Chimney Rock: The School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry, USA.

It's the summer of 1991. A lazy summer afternoon's mail arrives, and you, an eleven-year-old, receive a letter, addressed to you on an old looking parchment envelope, sealed with a wax seal. It reads as follows:

Greetings,

You have been accepted to Chimney Rock, the school of witchcraft and wizzardry. Term begins on September first. You will arrive by train. There will be departures from New York City, Orlando, Chicago, and San Fransisco at noon exactly. Regardless of the city from which you depart, the platform you must reach is 5 1/4. Enclosed you will also find a book list and a list of supplies for your first year at Chimney Rock. I look foward to seeing you on September first.

Sincerely,

Ichabod Dellman
Headmaster
Chimney Rock School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry

As you can probably gather, this is an RP running parallel to the Harry Potter series, located in the good 'ol USA. Chimney Rock is located in a secluded valley in the Rocky Mountains, guarded by various spells to prevent Muggles from running across it. It is set up college campus style, with a large central building for meals and classes, and separate dormitories for each of the houses. The houses are as follows:

House Heads and Colors:

Oakenfern- Professor Oackenfern. Qualities: idealistic, brave, intelligent, naive, strong mental discipline.
Colors: Green and brown

Clawgirth- Professor Green. Qualities: strong (mentally or physically, or both), intelligent, brave, loyal, sometimes not very careful, protective.
Colors: Royal Blue and Silver

Viperfang-Professor Simon. Qualities: clever, secretive, intelligent, determined, will go to any lengths to achieve goals.
Colors: Black and Red

Chipperscrat-Professor Lin. Qualities: sharp-witted, clever, persevering, creative
Colors: Gold and Dark Purple

Beckenhoof-Professor Namid Orenda. Qualities: wise, cautious, enjoys the company of others but is somewhat shy
Colors: Orange and yellow

The Staff is as follows:

Headmaster: Ichabod Dellman. A middle-aged man with red wild hair and green eyes. He has a rather stocky build, and commands a very authoritative, strict presence. He was an Auror during the first rise of Voldermort.

Charms: Professor Samantha Lin. A younger woman, a few years out of school, of Korean descent. She has long dark hair usually tied back in a ponytail, and soft dark eyes. She has a great deal of patience with her students, which earns her the status of favorite teacher among many of them.

Herbology: Professor Flora Langhsly. A tall, spindly woman, older, with salt and pepper colored hair tied back in a bun. She has a very tight looking face despite the wrinkles, and has keen hazel eyes. She is perhaps one of the strictest professors, but has a lot to offer her students.

Defense Against the Dark Arts: Professor Blaze Green. An animagi whose chosen form is a tiger. Blaze has a very strong, serious personality that suits his subject well. He is determined to prepare his students to encounter and defeat the dark arts. He stands a striking 6'4", has wild blond hair and sharp blue eyes.

Divination: Professor Mida (meaning Prophetess) Orenda. The twin sister of Professor Namid, Mida has long, dark, braided hair streaked with a few prominent shades of gray. She is a rather short woman, somewhat round, but has soft eyes, and is always very kind. She draws on the magic of her native culture and melds it with European magic to create a unique form of Divination, something quite a bit more accurate than Hogwarts' Divination teacher.

Astronomy: Professor Namid (meaning star dancer from a Cheyenne dialect) Orenda. Mida's twin sister, though much taller and quite a bit thinner. Namid has the same dark hair streaked with gray, and the same warm eyes. She also draws on her culture in her subject. The two sisters are very close.

Care of Magical Creatures: Professor William McGregor. Dark brown hair and eyes, his hair hangs in his face, and he appears to be quite shaggy and rogue-ish, much to the female students' delight. He has a loud, outgoing personality, but tends to be a loner. He has great enthusiasm when teaching his subject, as a graduate of Hogwarts.

