Hi, all! My name is Kassie, I'm from Michigan, and I'm usually better at posting these intro posts on time, but I got swept up in the holidays and everything surrounding them. Anyway, I'm here with it now, and I'm bringing this guy here with me.

This is Elijah Wilkes, the second-generation Death Eater (son of the first-gen Wilkes and cousin to Evan Rosier), graduate of Slytherin's class of 1968, and go-to bad cop in the Auror Office. His worst habit is speaking or doing something before really considering it past the immediate effects, he just barely missed getting sorted into Gryffindor, and his foot almost inevitably ends up in his mouth. Very much not public knowledge is the fact that he's gay as a three-sickle knut; he keeps this very under-wraps and, more importantly, he has a good relationship with his wife and their two-year-old daughter. The Death Eater business is kept similarly under wraps: the Wilkes family are well respected and not overtly evil, and since Elijah really enjoys his work as an Auror, he generally comes off as more offensively pro-Ministry than pro-Dark Lord.

So, friends, enemies, work buddies, fellow Death Eaters, et al.? I'm on AIM as SailorStarPoet and I'm available via email at duanya[@]gmail[.]com. I can't wait to finally get talking and playing. ♥

	Hi Kassie, I'm Kate and a fellow (currently relocated) midwesterner! Offensively pro-Ministry you say? I think he and Dawlish might get on quite well then. I'm sure we could think of some interesting possibilities! My other character is Mary Nott, and I'd think they'd at least know each other, having both been Sytherins and from similar backgrounds.

	Hello and welcome! I'm Anna with Alecto. She's a fellow DE, though a lot younger - she's only 20. But still she'd probably know him I'm sure from meetings and whatnot! (Reply to this)

A fellow Michigander! Yay! Welcome to the game, I'm Caleb and I bring Gideon to your attention. Prewett, 27 (class of '70), is a fellow Auror who got promoted to assistant head over a bunch of older folks in the office so I imagine that may be a sticking point if your boy has any desire for making management. I believe Gid will be friendly towards Elijah. My boy tends to be rather fun-loving.

Welcome! I'm Lara and I've got Sirius.

Slytherin and excessively pro-Ministry? If they'd met when Sirius was a good bit younger, Sirius probably would have been impressed and enthralled with Elijah's social unruliness. If they're just meeting now, I doubt Sirius is likely to warm much at all to him. (Unless, of course, Elijah likes to gamble and happens to take a game of cards at any place Sirius frequents.)

	Hi I'm Lauren, and I know you because you're in Mulligan. Er - not to be a total creeper. I play Remus, and he doesn't really know the Wilkes family? He doesn't really know anyone. He hides out in Sirius and James' flat, and once a month he howls at the moon. Really. (Reply to this)
