→ CHARACTER INFORMATION.

Name: Apollo Marquis

Birthday: July 28th

Hometown: Dublin, Ireland

Bloodline:
Halfblood

Magical Strength (pick one):
Charms

Magical Weakness (pick one):
Divination

Year (pick two): 4th (I had her as a second year, term before last), 5th

Biography: When Apollo was born she wasn't born alone. She was born with an unbreakable bond to another, her sister Artemis. Her family was a different kind of wizarding brood, having  ties to both the wizarding world and muggle one. Her father even took part in muggle government in their city at times. Gaining wealth in both worlds was not an easy task though, so sadly her father was gone over half the time. Travelling to Britain to meet with different wizarding politicians, etc.

Being a twin certainly had its upsides. Wherever Artemis failed, Apollo excelled. Wherever Apollo failed, Artemis excelled. Two peas in a pod. Their mother has tried on multiple occasions to bring them up to be ladies, but the sense of adventure that overtakes them both is certainly frowned upon. Artemis would rather trade in her dress for a pair of jeans any day.

After a train ride and a turbulent boat trip across the lake, Apollo found herself standing in line with the other first years, eagerly awaiting the sorting. When she tugged the hat over her head, she was quickly declared a Gryffindor and couldn’t have been more happy about the house --The house where the brave dwelled and adventure was sure to greet her.

And greet her it did. Three years flew by in a flash of misadventure, prank wars and endless friends. True to her name, Polly brought sunshine everywhere she went. Apollo is sunshine personified. She has a knack for pranks and loves to have fun. Adrenaline is her medicine. Her twin is her other half though and she wouldn’t be the same person without her by her side.

Now that she’s getting older, she’s starting to find her own path, seperate from her friends and family, though they will always be a large part of who she is. Only time will tell where she’ll end up and what she’ll do with her heavy power of the sun.

You come across one of these posts on the site. Please select one & reply as your character. Remember, you can only roleplay your own character's actions, not Evangeline's or Hugh's.

Option I:

The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.

A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.

The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.

Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.

Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.

If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.

Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.

"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.

Apollo loved exploring, and the dungeons were a place she hadn't ventured before. They were dark, cold, and mysterious… At least two of those things were things she didn't have too much care for.

When she heard a voice though she quickly darted behind into a corner. She didn't know why that was her first reaction, but she would rather have the upper hand if it was necessary. She didn't like when other people had the advantage, but in reality who did like that? No one she had ever encountered.

She moved against the wall, hoping she wasn't able to be seen. When the girl came into view though she couldn't help but recognize the little Gryffindor, but she also couldn't resist the scare.

When she got close enough she jumped out of the shadows. “Boo!” She yelled as she landed in front of the girl.

Hi, Apollo!

Your app looks great, there's just one thing you'll need to edit before we can get you accepted.

As per the Castle Dropout Rules, Apollo can't claim a 'new' set of levels. She is only eligible to claim 4 levels (2 for 1953-54, 2 for 1954-55) to add to her current levels (C3D1T2S2). You can add these 4 levels to any area, as long as your levels remain balanced.

Once you've made the required change to your new levels request, please repost your entire revised application below, and we'll be more than happy to take another look. Thanks!
cherry lips, crystal skies
i could show you incredible things

stolen kisses, pretty lies
you're the king, baby, i'm your queen

Head of Ravenclaw
do you remember the twenty-first night of september?
love was changing the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away
our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing
as we danced in the night, remember how the stars stole the night away
