Okay, so, regardless of IC rules, would it be physically possible for one student to sneak another (from a different house) into their commons? :]

Just throwing some future plot ideas together.

Thanks!

I didn't realise Robert was intersex; that is the coolest thing! I just had a read through; his story is amazing!

I'm definitely writing up a trans* character, I'm in the process of trying to work out the specifics at the moment! :)


Hey Felix, I'm going to add onto this, since my own character doesn't fall on the spectrum of male or female, though he identifies as male. Robert was born intersexed, and has struggled with hiding not only this secret of his gender, but his own sexuality as well. It was much more a challenge when he was a student, and he wasn't talented with spells, as Izzy suggested. Now he's able to transfigure himself as a male, so there's less worry than when he was younger.

I can point you to Robert's profile if you wanted to get a gist of language and description that would be considered site appropriate. I think it'd be easy for you to play a trans character and stay without our guidelines! I'd love to see a character fit into the time period as well, it'd definitely be really awesome!

Hey there!

Thank you :) I think you more or less just confirmed what I thought! That being said; it didn't occur to me the possibility of spells being used to assist with the passing as male or female... although I'm sure it would have eventually!

I'll most definitely get to some character planning and development, I think, and will keep in touch with admins. :)

Thanks again! That's all from me for now, I promise :3

Hi again, sorry to bother everyone again. I'm just all full of ideas and questions at the moment! I can barely contain myself and my imagination.

I was just wondering if there are any trans*gendered characters played on the boards at all; the 1940s were an interesting (and dangerous) time historically for people of LGBTQ background, so I'm thinking about going there, in a time appropriate manner :P I guess I was just wondering if it had been done yet.

Also, in regards specifically to this topic, how would the PG13 rating affect this? Obviously no direct reference to genitalia in detail or anything like that, but does anyone have any other ideas? Personally my view is that LGBTQ people are part of life, but some places have restrictions on what it's appropriate to expose children to. (This being said, I'm fairly certain this isn't one of those places in this case.) I think maybe those past few sentences might be kind of moot now.

Oh well.


Any thoughts/helpful insight? :)

Thanks!

Brilliant! Thank you, that was all super-duper helpful. Expect to see a wonderful squib-daddy around soon! I think I may keep him all for myself...

Suggestions & Questions / More squib-related questions! :]

Hey all,

just a few quick squib related questions. :) I'm in the process of putting together a little family of adoptables, so just wanna get everything straight first.

HERE WE GO;

1. Can Squibs be played characters here on the boards, or do they have to exist only as NPCs? I'm assuming that Wizarding Society can be a pretty hard, and dangerous place for those who are squibs, but what if they are married into/born into a wizarding family? They can't just not exist in the Wizarding World. (aside from those few dumped and disowned by their parents)

2. What are Ministry laws like surrounding squibs? Are they, for example, allowed in wizarding establishments (eg. St Mungos, and Diagon)? Do they have to register with the blood registration committee even though they're technically not magical? How about ID? Would they be required to carry the same ID as magical folk?

3. If squibs are okay to be played on site, what restrictions are there with their interaction with the magical world? And is there a handy little badge that says 'squib' instead of the M,H, or P :P

Bump :)

I always saw it in my head as a vague good or bad feeling with no real inclination as to what it means. Just the smallest sign that one day Felix may have some sort of notable divination skills; like he gets a bad feeling then looses his homework assignment before he gets to hand it in. I did take a look at the guidelines but was hoping it'd be okay as its only the vaguest feeling... if that needs a special request put in though,  I'll leave it as one or two isolated incidents in childhood.

Martin,

Sorry about the coding! I've been doing so much with HTML recently that it didn't even occur to me that using it in a forum based RPG probably isn't clever.

I've re-worded the roleplay, to minimise confusion, but just to clarify; Felix is a first year (or would like to be). The news paper incident happened in his first TERM (ie. before Christmas). Ofcourse, time in the real world (IE where we usually inhabit) and time in the Wizarding world move very differently, and it only just occurred to me that I'm not sure how that affects the plot here; is one term equivalent to one year (I know it is in sense of classes, but does each term equate to twelve months?) 

