Find the Horcruxes (ooc)

Alright guys! It's been a while, but I think it was probably worth the wait. :) We are welcoming five new characters and (drumroll, please), TWO NEW PLAYERS (yay, welcome!) to the game tonight!

Please give a Happy Horcrux Hello to Alexa, who is joining us and bringing in Bertha Jorkins, and Leigh, who is joining us and bringing in Imogen Warrington.

And then we have these three weirdos adding to their rosters: Emilia is picking up Michael Dawlish, Sabrina is picking up Emily Prewett, and Kaitlin is picking up Amalie Zeller.

Sadly, Khushi has opted to drop Deshan Patil, as well.

So! Please do run by the adding button and run it for all your characters!

A WILD MICHAEL DAWLISH APPEARS.

... actually a mostly-tame Emily (player of Miriam/Gawain/Peadar/&Cecil for the new folks!) appears in order to introduce Mr Michael Dawlish, big brother of Sarah Cornfoot as well as the lately deceased John Dawlish.

IN SHORT: Michael is 33 years old, a former Hufflepuff/Quidditch captain/Golden Boy, who was severely injured (aka almost killed) this past summer whilst performing his duties as a curse breaker. The accident has left him with a permanent limp, a whole lot of scars, and a decent amount of nerve damage -- oh, and a chip on his shoulder the size of a small island nation. Since then he has been keeping mostly to himself, been mostly depressed and surly, but since John's death in late October he has been trying to get his life back together. He works as a wizarding locksmith of sorts, hiring himself out for setting wards or breaking/creating various enchantments on homes or items. IN GENERAL: less depressed (though still rather surly).

Full information on him is located HERE, & as always I'm up for any plot/backstory if anyone has ideas! He's not the sort to indulge in flings so I can't offer him up for those, but he could do with another ex-girlfriend I'm sure (and while he is a great friend, he is a somewhat subpar boyfriend, so I wouldn't be looking for things that ended particularly well). But anyway! I am up for discussing that as well!

As ever, my dears, I'm at rockrates on AIM! Thanks!

Hello everyone! Kaitlin here with my fourth character (damn you Brandi and your addictive game), Amalie Zeller!

Amalie is a trained assassin skilled in knife throwing. She's a Harley Davidson enthusiasist and

I MEAN Amalie is a translator for the Department of Magical Law and she looooooooooves her job. Loves it. She's a strong supporter of the Ministry and believes that they always try to get things right, even if they don't always succeed. She's definitely anti-vigilante, and thinks the Order and the Death Eaters are equally law-flouting and therefore wrong. Shit will go down at Chez Zeller if she ever finds out about her daddy's Order ties.

She was a Hufflepuff from 1969-1976, and her full bio can be found here.

SO friends/enemies/coworkers/schoolmates/ex-boyfriends who she broke up with for dumb reasons? LET ME KNOW!

Hello! I am brand spanking new here, so I apologize if this is a long winded intro. My name is Alexandra (Alexa) and I am just getting back into the role play thing again. I have a lot of experience under my belt, but most of it was back in the GJ days and before LJ sucked (sorry if that offends anyone!). I quit four years ago when I went off to college because I'm an English Writing major, and here I am 4.5 years later (super senior ftw?) starting to get back into it. I blame HBP as an inspiration. I was looking for a solid game that seemed like it was going to stick around, and FTH was on find-the-player, where I originally posted about coming back to RP. Like I said, I'm a super senior at Mizzou (so Central Time!) but I'm from Michigan so I'm in Eastern Time right now. The time change is confusing so I just listed Central as my time zone.

And now onto what I'm sure you care more about.. BERTHA JORKINS! I didn't want an intense character to come back to, so Bertha is rather enjoyable, jovial and lighthearted. She currently works in the Office of Improper Use of Magic within the DMLE, and she's a bit scattered, brainless and clumsy. She aspires to be an Auror, but right now she's just working her way up the ranks in her own Office. Let's face it, she's too discombobulated to be an Auror. She doesn't support any side just yet because she feels obligated to be neutral due to her position in the Ministry. She is really anti-blood purity though, and she'll eventually become an Order supporter. She doesn't know what the Order is right now though.

Now for the lighter things, Bertha was a Gryffindor from 1969-1976, so she's two years older than the Marauders. She had no special positions while at school. She thought that making it through in 7 years without flunking out was an accomplishment enough. She has at least two (potentially three) Remembralls because she has a tendency to forget or lose one. Bertha is 21 going on 22 years old and lives somewhere. If anyone needs a roommate or something, let me know because she's available. Bertha is a Halfblood and has both Muggleborn and Muggle family. Aside from that, I'm sure I forgot things so please check out her information or application, both are public on this journal.

I'd love to plot and I'm very excited to be here! You can find me on AIM at "inthepinque" or email to "alexawrites [at] gmail [dot] com" and my CDJ is inthepinque. Feel free to friend it! I'm looking forward to this! I'm uploading icons for Bertha tonight so expect a journal from her tomorrow, I think!

Thanks!
Alexa
