[mt&#93;Appearance and Physical Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Eye colour: Ivory<br />
Hair Colour: Chocolate brown<br />
Height: 5'11"<br />
<br />
Slender and athletic Lillin has tanned skin with no imperfections, not even a birthmark. Her hair is thick, long and wavey and she takes pride in her appearance at all times. Her features are round and smooth and she is usually seen wearing dark coloured clothes with her hair tied back with a red ribbon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Mental Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Lillin has a talented mind and she uses it to her advantage in every situation she finds herself in. However, she neglects to think through situations clearly sometimes, rushing into things, especially when she involves her own emotions. When she does think though, she is able to think her way out of any situation using her quick mind and intelligence. <br />
This ability has meant though that she is manipulative of others, sly and sometimes disliked as she does not think of others before herself.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Lillin is not easily trusting of others but demands the trust and respect of those around her. At the same time she tries to maintain a good relationship with everyone although her nature and personality mean that she finds this difficult. She has few true friends but she treats everyone equally, making sure that no one feels left out or upset. <br />
Lillin may look innocent and act nice but she is as hard on the inside as she is on the outside. She participates in many physical activities to keep her in tip top shape and keep her strong and she makes sure that whoever gets close she can absolutely trust with everything. Those who do get close have to be careful though, she is the most likely character to stab her friends in the back if they do anything wrong. <br />
She easily reads other people and can tell what they're feeling almost instantly, this serves to her advantage as she loves to use people and manipulate them to do what she wants using her looks, wit and cunning.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Lillin had a rough, hard upbringing with a vampire as a mother and an alcoholic father. She would often be taunted and teased by them, bullied into doing something like jumping off a roof (which her mother made her do frequently). Although her mother bit her when she was a child trying to turn her into a vampire she continued to grow and develop, and shows no tell-tale signs of being a vampire, though she does dislike strong sunlight and loves the dark, she does not live off the blood of others. <br />
Her mother and father both disliked her although they did let her practice magic, teaching her the few spells that were passed down through the generations, making sure that she at least was a full wizard if not a full vampire. However, the temporary moments of kindness did not last long, and if she did anything wrong they would hit her, often using offensive spells against her breaking her bones and making sure that she was bleeding before they gave up and went off to have a drink.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[It is extremely important for you to have an input in the way that this forum is going to run. However, there are certain things that need to be a certain way for it to be able to run in the first place.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use of Old Characters</span></span><br />
Initially, old characters are not to be used. In the early part of the planning phase I commented that time would have moved on by around 85 years. This has been increased and 'current time' will be categorised as 2150. DCF v2 was set in the current date, so that is a large amount of time that has gone by. For this reason I am discouraging the <span style="font-weight: bold;">direct</span> use of old characters. You may indirectly use them (as in, your new character can be a descendent of your previous character) but there must be an appropriate connection. Father is out of the question, and grand father is pushing it really...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Super Abilities</span></span><br />
To discourage power playing and remove any chance of there being God-like characters there are to be no 'new' powers created for now. This means generally a lot of things are controlled by nature and are therefore random.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">There will be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">absolutely zero</span> fun if everyone is playing a super-character.</span> I simply won't allow it to happen.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rounded Characters</span></span><br />
With the introduction of character sheets - abilities and traits - you should have a greater idea of what your character will flourish in or at.<br />
Knowing what they're good at is the hard part! You also then know what your character isn't so great at, and it is important that these weaknesses and quirks are played out. If your character has absolutely no flaws then you will be no fun to RP with (that is, if your character was accepted in the first place).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Character Limit</span></span><br />
Initially the character limit for all those registered here will NOT apply. This means that you may therefore have your main character and three additional characters right from the start.<br />
The four character limit will apply until we have reached a stable number of members. As soon as that point is reached then I plan on making Muggle characters exempt from this rule, or having a separate limit for Muggles. <br />
Characters who are played in the future or past will also not apply (see the question below for information).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: large;">Past and Future</span></span><br />
Initially, this ability will NOT be available. However, once we have got into the swing of things there will be the ability to role play events occurring in the future and that occurred in the past. This will give you the opportunity to play out old characters (which if they are still on DCF v1 or v2 will be available to you) as well as future characters for whatever reason that may be.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></span><br />
I really do not want to have to be strict about the rules, and I won't do unless I am pushed into doing so. I have issues with characters who have God-like characters and they are to be corrected before used. They are no fun for anyone.<br />
<br />
