Message: <blockquote data-quote="d2OKC" data-source="post: 5885266" data-attributes="member: 97351">I mentioned this in the above post, but I kind of wanted to say something specific to this idea, so apologies for the double post, ENWorld! So, the original party was: Level 2 WizardLevel 2 SorcererLevel 2 SwordmageLevel 2 BardLevel 2 Warlock I had the idea of making each of these characters completely. Like, name, background, everything, and just summarizing their seven years in school so the player would know what kind of character they're playing. These were my ideas: Hazel Etchingham, Level 2 female human Wizard from Gryffindor. Pretty typical Gryffindor, except she just wasn't ever great at magic. Comes from a long line of witches and wizards and never quite lived up to her family's name. Barely got by with the marks to be an auror. During her fourth year (the same year as the Triwizard Tournament) she got lost in the Room of Requirement and since has a fear of disorientation and being lost. Her patronus is a wolf. Melora Finn Level 2 female human Sorcerer from Ravenclaw. Melora is often boasted as one of the best keepers the Ravenclaw team ever had. She is a natural athelete, though she is also a muggle born. She coasted through most of her classes, and easily got a job with the Ministry. Wanted to be an auror to dedicate her life to the protection of muggles like her family. Her patronus is a dragon. Skragg Level 2 male half-giant swordmage from Durmstrang. Skragg grew up in eastern Europe and was recruited to Durmstrang with the hopes that he would learn magic and could compete in the Triwizard Tournament. His physical gifts should have given him a large advantage, but his magic never really came around. Still, he learned the art of swordplay easily, and the aurors were in need of any kind of help they could get after the Second Wizarding War. His patronus is a bear. Aurore Petit Level 2 female half-veela bard from Hufflepuff. Aurore started her schooling at Beauxbatons, but decided to stay at Hogwarts after spending a term there as an exchange student. She was placed in Hufflepuff, and never quite felt like she fit in at the school. Still, she was a natural leader among her house, and when she finished the aurors immediately offered her a job for her healing abilities alone. She also had a job offer from St. Mungos, which she seriously considered taking. Her patronus is a badger. Dominic Diamond Level 2 male human warlock from Slytherin. Dominic, like a lot of his Slytherin mates, grew up with wealth. He also learned he had a natural inclination for the Dark Arts, and during school, he surreptitiously practiced them when he found some time to do so. However, shortly after the Second Wizarding War began, his parents, who were secretly Death Eaters, were killed by the Dark Lord in a moment of rage. This caused Dominic to reconsider his allegiances, and he decided to use his knowledge of the Dark Arts to help the Ministry track down their users and became an auror. His patronus is a scorpion. Now, the last one I thought was particularly fun, and it was a good way to fit a warlock into the story. What I'm thinking now, is that I'll still make the characters. And, instead of making five, I'll make six and let them choose, and one of those characters will just be left out. They should still be fine, combat-wise if they leave out any of the characters, and it gives just one more choice. So, here's kind of what I'm thinking: Angus Atchley Level 2 male human Artificer from Ravenclaw. Angus is fascinated by muggle technology. He grew up in a wizarding house nearby a muggle school, and often longingly wished he could attend there instead of Hogwarts. When he learned of Melora Finn's background, he quickly made friends with her to absorb anything he could about her previous life with the muggles. He now constantly attempts to build contraptions and devices inspired by muggle technology, but never can quite seem to get it right without using a bit of magic as well. His patronus is a clockwork wasp. I'd like to find more ways to connect the characters to each other from their time at school. I'll work on that. Are these characters you all would want to play? Would it be better to just let them come up with their own, even though they've never tried to do it before? Again, thanks. Can't say that enough. ***** ALSO: Just thought about this. It wouldn't exactly fit, but a druid could work for an animagus. Or a shifter for a werewolf or something. Might have to consider those as I prepare.</blockquote>
