First: Seong will be returning and y'all remember them. The only change for them is they will be 32 and the old person of the commons, it seems. Note, their friends would know that F Day is a femme day and M Day is a masc day when they'd prefer a specific binary pronoun.
But enough about them. How about the Falcon's own solicitor and PR wonder woman, Sasha Connolly. The daughter of the "shocking" pairing of Alicia Spinnet and Sean Connolly that produced 3 children in total. Sasha is in the middle, but born 11 months after her closest sibling.
Which is good, because she needed the assistance to help with her deafness and translations in school and with friends. She is bullish, hard-headed, determined, and definitely a slow-burn anger. She is called nosy and a battle axe, as she does not know how to quit and likes to gather information. Almost 26, she has been at the Falcons for almost 2 years and got the position after laying out the team captain for touching her in the board room.
She is hard on herself and often suffers from the imposter syndrome. But as these journals make communication a freakin' dream she is also on them constantly when not working. She can lip read for most people, but some accents throw her off with their mouth shapes.
Love her! Hate her? Bully her? Who knows! |

Hey everyone!
So after last night I figured I'd do a quick touch base, and see what everyone was feeling.
This is by NO MEANS an announcement saying we're shutting down, more or less just want to get a feel for the direction we want to go in! More information is under the cut, and if I could have everyone respond by Wednesday, 2 June, midnight EST that would be great.
( ... )
Anyway, thank you for your time! Please let me know and I look forward to hearing from all of you! All comments are screened. :D |

| Character Theme Songs! |
[May. 14th, 2021|03:18 pm] |
Some of you may know that my primary mode of inspiration is music, and I have epic playlists for all my characters. I also was a radio DJ for 10 years. So I want to play a little game. Comment the name of your character and I will find a theme song for them. Other folks can suggest theme songs, too, and I also will take requests for songs that represent any kind of line (sibs/friends/ships/fam)
Once I am done, I will create a playlist for the game of all the theme songs.
So... Go! |

Hello!
Ren here with #4 - Maya Hopkins!
Because I am a fan of lists, here are here basics:
- Hufflepuff 2022 (same age as James, Fig, Ruth, Liam)
- Midwife/Mediwitch
- 2A with McKenna and Teddy
- Moved into the Commons June 2026 after breaking up with her long term partner, a healer at St Mungo's
- Parents are Carl Hopkins (Gryffindor 1997, Auror Guard for the Prime Minister) and Susan Bones (Hufflepuff 1998, Head of the Portkey Office)
- She has four younger siblings - Brian Hopkins (Class of 24), Edgar Hopkins (Class of 26), Amelia Hopkins (Class of 28), and Lila Hopkins (Class of 30)
- She and Pippa are related somehow
Her mother had a very strong policy of forgiveness - and she offered it freely to a lot of folks after the war. Therefore, it would be normal for all the Hopkins kids to have friends who weren't the stereotypical for someone with her parents.
So... GIMMIE PLOTS! |

Hello friends!
Because it was driving me crazy I had to have an even number here, I bring you Duncan Heath Macmillan! Heathy here is a Slytherin, 2014-2021, and literally just moving in let's say tomorrow. So a real newbie. He currently is in his first year out of healer training and working in the long-term spell damage ward, something he's really proud of. He is a solid dude, on the quieter side but he's not shy at all. He just takes his time and chooses his words when he speaks. That much he got from dear old dad. Along with you know, a knack for healing, though let us all agree Heath's bedside manner is a zillion times better than Ernie's for those of you know who know my grumpy old man. Who is in fact still a grumpy old man and someone Heath is both trying to live up to (by Heath's own impossible standards), and also break away and do his own thing (because you know, SHADOWS). He likes sitting outside with a book or near a window because fresh air is everything. He loves playing with his telescope and often gets sidetracked with really random topics for a short time. Because he's a dork.
Anyway, love this bean. Or don't, that is also perfectly acceptable!
Megan. |

