Aldar,

Hello and welcome to HS.net! We are so glad that you found us; make yourself at home!

Aldar sounds like a very interesting young lady! She has a well thoughtout background and will make a wonderful addition to one of the upper year classes!

Before we can get you roleplaying, I have just one clarification that I would like to see based upon your application. You don't have to change anything in your application, just replying to this message with your answer will suffice and then we can work on getting your application accepted!

In the appearance section, you note the following:
Quote
Aldar has long hair, and the color changes frequently. Her eyes are a dark blue and sometimes change color depending on what color clothes she is wearing (for example if she is wearing green her eyes will appear more green).

My inquiry is more to the hair than to the eyes, as I know that eyes in real-life - especially shades of blue - can change slightly in hue to mimic what one is wearing or feeling. However, you also state that she changes her hair color. My question is, does she do this in conventional ways (i.e. hair dye) or does it happen magically? If you intend for this to happen magically, she would be considered a Metamorphmagus and a Special Request would need to be filed. The form for that can be found here. If she changes it in a more conventional way, keep in mind that Hogwarts requires students to have 'naturally occurring' hair colors (i.e. blonde, brunette, red, black...).

Once you respond to this inquiry, we can get you playing with all of us very soon! Hope to see you around!

Sincerely,

Marlena

Oliver!

First of all, let me be one of the first people to welcome you to HS.net! We're glad that you were able to find us and hope that you find your experience here a great one!

We are excited to get you roleplaying with us very soon, whether it be searching for school supplies in Elsewhere or attending or summer camp at Camp Loki, however there are two little things that need addressed in your application before we can get you accepted.

Firstly, and this is more informational than it is that changes are required in your app, but our wizarding community, through a strange series of events on New Year's Eve in 1974 found itself taken back in time to 1937, leaving all the Muggles behind. If you'd like to know more, you can read about the Time Warp here. Since Oliver didn't leave home until he was nine, he and the rest of his family would have been affected by the loss of his father (and any siblings that did not possess magical abilities) though memories of those left behind would after a time be forgotten. While you do not necessary need to change Oliver's biography to reflect if and how he and his family were affected, I just wanted to make you aware if you decide to allude to his father or his family at any time in your roleplaying. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to Private Message or Personal Chat myself or any other member of the staff!

Secondly, your roleplay example does a wonderful job of setting the scene and providing us with some personal thoughts going on in Oliver's head, however I feel as if his response to Astrid is a little non-existent. When we're roleplaying, we want to leave others with enough to build another post upon. Could you expand your RP response just a bit to reflect this?

Thanks so much! Hope to see you around!

Welcome back Jacob!

Q. When the muggleborn children were brought back in time with the magical community, and their parents left behind, what happened with them?

A. Muggleborn children were sought out and collected, mostly by the British Ministry of Magic.

Q. How were they cared for and such?

A. Some muggleborn children were adopted by wizarding families. If they were not adopted, they were sent to orphanages such as the one established at St. Mungo's where they lived in a ward and were taken care of by the hospital.



For more about the Time Warp plot, see the guide here.

Joy,

For the time being, while we work out some of the kinks and bugs in the wiki program, we are asking members not to sign up for the wiki.  We will definitely let you know when it is back up and running though, and may ask for help rebuilding pages in the not so distant future, so be on the lookout for that!

Emilie,

Hello and welcome to HS.net!  We are so glad that you decided to join us, we've been expecting you.

Just two minor things about you application that I would like to draw your attention to, and one question I'd like to ask as your application doesn't allude to it and knowing the answer is very important to our ongoing board plot.  Once you get them addressed, you can re-post your updated application below and we'll take another look!

1) If Emilie is a 1938 graduate of Hogwarts, during her time there were two females would have been in the "head" position, therefore we had a Headmistress instead of a Headmaster.  If you could just change the wording, that would be awesome!

2) Your roleplay response contains just the tiniest bit of power-playing.  Keep in mind that you can only control the actions of your character.  For example, you wrote "...she asked wiping some of the glitter off his jacket.  That might be better written as "...she asked attempting to wipe some of the glitter off his jacket."  Stating it that way allows the other player to decide if she actually did help him, or perhaps he moved out of the way because he has a fear of being touched?

3) In your biography, you never allude to whether Emilie is a pureblood, halfblood, or muggleborn.  I ask what she is ONLY because it is important to our ongoing board plot.  Our wizarding world went through an event know as the 'timewarp' where instead of entering the year 1975, wizards were transported back to 1937, leaving all muggles behind in 1975.  Her biography is fine the way it is if she is a pureblood, and I kind of figure from your biography that atleast her mother is a witch from the fact that she homeschooled her, but I'm not sure about her father, siblings, and half-siblings.

You can read more about the timewarp here.

Once you touch-up your application, re-post it by hitting 'reply' to this thread and we'll take another look!  Can't wait to get you playing on the boards!

Selena,

Before your application can be accepted, I just have one thing that needs to be addressed and one question that needs asked!  It's appears as if the levels you listed and those listed in your subbie are different.  I'm assuming that the ones in your subbie are correct?

Also, your bio says that she passed year three with flying colors, yet you are requesting that she be placed in year three?  I figure this was an oversight, but wanted to make sure before I accepted the application!

Please let us know by making the fixes and re-posting your application below.  Thank you!
