Bah! Hunter170, I thiiink maybe you should try filling him out from the view point of a seperate character and not as yourself. I feel roleplaying is all about delving into a character different from yourself (though you and your character often have similar traits, I've found) and applying them to situations to test their reactions based on how other people interact with them. It's all very similar to acting, only where you have to depict not only what your character is saying, but also their body motions, the setting, and the emotions coursing through them all through words.

Being that this is a roleplay that I am hosting, I want all of my participants to try adhering to this rule I've set for both their own self-benefit and for the overall cohesiveness of the roleplay. Try to do as if you're writing a novel and you have to describe your main character. Also, because this is a roleplay based on a fictional piece, try to incorporate pieces from the Harry Potter series into your character.

There's also quite a few typos and general errors, but you have potential. This is in no way to be rude or mean, and I assure you the tone I'm trying to use to convey my message is of the utmost amount of respect. :}

its not a problem... i can do a run through for typos (i know my grammar sucks its a permanent problem of mine) as for the overall character traits, i'm not entirely sure how much i can change... yeah the pictures me but the overall story line really isn't... and its also the way i personally love to RP... i can meditate and look into i though

Hm. Well, I'm afraid you'll either have to compromise "the way you personally love to RP" in order to be in my roleplay. D: You have to conform to the requirements of a roleplay you're joining or not join at all, my friend. It's kind of like how you can't parade into a vegetarian club and promptly sit down to devour a pile of ribs, claiming "that's just how I roll", ya dig?

The quality of posts are very important to me. I'm talking about the basics here (capitalization, punctuation) This can be achieved simply by checking your work and exerting a little effort, dawg.

Here's my character, I hope it's good. Let me know if I need to change anything. I'm also going to look at making a canon character, possibly Hugo Weasley since it seems that people want him to be played.

DWIGHT ANTHONY HANCOCK
Image

Nicknames: D, Tony, or Ike
Age: 16, starting my sixth year.
Height: 5'10"
Eyes/Hair: Brown/Black
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Gender: Male
House: Ravenclaw
Broomstick: Cleansweep 20
Likes: Classes (Especially Charms and Transfiguration)
Quidditch
Reading
American Football
Going to Hogsmeade
Airplanes
Speed
Dislikes: Hot Weather
Stupidity
Lack of Books
Homework
Losing at Quidditch
Personality: I tend to be very booky and keep to myself. I'm not the most social of people, I really don't like drama, but I really do like to hang out with my friends. I'm a pretty avid Military buff, in part because of my dad, and am a very patriotic American. Unlike other Ravenclaws, I absolutely loathe to do homework and put it off to the absolute last minute to pursue my own persoanl studies and interests. That being said, I do get good grades, especially in my favorite classes of Transfiguration and Charms. While I do love the wizarding world I also love the muggle world, which I will admit that I think is slightly better than the wizarding one.
Biography: Well, I guess I should start with a brief history of my parents. My dad is Harold Hancock. He's a muggle, born and raised in America, the typical American teenager. My mom is Cho Chang. She's from the UK and went to Hogwarts. I know she was involved in the Second Wizarding War, but she doesn't like to talk about it a lot. After the war she moved to America, probably to get away from some of the memories. She lived with the muggles, and eventually met my dad. They got really well and finally started dating. Dad eventually proposed, and that's when mom told him she was a witch. Dad, of course, didn't care since he loved mom.
I was born in the US, but I never really stayed in a place for to long. My dad was a pilot in the Air Force and so we moved a lot. I've gone to multiple wizarding schools, but I've never got close to anyone. My dad got assigned to RAF Lakenheath this last year. My mom was really exciting, and so was I to be able to go to her old school. Now I'm starting my second year at Hogwarts, which is my sixth year. I'm also a beater on the Ravenclaw Quiditch team.

HUGO BARNABUS WEASLEY
Image

Nicknames: None that I'm going to share
Age: 14
Height: 5'7"
Eyes/Hair: Standard Weasley red hair and brown eyes.
Gender: Guy
House: Gryffindor
Broomstick: Nimbus 2005
Likes: Gryffindor
My best friend and cousin Lily
My family
Food
Red and Gold
Flying
Quidditch
Dislikes: Most Slytherins (There are a few exceptions)
School Work
Teachers
Rules
Teachers Pets
Personality: I tend to be fairly loud and obnoxious, and I have very little in the way of tact and manners. My mum says I'm a lot like my dad. I love to have fun and am always looking to have a good time. I sometimes hurt people, but I never mean to. I'm quick to forgive and hope people will be the same way with me. I love Hogwarts, especially my house of Gryffindor, and I always give my cousins and my sister in the other houses a hard time, but they know I'm joking. At least I hope I do. My favorite cousin is Lily, who I hang out with as much as possible. As much as I hate school work, I have inheireted my mum's smarts. I love to read and the library is one of my favorite places in the whole school, right after the Gryffindor Common Room and the Quidditch Pitch.
Biography: Not much to say on this. I'm the Son of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, two of the golden trio. I'm also a Weasley, so I grew up in the big, loving Weasley family, all of whom I love. I'm more of the kind of person who lives in the present, so you can ask my sister Rose if you want more details on the early stuff.
I couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts. Fortunately I was sorted into Gryffindor. The stupid sorting hat came too close to putting my in Ravenclaw. It is most definitely the best of the four houses, something I make sure to always remind my family of. I was also fortunate enough to get on the Quiditch team. I love Quidditch, so I'm glad I can play with and against all of my friends and cousins. I'm the Gryffindor Seeker, which I love, especially playing against my Sister Rose and my Cousin Lily.

I finished my profile, or most of it for Dominique.
Please tell me if it is okay.
I also put her on the quidditch team as a chaser e___e..
I might tamper with her interests and such later but what do you think D;?
Also are there any prefects or head students in this o_o I don't know that I would want my character to be one but she is one of the older ones therefor I am asking.

AW SHOOT, I forgot about prefects. There are two prefects from each house for 5th-7th years. Well, all the fifth years would be just now becoming a prefect. They would have been told over the summer, and at some point on the ride to Hogwarts would be filled in on their duties. But that's still a total of 24 prefects. BASICALLY, EVERYONE CAN BE ONE. Hahahahaaha.
Uh, I'll make a chart and everyone just tell me if you want to be one.

Edit: lawljk

LSDJediMaster, you most definitely should post them both in the profile thread, and then you can get to posting in the IC thread. It's a pleasure to have you aboard.

Fallen, she's great. Do exactly what I just told LSD to do. Hahaha.

Fantasygirl, all is well. :>

I can be one if you'd like.
Hope it wont rob my character of any random spontaneous moments that can get her into trouble 8D
Maybe she just avoids that sort of thing well xD..

Your characters in no way HAVE to be a prefect. If it doesn't make sense for them to be, they shouldn't be. Hahaha. I'm just going to post this and edit it here, because you're only allowed to edit the first post a certain amount of times, and I've already edited it so many.

ACTUALLY, scratch all of this. I think this whole deal will just make things loads more complicated than necessarry. If you want your character to be a prefect, just... do it. Hahaha.

Also, Fallen, Dominique is sososo pretty! :'O
