I can't help but wonder but can armor protect you from the killing curse?

Yes, while you cannot use a shield charm to block it. A wall of steel will block it just fine.

Sometimes I wonder how wizards thought they could survive muggle tech in a war.

It's too bad that Muggle tech stopped really advancing too much even in the UFN after the War ended.

...oh, and that the T-90 was created and manufactured in 1992, which means we're a decade too early to worry about that being a thing even without the lacking advancement.

I have some secondhand descriptions of this in my app, in fact. If you can set a tank on fire from within, or call down lighting and dragons to smash fighters out of the sky, you don't have much to worry about from twentieth-century technology. This is why Allan has such scrupulous, special training and tactics. The only way to use Muggle equipment successfully against wizards is through surprise and misdirection: they cannot magically neutralize what they do not see coming. Hence the importance of car bombs and sniper attacks: the classic tools of unconventional warfare against an enemy who possesses absolute superiority of force. I'm planning to demonstrate the effectiveness of this in my first IC post.

I think that our characters are going to have some fundamental disagreements. Dumbledore, while respecting Muggles, will have no love for your violent tactics. However, since it is directed against Grindelwald and his ilk he won't object too much. It's a sacrifice he is willing to make. Although, Dumbledore will like no other understand the difficulty Allan has gone through from a young age.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Thinking about the Deathly Hallows: If I imagine it correctly, the Elder Wand is in possession of Grindelwald; the Resurrection Stone is in possession of Tom Riddle in his ring ( I don't know if Voldemort has figured out Horcruxes yet) and the Invisibility Cloak is either with James Potter or with Dumbledore, depending on where exactly we are in their story and what James Potter has done with his life.

Horcruxes will definitely be one of those things my character is keenly interested in creating.

It’s not like we’re exactly lacking in resistance prisoners to experiment with.

Immortality!

Do remember that the knowledge of Horcurxes is very arcane, very dark magic. Not something anyone would know about.

You have read my character application, yes?

If it’s lost, forbidden, esoteric, or otherwise rare knowledge, she’s interested. Especially if it comes with immortality attached.

[Danceria]

So with the Statute of Secrecy done for at least...twenty years? Could some sort of nifty coexistence occur between "Middle Class Mages (Muggleborns)/Mages that are just your average potion brewer or wandmaker" and regular humans? Can one enchant a moving vehicle? Have I unintentionally opened the gates to dieselpunk/atompunk/80s a e s t h e t i c magitek?

It will be an interesting dynamic, that's for sure. Allan will be impatient with any wizard's qualms about his tactics, since it's impossible for Muggles to resist effectively without the use of this sort of insurgent violence. Dumbledore can actually fight fair, and even nonlethally; that is not an option available to people without magic. But Allan is also thoroughly pragmatic about his allies and loyalties, and will regard any such disagreements as largely irrelevant as long as Dumbledore continues to provide material support.

APPLICATION:

Name: “Libna Mra Judith bat Thurein McIlhoyle is my full name, including religious whatsit. Grindelwald and them call my Judy, other individuals know me as Sally. My heritage and social positioning is a wild affair, you see.”
Age: “I may not look it, but I’ve been around since 1913. 68 years of age if you don’t care to do the math.”
Sex: “Whatever you want it to be, honey.”
Appearance:

“I’m frankly quite amused at the notion I stick with just one, but the reality is that I’m rather partial to changing things up. In any case, I’m still quite the looker when I want to be. If I absolutely need to be identified, I have plenty of means with which to do so. Grindelwald tends to just know, while I colour my lips or hair in a certain way to indicate my presence to less kosher folks that I might need to talk to discreetly. Most people might remark that my preferred public appearance rather resembles Elizabeth Taylor with thinner eyebrows and a rounder face, which is most certainly intentional on my part. And, of course, I change up my hair colour regularly.
Currently, I’m wearing my hair in a pink beehive with bangs. My face and body fit with my preferred public appearance, although my eyebrows are a dark pink rather than their usual color. I’m wearing a flutter-sleeved white top made of fine silk, tucked into a mint, coral, and white striped silk longyi. I’ve got velvet lace-up sandals on my feet, with matching nails. To carry my belongings, I have a small, pearly white wristlet with a convenient enchantment that allows me to store more or less anything I might want to have. Members of Grindelwald’s inner circle, including myself, seem to have an affinity for eccentric fashioned.”

