Here Comes the Sun - An AU Marauders Era Game

Final character for me at the moment and he is Rabastan Lestrange. He's an ambitious forth year Slytherin who's currently trying to find a place for himself in every club going. He's a nasty piece of work, using peer pressure to bully other students in his year and try and force them to conform to his standards.

He idolises his older brother Rodolphus and comes from one of the most well-regarded pureblood families in Britain. Naturally, this has made him almost unbearable. He's also a hypocrite - rationalising the things he does while condemning the same behaviour in others. He's quite cold and hard to get close to, but once you get past all that then he's just a frightened kid who isn't sure how to live-up to all the pressure heaped on him. However, hardly anyone does get past all that. Rabastan has only a few real friends and for the most part they're in the same boat as he is - Slytherin second sons who are expected to do well or else.

So, Rabastan is basically a horrible little boy. If you need someone to turn up to rub it in that you lost the Quidditch match, or that your cauldron exploded or just make your day that bit more miserable than Rabastan can be guaranteed upon to help.

I'd love some people for him to bully, someone who maybe doesn't think he's quite as awful as he actually is and just general plotlines to knock him down a bit.

Hey everyone! I'm April and this Georgia Tepper. Georgia is a 7th year Ravenclaw, who mans the book club and detests fighting. She is exceptionally sweet, and is nice to absolutely everyone. She can be a bit selfish at times, but if she is friendly with you she is very generous. Her poppa is a muggle so she, as a rule, avoids Slytherins. She doesn't know how to duel and doesn't want to learn.

Georiga likes to be called Georgie or Bea, but she'll suffer through anything that isn't derogatory. She is incredibly sensitive, but very good at hiding it and she is incredibly insecure. It is unlikely that anyone outside of Ravenclaw knows how much she sulks as a result of misplaced words. Though, she is easy to excite and will help anyone out anything. She is codependent and has to help people, especially the ones who don't want it.

Georgia is extremely curious and loves gossip. She can be rather tight lipped about things, so she is a good confidant but she sometimes can be a bit annoying when trying to pry information out. She explores places she ought not and has found the room of requirement, but she thinks it's a bathroom because that was what she needed at the moment. She is also very secretive, so no one is prying secrets out of her!

[Edit]: Georgia also knows sign language! Not that it will make a difference, but it totally did once!

Anyway, I am up for anything. Enemies, Friends, Ex Boyfriends, Love interests, Fellow book club members. My email is aprilynnd@gmail.com, my aim is aprilxlily, my CDJ is bananalily and my personal journal is ouvert. Or you can just comment here! I'm really excited to get playing!

Orion Black is the father of Sirius and Regulus Black, the uncle of Narcissa, Bellatrix and Andromeda, as well as slightly more distantly related to the Prewett tribe. He's a tired man, although not all that old by wizarding standards, and it's likely that his dedication to the family and to his duty that have drained so much life out of him.

He wasn't always like that, of course. In his youth he was an arrogant boy, a young man who was popular and self-proclaimed leader of his peers, and after school he was still an important mover-and-shaker, despite his, er, personal agenda. But that was soon discarded as duty took over, and he married Walburga Black, his cousin, sister to Cygnus, his closest confidant. She is an amazing woman, he reports, strong and determined and more intelligent than any wizard he has ever met, and he loves her dearly. The pair's first-born, Sirius Black, was the personification of not only Orion's duty, but his love for Walburga, and they spoilt the boy rotten.

For those first few years, including the birth of Regulus, the little family was happy, more so than he can believe, looking back on it now. Now, of course, the family is crumbling. Sirius' moods rival only his mothers, his thoughtlessness splitting not only the family, but now causing arguments between the usually soft-spoken and peaceful Orion, and his wife, who can not stand to have the family slighted or damaged.

Orion is desperately pretending there is no problems, that Sirius is only a wilful teen, than he means only to annoy them. Walburga does not see it that way, in fact, she is certain that it was the favouritism Orion showed towards Sirius that has twisted the boy and made him into this devil-child. She blames him too for her brother Alphard, a more long-standing disappointment. Even so, Orion is trying to hold everything together, and try to tempt his eldest back onto the path of the straight and narrow, and while doing that, he's trying not to think back to the 'good old days' before all this trouble started, because who knows where all that will lead to...

Orion is related to most of the Purebloods about at the moment, even if it is distantly. The Prewetts, Potters, Crouches, Rosiers and Longbottoms to name but a few. However, most of them are undeserving of his attention and he reserves his friendships for his fellow Knights of Walpurgis- that is, Ignatius Prewett, Abraxas Malfoy, Cygnus, and one or two others. If anyone wants to pick up one of his friends or associates I'd love you forever, but I'm really on the look out for Walburga ATM. Anyone know of anyone interested in her?