If you have any further questions please add them to this thread and I will get back to you.<br />

</li></ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Appearance and Physical Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Mosden is a tall, muscled man standing at around 6'3" and weighing a little over 300.  He has shoulder length black hair that is mostly straight with just the slightest wave to it.  His eyes, like almost all males in the Vincent line, are an icy almost-white blue.  His skin is fairly normal, not too pale and not very tan.  He keeps his appearance like this for the most part, however since he is a metamorphagus he sometimes grows tired of his appearance and takes on the appearance of people he has seen.  His most frequent is that of a 15 year old boy with spiky brown hair.  He shares the same physique, though more slender and wiry in it's appearance.  The boy also has dull green eyes usually half-lidded.  His clothes of choice are usually a t-shirt, jeans, combat boots and some sort of jacket, though sometimes he wears more wizard-like clothing.  He feels a strong distain to formal dress, though, and has no formal clothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Mental Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Mosden's mind is in constant overdrive about everything around him.  He is always looking for new opportunities or goals.  He finds it easy to memorize information and recall it, although if he doesn't like the topic he'll forget it nearly immediately after learning it.  He adores mental challenges, finding games like chess or sudoku to be extremely entertaining.  Due to his upbringing, he often jumps to bad scenarios or conclusions to future events, which makes him nervous and sometimes stumble with his line of thought or cause him to be unprepared for the good or different from his original thought.  He also feels that everything shouldn't be generalized, instead people should switch between closely examining the small things and stepping back to see the big picture so they can see it from all angles.  People who are short sighted or feel the need to generalize anger him to the point that he might yell at them for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Mosden is an extreme introvert when it comes to people due to his upbringing.  He has no problem dealing with things by himself or keeping himself company.  He also never seems to be lonely even though he has no friends.  Because of his lack of social skills, he just stopped trying to make friends, instead deciding to immerse himself in books, excersizes and thrills.  He also loves to explore all of his surroundings, dedicating hours of his free time to just wandering the area and taking in the sights.  He is a very determined individual and doesn't care to hear other people out as much as the average person, instead sometimes even disregarding what they decide and doing something himself.  He is usually at least content or happy with his daily life and strives to find new things to excite him and further his goals.  While as mentioned he isn't that nice to other people, he usually isn't outright hostile to other people, instead opting to stay quiet or polite until they leave.However, if he were to find a friend, he would be very loyal and nice, trying his hardest to keep them happy and attempt to keep them out of harm's way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Additional Information[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Likes/Turn ons: </span><br />
Any sort of challenge, a really good thrill that gets his adrenaline pumping, learning about something ancient and mystical, people who can stand him, and exploring new places.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dislikes/Turn offs: </span><br />
People who can't be independent, large social gatherings, opinionated bigots, rules that restrict freedom, and people who feel magic can be generalized into good and evil.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Mosden was born in a small town located in America to Maria and Taylor Vincent.  They loved and cherished their child, teaching him right from wrong, caring for him to the best caliber, and educating them their self.  At the age of six, there was a terrible accident and both perished.  Mosden was sent to his only living relative, the old and bitter William Vincent.  He raised the child with more discipline and stricter education, focusing more on Dark Arts and the defenses against them.  He also read much about wizard history, and started to become biased against wizards, seeing most of them as terrible or at least snobbish.  He developed a fondness of muggles and their ability to do things without magic.  He actually likes muggles enough that he will talk to them more often and more than likely try to befriend a muggle rather than a wizard.  He rarely left the house because of William frowning on human interaction and ended up becoming secluded, instead immersing himself in fitness and his education.  When he turned 16, William told him he had taught him all he was allowed and that if he wished to continue his education, he would have to go elsewhere.  Just as he was about to be enrolled into Durmstrang, William heard that Hogwarts was to be opened once more.  Feeling that Mosden would end up learning more not from the actual school, but instead the terrible events that surrounded it, he instead convinced Mosden to enroll there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Additional Information </span><br />
Mosden is a Metamorphmagus and usually keeps his true form, but has been known to take the shape of various other people he has seen since his childhood.  He is a big fan of transfiguration, DADA, and Dark arts, is disinterested in Charms, and is downright terrible with all potions to the point that he actually tries to avoid making them.  He also maintains and owns William Vincent's old motorbike.  He also has a switchblade that is enchanted to lengthen itself and not rust.  His wand is a 12 1/4 inch oak/elm blend and a nundu claw core.<br />
<br />
Mosden Vincent is also a Animagus and his form is a Grizzly Bear.]]></description>

[mt]Appearance and Physical Characteristics[/mt]<br />
<br />
