OOC STOCK

Hi! I’m Jessica. I’m new around here and I’m bringing you all Nadia Rosier.

Nadia is 21 years old and a former Gryffindor. She’s the younger sister of Derrick Parkinson. She absolutely adores her older brother, however she does not approve of his marriage to Mundungus Fletcher’s sister. Elisabeth is a halfblood and the union between her and Derrick is sullying the family’s good name, regardless of any paper she has. Unlike her brother, Nadia found a sensible match with Evan Rosier, a pureblood two years older than her. While she does not love him, she considers him a close friend. He buys her lots of things and treats her well. She’s happy with him.

Without a doubt, Nadia is a pureblood supremacist. She believes that Voldemort and his followers have the right idea. Her husband has not told her that he is a Death Eater, but she has suspicions that he is one.

She’s a housewife because she claims that she “isn’t cut out for real work.” In reality, she’s more than capable of working, but she would just rather lounge around the house and do nothing. Anyways, this gives Nadia time to do the one thing that she loves the most: gossip. Her favorite pastime is finding great little tidbits of gossip and spreading it everywhere.

Currently, Nadia is three months pregnant. She’s nervous about when the baby comes, but right now she’s content because she thinks it’s a valid excuse to whine.

I’m always up for plotting and scenes. I’d also love to make a few friends, acquaintances, gossip buddies, or enemies for Nadia.

Okay, now that I've commented everyone's intro, it's my turn! Hello, I'm Anna and I have... not done HP roleplay for about five years now. Be kind to me, please.

I've picked up Esther Jugson (nee Macmillan), who is a former Ravenclaw ['63-70], a pureblood and purist. She is sister to Kenneth Macmillan and rivals with Dorcas Meadowes. Esther is married to Neal Jugson, who is a marked DE (not known) and a Healer at St. Mungo's.

The woman is a pureblood socialite who enjoys spending her husband's money and living off of appearances - on everything that not her husband, because oddly enough, she actually loves him. Which is baffling if you know me, but whatever!

There are more details in her bio, but I would love to figure out some friends, foes, acquaintances, etc. She's currently pretty bare in connections. I have AIM, but the best way to reach me is likely commenting her bio post, so I will get the notification in my e-mail.

I look forward to playing and plotting with you all! Hit me up for a thread, it will make me happy!

Hi, I'm Dawn. I played Draco the last time around but my real life kind of exploded and I totally failed. I still have about a week before I'll be as active as I like to be since this week is the make it or break it week in my new position. Okay, that was too much info but I feel bad and when I feel bad I ramble.

Anyway! This is Annalise Bones, Susan's mummy. Anna is at the exhausted stage of early motherhood so if she forgets something she's supposed to do or calls someone by the wrong name, please forgive her. She's 21. She grew up in a commune so she has all sorts of weird skills like butter making and she can make cheese (there are more but those two are the least gross she says). She's a former Hufflepuff which completely makes sense given where she grew up. She's married to Isaac, who she says is sometimes too stuffy for his own good but she loves him anyway. She's fairly sure she's couldn't not love him to be honest. Anna is also rather artistic (it comes from having a mum who's a poet and a dad who's a potter), her preferred medium is photgraphy and she's skilled with both a muggle and a magical camera. She also creates scrapbooks for everything and I don't mean the kind with ribbons and fancy paper that we see now, these are the old fashioned kind that literally have scraps of everything in them.

There she is, now how does everyone see her?

And a reminder of my contact stuff since I failed so miserably last time. AIM is feybookgirl and my CDJ is book_muse

Hello! You might remember me as the Terry Boot Mun That Disappeared, Damn That Wench. However, I'm better known (depending) as Nathalie. For you who do not know or remember me, I am a college student (sorry I disappeared) with a double-major. And I recently turned ANCIENT when I turned 22. Geriatric.

