Here Comes the Sun - An AU Marauders Era Game

Good evening, Ladies and gentlemen!

(Admittedly, it's not really evening for me anymore, and it's probably not evening for any of you, either. However, I don't really care.)

My name is Anna (texmas), and I am a 20-year-old junior at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL, majoring in Classics and Art History. However, in September, I will not be returning to Chicago. Instead, I will be going to Catania, Sicily. Because I'm a playa, and I got it like that.
My interests include Latin, Doctor Who, pretentious indie music, abnormal psychology, Spanish baroque art, Leonard Nimoy (and Star Trek), literary devices, English Regency Novels, witticisms, Kurt Vonnegut, J.D. Salinger, Oscar Wilde, Jorge Luis Borges, William Faulkner, Salman Rushdie, James Joyce, and I need to stop listing authors because I will do this all day and then where will we be?

I bring you, Severus Snape (sang_mele). He also has interests, but likely does not care for you to know them. Since it's not up to him, I will inform you that these interest include (but are not limited to) potions, the creation of new spells, the dark arts, academia, elitism and forms of magic that value artistry, subtlety and attention to detail. He does not like people with a sense of entitlement, or most Gryffindors, and he does not suffer fools gladly.

He does, however, like Lily. To an extent that is truly mad.

Plot?

Since he's being featured in James Potter's Magical Meme I though I would introduce Julius Wilkes to everyone.

Julius is a fifth year Slytherin, from a rather diminished pureblood family. He's not particularly bright nor is he athletic or physically intimidating. Julius actually seems quite a lot nicer than some Slytherins - very open, friendly, willing to help out. That's because Julius relies on favours. He works hard to gain the trust of other students, to learn their secrets and then use those against them. He doesn't like the term blackmail though, he prefers to think of what he's doing as swapping favours and he refers to those whom he treats in this way as friends.

He's also not against being a slimy little suck up to teachers, especially ones with quite obvious failings to be exploited like Professor Slughorn.

Julius needs quite a few enemies, his 'friends' and I'd be very interested in playing a plotline about an upcoming Potions test (or another class) that Julius hasn't studied for and instead tries to pressure another student into stealing the answers for him.

Good morrow fellow kindred souls, and those of proper blood and breeding. I am of course Regulus Arcturus Black, and I am a content, and intelligent Fourth Year Slytherin Student. Do not mistake me for my prat of a brother, and don't delude yourself that we think along the same lines, or allies. You may send me an owl if you like, and I may answer, PurelyBlack.

Family First, Blood is everything, Toujours Pur!!

ooc: Hello all! I can't believe I am back in this fandom after a three year hiatus due to less than satisfactory comms and modding. I have such hopes for my boy here, that is why I applied. Thank you for having us! I am on most nights and weekends California Time, and I can frequently tag threads on the sly at work. Regulus has a contact post for IC Plotting (WANT!) and OOC pings if you need to reach me. Looking forward to playing with, or plotting against you all! Cheers! Nyt and Regulus.

I'm the player of Bellatrix. I'm Gabhi. So, I'm playing an OC called Toby Dixxie and he's... the opposite of Bellatrix, actually. He's a Ravenclaw born muggle, extremely clumsy, a little bit shy and with low self-esteem.

The poor thing lets people bully him because he has grown up like that, issues with his jerk brother Bernard and all that (I fucking love this name, Bernard, oh well). So to try to stop at least Bellatrix to bully him (because really, Bella would LOVELOVELOVE to bully him, and since I cannot bully myself, I had to make something for her to me impossible to bully him), he'll be the photographer for the school's newspaper, a project that Bella is organizing simply because of the gossip and for the people that can get their feelings hurt because of this.

The photographer has a huge heart though. He doesn't realize at first that people can get hurt with it, so he'll just take the photos for the newspaper.

His best friend is the Hufflepuff Basil, but by now he obviously has some more friends. I'm needing people to bully him, to be friends with him, to stand up on his defense against the bully fans, and whatever plot you have in mind might please me.

Toby's bisexual, obviously, but he likes to keep it a secret that he has already kissed boys. Well, a boy actually, it was only one. He has a hard time believe that people would find him attractive, so he just doesn't... date much.

My AIM is pensevermelho. ;)

Just so I don’t mess things up. What’s the date in game?

Hi, I'm Natalia and I bring you Rita Skeeter. She's a seventh year Slytherin and, as you probably know, she'll do anything for a good story.
Plus, this is Rita's last year at school, and she wants something big to help her pursue her dream of becoming a well-known journalist.

She's a Pureblood, but doesn't give much importance to it, as the only thing that matters to her is gossip. Some of her classmates don't take her too seriously, but those who are more careful (or have suffered her blackmailing) know she can be quite dangerous sometimes. Of course, there are some secrets she can't keep to herself, but she knows which ones can be useful later.


You can say she doesn't have many friends, but it's not like she cares. She has good sources and that's more important anyway (Although she sometimes feels a little alone she'd never admit it). Rita's had many boyfriends in the past, but none of them lasted longer than three weeks. Basically because she was only using most of them and she thinks she can be perfectly well all alone. (Oh, by the way, she's bisexual).

Rita is pretty much open for anything. Friends, enemies, love interests and backstories of any kind. My aim is nataixoco and my email (Which I check more than I should) is npr1994@hotmail.com, if you're interested in discussing plot and stuff.

Tweak has been in a Potter Mood tonight:

Tweak says, "Mischief Managed!"
Tweak says, "Follow the Butterflies..."

In order to do something interesting for her future in some way, Bella has the idea of starting a newspaper for Hogwarts. She will be using some help though.
Toby Dixie will be the photographer for the newspaper and Bella and Rita Skeeter will take care of the gossip part, but there's still a lot to be made.

There needs be a part for Quidditch and for school announcements.
So, hm, I (Gabhi, not Bella, since we're talking in the OOC comm lol) will be more than pleased to see if you guys are interested in writing the Quidditch part, and YES, I'm accepting suggestions and you're more than welcome to write for it. Want to write a whole page about cooking? About flying? Maybe be the guy/girl interviewing people? Whatever, guys, be creative, it's gonna be a weekly newspaper, there's a lot that can be done about it. :D

And yes, Bella's kind of the editor, since it was her idea after all, but just because she's a bitch that you hate it doesn't mean that you shouldn't participate =D She will try to say that she's the boss and all, but really, she isn't. She's just another person working on one of her first really good ideas. lol

So, thoughts?