Mosden is a tall, muscled man standing at around 6'3" and weighing a little over 300.  He has shoulder length black hair that is mostly straight with just the slightest wave to it.  His eyes, like almost all males in the Vincent line, are an icy almost-white blue.  His skin is fairly normal, not too pale and not very tan.  He keeps his appearance like this for the most part, however since he is a metamorphagus he sometimes grows tired of his appearance and takes on the appearance of people he has seen.  His most frequent is that of a 15 year old boy with spiky brown hair.  He shares the same physique, though more slender and wiry in it's appearance.  The boy also has dull green eyes usually half-lidded.  His clothes of choice are usually a t-shirt, jeans, combat boots and some sort of jacket, though sometimes he wears more wizard-like clothing.  He feels a strong distain to formal dress, though, and has no formal clothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt]Mental Characteristics[/mt]<br />
<br />
Mosden's mind is in constant overdrive about everything around him.  He is always looking for new opportunities or goals.  He finds it easy to memorize information and recall it, although if he doesn't like the topic he'll forget it nearly immediately after learning it.  He adores mental challenges, finding games like chess or sudoku to be extremely entertaining.  Due to his upbringing, he often jumps to bad scenarios or conclusions to future events, which makes him nervous and sometimes stumble with his line of thought or cause him to be unprepared for the good or different from his original thought.  He also feels that everything shouldn't be generalized, instead people should switch between closely examining the small things and stepping back to see the big picture so they can see it from all angles.  People who are short sighted or feel the need to generalize anger him to the point that he might yell at them for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt]Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt]<br />
<br />
Mosden is an extreme introvert when it comes to people due to his upbringing.  He has no problem dealing with things by himself or keeping himself company.  He also never seems to be lonely even though he has no friends.  Because of his lack of social skills, he just stopped trying to make friends, instead deciding to immerse himself in books, excersizes and thrills.  He also loves to explore all of his surroundings, dedicating hours of his free time to just wandering the area and taking in the sights.  He is a very determined individual and doesn't care to hear other people out as much as the average person, instead sometimes even disregarding what they decide and doing something himself.  He is usually at least content or happy with his daily life and strives to find new things to excite him and further his goals.  While as mentioned he isn't that nice to other people, he usually isn't outright hostile to other people, instead opting to stay quiet or polite until they leave.However, if he were to find a friend, he would be very loyal and nice, trying his hardest to keep them happy and attempt to keep them out of harm's way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt]Additional Information[/mt]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Likes/Turn ons: </span><br />
Any sort of challenge, a really good thrill that gets his adrenaline pumping, learning about something ancient and mystical, people who can stand him, and exploring new places.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dislikes/Turn offs: </span><br />
People who can't be independent, large social gatherings, opinionated bigots, rules that restrict freedom, and people who feel magic can be generalized into good and evil.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Mosden was born in a small town located in America to Maria and Taylor Vincent.  They loved and cherished their child, teaching him right from wrong, caring for him to the best caliber, and educating them their self.  At the age of six, there was a terrible accident and both perished.  Mosden was sent to his only living relative, the old and bitter William Vincent.  He raised the child with more discipline and stricter education, focusing more on Dark Arts and the defenses against them.  He also read much about wizard history, and started to become biased against wizards, seeing most of them as terrible or at least snobbish.  He developed a fondness of muggles and their ability to do things without magic.  He actually likes muggles enough that he will talk to them more often and more than likely try to befriend a muggle rather than a wizard.  He rarely left the house because of William frowning on human interaction and ended up becoming secluded, instead immersing himself in fitness and his education.  When he turned 16, William told him he had taught him all he was allowed and that if he wished to continue his education, he would have to go elsewhere.  Just as he was about to be enrolled into Durmstrang, William heard that Hogwarts was to be opened once more.  Feeling that Mosden would end up learning more not from the actual school, but instead the terrible events that surrounded it, he instead convinced Mosden to enroll there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Additional Information </span><br />
Mosden is a Metamorphmagus and usually keeps his true form, but has been known to take the shape of various other people he has seen since his childhood.  He is a big fan of transfiguration, DADA, and Dark arts, is disinterested in Charms, and is downright terrible with all potions to the point that he actually tries to avoid making them.  He also maintains and owns William Vincent's old motorbike.  He also has a switchblade that is enchanted to lengthen itself and not rust.  His wand is a 12 1/4 inch oak/elm blend and a nundu claw core.<br />
<br />
Mosden Vincent is also a Animagus and his form is a Grizzly Bear.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Shoulder length brown hair and Deep hazel eyes. Her skin has a peachy, soft complexion with the odd freckle when she’s been out in the sun. She tends to wear scruffy, grungy clothes like vest tops, ripped jeans and hoodies. Her favourite thing to wear is an acid wash denim jacket with a butterfly bleached into the back. Often has an impish expression or one that looks like she’s about to fall asleep though she is more alert than she’d like you to believe when she looks like this. Her footwear choice is commonly very worn trainers or boots that were her sixteenth birthday present. Small and slim build, not especially strong, though she’s pretty good at kicking people, she's also wiry and graceful in certain aspects making her seem like a dancer. <br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Mental Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Izzy isn’t a stupid person but she lacks the patience to solve problems and doesn’t put much effort into anything technical other than the mechanics of a car or strategy for racing. She sucks at maths and sciences mostly and scraped through her exams. English did a little better. Her strengths lie in strategy, mechanics and instinct.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
