Hey guys! J again with Oliver Wood this time. You may remember him from the books as the one who gave Harry Potter his start in Quidditch, led Gryffindor to the championship in his last year as captain, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. A few years have gone by and in that time Oliver has become a veteran of professional Quidditch and a media darling.

His world revolves around Puddlemere United, which was fun when he first arrived on the scene and for a couple of years after that. But at twenty-eight, he feels a little too old for the lifestyle and wants somewhere to hang his hat. He gets a bigger kick out of watching Shark Week on the hotel television than going out to clubs and picking up women. He's also a health nut, obsessed with taking care of his body so he can continue to compete like a champion among predominantly younger players. Admittedly, not a whole lot of fun to bring to restaurants, as he will dissect the menu and end up getting the salad and a piece of skinless chicken. If you can look past that, he's an incredibly amiable fellow. Loves manly activities like mountain biking, deep sea fishing, and working on his brooms.

LET'S GET PLOTTING!

Yeah, so... it's been real.

Just kidding! I love this game and all of you. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.

Anyway, I know I'm behind on a tag or two. I'm experiencing an internet/cable service outage at home (curse you, Time Warner). Typing this on my crappy almost-a-smart-phone is getting annoying.

Also, I'm not on AIM a lot, so I made an OOC journal the other day to keep up with everyone outside the game. I'm at @~tankman. You can add me if you like!

ETA: Apparently it's not just me, it's my whole area. They should have it up and running again soon. I assume enough pissed off New Yorkers have called.

Continuing the trend

I'm very sorry about this. Tracey and Simon have been been seriously under-played and I think I should really leave them to someone else to play. I will most likely come back for another round later, when I'm able to devote enough time to the game. Right now is definitely not that time.

Again, I'm very sorry. If any of you want to contact me to chat, please feel free to do so.

So I've been pretty MIA. I know this and I don't like it. Between all my other RPs and school starting up, I've been pretty inconsistent. I've other things that are taking priority and I've been a pretty awful RPer.

That being said, I think I'm going to drop my kids from this round. I LOVE this game and I will be back for March 1st - but for now, I've got to drop out or I'm going to implode with busy-ness.

So! I'll be back.

But just not now. ♥

INCOMING NEWBIE ALERT

Heyyyyyyyyyyya

So I'm a newbie with Zacharias Smith. He's a bit of a lazy asshole, enjoys riling up fights, and running away before he cleans them up. He's got...alot of connections with people such as Megan Jones, Lisa Turpin, Madoc Cadwallader, and Sally-Anne Perks. But that doesn't mean he isn't open for plot! He's quite happy to approach anyone and piss them off.

For OOC stuff, my name's Kore. I can be reached on AIM (though I'm not on much lately) as 'koreofmyth' and can be hit by email fairly easily as kore_of_myth(at)yahoo(dot)com. I also have a HMD/Contact post HERE. Clearly this is my first time with Zacharias so...feel free to give feedback :D

I think that's it, but I'm really looking forward to playing with you all! And did I mention how much I love the premise of this place?

I also want to apologize for disappearing. Out of nowhere. Terry, dramatic bugger that he tends to be :-P, decided to be difficult and his muse sort of disappeared. Then school up and started on me. So I'm going to continue my BLEHness but hopefully will be back swinging this weekend or next week!

I apologize for disappearing! Semester started, then work, and then my roommate/co-worker's stepdad died just last weekend, so I've had to take on his shifts along with mine.

I enjoyed Ron for the very, very short time I played with him, but things are just incredibly busy right now. :[ Letting him go for now, but maybe I'll see some of you in other games at another time?

susie!

Hi, everyone! This is Jas/Terrence Higgs with a second character, Susan Bones. Susan is a former Hufflepuff/badass member of the D.A. Perhaps best remembered by her peers as the girl whose family made headlines in The Daily Prophet not once but twice in the short amount of time she spent studying at Hogwarts. The first time was when the Death Eater who killed her uncle Edgar, his wife, and their four children escaped from Azkaban. Later that year, her aunt Amelia was also murdered. Honestly, she'd much rather be remembered for splinching herself in Apparition than her family's tragic history.

Susan worked with her aunt's prominent friends to bring The Amelia Bones Foundation to life, which works to promote racial harmony through education and dialogue. She's a straight-laced workaholic who recently dumped her fiancée, Michael Corner, because he couldn't settle for number two on her list of priorities. In spite of all this, she wears a big smile on her face and hopes all your fabulously rich characters will attend her charity events. =D!

Plot with me!

