I will likely only put this into action if we can get at least three or four submitted profiles, not counting mine. We want to make sure this doesn’t quickly crash and burn.
This will function in a very sandbox manner, GM guidance will only come in once in a while to introduce some kind of special event or something like that. There really won’t be any kind of dramatic plot involved, we’re here to just have fun and enjoy the HP universe.
I want it clear due to the Rowling controversy. I DO NOT share Rowling’s… views… but I do enjoy the world she created. As has happened in the past… cough*Disney*cough... horrible people have made incredible things. We just have to separate the writer from the creation.
Plus, whatever I do not like that Rowling put in, I intend to toss out and replace with a ‘Monkeyfied’ improvement.
That said, this game is LGBTQ+ friendly. The original creator can kiss my monkey tooshie.
This will be set 50 years after the events of the books.
Questions I expect will be asked:
RULES:
Hogwarts University
After Hermione Granger joined the ministry after graduating from Hogwarts, she persuaded the necessary individuals to introduce university years to Hogwarts; A higher level of education with a focus on career, ranging from ministry work, auror lessons, magical medicine, the performing arts, cooking, just about anything a wizard or witch’s heart could ever wish to pursue. They got it all.
Our story begins 50 years after the defeat of Voldemort.
While some families still attempt to maintain a pure wizard bloodline, the prejudices against muggle borns has died down to practically non-existent and attacks against muggles and/or muggle born wizards/witches are treated with extreme contempt.
Hogwart is presently watched over by Headmaster August Kincaid and Deputy Headmaster Valentine Lexington.
Each Hogwarts house has their own common room and co-ed dorm wings. Each university student will have their own dorm room.
As a privilege of being grown adults, so long as devotion to ones education is observed through their grades and etc, university students do not receive many of the restrictions that younger students do: It is not prohibited for males and females to be in each others rooms, university students may visit Hogsmede whenever they should find themselves with down time, university students made also choose to stay in Hogsmede over the weekends.

Questions I expect will be asked:
- Can we play professors/teachers? Yes. I'll include a list for what has been snagged.
- Is there a posting order? No, there is not.
- Can we rp smut in the main thread? Yeah, just put the NSFW parts in spoiler, just in case other players don’t want to read it.
- Can we play canons or have canon relations? No, as stated in the rules, no one may play canons. You may be related to a canon, but absolutely no playing established canon characters.
- Must University students wear uniforms? The Hogwarts robe with their house emblem, yes… but the uniform itself? No, university students may wear whatever they like as long as it’s fairly tasteful.
- Must university students have roommates? No. There is a wing of the castle enchanted to accommodate all of the university students, enabling them to have their own room to themselves.
- What will happen if married university students are in attendance or university students get married while in attendance? The married couple will be moved to a slightly larger room to accommodate them.
- Are professors and university students forbidden from romantic relations? No, as adults, they may love who they wish, though as a precaution, professors are prevented from favoring a lover in classes by signing an enchanted agreement upon being employed. If they are guilty of doing this, their signature will turn red and they will be immediately terminated from employment at Hogwarts and the student will be given a truth serum. If the student knew this was happening and didn’t report it, they would be expelled. If they did not know, they would simply retake whatever test it was their professor lover unfairly graded.
- How many characters are we allowed? To start, one female student/professor and two male students/professors. Trans characters will be counted towards the gender they identify with and non-binary, you can choose which slot they'll consume. This is temporary and subject to change as the roster grows.
RULES:
- Site rules are to be respected at all times. Which will also means that Hogwarts High School and under students will not be making any appearances at all.
- Harassment of individuals with chaotic schedules will not be tolerated, not everyone has time to post every day.
- No meta-gaming. (Meta-gaming is having your character somehow know secrets and other things about another character that they couldn’t possibly logically know unless given this information by that character)
- No God-moding. (God-moding is the act of attempting to control what another individual’s character says or does in a scene, especially without consulting the other player to gain their permission)
- No non-con that has not been agreed upon by both players regarding the characters involved.
- If a player does not wish to engage in interactions or scenes with your character, please respect their wishes. Let’s maintain a fun and friendly environment where people feel comfortable.
- Let’s keep OOC drama down to a bare minimum. We’re all grown adults and we should conduct ourselves accordingly.
- Please use the header provided, it helps keep things neat and organized, especially when we’ll be keeping an entire week of in-game days open for a month in real time, you’ll find it much easier to keep track of everything.
- Make sure you let Missmonkey know if there is a faceclaim you wish to reserve and lockdown, I will get it listed for you at the bottom of this page. We do not accept anime or artwork.
- Lastly, please leave all profiles here in a spoiler marked with 'For Consideration' and I will review them all as soon as I possibly can.

