Welcome to Chapter Thirteen! We're a literate Harry Potter RPG set in the year 1294 - needless to say, things are a little different at Hogwarts. It's a different building and a different structure, all in a completely different world.
If you're looking for a literate RPG that focuses on your plot and character ideas and where almost anything goes, Chapter Thirteen is the place for you!
Currently we are playing any time between January and March 1294. Want to know what the weather's like? Click here.
This teaching stuff wasn't as easy as he had anticipated it would be, and the brats children were annoying exuberant to the point of homicidal tendencies exhaustion for the poor new teacher. -Ignatius Flint
[03.24.09] Hey, check out the fancy list of threads! It's a list of all of the threads, current and archived, including a list of participants and a short summary. :)
Becca Amherst is nosy, and likes to help people whenever she can - perhaps a little too much. She is outgoing and incredibly competitive. Though a bit overbearing at first, she does have a good heart, and makes friends a lot easier than she makes enemies. Now that she's a little older she's calmed down somewhat, but when she was younger she usually tried to befriend older students rather than younger ones.

Catrina is obnoxious - and it's a miracle she's managed to survive this long. She is loud, rude, inconsiderate, and does things just for the sake of doing them and getting a rise out of people. However idiotic she appears to be, though, she is actually incredibly intelligent; her grades don't reflect this, though, because she considers herself 'too cool for school' - Merlin forbid Cat Yates actually work to get higher than an A! Despite her loud exterior, she is a decent friend, if you can stand her and her sarcasm long enough.
Rhiannon is an evil Hufflepuff - an oxymoron, to be sure, but she manages. Though she is sweet and bubbly on the outside, to the point of being annoying (she's overly nice to her enemies with the hopes of irritating them to death), she practices the dark arts more than is probably healthy because her older brothers, Dai and Haydn, led her to believe her family would think her weak if she didn't. Since she would do anything for their acceptance, she picked them up, but now has become so deeply involved in them that it's hard for her not to practice the curses and hexes, even though at the back of her mind she still knows that they're wrong. She was married to Leo Sexton about six months ago.

Dominic does not like anyone and he doesn't care who knows. In order to make people avoid him he is scathingly sarcastic and doesn't know how to turn this sarcasm off; he also doesn't really know how to deal with people who they don't eventually get fed up with him, though he'll figure it out sometime soon. He's not a bad person, per se, but he's not a good one either. He likes to win and plays Chaser in quidditch.

tristanhowland twenty-twoandauror
Quiet and laid back, Tristan was (and technically still is) the sort of Gryffindor who doesn't usually manage to get himself into painful scrapes because he's one of the rare few who also has common sense to go along with his bravery. After graduating at Hogwarts he became an auror and currently lives in Hogsmeade so he can be close to Casey while she finishes up her school. He's fairly easy going, if on the quiet side, and a good friend - but only if you can manage to earn his trust.

Well, I won't be filling out a form thingy, but I was just thinking since Tristain is an auror, he might have heard of Ignatius' unfortunate incarceration. Might not take well to his lovey going to a school with a convicted (though turned convicted) "criminal." XD At the same time I dunno how they could meet if he's not at the school anymore...unless he visits or they run into each other in Hogsmeade.
Actually...they're quite close in age. o__o Weird...
XD They are. And yeah, he probably would have heard about Iggy's incarceration, and no, he would not be thrilled to find out Ignatius teaches at Hogwarts. He might visit the school but more likely they'd run into each other in Hogsmeade... unless Ignatius avoids it?

Haha! Oh no, he wouldn't avoid it at all. He needs his beer and meade and stuff. XD Must escape from the brats! I don't know what would prompt either guy to approach the other, aside from some kind of mishap. Or if Tristan would go looking for him, for whatever reason....I dunt nu!
Mmm... a mishap yeah, or unless there were like rumours about Ignatius being all evil and stuff up at the school or something (started by some annoyed kid or whatever - I could see Cat spreading rumours because he enforced the rules or something :P ), in which case he would probably go looking for him to figure out if that's actually the truth or not (combination auror responsibility/concern for Casey).

Well, Azzy is always good for a mishap. He need only land in someone's drink accidentally (or not) to cause a scene. XD
Ignatius would certainly still be doling out detentions if he's able to. XD Make people do chores around the school and stuff like that. Cat could have been a victim of such a thing. And yeah, he might have done background checks of the teachers (if he's that paranoid/bored) and be all "WTF there's a murderer in there?!" XD I don't know if there might be "photos" in this time yet, so he might not even know what Ig looks like. They could be talking for some time before they introduce each other and Tris is all like "Dude yer the guy!" XD
Well, Tris wouldn't do background checks until he started hearing rumours... plus, since he was probably still training when Ignatius got thrown into jail, so the name might be familiar if he was keeping track of all of the trials going on. (Like, he might have noted the case in passing, so when he hears the name again he's kind of like, "...why do I know that name?!")
lol. That'd be funny. XD And no, I don't thikn they'd have "photos" and since Ig's a convict (so to speak :P ) there's no reason to paint a portrait of him or anything.
Mm, I can try and throw something up later today :) I need to do some homework (and shower and do my laundry and clean the bathroom and finish some job apps >.>) first though :P But! Mark my words, it'll be done by tonight.
Unless you want to start it, in which case go for it ;)

Hmm, maybe she visits Hogsmeade and stops in? Sees him with some papers for an investigation on Flint, and then she does her thing about getting curious over it all...how's that sound?
Sure, that would work (as long as it's a surprise visit, since Tris is too paranoid about Casey being herself to let her find out that Ignatius was in prison XD ). Want to start it or no?

Sure, she's big on surprises ;-) And yeah, I'll start it.
Character: Rebecca Amherst House/Age: Gryffindor, 18 Relationship and/or History? The two met when Becca first got Sorted. They're pretty good friends, though not sworn bosom buddies. Casey enjoys Becca's company and their outgoingness matches. Sometimes they can be quite competitive, but it's all in good fun for these two girls.