Ancient Runes: Professor Jacob Cecil-Tall yet looks underweight. Professor Cecil is probably the oldest and most boring of the teachers. He?s completely bald with dull hazy gray eyes and a pale complexion. When he talks he?s very monotone

Arithmancy: Professor Jeremy Oakenfern-A 30-year-old man with jet black hair and brown eyes. A direct descendant of the long deceased Ferdinan Oakenfern, one of the original founders of the school. His build is quite similar to the headmaster?s and if you weren?t paying attention you could easily get them confused. He has all the characteristics of Oakenfern house and was once a very prominent Auror.

Occlumency: Professor Mike Lenon-A man of 23, who graduated Chimney Rock 5 years prior. It is his first time as teacher and is very nervous on making sure not to be a mean teacher. Overall he?s a very hansom young man with blond hair, green eyes, and a nice golden tan.

Groundskeeper: John Johnson-A heavy-set man (not fat, but ain?t muscular either, ?big boned? if you will) is one of the sterner staff members, not exactly someone you want to pick a fight with.

School Caretaker (like Filtch):Samuel Peterson. An older fellow with large glasses and very bad hearing, Samuel, or ?Sam? as he prefers to be called by the students and teachers, is a very kind old fellow. He?s always very helpful, and is always up for causing, or helping cause, mischief!

Flying Lessons/Quiddich Ref: Professor Paul Simon-Rather pudgy, Professor Simon is very strict and is known to play favorites, although not to the degree of Professor Slughorn of Hogwarts.

Librarian: Professor Rebecca Nellis-A short little fidgety woman who always seems to think someone is out to get her, whether it is a student, college, or anyone else.

Nurse: Miss Leanne Martin. A very pretty young lade with highly advanced magical medical training, Leanne is a favorite among ailing male students (and even teachers!!!). A descendant of a Veela, Leanne reatains many of those characteristics. She stands at an average height, has a slender build, long honey-colored hair and warm blue eyes. The heartthrob of the school.

OUr "Diagon Alley" is called Mysterium Square. All Chimney Rock students from across the US travel there by floo powder. It's actual location is kept very secret for obvious reasons... The shops and pubs are as follows:

Bank: Brindlow
Tailor: Lockhorn
Petstore: Fangs, Fur, and Feathers
Broomstore: Great Heights
Pubs: Iron Horse
Wandmaker: Kinderflame

Our "Hogsmeade" is called Salem Hollow. Students of the third year and above are allowed to visit. We'll post more info about it when the time arises. :)


Raichu Master will supply maps of the school. It?s set up like a college campus, located in a small valley in the Rocky Mountains. Each House has its own building for its dormitory, surrounding the central building, which contains the classrooms and meal hall. There is a Quiddich Pitch located on the campus, as well as lots of open space, including the surrounding mountains. Students are to remain in bounds at all times, which means that they are to remain in the valley.

There will also be a Triwizzard Tournament held each year at Chimney Rock. The junior division is an inter-House competition, while the upper division is international. The tournament will begin after Christmas, so more details will be provided later. Quiddich is also played at Chimney Rock, but only students in the third year and above are allowed to try out.

There will be balls held for each major holiday as well!!

If you would like to join this RP, fill out the form below. All potential Rpers MUST submit an RP sample along with their form, and either myself or Raichu Master will approve/disapprove accordingly.

Please note that due to the lack of space needed to make them decent when Photobucket tags them, nothing is drawn to scale. You might notice that some of the lettering is scratchy, I'll improve it and put a notice up when I can get Photobucket to cooperate with me. The ground map turned out to be the worst so here are the labels:

Building closest to the entrance (left side) is the Grounds Keeper's quarters. The 5 squares to the right of it are the dorms. The center block is Clawgirth, the upper right block is Viperfang, the upper left is Oakenfern, the bottom left is Chipperscrat, the bottom right is Beckenhoof. The large rectangle standing vertical next to the group of squares is the main school building. The rather large rectangle in the far upper right hand corner is the Quidditch Pitch, where flying instruction will also be held. The block in the bottom left hand corner is where Care of Magical Creatures is located, and the last rectangle, angled on it's side and right below the school building is the Greenhouse where Herbology is located.

