[b]1. What position would you like?[/b]

Below is a list of available positions:

Librarian, Caretaker, Nurse

[b]2. Who are you? (IRL)[/b]

Who are you? Tell us a bit about yourself. What are some of your strengths and weaknesses? What is your name? How old are you? Being a member of the staff at Hogwarts requires immense time and dedication. Can you manage?

[b]3. Why would [i]you[/i] make a good staff member for this site? How will you contribute if your application is accepted?

Being a staff member at Hogwarts is about more than playing a character that is a member of Hogwarts; If your application is accepted, you will act as a co-administrator and have the power to edit boards and threads. What will you do to help out the administrators? Will you accept the responsibilities of managing a site?


[b]4. How can we contact you?[/b]

Please give us your e-mail (required), AIM, MSN, and YIM names (if applicable).


[b]5. What is your character’s name and history?[/b]

Give us a bit of history about your character. Where was he/she raised? What was their early life like? What schooling/work experience have they had? Strive for uniqueness. Make sure to include what your character's role and experience in the years before Voldemort was defeated.


[b]6. What does your character look like?[/b]

Give us a physical description of your character. The more detail, the better.


[b]7. What are some of your character's strengths? Weaknesses?[/b]

Give us some pros and cons to your character. Don’t make them a super-hero – try to balance their strengths and weaknesses out. Everyone’s only human; no one’s perfect.


[b]8. What are your role-playing skills like?[/b]

Please write a response to the following role-play, or, choose a topic of your own.

Minette Brown, a girl whose mousey brown looks and hair completely fit her name, stood in the cold dark hallway clutching her books to herself and shivering. It was only 7 o'clock in the evening, not even near lights out yet, and already the castle was as pitch-dark as midnight. She blamed it on the weather. It was horrible. Outside, menacing grey clouds filled the skies, sending down hordes of rain and lightning, all dancing to the tune of booming thunder. Another resounding sound of thunder made Minette jump and tremble even more fiercely. She wasn't known for her courage; just like a mouse they said, ready to jump and squeak at everything. Now look at her, not even possessing the guts to walk down a simple hallway to her house common. Suddenly Minette heard footsteps, footsteps coming down the corridor, towards her! It could be a professor, it was most probably a student...yes, it probably was...but...but what if it was one of the more malicious Hogwarts ghosts? Squeaking in terror, Minette dropped her books in the middle of the hallway and scurried to hide behind a suit of armor by the wall.