A perceptive person. She’ll understand what someone is going through usually but that doesn’t mean she’ll help you if something’s going wrong in your life, she’ll probably ignore you for a few minutes unless you start crying or something. A quiet person often seen as stupid and a daydreamer so they’re surprised when she’s noticed something they haven’t. Izzy prefers animals to people, which is good considering animals tend to get close to her in any situation. She can be sarcastic most of the time, untalkative and uncaring but when she feels up for it she’ll be much more friendly and co-operative. Izzy often needs encouragement or nagging to get anything done. Tends to curse a lot for no reason but when she's really angry she'll shut up and get away from whatever is causing her temper. If she's told not to do something this just encourages her to do it even more. Is a fighter as heart despite her size and physical strength. She'll defend something to the hilt. Her delicacy in looks mostly contradicts her personality. Instead of dainty flower she's a wildcat<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Childhood:<br />
Izzy’s family weren’t the richest in the neighbourhood. In fact they lived in the worst part of town. Her dad owed money to a lot of people but they were happy and got through it up until Izzy’s mother died when she was seven of an illness, her mother didn’t tell her family because she didn’t want them to worry. Izzy got over it mainly because she had to focus on things like getting a decent meal and making sure her dad paid the bills to the people they owed. Her family’s structure crumbled shortly after the death, her father who had already been absent minded grew more so and got caught up in his work sometimes forgetting to take care of his daughter who grew more independent and quiet.<br />
<br />
Teenage years:<br />
As soon as Izzy could get a job she worked as hard as she could, hoping to erase their family debts. They ended up going to a friend of the family for help. Izzy met Felix and Lucas O’Connor two boys who acted like brothers despite being cousins. They adopted Izzy in a way and treated her like a little sister, though some would say she was taking the place of Lucas’ deceased sister. Later on after Izzy’s father was killed by the ones they needed to give money back to it came about that Victor was the illegitimate child of Lucius, Lucas and Felix’s grandfather, making Izzy part O’Connor and thus part magic. The O’Connor family were a pureblood family but one of the more friendly ones despite their manipulative business. They remain neutral and deal with both sides of things. Victor Fletcher was born when Lucius and his since deceased wife Ophelia were on a break so Lucius got drunk and slept with Michelle Fletcher who was the wife of one of his friends. They kept it covered up to save everyone heartbreak.<br />
<br />
Now:<br />
Despite being part magic Izzy is only aware of who her family are not what. Lucas and Felix were bound by word never to tell her while Lucius was still alive at least. So Izzy runs a garage fixing cars and for extra money she drag races despite many people’s protests. She remains untold of what she is but is slowly starting to notice the odd things going on around her.]]></description>

<br />
Jack is relatively tall for his age. His spiky hair is a deep, rich brown and his eyes are a light green. He is well built with large, rippling muscles. He can usually be seen wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a basketball cap and, if the weather allows (rarely!) sunglasses.<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Mental Characteristics[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
While not stupid, Jack is not especially clever – his strengths lie in other areas. He is, however, excellent at transfiguration; it is his favourite subject and it shows. He can easily transfigure himself into almost any creature you ask including the most difficult of all: mammals. He is also adept at duelling, and practices it regularly. His weakest subjects are Potions and especially Herbology – he fails to see the point in it. Jack is a very practical character and sometimes fails to see the bigger picture. He is very stable and always looks on the bright side of life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt&#93;Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt&#93;<br />
<br />
Jack is a very social person and gets on with the vast majority of people. He is a generous and trustworthy person and generally sees the good in people. He is also a very romantic person and is always up for a bit of flirting. He enjoys swimming and goes into the Lake on a regular basis.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Born in the heart of London, Jack is a city boy through and through. As a full member of the wizarding community, he has been aware of magic since birth. From the age of three he began to show that he was following in the footsteps of his father by becoming superb at transfiguration – he had inanimate objects sussed by six.<br />
<br />
He belongs to a stable, loving family which traces its magical roots back hundreds of years. He went to a Muggle primary school while receiving magical training at the Magical Weekend Training Centre and so has built up two large networks of friends. Due to his close interactions with many Muggles he has come to learn and appreciate much about them.]]></description>

<br />
Jack is relatively tall for his age. His spiky hair is a deep, rich brown and his eyes are a light green. He is well built with large, rippling muscles. He can usually be seen wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a basketball cap and, if the weather allows (rarely!) sunglasses.<br />
<br />
[mt]Mental Characteristics[/mt]<br />
<br />
While not stupid, Jack is not especially clever – his strengths lie in other areas. He is, however, excellent at transfiguration; it is his favourite subject and it shows. He can easily transfigure himself into almost any creature you ask including the most difficult of all: mammals. He is also adept at duelling, and practices it regularly. His weakest subjects are Potions and especially Herbology – he fails to see the point in it. Jack is a very practical character and sometimes fails to see the bigger picture. He is very stable and always looks on the bright side of life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[mt]Social Characteristics and Personality[/mt]<br />
