May I join as Crystal? Here is her bio so you may look it over and see if you find it suitable for the RP and the plot.

Name: Crystal
Parents: N/A
House: Phoenix, 4th year.
Hair color: Dark brown
Eye color: deep blue
Height: 5'4
School: Durmstrang Academy
Excels in: DADA and potions
Difficulty in: Charms

Bio: Crystal is a 4th year at Durmstrang who has always kept to herself, and stayed in the shadows. She has returned to Durmstrang with high spirits, hoping to interact and meet a few more people... She is pretty shy around those she does not know, but cares for the ones close to her. She has her opinions but, keeps them to herself most of the time. She has had a rough past and when it comes to a choice that will hurt someone she will do anything to keep the other person safe...

Anything else you need to know? I am also willing to change something about Crystal or you do not believe it will 'fit' with the RP.

OCC- I know how much you despise pink but it's the color I always use for my characters in RP. It seems like a short bio so I am probably forgetting something... hm... :ermsmile:

ooo... Emma, I am really tempted to hop right on board. In fact, I've already started brainstorming a character. I have a question, though. In GoF, you had to be 17 to put your name in the Goblet. Are we going to change that so our characters can put their names in, or are they going more as moral support, or have I missed the point entirely?

*wanders off, thinking about her character*


*EDIT*

Name: Alexander Oblansk
House: Bundimun, 4th year
Heritage: Pureblood
Hair: Wavy chestnut hair worn a bit long
Eyes: Cinnamon brown
Height: 6'0" (tail end of a growth spurt )
Strengths: Potions, Transfig
Weaknesses: DADA


Background:
Alexander is the nephew of the current Prime Minister of Bulgaria and has been groomed since birth for a role in the leadership of the Wizarding World. Much to the dismay of his parents and other relatives, Alexander is bookish and a bit intro-verted, being much more interested in learning and researching than in one day leading Bulgaria. He is in Bundimun, the house for learners, rather than in Chimaera, were his family typically resides. Alexander doesn't have many close friends, because many are intimidated by his so-called 'status' but he's a compassionate, intellectual boy who is still trying to figure out exactly who he wants to be.

Sorry its late. I'll post in this color.

I am new here, but on other forums I am well known for my advanced RPing, so I hope this is accepted

Name: Lara
Gender: Female
Hair: Long Mousey hair that hangs to her mid back.
Eyes: Lara’s eyes are a deep amber color.
Height: 5'2
School: Durmstrang Academy
House: Phoenix
Classes she does well in: Defense against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration.
Classes she has difficulties in: Potions.

Description: Lara is a very slim and tall character for her age. Her preferred clothing is normally dark in color, preferably black. She has many scars covering her body, for unknown reasons, most are covered by the clothing she normally wears, only one stands out and that is the one that travels from her brow to her cheek.

Personality: Lara normally comes across as the friendly and outgoing type, but around most she is shy and a very ‘keep to herself character’. When she is known well by people, they will see her as a courageous and helpful young youth, that wishes to do well in her classes and quite annoyingly cute.

Bio: This is Lara’s fourth year at Durmstrang Academy and she wishes nothing more than to do well in her school years. Along the way, she also wishes to have fun and compete in many activity’s that the school hosts and also make a few friends, but she feels that because of her Shy nature, she will fail to accomplish that last point.

You know, I just instantly realised that. But yes, I think it's best to change the rules. We can have older characters or younger, however everyone sees fit. But yeah, mine is fourth year. You can choose to be older or younger.

In the end, only one person gets picked, possibly Marcella although it does not have to be. I think it's best that the first years, Lara and Crystal go as moral support as I do think 11/12 is a bit too young for the tournament. But the RP's going to be about so much more than that and we're not restricted to the outcome of GoF either, so you're pretty much with a free rein in this RP!

The four houses are as stands (made-up by moi, feel free to suggest better ones!) with their Hogwarts counter parts

Phoenix - Gryffindor
Chimaera - Slytherin
Ashwinder - Hufflepuff
Bundimun - Ravenclaw

Marcella is, ironically, in Phoenix.