For visual context, Judy resembles a mixture of these two images.

Personality:

“I’ve often been described as being eccentric more than anything else. I don’t think the average person I work with necessarily likes or dislikes me, maybe I’m a bit awkward or annoying to some, what with my quirks and all. Were I not a metamorphmagus, I don’t imagine I’d stick out to most people—I certainly wouldn’t strike them as a leader. I like to talk, when there aren’t too many people around. Perception of me as “quiet” essentially directly correlates to how many people are around. I find conversations more awkward at large gatherings; I loath going around the circle and saying our opinions even more so. I’m introverted, that’s for certain, but introverts can be more openly sociable than I. I’m a very private person—a fact which is both a great strength and a crippling problem for me depending on the situation. Grindelwald himself only seems to expect to hear from me when something goes wrong or need be reported; I don’t fuss about unnecessary details.

I absolutely keep my cards tight to my chest, but I do enjoy humour. It may be dark or poorly timed for the tastes of some, but I find mocking difficult circumstances really does take the weight out of them as far as my heart’s concerned. I suppose at this point you don’t find me the nicest person to have a cup of tea with. I wouldn’t blame you. I may be difficult sometimes, but I do like to be nice whenever possible. I only compliment things I genuinely like, and I prefer not to insult people to their face unless they strike first, but luckily the former is common and the latter is rare. I must profess though, I’m fond of the odd zinger during gossip. I’m told I’m quite clever, but getting a good one out really makes me feel it. This may sound odd considering the situation, but I earnestly dislike lying. When the nobility of the act or personal safety outweighs my objections, I suppose it’s fine. These days I guess I’m more jaded to the whole affair, since it’s been so long.”

Species: “I’m a Witch—a Metamorphmagus to be precise.”
Allegiance: “The law requires I say Grindelwald, but, between you and me, I’m not actually the traitor American media paints me as. I ought not say anything more on the matter than that those who call me Sally are friends to Dumbledore.”
Biography:

“If you’re not able to tell at this point, I’ve lived an interesting life. My family’s an interesting bunch too, you’ll find. Before I tell my own story, it’s important that I map out a family tree that creeps to all corners of the globe.

My father’s side of the family begins back in Northern Ireland, at the dawn of the colonial era. They were wizards. Purebloods, but farmers nonetheless. Europe was not a pleasant place for wizards and witches, one can remark. The Witchcraft Acts were especially difficult affairs for some. The Witchcraft Act of 1604 saw an increase of witch hunts in their neck of the woods. There hadn’t been an easy solution for most of European history until the New World brought new promises. The Virginia Company generously provided transportation for the clan. The women got away with using polyjuice potions to masquerade as men, while the men fiddled with hair colour and other minor details to as insurance.

In the infant Jamestown, it became obvious quite quickly to my forefathers that it would not be possible to discreetly carry on wizarding traditions in such close quarters, especially as polyjuice potion supplies ran thin. Conveniently, the winter provided excellent cover for the disappearances of those who needed to. The details get fuzzy for a while, but I know intermarriage with the Cherokee happened to an extent significant enough that I’ve come be conversational in their language via my father and grandfather.

That period in my family’s story comes to an end through a combination of the Second Great Awakening and Andrew Jackson’s presidency. The religious vigour and the Indian Removal Act sent my family packing. Wriggling out of the Trail of Tears was where the first big split of my family tree occurred. Around half of my family went to settle in Illinois, eventually becoming the Chicago McIlhoyles, while the side I come from left America entirely for the fertile east. The Rangoon McIlhoyles coalesced in the Irrawaddy River delta, and settled around, you guessed it, Yangoon.