So my newest pup. Is Isaac Bones. Former Ravenclaw. 23. Current Political Journalist at the DP. Youngest Bones child and son ... though I suspect there are moments he feels MUCH older and responsible and mature than Edgar. We don't have an Edgar (someone app him and I will love you like forever?) but I suspect this is true. Because Isaac is all kinds of practical and responsible and dedicated and hard-working and patient, and does not like to be BS'd. He is also terribly idealistic. Like it is sort of sad sometimes. He isn't naive exactly but he puts much faith in his gov't. In my little head canon, the Bones have been involved in the Ministry since it's conception. Probably helped launch it, working in the background-and the forefront-making it move along. They're proper and pureblood (or well, Isaac really can be a bit conservative with his propriety ... something he and Anna tend to but heads over)and progressive. Isaac takes these ties very seriously. Perhaps too seriously at times.

He's married. And is like Susan Bones daddy. And likely has manful-*coughs*-panic times that involve him going WTF!BABY!? Even though he adores her and likely thinks she's the SMARTEST child in the UNIVERSE! And yes, that is so not true and he knows it but he can't help think it at times. He's totes smitten, though he tries to be all ... meh, about it at times, with varying degrees of success. Isaac despite being a traditionalist in somethings IS very pro-Muggleborn. Married TO one. Kind of hard not to be. Especially when the woman is someone like Anna. Isaac. Thinks Anna is nuts. Thanks. He loves her though. Cannot stand her hippie loving family ... commune whatever. But he loves her.

So my ramble is over. I tend to ramble when I am sleepy. Friends? Exes? Whatever? His info is here anna_sexual. Am open to all and any plottings!

Hi all! I figure I'm procrastinating on all the work I need to do anyway, I might as well write an intro! ;D Anyway, my name is Emma! I'm very excited for this new era of Stopgap! I have two kiddos Benjy Fenwick and Evan Rosier.

Benjy (fenwanker) is a former Gryffindor (1974) and an enthusiastic member of the Order of the Phoenix. He is very talented with Legilimency and as such found himself work as an Obliviator for the Ministry of Magic. His beloved mother is a Muggle, so he is very against all the pureblood world nonsense. Benjy is very English and has a particular fondness of Yorkshire Pudding. He's all about good old English charm and likes to think himself a very proper and polite gentleman. Benjy would no doubt jump at the chance to live in a Jane Austen novel for a day. He's very much a people-person and enjoys conversation, big words, and gossip. Benjy also partakes in what he considers to be the manly art of the knitting. His older sister creates knitting patterns for Witch Weekly, so there's usually advanced copies lying around his house which he swears he only looks at for the knitting patterns and sometimes the baking recipes. Benjy is very happy with his life at the moment. He and his girlfriend Dorcas Meadowes recently moved in together. He really ♥'s Dorcas, but her rejection to his three marriage propels makes him kind of sad, but he tries not to take it to heart and has realised that he may be trying to jump the gun too soon. He is happy to have her and her son Ryland under the same roof at any rate. Benjy is not official the father of Ryland, but he kind of likes to think himself adoptive father of sorts. His challenge is be knocked unconscious by Mulciber and Macnair, then be rescued by James Potter and then - die. :( So sad. Benjy just hopes he can go out in style.

Relationship-wise, Benjy is really not that difficult to get along with. He's fairly easy-going and likes to prattle on with just about anyone - whether they like it or not. I see him being mates with a good chunk of the Order and really anyone else around his age who does not mind his side-swept hair and fondness of knitting.

Evan (noblebirth) is a former Slytherin (also 1974) and is a marked Death Eater. Evan grew up the "golden child" of his parents and as a result, he has this constant need to live up to standards and expectations. At Hogwarts, he was quite studious for a Slytherin, but influenced by his mates became fascinated with the dark arts. Evan is very driven by power and wealth and although he would be quite comfortable without an income of his own, he does work in the Wizengamot Administration Services. He cannot say he likes his job, but he's holding out to become a member of the actual Wizengamot someday. Evan likes to keep his life far away from his Death Eater status. He is not an outspoken DE in the least bit, which may be irritating for some of his fellow DEs. Evan still does not really know how he feels about being a Death Eater. He really feels he got sucked into it because of his friends and of course his father. Evan was very close to his sister Alice Longbottom until her marriage, which meant being disowned from the family. Evan has always been deeply affected by this, though he'd never show it and has avoided her at all costs since. Her departure influenced his need to keep his toes in line when it comes to his family and to marry a pureblood witch. He's happy with Nadia, although he really does not know how to be a proper husband, so he shows his affections through material rather than heart. Nadia is pregnant, which kind of scares Evan more than any Death Eater business. He also has a horrid temper which can often led to violent ways. Overall, Evan is in this slowly turning vat and sooner or later the poor boy is going to get sucked in and completely lose it. His challenge is to be ambushed by the Prewett brothers and escape unscathed.