They're all named after beasts in the "Fantastic Beasts..." book. Feel free to suggest changes in them.

*

I accept both Lara and Crystal. Seeing as your both first years, it'd be good for you to stick together and be friends. Or else deadly enemies.

Please pick houses from the above lowdown and reply or add your house to the bio you've already posted up. Please let me know if you edit them in.

I hope you join Cass!

I am sorry. I can see I did not come across my bio correctly. I should probably expalin better for those who never have RPed with me before. I was going to make Crystal a trasfer from Beaxubatons going into fourth year. I can change this to that she is a first year or I can change her so she has attended Durmstrang the whole time. Whatever you think is best, it's your RP Emma. I am sorry for the confusion that was bad explaining on my part.

If you think it better, I could change my character to a fourth year to save stardancer488 the trouble of changinf her Bio, I dont mind, I could if it would be better to have all fourth years.

Okay, I know this probably has nothing whatsoever to do with your other RPs (aside from the general Marcella persona) but, I was wondering if you were going to have anything about her friends which you have already established a bit or, if the new made-ups would take their place for that?

hmm interesting. So do you prefer the all made-ups in Durmstrang?

I think it might work better if she were a first year.

You two decide between you. So long as you're in the same year (1st or 4th) it doesn't matter. Just get back to me about it.

That thought had crossed my mind, but I then decided to not use it. figured this way might be a bit more interesting. Do you want to join?

All students must be Durmstrangs, yes. Until the later stages when we're all more or less going to have to double up to take a Hogwarts student also.

So far:

Me ~ Marcella - Phoenix 4th year
Star ~ Crystal
Lupin_Wolf ~ Lara

Please get back to me on houses/years. Thanks!

Me and stardancer488 have decided to be both fourth years, I think it would be beeter as we would get to interact with more with other characters. Also I have edited my post, I am in Phoenix.

Of course I want to join. Besides, how could I deny those eyebrows?


Name: Gavin Ormand
Gender: male
House: Chimaera
Year: 4th
Hair: Black, shoulder-length, clean
Eyes: Blue
Height:5'7" (pre-growth spurt)
Strengths: Dark Arts/DADA, Charms
Weaknesses: Potions, Transfiguration

Short Biography:
The son of Voldemort supporters, Gavin grew up heavily immersed in the dark arts. He isn't sure where he stands but, he has a strong sense of loyalty to his family and seems to be following in their footsteps. Gavin isn't unliked by the other students but, he tends to keep to himself just the same.

Sobek, a silver Egyptian mau, is Gavin's constant companion. This graceful feline has a princely air about him and can often be found perched upon Gavin's shoulders.

I just had to include this pic (isn't he gorgeous?):




I will update this as the brainstorming continues but, I just wanted to get up what I have for my own, and your, benefit.

Character's Info

Name: Jared Eastley
Gender: Male
House: Bundimun
Year: Fourth

Physique: athletic
Hair: violet; spiky
Eyes: grayish-blue; sleepy
Height: 5’11”
Personalities: quiet and mysterious

Life history:
--> Somewhere in the mountains of Turkey, Jared lived with his family in a ranch where they resided with happiness and love. They helped each other and care for each other. Like his family members, he was cheerful and friendly.

But an incredibly inhumane event happened in their town, for a band of unknown priests and priestess entered, making commotion around the settlement. The worst thing that they had done was killing people.

Jared saw how his family fought and died from the hands of the merciless priests and priestess. Soon as they left, he went out of his hiding place and rushed towards the bodies of his family. By then, he became relatively quiet and strange.

((He was adapted.))

By the way, I would like to use <span style='color:darkred'>DARK RED for the charcter's post.

Edit: Jared is suffering the "Double-Face" thing that made his mood and personality swings. </span>

I'll join as a girl character, if that's alright, Emma, and if you like I can change it to a boy or play both a male and a female.