At this point, I think you can guess where this goes. Intermarriage with local populations, creating the Irish-Cherokee-Bamar racial bastard branch of the family to which I belong. We haven’t been white or pureblood for centuries. The ones on that side who claim to be purebloods are either wrong, inbred, or both, in my experience. With their history, they don’t care much for Grindelwald. Those who could left and took up lodging with the Chicago McIlhoyles when Grindelwald rose, and the others have mostly remained in Rangoon and kept a low profile for fairly obvious reasons.

So that’s one side. Luckily, my mother’s side is comparatively straightforward. The Mulhouse-Villarrubias, you see, are a pureblood family of French, Alsatian, Spanish, and specks of Sicilian and Maltese heritage strewn together by Judaism. I believe the best place to place the point where they came together as a singular unit is on the island of Hispaniola. The Spanish branch hailed from the Aragonese half of the empire, and had previously coalesced from families in Barcelona, Palermo, and Valletta whose names have either been long forgotten or whose links to the family have long forgotten.

The Franco-Alsatian side came from the long contested region of Alsace, presumably from around Mulhouse, based on their surname. They came to Hispaniola when Haiti came into French hands. The two pureblood families were a match made in heaven, it seemed. They all intermarried over the years, to the extent that the family name became one hyphenated unit rather than two independent of each other. It’s rare you’ll find a pureblood Mulhouse who isn’t also a Villarrubia. To my knowledge, they’re only marginally inbred—pretty impressive for an insular pureblood family, really.

For purebloods, though, they’ve interacted fairly extensively with “progoyim”—that’s the word they have for non-jewish muggles. They call wizarding non-jews Magoyim. The area where they interacted with muggles the most was, predictably for Europeans in Haiti, the slave trade. The Mulhouse-Villarrubia plantations were burned down in the Haitian Revolution, and they moved to Louisiana. The jaunt in Louisiana came to an end during Reconstruction, as the slaves were then liberated in Louisiana as well. They continued with sharecroppers for a while, but soon sold off their possessions and travelled across the globe to Southeast Asia, where French explorers had been making inroads.

Siam became the new home of the Mulhouse-Villarrubias for a while, with a stretch of the Mekong River near to Vientiane becoming another ancestral home. A taste of Lao and Thai wizarding blood has gotten into the family, although some members prefer not to speak of it. They generally sympathise with Grindelwald, and most of them returned to Europe during the 1930s to answer his call for wizards the world over to join him.

Now that my family story has been laid out as clearly as possible, here’s my story:

I was born to Thurein McIlhoyle and Breindel Fruma bat Levi Mulhouse-Villarrubia, Thurein and Breindel for short. They met at Ilvermorny, and had me. Now there’s plenty of little details I could go into, but the important details are that I spent more time than one ought as a child tending to my mother while my father was away. She has what uvits—which is what my father’s side as well as myself often refer to muggles as—might call manic depressive disorder. I found her rather demanding as I grew up, though it’s not entirely her fault. I just value independent thought a bit more, myself. She never approved of my following of uvit culture, and I haven’t made much an effort to maintain contact since I found distance at Ilvermorny.

I don’t care to speak much more on the topic of my parents, but I might do well to speak about some other childhood experiences. I often would joke with friends at school that I was in an arranged marriage as a child. It’s a long story, but the short version is that my mother’s best friend had a child around the same time as me, and the two of us were fairly close. We would talk about marriage until my father came around one day and made a point to say that we were too young. That was enough for me to break with it, at least.

At this point, I think it’s important I touch on a rather important aspect of myself: my metamorphmageity. As with all metamorphmagi, I was born one, and will be one until the day I die. Now, as one imagines, I haven’t always looked like this—indeed, I’ve entirely revamped my appearance more than a few times. I didn’t really play much with it until I went off to Ilvermorny, as my mother in particular had her preferences regarding my appearance, and it hadn’t previously occurred to me that I might like to take on a different appearance. Of course, that’s all in the past now, as one might imagine.

