This RP is the backstory for one of my school RP characters, Professor Doyle Branxton. I find it intriguing that he was a Slytherin, yet he was very much the goody two shoes. I'm guessing he was placed in Slytherin due to his ambition but, I really don't know all that much about him and would like to explore his history a bit more. I get to know my characters best through RPing with others so, I hope some of you will join me in the RP. Since this RP will take place slightly after the time of Harry Potter, I'm looking for mostly made-up characters, though some of the professors may or may not still be around (we can decide those details later as I don't anticipate the professors playing major roles).

The year is 2035 (39 years after Harry & Voldemort perish in their epic battle of good versus evil). It is Doyle Branxton's final year at Hogwarts and he is Head Boy. Interestingly enough, it is also the final year for a Hufflepuff girl (Nora Leiden) and a Gryffindor boy (Kobus Hendrik).

Note for those who follow the school RP: Zizhen would be a second year, Devine would be a first year, Hutchinson would be a 3rd year, and Yarns would be a fifth year.

I'm not sure how this RP will play out since it's a simple plot: Doyle's life and friends in his seventh year. I suspect he had several close friends and they didn't necessarily all have to be in Slytherin house. This probably caused some contention between himself and his housemates so, there's room for people to chose whether they want to be a friend or foe. Remember, he's a Slytherin, but he is rather prim and proper (or maybe that's just what we think

)

Please don't be intimidated. I'm hoping to include some regular members in this RP, not just my staff buddies, though I'm sure they're going to join up (or, I hope). So, jump in if you'd like to play along. If you'd like to join but, are having trouble coming up with a character, post anyway and we'll work something out.

Name: Doyle Branxton
Year: 7th
Birthdate: March 8, 2018 (so he's 17 at the start)
Favorite Classes: Potions & History of Magic
Least Favorite: Charms
Activities: Head Boy
House: Slytherin

Looks: Doyle is six feet tall with black hair and blue eyes. He is a medium build and wears glasses. His appearance is always neat and tidy and it's a wonder he can even come out of herbology looking spic n' span.

Personality: Doyle is calm and quiet. He has a few close friends. Most people mistake his quiet, thoughtfulness for being shy. Despite this seeming shyness, he is well suited to prefecting though, he would prefer to listen in silence rather than participate in scuffles and arguments. He is very studious, excelling in all his classes, even though he doesn't particularly like charms (I'm not sure why not, yet). I see Doyle as being rather Percy-ish when it comes to his duties as head boy and being respected as such, though he's not quite as stuck up as Percy tends to come off.

History: There was some muggle blood a few generations back in Doyle's family, but there are few wizarding families without such interminglings at some point so, for all intents and purposes, he is a pureblood. Doyle was always interested in seeing how things worked, even as a young child. He displayed the typical signs of magical abilities in his youth and was, of course, given admission to Hogwarts.

It took him a while to make friends since he was sorted into Slytherin house and had seemingly nothing in common with his housemates. Despite efforts on the staff's part to promote inter-house relations, the other three houses were still wary of anyone in Slytherin house. Most of his friendships were formed with people from other houses, causing a further rift between Doyle and his housemates. Despite this rift, he was given the post of prefect in his fifth year, a duty he took to heart.

He is now a rather ambitious seventh year student and head boy to boot. He has aspirations of gaining employment with the Ministry of Magic and, as such, is studying hard for his NEWTs.

"Too right!" Brennan gave her a pinch before lapsing into silence. "We need to figure out what our plan is and what the ultimate goal is. Branxton isn't easily influenced, but he does seem to be victim to a pretty face. We have to figure out what we want so we know what Kailee can ask for."

Now, we've lost quite a lot of time already after that girl kept you from your duties, so I think it would be best for us to patrol alone for the next half hour before making sure the students are ready to disembark."

"Actually, speaking with Sommers was part of my duty but, I agree. Patrolling alone would allow us to cover more ground in a quicker fashion. I'll see you when we're ready to alight," he said and turned to start his patrol in whatever direction it was he turned before she changed her mind and wanted to patrol together.

Clara stuck her head full of blonde curls out of her compartment. "Overly elated kiss, says you?" She'd already written it down, of course. Her glasses were a deep shade of red as she stepped out into the corridor again. She offered a hand to Nora, " I didn't get to congratulate you properly."