As a general rule, Evan does not wish to associate himself with "dirty" blood and so forth since it has been drilled in his brain since birth. The upper-crust sorts will know him since they all seem to run in similar social circles. Evan is related to a lot of the Blacks through his aunt Druella Black. His best mate is Jeremiah Wilkes and I see him being mates with most of the younger DE crowd.

This is becoming really long. Sooo, backstory/relationships/plottage/etc? All my contact info is here!

Hi folks. I'm Dee and this is Ludo Bagman. He's basically your typical egotistical slightly-has-been sports celebrity, with a big grin and a thin veneer of selfish Slytherin cunning. In short, a bundle of laughs. No, really: Ludo presents as a cheerful, gung-ho lad who pretty much hasn't grown up at all since sixth year. Whatever he says officially about having left his irresponsible playing days behind him, the cheeky glint in his eye says (or is it promises?) otherwise.

He doesn't think he's all that. He knows.

He works for Games and Sports, which doesn't give him a lot of useful information to pass on to the Death Eaters through his friends and contacts, but hey, he does his best. Things I know: duelled Jugson in sixth year (but possibly thinks that was just Youthful Hi-Jinks and it's all cool now?); hangs with Macnair; hates That Bastard Greengrass (who stole his girl); and he's destined to discover he's an unwitting father.

Things I'd love to hear suggestions about: everything else. *G*

Aaaah! Hello everyone! My name is Megan and it is currently...2:55 AM my time and I should very clearly be in bed right now, but clearly introducing myself and my characters is more important to me than sleep. Anyhow- like I said I'm Megan and I'm here for Stopgap Volume Two with Andromeda Tonks and Caradoc Dearborn!

Andromeda (middleblack) is the middle of the three Black sisters and was the one their mother put all of her hopes and effort into as she grew up. If your characters remember Andromeda from school she was very poised and had lovely conversation skills and associated mostly with other purebloods unless school assignments required otherwise. She was also engaged to Rolodphus Lestrange her seventh year, but after finding out he and her sister Bellatrix were seeing each other behind her back Andromeda snapped and completely left purist society. After that she lived with her best friend from school [Claire] McKinnon, worked in a bookshop, explored muggle London, met Ted Tonks and married him six months later. Nymphadora is seven and a full-time handful. Andromeda owns Cake and Crumb, a bakery in Diagon Alley and is pretty much in love with life in a way she never was while living with her family. Andromeda is very friendly and while she doesn't always love all of her acquaintances equally, unless you really bother her, you probably wouldn't know it.

Caradoc (dearborned) is beginning to think he's part Grimm. All of his family has either died or vanished and nothing seems to go right in his life for very long. His father died of cancer when he was thirteen, his sister was killed in a car accident when he was eighteen and his mother and older brother were casualties of a Death Eater attack two years ago. After his younger brother disappeared (Caradoc thinks he's in America) two weeks after their deaths, Caradoc was invited to join the Order of the Phoenix and has been volunteering for the most dangerous missions ever since. He tends bar at The Leaky Cauldron and is thinking about offering up his childhood home in Swansea as a Order safehouse, seeing how he lives in London and doesn't really see the need to keep two homes. He's currently dating Marlene McKinnon. Caradoc is blunt with a dark sense of humour and philosophical streak.

I have storyline entries up for both of my characters but they're pretty basic right now. I'd love to add to them! Let me know how your characters would interact with mine! I'm open for pretty much anything. :) All of my contact info is located HERE, and I'm online pretty much whenever my iPod can pick up a wifi signal even if I'm not at a proper computer so I'm around for plot and play!

Can't wait to start interacting with you all!

♥ Megan

Hi! For those of you continuing on to the new 1980 game (or the brand-new players!) I would love to discuss relationships between my characters and yours, as well as write backstory threads! (and present scenes too once the game starts, yay).