Head: The head of Hogwarts is a vital role in overseeing the school. The head has final say on all serious matters such as hirings, firings and expulsions as well as many other aspects of management. In general, the role is highly respected by all students and teachers because it is unheard of for a head to be properly appointed and to not fit the role remarkably well. While they may be a slight worry for worse-behaved students the Head of Hogwarts is far from a draconian authority figure and more a caring, guiding protector. All heads of hogwarts have always taught a class, too.
Deputy Head: Second to the head, and sometimes a head of a house as well as a teacher in their own right the deputy head advises the head of the school and deals with matters slightly lower down the totem pole, often problem students who do not yet risk warranting expulsion. The deputy head also often helps and advises other teachers when necessary.
Head of House: Each house is headed by a teacher, almost always an alumnus of that house in their own day. The head of house sees to it that the students of that house give their all in classes, behave responsibly and uphold the good name of their house.
Grounds keeper: Responsible for the maintenance of the grounds of Hogwarts, a large area, this role often includes monitoring the forbidden forest, caring for magical creatures and ensuring that the exterior of Hogwarts is both resplendent and safe.
Caretaker: Much as the Grounds Keeper cares for the exterior of Hogwarts the caretaker takes on the task of keeping the interior clean and tidy. They often find themselves at odds with irresponsible and messy students.
Matron: While safety is paramount it is inevitable that injuries will occur and it falls to the matron to aid any and all students or teachers who fall ill or suffer injuries in Hogwarts. The role is invariably taken on by an expert in healing spells and potions.
Librarian: With so much studying for all students it is natural that the library of Hogwarts is vast and must be dilligently maintained. The books are always well-tracked and well looked after as many are completely unique and impossible to replicate due to ancient spells.
Professor: Those employed to teach the classes.

Head Boy/Girl: At any given time there is a single Head Boy and a single Head Girl, each chosen among the senior students of each year. They focus on overseeing the prefects, reporting wrongdoings and issues to teachers and helping to make sure the student body's voices are heard.
Prefect: There are always eight prefects from each house, two for each year of Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. Prefects report back on issues to the Head Boy and Girl and they are expected to help their classmates, to encourage excellence from their house and to set an example for other students.

WAND INFORMATION
Wood
Most wands are long, thin rods of wood with a magical substance embedded into their core.
Among the woods used are (according to Garrick Ollivander's notes):
Acacia:
A very unusual wand wood, which I have found creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but those most gifted.
Alder:
Alder is an unyielding wood, yet I have discovered that its ideal owner is not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable.
Apple
Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic.
Ash:
The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn.
Aspen:
Wand-quality aspen wood is white and fine-grained, and highly prized by all wand-makers for its stylish resemblance to ivory and its usually outstanding charmwork.
Beech:
The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant.
Blackthorn:
Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior.
Black Walnut:
Less common than the standard walnut wand, that of black walnut seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master.
Cedar:
Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception.
Cherry:
This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.
Chestnut:
This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it.
Cypress:
Cypress wands are associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death.
Dogwood:
I have found that matching a dogwood wand with its ideal owner is always entertaining. Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun.
Ebony:
This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration.
English oak:
A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity.
Elder:
The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, the elder wand is trickier to master than any other. It contains powerful magic, but scorns to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep the elder wand for any length of time.
Elm:
The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns.
Fir:
My august grandfather, Gerbold Octavius Ollivander, always called wands of this wood ‘the survivor’s wand,’ because he had sold it to three wizards who subsequently passed through mortal peril unscathed.
Hawthorn:
The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’
Hazel:
A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings.
Holly:
Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity.
Hornbeam:
Hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession (though I prefer the term ‘vision’), which will almost always be realised.
Larch:
Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood. Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply.
Laurel:
It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic.
Maple:
I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre.
Pear:
This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in my experience, usually popular and well-respected.
Pine:
The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells.
Poplar:
"If you seek integrity, search first among the poplars". Here is a wand to rely upon, of consistency, strength and uniform power, always happiest when working with a witch or wizard of clear moral vision.
Red Oak:
You will often hear the ignorant say that red oak is an infallible sign of its owner’s hot temper. In fact, the true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect duelling wand.
Redwood:
Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner.
Rosewood:
Rosewood wands are quite rare. They are not very compatible with Dark magic as this wood represents love and purity. Rosewood wands are known to excel in love spells and healing magic.
Rowan:
Rowan wood has always been much-favoured for wands, because it is reputed to be more protective than any other, and in my experience renders all manner of defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break.
Silver lime:
This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was greatly in vogue in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime.
Spruce:
Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude. It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers.
Sycamore:
The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored'.
Vine:
Vine wands are among the less common types, and I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best.
Walnut:
Highly intelligent witches and wizards ought to be offered a walnut wand for trial first, because in nine cases out of ten, the two will find in each other their ideal mate.
Willow:
Willow is an uncommon wand wood with healing power, and I have noted that the ideal owner for a willow wand often has some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they may try and hide it.
Yew:
Yew wands are among the rarer kinds, and their ideal matches are likewise unusual, and occasionally notorious. The wand of yew is reputed to endow its possessor with the power of life and death.
Most wands are long, thin rods of wood with a magical substance embedded into their core.
Among the woods used are (according to Garrick Ollivander's notes):
Acacia:

