Introduction
- Everyone knows well about the Triwizard Tournament that is held at Hogwarts which welcomes Durmstrang and Beuxbatons students, but what about the rest of the schools across the world? Those three schools may well have been the first to begin the traditions of the Triwizard Tournament, but it didn't take long for The Ilvermorny School to adopt the games. This tournament centres around the students of Ilvermorny as well as Mahoutokoro and Castelobruxo.
Based in the North of America, Ilvermorny was founded in the seventeenth century. It stands at the highest peak of Mount Greylock, where it is concealed from non-magic gaze by a variety of powerful enchantments, which sometimes manifest in a wreath of misty cloud. As might be expected of a school part-founded by a No-Maj, Ilvermorny has the reputation of being one of the most democratic, least elitist of all the great wizarding schools. However the school stick to the rules of the Triwizard Tournament and only those over the age of eighteen may partake in the events (that's not to say younger years still don't try).
Mahoutokoro is an ancient Japanese school has the smallest student body of the eleven great wizarding schools and takes students from the age of seven (although they do not board until they are eleven). While day students, wizarding children are flown back and forth to their homes every day on the backs of a flock of giant storm petrels. The ornate and exquisite palace of Mahoutokoro is made of mutton-fat jade, and stands on the topmost point of the 'uninhabited' (or so Muggles think) Volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima.
Castelobruxo, the Brazilian school for magic, which takes students from all over South America, may be found hidden deep within the rainforest. The fabulous castle appears to be a ruin to the few Muggle eyes that have ever fallen upon it (a trick shared by Hogwarts; opinion is divided on who got the idea from whom). Castelobruxo is an imposing square edifice of golden rock, often compared to a temple. Both building and grounds are protected by the Caipora, small and furry spirit-beings who are extraordinarily mischievous and tricky, and who emerge under cover of night to watch over the students and the creatures who live in the forest.
Set as the foreign students have just arrived at Ilvermorny, the tournament has yet to begin and, as is customary, after the first task has been completed, students above the fourth year will be able to attend the Triwizard Tournament's Yule Ball. Despite only one student per school being able to take part, the rest of the eligible participants will stay and enjoy the festivities along with them.
- - Please make your characters between the ages of 13-18.
- Please use real face claims. Just tell me in the OOC who they are and I'll add it to the front page.
- Feel free to use your own character skeleton, although I have also provided one in the OOC.
- Reservations will last 48 hours, please send in at least a WIP during that time.
- Swearing is fine, violence is unlikely but allowed in moderation.
- Please, no god modding, Mary Sues, bunnying etc.
- No killing anyone's characters or harming them, at least not without their consent.
- Romance is fine, just don't go into some of the details that may occur.
- Be active in the OOC, an active OOC makes for a role-play that is less likely to die.
- Post should be 3 paragraphs and above 300 words. I understand if some times there's not much detail you can go into, quality over quantity always!
- Reservations last 48 hours unless you message me with a reason why you cannot complete your character in that timeframe.
- Feel free to send me a message with any questions.
- I will be coming up with the tasks which the chosen contestants will partake in, but feel free to suggest ideas as well.
- Only characters aged 18 will be able to put their name into the goblet.
- The victors will be chosen at random (I'll use some kind of online randomiser and input all the names of the characters who wish to partake - I see that as most fair).
- Your character doesn't have to be taking art in the tournament to come along! It's a festivity for all the schools to celebrate.
- If all the roles are taken I am happy to open up more! Just ask :-)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 1 authors
0.00 INK
Ilvermorny's halls were flushed with excitement. It seemed as if the entirety of the student body had crowded into the great hall, restlessly awaiting the arrival of the other wizarding schools. The sound began softly, but quickly the melodious tune of the Japanese Shakuhachi rose and filled the great hall with a aura of calmness. As the Mahoutokoro students filed into the hall, each year with a designated Shakuhachi player, flowers began to spill from the ends of them. Along came the drums, and with every hit of the beat, lights shot from the sticks in the students' hands. The cobbled ground Mahoutokoro walked on seemed to come to life and between the cracks in the stones rose beautiful flowers. Most Ilvermorny students sat in awe; they had never seem any magic such as this before.
As soon as the Mahoutokoro students and their array of flowers had arrived, they vanished. Falling back to the sides so to let the next school enter with just as much grandeur. On cue, Castelobruxo make their entrance.
The halls is filled with sounds of nature, snakes hissing and monkeys calling to their troop. Students dressed in a variation of masks come rushing in, one young students run ahead of the others and performs acrobatics as the rest follow suit. It's truly a sight to be seen and if the Mahoutokoro display hadn't already wowed Ilvermorny's students, this certainly would. Despite being two very different schools, Mahoutokoro and Castelobruxo's performances seemed to melt beautifully into each other as again, the students of the latter school faded into the background and stood on the opposite side of the hall to the Japanese students.
Although both performances called for a high level of respect, nothing quite matched Agilbert Fontaine (Ilvermorny's headmaster) when it came to commanding a room. Silencing the hall with one hush, all students eyes were glued to the tall man.
"Thank you all for coming to join us in the annual celebration of the Triwizard Tournament," Agilbert began, his voice soft and yet loud enough to fill the room. "And a special thank you goes out to headmistress Dourado, and headmaster Saito, without whom there wouldn't even be a triwizard tournament." Sending the two heads a gracious nod, headmistress Dourado sends Agilbert a roll of the eyes and flicks her wrist as to say 'think nothing of it', whilst stately headmaster Saito sends Ilvermorny's headmaster a stern nod back, a smile never once gracing his face.
Once Agilbert's speech has finished and the students are settled into their seats, the man calls for the food to be served and quickly, the once quiet hall becomes rife with noise and chatter as each student tries to get to know those from other schools.