<br />
Jack is a very social person and gets on with the vast majority of people. He is a generous and trustworthy person and generally sees the good in people. He is also a very romantic person and is always up for a bit of flirting. He enjoys swimming and goes into the Lake on a regular basis.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
Born in the heart of London, Jack is a city boy through and through. As a full member of the wizarding community, he has been aware of magic since birth. From the age of three he began to show that he was following in the footsteps of his father by becoming superb at transfiguration – he had inanimate objects sussed by six.<br />
<br />
He belongs to a stable, loving family which traces its magical roots back hundreds of years. He went to a Muggle primary school while receiving magical training at the Magical Weekend Training Centre and so has built up two large networks of friends. Due to his close interactions with many Muggles he has come to learn and appreciate much about them.]]></content:encoded>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
After being tutored at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry until the school was attacked, Cameron had a rudimentary knowledge of the magic arts. During the assault on the castle, he was kidnapped by the attacking force and held prisoner. Using his unique elemental powers, he escaped, and tried to make it back to Hogwarts, only to find it gone. Embarking on a journey to build his Elemental powers, he travelled from the icy plains of Antarctica to the glare of the Sahara Desert, to further gain control of the elements. After stopping a potential Dark wizard from destroying a muggle coffee shop, and being rewarded for it, Cameron started a bounty hunting and private investigating service. Using his abnormalities to his own gain, he quickly became a respected and feared hunter.<br />
<br />
However, when tracking a criminal hiding in the mountain peaks of Hogsmeade, a freak accident with his ice powers flash froze him and the criminal in the icy peak of the mountain. While the criminal quickly died, Cameron's elemental powers preserved him for ninety years, until Hogwarts was reopened, and the leader of the Order of the Phoenix was re-awakened, sending an energy burst to the last surviving member, which caused an explosion of fire in the frozen ice wall. Thawed out, Cameron awoke to find himself in the distant future.<br />

Message to Dan - I know you wanted new characters, but I've had this idea for an older Ty for a while now, and I think it could really be a fun and interesting concept, especially the whole "Elemental" thing, which could be a really cool new power, like Metamorphisism. If it's a big problem, tell me about it, otherwise, I'd really like to use this character.]]></description>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">(Way back)</span><br />
Long into the past in Ben's history there was a man named Daniel Chorley. He was a previous headmaster of Hogwarts, one of the greatest schools of witchcraft and wizardary in the wizarding world. It was unclear where he was on the day Hogwarts fell, but it is assumed that he was not on the site. He was never seen since and his wife and daughter had to leave their home and live somewhere in the muggle countryside to escape the wizarding press and Ministry officials trying to track him down. As time went by and as Hogwarts was never rediscovered nor a replacement created the previous generations of Ben's family were kept 'in the dark' of their special powers as Wizards and Witches. Unaware of their powers both his mother and father come from Wizarding families, but neither of them know of their powers.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">(Upbringing and Education)</span><br />
Ben had a very loving mother and father who gave him a very good upbringing. He wasn't spoilt, but his parents cared very much about him and were paying close attention to his education and social lives all the way through his childhood. In his secondary education he had a close knit group of friends who he continued to communicate with when he went into university. But Bristol university was where he made most of his friends and continues to contact them on a regular basis.<br />
Throughout university he excelled in the business degree he was taking and his leadership skills were highlighted as a particular strength of his. He was always very good around people and was a good motivator. He would never back down unless he knew he was in the wrong and he would never give up or stop. Ben had this drive about him that people would comment on. No matter how difficult, time consuming or painful the task that he was assigned to do was, he would still persevere through the hardest of times. Not was he only good with people but he was very observant. He was able to read through people like a book at times and this usually kept him away from the wrong people and kept him with the right people.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">History/Upbringing: </span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">(Way back)</span><br />
Long into the past in Ben's history there was a man named Daniel Chorley. He was a previous headmaster of Hogwarts, one of the greatest schools of witchcraft and wizardary in the wizarding world. It was unclear where he was on the day Hogwarts fell, but it is assumed that he was not on the site. He was never seen since and his wife and daughter had to leave their home and live somewhere in the muggle countryside to escape the wizarding press and Ministry officials trying to track him down. As time went by and as Hogwarts was never rediscovered nor a replacement created the previous generations of Ben's family were kept 'in the dark' of their special powers as Wizards and Witches. Unaware of their powers both his mother and father come from Wizarding families, but neither of them know of their powers.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">(Upbringing and Education)</span><br />
Ben had a very loving mother and father who gave him a very good upbringing. He wasn't spoilt, but his parents cared very much about him and were paying close attention to his education and social lives all the way through his childhood. In his secondary education he had a close knit group of friends who he continued to communicate with when he went into university. But Bristol university was where he made most of his friends and continues to contact them on a regular basis.<br />
