Close friends of the founder/leader Old friends from long before he founded the society.

* A retired Auror from United States
(The leader used to be an FBI Special Agent in the 1950s and 1960s, retired years ago. And he's an Animagus.) This old friend always disagreed with the backwards attitudes MACUSA had about wizard-muggle relationships and other closeminded government policies. So he was glad to and fiercely loyally joined his friend's cause in Britain that has its own such problems. He could be a werewolf (but doesn't have to be), and be a spy in the Ministry for the secret society. They would share interests and views outside of these matters too, of course. This friend could be either man or a woman.

* A former Hogwarts professor
She was a Potions professor at Hogwarts in the 1970s and befriended my OC. (The leader was a Transfiguration professor there between 1972-1975.) This friend is also a muggle-born who's struggled in the wizarding society because of it. They bonded over common interests and values. She too is an Animagus. She has a son who back then was a firt year at Hogwarts. The kid's father (possibly a blood-purist) had abandoned them when the boy was born. My OC becamse sort of a father-figure to the boy and developed a close bond with him, which she appreciated. All this past made them close, good friends and her want to join his cause in the 1980s.

I'm looking for players who are interested in writing threads also in a slice of life style as in also write threads that have nothing or very little to do with the secret society part but that are just about their friendship and lives in general. Yes, we may focus on the site-wide plot stuff but that's not all I want to do. I want well-rounded character and relationship development. (I play the founder/leader.)


WIZARDING FAMILIES

All wizardkind regardless of blood status, wealth, or social standing are more or less affected by the threat the secret society poses. Be it positively or negatively. To have the best chance to survive the threat, they should either fight the secret society as in find a way to aid the Ministry, or support the secret society's cause in some way. But some may still want to or need to choose the middle ground of just trying to live their life as normally as possible. Anyway, the world situation is likely to cause clashes between different kind of families and personalities way more than usually but then also the threat concerns everyone whilst nothing's black-and-white, so unlikely friendships can form. As can just regular friendships as people bond over shared situations.

Also, at one point something happens at Hogwarts that causes a lot of parents to pull their children out and opt to homeschool them instead. Which offers further plotting possibilities.

Right now there's my two wizarding families whose fathers are in law enforcement, (an Auror and a muggle police force officer), mothers are muggle-borns, and they have young children of which one is a squib and one a werewolf. They don't let the world situation consume their lives. So they can associate with many kinds of families and people. I'm looking to write in a slice of life way, so that not every single game event involves the site-wide plot. I want well-rounded character and relationship development.

* Newt Scamander

My OC family is his kin and I vision they're close with him. I created his nephew (who's an Auror) and nephew's wife (who owns Magical Menagery) and son (who's very young and equally enthusiastic about fantastic beasts and where to find them)...So, Newt's nephew is likely to be one of those Aurors trying to bring Children of Merlin down whilst his wife may feel conflicted about the whole thing, and their son may feel torn. I think it would be interesting to see what the older Newt would do in this world situation.

* A muggle and a squib with a young werewolf son

Both parents could be squibs if you absolutely don't want to write about a muggle. To befriend my OC family who has a young werewolf son and a young squib daughter and a muggle-born mother. Your family's father is a police officer collegue of my family's father who is a wizard working in the muggle police force. The collegue just so happens to have a squib wife and also have a young werewolf son. Their son is tormented by being a werewolf whilst my OC family's son is enthusiastic about it. They're hoping the boys' polar opposite attitudes could balance each other out a little bit to make it healthier for them. The friend family's squib mother could support my OC family's daughter what with them feeling like they fall in between belonging to neither society truly. My OC family's mother is also out of the picture at that point so the friend family's squib mother would kinda be a mother-figure to her. As they spend time together outside of work and as families they discover they have more positive things in common as well, (interests and values.)


THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE YEAR 1991-1992

We cover also this canon event year, and we already have a few student characters (aged 11-13) who offer a lot of possibilities. They have parents who can also be brought in if needed. So, other students as well as Hogwarts staff would be awesome so we could enjoy this part o fthe timeline as well. Hogwarts has a lot of teachers for each subject so OCs can be created too. A Hogwarts teacher can be a squib too, as most of the subjects don't requite spell casting abilities + in this RPGs universe Hogwarts subjects include also english, science and math. Of course Hogwarts staff has plenty of possibilities during that site-wide main plot too, especially during school breaks.

* Ravenclaw boy

To befriend my OC who's Newt Scamander's relative and equally enthusiastic about fantastic beasts and where to find them and caring for them. They could have adventures in the Forbidden Forest and study Fluffy. Outside of Hogwarts they could enjoy Newt's menagery and my OCs pet niffler or work in his mother's pet shop. And just generally develop their friendship as pre-teens in the wizarding society. They befriended before Hogwarts and could be in some way involved in the Children of Merlin plot as well as they were 8 to 10 year olds when that took place and my OCs father is an Auror.]]> ORIGINAL MEMBER(S) OF "CHILDREN OF MERLIN"

I have created his nephew and nephew's wife and son as my OCs, and vision that they're close with Newt even if his brother Theseus isn't. His nephew is an Auror, the wife owns the pet shop on Diagon Alley and a magic shop on Charing Cross Road, and the son was born in 1978, is enthusiastic about fantastic beasts and owns a niffler. So there's plenty we can do with their story both during the war and during the years of relative peace.


REMUS LUPIN

I have an OC family whose young son becomes a werewolf in 1987 at age 7, and I'd like them to befriend Remus at some point. The son is cured from the infection in early 1993 at age 13. In-universe the characters don't figure out how it happened but I have a detailed vision of the cure written in our board-canon werewolf lore. The boy loves being a werewolf so he's a good contrast to Remus. I have no particular over-arching plot for them, would like to just write a friendship and see what it brings.

I also have an OC Auror who's an Animagus. (Animal form is raven.) I'm planning he either is part of the original Order of the Phoenix or at least knows about it and helps them from inside the Ministry during the First Wizarding War. He too could befriend Remus and even learn about his condition because he's not prejudiced the least bit when it comes to werewolves. He's Newt Scamander's nephew and his wife and son love magical creatures. The whole family is open-minded. But they may as well not learn about Remus' condition if you'd rather they don't.


HARRY POTTER

Harry is a child during our timeline but I keep hoping there's someone who'd be enthusiastic to explore his life before Hogwarts and during his first Hogwarts year and have him have more friends and not just Hermione and Ron. I have two child characters; a werewolf boy the same age as Harry who will be a Slytherin at Hogwarts, and Newt Scamander's nephew's son who's two years older than Harry and will be a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. I'd like one or both of them to befriend Harry. Preferrably before Hogwarts years, but at least in the beginning of Harry's first year. And you know, write about a developing friendship.


HOGWARTS STAFF

Any Hogwarts staff member would be fine. Either canon or OC. I have OC child characters at Hogwarts between 1989 an 1992, the other is a werewolf in Slytherin and the other is Newt Scamander's relative in Ravenclaw. And I'm planning to have one of my adult OCs take the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for the year 1990-1991. So there'd be both adult and child characters to interact and plot with.]]> NEWT SCAMANDER
