The Character Application is your first step in creating your character. You are allowed to create an Original Character or take on a Site Canon or Canon Character. Please read over the following guidelines about creating your character. If you have any questions and/or concerns please feel free to PM the Head Admin.
- When you are ready to post your application, please copy and paste the following codes at the bottom into a separate thread in the Pending Applications board. The subject of your post should be your character's full name (Example: Arthur Weasley). Be sure to use the correct code (there is one code for Original Characters and another for Site Canon Characters and Canon Characters).
- We are not accepting any wizards or witches from any location outside of America unless authorized by the Head Admin. Be aware that this site takes place exclusively in America and locations like Hogwarts and London will not be playable.
- When creating your application, you may use Harry Potter wiki or the Harry Potter Lexicon but you are not permitted to plagiarize your application; this will be checked and you will be forced to redo your application.
- If you want to take on a Canon Character or a Site Canon Character, available characters can be found at the Canon Character List and the Site Canon Character List.
- After making your character, please go to the following boards for additional information about adding attributes to your character:
- Private Estate Request
- Character Plotting
- Character Ability Request
Information for the Character Application
Character Name: This is for all characters. Your character must have a full name; that means a first and a last name (a middle name is optional).
Date of Birth (Age): This is for all characters. Your character must have a date of birth. This site takes place in December 1926, so please do your calculations in accordance with that year. Also, please add in the actual age of your character.
Species: This is for all characters. You may make a wizard, witch, veela, vampire, house elf, or goblin at the site. Any other species are prohibited and all canon characteristics for that species must be followed.
Education: This is for all characters. Your wizard character has to have gone to school. If you are a student, just put your House and class year. We recognize only canon schools.
Wand: This is for all characters. Describe your wand. All wands must abide by the FAQ on Wands. This can be posted on your profile (edit your Profile, the Wand area is under the Personal tab). 1st Year students at Ilvermorny do not have a wand prior to attending school; they receive them during the Wand Ceremony.
Personality: This is for all characters. For this section, describe how your character thinks. Be thorough with your character's personality. Please try not to create contradictions with your character (Ex. Peter Paul is a muggleborn who supports Voldemort). List the likes and dislikes of your character; this gives those who read this a chance to understand how your character might react to certain things.
Skills: This is for all characters. Include all skills that your character has. Please be aware that if your skills are too incredible, the Head Admin reserves the right to make you tone your character's skills down. If you are ensure of a skill, please PM the Head Admin.
Appearance: This is for an Original Character only. It is recommended that you get a face (celebrity) to represent your character's appearance. Do not post a picture of the celebrity, your character is not that celebrity, they only look similar. Make sure you have put your claim in at the Face Claim.
Family Members: This is for all characters. List all of your character's immediate family. You may add in additional family.
Blood Status: This is for all characters. Please add your character's blood status. This can be posted on your profile (edit your Profile, the Blood Status area is under the Personal tab). If your character is a muggle/no-maj then you list that here.
Character History: This is for all characters. Your character must have a past, include your character's family, bloodline, and what your character did before the current time frame. Please be original, not every one is an orphan. Please make your history as detailed as possible. If you need help, feel free to ask for advice from any of the site members. Do not add in canon character relationships; you may develop a relationship with them but it must be developed at the site and not stated before hand (unless you are playing a canon character).
Code Phrase: This is for all characters. To make sure you read the rules for this site, you need to find the password hidden within the Site Rules. If you post it in your application that means you have read and understood the rules we have at this site. There will be two parts to the code phrase.
Player Account: This is for all characters. Just put the name of your Player Account. All members must have a Player Account in addition to Character Account (the playing character).
RP Sample: This is for a Canon Character only. Please provide a quick sample RP for your character that will be used to determine if you should play a Canon Character.
