Hogwarts: A New Era(OOC, Signups, OPEN)

[United States of Cascadia]

Harry only learned that spell in his forth year and that was accelerated because of the tournament. It's definitely not first year magic.

Harry learned that spell as part of his regular lessons. The tournament only forced him to practice harder.

Meh, I think the point is it took him till his fourth year to learn it.

[Tomia]

True, I should say his ability to preform it was accelerated because of the tournament. This still occurred in the fourth year though and certainly doesn't make the case that a first year student would be able to preform the spell.

Name: Thomas Faust
Age: 15
Year(For a student only): 5
House(order the four houses from favorite to least favorite. I'll try to give you your first or second choice): Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryfindor, Slytherin
Wand Type: Maple wood with a Phoenix feather
Pet(Name, Type, Description): A ferret named Percy.
Quidditch Position(Team, Position): Team captain (if possible), chaser
Blood-status: Halfblood
Family: His 3 older sisters Emily (19), April (19), Ashton (21)Also his mother (non-magic), and his father(Magic) whom left the house when Thonas was born.
Personality: Thomas is known throughout his house, for being able to avoid heavy injury from his many misadventures and walk away completely unscathed. Even after running down a soaped corridor floor into a wall, he was alright. With this said, most people simply avoid Thomas. But, he's made 3 good friends whom he does just about everything with.
Appearance: TBD
History: Thomas was born in the city, and always loves tall buildings and cramped spaces. This led to a fear for large spaces however, so he spends most of his free time in his room. Thomas's life was fairly boring up until his first year at hogwarts. There, he met a few new friends, scared a few people, and lost his sense of care causing a complete disregard for his own safety. He can commonly be found in his room or in detention.
Interests: When not having misadventures, Thomas enjoys writing about them in books then hiding them in the library under the name "Luke" for the other students to find.
Strengths: Strong Relations, and disregard for death.
Weaknesses: Bad social skills, disregard for death, fear of open spaces, and how his peers view him.

My two older characters are probably the least exciting ones, but meh, whatever.

Name: Mist Swinton
Age: 11, birthday February 3rd
Year(For a student only): 1st
House(order the four houses from favorite to least favorite. I'll try to give you your first or second choice): Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin
Wand Type: Alder with phoenix feather core, eleven inches, slightly springy
Pet(Name, Type, Description): Tiny, Elf Owl, and I think the picture describes it the most. Rather friendly little owl that doesn't seem to get moody very often, but it has its moments. The owl is a male.
Quidditch Position(Team, Position): None, she's new to the school.
Blood-status:Pureblood
Family: Sabastien Swinton and Aurora Swinton, her parents, who raised her well and let her do her own thing, which helped her become who she is today. Though her parents aren't nearly as strange as she is, so she obviously didn't develop that from her. But they were both people who went to Hogwarts, and they met each other there and married after leaving Hogwarts, eventually following that with having a child, her. And now she was old enough to go there herself. Due to her parents being magical, she pretty much grew up on magic, as well.
Personality: She's a bit of an oddball. You could say that she had a unique outlook on life, and everything about it. She can find entertainment and enjoyment out of almost anything, and seems to be fascinated with new discoveries of all sorts. But odd or not, she also appears to be quite friendly to others around her, while being her strange self doing whatever it is that she feels like doing. She seems to be the type that ends up choosing her friends somewhat selectively, but so do people with her. But when you become her best friend, she can certainly be a fun and interesting person to be around who likes to go on these sorts of adventures.
Appearance:

History: Mist was born in England, and lived there her whole life until now when she was heading to Hogwarts. She lived in the forest, wandering the woods by herself and with her friends for many years. She loved nature, so having her parents live in a forest was very nice for her. Beyond her developing a strange personality and growing up in a forest, there really isn't much to say about her. She got a letter for Hogwarts, which excited her because her parents had been there as well. Other then that, she grew up with magic pretty much, but for the most part her family kept their magic to a minimum because of where they lived. Still, she saw a fair amount of magic as she grew up, because of them living in the woods and being able to get away with doing magic and not getting caught. It was quite an enjoyable existence for her.
Interests: I'm not really sure I can say that she has specific interests or anything. She's kinda just interested in...stuff. Anything, really.
Strengths: Her ability to think about the world in strange ways, which might be beneficial in certain circumstances. Can't really think of any other strengths.
Weaknesses: Her curiosity, most likely. Can't really think of any other weaknesses

Name: Agatha Amalric
Age: 14, birthday May 28th
Year(For a student only): 4th
House(order the four houses from favorite to least favorite. I'll try to give you your first or second choice): Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw
Wand Type: Fir with dragon heartstring core, twelve and a half inches, rigid
Pet(Name, Type, Description): Pantaliamon, Ferret. The ferret is a female ferret, so it is fairly small. As you would expect from a ferret, it is quite the mischievous little thing, always getting into trouble. Just like her owner seems to do. They act like one in the same almost.
Quidditch Position(Team, Position): Nothing
Blood-status: Muggle-Born
Family: Brian Amalric and Emily Amalric are her parents, and her older brother is Matthew Amalric. Apparently they decided to be more interesting name-wise when it came to their daughter.
Personality: You could say that she is a bit of a brat, in a sense. Not completely, but she certainly has an attitude quite often. She isn't typically afraid to speak her mind if she doesn't like something, though may not be entirely blunt about it. Because of this, she has a bit of a rebellious attitude, seeming to hate being told what to do by others. This has unsurprisingly got her into some trouble with her parents before, but she's managed to for the most part contain her hatred of being told what to do when it comes to things she SHOULD do, like specific chores. Or being told what to do in a class. A general summary of her personality is that she is pretty much a teenager. She's also the most likely to probably break the rules out of my characters in this RP, as well
Appearance:

History: Agatha is a bit of a gothic girl, preferring dark clothes and dark make-up over anything else, but not over the top like some people like it. She doesn't seem to particularly get along with her family very well anymore, if she ever truly did, so going away for most of the year, never to see her parents until next summer never really bothered her. She doesn't exactly hide the fact that she doesn't care for her family much, because she barely ever writes letters to them throughout the entire duration of the school year. This distaste for her family grew stronger over the years, as well, instead of her distance away from her family making her like them more. As she grew into a teenage girl, it became ever more notable.