Cores
Most wands made by Garrick Ollivander contain one of the three supreme core types, but there are others.
Among the substances used are (according to Garrick Ollivander's notes):
Unicorn hair:
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.
Dragon heartstring:
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts , though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
Phoenix feather:
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
Veela hair:
The wandmaker Garrick Ollivander mentioned that he did not use Veela hair because it made for "temperamental" wands.
Thestral tail hair:
This core type is regarded as an unstable, if not difficult substance to use in wand making.
Troll whisker:
Troll whiskers is considered an inferior substance to Garrick Ollivander's three Supreme Cores.
Kelpie hair:
Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair...
Thunderbird tail feather:
The tail feather of the Thunderbird was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Shikoba Wolfe. Wolfe's wands were powerful but difficult to master, and were good for transfiguration work.
Wampus cat hair:
The hair of the Wampus cat was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Johannes Jonker. Jonker experimented with many other cores before settling on the hair of this creature as his preferred kind. The core was also used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they begun making their own wands in the 17th century.
White River Monster spine:
This wand core was used by Thiago Quintana. Whit River Monster spines produce spells of force and elegance.
Rougarou hair:
The hair of the rougarou was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Violetta Beauvais. Rougarou hair was rumoured to have an affinity for Dark magic, like vampires to blood.
Kneazle whiskers:
This is a rarely used wand core and is most likely considered a substandard core type.
Horned Serpent horn:
This wand core was used by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founders Isolt Sayre. The wands made from this core were exceptional powerful. They were also sensitive to Parseltongue and warn its owner of danger by emitting a low musical tone.
Snallygaster heartstring:
The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.
Jackalope antler:
The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.
Basilisk horn:
Only one wand is known to have used this core. It was made by Salazar Slytherin for a wand of his own making.
Most wands made by Garrick Ollivander contain one of the three supreme core types, but there are others.
Among the substances used are (according to Garrick Ollivander's notes):
Unicorn hair:

Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
Veela hair:
The wandmaker Garrick Ollivander mentioned that he did not use Veela hair because it made for "temperamental" wands.
Thestral tail hair:
This core type is regarded as an unstable, if not difficult substance to use in wand making.
Troll whisker:
Troll whiskers is considered an inferior substance to Garrick Ollivander's three Supreme Cores.
Kelpie hair:
Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair...
Thunderbird tail feather:
The tail feather of the Thunderbird was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Shikoba Wolfe. Wolfe's wands were powerful but difficult to master, and were good for transfiguration work.
Wampus cat hair:
The hair of the Wampus cat was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Johannes Jonker. Jonker experimented with many other cores before settling on the hair of this creature as his preferred kind. The core was also used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they begun making their own wands in the 17th century.
White River Monster spine:
This wand core was used by Thiago Quintana. Whit River Monster spines produce spells of force and elegance.
Rougarou hair:
The hair of the rougarou was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Violetta Beauvais. Rougarou hair was rumoured to have an affinity for Dark magic, like vampires to blood.
Kneazle whiskers:
This is a rarely used wand core and is most likely considered a substandard core type.
Horned Serpent horn:
This wand core was used by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founders Isolt Sayre. The wands made from this core were exceptional powerful. They were also sensitive to Parseltongue and warn its owner of danger by emitting a low musical tone.
Snallygaster heartstring:
The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.
Jackalope antler:
The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.
Basilisk horn:
Only one wand is known to have used this core. It was made by Salazar Slytherin for a wand of his own making.
Flexibility and Length
Most wands are between 9 - 14 inches long. Shorter wands (8 inches or less) and longer wands (15 inches or greater) do exist, but are extremely rare.
Typically, a wand is fit to the witch or wizard who intends to use it, based on his or her physical frame. However, there are other factors to consider than simple measurements. Longer wands may be ideal for a taller individual, but tend to fit with big personalities and a caster who has a preference for more theatrical style magic. Abnormally short wands, however, may be drawn to a person who is somehow inadequate in one way or another, rather than linking to a caster because they are physically petite. Neater wands have a preference toward poised and polished casting. It is important to note that no one factor in the composition of a wand is what makes it distinguishable, by itself, to the witch or wizard who seeks to use it.
The flexibility or rigidity of a wand speaks to its compliance or aversion to changing masters entirely, or temporarily relinquishing possession. Although, as stated, this single factor should not be isolated from the other components of a wand, nor the owner's magical experience and specific style of magic. All of these traits make each wand one-of-a-kind.
Examples of Flexibilities include: Very flexible, Quite flexible, Surprisingly Swishy, Quite Bendy, Fairly Bendy, Whippy, Pliant, Supple, Reasonably Supple, Slightly Springy, Slightly Yielding, Solid, Stiff, Hard, Rigid, Unbending, Unyielding, Brittle
