Harry Potter Application and Refinement Thread

[King Acunasti]

So how many are needed before we start?

[POMC S117]

We'll wait for two more people. But we also have to think of new ideas as well, so it'll vary. I'll inform you when we do start.

[videogmer314]

I've updated my profile.

[Jcnator]

If there are no female characters. My character is getting an operation.

[POMC S117]

That's fine. We are still in the production stage. Any changes you want to make are allowed.

So yeah... I'm not a hardcore expert or anything. I've only read the book series once (A few years ago). See the movies when it's Harry Potter weekend on ABC. But I have GOOGLE!

[POMC S117]

That's good, however, some people can be a natural anamagi, it's rare though.

Matt, you're forgetting an extra skill. Wand handling, and you have 175 points to dish out. You only used 150.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Edited. Also, I'll still be training. Maybe achieve it by the second year.

[POMC S117]

Okay!

We Will Be Starting Soon! Hopefully, Matt And The Other Mods Will Be Kind Enough To Keep This Thread Open For A While, Until We Have Finalised The Way In Which The Game Will Work!

[King Acunasti]

Well, I've got an idea for the plot.

What if the Muggle world discovers the existance of Wizards and a war between the Muggles and Wizards begins?

[POMC S117]

That would be good. Matt, we could weave this in with the plot that we were talking about.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

That's good, but no offense, King, you're so set in modern warfare! I like Harry Potter for, you know, it's magic/fantasy aspect.

[POMC S117]

Me too. But, we'll decide this as we progress in the story.

[King Acunasti]

Dude, do you know how awesome it would be to see paratroopers landing in Hogwarts?

[POMC S117]

I think that they would be killed instantly by wizards on broomsticks.

[King Acunasti]

But Muggles outnumber Wizards greatly. I don't know, man. It think it would be pretty damn awesome.

[Jcnator]

Ahem. BOMBARDA!

Wizard vs muggles just doesnt sound Harry Potter style. Weren't the two great wars fought against the death eaters because they thought that muggles should be exterminated?

[POMC S117]

Okay, no more spam. I don't want this to be locked. I'll try and keep this up for a day, and then any newcomers can add their character sheet on the actual thread.

[MARS]

I don't see why we need a plot. Surely studying magic at Hogwarts is excitement enough?

[POMC S117]

But an RP is basically a story made by many authors, and a story needs a plot. But you don't need to interact in the plot, except if it's a battle like in the last book.

[MARS]

Eh...why not shape plots ourselves? Be little wizards who learn to live? I would personally prefer to simply simulate the life of my wizard (a normal wizard life) than save the wizarding world or something. Besides, we could be students in the beginning of Hogwarts' history. Experience the strife between the founders first hand.

[VirtualWeasel]

My suggestion is an RP that starts out happy and sweet, but slowly gets worse.

[POMC S117]

That's what we are doing VW, in a way. I'll PM you on what me and Matt has conjured.

Mars, feel free to partake in your little plots, in fact, I encourage them. They make it interesting. Mars, the plots aren't going to be too major, just a few duels, maybe a murder, but no huge battles, we're keeping that for the adult Harry Potter thread. Adult being after 7th year.

[VirtualWeasel]

Are we allowed to be an Animagus?

[POMC S117]

Read the OP! You're a DM! You're setting a bad example!
