Alias: Ewan, Zwitterion (depending on the place)
Age:  18
Gender: Male

Personality: Well, this is actually kind of weird for me to write. I feel like I'm making a character based on myself! x) Well, anyway. I'm friendly, I'm always willing to chat and I love writing. I'd love to find someone who's interested in all sorts of plots, and I'm particularly interested in plotting about magical theory, writing and also politics (in the context of the HP world, although real-world politics is interesting too). I love learning, and I also like a very wide range of artists and musicians. Genres include power metal, altrock, dance music, pop, powerpop, britpop, country... I like pretty much everything.

About Me: Like I said above, I'm eighteen, interested in politics and writing. I also really love science, with biology being my particular interest. I'm a fan of languages (in fact I intend to study French at university [along with biology <and did I mention that I absolutely love proper nesting?>]), too. My favourite book is probably The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins, although his latest might be eclipsing that one. Another book I really enjoyed was Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Utterly gripping. I'm writing a Victorian Britain-inspired steampunkish fantasy novel at the moment, which for some reason slides into a bit of Lovecraftian horror towards the end.

Do you like to use messengers? Not for roleplaying, although I do use Windows Live Messenger and Skype for non-RP purposes!

How long have you been roleplaying? I think it's about seven years, roughly.

What boards have you played on in the past? Many, although most are now defunct. I've also roleplayed using IRC. Currently I'm a member of Iron Butterfly, which is a Greek mythology inspired mafia RP and I run Stonewall Institute, a post-Potter RP.



How often do you generally post?: I post pretty much daily, although that can stretch to 'once every three days' if I get very busy.

How much do you generally post? It varies depending on the person and the post. I typically get 250 to 450 words, although I have made posts into the 800+ range in the past.

Do you like to write in 1st person or 3rd person? Always third person.

Who are your favorite PB's? I don't really have any, although I have reused Larissa Meek a few times now.

What PB's do you hate? None, really, although Disney PBs can get to be annoying after a while.

What type of characters do you like to play? It varies depending on the game. One of my current characters is just a fifteen year old wizard who's gay and kind of all teenagery (we've all been there!), and another is a kind of unstable headmistress ex-criminal who's writing a book on transfiguration. Another of my current characters is the god Dionysus who is currently possessing the body of a mortal man and, at the same time, working for the Irish mafia (which is run by Hades).

What are your favorite genres? I typically only play HP, although if something arouses my interest I will venture outside. I've recently joined an RL site (that sadly died :() and like I mentioned already, I'm a member of a Greek mythology-inspired mafia game. 'Fantasy', I guess?

What genres do you hate? I can't think of anything I actively dislike.

What rating of a board do you like to play on? PG-13+
How do you feel about writing out graphic scenes such as violence, drug use, and sex? I can deal with violence and drug use, but I'm not sure how well I could write a sex scene.

What type of plots do you like? I'm up for anything here, really. I'll play out enemies, I'll play out vast, epic loves spanning decades – whatever, as long as it impacts my character in some way.

What type of plots do you dislike? I've yet to come across one I've disliked, really.

What are some plots that you'd like to play out with someone? Well, I currently have five characters. Three of them I'm pretty happy with as they are, but for two I'd quite like to play out certain scenarios. For one character, Angela Gladstone, I have two ideas:

1)Angela has lots of friends. She's a social butterfly obsessed with one day becoming Minister for Magic. She's also got lots of enemies. I was thinking that perhaps someone she doesn't get on with at all could perhaps become her friend or love interest after a while of love/hate interactions?
2)Angela has a keen political mind and is dead set on becoming a politician. I was thinking that perhaps she could have a friend (or perhaps not 'friend' but 'rival') with different politics. I think it could be quite interesting to see the interaction between two people with similar interests but different politics and opinions.

I'm mostly looking for someone to play with Angela, but I'm open to playing with any of my characters if anyone's interested. I think I'm honestly more interested in the latter of my two ideas, although on reflection they could kind of merge into one thing.

