Well I mean it just takes away from the diversity of this whole site to just be canon charries. I mean in the books only British students went to Hogwarts, and i mean that is JK choose I can't fault her for that. it just left out half the world and i would hate for this site to do that also.

But on this site we have people from all over the world, and it would be nice if they all brought their uniqueness to the RP on the site.

yeah my characters have the last name Riddle, but they are Africans who were once slaves of the Riddle family way before Voldemort was even thought of or even his mother and father were even born.

I think we should just stay away from the canon characters of the books, i mean JK gave us great recipes on how to make a Ravenclaw, or a Hufflepuff, and things like that. So we have a good blueprint to go off and create wonderful charries.
