RPG: Hallowed Be Their Names

[mllelaurel]

Some of you may have heard about the Harry Potter game wired_lizard and I had in the works. And if you haven't, I present it to you now:



Warning: This game in general and its summary in particular contain fatal spoilers for Deathly Hallows and veer off into AU territory. Read at your own risk.


The battle for Hogwarts is nearing its close. The Boy Who Lived is dead, and with him the last hopes of the resistance. Desperate and drawing on her final dregs of power, Hermione Granger casts one last protective spell over the castle, letting it mingle and war with the wards already in place, its power phenomenal and utterly unpredictable. Stories below, Ron Weasley seizes a chance he could never have expected and commits what might well be the bravest and most foolish act in his short life, aided by his fallen friend's cloak, a stone found in the forest, and a wand seized from his worst enemy.

And Harry Potter, tired beyond measure, boards his last train.

Now Hogwarts is sealed off from the outside world. The Death Eaters left outside the impenetrable wards are disoriented the sudden disappearance of Voldemort and Harry's body from within their ranks, but that cannot last forever. Inside the besieged castle, the survivors huddle together, unable to contact friends and loved ones, much less hope for reinforcements.

Until the dead start coming back to life...

Oh! I want to play! I'm kind of interested in being Ron, actually.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Could you e-mail me, please. There are a few details to square away with Ron, and I could give you the app info.

Alternate Universe. Deathly Hallows. Greatestjournal.

Oh curses. I really didn't want a game, but it sounds too fun. Expect applications, but hold me to a character limit.

...I couldn't by chance apply for Grindewald, could I?

[rigel.livejournal.com]

Oy.

Now, see, I'd like to play. Except that I'm not familiar enough with the HPverse, much as I like it, to do anyone in particular especially well. Mrf.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

*dances a little jig* I'm so glad you're applying!

Talk to wired_lizard regarding Grindewald. He's definitely applyable-for, but she might well have some questions/suggestions.

[khirsah.livejournal.com]

I went ahead and applied earlier today. *G*

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Yep! Just saw your e-mail. ^_^

[khirsah.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I wasn't 100% clear if a character sheet was needed as part of the application or whether that was the "next step". Should I send in sheets or wait?

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

You can *definitely* get started on the character sheets for Sirius and Lily. I'd say fill one out for Gellert as well.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Aw. Well, stick around and see if a character winds up biting unexpectedly. That happens sometimes. Oh! If you don't think you're familiar enough with the main characters, you could always take someone who played a small (or just-mentioned) role in the books and expand on them. That allows for a lot of freedom.

Anyone you'd suggest? I can play book-smart, so Ravenclaw is a possibility, but I'm often better about ideals, leaving the other houses as greater possibilities. Individual personality is likely more important than house personality. You've RPed with me; you know me fairly well.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

The one who immediately sprang to mind is Rowena Ravenclaw. Yes, Founders are allowed.

Other suggestions. Let's see...how similar are your online RPG/writing tastes to your LARPing character tastes?
