I haven't done one of these in so long so this is really weird so bear with me
Hello hello! My name is Madeline, and happy start of the game! Those of you that don't know me, I'm a culinary student at what I like to call Culinary Hogwarts, and writing keeps me sane when I'm not surrounded by fattening food and chef whites. I am also the "mod" of the game, with lots of help and dumb questions thrown about the place, so if you have any questions or anything at all just drop me a line! My AIM is getmeacampari, or PM me, and I'll work on getting a player directory up soon!
As for my character, this is your Head Auror, Ambrose Mercier. 35 years old, graduated from Salem Wizard's Institute in 1943, born in New Iberia, Louisiana, on his family's ancestral plantation grounds. He turned his back on his upbringing once he got to the Institute and was devoted to proving himself as a strong and capable Auror, and more or less, he got what he wanted. At a price, though. He used to be fun-loving and the life of the party, and now he tries very hard to stifle it and put his work for the Department first and foremost. He buys into the threats to the country, and almost takes it on as his personal duty to keep it safe. Nothing means more to him than the job, and he won't spare your feelings in reminding you of that.
As for plots and all, anything, really! He's been in the DMLE for a very long time, so you'll probably have heard of him. Even if you're not in the DMLE, you'll probably have heard of him, or seen him in the papers, as the figurehead of the American DMLE, fighting terror threats and keeping the country safe and all that crap. You may have nicknames for him, you might know his bad habits, you might remember him when he wasn't such a hardass back before the promotion, and you might also know how he gets when he actually does let loose - or his bad behavior at Christmas parties.
I look forward to playing with all of you, and have fun!
