Greetings and Salutations!
And a big welcome to, Hogwarts: Reborn!
And a big welcome to, Hogwarts: Reborn!
OK, first things first: Before we get any further on with the rules and whatnot, I would like to explain one, key factor to this RP: The main (and sometimes only) point of this group; is to have fun!!
This is not going to be one of your RP’s where you are forced to attend lessons, nor where you’ll get in shit for having a crack up or breaking a few of what other sites might consider as ‘school rules’. No sir. That’s not quite our cup of firewhiskey spiked tea.
We LIKE carnage. We LIKE injuries and drama. We LIKE in house rivalry. We LIKE drunken parties that would - in any other school - likely get you expelled! The way we work here, is that the students pretty much rule the school, or it seems near enough half the time. Sure, there might be a few detentions given out for misdemeanour's, and there may be the occasional teacher lurking in the background ready to catch a few people out on the odd occasion.. But, the way we like to work things, is causing mischief and havoc under the pretence of being Hogwarts students with the extra adage of wands.
So yes, we’re all about frivolous fun in between juicy bouts of plot here; Whether to you, having fun means random duels in the hallways after dark, hooking up with as many characters as humanly possible, inspiring a little house unity with random get-togethers, dabbling with potions for their drug-like effects, studying for some high powered ministry position, or getting your character as drunk as humanly possible and having them streak across the grounds during a Quidditch match.. Whatever floats your boat, will pretty much float ours too as long as it falls somewhere between interesting and amusing..
Over the many years of accumulated RP that are wedged under the staff's belts, we have found that a lot of the fun of role-playing comes from the simplicity of random interaction with fun people who don’t take things too seriously; whether this comes about through heavy plotting that may take weeks/months to pan out, or just from a fun, spur of the moment idea, it all comes down to one thing; character interaction. It's all about the people we have out there and their willingness to mess around and have a little fun rather than taking everything so damn seriously and fretting over fuck-ups when they could be making light of them.
Now, this doesn't mean that this will be an entirely pointless RP lacking plot and things to do, far from it, in fact..
By opening up as many angles of play as possible, we're hoping for the opposite. Some all round plotty goodness as well as the odd thread that might pop up and have you thinking "wtf? .. OK, I have to get in on that.."

::The Plot::
Well.. We don't really have one, per say.. lol.
The characters are starting off during Harry & Co.'s Fifth year; using canon events as a guideline but not to any strict measure when it comes to storyline.
We want this group to be an all-in kind of deal, so starting with no plot seems to be a good basis for that. Please feel free to offer up your suggestions as to a storyline on the whole, as the mods currently have a few ideas in mind but don't want to be telling you guys what to do from the get go - personally, we hate being told what to do, and we doubt you like it that much either. We want to make this group as interactive as possible, and yes, that means you get to help make the decisions rather than being dictated to and told off for not falling in line. There will be polls and discussions regarding the general direction of the group, so feel free to throw in your two cents (or ten), as such penny-chucking is always welcome.