My years at Ilvermorny had their highlights, as most everyone does, but I can’t say I stood out in most respects. Make no mistake—in addition to a solid academic record, I had my fair share of adolescent adventures, one might say, but such affairs aren’t distinctly important to my life story. I preformed well on my exams, and returned to Rangoon after graduation. While my mother’s family encouraged me to head to Europe as they were, I didn’t feel much inclined to, instead taking up work in Delhi for the Asian
Ministry of Magic’s Department of International Magical Cooperation. Asian, in this context, of course, refers to South Asia in particular, and was chosen in favour of using British Raj by the British Ministry of Magic—the parent Ministry of the A.M.o.M.

My polyglotism was very useful in my division, and I had reasonable skill in most other departments that I attained a strong reputation among my peers. I was originally recommended for Minister for Asian Magic in 1938, but I was, of course, rather young for the task, so I likely wouldn’t have been able to secure the position at all were it not that the Asian Ministry was both subordinate to the British Ministry and that the Asian Ministry was then regarded as something of a training ground, so many of its members were rather young. I took up official duties and status in 1944, when my predecessor retired.

With Grindelwald’s victory in Europe, the Raj’s position was put into question. Many of my fellow cabinet members wished to continue to resist the Magical Empire, but there were a few loyalists to Grindelwald among them. The Ministry moved to expel them, until there seemed to be no more of his supporters among us. Then, in December 1947, I had a dreadfully risky idea. I would join the Magical Empire under the pretences of amicable surrender in order to preserve existing structures which might one day be redeemed. We radiated staff for a period for quite obvious reasons, and I’ve since made an effort to avoid promoting true supporters of Grindelwald. Much of the current administration’s staff is composed of those rare ambivalent wizards and witches who will neither increase our effectiveness in persecution nor act with such lack of zeal that it should draw suspicion.

I don’t directly forward much information to Dumbledore myself, as it would be a grave liability. I’ll occasionally give copies or summaries of information to aides that may or may not work for him that won’t draw suspicion. When I really need to give someone something, I’ll change my appearance totally, and adopt a green hairdo with green lips. If someone refers to me as “Sally”, I know they’re a friend. One can never be certain, but I believe that I’ve flown well under the radar for the most part. I’m generally not a direct aid to Dumbledore’s cause, but I strive to keep our security reasonably inept and limited that we might not know of everyone who arrives and departs. It makes no difference to my own work, as I simply exercise leisurely authority as Viceroy of the Magical Raj in order to maintain a quiet neutrality that might serve to benefit both the muggles here and abroad. I couldn’t say for certain, but there may be a bug or two in my own office itself. It’s a terribly precarious position to provide a discreet stream of information to the enemy of one’s superior, but it’s a tightrope I imagine I walk well enough, given that I’ve gotten away with it with surprisingly few close calls since August 4th, 1952. I hope that I’ve been of good service to the resistance before the original elements wane.”

RP Example: I have a vague recollection of rping with you before. Might be the Mandela Effect, who knows?

I hope y’all like this. There’s a LOT of moving parts, but it was fun putting this character together.

APPLICATION:

Name: Gilderoy Lockhart

Age: 25
Sex: Male
Appearence:

Gilderoy Lockhart was a foppish, handsome wizard with wavy blonde hair and particularly straight and shiny teeth. However, despite his looks, his clothes are often limited to trench coats and he has a terrible sense of fashion when it comes to hats. Gilderoy at 7"9 is decently tall and has a decently muscular build. He can run extremely fast due to his training as law enforcement and knows how to tackle someone.

Personality:

Gilderoy is radical. He is obsessed with changing the status quo when it comes to the taboo of technology with wizards and can sometimes be seen as overly eccentric in his efforts. Quiet when needed and overly noisy at inconvenient times. He came across as arrogant and vain during the academy but in his later years has suppressed those behaviors. He is very skeptical and investigative from his years in magical law enforcement. (OP, as you can see here I'm not the best at writing personality.)

Species: Wizard
Allegiance:

UFN: A valiant alliance to stand against the evil in the east. I thank them for the asylum they gave me and my father.

OOTP: Heroes who shall liberate England from Lord Black! No more shall my muggle friends suffer under the evils of Lord Black!

Knights of Walpurgis: Nothing more than a muggle killing cult. They killed everyone I ever loved and perhaps shall love and therefore shall pay for their crimes against the universe.

