Felix Felicis

How did your character celebrate New Year's? With whom? Let us know here in the comments!

Me again! Heather here! This is Maks and I will try and keep this short. That'll never work. XD

He's a Durmstrang man, who came over for the Triwizard. He used to play Quidditch with Viktor and Anzelm on their school team. He's Russian and goes by Maks, never Ivan. His family is old money and actually comes from the Russian aristocracy. Remember how the Malfoys tried to keep in with the Muggle royalty? That's a game the Volkovs played and won. Or they did, until the downfall of the Tsar when his great great grandfather was brutally murdered in front of his entire family. So, no hang ups there, then.

The Triwizard was a fun time for him because it set him up for his future career. He is now an interpreter and translator for the ICW, British seats, as he speaks five languages - Russian, English, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish. Being something of a Scandinavia specialist, he's picking up Danish in his spare time because he's totally normal, you guys!

He and Taryn have been engaged for two years and they plan to marry in April 2006 at his family's estate in Russia. Right now, they have a place in the Cotswolds while they commute in opposite directions. They attended the Yule Ball together and dated ever since. When the war broke out, she went to stay with his family in Russia to keep her safe from Umbridge and her machinations - My head canon is that either Viktor (via Fleur) or Fleur herself tipped them off.

Any way, PLOT WITH ME IM EXCITED.

Hi guys! Heather again.

We're on the approach to half term now, so things are quietening down now, and with RP land about to become quieter than usual due to Nano, I figured it would be the right time to start dipping my toes back into the water.

If anyone would mind getting me up to speed with what all the characters are doing, that would be awesome :)

Hi guys!

I want to apologise for sucking again. After the debacle at the game of which we do not speak, I thought that having the time freed up would help me play more often. Unfortunately, though, gossip reached me about what happened after several of us left and I was pretty shaken up about it. I needed to take some time to myself, and unfortunately, the mods and their behaviour have pretty much zapped all but the tiniest amount of my creative energy and joy of RP - it's something difficult to explain. In essence, I haven't been around as much for the sake of my mental and emotional health, and I hope that you guys don't find that a pain to deal with with your chars and all <3

I'm around on AIM or FB messenger for those who use it. I'm heading back to London next week for the new school year, so after that I'm going to try and ease myself back into things - maybe an entry a week or something at first so I don't force it, which I think was part of the problem.

In the meantime, please be gentle with me, I promise I'm trying! If it helps, doing gdocs or emails as a slow burner of a thread seems to be the easiest way for me to get the ideas down right now.

All my love,

Heather

Hi guys!

Sorry for being MIA since Christmas - as some of you know, I got a job that required moving to London on short notice and it kind of ate my brain. I will be hoping to get back into the swing of things now the first half term is done.

Poke me if you want anything plot wise :)

Hey everyone! Heather again with this lady, Maartje Viljoen. My friend Beth (some of you may know her) will be joining at some point with her partner (Niall Connolly, aka the Connolly of the Irish International Team) but for now, here's what you need to know about Maartje.

- Born in Botswana because her parents (Afrikaner father, Xhosa mother) attempted to flee South Africa during Apartheid. Her father died on the trip out and her mother died of labour complications. She was brought up by parents who participated in the anti-Apartheid cause.

- She's Muggleborn and attended school back in South Africa at the Cape Town Academy for Witches. No, she isn't related to Larissa. Yes, she is vocal about the prejudices she has faced as a biracial muggleborn. Yes, she managed to get out of the UK during the war (see below).

- She had *just* turned 19 at the time of the QWC in 1994, making her the oldest female char in game iirc. She was travelling after her graduation from school and it was in England that she met Niall. They fell in love and she stayed in Europe to be with him. She worked her way through the ranks at Slug & Jigger's Potioneers ever since - first as a shop girl, then a potions brewer, then as a potions analyst and finally as an inventor.

- It was this skill that, when she and Niall left the country in 1997 (he got an offer from the Quiberon Quafflepunchers, she followed), led her to get the role of second-in-command Potions professor at Beauxbatons. She remained put in her post until this spring, when she became pregnant (she is about to hit 27 weeks) and they decided it was time to return to the UK.

- Currently on maternity leave, she is busy nesting at their new place in Hogsmeade (Niall just got an offer from Montrose). Why Hogsmeade in particular? Well, she has been offered the position of Potions Professor at Hogwarts, starting in September. Yep, old Sluggy is finally retiring for good! She would totally take his job as Head of Slytherin too, if she is allowed, though she accepts this is unlikely.

Plot with me!

Another post in the OOC comm OMG HEATHER SHUT UP.

Anyway, just letting you guys know that after yet another set of external circumstances (several smaller illnesses kicking me in the behind, family matters, mods at another game going HULK!SMASH on people with differing opinions to theirs, etc) I am restructuring my online time for my own peace of mind.

I quit the game with unsupportive mods (I've never been so grateful for Patricia, really!) and I am organising my free time so that my online past times are more balanced with the things I enjoy offline, so this will hopefully mean I'm more rested when the pathetically minor health concerns stop knocking me over and go away. Felix is now my only RP, and may well be for a little while yet (I'm only trusting games where I know the mods very well for the time being!), so I aim to have something posted for all my chars by the end of the weekend, and to be caught up in previous posts too. I think this is something I can manage without exhausting myself!

Sorry btw if this is something of a double post if you've seen my comments on AIM or FB, btw :)

Hi guys!

Heather here, apologising for accidentally going AWOL. I know some of you will know what has happened over the past couple of months (in short, I do NOT have good luck when it comes to not being employed by actual lunatics), and it has sort of friend my brain when it comes to staying on top of RP. I also sort of forgot to update certain characters beforehand anyway, so as tomorrow is a Sunday, I'm going to go back to my old habit of a word doc on my computer to track when I last posted as [X] etc.

Let me know if you would like to do anything with my five. I'm hoping to get my inspiration for Hannah back at some point, but right now I just cannot get my head on straight with regards to a bio for her! :(

TTYL,

Heather (Anzelm, Kevin, Anais, Larissa, Leon)

Hi everyone! I'm Heather and I think I've played with pretty much all of you before. I'm bringing five kiddos over here - three currently of Goblet, one previously of Goblet and one from a different game. Whether you've played with the char or not, I'd love to plot and work out backstories/future lines etc. See below, because I'm still working on updated bios at the moment ;)






( Leon Beery, 26, Ravenclaw Class of 1995. Actor. )






( Larissa Samuels, 25, Ravenclaw Class of 1996. Sports Healer. )






( Anaïs Bolduc, 26, Beauxbatons Class of 1995. Chaser, Ballycastle Bats )

FINALLY...

PLOT WITH MEEEEEEEEE.
