Good evening everyone! So I decided I kind of want to do a Harry Potter RP and I have an idea I would love to pitch to y'all. So essentially the premise of this RP will be centered around just writing a cooperative story towards a goal. I want to focus on character development and good story telling. I want people to go and all work together to the end goal of the current thread and create sub-plots of their own to go and share with their fellow writers.

We want strong characters, people who you are invested in in order to create awesome stories. That means they are to have certain flaws and act like human beings. Our characters are still kids or teenagers, kids and teenagers make mistakes, hell even adults make mistakes. I sincerely hope that the people who sign up are interested in working on making your teenager or kid grow up and experience life. This means to revel in triumphs, feel anxious and worried, and just experience the spectrum of humanity and emotion.

So now onto the base of the plot.

The nations of Europe are on the verge of war. The Entente powers led by the British Empire under King George V, the Russian Empire under Tsar Nicholas II, and the French Third Republic under President Raymond Poincaré are fighting against the Kaiser of Germany and King of Prussia Wilhelm II, the Ottomans and the Kaiser of Austria-Hungary Franz-Joseph of Austria-Hungary. Why does this matter to the Wizarding World you might ask? Well, we're going to divert from what little is jotted down about this point in the Wizarding World. So let's see why this is important, let's just say what if a cabal of Dark Wizards imperiused the assassins of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in order to manipulate Europe into a war. In this war, it is hoped by this cabal that they can infiltrate the governments of the world and seize control of the muggle world in order to ensure that Wizards and Witches can dominate the world.

Yet, all of our characters are in school, how does this effect us? Simple, upon the declaration of war between Serbia and Austria-Hungary a shadow war began to occur as the Eastern and Central European Wizards began to mirror the conflicts of their muggle counterparts. For, the Eastern and Central European Wizards have it much worse than their Western European and American counterparts. While in Western Europe there is a sense of cooperation with the Muggle authorities, in these countries rogue wizards have finally had enough and have begun to break the Statute of Secrecy. Wizards and Witches have begun to either join in on tormenting the muggles by damaging crops and other nefarious actions and they and their governments that have been supporting this have been declared rogue states if they do not comply with the demands of the International Confederation of Wizards. This august body has demanded that Britain and other compliant nations loan aurors and other experts in hunting down Wizards and Witches to either be embeded with the Allied Armies to prevent magical attacks and to do damage control and to hunt down these rogue Wizards and Witches. What does this mean for people? The Wizarding World is now at war with themselves which means that the whole fabric can come crashing down. A whole generation of Wizards and Witches will grow up with war and such things are terrifying, but life goes on. Do you really think your OWLs and NEWTs will end because of a little war? Of course this whole thing is kept secret, but what will happen if it comes out? Let's find out!

So yeah this is essentially the basic premise. Thoughts, concerns, questions? Post below!

So, is this like a wizard v. wizard story-based role-play?

Because, I'M IN. I'm a complete HP nerd, and I'd be all for jumping in on this.

Especially with Fantastic Beasts coming out, my writing muse will probably be through the roof.

So basically, what we're going to focus on in the first arc is. I'm hoping that we'll make classmates that are associated with each other in some way and my character will pass on a rumor. My character's father will be in charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and they overheard their father mention something big. We'll go and work on finding out what this big thing is namely a Wizarding World War.

The first sign that something is amiss is when we go onto the Train, you find aurors in each compartment and they are basically trying to act like it's not a big deal. Perhaps something can happen, like wizards attack the train? Who knows, we're going to all create the specifics of this story together but work towards the end goal of uncovering the war.

Glad to work with you! Do you have a Skype man? PM it to me if you don't want to post it here.
I think it's "sid.wit". It's been logged in for so long that I don't remember exactly what it was!

So I feel obligated to say this, I don't want to deal with too many people right now due to the fact that it tends to kill Diverse RPs. So I'm going to go out and say that the next 3 people to post expressing interest will be in, the rest will be put on a list by order of posting and if someone goes inactive for too long, I'll cycle them out and add you in.

@Wit, do you have an idea about the avatar?

Appearance:
54d5821e238fd_-_esq-sara-forestier-photo-062911-lg.jpg

Personality: Catherine is ambitious, charismatic, and above all clever. She is immensely capable, a scion of an ancient French family on her mother’s side and a family that served William the Conqueror and their successors for quite a while. Like most Slytherin, she has the reputation of being incredibly ambitious, but her ambitions tend to be more centered around her goal of ensuring that she becomes a renowned witch in her own right. It certainly does help that her family’s connections are nearly as vast as their fortune.

