Hi!
So I rarely do PDs and I've been meaning to change that for a while. Starting one during Sorting is probably a horrible idea but I'm pretty sure if I don't get it over with now I'll probably never get to it at all :p
Not since Aeon however many years ago, have much of my characters really had any friends. Or enemies. Or much of anything, probably because I don't do these. I'm looking to try and make more of an effort to change that, and have characters I use more than three times a year at best. So bear with me here because I am terrible at describing characters to people. :lol:
Okay lets start wiiiiith Alistair Lancaster because he's who I'm logged in as.
I don't know why I keep writing anti-social characters who are awful at making friends, or just tend to avoid people, but I do, and Alistair is one of them. I mean to be fair the only reason he is is because he's a werewolf and is terrified of anyone finding that out, otherwise I think he'd be much more outgoing.

So brief info for him. He's a Werewolf, Slytherin, and going into fourth year this IC year. His parents weren't too thrilled about the whole werewolf thing (They're the typical old fashioned pureblood supremacy types, shocker) and didn't want him around anymore because of it and the danger it poses so he lives with relatives in NZ, since they'd already raised a werewolf once before, but he doesn't really consider it, or anywhere else to be "home". He misses much of his old life, and the way things used to be before The Bite, but the whole experience has really opened his eyes to the kind of people his family are.

Uh as a person I guess he's kind of quiet and doesn't like too much attention. He's got this irrational fear that people are going to magically know he's a werewolf and hate him for it, which I suppose in a world were legilimens exist, is not too irrational to think. (Though he keeps it a secret I'm open to people finding out because tbh I feel like its not hard to put two and two together when it comes to figuring out which students are wolve) He lacks a lot of confidence and while he's not blatantly unfriendly, he can be a bit suspicious when first meeting people in case they have ulterior motives, because he can't believe people would just want to be his friend. I guess he hates himself a lot for what he is? And so he doesn't think other people should like him either. He spends more time wanting to make friends with merfolk or centaurs because they belong to the Beast category, and thinks they're more "his people" than humans are, and might be able to understand him better.
Interests include long walks in the Forbidden Forest, and Divination. His cousin is a Seer, a gift that runs in his family, and he's hoping that he too will get it to balance out the curse he has. So anything div related he's really enthused about, though he's not very good at it. He's also interested in learning more about muggle things, due to a major lack of experience in the area.
--
Next I have Gideon Zelinsky, fourth year Gryffindor. I'm going to be briefer now because I went on for too long with Al.
Giddy is friendly, outgoing and just wants to have as much fun as possible. He works in a joke shop so he is all about keeping things light-hearted and cheerful. I think its hard for him to dislike or be offended by people, and he isn't the type to hold a grudge. Being his enemy would be hard, but being his friend would be very easy, and he's up for doing almost anything with other people, as long as he'll have a good time doing it. He's a mediocre wizard, who only got through winning his recent duels with sheer luck and humour, and his grades are a bit meh. He's more active and restless, so he won't sit around and study, or read a book (unless it was a comic, because pictures make it better), so he's not likely to be hanging out in the library. I don't know what else to say. He lives more for the now than the future. He's a simple guy with simple interests.
--
Third is Solomon Mordaunt. He's a sixth year Slytherin, and a metamorphmagus.
Sol doesn't like a lot of people. They're typically dull and disappointing, though he enjoys listening in or watching their petty drama from afar, to mock later, or just to keep in the know, since knowledge is still a powerful thing to have. Because of his shapeshifting ability, he views himself as the next evolutionary step for wizardkind who is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else, and sees most "normal" wizards as incompetent and outdated because they can't do what comes so naturally to him. He doesn't have much regard for others, bar a very small few he's been impressed by, and will only generally do things that benefit himself. Because he can be anyone he wants to be, he doesn't typically think rules apply to him, and doesn't really know consequences because most of his problems have been solved by using different identities.
His biggest thing is Potions. Solomon started learning about how useful potions were from a young age, some time after he lost his mother and his father started seeing a new woman, whom may or may not have been Agatha the Hag, and wanted to eat him. Though after finding out about his ability, he was considered more useful uneaten, and started learning all about brewing from her. He firmly believes potions to be more powerful than spells, since they can do so many things a wand cannot, and so he spends most of his time studying the subject, gathering herbs and ingredients from anywhere and everywhere, and attempting to brew old or entirely new potions.

Ok so thats finally done. Its a bit of a mess so sorry about that, in my defense its half past one in the morning and my fingers are just kind of typing on their own. I'm looking for anything for all of them, I think. Friends/enemies/w.e I just need to use them more. I'm open to using other characters of mine, too, these are just the ones I felt like writing about for now. Thank you for reading this far ~




 
Hey, I am not sure how back i will be yet, or even if I will be back for more than it will take to post a few posts on a topic. but I could offer willow as a sort of friend. I can sort of picture her running into him one day after a full moon and sort of recognising the 'symptoms' and alluding to something along those lines. she would certainly be able to show him that everyone in the world won't run away because he is a werewolf (a slytherin on the other hand, she may need a bit of getting used to).
 
