Hogwarts: A New Age [OOC] [CLOSED]

[Khasinkonia]

So how is Quidditch going to work in the RP?

I'd assume it's played in a similar manner to how it's played in NS Sports, though I think we should probably have a separate thread for it.

I'll talk to the OP about this. I'm imagining that we'll decide on a schedule to simulate the games. So, for example, the game will be "on" a Tuesday, meaning the results of the game will be posted that day. You can roleplay the lead up to the game, and afterwards, however you want, but I like the idea of simulating them like in NS sports.

[Talchyon]

I would, if I knew how. As I said in the OP I haven't done this for at least a year, so. If someone could tell me how, I'll do it.

Yeah, if you need help with stuff like that let me know. I have two completed RPs under my belt and two currently running.

Same here. I'm currently running two RPs and will gladly share OP trade secrets if I have learned them.

[New Roman Empire]

I've watched so much Quidditch in the last two hours it's not even funny lol surprised at how popular it actually is.

[Ormata]

Btw, why is only one Teacher allowed? Is that per player or per the entire RP, and if the second, then again, why?

[True Christopia]

I'll be increasing the amount of teachers allowed to be played as the amount of students increase. Speaking of which, I'm now allowing a second teacher.

As for the quidditch thing, me and the co-op will be discussing it before the RP starts.

[Vaquas]

Tagging.

Thank you. I will be contemplating this new position.

Name: Sauvanne Vannier

Gender: Female
Age: 36
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance/Picture Sauvanne stands at 5’5”, the standard height for most people, and has a striking appearance. With red hair, kept long and in twin braids, her skin has the tanned tint of the riviera and of the Mediterranean. Her eyes, a deep blue, are framed by a button nose and a nearly always smiling mouth.
Blood status: Half-Breed. Sauvanne had a Wizard father and a Veela mother.
House: Hufflepuff (?)
What they teach: Potions
Head of house?: Most definitely not.
Patronus: Knight
Views: Bloodless
Fears: Violence at the School, Unprepared Teachers, Birds
Likes and Dislikes:

• Likes: Peppermint, Milk Chocolate, Red Wine, Helping her Students, Holding Debates
• Dislikes: Rude Debaters, Cigarette Smoke, Smelly Tofu, Chinese Food

Personality: Quiet, calm, and collected, Sauvanne enjoys cordial relations with most teachers and students. While she’s not chatty, she can and does hold good, lengthy conversations with anyone who would want to strike them up. As such, one might find the Potions Class in a state of calm, with cauldrons brewing, or in an argument on Aboriginal Magic and it’s relation with other magical techniques in the natural setting, such as Mongolia. An avowed pacifist, she finds wanton violence to be just that; wanton. Dedicated to her students, she would protect them ceaselessly.
Backstory: Sauvanne was born in the French Riviera, in Toulon, to a wizard father and a Veela mother. Her father, a ranking member in the French wing of the Ministry of Magic, was of the sort one might expect in the lazy warmth of France; he enjoyed the twin sins of cooking and chocolate. Sauvanne’s mother fancied herself as just as good a cook as her father, with the added bonus of having a full head of hair. Both of them possessed the great joy of competition, and as a result Sauvanne had a great amount of food as a child, and food of high quality.

However, her patronage lead her to issues at school. Young boys would, undeniably, fall head over heels for her. It seemed that she was an early bloomer for Veela Magic, and, well...as a result, Sauvanne became rather alarmed by this aspect of life and drew herself into a brief reclusion at home. Luckily for the Vannier family, she had turned eleven at the time of her reclusion and was sent away to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. There she was rather at home, as there were many charms to prevent the subtle entrancing of passing students and, God forbid, teachers.

After her work there, Sauvanne would pass final exams with flying colors and would set herself to the task of becoming a portion of the Ministry of Magic. She would become a part of their human-wizard network, and would work alongside select colleagues in the French Government to ensure such issues as runaway brooms, wayward witches, and transforming cats would not reach the afternoon news. As such she would become extremely well-versed in the casting of Memory Charms, along with becoming well-versed in Muggles and Muggle governments.

However, this would simply not suit Sauvanne. In time she would tire of her work, of the endless hours and of the annoyances which come from dealing with morons, of which were surprisingly plentiful. As such, she would apply to, and receive the job of, Potions Teacher in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2015. She has been there since.

Keep in mind with "human" corporeal patronus guardians that they cannot display any sort of emotion, personality, etc. The reason the guardian is effective is because they're not human, so they can't feel fear like a human would. That's why patronuses are typically animals. In fact there's nothing saying a patronus can be anything but an animal, but it's a cool thought that it could take human form and there's no credible source saying it can't.

