Harry Potter Rp (Work in progress) Don't post!

[Mizo]

The Rp

This Rp is set after the events in the Harry potter books, including the end scene, of some of the main characters sending their children off to Hogwarts. This of course means it will be ripe with spoilers, you have been warned. More information about what has happened will be explained in the first post. The Rp is going to be more about story telling rather than trying to rank ourselves up, so there will be no official battle system. It's up to you guys whether you want rules in your fights, if you want there to be a way to lose. Of course some of the NPCs will come will greater risks, for example if you go head to head with the main villain, you risk death. There will be three GMs, me, Ninjasteve and Beef Paste. We will control the 'bad guys' and further the story that way, but feel free to create your own stories within that, but be aware that we may interrupt your plans, and therefore you will be required to truly role play your character and react to those events accordingly. We begin with two characters, one first year and one older. The older may be anywhere from second year to Dumbledore's age, to truly get a grasp of what has happened during the time after the books you should read the first post. That way you can place your older character in better context. You should use the character sheet below, copy the code and post it in the character trials thread. There your character will be checked for any problems. If it has any you will be notified, similarly if your character has been accepted it will be moved into the character roster for you by a GM. Enjoy the RP.

Abilities

Our abilities are graded using the O.W.L.S marking system which is as follows; Outstanding, Exceeds expectations, Acceptable, Poor, Dreadful and Troll. To begin with every skill starts on Acceptable. However, you may upgrade a skill, but you must also downgrade another. For example if I wish to upgrade my flying skill I would have to downgrade another, like Herbology. So I would now exceed expectations as a flyer, but be poor at herbology. You may move more than one step in the marking, but the corresponding downgrade must be same amount.