I have Perry for Gideon, they are both Gryffindors fourth years. Perry loves nature and isn't the best of wizards either. He is a muggleborn that loves to be outside to play muggle sports. I think they could bond over laziness outside. :"D
 
I can offer Sapphire for the first one, maybe he's drawn in by her reading a divination book or something in the common room. She's trying to be more friendly and I might be able to offer her brother Onyx, who is a total flirt.
 
I have Sara to offer for Gideon. They met already back in like first or second year and I would love for them to become friends officially :)
 
Willow x Alistair
He's the better kind of Slytherin, I promise :r
That sounds good to me, and we can keep it short if you need to. Just let me know what you decide on doing, no rush for it!

Perry x Gideon
They did D&D together right? I'd love to RP more of them and I can see them getting along really well :p
He needs more male friends to hang out with (I think every friend so far has been female? Must be popular with the ladiiiies)

Sapphire/Onyx x Alistair
He'd def be more willing to approach someone both younger and into div so that could work out. He wants to try do some tarot card readings so he might offer to do one for her?
Onyx could be really interesting too, since Alistair isn't used to much attention, let alone in a flirtatious manner, so it'd be fun to see that and the reaction to it :lol:

Sara x Gideon
Their duel was a lot of fun, so I'm totally up for that ^_^ Preferably with less attacking each other with spells this time. Did you have anything in mind?


If anyone wants me to start anything or if they want to start anything just let me knowwww

 
Hey! I don't think we've actually ever RPed outside of shopping/punishment threads so we should change that :lol:

My obvious offering first - Kauri & Gideon are roomies, and they definitely seem like the kind of people who would get along. Kauri is super cheerful and friendly, though he's very averse to rule breaking or hurting people, so if Gideon's the type to pull pranks that could maybe be a point of contention between them? He's also the type to constantly encourage people if he feels like they're slacking, which could maybe be another annoyance. (I think he'd also get along well with Perry, so they could form a little trio if you're up for it Tamara?)

Secondly I have Maybe An Awful Friend For Alistair... Zoe is a third year claw and she's obsessed with cryptids and magical creatures. I can easily see them encountering each other on a search for centaurs or mermaids and becoming friends. She would be HORRIBLE if she ever found out about Alistair being a werewolf though... not intentionally, but she would probably start treating him as a curiosity to be studied, and generally being othering and awful (she's not the most tactful or considerate person) which could be an interesting dynamic... or if you're not up for that they could just be cryptid seeking buddies :p
 
I've really liked Kauri ever since I read one of the firstie tours topics :lol: So yessss I am totally up for them being friends and having a good time. He does love his pranks (He's the type to replace his dorm buddies soaps with frog-spawn soap :r ) and while he wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone as much as he'd inconvenience them, he doesn't really think about how people on the receiving end could be affected, so it could come into play. The encouragement could be a good or a bad thing depending on how its expresed. It might be beneficial for him in the long run, or it might just really be irksome, we'll have to see xD
(And hell yes to the friend trio)


With Zoe yessss I really want Alistair to have someone else whos into magical creatures/intelligent beasts. Though he's much more into like finding them/hanging out to find some sort of sense of kinship rather than studying them, it'd be interesting to see how it turns out? Though obviously he's not going to be vocal about his own intentions for finding them.
It might only be a matter of time before his status as a werewolf is no longer a secret, too. While I do want him to have friends who aren't going to judge him or run away if they knew what he was, I do want him to meet and befriend people who would actually go on and treat him differently if they found out, because that's just how life is, so I'd be happy with that happening.
 
I could have Andy treat him differently, though she would be conflicted as hell.
If you are up for more Andy x Alistair Rps
 
Aaah yay I'm glad you like Kauri! (Also thanks for reminding me I need to start another tours thread for this year :lol: ) That sounds great, I feel like they could be good friends but there definitely might be an element of Kauri being The Annoying Goody Two-Shoes friend xD

And that sounds like a really interesting dynamic with Zoe and Alistair too! I feel like at first they would probably feel like they're interested in the same things for the same reasons, but if they ever met a magical creature together they'd have wildly different reactions, which could be fun. We could have them meet by the lake or forest going for a search?
And yes that sounds good! Zoe will probably be awful if/when she finds out though so I'm sorry in advance for her entire thing :lol:
 
Hello!

I have Beata here for Alistair. She is a fourth year and is the daughter of deranged Scitorari member, Gary Ives (though he's good at hiding it). She does not know that he is Scitorari. She lost her real family in a tragic accident and she was the only survivor. Gary was able to suppress these memories, but she sometimes remembers small things. Despite all this, she is a funny girl who I tried to base off of the Weasley twins. She doesn't like pranks, but she hates seeing people down, and she'd love to try and break Alistair out of his shell because she is stubborn and knows what it's like to have a secret that can potentially change what people think about a person.