Name: mathew Burlingame
Nickname: Matt
Appearance Along with his other siblings, Matt has light brown hair and green eyes. Matt looks matured beyond a normal 11 year old, making him seem 2 years older. He prefers muggle clothing and can occasionally be seen wearing a navy blue robe over his clothing. Matt is rather tall for his age and is all knees and elbows.
Personality: Being the oldest of the quadruplets, Matt is very responsible and is the only child that has shown any potential as a wizard, the others have yet to show signs of their magical heritage. Matt willingly takes responsibility for the actions of his other three siblings and always sticks up for them, making him very confident in himself and his brother and sisters.
House: Clawgirth
Pets: N/A
RP Sample: "Wake up!" Matt's mother said behind his closed doors. Matt sat up in his bed and looked around dazed and confused, the last thing he remembered was that he was in a cavern battling a dragon. "Are you in there?" her voice said again as she started knocking on his solid oak door.

"Yes, mother. I'm coming..." Matt called back lamely as he slipped the covers from over his body and got out of his bed slowly but surely. Stretching, and letting out a long drawn out yawn, Matt scratched his back and shuffled over to the door and opened it.

Matt jumped back out of surprise, his mother was still standing there red faced from screaming. "I said I was coming," Matt sighed as he scurried passed her and down stairs to join the others for breakfast, hoping there was something left for him.

Name: Rebecca Burlingame
Nickname: Becca
Appearance: Rebecca also has light brown hair and green eyes, and is alittle smaller than Matt. She's very well proportioned, not terribly skinny like Matt and you can't say she's the least bit chubby either. She loves exercise and would rather run instead of relax. She normally has her hair, which comes to the middle of her shoulder blade, pulled back into a pony tail, with a red bandana wrapped around her head and is right below where the pony tail begins. Quite the tomboy, Rebecca's ambition was to become a carpenter or a mechanic, or possibly both, so she normally dressed the part. She normally wears a pair of carpenter pants with a loose t-shirt.
Personality: She's a tomboy, she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and rather roll around in a mud puddle than take a bath. Matt calls her a hypocrit because when she's around a boy she likes she tries to impress him by not acting like a tomboy, but rather like just another schoolgirl. She's quite bubbly, and isn't afraid to introduce herself to everybody insight.
House: Oakenfern
Pets: N/A

Name: Russell Burlingame
Nickname: Russ
Appearance: Russ, as well with his older siblings, has light brown hair and green eyes. Looks can be deceiving with him also, for he was a rather small baby at birth and never made up for the height when he grew up. Not a migit by any means, the result of the birth defect (for lack of a better term) is that he appears to look very young for his age, more like a 9 year old than an 11 year old. Russ likes to wear shorts and a nice comfortable t-shirt.
Personality: Russ is completely shy and only talks to his other siblings. Matt and Rebecca are always trying to build up his self-esteem but Russ seems unwilling to do anything for fear he might screw it up and everyone will hate him afterwards. Although he does look to Matt and Rebecca as a role model and tries to follow in their footsteps, although most of the time he fails.
House: Beckenhoof
Pets: N/A

Name: Kelsey Burlingame
Nickname: Kelly
Appearance: Kelly, like the rest, has light brown hair and green eyes. She looks more like a twin to Russ, since they're the same height and look to be the same age as well. Kelly normally wears shorts and a nice comfortable t-shirt, trying not to mimic Russ, she leans toward the girls style of clothing trying not to appear as a tomboy like Becca.
Personality: Like Russ she's extremely shy, and only talks to her other siblings. She's quite a bit more feminine than Becca, and is frequently annoyed by her older sister. On the other hand, both Russ and Kelly admire their eldest sibling, Matt. Kelly is more independent than the others, but it doesn't show as much as she would like since she's so quite and shy.
House: Beckenhoof
Pets: N/A

Name: Alexis Barnes
Nickname (Optional): Lex
Physical Description: Standing just under five feet, Lex has an average build for girls her age. Still getting rid of baby fat through growth spirts, she isn't exactly the kind of girl anyone would take much notice of. She has chin length dirty blond hair and hazel eyes, tends to wear jeans and a t-shirt when not in her school uniform, and smiles are a rarity.
Personality: Lex is very much a loner, preferring to stay away from most people. She likes to distract herself with school work and single-person hobbies like jogging and knitting. She can be kind of snappish around people, which earns her the reputation of a snob, but it's only because she feels awkward or threatened.
House: Chipperscrat
Pet: None
RP Sample: "Lay off, will you?" Alexis snapped sharply, her usually meek voice tinged with a bite of anger. She shrugged her older brother's arm from her shoulders and elbowed him in the ribs sharply. He stepped back, looking offended.