Hi, party people! I'm Jas and this is my bb, Terrence Higgs. To save you the trouble of going through his profile, Terrence is a struggling musician. He plays lead guitar in an otherwise all-Muggle garage rock band called The Veins (think The Raconteurs!). He recently gave up his desk job at St. Mungo's, where pretty much his entire family works. His father was a well-respected Healer-in-Charge there before Warrington's father gave a false testimony implicating him in Death Eater activities. It's total rubbish because while Terrence's father may no longer rock dreadlocks and burlap ponchos, part of him will always be a peace-loving hippie on the inside. As you might've guessed, Terrence is pretty pissed off about it, but he's taking calculated steps to make it right. As for his behavior around people who don't interrupt his life in such a manner, he's very laid back and polite. Observant, analytical, a good listener... However, he can disappear for days at a time without warning, so his closest friends and family have to deal with that minor annoyance.

Judging from his little blurb, I'd say he's on friendly terms with Montague, McLaggen, and Perks. But the Warringtons and anyone associated with them? Girl, do not even go there. I'd also love plot with characters that fall in between best friends and mortal enemies!

Oh, and his challenge is supposedly to lust after Astoria Greengrass, so work on that we will! I'm typing this as fast as possible because I only have a month and fifteen days to play this kid, haha.

I've been cross-posting this everywhere but I've got to say it here too!

My roommate, who was quite drunk, decided it would be a splendid idea to spill her full glass of wine all over my laptop - while it was on - while it was open. So I've been MIA because I've been without a laptop. I've been waiting for it to dry out and been crossing my fingers that nothing permanent has happened to it.

Thankfully, I think I'm in the clear.

So I really do apologize for being so MIA. I am going to be back in FULL FORCE!

Hello again, Jenn (Blaise & Sally-Anne) here with character #3. His name is Geoffrey Hooper and he's the Gryffindor prat. :D Things to know about G-face here:

* His bestie is his cousin Elijah, and Wayne Hopkins (or so he says, what Wayne says is probably a different story)
* Works as an Unspeakable (re: paper-pusher for Dept of Mysteries)
* Swears he's hetero, but there might have been this one time at band camp... *cough*
* He's a total mama's boy, who still lives with the crazy lady
* Polyglot – speaks/reads English (obvs), Arabic, Cantonese, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Scots Gaelic, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Can read/understand Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Native American pictographs*, Farsi, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Irish Gaelic, & supposedly Aramaic
* Avoided Azkaban by going to stay with his brother Nate in India, much to the dismay of both of them (however he did enjoy the time he spent at the excavation)
* Loves that musty old book smell. Loves that crisp new book smell. Loves the smell of books- period
* Can speak 436843185 WPM
* Morally ambiguous
* Bad with people - very bad
* Touches his face a lot
* Is also known for repeatedly snapping his fingers several times at once, when he gets a sudden bright idea, is attempting to remember something or to attract someone's attention
* Has a bit of an ego and generally thinks that he's smarter than everyone else
* Thinks everything is a challenge, is threatened when someone is better at him at just about anything, and can be considered petty
* Penchant for whining, complaining, being generally annoying and oblivious to the feelings of those around him
* Is rather good at Quidditch, particularly as a Keeper
* Too bad he's such a prat
* Likes History and life before the 21st (& 20th) century
* Doesn't really get on with his much older brothers (no surprise there), especially since neither of them are willing to take care of their mum like he does
* Is considering putting his mum in a home because he doesn't have the time to care for her anymore (but is at odds with this thought because he loves his mumsy and doesn't want to hurt her feelings... it's just that sometimes she doesn't even know who he is D:)
* Makes a good secret-keeper, surprisingly
* A hypochondriac, just a bit
* His boggart is a whale, he developed an irrational fear of being eaten by a whale after reading Moby Dick as a child

So lets here it- any friends? Exes? I know there've got to be plenty enemies- lets figure out why!

Hello all! This is Elle (Victoria and Greg) with her third character...Eli Fucking Chambers, Ravenclaw 1999. He just decided to add the fucking to his name because he told me it sounded better. He is an excitable Russian whizkid.

He's a muggleborn whose still a bit messed up from spending time in Azkaban, his solution to this problem is to drink heavily. Something of an adrenaline junkie. His older brother whose a responsible healer and shit was the one who pretty much raised him. Eli never sat his NEWTS. He doesn't technically have a job right now, but about a year ago he got drunk off his arse and designed the Quasar Broom, which is one of the best on the markets now. So, he's smart, he just doesn't have any desire to use his brain right now. Oh and he's living with girlfriend Alicia Spinnet, awesome.

Totally down for backstory, connections, potential scenes for him.