Are you willing to join a new board with someone? I'd really rather not, because I'm running my own game and I'm already a member at another place.
Are you interested in creating a new board with someone? See above.
What board skills do you have? I can kind of maybe skin things? My CSS is basic but it got the job done.
What board software/host do you prefer? I'm open, although I dislike proboards.
Are you willing to roleplay over messengers? No.





Name: Angela May Gladstone
Age: Sixteen
Playby: Camilla Belle
General Personality: The following is lifted directly from her profile:

Angela is a tough cookie who is completely and utterly unafraid of doing exactly what needs to be done to achieve her purpose. This has led her to being somewhat ethically flexible, and since transferring to Stonewall she has adopted a kind of 'the end justifies the means' attitude. This has concerned her parents who have always tried to teach her to do the right thing. This has resulted in her current hate-hate situation with ______ Mayfair, _____ Li and _____ Quinn. She stepped over the three of them to assert herself as the Queen of her year group, and it is something that they have never quite forgiven.

Due to her friendly and out-going nature, Angela has managed to amass quite the friendship group, although it resembles something more of a 'hive' than a 'friendship group' with Angela seated at its head as the queen bee. She is manipulative and too-charming, and she is quick to defend what she sees as an attack on her position. Her outwardly friendly persona is mostly a mask, and her main enjoyment in social interaction is establishing herself at the head of any group she comes across. Her manner is a typically masculine one: she interrupts others often, dominates conversation and is confident and assertive. She uses her wit to put others down and is unconcerned with their feelings.

Angela is a very intelligent girl, and she really loves books and learning and knowledge. It was the reason she was Sorted into both Wentworth and Ravenclaw, and it remains important to her. She is more than a pretty face, and she wants people to know it. She knows what to say and when to say it and can spin a situation in her own favour. She is above all a consummate politician – image-obsessed, canny and rarely truthful.
General History: Angela's past is kind of run-of-the-mill and not very interesting. She had a very pleasant but totally ordinary life before learning that she was a witch – she went to school, she had friends and she was generally a happy little girl. Her parents were fairly well-off and so money was never really an issue. Her life became far more interesting when she received her Hogwarts letter, however. She was Sorted into Ravenclaw, which was unsurprising given her love of learning and books.

It quickly became apparent that Angela was something of a social butterfly. She made many friends and made them very quickly, but her sarcastic and biting wit made enemies out of her victims. Her life was changed just prior to her third year, when her mother accepted a new job in Canada and the whole family was uprooted.

Angela considers this particular event to be highly traumatic and refused to speak to her parents for a month after the event. She was enrolled into Stonewall upon moving, and after a while she became used to the idea. The Sorting Orb Sorted Angela into Wentworth. She was pleased to learn that Wentworth was somewhat like Ravenclaw, at least in that they valued intelligence, and was incredibly glad when she found that the House valued charisma – as a budding socialite she had buckets of the stuff.

It wasn't all gumdrops and roses, though, because in order to get to the top she had to stamp on several of her peers – Mayfair, Li and Quinn in particular are fifth years she humiliated to assert herself as someone dangerous.
How long have you had this character? Three days, give or take, although the idea has been rolling around my head since February.



Name: Elizabeth Jane Darling
Age: 37
Playby: Larissa Meek
General Personality: This is lifted from her profile:

Elizabeth is a polite, hard-working woman of a charming disposition. At least, that’s the image she presents to anyone important: her parents, old school friends, Ministry officials and the like. In truth she is a complete terror: she is demanding and impatient and has a sense of entitlement that could hardly be rivalled.

Elizabeth is a rebel at heart and she doesn’t want anything that her parents wanted for her: Cambridge education, perhaps a part-time job to occupy her time when her darling husband and children were at work and school respectively and a boring, mundane existence as a muggle housewife. She is a risk-taker but, at the same time, she thinks things through beforehand. She is often bemused at the fact she is the headmistress of a failing school but circumstances are circumstances.

Liz has a strong thrill-seeking streak and she is something of a control freak – which can be dismaying, at times, since the very thrill she seeks is often completely out of her control.

Liz is commanding and confident with a sparkling personality and a morbid sense of humour and is a woman who has a love of travel – as her almost endless globe-trotting shows.

She has a wish, however, for an easier life – travel without business, conversation without business and even sex without business.

