The Honor Spren Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 You could write something on the side anyway. Talking to a house elf, or listening in on a conversation between teachers. Or you know, make another character for yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you know, make another character for yourself. That's setting a bad precedent, has anyone ever told you about my file for Epic characters in the Reckoners RP? Still I might do a student too. Could be interesting. We might have to think about things like timetables soon, any ideas what we'll do for things like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Alright, I made a post. Like I said at the bottom of it (can I do that?), anyone who wants their character to hang out, just sit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voidus Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to see Voidus' Minor Portrait Empire. Oh dear. Now instead of thinking up Epic powers I have to think up passwords and shortcuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oh dear. Now instead of thinking up Epic powers I have to think up passwords and shortcuts. So long as at least one of them makes a habit of passing through the Headmistress' office just so they can shout "Hey, dummy!" at Dumbledore's portrait, I'm happy. Because screw that guy.

Well they were still in school when Colin Creevey was there so I'd say pretty plausible. Excuse me for a moment I need to make a profile for... a muffin. Or something.

Voidus Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 So, Voidus, on the stairs that shout out study advice—is it good study advice? Well it's mine so... no, not really I am working on a list though and it's giving out the best advice it can, unfortunately sentient stairs have limited experience in studying.I'm working on a student character now though since roleplaying with just myself would be a bit boring Jarrad ThomasStatus: Half-bloodHouse: Unknown yetAppearance: Tall, dark-skinned and as his mother puts it 'cuddly', he has short brown hair, a rounded face and one hazel eye while his other is a dark red, his right eye was lost when his very first spell (A summoning charm) pulled a lego brick right into his face, it has been replaced with a magical eye though his parents refused his request for one with x-ray vision like Moodys. Other: Interested in both technology and magic he is especially interested in the field of spellcrafting, with a focus on charms. He has yet to invent a working spell since his parents forbade him from experimenting but hopes to find help at Hogwarts for this interest.