Regardless, I've changed it so that it'd work either way now :)

Application for Hogwarts School




→ CHARACTER INFORMATION.
Name: Felix Simmons

Birthday:25/071932   (1970 pre-time warp)

Hometown:Buckingham, England

Bloodline:
Unknown    - Both Felix and his brother Francis (at the time seventeen) both slid back in time with the time warp in 1974; their mother did not. From this, we can ascertain that she was not of magical blood; when Francis received his Hogwarts letter, the family also received a visit from a teacher at the time explaining the presence of magic in the world and everything else Muggleborn's parents are usually informed of and their mother was completely suprised, but also accepting. However, the boys' father left shortly after Felix was born, and has never been back in contact. From what the boys know of their father, he was a mysterious figure with no contact with his own family or anyone from before he met their mother; he also had a pet owl. After the visit from the Hogwarts teacher and Francis' admission to Hogwarts, the boys' mother began to suspect that her ex-lover (the boys' father) may indeed have been a wizard- it would have explained a lot. But no one knows for sure, and so Felix's (and his brother's) blood status is uncertain.

Magical Strength (pick one):
Divination

Magical Weakness (pick one):
Conjuring & Summoning

Year (pick two): First year (preferred), Second year

Biography:
If you are applying to be a first, second, or third year, your biography must be at least one hundred words long.
If you are applying to be a fourth year or above, your biography must be at least three hundred words long.


 Having slid back through the Time Warp with just his seventeen year old brother, the latter half of his childhood was a big old whirlwind of confusion for him- he was, in essence, raised by a young man only just out of childhood himself. (Francis had just come of age before the Warp, this and the fact that his best friend at the time's father had some influence at the Ministry meant that Felix stayed in Francis's care rather than going to an orphanage). As a result of this, Felix sometimes struggles with social conventions and to know what is expected of him; afterall, Francis could only do his best to teach him what he could. From birth, Felix grew up knowing that Francis went to Hogwarts and that he had 'magic powers' and this always fascinated him as a small child. After Francis graduated from Hogwarts and time warped, he opened his own shop selling magical wares and Felix spent a large amount of his childhood sat behind the counter gleefully watching the magic unfold. From the age of eight or so, Felix began to experience his first glimmers of his own magic; he had an incredibly refined 'sixth sense' as Muggles would call it. Francis would come downstairs to find Felix locking all the doors because he felt uneasy, to find out the next morning that several houses on the street had been burgled that night.

→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Hufflepuff

Personality: Felix is a pretty relaxed guy most of the time; he loves to read books and spend quality time with his friends (although he has very few).That being said, his lack of friends is mostly down to lack of opportunity. Felix does not lack confidence and looks forward to making plenty of friends at Hogwarts. Although he does not like confrontation, he is not afraid to speak his mind if he thinks something is of importance.

Appearance: Of an average height for a ten year old, Felix has medium brown hair and dark mahogony eyes. His skin is a caramel colour. He has a small scar by the outside corner of his left eye from a mishap with a fork when he was very young.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Felix was taking a slow wander through a corridior he'd never been down before. Some first years may have been worried about doing such a thing, but Felix had made friends with most of the ghosts and portraits in the school within the last few months and knew that, if he got lost, all he had to do was ask.
“Hey!” A voice, light and airy, but not one that he recognised, came floating from behind him.  'Who's she shouting at?'  he thought to himself, as he continued down the hallway. A clicking of shoes running across the hard floor towards him reached his ears. Was she after him? Whatever could some girl he'd never even met want with a quiet first year like himself? “Wait up! It’s for the paper!” Oh. The paper, ofcourse. The Spellbound was the school paper, and was infamous for it's inaccuracy. Felix had heard in the common room one night that it's reporters used charmed quills, with mixed results in regards to producing genuine news articles. He remembered, with a chuckle, the time when the paper had declared; 'HEAD BOY ADMITS LOVE OF STUFFED ANIMALS'. Felix hadn't read the article (actually, he rarely read the paper at all) and often found himself wondering; cuddly toys or taxidermy?

Felix slowed and turned, just as the girl, who he vaguely recognised from a few Quidditch games, reached him with an awkward trot-like run. “What do you think about serving frog legs at lunch? Some say it’s a delicacy, but others think it’s plain gross.”   "Um. Hello."  He thought about her apparantly random question for a moment. "Frogs legs?"  he asked. "Aren't they a bit... French? I mean, this is Hogwarts, not Beauxbatons. Wouldn't Haggis be more appropriate?"  He regretted saying it almost as soon as the words came out of his mouth.