Throughout university he excelled in the business degree he was taking and his leadership skills were highlighted as a particular strength of his. He was always very good around people and was a good motivator. He would never back down unless he knew he was in the wrong and he would never give up or stop. Ben had this drive about him that people would comment on. No matter how difficult, time consuming or painful the task that he was assigned to do was, he would still persevere through the hardest of times. Not was he only good with people but he was very observant. He was able to read through people like a book at times and this usually kept him away from the wrong people and kept him with the right people.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Main Opening Plot:</span><br />
<br />
Summary: <ul>
<li>Hogwarts was sealed by a spell that Toolbox had cast. (part one, complete)</li>
<li>The cast is lifted as a descendent of a previous headmaster accidentally stumbles upon it waaaay into the future. (part 2, complete)</li>
<li>Toolbox and character apparate to Ministry (changed on 1st June)</li>
<li>Ministry debate on what to do, decide that the school is to reopen.</li>
<li>Since Hogwarts has been closed many wizards are unaware of their magical powers (they have not received their 'letter' yet)</li>
<li>Ministry was worrying that there would be few wizards left - numbers have declined significantly.</li>
<li>They decide to reopen Hogwarts with almost immediate effect after it has been repaired.</li>
<li>The first topic will be the 'opening ceremony' held in the Hogwarts castle. All other role play can commence once that topic has been posted.<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
The full plot will be written shortly, but just a few pointers before we continue:<br />
<ul>
<li>Old characters will not have survived. I have advanced the time on so that we are in the year 2150 to discourage old characters from being used again. I am trying to promote some new ideas and originality.</li>
<li>We will be trying to get some base characters up at first - these will include the Hogwarts staff as well as students and miscellaneous beings within the castle. These roles will take priority over any other roles until the role play expands.</li>
<li>The character profile application form will be posted on this board soon for you to prepare your characters.</li>
<li>At first there will be nothing sinister about the goings on in the castle so that we can return to normality as a role playing community. It is best for us to begin character development and get the characters interacting with each other - developing friendships and hatreds of each other's characters!</li>
<li>Although there will be nothing sinister at the first glance, we will have selected a character within the teaching staff at Hogwarts to play the 'bad guy/gal'. There were suggestions of an attractive young lady, and I think that's an excellent idea. We will discuss who will be playing this character soon, although if you are interested do say so!<br />
</li></ul>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok everyone, I think it's time we finalise the locations of role play.<br />
<br />
When I say finalise, I mean finalise for the opening/start of UTS. If, after opening/a bit of role playing, we find we need more/less locations, then we can add/remove them as we require.<br />
<br />
But we need something to start with.<br />
<br />
So, these are the ideas so far:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hogwarts Castle</span><br />
<br />
Entrance Hall<br />
Great Hall<br />
Class Rooms<br />
Common Rooms<br />
Library<br />
Hospital Wing<br />
Towers<br />
Inside Hogwarts<br />
Toilets<br />
Room of Requirement<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hogwarts Grounds</span><br />
<br />
Greenhouses/Gardens<br />
The Great Lake<br />
Quidditch Pitch<br />
Hogwarts Grounds<br />
Forbidden Forest<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wizarding World</span><br />
<br />
Ministry for Magic (including the Department of Mysteries, etc)<br />
Hogsmeade (including the Three Broomsticks, etc)<br />
Diagon Alley (including Ollivanders, the Leaky Caldraun (sp?) etc)<br />
Knockturn Alley (including Borgin and Burkes, etc)<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Others - SUGGESTIONS PLEASE</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Muggle World</span><br />
<br />
London (including Kings Cross, etc)<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Others - SUGGESTIONS PLEASE</span><br />
<br />
This topic will close on the 31st January 2010 - that's 4 whole days away plus what's left of today, to make your comments/suggestions on the above list.<br />
<br />
After this date, locations will be made final for the start.<br />
<br />
I am very concious of the fact that this is taking longer than it normally does for me and Dan to create, so I'm setting some deadlines.<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>They came with no warning. No one had time to prepare. It was the day that the most famous school of Witchcraft and Wizardry had fallen. Large parts of the castle and its grounds had been destroyed in the largest attack the wizarding world had seen. Bodies lay everywhere like bullets on the ground. Screams from students and staff alike echoed off the walls of the place where they were supposed to be safe.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">But no one was there to save them.</span><br />
<br />
One man stood on the roof of the Gryffindor Common Room. He looked down from the roof. His face was pale, as if he was going to be physically sick. He shut his eyes for a few moments and whispered a brief chant.<br />
<br />
It was as if time had frozen for a brief moment. The screaming stopped, the alarm bells were silenced, and all that could be heard were the songs of two Phoenixes which were perched on the wall next to the man. He took hold of both of the Phoenixes and turned around, crouching down behind the tower wall.<br />
<br />
Just as he crouched, the silence was interrupted by a burst of light. Moments later, there was a monumental roar. Everything was thrown into the air. Students, death eaters, and all sorts of magical creatures which inhabited the school and grounds were thrown hundreds of feet into the air.<br />
The man and the two Phoenixes were left untouched. He stood up and turned around, the two animals still perched in his hand. He looked yet more pale now, as if he had just received a dementor's kiss.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He was responsible for the deaths of all of these people.</span><br />
<br />