Cassirin · 07-16-2006, 10:30 PM

Nora watched Doyle depart before she turned back to eye Clara. She ignored the hand offered as if it didn't exist, choosing instead to cross her arms across her chest. "I saw you with Doyle earlier, and I know what you're trying to do. He doesn't like girls like you. You can do whatever you want, but he won't fall for your tricks."

Mad Eye Touz · 07-16-2006, 10:38 PM

Clara's smile went wide. Dangerously wide. Her quill went to her mouth as she ran the words through her head a few times. You can do whatever you want, Clara thought. That, she would. "Girls like me? I don't think I am catching your insinuation, my dear. Would you like to elaborate on that statement a little?" Quill was at the ready.

Cassirin · 07-16-2006, 10:51 PM

Nora looked up and down the corridor, her posture relaxing. "I have work to do, Miss Belle. I suggest you go get your school robes on and prepare for the train to arrive. I'd appreciate it if you could let people know we're getting closer to Hogwarts."

Mad Eye Touz · 07-16-2006, 10:52 PM

"I'd appreciate you embellishing on the aforementioned comment," Clara sounded back. No Hufflepuff was going to talk to her that way, Head Girl Badge or no.

Cassirin · 07-16-2006, 11:16 PM

"I don't answer to you," Nora's tone was that of an adult talking to a very simple toddler. "Now why don't you take your quill and parchment and go off somewhere else. I'm patrolling the train." She threw her strawberry blonde curls over her shoulder and turned away from Clara.

Mad Eye Touz · 07-16-2006, 11:21 PM

"New Head Girl has porcupine lodged in rear area. Very irritant and irrational. May be infectious, so stay clear peers. " Clara spoke the words as she wrote them down. "As far as I can tell, your Head Girlness, you are not patrolling the train but instead loitering and insulting the very people you were put in charge of." Clara tapped her glasses with her quill and cocked her head at Nora. What a piece of art she was.

Cassirin · 07-16-2006, 11:30 PM

"Five points from Slytherin, and I suggest you not question my leadership style. I didn't take you for one of those who would be rabidly jealous of those in power. Poor darling Doyle... do you like him at all, or are you just trying to get back at him for being successful? I mean... you could have friends and even get a boyfriend if you simply tried a little." She gave Clara a pitying look.

Mad Eye Touz · 07-16-2006, 11:36 PM

"Merlin!" Clara gasped. "Do you have me pegged or what!?!" Clara put a hand to her forehead. "I'm so green with envy I can hardly see straight. I dream of being in a place of utmost power like you, Nora. I dream of being able to cling to the side of Doyle Branxton in the hardest of jobs known to adolescent wizards and witches alike! Oh, won't you take me under your wing and let me be your assistant? Oh, please Nora, have mercy on my poor soul!" Clara's straightened up after her dramatic show and tried very, very hard not to laugh.

She was tempted not to take it, remembering her thoughts earlier. But, as if acting on a whim, she grabbed it.

"Joana. Joana Johnson." She said as she shook his hand. "Its nice to meet you."

Joana didn't even reconize her own voice it was so meek and timid. When usually it was low and chilling.

Lorcan smiled, realizing she was reluctant. He was used to people reacting like this and he couldn't blame them. "It's alright Joana," he said. "I won't hurt you."

It didn't seem like she had friends around. This was the kind of person he liked to get to know better, becuase they almost always came within his group of friends. The one exception had been Branxton.

Cassirin · 07-16-2006, 11:59 PM

Nora patted Clara on the head. "I'm sorry, my dear, but I'm much too busy to help an impossible cause. I shall attempt to throw a few tidbits of assistance to you throughout the year," she offered, considering that to be quite a good deal. "But leave dear Doyle alone. He's suffered enough, and he doesn't need to be saddled with someone who doesn't truly care for him." Nora tilted her head to the side and patted Clara's head again. "I think it's your hair, dear."

"Are you saying i'm good company? are you flirting with me Matthew?" Crystal teased the younger boy. "We have only just met!" Crystal winked at him. "I am doing Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Divination, yourself?"