Grindelwald: If all of man's evil and mistakes assumed a form.

Biography:

Born in London on 26 January 1964 to George and Emily Lockhart. His mother was a wizard who had gone to great dangers to marry a muggle she loved. Lockhart's earliest memories would always be the attic that his parents and Gilderoy would stay in. As the decade wound to close violence against Muggles in London skyrocketed and George barely survived a lynching on his way back from work. Emily realized that if they remained in London anymore they would almost certainly be found and killed sooner or later. She began to research ways of fleeing to areas of the world unoccupied by the growing darkness. In 1971, she managed to arrange for travel to New York. The ship was a fishing trawler that would sneak past the coastal guard and defect in New York. It seemed that they might actually make it but the day before the ship was to set off their residence was raided by the Knights of Walpurgis. A massive battle ensured as Emily was an extremely potent Witch being able to match the dozen dark knights easily. But as more and more skilled knights entered the neighborhood she realized she could not hold her ground and implored her Husband and Child to flee while she held them off. Eventually, the battle escalated and despite Emily's skill, she gave her life in a valiant last stand.

Her sacrifice brought enough time for George and Gilderoy to flee to the port and drew enough attention for the trawler to flee without notice. After a harrowing two week journey across a storm-ridden Atlantic, they saw the light of New York in the distance. George managed to gain asylum and managed to receive a posting as a police officer and decent quarters. Gilderoy attended the New York Acadamy for magical beings to truly study magic. Gilderoy was never the best at magic but he tried to make it up by studying other branches such as magical theory and History. Gilderoy developed amazement for Muggle technology. Most notably in the field of weapons and vehicles. He was amazed by how fast Muggles had advanced compared to the Wizards of old. In one of his projects for the academy, he did a presentation on how Wizards must evolve in terms of technology. Instead of receiving praise and action he received laughter and contempt.

When Gilderoy was seventeen his father was killed in a shootout with impoverished muggles in the docks. Gilderoy was maddened by his father's death and enraged when he learned that those "muggles" were really Lord Blacks spies who wanted to erase all traces of the defiance by Emily. Gilderoy hunted these spies down and eventually discovered their safehouse. He had alerted the ministry to the safe house but was forced to act when he noticed that the spies, numbering three, were beginning to flee. After a short chase, he tracked them to the Docks where he engaged in a duel with one of them. Gilderoy was inexperienced when it came to magic and was forced to retreat to a guard booth with the spy in hot pursuit. In the booth, he found a shotgun on the desk. He knew how to use this from the books he had read on Muggle technology. He ambushed the spy in the shipping crates and after a short fight, he killed the spy with a shotgun to the face. He was shocked at how effective firearms were when used in conjunction with magic and pursued the remaining two spies through the docks and managed to injure one of them before the ministry descended on the docks and captured the two.

Gilderoy expected honor but received nothing but a ticket for property damage. Honestly, Gilderoy should have been angered at the Ministry taking all the glory but all that mattered was that his father was avenged. He never talked about what he did and therefore nobody at his school knew. He began to study magic more intensely and began to theorize about a combination of Muggle weapons, guns in this case, and magic being combined. He jokingly called it "Gun Fu".

When he graduated he became an initiate for the United Free nations magical law enforcement Division (UFNMLED). He was considered unorthodox and strange for the fact that he used a revolver and his wand at the same time. He eventually reached the rank of Private Auror but there was just something missing. Maybe it was the death of his father but it seemed like he took greater and greater notice of events in the eastern hemisphere. He remembered how it was like living in that hellhole and knew that nobody ever had the right to suffer as he had. As he celebrated his 25 birthday he heard that a wizard had stood up to Grindelwald and was now in command of a vast army of resistance members all over Europe...

The strength of an insurgency is very rarely in its ability to face regular army troops in an open battle, rather it’s in their ability to avoid open battles; if he’s dueling with army troops he’s doing something very wrong.

I really like the concept of taking canon characters and twisting them to see what form they would take in this alternate world.
However, there is one thing I'm wondering if I read right- he's 8 feet tall? And that's only decently tall?