"Stupid brat..." he grumbled, narrowing his eyebrows at her and taking off into the house.

Alexis watched him leave and sat down on the worn steps to the porch of her home. The mid-afternoon sun was casting an orange glow on everything. The yellowish parchment in her hands fluttered idly in the breeze, and Alexis pushed stray strands of her short hair behind her left ear. Her hazel eyes darted across the words scrawled out in jagged, black ink.

In a few weeks' time, she would be boarding a train in New York to go to a wizzarding school, something no one in her family had ever heard of doing. Instead of feeling excited, Alexis only felt isolated. She would go, but only because her parents wanted her to. She took one last look around the yard, the sprinkler spraying water apathetically at the thirsty grass, the cars passing lazily by the house. She scrunched up her face and headed back inside for a glass of water.

I'm kinda busy, Skye, but I'm posting to say that I'll post. I'll update the important bits later.

Name: Josh McScott
Nickname (Optional): Batesy
Physical Description: -Soon-
Personality: -Soon-
House: Slytherin (For a change of pace)
Pet: Eagle. Trained as an owl but stronger and more fierce.
RP Sample: -Soon- *digs up old MAH*

Character 1:

Name: Rachel Lorenzo

Nickname (Optional): Rei

Physical Description: Rachel stands at around 5 feet tall with a slender build. She has short brown hair, which is feathered and layered and Emerald green eyes, accompanied by a pale complexion. She prefers wearing muggle clothing when permitted to wear her own clothes. This normally consists of a pair of flared jeans and a long sleeved black top. A silver dragon pendant hangs around her neck

Personality: Rachel is a quiet and creative individual who would gladly choose to stay in doors and draw or write, rather than play outside, no matter what the weather. She takes great care in her studies and is always the voice of reason in an argument, though she is known to have a rather short temper when things get out of hand. She is not afraid to speak her mind, be it to a teacher or a close friend or enemy, but she takes great care in what she says.

House: Chipperscrat

Pet: A small silver mouse called Cheddar.

Character 2:

Name: A?isha Lorenzo

Nickname (Optional): Lisha

Physical Description: A?isha has mid length brown hair, streaked with silver and emerald green eyes, accompanied by a rather tanned complexion. Like her twin, she also prefers wearing muggle clothing, which normally consists of a pair of beige three quarter length trousers and an overly large blue top with a large picture of a Leviathan printed on the back and a smaller version printed on the chest. Brown sandals are normally her footwear of choice and a red bandana hands around her neck. A pair of black sunglasses lay perched atop her head to keep the unruly strands of hair at bay.

Personality: A?isha is a determined and fun loving individual, who likes nothing more than bending the rules to suit her pleasure. Unlike her twin, A?isha is loud and furthermore, a trouble maker who cares not for how much trouble she gets into. Brave yet foolish, she normally finds herself in all sorts of trouble, be it verbal or physical, she never backs don from a fight.

House: Viperfang

Pet: A small olive Lizard called Gex.

RP Sample:

?Rei!?

There was no answer from with in the bedroom and all of a sudden there was a loud echoing bang as a young girl entered, waving what looked like an aging piece of parchment in her right hand. Her grin almost split her face and her eyes were alight with a sort of mischief.

She pounced onto the bed and there was a painful ?oomph? as it came in contact with the sleeping figure that lay beneath the sheets. Slowly an angry face appeared from beneath the quilts and glared daggers at the similar looking girl who lay atop her.

?What?? She asked in a rough tone, throwing her twin to the floor and sitting herself up on the bed.

A?isha picked herself up from the floor and held the piece of parchment close to her twin?s face ?Look! We got in!? was her reply as she let the piece of parchment drop into her sister?s hands.

