Here Comes the Sun - An AU Marauders Era Game

Hello all! My name is Katherine and I am bringing you James Potter (and possibly Molly Prewett and Frank Longbottom if I finish their apps and get them approved in a timely manner, but more on them when I get there!)

Not to get all dorkily analytical, but I'm planning on playing up the duality of James' character. To his close friends, he's incredibly affectionate, loyal, and up-right. He'll tease and banter and cajole, but he'll always have your back. He's also a bit of a limpet, so unless you indicate hands off to him, you'll likely have him hopping on your back or sprawling playfully over you or trying to mock-wrestle or what-have-you. (Remus, we should talk! I'm fairly sure you're the exception.) In private, he's sweet and willing to be more nakedly honest.

For his more broader group of friends, James is a devilish, fun, unpredictable but ultimately trustworthy guy. Unlike the Weasley twins, James rarely pulls pranks in a void--that is, it's unlikely he'll pull something on you unless you're really asking for it. (He will, however, hex anyone who goes out of their way to annoy him, though he pretty much expects the same in return.) He is, however, infamous (with the others) for getting into wild scrapes or pulling off incredible stunts. He's good for a laugh and, perhaps surprising to some, good for a sympathetic ear. He seems to be missing some of the social cues and inhibitions that most people pick up naturally, but at heart he's a good guy. He deflects personal questions with people who aren't very close friends, however, and he can prove to be difficult to know beyond what he's willing to let people know.

For teachers, he's a rascal and a flirt (he definitely flirts with professors, though he tends to toe the line carefully there--it's meant in good fun, not in any real attempt to go anywhere) who refuses to live up to his potential, especially lately. (Studying to become an Animagi takes a lot of study hours he should be devoting to homework.) He especially likes Poppy and Minerva, though you'd have to hex him and drag him into the Infirmary. The only way he'll go voluntarily is if one of his friends is hurt, and even then he drags his feet. Mostly, he's charming and frustrating.

For his enemies and detractors! He's an arrogant ass who not only assumes he can get away with murder because he has looks, charm, and money to spare--but it seems like he does get away with it. He's often at the center of a flock of people and his antics seem like showboating. He's handy at dueling, he's a show-off, he's a do-gooder who sticks his nose into things that aren't his business, and, most of all, he is a very typical Gryffindor. Snape and Lily should e-mail me if they want to talk specifics!

And that's James. I'm at work all day and can't get on IJ, but I check Gmail often. My e-mail is editmethis@gmail.com.

Hello. I’m Mark. A no life College student and admitted Geek. I’ll be bringing you Mop Mullet. She’s a tiny, hyper, tomboyish, thin skinned quidditch chaser and future member of the Irish national team. She’s great fun, a good friend and too nice for her own good. She needs some friends and such.

Wow looking at all the other intro posts this seems embarrassingly short. Let me know if you have any questions or plot ideas!

As Head Boy, Lucius Malfoy is going to make sure some serious changes take place over the next academic year...

First, he's going to enjoy himself as much as possible, and that means keeping hold on the Quidditch Cup, taking as many points from Gryffindor as he can, and staying out way past curfew with the blessings of Prof. Slughorn. As head of the Knights, he's also going to revise the membership, ensuring no muggle or mud-blood sympathisers have slipped in, and ensure that they are not only harassing the foulest subsection of society, but they are petitioning the school board to stop the admittance of those who would clearly benefit more from muggle education.

Second, he's going to ensure that when he leaves Hogwarts (only a few short months away now) he is set and ready to make a name for himself in politics, and that means getting a betrothal, or engagement, to some Pureblood woman of note. And he has just the one in mind. Although that won't stop him enjoying the company of other intelligent and attractive people, of course. And perhaps his father will have died by the time he graduates, and if so, Lucius can take over the Malfoy fortune and start putting it to good use, i.e, his campaign to become Minister of Magic, although he realises that is some way away yet. Rather, he best spend the next few years building up a reputation, climbing the ladders, and then, when the time is right, he will be unstoppable.

For the time being, however, he is going to make sure everyone (save a favoured few) follows the school rules and if anyone else calls him "nouveau riche", they will find themselves hanging upside down from the Astronomy Tower held only by a very very thin thread. Understood?

Jon again! Lucius is this year going to be making his mark on the school, so non-Slytherins be aware. There isn't much that he doesn't want to achieve, and there are certainly a fair few rivals he wants to crush in the next few terms, and he's going to try his hardest to do so. If you're a Slytherin however, or a Pureblood with the right-mindset, getting on his goodside now might ensure you a few favours later on in the year! And I'd love to hear any ideas or storylines Lucius would be able to get involved in. Comment here or AIM old aedelwulf
