Era; I'm not as familiar with Marauders, but have no preferences, really.
Character - I would like to play a character who's got some friends/family/etc already in the game. In the past I've played: Ron, Fleur, Remus, Seamus, Susan, Theodore, and a couple other of the "name only" variety, but I am equally open to someone new.
Student or Adult focus; I've played Hogwarts games, I've played out of Hogwarts games, I like 'em both.
I would strongly prefer
Canon (or canon feel), not AU or crack!
Mainly thread oriented.
Lower drama/drop rate, if possible, so I don't wind up with lots of backstory that then becomes useless when someone leaves.
18+, or an average player age of 23+. Younger players can be lovely, but every game I've joined that was not 18+ has had double the OOC drama/cattiness the ones that were 18+.
Absolutes
No marriage or shipping/smut oriented games. I don't mind romantic relationships in RP, but I don't want that to be the focus. I want to write a realistic character who interacts with plenty of people, not just a boyfriend or girlfriend.
No very dark/violent games.
No netspeak, I want to play with quality writers.
If you have a game that you think would suit, please tell me a little about it, and what characters are most needed? I've been looking for a good game the last month and a half or so, but not found anything that catches my eye, so any help is appreciated.