Rachel looked over it eagerly, skimming the boring parts in till she reached the end of the invitation to participate in Magical classes at one of the most renowned school in USA, Chimney Rock?s school of witch craft and wizardry!

At once, Rachel threw the quilts off of herself and made towards her wardrobe. She threw a glance over her shoulder at A?isha and glared at her ?Get out! Come on we have to get ready!?

A?isha arched an eyebrow ?Rei?school term doesn?t start for another 2 weeks?

It's time to try another harry-potter-universe RP!! XD

Name: Robert Price

Nickname (Optional): (shhh, it's vewy, vewy secret. >_>)

Physical Description: Physically tall for someone his age, with a bit more muscle than usual, he wouldn't really be very intimidating if it wasn't for his cold stares, and the haunted look in his hazel eyes. He has dark brown hair (At least, at this point in time. >_>) and very dark shadows underhis eyes, giving him the look of someone who's been awake for a few weeks.

Personality: Suiting his house perfectly, Robert is very intelligent and cunning, but usually hides it, playing the fool to boost his chances of making friends. He is very rescourceful, however, but not mean, he almost never uses his natural rescources to do anything bad, unless he's in a paticularly foul mood. He does have a prankster streak, but he keeps it controlled. Usually.

House: Vipervang

Pet (Optional, and not limited to a cat, owl, rat, or toad, but be semi-realistic): (Like this nickname, it's a secret, dun worry, all shall be revealed soon enough. >D)

RP Sample: I sighed. I had dealt with rangers and druids before, and he acted like one perfectly. So, I said "It's not just the people. According to what I heard, the whole world is doomed, and if we don't stop him here, he'll come to other ones. From what I understand, he'll kill off the forests, poison the oceans and the skies, and so on." I was lying of course, he hadn't told me that, but an educated guess told me it would probably happen. "So, it looks like you just may have a reason to help us." I noticed the girl again, and in answer to her question, I said "I assume so. It wasn't with me until after the old man spoke."

OOC: Just for the sake of being fair, we'd appreciate it if you'd put a sample up, Shiney. :) I don't want to deal with anyone not being accepted because of their RP sample and then being all like "Well, Shiney got in and didn't post one!!"

So far, looks like everyone's in...and I'm sure you won't have a problem either, Shiney ;)

OOC: Strider you're in, great job on your characters and RP Sample! Can't really do anything about Batesy until he gets his profile done. Shiney...*sigh*...yes you must fill out the RP Sample. The whole reason for the profile, at least for me, is the RP Sample, it's used to showcase and show off your skill. I pull no favors and I don't play favorites, everyone must post an RP Sample, with no exceptions. Sorry it's a pet peeve I have...

Erm, not to sound impertinent or anything, but as this is in the States, shouldn't we be playing Quadpot over Quidditch?

Name: Seth Merrel
Nickname: None

Physical Description: Seth is a little shorter than average (something he's rather touchy about), and rather wiry to boot, making him a seemingly inviting target for bullies. Only seemingy so, he's reasonably skilled at Aikido. He has light brown, almost golden eyes and fine, straight blonde hair grown down just a little past his ears. When not in school robes, he typically wears a pair of ripped-up (not his fault, all his pants get that way after a few weeks of wear) camo pants, a black t-shirt, and if the weather demands it, an army field jacket. His footwear typically consists of a pair of serviceable boots.

Personality: Seth is always one with a wry, sardonic, but somehow charming grin. He's rather friendly, much preferring to trust someone over even observing their behavior before doing so. Hence, he's been hurt before, but he still will let people into his life easily, perhaps a little to easily. He's quite intolerant of bullies, though, and will step up in the defense of anyone as best he can. So too does intolerance bother him, having watched his brother (now a fifth year) struggle with homosexuality and the iherant bullcrap that comes with it, he will jump down the throat of anyone who doesn't seem to have a particularly open mind about social issues. it should also be noted that he has perhaps an unnatural preoccupation with the Dark Arts.

House: Oakenfern
Pet: A dog, Deio by name.

