Hogwarts: [OOC/Sign-Up/Closed]

[Revlona]

Is self-transfiguration ok? Or would that be to close to being an animagi? According to the wiki, it sounds like an advanced form of transfiguration magic taught to sixth years at Hogwarts (and I think sooner at the African school) that allows one to change a part of, or the whole of, their form into another form. They can probably do so at will with body gestures, rather than a wand if trained at the African school.

It is still a 6th year magic, and we have a rule for no more transfers, so you didn't get taught at the african school

[Skylus]

Too soon for that stuff dude. Also I think we're not allowing any more transfers.

We aren't

We aren't but his app said he was originally at Hogwarts. There is a precedent for transferring out of Hogwarts and returning, such as Madi and Adam and to a certain extent Freya.

My biggest issue was the self transfiguration.

Well the problem I have is that it seems that he is purposefully transferring out in order to get a leg up in magic over others

Yeah I get that. It was an issue I had with Erwin, as well.

Removing self transfiguration should rectify that

Ok, I can do that. Looking it up on the website it seems that human transfiguration is part of the sixth year curriculum anyway. Unless, it is decided otherwise I suppose. Would keeping wandless magic be ok? Or would you prefer that be removed as well?

Here is a link to Wandless magic.

Here is a link to nonverbal, but I think with a wand, taught in sixth year Hogwarts charm class.

We've begun teaching wandless magic.

As for non verbal, that's a grey area.

I think non verbal has been used a few times, certainly by Celene.

We've used it for convenience, it hasn't technically been taught

Neither nonverbal nor wandless has really been taught in classes yet. I decided to have my character start learning how to do wandless magic around fourth year, but I was careful to not use powerful spells with it.

Part of us running this rp was always keeping an eye on everyone and telling them what they can and can't use when it comes to magic. It was usually to be expected, and just about all of the new players ended up using something ridiculously powerful at least once (take first years casting sectumsempra for example). As the school years go by we've expanded on what everyone can use. It keeps everyone on a relatively equal playing ground.

That being said, and I've advised this a couple times in the past, look up the spells or techniques on the wikia before using them in a post. It sometimes tells you which school year they are taught in.

Celene's very long-lasting shield charm is her speciality, so I sort of assumed it didn't require her repeating 'protego' under her breath all the time

[Skylus]

Holy.

SHIT.

[Miekzhemy]

Aaaand that's a wrap.

Standby for sixth year everyone. We'll have that up soon enough

[Cainesland]

My app is almost ready. I should have it ready to go by tomorrow. I think the main thing left is themesong, and making sure the bio seems ok, and adding a last name if need be. Do I need to include a list of spells known, spell preferences, pets, and/or classes that have been taken in the past or are taking in year 6?

If it helps, this is what it looks like so far:

Name: Merlin
Gender: M
Age: 16
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Blood status: Muggle
House (future house): Ravenclaw
Patronus (Optional): Acromantula
Views (Blood ideology, optional):
Fears: Heights, Fire
Likes and Dislikes:
Likes: Magic, History, chess, kind people, effort,
Dislikes: Math
Personality: Merlin is someone who likes to explore his surroundings and become familiar with it. He is a friendly person who enjoys learning and helping others.
Brief Backstory:
Merlin was born in England, 16 years ago. His Dad was the permanent secretary of the department of foreign affairs. Growing up, Merlin attended a muggle school, as well as attended extra curricular activities in the form of scouts and naval cadets. He would often spend the summers on his grandparents farm, helping around the farm and occasionally playing by the stream. When he was 10 he accidentally turned the pin the tail on the donkey poster, into a real donkey, causing quiet the stir at the birthdays party. Fortunately, it was only temporary, but the flare for transfiguration magic caught the attention of the quill and book, and when he turned 11 he received his invitation to Hogwarts.

In his first year at wizarding school, Merlin was sorted into his house. In his case the hat had trouble between RavenClaw, because of his intelligence, and Hufflepuff, because of his hardworking honest and loyal nature, but eventually the hat decided decided on Ravenclaw. He did well in his studies, particularly in his transfiguration and history of magic classes. In the proceeding years he spent a year attending various institutions.

His second year at a wizarding school was spent in Beaxbatons. During his time at Beauxbatons, he was assigned to the Rouerie house. He was able to get to know a few of his instructors - who helped him develop his skills in potion making and herbology, and his classmates. The school had a band as well and he got involved by trying to learn to play the harpsichord.

In his third and fourth year of attending wizarding schools he was in the Uagadou school of witchcraft and wizardry in Africa. There he honed his magic talents in transfiguration further, and took electives in runes and the care of magical creatures. He learned how to perform wandless magic, how to speak with animals and magical beasts, and learned about many of the natural and magical beasts of the world, with one of his favourites being the acromantula.

In year 5 he returned to Hogwarts. During his 5th year he continued to do well in his classes, and learned that his Patronus was an Acromantula. He fought in the battle at the end of the year, leaving a few enemies encased in webs (from his spells) for others to interrogate or finish off as required.
Theme (Optional):
RP example:
Merlin sat down on the red cushion of the Hogwarts express. Rain poured down on the window next to him, but through the soaked glass he could make out the platform. There were a few people standing upon it, but most had boarded already. He remembered the first time he tried to come to Hogwarts. How he had been perplexed at the thought of running full speed at a brick wall, and how that would help him enter a world of magic witches and wizards. A world of dreams? Maybe, but probably not of witches and wizards. That was nearly 6 years ago perhaps. A lot had happened since then. He had attended classes, joined an orchestra, seen France and Africa, and fought in a battle. It had been an exciting 5 years. He was looking forward to his next year at Hogwarts.

No, it should be the same as everyone else.

Change the title to closed, people. Oh wait.

[Miekzhemy]

Sixth Year is now live

As of now, applications have been closed. Those that are currently editing or have WIP applications will be allowed to finish them. Any questions should be TG'd to either me, Brit, or True Christopia. Preferably Brit though

To all players, you may post whatever you wish in terms of your characters' summer vacations, so have fun and get some interaction in for now. Our first time skip will be to the opening feast in the Great Hall, so stay tuned

No, he said that apps would be closed as soon as the opening post for year 6 was posted.