The bodies dropped like flares from the sky, landing all around the grounds of the school. As the final body hit the ground, the man fell onto his knees. It was happening, just like he'd been told.<br />
He began to feel tired. His eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier, and as his eyes closed the man’s body fell to the ground. The two phoenixes fluttered to the floor along side him. The spell had exhausted his body, but his mind was most definitely active.<br />
<br />
The man was the deputy headmaster of the school. He was one of the most powerful wizards of his time, and had an overwhelming strength that only few wizards possessed. He had sacrificed this strength to ensure that Hogwarts was protected. But with this protection was a cost. He had killed thousands of wizards, witches and magical creatures which had lived at Hogwarts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">This was one of the many dark secrets left untold.</span><br />
<br />
Many wizards had dared to find the castle, but their efforts came to nothing. The spell that had been cast could only be broken by one person and one person alone. Wizards wrote books and articles claiming they knew what had happened to the castle, but they were all dismissed by the Ministry. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Eighty-five years passed.</span><br />
<br />
Through the misty intricacy of the Forbidden Forest, an explorer was making his way through a path that had been covered by leaves when his foot came into contact with a battered old book lying on the ground. He looked down, frowning at the book. Taking a knee, he put one hand on the book to scrape the dirt off the cover.<br />
As his hand made contact with the book, it began to hover in the air. The man took his hand off the book and stood up, and as he did so the book began to move forwards.<br />
He followed.<br />
<br />
The book guided him through the leaf covered path, until it stopped at an opening in the tall trees. He took one step out of the opening, and gasped for air. It was as if he was being suffocated.<br />
He fell to the ground, but began to breathe. He was conscious, but not awake. It was as if he was in some sort of dream world. <br />
<br />
Inside the Gryffindor common room, a man still lay on the floor, a phoenix on either side of his body. The room was still lined with Gryffindor’s colours, along with several pictures, posters and notices. It was if the school year was in full swing. The Gryffindor crest still sat, skewed slightly from the previous fight with the death eaters.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The man on the floor began to breathe.</span><br />
<br />
Precisely three minutes and fifty three seconds later, both of the men opened their eyes. <br />
<br />
The explorer found his head surrounded by leaves, the book that had guided him to the opening on top of his right hand. He glanced upwards; his eyes scanned the ruined castle. Although he had never been to this place before, and he had only ever heard rumours of its beauty he was entranced.<br />
<br />
The man inside the castle glanced around the room in which he lay. He stood up and began to stretch. He stood for a moment, looking around the room and straightening out the robes he was wearing. Two piles of ash lay either side of him.<br />
He strolled towards the Gryffindor crest, taking out his wand and uttering, “Reparo”. The crest straightened itself out, and began to shine in the sunlight.<br />
There were two short bursts of flames, but the man did not turn to see what was going on.<br />
The two phoenixes flew onto the man’s shoulders and began to sing to each other, just like they had all those years ago.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hogwarts had been awoken.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The summer evening's sky was an array of deep oranges and reds. It was a peaceful evening in London city centre. The hustle that would ensue in just 10 or 11 hours would take all of that away.<br />
A man stood on his apartment balcony, his head up in the air as he starred into the sky. He took in a deep breath of the polluted city air, exhaling slowly as he looked down at the expensive watch on his wrist.<br />
It wasn't like his owl to be late. If it had been any other person this would have been insignificant, but for him it was far from that. His eyes scanned the horizon for any sign of his owl.<br />
<br />
It was several minutes before his eyes caught a glimpse of something, far in the distance. He recognised it almost immediately, but something was different. It usually carried a fairly heavy load of letters.<br />
Today it carried just a single note, wrote on a scruffy bit of parchment.<br />
<br />
The owl landed on the balcony and began to peck at its master. The man petted the bird with one hand as he tried to untie the parchment with the other. He glanced at the front of the letter. Printed onto it on block capitals were the words "For the Minister". The man frowned as he opened the folded piece of parchment and began to read the enclosed message.<br />
<br />
His expression changed from a frown to that of awe. He tapped the owl on its head gently, and it flew away. He turned around and walked indoors towards his fire place. A bowl lay on the coffee table filled with a dust like material. He furiously took a handful of the dust and threw it into the fire. "The Ministry of Magic", he said, defining each syllable as if he was almost spelling it out.<br />
<br />
There was a breeze of air and he was absorbed into the fire. The piece of parchment lay on the coffee table next to the bowl of dust. It was folded in such a way that only the bottom of the note could be seen.<br />
It read, "Signed, Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts. The School of Witchcraft and Wizardary."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He arrived at the Ministry.</span><br />
<br />
The quiet and tranquil surroundings of the Ministry were only hampered by a single man's footsteps. They were defined, sharps steps from a man who meant business. The steps became less frequent until there were no more that could be heard at all. The man uttered a few words under his breath generating a spark at the tip of his wand. The spark vanished almost instantly as if it had split into several different pieces and had been given a set destination to go to.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Indeed it had been given a set of destinations to go to.</span><br />
<br />
