I think, it would be easiest if you played somebody already established at Hogwarts? Maybe the same age as Erin (so sixth year). Whether you play a guy or a girl is totally up to you--I'm more comfortable playing female characters. But I can say there won't be any romantic undertones if you play a girl. Which is also fine by me--there is more to roleplay than falling in love!

Then again, roleplay isn't about taking the easiest route, either. Your first idea could still work, but like I said it will take a little bit of work.

If your character is about sixteen the year of the Tournament and arrives at Hogwarts that year with your missing letter idea... They could get placed in fourth year (since they're too old to be all the way back in first year, but they still need held back some so that they can do catching up).

Given Harry's friendly nature, especially if your character is sorted into Gryffindor, that should get your character tugged into being one of Harry's friends. If we take that as backstory and assume that has happened already, we can pick up with the arrival of the other two schools for the tournament. And once Erin makes her appearance, we just orchestrate things so that she gets tugged into the friendship as well?

Once she gets over being a little bit scared of Harry, anyway.

Alright, I'll already be at Hogwarts; it does seem like it would be more difficult to work in the "missing letter" idea. Oh well. =P

I would like to be a girl... But I could be a dude as well.... Have you noticed how many chicks are around Harry as opposed to dudes? Like you can really only count the Weasleys and Neville, right? Anyways, I'd like some romance to be in there simply because I'm a sap for stuff like that. XD

Or I could just be a first year? Harry's friendly and all, and Ron could think I'm an annoying little pest, and Hermione could be along Harry's mindset too.

Hmm, for your character to be a first year, all the way down at being eleven... I suppose I could drag Erin down to being the same age as Harry. But that's the youngest she really -can- be, given the timeline.

I'd prefer to play her at over sixteen before anyone develops any romantic ties...maybe it's the fact that I'm well over that age that even though I know kids start 'dating' that young...it's a bit creepy to me as a person to play it out. And since just a couple of years can really change the flavour of...everything... Maybe we should play them both at being in fourth year and then we can progress the story as the timeline marches forwards as well.

If we're playing doubles, then that means that we can play as many guys and girls as we like. :P But like I said, I'd prefer to play female characters. I'm more comfortable playing them.

Okay, then in that case I can have my character... being whatever year is necessary for Erin. I really don't mind. XD

I don't have as much of a problem, but yeah, I wouldn't let my daughter date until she was sixteen. If she wanted to date before then, I'd just have a talk with her about what dating is for and everything. =P But getting back to the topic...

I can play guys and girls comfortably... But like I said before, I'd prefer being a girl for my main character in this one.

I just get weirded out by the accusations of being a pedobear. >_> Ever since LJ's great Harry Potter sparked "FANDOM = PEDO" thing, I've put my foot down about playing underage characters, even just doing the normal childish age-appropriate first attempts at dating. And that's my own inherent nervousness speaking, not saying anybody else is wrong. ^^;

If we play them both as being in fourth year, that gives them the most chance to interact. :) Especially since the Beauxbatons students will be taking some classes with students their own ages, that means they'll even have some classes together.

I think that's enough for us to start the IC thread maybe? And if you think so too, would you like to start it or shall I?

Hmmm... Fourteen... I remember being fourteen. Anyways, yeah, that sounds good.

You may start the thread, since you seem to have a better grasp on how things are going to kick off and all. 8D Please link me when you're done, and I'll meanwhile work on a character profile!

Oh, wait. Are we both going to be girls or what?

Well, what with doubling in effect, we're both going to be whatever we feel like being. My main will be Erin of course, but you're more than welcome to be whomever you feel like. We've got a good and solid idea here, it should be fun no matter -what- you decide. So yeah, go with a girl if you want to. :)

I'll make us a post. :)

HOORAY! 8D I can't wait, this sounds like it's going to be fun!

Um, are we going to post actual character profiles, or just jump in and show character traits as we go?

Easier and more fun to develop the characters with time rather than trying to stick to a pre-posted schematic I think?

Sorry my replies here are getting short and blunt, I'm focusing on writing us a grand entrance at the moment. :P

No problem. ^__^ And yeah, gradual development works!

We have a thread, doll! I hope that works for you. Just wander up to her, she'll talk to anyone even if she -is- trying to pretend she doesn't care. :)

I don't quite mind ^^ What do you think would be best?

Also, do you want to make the thread for our role play, or should I?

I'll make the thread. 8D I'll link you here when it's up, okay?

Okay sounds good ^^ -waits patiently-

Yo, monet! We're ready to rock! 8D

Terror! Being a Zodiac Host! || Or, "If the Furuba Series had Included a Host Club" || Mai and monet

Annnnnd we're back! Looking for new RPs and more RPers to RP them with! ;D First post has been edited, so take a look.

Still looking. :3 I don't bite, I swear. O__O;;;

-gives thread a poke-
Mai's an amazing RPer - you should RP with her! <333

Awww, thank you Emma! 8D I heart RPing with you, as well.

Any takers? NOBODY?! There has to be SOMEBODY. D8

*Sad Mai is sad*

Hai hai!

Hehe -luffles-
What can I say? Your Jareth skills are amazing <3
And I like Sidone as well :D

Yeah people, RP with Mai~ You totally won't regret it!

I think I may be interested in a couple of the ideas you have posted. I am considering ideas for a psychic-type human, or an exorcist, and was wondering if you had any particular plot ideas there? Also wondering if you have a specific time period/setting in mind for the gunslinger and swordsperson?

Nope, no plot ideas set in stone, really. 8D I figured we could figure that out when someone showed interest, like yourself. Did you have any ideas?

Good morning starshine, the earth says HULLO! :D
So, I would love to role play with you, but I don't really have samples of much of anything good. >.> Usually, I will keep up with just about anything anyone will give me.
I can try and find a good one. xD

Anyway, sew plotz ai mait waont.
*makes a derp face*

Shapeshifter x human
Psychic x normal human
Royalty x bodyguard

So yes. Get back to me I suppose. xD

Hey there, Scotch, glad to meet you. 8D I'm up for the shapeshifter one if you are!