Hi! Jenn here (Blaise) with Sally-Anne Perks. She's the kid that didn't grow up, the animal lover, the protester, the loud mouth hippie who likes steak. Summary:

~ Lives with Victoria (Vix) Frobisher.
~ Has pretty much lost count as to the number of tattoos she has. The sleeve of her right arm is a collection of smaller tattoos surrounding an Alice (in Wonderland) and a dragon. She has a smaller collection on her left arm as well as one on her hip and two on her back. She's always thinking about what she'll get next.
~ Pretends that steak isn't the cute cuddly cow she saw at the farm yesterday.
~ Loves superheroes and comic books, especially the X-Men.
~ A big fan of take-away, because she can't cook to save her life.
~ Has no concept of saving money, spends it all on bills, tattoos, and food.
~ Thought Hagrid was the most awesome teacher ever.
~ Enjoys a good laugh, a good drink, and good friends.
~ Likes Paris in the springtime.
~ Can speak French... badly.
~ Wants to backpack the world someday- soon as she can find someone to keep up with her.
~ Is very short. Like, barely 5' short. And likes to wear gigantic heels (bought from consignment shops and hand-me-downs from friends) to trip around in since she's something of a klutz.
~ Wears glasses for when she needs to see- but can get away without wearing them sometimes.
~ "Besties" with Mssr Smith & Mssr Runcorn

LIKES: shiny objects. being loud and objectionable about random things. Star Wars and being forever known as Han Solo. jokes of all kinds (the good, the bad, the ugly). laughing at porn. getting sick on candy. never growing up. that funky white boy music. dancing for absolutely no reason at all. girls & boys & everybody sex. the crip & the regs depending on how much money she has. anyone who likes to get high with her. tattoos and other forms of body art. decorating the flat with paint everywhere.
DISLIKES: orderly conduct, science fiction as a general rule (SW doesn't count.. neither does X-Men). anything Herbology related. crisps. anti-muggleisms. playing by the rules. comments on her spelling. being quiet. last year's rent. insects in general (but especially when they're on her). being sober. not having money for the weed. broken pipes and clogged bongs.

YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH HER. I KNOW IT. ;D

And a bonus for your enjoyment )

Roger Davies

So, yeah. Kristie here...and Roger Davies, sort of.

Anyway, life happens, ya know? And, well, my apologies for being MIA and unfortunately, try as I might, I simply haven't been able to harness my urge to write for him, or anyone for that matter.

That said, I think it is best that I withdraw from the game and let go of Roger Davies, in hopes that since I've been such a miserable prat and haven't played him at all, that his backstory is as open as possible for someone to pick him up.

Again, I'm sorry and I wish you all the very best!

I am not getting comment notifications. When I get back I will contact AOL and see if they have blocked insane journal as a spam mailer.

Hello beautiful people! I'm sorry I've been so slow with the replies the past few days. Either Insanejournal likes to play little games with me or my email is a wretched, horrible thing. I've only been getting a few replies here and there.

If I've missed a thread reply, it isn't because I'm a jerk, haha, it's because I lost it somehow. So I'm going to try and rummage around and find them! Wee! I wouldn't mind some help, of course.

It's pretty late here (>.>) so I'm going to go to sleep but I promise I'll make the proper OOC rounds and stuff tomorrow! :)

I am made of fail! I'm a high school teacher and went back to work this week after holidays - I had forgotten how much actual work that work is, and so I sort of disappeared. Anyway, I'm back! If anyone wants anything to do with Padma or Owen I'm more than happy to talk about it! wishedmodb or fallenlayinglow.

Also, welcome and hello to any and all that I haven't been around to say welcome to. I'm definitely up for some interactions/working out backstory!

Hey kids! My name is Emma and I bring you Daphne Greengrass! She's a former Slytherin, but she's really not all that much of a threat. In fact, she's a bit of a ditz and a catty Cathy who can waffle on about the most pointless things. She's a hopeless daydreamer and loves gossip; in fact, she's probably far more concerned about other people's lives than that of her own. She rarely ever thinks before she speaks and can be a bit blunt and tactless. Daphne currently runs her own boutique in Diagon Alley (thanks to a sizable donation from Daddy, naturally) and lives in the flat above it with her three papillon doggies, who she simply adores and carts around everywhere. She's very competitive about her line and likes the power and bit of fame she's gotten from it. She mostly designs fancy dress robes and sparkly hair accessories (she has a strange fondness of hair bows, as well), but she's pushing to branch off into other accessories and beauty potions - probably biting off more than she can chew. She's not very nice to her employees, but ironically sugary sweet to her customers. Daphne also likes to flirt - a lot. But she has horrid luck with blokes and generally ends up with the wrong sort entirely.

I think that's it. Apologise for my scatterbrain-ness. I have not rp-ed in absolutely ages, so I'm still getting back into the flow. My AIM is edward pwns all and my email/MSN is sugarquills@msn.com. I live in GMT land. ♥