She is a strong believer in independence, and whenever she presents a new topic to her students she makes them practise along before she offers any help. She is not unnecessarily harsh or cruel, but she is a stern task-master who only wants to see the best from her students.
General History: Elizabeth was born to Alistair Charles Darling and his lovely wife, Charlotte Marie Darling in 1975. As a pair of Sloanes, Liz’s parents expected her, of course, to attend a good, public boarding school to graduate with average to good A-level results and then attend Cambridge or another prestigious institution.

Their dreams were dashed just weeks before Elizabeth’s twelfth birthday where she received a letter – borne by owl, no less – claiming that she had somehow been born with magical powers and that she was a witch.

It didn’t go over very well with Mr and Mrs Darling, who wanted their Darling daughter to become something of a Sloane Ranger such as themselves. Still, after the whole issue was smoothed over by a liaison from the school – which was, the Darlings soon found out, considered one of the best in the world – they were receptive to, if not delighted with, the idea of their daughter attending Hogwarts and training her magic.

Elizabeth was Sorted into Slytherin due to her ambitious streak and ruthless cunning and she passed through school with little difficulty, receiving straight Os in both her OWLs and her NEWTs due to her ambition to be the best, to be seen.

During the beginning of her career at Hogwarts she found that some of the Pureblooded Slytherins in her year looked down upon her because of her muggle ancestry. As she progressed through the school this became less of an issue because of her ability to smuggle liquor and marijuana into the school. Her illegal activities passed under the radar of the professors because of her polite, hard-working and charming demeanour whilst in their collective presence – she was careful not to step a toe out of line, and this set the scene for much of her future.

Upon graduation it was expected that she would join the Ministry as an Unspeakable but, to everyone’s surprise (including her parents’, who assumed that she would still attend Cambridge as they planned) she did apparently nothing with her life, preferring to travel the world using her parents’ money. However, unbeknownst to her parents, Liz was living under the tutelage of Anton, a Russian drug lord responsible for much of Britain's supply of doxy powder.

An incident in Colombia shook her confidence somewhat, but after dispatching of the men involved using creative and inspired transfigurations, she felt able to continue with running the American branch of Anton's operation.

Liz found herself staying more and more in the town of Stonewall, Canada. She was courted by the headmaster of the local school and, after a while, she was offered the job of teaching transfiguration at the ailing school. She took the job, mostly to satisfy her own curiosity about teaching and to give herself a legitimate job if anyone should ask about what she did. Her parents were thrilled, because for about a year they hadn't been sending her any money. This occurred in 1994.

At age 19, Liz decided to cut back her criminal activities to mostly during the summer; Anton was somewhat displeased but accepted her decision, provided that she would continue to work for him in a diminished capacity. Liz made quick enemies with Sunflower Makepeace, another new teacher at the school.

Liz's 'extra-curricular' work for Anton kept her busy for about six years, until she decided to remove herself almost entirely from the 'game'. Anton was surprisingly good about it, and Liz continues to visit him during the summers to this day, as well as providing occasional work.

In 2006 Liz was made headmistress, only because the other professors had no desire to take the post. She made fast friends with Isidora Fee upon Izzy's appointment as the defence against the dark arts professor, and it is a friendship that has only gotten stronger with age.
How long have you had this character? Since 2007, although in this particular form she's only existed since February. She's been a successful criminal overlord before, as well as a Muggleborn accountant who was never allowed to discover her magical powers until she was thrown into a situation where her magic came to the fore.



In this scene, Angela is answering her teacher, Elizabeth Darling's, question, and also asking about her boots. It highlights a contrast in Angela's personality: on the one hand she is an intelligent young woman who wants to go into politics, but on the other hand she's a teenage girl really into fashion. The thread itself is a transfiguration lesson on conjuring charms. 358 words.

How do you want to be contacted? PM here, and then via WLM or Skype after that. Or possibly a reply in this thread!

Anything else? Nothing, really. I think I covered it all.

I'm still looking for a partner! Like I said, I'm primarily interested in the Angela Gladstone character, but any of my five characters would be good, too!

I'm definitely looking for someone who's interested in some RP! If you want I can give you details on all of my characters, just ask!