Bio: If you expect a sob story, then you certainly came to the wrong place. Catherine Rémond is the Eldest child and the only daughter of the current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the current head of the Delegate to the International Confederation of Wizards. Her father was a Gryffindor and in his 7 years at Hogwarts he won Gryffindor 7 Quidditch Cups and 4 House Cups. While her mother is a graduate of Beauxbaton who in an exchange program fell in love and kept in contact with her father and after a long courtship, the two were married. The marriage is harmonious and the two love their children quite dearly.

Catherine was born on July 14th, 1897 during her parents summer holiday in their beach home in the South of France. Her childhood progressed normally, she was looked after by the house elf Nora and when her parents weren’t busy, them. She never had to want for anything and luckily her magical abilities manifested when she gleefully turned her preferred blonde hair black. She is a metamorphmagus and her magical abilities also were demonstrated when she levitated the poor family cat. When she was 11 she was accepted to Hogwarts and sorted into Slytherin after a four minute hatstall between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Her talents did not immediately manifest to her frustration. Her father was a prodigy and her mother is considered one of the top witches of her class. Yet, for Catherine, even the most basic spells gave her trouble, but she kept at it. She wanted to be the top of her class, so she would practice for hours, working hard and striving for greatness. By developing this excellent work ethic, her lack of a natural talent soon washed away and she began to pick up spells faster and faster, by her second year, it almost became instinctual due to her rapidly learning the ropes.

She joined the Dueling Club and the Quidditch squad, eventually earning a starting spot after what some argue was too much of a coincidence when the starting player completely and utterly shattered her leg in her second year. Slytherin went on to place second after a heart-breaking loss to their arch-rival Gryffindor. Slytherin went on to win in her third and place third in her fourth. She ascended to the Captain’s position in her fifth and has led the team to another victory in her fifth and a heartbreaking loss in her sixth after she was injured by a bludger in a brutal slugging match with Gryffindor. She was placed under the body-binding jinx due to her absolutely refusing to leave the pitch even with a concussion.

Her OWLs were a complete success nearly getting a perfect score on all of them except for Muggle Studies. Alongside being named Quidditch Captain she was also made a Prefect and in her sixth year she took over the dueling club. She was named Head Girl and cannot wait to attend school. Some wonder how exactly she survived under this workload, but if it’s one thing Catherine is good at it is knowing how to have fun. With dueling and Quidditch (and a lover here and there) she is able to destress. After all, her ambitions aren’t going to happen by themselves.

Other than her OWLs, Catherine has been consistently number one or two in their year, and has a reputation for being willing to help people, if they offer her something in return. Mostly if they owe her a favor, she has built a reputation on being incredibly... opportunistic when she calls them in. For her reputation speaks for itself, defy her at your risk. For she will win, and when she does, it'll be painful.

Character Flaws:
Above all behind the front of a confident and capable witch, Catherine feels pressure, she feels that she needs to succeed and succeed incredibly in order to be an example for her younger siblings and to earn the respect and love of her very successful parents.

Catherine has at many times nearly suffered from nervous breakdowns due to the incredible stress she puts herself through and a major flaw of hers is that, she doesn't like to lose, she doesn't like to quit. So she works herself nearly to death in order to succeed. She's also incredibly proud and a bit of a git because of it. But, she is also incredibly protective if you are her friend. For, making real social connections has always been difficult for her due to her intensity and how intimidating she is as a person due to her skills as a witch and her academic excellence.

Whoa, I know @Shalken isn't awake yet, but if there are two spots still left open we'd both love to join in if there's space :D Is it alright if we just make some changes to our old HP profiles? I've got mine here.

Like Vos said, I'm definitely interested as well! Hopefully I can work with my older character a bit to make her fit in.

Alright @Shalken and @Vosrik, you posted first so you get the two remaining spots.

@Caleb Richardson and @Talon maara, sorry mates, I'll put you down as interested and place you at the front of the list.

Basically, I want to keep the numbers of people in each main thread down. But, I plan on offering alternative threads for people since this RP is centred around characters and all. When the first of those come up, then you can go and join us is that okay?
