How To Apply

[/b][/u][/color]


1: Check the Character List to see if the canon character you want is free. Or if you are creating an OC, check to see if there is space for your character in the year/house that you want them in.
2: If the character/spot is free, sign them up with an account.
3: Once you have an account, start a new thread in the Character Applications section in which to put your application, using your character’s name as the title.
4: Copy and Paste the code from the box at the bottom of this post, fill in the details about yourself and your character, and post it up in the thread you just created.

Easy as that.

NOTE:: Once you have created an account within the group, you will have 24 hours to either fill in and post your application, or to at least post that you would like a character reserved for the purpose of that account in the Reserved Characters thread.
ANY Accounts that have merely been made and not used will be deleted after 24 hours unless the matter has previously been discussed with one of the staff.

Now, below is a quick mock up to give you an idea of what your form should look like.

Character Application

-Part One-
:The REAL You:
(Feel free to fill in as much or as little of this as you would like.)

Name: Tobey
Age: 23
Location: UK.
Timezone: GMT
RP expierience: Enough
MSN/Aim/YM: MSN, on request.
the 'I read the rules' code?: ********* *** ******


-Part Two-
:Your Character:

Name: Draco Orion Abraxus Malfoy
Age/D.O.B: June 5th, 1992. Age 16.
House & Year: Slytherin, 5th Year.
Lineage: Pureblood.
Family: Only son of Lucius and Narcissa (nee Black) Malfoy.
Personality: Draco finds himself easily attracted to the darker side of life, finding a somewhat sick satisfaction in others suffering and keeping company who tend to think in similar ways. He is a rather guarded person who always has some sort of barrier up, whether he is aware of it or not. He’s not particularly easy going and can in fact be a bit of a control freak, fretting easily over not getting his own way. He also has a bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth and frequently speaks without thinking. Oh, and he whines.. A lot..
Physical Appearance: White blonde hair. Grey eyes. Skinny, although slightly athletic.
Avatar choice: Tom Felton.
Character History: Canon. To be elaborated on at a later date when I am not in dire need of sleep (lol).
Deviations from Canon?: My Draco is slightly darker than the canon variation, as well as a bit more amusingly clueless. He is also best friends with Blaise Zabini; the twos families have a fair deal of history and the boys have known each other since childhood. Also, he likes a bit of a drink. Lol.
Other: None I can think of.

Short RP Sample
(a minimum of a 200 words, featuring your character and anyone else you see fit, in the same style you will be RP-ing.):

*Draco walked into the common room with a scowl, heading straight towards a corner chair and throwing his bag down beside it as he slumped down onto the seat’s plush leather. The fireside sofas were already occupied and the idea of heading to his dorm was not a pleasant one; the two thoughts coupled together caused his brow to furrow even more so as he stared towards the floor, lost in thought.

It was all Potters fault. Of course it was Potters fault, it always was. Or at least, that was what Draco tried to reason to himself more often than not.

If Potter hadn't been whispering to his pathetic ginger accomplice, turning over his shoulder every so often to shoot a derisive look towards Draco before turning back to his moronic, penniless friend and resuming their aggravating chatter; then perhaps Draco would have been paying more attention to his wand-work during their Charms lesson, and consequently would not have sent a banishing charm in the direction of the tiny professor Flitwick instead of the heavy box that he was supposed to be aiming at.
And if he had been minding his wand-work to begin with rather than narrowing his eyes in preparation for Potter's next glance, perhaps he would not have had to watch under the rather harsh strain of suppressed laughter as the professor flew across the room and into a high stack of books, sending the entire heavy load tumbling down on top of him and quite effectively trapping him there, one tiny foot sticking out with an odd sort of twitch to it.
And if Draco had not chosen that moment to allow his laughter to surface, just as several eager to help Gryffindors wrestled Flitwick out from under the pile of books, then he wouldn't have had to spend the past three hours not only helping the Charms professor to clear the mess - by hand, no less - but reorganising some of the old man's personal stores as a fitting form of punishment.
And without such a punishment taking up the majority of his evening, he would have been curled up in the smallest chair by the fire, a book in his lap and a smirk on his lips at the amusing events of the day, rather than a scowl at how dismal they had turned out.

it was all Potters fault, it always was.*

Note:: Your Display Name can only be changed by staff, for the sake of stopping anyone from trying to change their characters or pretend to be someone else. Once you have filled in your application, we will change your display name to fit the name you have given us. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Also; Please only post here if you have any questions regarding the application process itself.

Your character applications should not be posted here, they should be created in their own individual thread in the Character Applications part of the board. Click the link if you're unsure what I mean, it's a pretty easy system.
