Some of you know me from before, some of you know me from other places, and some of you don't know me at all, so for the benefit of the latter group I'm just going to introduce myself and my character like I'm brand new.
Me: Kate, IMable at spellcheckkaboom and emailable at spellcheckkaboom@gmail.com. I'm 26, I teach 11th grade English (American Lit), and I also play at euphorialane (Seamus Finnigan and Roger Davies). I have a small fluffy dog named Gustav (for Gustav Klimt), and I like to drink kind of a lot. And I'm on a roller derby team.
My Character: Everybody meet Patrick Wood, Gryffindor class of 1973. He's a Scotsman, born and raised in Montrose (his father played for the Magpies), but currently residing in Tintagel (Cornwall) with his lovely wife Regan and son Oliver. He was a Prefect and Quidditch Captain/Beater in his time, and since graduation he's become a magigeologist, studying rocks which have magical properties or can be used in magic. He has, in fact, just returned from a long sojourn to northern California, where he's been working on a study of serpentine. For more on Patrick, see his userinfo.
People who would definitely for sure know Patrick include Gryffindors who were in the house between '70 and '73, Prefects of any house between '70 and '73, Quidditch players (or dedicated fans) of any house between '68 and '73, graduates of the class of '73, and particularly Gryffindor Quidditch players between '71 and '73 (the years he was Captain). People who might know Patrick include people who grew up in Scotland, people who currently live in Cornwall, Ravenclaws who are friendly with his wife, and alumni who like a good pickup game of Quidditch.
When I was first in this game, Patrick had established friendships with the Diggorys and the Boneses, which I would definitely like to continue. :) I'd also love for him to have other people to talk to and stuff, so comment and we'll talk backstory and stuff! So uh...yeah! Hi! Nice to be back!