So, let me know!
~Lovi
 
Hi Jesse! I'd like to RP with your students more so I'll offer some of mine

For Alistair: I could offer you April for him. She's in his year and would really try to get along with him. She's very loud and can be quite annoying, but I feel like it could be fun xD Her mother is a muggle so she could definitely teach him some things about the muggle world if he wants! Her stepdad is also a werewolf, which she found out somewhat recently. So if she were to find out of Alistair's situation, she would be a lot more understanding than she may have been otherwise.

For Gideon: Gideon already knows April but I'm always willing for a repeat xD they were fun. But I can also offer him Fleur van Houten. She's a Gryffindor in the year below him and I want her to make some more friends. She's not really a prankster by nature, but she can appreciate a good laugh. She's very into dragons and has a cat. Like Gideon, she's very easygoing and cheerful and doesn't easily dislike people.

Solomon I find a bit harder. His interaction with Sophie in the shop right now is hilarious, and he's met Amber through dueling. But I was thinking I could maybe offer Phoebe Holland for him. Like him, she has a passion for potions and an interest in experimenting with them. She's not as averse to spells though, thinking both kinds of magic about equally interesting. Maybe there's something there we can do. ^_^ I have no clue if they would get along, but it could be interesting.
 
Kaitlyn - Always up for more Andy and Al :p I'll shoot you a message soon.
--
Rowan - You're welcome :p And everyone needs their token annoying goody two-shoes friend. Should they have their own topic or did you want to wait for Tamara's opinion with Perry and maybe have a Gryffindor three way topic?
Also I am good for either or when it comes to the lake/forest with A/Z. I've had a lot of my Alistair topics by the lake apparently, so its somewhere he frequents, but the forest might be a good change of scenery. Depends on how much trouble you're happy to risk them getting into :p
--
Lovi - You had me at "daughter of deranged scitorari member" =))
Beata sounds sweet! She's definitely a push in the right direction for him, so I'd love for her to help him stop being so closed off and timid. I don't know how easy it'll be, but if she's stubborn, it shouldn't be a problem :p

Daphne - Hay gurl hay
Alistair and April I'd love to do, especially if it incorporated muggle elements. He's still basically at the same stage Ron was in the scene where he yells through the telephone because he has no idea how to use it, when it comes to how much he knows about the muggle world, though perhaps a little less intense. Realistically he'd probably be more like a grandparent trying to understand modern technology. I had a D&D topic with him learning about how muggles viewed magic and it was a lot of fun playing that whole ignorance toward things we find totally normal, and learning all about it for the first time, so I'm super interested in doing more of that and broadening his knowledge of the non-magical world. (Also I'm pretty sure her step-dad was at the same WW meeting he was so, small world :p )

For Gideon I wouldn't mind him spending more time befriending April too since they've already met and he works for her relative(aunt?) but I don't currently have any ideas of what they could actually be doing other than just hanging out somewhere :lol:
He could probably meet Fleur a bit later down the line?

Solomon is a total pain to figure out what to do with so I get that. I did have a few ideas for him to do certain potions things that I might be able to open up to include Phoebe being able to interact with him that way, so I might have to get back to you with those once I figure them out.
 
Alistair and April sounds like a good combination! I'm really eager to see how they interact. The whole muggle thing is interesting, as I haven't been able to explore that part of April much lately. She definitely still misses her access to technology and wouldn't mind talking about it with someone.

And I think for Gideon April is also good xD I partly wanted to offer you a variety of characters and not just shove April at you twice, but I am eager to explore their friendship more. Their interactions in the past have been fun, though she might still be a little sore about losing to him at dueling. Maybe that's a conversation starter?

Fleur and Gideon down the line would be fun, and I look forward to seeing what you do with Solomon. But focus on these two at first might work best :D

I can start something for the two if you want to! And feel free to message me on SKype of you have any ideas about how they should meet and stuff. <3

That sounds good to me, and we can keep it short if you need to. Just let me know what you decide on doing, no rush for it!
that is good to hear :p
an RP sounds great. do you want to start it or do you want me to?
and if you want me to start do you have any preference as to where?
 
Whoops, sorry to get back to you so late! Given that Tamara hasn't responded yet we could set up a topic for Kauri and Gideon and if she's keen for a trio she can always throw Perry in when she sees this?

Ahaha and I don't mind Zoe getting into trouble :p She's already met a centaur so she'd probably spend more of her time looking for mermaids, but I'll let you decide where they should meet, since Zoe's probably all over the place, and she could always head back to the forest to try and find Abel again :)
 
Could we please see how Fleur and Solomon would mix? I looovveee reading his plots with Geo and I think he'd be an interesting character for Fleur to meet. I don't picture him being over fawning of Fleur like she is used to, though at a much lower level than her best friend Evelyn is used to. So it'd be interesting to see how they'd interact and such. She might ask to draw him since she likes drawing interesting people. If only she knew his hidden gem then she could basically use him as a model to draw anyone in the world when they hung out xD oh well, let me know what you think though!