It took just a minute before the tranquillity of the hall was eliminated. Wizards and witches of all different shapes and sizes were appearing out of thin air talking to one another as they walked towards the man. They were all puzzled as to why he had brought them back here at such a time. There was one final 'poof' as the final official made his way towards the minister. As he walked closer to the crowd the others fell silent, and just one of the crowd spoke out.<br />
<br />
"What is it, minister?", they asked with a concerned tone to their voice.<br />
"The school", he replied. These two words created a stir within the crowd which was quickly dampened with the shrill cry of a small woman close to the front of the crowd.<br />
"When?!", she shouted, causing several of the crowd to squirm with intolerance at the high pitched scream.<br />
"I received a note just half an hour ago", the minister said, his eyes fixed on the crowd. He quickly continued, eager to keep the attention of all those present. "It's genuine, signed by the man himself. I propose that a group of us head out there now to see for ourselves, led by me".<br />
This created another stir, instantly creating a divide between the crowd. Several members of the ministry backed off, whilst others stood behind the minister. It would take some time before they believed what had happened.<br />
<br />
And so the group of ministers vanished into thin air leaving the remainder behind to discuss what they had been told. One thing was for sure: things were about to change.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>They came with no warning. No one had time to prepare. It was the day that the most famous school of Witchcraft and Wizardry had fallen. Large parts of the castle and its grounds had been destroyed in the largest attack the wizarding world had seen. Bodies lay everywhere like bullets on the ground. Screams from students and staff alike echoed off the walls of the place where they were supposed to be safe.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">But no one was there to save them.</span><br />
<br />
One man stood on the roof of the Gryffindor Common Room. He looked down from the roof. His face was pale, as if he was going to be physically sick. He shut his eyes for a few moments and whispered a brief chant.<br />
<br />
It was as if time had frozen for a brief moment. The screaming stopped, the alarm bells were silenced, and all that could be heard were the songs of two Phoenixes which were perched on the wall next to the man. He took hold of both of the Phoenixes and turned around, crouching down behind the tower wall.<br />
<br />
Just as he crouched, the silence was interrupted by a burst of light. Moments later, there was a monumental roar. Everything was thrown into the air. Students, death eaters, and all sorts of magical creatures which inhabited the school and grounds were thrown hundreds of feet into the air.<br />
The man and the two Phoenixes were left untouched. He stood up and turned around, the two animals still perched in his hand. He looked yet more pale now, as if he had just received a dementor's kiss.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He was responsible for the deaths of all of these people.</span><br />
<br />
The bodies dropped like flares from the sky, landing all around the grounds of the school. As the final body hit the ground, the man fell onto his knees. It was happening, just like he'd been told.<br />
He began to feel tired. His eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier, and as his eyes closed the man’s body fell to the ground. The two phoenixes fluttered to the floor along side him. The spell had exhausted his body, but his mind was most definitely active.<br />
<br />
The man was the deputy headmaster of the school. He was one of the most powerful wizards of his time, and had an overwhelming strength that only few wizards possessed. He had sacrificed this strength to ensure that Hogwarts was protected. But with this protection was a cost. He had killed thousands of wizards, witches and magical creatures which had lived at Hogwarts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">This was one of the many dark secrets left untold.</span><br />
<br />
Many wizards had dared to find the castle, but their efforts came to nothing. The spell that had been cast could only be broken by one person and one person alone. Wizards wrote books and articles claiming they knew what had happened to the castle, but they were all dismissed by the Ministry. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Eighty-five years passed.</span><br />
<br />
Through the misty intricacy of the Forbidden Forest, an explorer was making his way through a path that had been covered by leaves when his foot came into contact with a battered old book lying on the ground. He looked down, frowning at the book. Taking a knee, he put one hand on the book to scrape the dirt off the cover.<br />
As his hand made contact with the book, it began to hover in the air. The man took his hand off the book and stood up, and as he did so the book began to move forwards.<br />
He followed.<br />
<br />
The book guided him through the leaf covered path, until it stopped at an opening in the tall trees. He took one step out of the opening, and gasped for air. It was as if he was being suffocated.<br />
He fell to the ground, but began to breathe. He was conscious, but not awake. It was as if he was in some sort of dream world. <br />
<br />
Inside the Gryffindor common room, a man still lay on the floor, a phoenix on either side of his body. The room was still lined with Gryffindor’s colours, along with several pictures, posters and notices. It was if the school year was in full swing. The Gryffindor crest still sat, skewed slightly from the previous fight with the death eaters.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The man on the floor began to breathe.</span><br />
<br />
Precisely three minutes and fifty three seconds later, both of the men opened their eyes. <br />
<br />
The explorer found his head surrounded by leaves, the book that had guided him to the opening on top of his right hand. He glanced upwards; his eyes scanned the ruined castle. Although he had never been to this place before, and he had only ever heard rumours of its beauty he was entranced.<br />
<br />
The man inside the castle glanced around the room in which he lay. He stood up and began to stretch. He stood for a moment, looking around the room and straightening out the robes he was wearing. Two piles of ash lay either side of him.<br />
He strolled towards the Gryffindor crest, taking out his wand and uttering, “Reparo”. The crest straightened itself out, and began to shine in the sunlight.<br />