I'd love to have some of the following SLs things filled/discussed/created (also, I'm totally down to hear everyone else's ideas too!)
( SLs )


I complied a small list of possible backstory scenes! I'd love to try these out or something similiar and, of course, I'm open to changing the details (they're just ideas) and brainstorming ones with characters not listed!
( Back scene wish list )

Find my contact info here! or reply to this post or my kid's journals. I'm easy and more than willing to start threads (wouldn't mind doing a backscene while we wait for game to start)

I can't wait to play :D

Hey guys! J again with Oliver Wood this time. You may remember him from the books as the one who gave Harry Potter his start in Quidditch, led Gryffindor to the championship in his last year as captain, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. A few years have gone by and in that time Oliver has become a veteran of professional Quidditch and a media darling.

His world revolves around Puddlemere United, which was fun when he first arrived on the scene and for a couple of years after that. But at twenty-eight, he feels a little too old for the lifestyle and wants somewhere to hang his hat. He gets a bigger kick out of watching Shark Week on the hotel television than going out to clubs and picking up women. He's also a health nut, obsessed with taking care of his body so he can continue to compete like a champion among predominantly younger players. Admittedly, not a whole lot of fun to bring to restaurants, as he will dissect the menu and end up getting the salad and a piece of skinless chicken. If you can look past that, he's an incredibly amiable fellow. Loves manly activities like mountain biking, deep sea fishing, and working on his brooms.

LET'S GET PLOTTING!

Heyyyyyyyyyyya

So I'm a newbie with Zacharias Smith. He's a bit of a lazy asshole, enjoys riling up fights, and running away before he cleans them up. He's got...alot of connections with people such as Megan Jones, Lisa Turpin, Madoc Cadwallader, and Sally-Anne Perks. But that doesn't mean he isn't open for plot! He's quite happy to approach anyone and piss them off.

For OOC stuff, my name's Kore. I can be reached on AIM (though I'm not on much lately) as 'koreofmyth' and can be hit by email fairly easily as kore_of_myth(at)yahoo(dot)com. I also have a HMD/Contact post HERE. Clearly this is my first time with Zacharias so...feel free to give feedback :D

I think that's it, but I'm really looking forward to playing with you all! And did I mention how much I love the premise of this place?

Hi, everyone! This is Jas/Terrence Higgs with a second character, Susan Bones. Susan is a former Hufflepuff/badass member of the D.A. Perhaps best remembered by her peers as the girl whose family made headlines in The Daily Prophet not once but twice in the short amount of time she spent studying at Hogwarts. The first time was when the Death Eater who killed her uncle Edgar, his wife, and their four children escaped from Azkaban. Later that year, her aunt Amelia was also murdered. Honestly, she'd much rather be remembered for splinching herself in Apparition than her family's tragic history.

Susan worked with her aunt's prominent friends to bring The Amelia Bones Foundation to life, which works to promote racial harmony through education and dialogue. She's a straight-laced workaholic who recently dumped her fiancée, Michael Corner, because he couldn't settle for number two on her list of priorities. In spite of all this, she wears a big smile on her face and hopes all your fabulously rich characters will attend her charity events. =D!

Plot with me!

Hi, party people! I'm Jas and this is my bb, Terrence Higgs. To save you the trouble of going through his profile, Terrence is a struggling musician. He plays lead guitar in an otherwise all-Muggle garage rock band called The Veins (think The Raconteurs!). He recently gave up his desk job at St. Mungo's, where pretty much his entire family works. His father was a well-respected Healer-in-Charge there before Warrington's father gave a false testimony implicating him in Death Eater activities. It's total rubbish because while Terrence's father may no longer rock dreadlocks and burlap ponchos, part of him will always be a peace-loving hippie on the inside. As you might've guessed, Terrence is pretty pissed off about it, but he's taking calculated steps to make it right. As for his behavior around people who don't interrupt his life in such a manner, he's very laid back and polite. Observant, analytical, a good listener... However, he can disappear for days at a time without warning, so his closest friends and family have to deal with that minor annoyance.

Judging from his little blurb, I'd say he's on friendly terms with Montague, McLaggen, and Perks. But the Warringtons and anyone associated with them? Girl, do not even go there. I'd also love plot with characters that fall in between best friends and mortal enemies!

