Marauder's Era AU
code by @Goldieloxx
This will be a slightly AU version of Hogwarts during the Marauder era. This is being set at the start of the rise of the Dark Lord. The part that makes is AU is playing with the age ranges of some of the canon characters a bit to ensure everyone can be relevant to the plot who wants to play a canon character. Original characters will also be allowed, but there will be a cap, and they can’t be related to canon characters, i.e. no sister to Sirus Black or cousin to James Potter’s. The ultimate goal is leading into the 1st wizarding war. I also want this to be AU because we don’t have to have the war end the same way it did in the books. Maybe Lord Voldemort wins? Maybe Peter doesn’t betray the Potters? The ending is up to us!
There will be events throughout the year of course to keep us entertained while the main plot unfolds.
- This will be a semi-advanced roleplay, meaning I require at least two paragraphs worth of writing per character. Posting speed requirements are a minimum of once per week. This goes for ALL of your characters if you decide to play multiple. I don’t want you to focus only on one, if you want multiple you need to care about multiple.
- All rpn rules apply. Please do not discriminate and keep all the drama to the actual roleplay. breaking any rule stated here will result in a warning first, and a repeat offence will result in the user being kicked from the roleplay as well as being reported.
- There are no role reservations. Only when you finish your character sheet completely will they be accepted and added to the roster.
- We will only be portraying characters in their fourth years and up. Allowed species include: werewolves, half-veelas, metamorphmagi, animagi. (But this will be limited for each)
- I recognize that some people are more comfortable playing certain genders and that’s ok, but I don’t want someone having three females throwing the balance off badly. I ask if you pick up multiple characters that by your third one (if the first two are the same) you make one of the opposite gender. Also for starters I don’t want anyone picking up more then 3 characters at the start. Once we get going it’ll be fine if you want more, but for starters let’s keep it casual.
- Once this get enough interest, i'll open the character sheet thread!
- Canon Age References:
- 7th years: Rodolphus Lestrange, Belletrix Black, Lucius Malfoy, Evan Roiser
- 6th years: Andromeda Black, Marauder, Ted Tonks, Lily Evans, Severus Snape
- 5th year: Narcissa Black, Rabastan Lestrange, Carrow twins, Regulus Black, Emma Vanity
- 4th year: Hestia Jones, Amelia Bones,
- Exceptions:
- There are many other charters who can fit into this era such as Mary McDonald, Dorcas Meadows, ect. but for roles like that I will allow you to choose which year you want them to be in. Just before they are in years 4-7 only.
- Original characters:
- Like stated in the guidelines you are free to create an original character so long as they are an original character, not related to any of the canon characters or a carbon copy of one.
- However this doesn’t mean you can’t have connections to canon characters. For example if you make an elite pureblood I wouldn’t doubt they would know the other elite pureblood families. So long as you have a reason for the connections, I don’t mind bonds.
- I just request that if it’s anything romantic, or something at effects the canon character, if that role is taken you must talk to them about it first! No one likes to be forced into plots.
- You are allowed 1 original character of course to start with, but after that you must take up a canon character before you create a second original.
- Balancing:
- I’d like to have a good amount in each house, not a rp full of nothing but Slytherin’s and Gryffindors. So if it starts to be too many applying as one house I will place a cap on it.
- This rule also apply for the gender ratio. I won’t make it to where it has to be exactly even, but 5 or 6 of anything with only 2 of the other is a bit much.
- Extra curricular:
- When I make the CS there will be a place for things like clubs, prefect, head’s and such. It will be a first come first serve with these to the accepted. Since this is an AU with quite a few characters who weren’t originally in school now together, no role is automatic.
