Image Important Information & Other Things To Note

Time & Relation to Hogwarts: The Battle of Hogwarts occurred 2 May, 1998. It's conclusion saw the partial destruction of the school and it's grounds. Orion, along with many other international wizarding schools, opened its doors to those students displaced during the school's repair, and to anyone else interested in attending the school. We can assume that our roleplay takes place in the present year, 2015. Therefore our darling students would be those born in the year and those on either side of the Second Wizarding War's end. Those who come from the United Kingdom might have had older family members - parents, grandparents etc - involved in the battle, though many also might not. In the present time Hogwarts is once again repaired, with the next generation attending just as our students attend Orion.


Image Getting to Orion: Organising the arrival of hundreds of students from across the globe is a logistical nightmare. Thankfully magic offers a handy solution. All international students are expected to find their own way to Australia, though the school has coordinated networks of floo powder and portkeys that are commonly used by many. From Australia a magical ship ferries the students to Orion, magic allowing the vessel to complete the long voyage in only an hour. Those students coming from other countries in the pacific region are given information of smaller vessels leaving from their closest ports.

Orion Island: Happily situated between New Zealand and Australia, Orion sits on an island magically shielded from muggle technology. It shares the island with Mākutu, a quaint little village which serves much the same purpose as Hogsmeade does to Hogwarts. While an Island, don't mistake it for tropical. The island has a temperature climate with four distinct seasons, with summer (December - February) reaching an average temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and the winter average being 12 °C (54 °F).

Image Orion Institute: The school itself sits on a ledge of rock above a picturesque cove, in which the ships bringing students to the school dock and depart. A winding pathway leads up to a sprawling lawn where it splits, one path heading to the school's grand entrance, while the other heads through a thick forest to Mākutu. Access to the beach and forest is forbidden to students without appropriate supervision. The school building is an old castle, as magical and full of secret passages as any other school. Staircases are prone to moving, suits of armour change positions in the night, and magical waterfalls appear at random to drench unwary students. Phoenicis and Pegasi dormitories are found in separate towers and both accessed by passwords, Phoenicis in the East Tower which catches the sun every morning, and Pegasi in the North Tower which overlooks the island. Centaurus' dormitory is a snug series of rooms beside the expansive library, and opened by reciting a short piece of literature of the door's desired theme. Draconis can be found beneath the castle, with a large window through the cliff face offering a view of the cove below, and a weekly changing spell needed to enter.

Potions Club – Co-leader: Galina Reyes
Magical Creatures Club (M.C.C)
Astronomy Club
Ancient Runes Club
Transfiguration Club
Herbology Club - Co-leader: Maireadh Fjestad

Fox Club – An informal name for Rutherford Fox's favourite students, invited and 'collected' by the perceptive teacher either due to their own talent or familial connections. It is known as being selectively exclusive, and not all students who are asked to join do.

Flying Club - A club for the flying enthused.
Duelling Club
Native Magic Club – A club dedicated to exploring various indigenous magic of both the Pacific region and other international places. Students learn and collaborate together to share their knowledge.

Wizarding Chess Club (W.C.C)
Wizard Card Collectors Club (W.C.C.C)
United Magic of the World Model Club (U.M.W.M.C), UM Club for short – Much like muggle UN model clubs, UM offers politically minded students a chance to explore the international politics of the Magic world. - Co-leader: Aidan Zeller

Food International Club (F.I.C) – A club dedicated to creating and sampling meals from across the globe.
Music Club
Book Club
Frog Choir
Art Club – Co-leader: Maireadh Fjestad
Knitting Club – Co-leader: Galina Reyes
Swimming Club

Nap Club – A club only semi-official, and partially frowned upon by several of Orion's staff members. Nap Club is, as the name suggests, a club dedicated to taking naps. The clubroom shifts with the members' mood, though always includes numerous beds for the club's main activity; napping. [X] [X]

Godric and Aidan Appreciation Society (G.A.A.S) - An informal club dedicated to discussing the advantages of Godric and Aidan.

Ghosts & Other NPCs

Ghosts & Other NPCs

A brief summary of the ghosts and other entities which inhabit the castle. A big thank you to Emmie for helping me find some face claims and making some of the icons, as well as Layla for her FC suggestion. More can be added if you have inspiration.



╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: To'afa Avia
    Known as: The Marked Warrior
    House: Draconis
    Personality: Intimidating, stern, and usually seen with a frown on his face,
    The Marked Warrior has a fearsome persona and will rarely speak with anyone
    outside of those in his house. When he does speak, it will be in Samoan, regardless
    of whether he can be understood.
    Face Claim: Robbie Magasiva
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Lady Chikako Tsukino
    Known as: The Painted Lady
    House: Centaurus
    Personality: Graceful, quiet, and undoubtedly regal, Lady Tsukino glides
    through the castle without a word, often seen wearing traditional Japanese robes.
    If asked about her death she will merely say it was a matter of honour before bowing
    and gliding away.
    Face Claim: --
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Adoni Ngariba
    Known as: The Cheerful Cook
    House: Pegasi
    Personality: Eternally cheerful and always happy to joke with students,
    Ngariba is a favourite in the castle. He'll glide through pupils just to see their faces,
    and his laughter will boom down the corridor at their shocked expressions.
    Face Claim: David Gulpilil
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Putri Alatas
    Known as: The Wayward Seafarer
    House: Phoenicis
    Personality: A happy mannered ghost who is most knowledgeable about ancient
    Indonesian charms, particularly those related to sailing. There are rumours that
    Putri was an infamous pirate in her day and made use of the island to bury copious
    amounts of treasure, though she'll deny as much while hiding a secretive smile.
    Face Claim: Mariana Renata
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Rollo Eriksson
    Known as: The Viking
    House: --
    Personality: A large man in life, The Viking is still impressive as a ghost. He is
    not affiliated with any house, but can often be found with The Marked Warrior, so is
    most familiar with those from Draconis. He also takes kindly to any student hailing from
    Scandinavia and shows a particular dislike for those from the UK.
    Face Claim: Clive Standen
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Greta Sanders
    Known as: The Confused Phantom
    House: Ex-member of Pegasi
    Personality: A sweet, if not naive girl when alive, Greta still hasn't completely
    come to terms with her own demise and can often be found attempting
    to attend classes as if she were still alive. The teachers don't have the heart to
    correct her and students have learned not to either as her tears can be violent.
    Face Claim: Hannah Murray
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Andrea Prebble
    Known as: The Vain Ghost
    House: Ex-member of Centaurus
    Personality: A beauty when alive, Andrea still glides through the corridors convinced
    of her own importance. She will stop passing students and ask them how she looks,
    often becoming sulky or enraged when receiving anything short of positive comments.
    Face Claim: Milou Sluis
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝


╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image

    Name: Sir Alfred Holdsworth
    Known as: The Silver Knight
    House: N/A
    Personality: One of the many suits of armour that may move and speak in the castle,
    Sir Alfred lays claim to one of the 6th floor corridors and will challenge any student,
    teacher, ghost, or animal who wanders past to a duel. Some students have found it
    amusing to remove Sir Alfred's head (the helmet) and watch as his body searches
    blindly while his head continues to shout challenges and threats.
    Face Claim: N/A
