THE RESTRICTIONS
» First off, make sure your character acts their age. First year students should not be able to produce advanced spells like the Patronus Charm. Please use common sense while role-playing.[/url][/blockquote][/size]
» As far as other magical creatures such as werewolves, vampires, etc., I will allow them to a certain extent. Your application must impress me if you wish to have one of these characters. I will not just give it to anyone. So please make sure you are familiar with playing these characters before attempting an application.
» Any student caught casting an Unforgiveable Curse will be expelled from Hogwarts. This will force you to RP in other areas only, so please keep that in mind if you want to get a bit risky.
» No deaths or student pregnancies are allowed unless you have direct permission from me, the admin. NO EXCEPTIONS.
» I will not allow any student character to have the ability to perform ligilimens or occlumency, unless you have a really good reason for knowing how to use that advanced magic. Remember –Harry only knew of it because Snape taught him, and even then he wasn’t all that great at it. So in my opinion, students aren’t allowed to have it on the site.
» Same thing goes with mental spell casting. I will allow 7th year students to have this ability, but you have to take it as a grain of salt. You can’t be perfect at it. In the books, 7th year students are just starting to learn how to perform mental spells, and those were in advanced classes.
» Please don’t bring characters from other magical shows or universes. I just won’t accept it. So don’t sign up as Piper Halliwell or one of her sisters; this isn’t a Charmed site, it’s Harry Potter. I also won’t accept characters with super powers. Really, please try to stick to Harry Potter.
» Only 7th year students may have animagus powers – except for the four marauders. I’m not playing favorites, just trying to stay canon.
» Professors don’t necessarily have to be canon; you can create originals if you wish. I love creativeness and don’t mind if you want to play someone not in JKR’s world. Just make sure they mesh in with the Harry Potter characters.
» You can create adults, muggles, creatures, ghosts, etc. Just realize that with each character you chose you might be limited to certain areas that you’re allowed to role-play. I know right now I don’t have a muggle board in the RP areas but I will add it if I see it is needed.
» Student ages should match up with their years. For example:
First Year – 11
Second Year –12
Third Year – 13
Fourth Year – 14
Fifth Year – 15
Sixth Year – 16
Seventh Year – 17
» Your character can’t be all-powerful or all knowing. God-modding isn’t allowed. You can’t control the actions of other characters unless you have permission from them. I know sometimes it’s necessary to move on a thread but make sure you have their permission.
» In battles or duels you cannot say the result of the other character dueling with you. If you cast a spell at them, it is their responsibility to write a response to that spell. Also, keep in mind that you can’t always avoid danger. Try to be realistic when role-playing duels.