RP Sample: "Ow..." I gasped, picking myself up off the rocks. After giving myself a quick once-over, to see if anything was bleeding too badly (my right palm concerned me a little, about half of the skin was scraped off), I limped to the edge of the cliff, looking down to check on the status of my bike. Seeing it pained me worse than any of my current injuries. I'd sunk $1,500 into that thing!

Besides, personal injuries gave you a good story to tell, busted equipment just made you look like an idiot.

Busted, my bike definately was. The front rim was twisted beyond repair, and it looked (I couldn't quite tell from this height) like I had a few spokes broken on my back tire. Given how it seemed to have landed, I probably had a broken derailer, too. Not that any of these really mattered at the moment, or ever again, the frame had somehow managed to twist itself around the steering coulmn. "Sonuva.." I muttered, looking down at the mangled wreck. sighing, I began looking around for a trail down. I was in no condition for even for a climb that short.

OOC: *shrugs* I suppose Quidditch will do nicely.

You're in Jake, unless Skye has any objections.

OOC: Mari, I always love reading your work, it's great to have you in the group! You're accepted!

Myrrh, you might want to include more depth in your character's appearance and personality. You're RP Sample is fine with me. But I'd like to see a bit more time put into the appearance and personality section, if you don't mind. I might help if you put it in paragraph for like the rest. Sorry...I just have a few pet peeves when it comes to profiles...short ones really bug me...sorry...I hope you don't mind... :(

Shiney, I guess I'll wait for Skye...my head hurts from all the typing, and the thinking, and the waiting, and the...you get my point. Anyway, I'll let skye handle the rest...

Well, I guess we wait to see if my better half ok's you guys! I have a feeling she's a little easier than I am, although I've given up trying to figure out women...so I could be wrong! ^^

Name: Raelin Campbell
Nickname (Optional): Rae
Physical Description: Petite and short ? Rae is a girl who moves in fluid grace. Her slightly hazelnut colored tresses cascade down to her waist, held together at the top with a forest green ribbon. Her eyebrows are covered by her long, straight bangs ? her eyes peeking shyly underneath. When one examines her eyes carefully enough, one will notice that her eyes constantly change color from green ? yellow ? to hazel.
Rae prefers to dress in loose clothing, plain, yet elegant clothing - such as dresses.
Personality: Raelin always wears a pensive expression on her face, of one who knows, but is not smug about it. She is eager in learning, but other from her schoolwork ? she has no social skills. She disregards any of those people who don?t take rules seriously ? she is a very obedient person.
House: Beckenhoof
Pet: A small grayish-blue kitten named Ula.
RP Sample:
?Raelin ? dear!? her mother exclaimed enthusiastically. ?You?re finally starting school, how?d you feel??

Rae sat in the backseat, petting her kitten Ula ? who was currently purring contently, obviously content to stay in her lap forever. She sighed, stopping petting her kitten momentarily, causing Ula to glance up curiously.

?Mom ? you?re worried, aren?t you?? she asked softly, her gaze downcast.

Her mom stiffened slightly, her knuckles white. ?Dear ??she said, her voice tense, ?I?m not worried, you?ll be fine.? she finished abruptly as the car swerved, muttering a few curse words as their car narrowly missing a massive truck, saved only because their car narrowed itself magically between a sedan and the truck.

Rae sighed. ?You?ll be fine too mom.? She said, trying to smile. In reality though, she was worried. Her mom was always unstable ? ever since the death of her father, and her little brother wasn?t of much help anyways. Who?s going to take care of Irving when I?m gone? she thought worryingly as they reached the station.

As soon as her mom parked the car, Rae rushed out to grab her trunk, with Ula tucked underneath her arm. She rushed off to platform 5 ?, never glancing back, in a meager attempt to contain the tears flowing from her eyes?

Alrighty, my updated Sign Up:

Name: Josh McScott

Nickname: Batesy
Physical Description: Brown hair, blue eyes, fairly tall for a guy his age. Not all that good looking. Slightly overweight, shortish hair, long nails, couple of scars. Nothing out of the ordinary otherwise.

Personality: Josh is an all around smart guy. A bit nice half the time, pranking other half, but smart every day. Very aggressive if someone pushes him too far. Not the kind of Slytherin who would be dark after leaving school.