Oh, and his challenge is supposedly to lust after Astoria Greengrass, so work on that we will! I'm typing this as fast as possible because I only have a month and fifteen days to play this kid, haha.

Hey kids! My name is Emma and I bring you Daphne Greengrass! She's a former Slytherin, but she's really not all that much of a threat. In fact, she's a bit of a ditz and a catty Cathy who can waffle on about the most pointless things. She's a hopeless daydreamer and loves gossip; in fact, she's probably far more concerned about other people's lives than that of her own. She rarely ever thinks before she speaks and can be a bit blunt and tactless. Daphne currently runs her own boutique in Diagon Alley (thanks to a sizable donation from Daddy, naturally) and lives in the flat above it with her three papillon doggies, who she simply adores and carts around everywhere. She's very competitive about her line and likes the power and bit of fame she's gotten from it. She mostly designs fancy dress robes and sparkly hair accessories (she has a strange fondness of hair bows, as well), but she's pushing to branch off into other accessories and beauty potions - probably biting off more than she can chew. She's not very nice to her employees, but ironically sugary sweet to her customers. Daphne also likes to flirt - a lot. But she has horrid luck with blokes and generally ends up with the wrong sort entirely.

I think that's it. Apologise for my scatterbrain-ness. I have not rp-ed in absolutely ages, so I'm still getting back into the flow. My AIM is edward pwns all and my email/MSN is sugarquills@msn.com. I live in GMT land. ♥

Hi! I'm McKenzie, and I've got Ron Weasley ... who shouldn't really need much of an introduction. To sum up Ron nice and quickly though :

• The boy's a walking double standard.
• Not necessarily unintelligent, just incalculably lazy.
• Complete and utter commitment-phobe.
• Insensitive.
• ... But on the whole, a well-rounded, funny guy.

Looking forward to short-term plotting with everyone! Catch up with me on teacupped, laughing octopi (AIM), or laughingoctopi@aim.com

Hello everyone! This is Megan (Kat & Lewis) with character #3! I never thought in a million years that I would be assigned Ginny, so I'm a little nervous, but bear with me.

This is Ginny Weasley, youngest child of Arthur & Molly Weasley, only girl in the Weasley family for a couple of generations and Obliviator for the DMLE. As of midnight January 1st she is also Harry Potter's fiancé. Ginny has had a rough few years what with deciding not to go through with her quidditch aspirations and the death of her brother Fred, but she's still the same old straightforward Ginny.

I'd love to work out plot with people! You can always contact me via PM or my CDJ vimes, my aim COLORING chalk or through my email address (hollabackmegg [@] gmail.com).

Hello, Christie here bringing you Christopher Stebbins. Please bear with me as I work my way through figuring him out.

So far, I have determined that he is still living at home, even though his boyfriend Andrew Kirke wants them to move in together. Chris' parents don't approve of his relationship and think that by trying to keep him and Drew apart they will drive the gay out of their son. Chris loves his parents and knows that they will eventually come to terms with his decision simply because they haven't disowned him. So then, why won't he move out? Chris does not want to be a burden on Drew nor does he want to be dependant on anyone else.

Christopher is a freelance photographer who is still looking for his big break. Feel free to ask him to take care of your photography needs.

So, comment away with your relationship to him. Can't wait to get him going.

Hey all! I'm July, a newbie here. I bring you Melinda Bobbin!

She's a Slytherin from the class of '99. Unemployed. Just broke up with her (secret) boyfriend Theodore Nott. She got kicked out of her parents house a year ago because her mum and dad caught her sleeping with the next door neighbor. In usual circumstances her parents wouldn't react so badly but their next door neighbor is 37, and they were having sex in her parents bed. Melinda doesn't really know how to grow up, and she can't realize that she won't always get things her way. She LOVES people though and tends to try and be friendly.

Sucky intro, y/n? I'm looking for all sorts of things. Oh and she got fired from the Three Broomsticks recently so if your character worked/works there they probably know her. She always came into work late. Right now Melinda is looking for a job and hoping to get back on her parent's good side again. Btw Percy-mun, we has to speak about this challenge thing. :)

Anywho you can get me on AIM at july had a dream. I'm usually on because i has no life.