She was a fairly powerful Witch at Hogwarts, doing quite well in her classes over the years. She seemed to do better at classes than actually making any friends at the school, but that didn't mean she didn't have any friends at all, because she certainly did. Just not very many, and she typically preferred to do her own thing without others, anyway. Think that pretty much sums things up with her...
Interests: Getting up to no good, learning as many different spells as possible, and other stuff I probably can't think of that is noteworthy
Strengths: Her bravery when it is needed, strong-willed to keep going when things are looking bad, and loyal to the friends or family she is closest to (And apparently she isn't loyal to any of her family). Can be the type to take leadership if needed
Weaknesses: Her moodiness, most likely. Might get a little careless with her bravery and over confidence. Doesn't seem to do terribly well with people until she gets to know them more. Her being the type that is fine with being a leader is also a downside for her, because at times when she has taken a leaderly stance, she seems to enjoy bossing others around a little too much sometimes, making her being leader also a weakness and a strength at the same time.

Name: Holly Desjardins
Age: 16, 16, birthday November 6th
Year(For a student only): 6th
House(order the four houses from favorite to least favorite. I'll try to give you your first or second choice): Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin
Wand Type: Fir with unicorn hair core, fourteen and a quarter inches, unbending
Pet(Name, Type, Description): Gandalf, Eurasian Scops Owl (The one in the front). A bit of a moody male owl, but overall seems to be fairly well behaved.
Quidditch Position(Team, Position): Seeker
Blood-status: Half-Blood
Family: Molly Desjardins and Garry Desjardins. A single child, like most of my characters ever.
Personality: She can pretty much be summed up by being described as a very ordinary teenage girl. I'd say that she is nice, but not overly nice. Friendly, but not overly so. Social, but not overly so, and so on. Pretty much middle ground in everything.
Appearance:

History: As described before, she's a pretty normal teenage girl who happened to get to go to Hogwarts when she was younger, and has been going every year since. She's someone who is actually attached to her parents, but manages to avoid getting too homesick from being away from them. While at school through the years, she got into the Quidditch team for her house as a Seeker, and has been doing Quidditch since. Beyond that, she did lots of studying, read lots of books, made some friends, stuff like that. Really no specific highlights in her existence to mention. Just a fairly successful student.
Interests: Reading books, studying, and Quidditch.
Strengths: She's so middle ground I can't even think of any specific strengths...
Weaknesses: She's so middle ground I can't even think of any specific weaknesses...

So who were all the 6th years? Maybe since there's not a lot of 6th year students if I recall, they should automatically all be friends since they've been around longer than the others

[Fortiland]

Name: Mira Isobel McGonagall
Age: 14
Year(For a student only): 4
House(order the four houses from favorite to least favorite. I'll try to give you your first or second choice): Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin
Wand Type: Birch, 10 1/2 Inches, Very Flexible, Excellent for Transfiguration
Pet(Name, Type, Description): a Tawny Owl name Ean (pronounced like "Ian")
Quidditch Position(Team, Position): Chaser
Blood-status: muggle born or half blood -- depending on how you look at it
Family: Great granddaughter of a Presbyterian Minister named Robert McGonagall and his witch wife, Isobel. Her grandfather, Malcolm - a wizard and brother of former Hogwarts Headmistress, Minerva - married a muggle woman and their son, Tristan is Mira's father.
Personality: Very bright and spirited, Mira is intelligent and athletic, though she can be easily distracted, forgetful, and sometimes lazy. A somewhat typical under achiever. Very laid back and fun, she's a fierce friend and very social/outgoing/extroverted.
Appearance: Tall and lanky. Starting to grow out of her gawky phase into a lovely young woman. Auburn hair that's brown in the winter and dark red in the summer, deep brown eyes, light skin and a few freckles on her nose and cheeks.
History: Despite the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and having a muggle mother and muggle/squib father, Mira has known about the wizarding world her entire life. The last four generations of McGonagall's has been nearly evenly split between magical and non-magical members and being the close knit (and well regarded in both worlds) clan that they are, they wouldn't dream of keeping this information from each other or allowing it to affect their family unity. Mira grew up outside of London but her parents are from Cathiness, Scotland. Her grandfather, Malcolm, has been known to visit her in Hogsmeade on the weekends she is there.
Interests: Qudditch! A supporter of the Banchory Bangers, though she's a fan of former Chudley Cannon, Ginny Potter. Loves to read fiction and listen to Muggle pop music.
Strengths: Determination, Intelligence, Athleticism, Loyalty
Weaknesses: Lazy, Stubborn, Quick Tempered

[Terintania]

Wait, how does James know how to charm a box? He's a first year, just going to Hogwarts. Wizard books or not, I imagine that he'd need an older wizard to do it for him.

Never said the charms worked, after all not like you can see a charm, therefore it is really just guess work as to if they function right.