Hi. New person alert. I'm Dana. I may know a few of you. Living on the west coast so in PST time. I am around most evenings and weekends but I do vanish to go to the gym and things.
I am bringing you Ruth Warrington, Hufflepuff 2022 and the little sister of Hazel. Ruth is a ball of energy and friendly. Though she is very direct and blunt. She also struggles with reading the room and reacting accordingly. She is sweet and sensitive and very idealistic. Not the most focused person in the world. She works for Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. She is very settled in her ways and does not like change, so finding a different job does not appeal to her. She moved to common in October 2023.
Anyway, friends and anything you want to throw at me and Ruth. |

Hey everyone! Here is Declan's final bean, Seong Jae-Wook. They are the NB Head Boy student from class of '18 and a former Puff. Currently they live in 4B alone (with ghost roommates =O). Backstory on them, they are the eldest child of Li Soo (called Su Li in school) and a Korean translator she had met and married right out of school, Seong Hyun-Woo. Jae was raised in Korea after age 2 and came back at 10 as they were on the list for Hogwarts alongside their younger brother, Min-Hyuk (24). They stood out in school because they did not act very "British," retaining a lot of their drilled-in habits until about 6th year. They're known for being exceedingly polite and almost passive in nature with a keen eye, curious mind, and a habit of both both backing down and having a slow-burning but explosive temper when it goes off.
They are an Lt. with the hit wizards, not far from picking up rank soon and is one of the more actual adult-adults who is just waiting to make enough money to move out on their own.
**Important note: unless it is agreed upon by them (me), Jae is normally called Seong and refers to people by their family name first. Next-level friends can call they Jae-Wook as they would use full names. And only the CLOSEST of people are allowed to call them Jae and for them to use nicknames likewise. And they will get rather aggressive with misgendering them. |

| #2? Already? |
[Apr. 28th, 2021|11:40 pm] |
Yup. Kassi back with #2.
This is William "Liam" Capper. Hufflepuff, class of '22, and soon to be fully fledged Healer, specializing in creature induced injuries. He's super awkawrd outside of work, where he somehow manages to be a fully functioning person. He's an absolute sweetheart, and a massive introvert, so plz don't be offended if he only spends like 2.5 minutes at your social event, because holy moly, people are tiring.
He's also BRAND SPANKIN' NEW to the Commons, and taking up the 4th room with Johanna, Ella, and Blair. Coming with him is a massive cat - an orange maine coon named Pippin, who is probably larger than most small dogs.
Please love him, everyone. Please. |

Okay...So...a thing happened....two things actually. So let's just dive right in? So Megan here, with not one, oh no, but two YES TWO! New characters for y'all to play with. Or avoid. Either are acceptable in this case...considering.
( ... ) |

| OH HEY |
[Apr. 23rd, 2021|02:46 pm] |
Most of you know me (I'm sorry), but for those of you that don't, I'm Kassi! (I'm also sorry)
I'm bringing you Iain Troy. Yes. That Iain Troy, for those of you who are friends with Johanna. He's a curse breaker, currently working out of Gringotts, after an incident in Malaysia has caused him to reevaluate his life a little.
But only a little.
He's cousins to the Moran clan, and might be more than a little bit reckless (he turned down a pro quidditch gig to go play Indianna Jones because apparently the prospect of one too many concussions from a bludger to the head wasn't dangerous or interesting enough).
For the most part, Iain's a big teddy bear that's maybe a little bit afraid of commitment and possibly a drinking problem. |

Okay, I am satisfied now. Here is my sweet, sweet McKenna. We baby (ish). She is about to be 20 and has worked and lived at the commons for over a year now. She is part of the internet fix it team with a curious mind and a lot of energy. Unlike her housemates in Slytherin, she is a bit more timid in her ambitious habits. More likely to be loving and outgoing and hide her drive behind a thin layer of fear for failing.
Her dad is the now A. Manager and Coach for the Pride of Portree, Miles Bletchley, and a foreign policy solicitor. She and her twin were oopsie babies, but it all worked out in the end!
She is sweet, loving, a bit overly thoughtful and now Teddy roommate! With her kitty Gemma (pictured in the icon) <3! |