House: Slytherin (For a change of pace)

Pet: Eagle. Trained as an owl but stronger and more fierce.

RP Sample: (Meh I couldn't find one in MAH so now I'll have to hurt myself and use my brain. XD)

A small rumble was heard as Josh, a brown haired eleven year old burst down the stairs of his house. Since they were on the corner of a highway, everyday he would see the cars heading into town leaving on the right and some heading out further on the left (This was a bugger since it's vice versa here).
Josh went out to the mailbox. Being seven in the morning and first awake he felt he should check it.
'Bills, bills, catelog," he read to himself. "Letter from God, bill, bill, catelog, catelog, bill, catelog, bill, catelog, letter from Chimney Rock, bill -" he paused and went back to the second last letter. "Chimney Rock?" he looked at it. It was definitely addressed to him. He opened it and looked. "Dear Mr. J. McScott, blah, blah, accepted into a wizarding school, blah - Hang on!" he read over it. "Wizarding School?"
Josh took it inside and read more thorougly, scanning every letter with his blue eyes.
"This'll be amazing when I tell mum and dad about this!" he shouted quietly.

OOC: I agree completely with RM....so all looks good. I have a problem with Batesymon's sign up however. Go back and read through the intro again....focusing on the Houses and their names, and I think you'll understand. Thanks!

OOC: YAY! Someone finally agrees with me for once in my life! XD

Once Batesy gets a bit more organized and realizes he ain't at Hogwarts, I'd say everyone is accepted! ^^

Haaahhh You guys haven't started yet!! =D I was debating on joining... Then I didn't come back to PC for like, 3 days, didn't work out so well XD When I saw how huge the page is, I thought you guys already started! Guess not ^.^ Mind if I join, if it's not too late?

Name: Kristopher Noah Ravyn

Nickname (Optional): Adults call him Kris, prefers his friends to call him by his middle name, Noah

Physical Description: Noah is of average height, fair-tan skin, with straight, brown hair that sticks up at it's peak in the front, and slowly tapers lower as it reaches the back of his head. His eyes are a very deep-but bright brown. He has a broad and fit upper-body that narrows as it reaches his feet.

Personality: As his house describes, he is strong (more mentally than physically), loyal, brave, and very protective, but is also very rash (in other words, doesn't like to think when it isn't required). He always pastes a grin on his face, always trying to look towards the better side of things. He'd much rather read about facts that involve his interests, as opposed to fantasy novels, and loves to play sports - soccer in particular, he isn't much of a fan of quidditch, though...

House: Clawgirth
Pet: None

RP Sample:

'Kris, come over here...' His father called. Noah rolled his eyes on impulse, never liking the way the name 'Kris' sounds... Regardless, he dragged himself out of bed, and walked down the stairs, where his dad was standing with a letter, alone... Only reminding Noah of the fight that his parents had gotten into just a few years ago. Pausing for a moment, he continued to walk down the stairs, making his way towards his dad.

'Well... It's evident in this letter that you have you're mother's blood,' his dad chuckled, not wanting to sound sinister.

'What do you mean?' Noah asked with curiosity, not completely understanding.

'Well, I know it was a problem with your mother and I, but... This letter... It says that you've been accepted into Chimney Rock: The School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry... So I can either accept it, or lose a son, and I really don't feel like choosing the second option...'

'If you could deal with it in my case, what was wrong with mom?...' He wanted to ask... But decided it was too much of a sensitive question.


Greetings,

You have been accepted to Chimney Rock, the school of witchcraft and wizzardry. Term begins on September first. You will arrive by train. There will be departures from New York City, Orlando, Chicago, and San Fransisco at noon exactly. Regardless of the city from which you depart, the platform you must reach is 5 1/4. Enclosed you will also find a book list and a list of supplies for your first year at Chimney Rock. I look foward to seeing you on September first.

Sincerely,

Ichabod Dellman

OOC: Sure I think it's ok! I say you can join, I'm not sure how many people Skye was looking for, I'm sure she doesn't have a member limit. But I suppose we shall wait and see.