Mad Eye Touz · 07-17-2006, 12:07 AM

"Let's leave dear Doyle out of this, shall we? Or is that you, the Head Girl, have already laid claim to him? Deary me. I should have considered that before accepting the date he asked me out on. Oh well. Too late now, I suppose." Clara laughed off-handedly and removed the girl's hand from her hair. "Let's keep our hands to ourself, Ms. Leiden. I'd hate for those hands to be tainted with my lost cause dirt."

"I'm sorry." Joana said as she looked at him. "I don't have much friends. In fact I don't have any friends at all I just moved here." Joana confessed as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"What house are you in?" She said as she made quotation marks with her fingers to show emphasis. "I was sorted to before I got onto the train and made it into Ravenclow...or is it Raisnclaw. I don't remember, I don't even know what that means." Joana said as she shurgged.

Doyle walked down the aisle and peeked into compartments as he went, giving some warnings to those who were not yet ready with their uniforms and waking others so they wouldn't miss disembarking. He came to one compartment and opened it to find Cooper and his gang. He blushed slightly when he saw Sommers and took off his glasses to clean them. "We'll be arriving soon so, you may want to don your school clothes," he told the compartment.

Leeness · 07-17-2006, 12:32 AM

Word got round the train that they were to be arriving at Hogsmeade Station soon. "Well I must go get ready and such. Speak to you soon? bye!" Crystal said blowing him a kiss and then heading to the compartment Coop and company were in. She had left her bags in here from the beginning of the train ride. She removed her school robes and put them on, fixing her pigtails after she had done so. "Anything interesting happen whilst I was gone?" she asked those in the compartment.

Cassirin · 07-17-2006, 12:33 AM

"Yeah, Branxton, thanks," Brennan slid Kailee of his lap in a hurry, nearly falling out of his seat to stand up in front of Doyle. "You know, once you finish your rounds, you should come back and sit with us. We were just discussing the class schedule, and it would be good to hear your insight on an appropriate NEWT study schedule."

Nora made an outraged noise, jerked her hand away from Clara, and headed off in search of Doyle. She had a word for him if this 2-knut hussy was going to be getting in the way of their work.

Biochemkris · 07-17-2006, 12:38 AM

"Oh... I'm not sure if I'll have time but, I will certainly keep it in mind," he said, suspicious of Cooper's invitation. He involuntarily glanced behind him at a slightly rumpled Sommers. "I'll see you all up at the school, if not before," he said before exitting.

Lissydove · 07-17-2006, 12:49 AM

"Sure thing Doyle," Ash replied although he was already in his robes. He carefully tucked his transfiguration text back in his bag. He and Coop would be among the top NEWT students, he had it planned. "I'd like to get started on our study group when you have time, now that we mention it," he added and tried to divert some attention from Coop's near fall from the chair.

When Doyle was out of hearing, "I think we slipped there," he said to Brennan.

Emil-Owich · 07-17-2006, 12:58 AM

Emil-Owich neared his compartment. Just before he had hoped that noone was in it. But in the short walk, he had acctually changed his mind. Right now he wanted company. What had happened over summer, since he felt like this?!

Cassirin · 07-17-2006, 02:06 AM

"You're right... we have to be more careful. No more flirting with Kail. In fact, she's one of the guys from now on," he nodded sharply and looked at Kailee. "You can do this, princess. You've got the chops, and I've got the smarts. Okay, Ash has the smarts and I've got the wiles. And Clark has the brazen good looks."

Mad Eye Touz · 07-17-2006, 02:11 AM

Clara was slightly peeved as Nora stalked off. So, when peeved - go peeve others. "And what do I have, Coop?" she asked, making her self back at home into the Coop and Co. Compartment. Crystal had already made it back, she noted. Good. "Say Coop? The whole package?"

Cassirin · 07-17-2006, 02:24 AM

Brennan looked up as first Zitzburg and then Belle entered their compartment. "Ah... Zitzburg has the ability to annoy someone to the point of unconsciousness. And Belle... you have all the subtlety of a rampaging hippogryff." He grinned at them both and distanced himself from Kailee.

ooc: Sorry Leebabe... I didn't see Crystal come in, so I added her when it was pointed out to me that... we're all blind
