- Original characters only. By that I mean not only no canons, but I would like people to actually create a character tailored for this story. This will make things easier when it comes to blending into the story. Canon characters will all be NPC's.
2- You can have a teacher or staff character as an additional, but you must have a student character - this is the one who will be your main character, and this student will have more attention than the teachers.
3- Characters will be sorted into their houses IC, through a sorting test, keep that in mind. I will PM each participant the questions of the test.
4- All students will start at 11, no exceptions. Professors can be any age starting 25.
5- Beta standards apply, in length, grammar and spelling. I do encourage people to strive for more involved posts, but as long as they are within standards, they're fine.
6- Interaction is important, so if I see two characters only interacting with each other even when others interact with them, I may get involved to encourage them to be more responsive to other interactions.
7- Deadline will probably be of a week per poster, and we'll have a posting order so we don't get lost with everyone waiting for someone else to post. Should anyone need more time to post, please communicate and we can wait.
8- Characters should be built realistically. I'll read each CS carefully, especially when it comes to personality and flaws, and ask for changes if needed.

This is seriously an answered prayer. I've always wanted something like this to happen. I'm super excited!

Take all the time you need, though. You can't rush something as perfect as this.

All right, the questions for the selection test are up on the first post. Please do PM me with them before you post your character sheets, and wait for me to answer, will you? I'll try not to keep you waiting for long. I should have my character up over the weekend.

I felt this seemed topical xD though yours is actually good! I'll work on it today. We are answering them from the character's perspective, correct? Sorry if that seems a silly question. I might want to take it for myself!

LMAO I did do a lot of poking around for it, because a lot of the ones I found were a lot like this picture. And yes, sorry, should have added it. From the character's perspective. XD

Picture (optional - if not provided, see below - human pictures only):
Image
Image
Description: Gallus is a short, thin boy, wearing proper clothes and robes with his hair combed carefully, but only if someone told him to. He walks with a springy gait, his hands often in his pockets which gives him a slight slouch. He tends to squint when focusing or casting a spell, giving him the nickname "Squinty".
Full Name: Gallus Quintus Greenbottle
Nickname(s), if any: Gali, Squinty
Age: 11
House: Ravenclaw
Race: perceived full-blood, true half-blood
Wand: Acacia and unicorn hair, 12 1/8 inches, smooth and light
Pet, if any: Peter the long-hair grey tabby
Additional skills, if any: jazz hands, broomstick riding, writing and calligraphy
Personality: Gallus is an overconfident and enthusiastic fellow, leading to all sorts of trouble when he inevitably fails from time to time. He becomes embarrassed easily, and doesn't like being left out. This does lead him to be a very inclusive person. Gallus relies largely on instinct to make decisions and form opinions, and tends to overlook the facts. Because of this, he can be somewhat gullible.
Family: father Barnabas Greenbottle, mother unknown, stepmother (perceived biological mother) Daedris Greenbottle, sisters Aurelia, Mabel, Damia, and Evangeline Greenbottle
Background from birth to the current moment: Gallus is from a full-blood family strongly rooted in wizard culture, and as the only son and youngest child, much was put on his shoulders from a young age. He was expected through the Greenbottle tradition to begin preparing for wizarding school at age five, taking lessons on magic theory, writing, and herbology and magical beasts from a private tutor. He preferred not to pay much attention during these lessons, and would rather pester his sisters, watch his "da" work, and practice on his toy broomstick. When he was 9, Gallus was playing in the garden when he heard his tutor shout at his father and call him (Gallus) a "bastard". Gallus asked his father what it meant, but was rebuffed and chastised for listening in. A new tutor was hired, whom Gallus liked immensely, and worked hard to impress, finally taking an interest in the foundations. His magic abilities were often spawned from his imagination, like accidentally turning the family cat blue, or causing him to float into the air unexpectedly, growing wings from his ears. During his Hogwarts supply trip with his father, Gallus was told by his father that he was a Greenbottle no matter what, and that he should always remember that.
Misc: Gallus has a mild blue-yellow colourblindness, and an Irish accent.

So, does the shady lady have any plans for our year, or is it currently sandbox-y?

Vague plans, I plan on starting on them receiving the letters, so it will give me time to do some planning over the weekends and keep working so we don't just float around. XD
