Biography: (100 words minimum.)
Colton Key is from a muggle family in Manchester. After fighting in the war his father returned home to work at the Rolls Royce factory as a machinist. His mother was a nurse during the war and that is how the two met, when his father was wounded in battle though thankfully he bears no physical scars. Colton has one younger brother and one younger sister. Colton is a very caring individual, and often likes to tag along to the local animal shelter where his mother volunteers, helping out to walk the dogs and feed them. Other than that though he is rather quiet, not exactly outgoing and prefers to keep a small circle of close friends rather than being popular and known by everyone. Although he doesn't know it yet, he has a magical gift that none other in his family possess.

Roleplay:
Reply as your character to the following:

Godric Park.

Overhead, the sky was a crisp blue, for once clear of the ever-pervasive spongy clouds and rain. The sun was a lemony-yellow presence, high in the Eastern sky, and in front of it zipped three broomsticks in a straight line, or something very like one. One... two..... three... the boys passed, their shouts of excitement echoing as they chased the snitch, a tiny shimmer reflecting the sunlight.

Far below was another, much smaller broomstick.

It trugged along the ground, hugging close to it like a sluggish choo choo train and occasionally shuttering in protest. This was because said stick was currently being occupied by a very small girl who was tugging upward on the front of it with all her might, trying to coax it into doing what it had been expressly designed NOT to do.

"John, I said wait up!" The tiny girl squealed, giving the broomstick another tug.

Begrudgingly, it drifted upward a foot, and then sank, depositing the troublesome girl safely on the ground. Janey Hurst was not pleased. In a huff, she hopped off the toy safety broom, grabbing it firmly and thrusting it handle first into the turf.

Her brother was such a beast. He NEVER let her play! She folded her arms, seething blue eyes fixing on another figure nearby.  "You!" She barked, much more sharply than she meant to.

"...Do you want to play?"

Please also treat this sample as you would treat a real thread and leave your response open-ended to ensure the other character has a chance to respond. This means that your character should not walk away from or otherwise end the interaction in your response.

Colton would smile to himself as he watched the broomsticks soar overhead. Although he was not skilled at riding a broom, he couldn't help but admire the passion of others. Suddenly he heard a shrill voice shout at him, startled he turned and locked eyes with a young girl. Adjusting his glasses slightly he would smile and nod slowly to her as she ripped him from his own little world.

"Uh, yeah I suppose. What did'ya have in mind?"

I just googled Harry Potter roleplay, and this one seemed a little more like D&D with roleplay integrated with progression systems so I thought it was cool and decided to come play!

Hi Colton!

Welcome to Hoggies! Your application looks great so far.

In your RP sample, we typically ask that your sample be a bit longer (9+ sentences). Think about Colton's surroundings, what he's thinking about. What are his movements?

Once you've done that, reply here with your entire revised application and we can get you started.

Colton would smile to himself as he watched the broomsticks soar overhead. A slight breeze from the brooms would ruffle through his well kept hair making a mess. Bringing his right hand up he would run it through his hair before pushing it back off to the side. As he watched the brooms fly up above he could not help but imagine how great the feeling of freedom and danger would be so high above the safety of ground. Although he was not skilled at riding a broom, he couldn't help but admire the passion of others. Suddenly he heard a shrill voice shout at him, startled he turned and locked eyes with a young girl. Adjusting his glasses slightly he would smile and nod slowly to her as she ripped him from his own little world. He tilted his head as he considered her offer, not yet formally accepting through verbage. Although he was quite content in his daydreaming perhaps interaction with another person could be a gateway for new experiences and opportunities. He slowly exhaled, satisfied with this conclusion.

"Uh, yeah I suppose. What did'ya have in mind?"
