 | 06:17 pm - So Then This Happened
In lieu of making a third new character I'm porting over some old characters and bringing back a retiree (because let's be honest, I've been playing her more here than anywhere else; it's like she was never really gone). I've been keen to play more in St. George's and the surrounding area with the adults/alumni. There's one more that might come over after this batch, but I'm going to cool my heels a little bit.
The Ford Family Proper: Abby Ford you all know. She's sometimes pretending to be Bernadine. Sometimes she's herself. Depends on the situation (I'll be posting with her from this journal from now on, until I decide I've confused myself again). Her brother you've probably met. His name is Timmy Ford and he's a really excellent squib. Her dad you probably haven't met, but you may have read about him. His name is Bill Ford and he's got a whole lot of secrets and baggage that I'm aching to explore. He's a cool guy and he might be seen around campus or at the pub with James Walsh. Then there's Abby's Aunt Veruca Kidd. At the moment she has her head shoved up Bill's ass. It'll probably stay there, but I'll try to rectify that and get her some friends. Or something.
The other de Kooning boy: You may have read about Valentin de Kooning, Stasi's older brother. Well, I'm letting him loose here. He may end up teaching at Dresden, though I'm not entirely sure he's qualified for it.
The Nikitin bitch: Then there's Elena Nikitin, Luka's older sister. She's a cantankorous bitch and a lawyer for the NY Wizengamot, so if you end up in need of counsel, she'll serve all your needs. Not entirely sure what to do with her, but she might end up settling down on the Way.
The boyfriend: and then there's my little muggle mailman Jesus Suarez. He made a stop in during parent's weekend. He's Addy's brother's boyfriend and he's spectacular.
If you think you have any connections with any of the gang feel free to comment here so we can remember later when it's 3 o'clock in the morning and our heads aren't screwed on correctly about who knows who and who banged who and who knows about that nonsense. :D

 | 09:03 pm - SASSYBUTT LAZYPANTS INTRODUCES...
TINA.
Christina (Tina) French is a Hudson senior, cheerleader, into earthy kind of subjects (herbology, enviromental studies etc). She does ballet and is in dance and pride clubs (she's an out-ish lesbian) and moonlights in choir. You'll find her being quiet and friendly and trying v hard to be supportive of all you self-destructing lunatics as best she can.
Your kids will know her from senior core classes, Advanced Herbology II, Art and Environment Studies, and Dance, Cheerleading, Pride and Choir. Hit me up for friends/acquaintances/past attempted (or even semi-serious) S.O.s, the works!

 | 10:03 am - Sighard Wieland Valemont
I really have a problem. Did I tell you they come in threes?
Let me introduce you to Sighard (usually called Sig or Siggy, sometimes referred to as Valemont which ends in someone shedding blood or serving detention).
He's a Champlain junior, very smart and somewhat worldly. His claim to fame is that his dad is a well-known vampire and for the first two and a half years at Dresden he went by his mother's maiden name before admitting whose child he was. Since then he hasn't had it terribly easy (lots of his early friends ditched him after the reveal), but he's figured out who he is and who is valuable to him since then.
Originally from Germany, he's been in America so long you'd never know it. He's crazy smart and he loves a good (if pointless and even stupid) adventure (especially if it's ill advised).
He's taking ADV Potions I, Transfig I and Herb I (thinking about becoming a mediwizard if he continues to do well) as well as Divination II, Music, and Lit I. He's in the chess club, intramural sports, school paper, honor society, and he plays the sax in the school orchestra.
We're looking for friends and ex-friends. Sig spent too much time worrying about getting his friends back to be chasing around S.O.s, though that could certainly change now.

 | 05:50 am - Marina
I should probably introduce Marina Beauchamps. She's kind of fabulous.
She's an out and proud bisexual with pink/purple hair. She's on the cheerleading squad, does drama, art, and orchestra. She's taking Language Arts II, Magical Crafting, Cultural Magic, Ritual Magic. Advanced Herbology I.
She's a Hulett junior, bit of a drama queen, very protective of her younger brother. Her parents died 3 years ago in a car accident while she and her brother were in the backseat; she doesn't talk about it much. She's brave and usually a very happy sort of person. Bit of a creole accent. Always carries a rosary on her person.
She's looking for friends, enemies, frenemies, and maybe a secret lover.

