Westwayde School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
SYOC
Premise: While Voldemort was wreaking havoc on the European wizarding world, the North American wizarding world was virtually left alone. Years after the war, a pureblood student becomes very interested in the ways of The Dark Lord.
Rules for Submission:
I'll be accepting an even amount of girls and boys.
I want villains and heroes alike, not all characters can be good.
Limit of two characters per author - they cannot be related in any way shape or form! No siblings, no cousins, they can't know each other!
Be creative and make your character interesting I don't want loners who don't talk to people and don't do anything - where's the fun in that? Make them dynamic, and make them stand out.
No pictures in your application.
Send through PM with your character's name in the heading.
All characters should be 4th year or higher.
Follow the story if you're interested and serious - if you think I'm going to PM all of you telling you if your character's in or not, you're delusional.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask - THROUGH PM. I won't be checking reviews throughout the application process.
Fill out the entire form (I got lazy and didn't do examples of dialogue, but I know how my character speaks). Also, make your examples of dialogue good, 9 times out of 10 I find them more useful than the personality section.
Only the best characters will be selected, this is based on quality, not first come first serve.
Format your form like I did mine, if you read all of this, put the name of your favourite Harry Potter character at the bottom of your form.
I think that's it, the application will be on my profile and my example will be below. If you want any part of your application to be kept secret, just let me know. I will be posting the accepted characters (names, years, personality, strengths/weaknesses) so you can generate friends, love interests, etc.
My Example:
Full Name: Caris Hope Lawrence
Age/Year: 14/4
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: Caris is shorter than most of the girls her age, with a slim build and very little curves. She has wavy strawberry blonde hair that reaches just a bid past her shoulders with side swept bangs. Her complexion is fair, almost pale with bright green eyes.
Personality: Caris has a big personality, and is considered by most to be little bossy (put nicely). She likes to have everything orderly, and can't stand when things don't go according to her plans. She's willful and stubborn, and will rarely back down from a fight - only when it turns physical. She's determined to get what she wants, and will fight to the end until she gets her way - or what's right. She's known to be a bit of a loud mouth, and to go on long winded rants, normally when defending herself or someone else. Despite her strong personality, Caris is full of insecurities, frequently thinking that she's not as pretty as the other girls, she also wonders if she really deserves to be there, since she's only half magic (which more comes into play after the anti-mudblood plot takes affect). She hides her insecurities through her strong personality, and when/if bullied will pretend that it doesn't bother her.
Blood Status: Muggle-born.
Opinion of Muggles/Muggle Borns: N/A she is one.
Place of Origin (hometown): Toronto, Canada
Family Life (only include important members): Richard Lawrence: her father and a muggle lawyer. He's very close with his daughter and was surprised when she was invited to attend Westwayde, but after thought and consideration gave in.
Olivia Lawrence: Her mother and a muggle secretary, she doesn't like the idea of her daughter being witch, and never wanted to send her away to school. But ultimately gave in, knowing it was the best decision for her.
Has siblings, but I'm not going to bother including them.
Best Subject: Charms
Worst Subject: Herbology
Strengths: She's great with charms, and excels at potions as well. She's very studious, and does well in all of her courses.
Weaknesses: Physically not strong, she's very insecure and often unsure of herself - despite constant praise from her professors. Her abrasive attitude can scare off most friends, and boys, but she knows her core group of friends have her back no matter what. At times she can be too trusting of others, and takes everything at face value, making her easy to take advantage of.
Pet: A great horned owl.
Quidditch? (if yes position): Seeker
Examples of Dialogue (3):
Anything I Missed? (ie prefect, top student, etc): She's not top student (but she's up there, second or third) or a prefect or anything of the sort.
