Hogwarts School: A Harry Potter RPG

Hello Mary!

Welcome to HSnet! So glad that you found us.

First thing, first. I noticed that your username does not match that of your character. You can fix that by submitting a helpdesk ticket requesting a username change.

Your application is coming along greatly. However, ten years ago, our canon went though an event known as the Time Warp (you can read more about that here). In brief, the entire wizarding world slid back in time. What does this mean for Muggleborns? Well, their Muggle relatives in most cases didn't slide back with their magical children. This would mean around the age of one, Mary was left all alone. Because she was so young, several things could have happened. She could have some distant magical relative that knew of her and picked her up OR she could have been picked up by one of the children's orphanages. How her story plays out from there is completely up to you!

Also, it seems as if you are missing the bottom portion of your application which contains the roleplay sample that we ask you to complete.

If you could reply below and repost your application in full making the necessary edits, we'd be more than happy to take a second look at your application. Can't wait to get you playing with us!

Hey Veronica!

Welcome to HSnet! So glad to have another one of Ellis' friends joining us! (;

Before we can get you accepted and roleplaying with us, there is one adjustment that needs to be made to your application. Your application is coming along greatly. However, Akara's backstory doesn't exactly match up with where our site plot has been. Ten years ago, our canon went though an event known as the Time Warp (you can read more about that here). In brief, the entire wizarding world slid back in time. What does this mean for Muggleborns? Well, their Muggle relatives in most cases didn't slide back with their magical children. This would mean around the age of one, Veronica was left with just her father as he was magical.

(Just a side note, in order to receive her owl on her 11th birthday, Veronica would have had to have been born in September 1935 to be a first year this term.)

Also, if you could just flush out your RP sample a little more so that we can get a little more taste of what Veronica is like. Perhaps you could write about what she was doing out in the gardens when she spotted the boy looking for his rat?

If you could take a look at both of these recommendations and post your edited application below so that we can we can take another look that would be great! Can't wait to be writing with you!

Hello Akara!

Welcome to HSnet! So glad to have you and your friend Ellis here. Thanks Ellis for recommending us to her! (;

Your application is coming along greatly. However, Akara's backstory doesn't exactly match up with where our site plot has been. Ten years ago, our canon went though an event known as the Time Warp (you can read more about that here). In brief, the entire wizarding world slid back in time. What does this mean for Muggleborns? Well, their Muggle relatives in most cases didn't slide back with their magical children/siblings. Unfortunately, this means most likely that although Akara was with her twin sister on someone's doorstep, Akara's sister wouldn't have warp back in time with the Wizarding world.

This does open a whole realm of opportunities for Akara, and this doesn't necessarily mean that a huge portion of her story has to change! Although she would have no sibling to be compared to, it is possible as a twin that she always feels that a part of her is missing (and even worse that she doesn't know why).

If you could please make this adjustment to her biography and repost the application below, we'd love to take another look at it. Can't wait to get you accepted!

Hey Luna!

Welcome to HSnet! We are so glad to have you join our community!

Your application is coming along nicely and Luna seems very unique, I love her story! However, before we can get her accepted, some of her story needs some minor tweaking.

Ten years ago, our canon went though an event known as the Time Warp (you can read more about that here). In brief, the entire wizarding world slid back in time. What does this mean for Muggleborns? Well, their Muggle relatives in most cases didn't slide back with their magical children.

Being accepted as a first or second year means that Luna would have been no more than two when the time warp happened. While this doesn't have to change the feel of her story, it would change some of her background as anyone around her at the time of the Time Warp that wasn't magical would have "disappeared". At the age of two, it would have been difficult for her to survive on her own. The squib Chief Elder of another tribe could still fit into this story, but as a Native American, why would he have attended Hogwarts instead of the North American magical school, Salem?

Also, I noticed that you mentioned the Luna was a parselmouth. This is considered a special ability and requires that you fill out an application to have this ability. Seeing as it is close to the start of term (only 25 hours away!), I would suggest that you leave the mentioning of Luna being a parselmouth out of your application as we cannot accept your application until the special request is approved or rejected. If you are still interested in Luna having the ability, you can still submit the special request and if approved begin to use it in your roleplays.

If you could please repost you application below, adjusting your biography to reflect the Time Warp, that would be wonderful. Also, when you repost, please do not adjust the Hogwarts header at the top of the application. After you do, we'll be able to take another look at your application and get you approved!

Can't wait to see you around the boards!

Hello Anastasia and welcome to HS.net!

Your application is off to a great start! Ana looks like a fantastic character with a great backstory and I cannot wait to get her playing within the Ministry of Magic. I have taken note that you wish to change your levels request to C8 D8 T8 S8 and well as wait to submit a special request until you've felt Ana out a little bit (which is a great call).

If/when you would like to request levels > 32, please PM this application to an admin.
If/when you would like to request Ana's empath status, please submit to an admin this application.

Until then could you please edit the first little bit of Ana's bio? It comes off that she already harbors the divining and empath abilities, though I'm sure you wrote that intending to submit the special request application now.

Also, your roleplay sample displays forms of powerplaying, which is controlling the actions of another player. Remember that you can only control what your player says or does. If you could take a look at the RP sample and re-work it a bit, that would be fantastic!

Once again, welcome to the site! See you around!

Best,
Aubrey Rousseau,
Gryffindor Head of House

Hello Arven and welcome to HS.net! We are so glad to have you here!

It appears that you are off to a good start to your application, but you are missing a few sections and there are a few others that need attention.

First, in the year section we would like you to pick a primary and secondary year that you would like Arven to be accepted into. At 15 years old, Arven would likely be a 5th year, but then you could put 4th as a second choice.

Second, the biography section states that "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." If you could add a little bit to your biography, that would be great! Some ideas might be to tell us what life was like for Arven growing up? Since his father was a wizard and his mother a muggle was he exposed to a wizarding upbringing or a muggle one? Is there a reason that he is going to Hogwarts instead of Durmstrang seeing that it's the wizarding school for Norwegian students?

It also seems that you missed the RP sample. Please refer back to Student Application Template for the RP samples that you could reply two. You only need to do one.

Once you've made the necessary edits, please reply to this thread with you application in it entirety and we'll be glad to take another look! Can't wait to get you writing with us!