Name: Hristina Anna Dimitrov (prefers to be called by her middle name, Anna, or Ann)
House: Chimaera
Gender: Female
Year: 4th
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Long, dark brown, straight
Height: 5' 6"
Personality: Stubborn and friendly.
Bio: Anna was born to a Bulgarian witch and wizard. Her mother was in frequent contact with members of the Death Eaters, but was never one herself, or so she told Anna, who had always believed her.

EDIT: I'll be using this color for my posts.

As it stands, we have more girls than boys. So if you could play a male for starters and then perhaps bring in another (female) when they move over to Hogwarts, that would be great.

No rush on the bios for either you or Kris. Do it in your own time.

Gavin sounds awfully like Snape Kris.

Kris: I did happen to notice that. It was completely by accident, I assure you. Although... *pokes Snape in brain* he may be trying to manifest himself. That's why I added the whole thing about clean hair and he does have blue eyes- pretty much the opposite of Snape's, wouldn't you say?

Jer: OH! Well...Kris having someone with blue eyes and clean hair with the attitude of Snape. I wonder where the ideas for his personality came from?

And I shall be using this colour.

Please, Star do get back to me on the house matter and also RJ.

If any of you know any other RPers, preferably male who might want to join, please encourage them!

Emma, if you need more males, I'm willing to play one.

I'd like to join then as my character then.

Shane Smith
age/year- 14, 4th
house- Chimaera
blood- pure
wand- oak, 13', heartstring of a dragon
appearance- he has brown eyes and dark curly brown hair.
personality- He gets what he wants and when he doesn’t he tends to get all sulky. He can also be fun-loving and carefree. He easily makes friends although had a bit of a difficulty making friends outside his own house.
strengths- defense against the dark arts
weakness- transfiguration
backround- Niether one of his parents are deatheaters although they support him, not to any extreme though.
bio- This is Shane’s fourth year at Durmstrang Academy, his grades aren’t very good and that’s basically for lack of trying. He care more about his friends and social events rather then school.

Oh yes, and I like this color.

So do I have to change my house because I'm the only student in Bundnum. Or do you mean that I go and post the character's information, because I already did.

I think we should, for now, stick to one character per RPer. Thanks for the other though Erin!

Ignore me, you've already done it.

Welcome Pink Dragons!

We need preferably 3 more people - 2 male and 1 female before we start.

Emma - I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I was just considering whether you wanted me. I know that you can usually only be on during the day (my time) and I'm usually on at night. Do you still want me? I'd hate to slow things down. Let me know. By the way... my character is a male, if that makes a difference.

The reason I want so many characters is so that the story can continue when I am not around. So, yes yes yes! That's if you want to... *scares various people* Just reply with your bio and I'll add you.

*celebrates that you didn't fall off the edge of the world*

Name: Lance Dagon
Gender: Male
House: Phoenix
Year: 4th
Hair: Chestnut brown, cut short
Eyes: Dark Brown
Strengths: DADA, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures
Weaknesses: Potions, Arithmancy
Personality: Brave and Open
Height: 5'10

Personal History

Born in the outskirts of Ireland to father Arthur, Lance's mother died while giving birth to him. Lance grew up a pure-blood, racing around his broomstick and admiring his father's admirable wizarding skills. Lance's father suddenly received an urgent business call that sent them to move to Bulgaria when Lance was 10. Lance was an uncomfortable boy when he first move, and was thought of as a 'misfit'. However, when accepted into Durmstrang, everything changed. He was sorted in Phoenix and immediately made friends with the students from his house. He was a competitive student and strived to be the best that he could be. He struggled in 3rd year through Potions and Arithmancy, yet always excelled at DADA, Charms, and CoMC.

I'll post in the color that I posted this in.

Welcome aboard Jer!

Right, seeing as Cass will play a male, that means we need only one more RPer, male or female, I have no preference now. Then we shall get started, cackles.

The reason I want us all to stick to one character now is so that we can afford to double up later as respective Hogwarts characters. Otherwise, if some people already had two, they might end up with three and that'd get confusing.

Hey Emma- were you counting Touzy? She was planning on joining after she got back from vacation.
