STORY

------

Welcome to Magic Days, a roleplay set in the time of ~~Order of the Phoenix~~ Half-blood Prince, Harry's 6th year. (1996-1997)

Anyone is free to join, we only ask that you keep your canon characters in canon. However, individual interpretation is allowed, as everyone makes their character unique to them. :) It's not restricted to humans though - we've had ghosts, cats and the Squid with journals, after all. ;D If you are unsure, however, please ask first.

Sign up for the character you want on the List of Characters post.

INFORMATION

------

[x] Every person played has purchased or been given stolen these Wizarding Journals. These are books that can be carried around and written either by hand or by a Quotes Quill. They act like regular diaries, except that they can be Warded or Hexed as Private to certain people, and others can comment in these diaries as they see fit. These Journals are your characters GJ Journals.

If you've never RPed across LJ/GJ, here are the basic rules:

[x] We post RPs and RP Instant Messaging logs here at magic_days. All RPs go over the same format: Place, Characters and a Rating. These can be in 3rd or 1st person, it doesn't matter. :)

[x] We post in our journal to show what we did that day. These are done in 1st person. These are also public. We know some RPs allow, or even encourage friends-locked journal entries but we don't allow it. How can people know they want to join the game if they can't see everything that's going on?

[x] You can put "Warded Against..." and those people cannot read and comment IC. You can put "Private to ..." and only those people can read and comment IC.

[x] If your character has some really personal thoughts to put down, just put "Warded against everyone" or "Private". This should be obvious, but don't actually make them private entries, because other people might want to read it OOC.

[x] If someone crosses something out (~~like this~~), then your character just sees a scribble. Obviously you can read it OOC, but IC you have to act like you can't read it.

[x] These journals are charmed so that you can see everyone else's entries (unless they're warded or private). So you can read everyone's journals and comment if you want to, despite them being in a different place.

[x] Note: due to the the schedule of our old game, we are playing three months ahead. So in

magic_days-verse, January=April, February=May, March=June etc. It can be a little confusing at first, but you'll easily get into the swing of things!

RULES

------

Now for the fun part: The rules.

1. If you want to be a canon character, you have to stay in canon! Characters staying in canon is essential for plotlines. If you don't think you can manage this, there are plenty of smaller characters that have almost no canon history other than names you can play.

2. When you apply, please post a little introductory post with this information:

Name (of character):
House:
Year:
Appearance:
Personality:
History:
Sample Journal Entry:

It would be helpful if you put this in the bio of your character, so that people can see at a glance the year, House, etc. (Obviously if you are not a student, year should not apply, but if you went to Hogwarts you can still put the House you were in.)

3. You should make a new GJ account to roleplay with. Also, keep in mind like we said above that all IC posts must be public - no friends-locking journal entries.

4. 4-5 characters per player max. You don't have to play that many of course, you can stick with 1. That's great. :D Also, please no character switching. Take a character and keep with him/her.

5. If you're not good at creating your own icons, there are plenty of people here who I'm sure wouldn't mind doing a few for you. Just post a comment here asking for one. :) If you have an original character, it would be helpful to know what they look like. Your icons or PBs should look like their characters would. Britney Spears does not a Hermione make! A few guidelines for PBs can be found here.

6. Be polite! No flaming please, or picking arguments - unless it's IC and/or part of a plot.

7. Posts should be kept PG-13. Anything R-rated should go behind a lj-cut with a warning. (If you don't know how to do a lj-cut, see the FAQ.). NC-17 is not allowed, thanks. While we have no age limit, if you are underage, please be aware that we do have some R rated material when you join.

8. If you want to play a canon character that is related to, or affects a character already in the RP (which should be noted on the app page), please IM them, or talk to them first! If you don't have AIM, comment on their journal explaining who you want to be.

9. Inactivity kills a game so it's highly recommended you post a journal entry, owl or RP post every two weeks at least. However, we realise that's not always possible, but you should at least be active in commenting or replying or else we'll contact you and reserve the right to remove your character if we feel like you're being too inactive.

If you can't post for some reason, though, just let us know and there'll be no worries. ^^

10. Mods need to be given fair warning of any character death (at least 24 hours in advance) and any major plots that could possibly affect events like Quidditch games or Hogsmeade weekends or major characters, npc or otherwise should be run by the mods, too. This especially goes for those playing major, canon characters.
