Hogwarts Gossip

[Amber Chou Wilson]

I've had the idea for this topic for a while, but wasn't sure if anyone but me would find it useful. But the idea won't leave my brain, so here it is

Basically, I've realized that its sometimes tricky to know what my characters can know about other people's characters, but it makes topics more interesting if they've heard about them before. I figure Hogwarts probably has a lot of gossip, and adding it to RP's adds a bit of realism. I always enjoy it when students or plots don't exist in a vacuum but that others know about them or big things that happen at Hogwarts.

So I figured it would be a good idea to make a topic where people can submit rumors/gossip about their own characters that is probably making the rounds at school. As a reference for others. Please only submit stuff about your own characters/plots. If you're unsure if something is sensitive information for other people's plots, please ask them first before posting here. As a general rule, I would recommend only mentioning your own character by name unless you have permission from other people.

I intend this topic to be about actual happenings at Hogwarts. If your character makes something up about someone else in an RP that's gossip too, but I would like this to be a reference for real things that happened and people may know about. If you're mentioning anything that is untrue, please only do so about your own characters, and mention that it's fake.

You don't have to provide a link if you don't have one, like for example if something happened off screen or during a Hogwarts break.

Of course you don't need to gossip only about things posted here. I just wanted to make a place where people could spread IC information they want spread around the school, and where others can find inspiration for things their gossipy characters may talk about. I hope it's useful!

Notes: Baron is the new kid in the school. He is crushing on @Jenna Toubia since the day they met during the holidays. However, he has an identical twin who is crushing on Alexis Kramer. @Kace Corelli met Alexis over the holidays and has a small crush on her. Students were baffled since they never saw the twins at the same time at the same place.

The ICs' RPer madz is already informed about this.

[Sapphire Michaels]

Oooooh I love this, lol. My turn, my turn!

Character's name: Sapphire Michaels
Gossip: Sapphire's bag is secretly made of candy, because she never puts it down and she always has sweets. This could or could not be true, no one knows.

Relevant threads: all of them
Notes: Kira usually has dark circles under her eyes if you care to look, and is almost always found in the library if not eating or in class. Has anyone ever seen her go to bed in the girls' dorm? Who knows. How does a girl like that end up dating a Maxwell without some... magical assistance? (I asked Alex for Caelan's name use). These are both totally fake, of course, but hey.

Notes: They will have made up again around Halloween, but that doesn't mean the rumor that shes mad can't stick around

 

[Willow Cullen]

Character's name: Willow Cullen
Gossip: willows mum is a werewolf
Relevant threads: nothing specific. But briar is hardly secretive about her condition and is just enough in the public eye to be known and it doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together

[Taylor Blare-Edogawa]

Character's name: Zennon Baros
Gossip: Zennon can talk to snakes
Relevant threads: There's quite a few dropped around where he could easily be seen to be talking to snakes
Notes: He's really self concious about this particular ability and he used to be super careful, but he's been getting a bit careless lately, so feel free to use this as you see fit. Bonus points for anyone who asks him outright, he's a terrible liar when faced with confrontation
