Hey Fern! Welcome!

1. Technically, your character would have been born in 1972, but the nature of the time warp means they remember next to nothing about the 1970s. They might have a flash of memory of that time period but it would be vague and probably feel like they were just having a strange dream. To Fern, she was born in 1934.

2. Yes, only wizards slid back in time. The only exception to this would be if Muggles were in some part of the wizarding world at the time of the warp (December 31st, 1974 at midnight).

3. Muggleborn characters would have lost all their family and they might not have many memories of them. For some, it might feel like they had always been orphans while others might be confused about why they had woken up one morning and not had any family.

4. No, time is still moving forward in the Muggle world. The 70s will become the 80s and so on. Witches and wizards won't come into contact with family members in the past or the future.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions! If you haven't read the Time Warp FAQ thread yet, it might help you further. You can find it here.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and before submitting my RP application and writing my character's background, I have a few questions about the timewarp.

I'm confused- so the character I want to create will be starting as a first year at 11 years old, since the timewarp happened 8 years ago, will my character have been born in 1972 but is now living in 1945? Did ONLY wizards move back in time? Does this mean my muggleborn mother's parents are still in the 1970's and my character will not know her grandparents? If thats the case, when time moves by and my character has aged those years until it's 1975 again, will her grandparents still be the same age and she will finally meet them? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it all. Thank you in advance for the answers! I'm excited to apply and start RPing!