Name: Robert Gleen
Gender: male
Age: 53
Sexuality: gay
Appearance/Picture Well-built, very muscular, whitening brown hair with a scarred face and a very pleasant, soft, melodious voice. His eyes are a light grey, and always sparkling as if he's just come up with the greatest new idea ever, and he walks with surety and obvious purpose, though rather jauntily and always with a smile on his face.
Blood status: pure blood
House: griffindor
What they teach: potions and care of magical creatures
Head of house?: only if Neville steps down
Patronus: wolf
Views (Blood ideology, optional): pure blood supremacist
Fears: being uncovered before his ingenious plans have been put into action (muhahahahahahahaha), big things with teeth, muggle weaponry
Likes and Dislikes: Likes: students (genuinely), magical theory, conversation. Dislikes: the ministry, being interfered with in selecting his curriculum.
Personality: Enthusiastic about his subjects, though oftentimes a bit too enthusiastic as he overestemates what the students will be capable of. However, he is always willing to help students who are struggling, and is known to set insanely easy exams as he believes that they are a poor way of gauging students skill. He will be willing to go into long, in depth chats with students about his pet love, magical theory, and is known for hosting little fertive lessons at strange times for students who want to learn weird and wonderful new spells he has worked out. He is a kind soul when it comes to magical creatures, and his attitude to trade regulations is 'It's not trade if I go out and get one myself, is it?'
Backstory (Minimum 2 paragraphs): Robert was born to a family of very isolated wizards in the outer Hebrides, and only really heard about the wizarding war once it had happened. Homeschooled by extremely good potion-brewers, he was allowed to roam free around the islands and found a lot of different magical creatures he found interesting, and so decided to bring home. With little to occupy himself, he began to concoct his own potions and spells, until with a visit to the mainland one day his skill was spotted by a man working for the department for magical law enforcement...spotted in a bad way. Robert had absolutely no idea what the ministry or its laws were, and was absolutely scared out of his skin when he learnt that charming a muggle was considered wrong. He was given a conditional discharge, and following this his obsession with magical law grew. After a few mmonths time, he tried out and was accepted with some reservations as an auror, quickly rising through the ranks andreaching a level below Harry Potter. This career was ended however when he was accused of using strange new curses to hunt dark wizards, ones which the ministry certainly did not approve of. Dismissed from the auror office, he was in search of a new job when the old potions professor resigned due to ill health, and he immediately took up the post.

I know. They are drawn from good, happy emotions. So I mean...hey. Stuff.

So, wot do you think of Sauvanne?

Bloody hell, I guess it's time to duel for the spot of Potions Teacher.

Excepting the fact that your character doesn't qualify, as you just have one giant paragraph for his backstory, and that you really, really need to not have everything bloody bold (pls).

Also, only one new teacher is allowed at this moment.

[The Valyria Empire]

I also don't think professors teach more than one subject unless that person is incapable that day. Thus we never saw Snape teach Defense Against the Dark Arts until Lupin was unable to thus Snape was his substitute.

the form of the patronus has nothing to do with the memory it's drawn from. It takes the form of something you share a deep affinity with. It's a reflection of your soul, in a sense.

And since we're only allowing one new teacher at this time I'm not going to comment on either application. I'll talk to the OP about both when they come online.

So...no comments. OK then, lol. The OP is online, btw, so...yeah.

Tag.

[CoraSpia]

Sorry, I'm using screen reaer software because I can't see the screen. If I mess about with the tags, it'll go to shit, and I can't really sort out paragraphs very well, sorry.

Aaahhh, I see.

I'm just confused by how a Pure Blood Supremacist likes all his students right now and how a formerly convicted individual by the Ministry and forced to leave the Aurors would be allowed to join a teaching position. Normal Muggle schools already are massively paranoid by teachers who have minor offenses against them. I'd guess Magical schools would be even more paranoid.

Why would an obvious poser like lockheart be allowed to join?
Or someone clearly suffering from ptsd likequirrel?
He got in the shit with the aurors because he took his job a bit too far, not because he was bad. And he may like his students, it doesn't mean hethinks their his equals, I liked my dog but I wasn't going to let him do my dissertation.

Both true points, though neither Lockheart or Quirrel had been forced to leave the Aurors. That sort of thing is the equivalent of being kicked from both the police and SWAT for unnecessary brutality. I would think his application for being a teacher would bring to light the details as to why he was kicked from the Aurors and that these findings would not be viewed in a positive manner.

That stated...does he think of Muggle-Borns and Half-Bloods are dogs? I'd think you could get into trouble for that as well.
