They are particularly instated in high hopes that Hogwarts will flourish as a school rich with a variety of different characters so that that will in turn lead to a variety of different plots, happenings, and circumstances. Thank You Under NO circumstances will Mary Sue characters be tolerated. Mary Sues are characters that are quite literally perfect in every aspect. They are friends with everyone, make top grades, never do anything wrong, and are stunningly pretty. Since this is impossible in the both real and magical world, it will not be tolerated on this site. Characters with special powers (werewolves, vampires, elementals) are not common in Hogwarts, and therefor will not be common in this community. You must attain SPECIAL PERMISSION from either myself, the headmaster, or a co-admin to play a character with special powers. Be prepared to offer a detailed history of your character and a lengthy roleplay sample. If you submit a character application detailing your character as having special powers before attaining permission, it will be immediately rejected. Remember to play you character true to his or her AGE. If your character is a first year, it is hardly feasable that they would be able to preform the cruciatus curse on a seventh year student. Similarly, second years probably won't be involved in a relationship with their Professor, or be involved in a 'serious' relationship. Though it is possible, please keep in mind the age and maturity level of your character. Lastly, treat others with respect IC and OOC. Just because your character is a Slytherin, it doesn't mean that they have to be terrible to everyone. Likewise, Gryffindors won't always be the heros. Tryand make your character as unstereotypical as possible. « Last Edit: Mar 17, 2007, 1:04pm by Professor Erin Abaira » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» General Information--------------------- Hogwarts Academy of Magic Information and Updates --- Plot Updates- Rules and Guidelines- Applications --- Student Applications --- Staff Applications --- Shopkeeper Applications --- Outside Adult Applications --- Special Ability Applications- Character Development --- Character Profiles --- Wanted Ads --- Personals --- Falwrick's Order --- Brotherhood of the Sanctus Peregrimus Cruor --- The Ministry Union for the Bettermment of Mankind --- Society for the Welfare of Impures --- Alliance for a Rebirth in Fire- Suggestions, Comments, and Questions--------------------» Hogwarts Academy of Magic--------------------- Dungeons and Sub-Levels --- Potions Classroom --- The Potion Master's Office and Private Stores --- The Kitchens --- Hufflepuff Common Room --- Slytherin Common Room- Ground Floor --- Entrance Hall --- Great Hall --- Staff Room --- Caretaker's Office- First Floor --- Muggle Studies Classroom --- Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom --- History of Magic Classroom- Second Floor --- Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor's Office --- Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom- Third Floor --- Charms Classroom --- Trophy Room and Armor Gallery --- Hospital Wing- Fourth Floor --- The Library --- Muggle Studies Professor's Office --- History of Magic Professor's Office- Fifth Floor --- Arithmancy Classrom --- Ancient Runes Classroom --- Transfiguration Classroom --- Prefect's Bathroom- Sixth Floor --- Universal Common Room --- Herbology Professor's Office --- Transfiguration Professor's Office- Seventh Floor --- Gryffindor Common Room --- Divination Classroom --- Divination Preofessor's Office --- Charms Professor's Office --- Room of Requirement- Towers --- Ravenclaw Common Room --- Astronomy Classroom --- Astronomy Professor's Office --- The Owlery- Staff Sleeping Chambers --- Erin Abaira's Chamber --- Logan Adams' Chamber --- Vincent Arion Riguel's Chamber- Outside and Environs --- The Lawns --- Gamekeeper's Cabin --- The Greenhouses --- Care of Magical Creatures Classroom --- Quidditch Pitch --- The Courtyard --- Forbidden Forest --- The Lake--------------------» Great Britain--------------------- Diagon Alley --- Conroy's Cauldrons --- Daily Prophet Offices --- Eeylop's Owl Emporium --- Flourish and Blotts Bookstore --- Gringott's Wizarding Bank --- Ollivander's Wands Shop- Hogsmeade --- Dervish and Banges --- Gladrags Wizardwear --- The Hog's Head --- Honeydukes Sweetshop --- Madam Puddifoot's --- Post Office --- Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop --- The Shrieking Shack --- The Three Broomsticks--------------------» Out of Character--------------------- Affiliates- General Discussion- Board Games- Graphics Board --- Signature of the Week Competition- Express Yourself --- Fan Fiction --- Poetry --- Artwork