kazamir
 | 09:10 pm - Kazamir de Kooning
Hello, Joey here!
I tried playing Kazamir (and some others) previously but was too overwhelmed with other things going on to play in Dresden. Fortunately, I am back and anxious to get back into Kazamir's perverted head again. I will be playing him as if he has been at Dresden for quite some time now but is just now popping up more publicly due to his older brother, Anastas, transferring to Dresden. Kazamir and Anastas do not get along whatsoever and it will come at no surprise (to Carol and I, at least) if the two go at each other whenever they get the chance. Kazamir is fluent in Russian and English (unlike his stuck up, lazy brother) and enjoys avoiding most of the student body at Dresden, drinking whiskey, masturbating to the thought of Professor Olivier (and her radical legs), playing FMK with Addy, pretending his roommate doesn't exist, and being smarter than you. He will be taking Astronomy, Charms and Wandwork, DADA, Spell Theory, Advanced Transfiguration I, Advanced Potions I, Advanced Herbology I, and Apparation Study this semester and any plot ideas with Kooky Kaz are welcome.

anastas
 | 08:36 am - Not the Boy He Used to Be
This is Anastas. Some people call him Stasi. Some Stas.
He used to be a troublesome party boy looking to self destruct. And then he did self destruct, back at his old school. He OD'd over spring break and never finished his senior year. He's been taking some time to recover, living with his older brother in Burnham and re-learning English (one of the side effects of his month long coma was forgetting the language altogether).
He's doing better overall, but he's still got a lot of sorting out to do. He'll be brand new to Dresden, but he might know your students if they went to Blue Ridge at some point.
He's going to be sorted into Hudson; he'll be taking up with the art club, the school paper, and cooking club. He's taking DADA, Astronomy, Wandless, Adv. Transfig II, Adv. Potions II, Combative Magic, and Art.

This is Carly.
She's a university student studying Charms with Olivier. She TA's for sixth year. She's the gossip queen on campus, something of a righteous bitch, and obsessed with all things Hawthorne Nikitin (also hell bent on destroying any of his girlfriends, past or present).
She doesn't really have friends, only just some people she won't gossip about. We're up for just about anything.

atotheb
 | 07:46 am - Hi!
This is Bernadine. Not Abernathy. The twins hatched a plot to switch places and Bernadine is now studying at Dresden with Mother Criss in the university program.
To avoid confusion I'm using ![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/userinfo.gif) atotheb for Bernadine and I've flocked Abby's entries in runningamok (since she's somewhat officially no longer in the game).
Basically Bernadine is going to pretend to be Abby while she's at school. Which leaves us open to all sorts of intrigue, though only Adelaide, Mother Criss, and AB's dad know about the switch.
Happy plotting monsters!

 | 07:12 am - Intro: Pepper Stark
So I'm not going to let myself be talked into upping the character limit again for at least, well, preferably not until the start of the next semester. And yeah, I know, I talked myself into it this time.
This is Prudence "Pepper" Stark. Jokes about Pepper Potts and Tony Stark notwithstanding; she prefers to go by her nickname Pepper.
She's a wandmaker and shopkeeper at Stark's Wands in St. George's Way. She has a peculiar gift for matching people to the correct wand and usually gets it on the first or second try.
She's an alumni of Dresden (class of 2002) and a former Champlain House. She loves books and hates muggle shops. She spends a lot of her time on St. George's Way, but is known to drop by the school and pester her favorite professor, Pete Rosenthal.
It's possible your student might know her if they've passed through the shop; she may have paired them with their wand (and in a few cases she may have crafted the wand, though her father doesn't let her craft as often as she'd like).
She probably won't have many relationships at this stage of the game, but she could have plenty of acquaintances and I'll definitely throw her in every time we do a St. George's trip.

It be Sass with her fourth: this is Riley. He is a pretentious fucking hipster/anarchist hybrid with a strong douchebag streak. His BFF is a girl who Nina will be apping AAAAAANY moment now. *stare*
He is a Putnam (because of his extreme loyalty to his friends once they've earned friendship and he works extremely hard to be as difficult and obscure as possible) and his only extracurricular is school paper. Because it's HARD HITTING STUFF. SO MANY SCANDALS TO BREAK AND CORRUPTION TO REVEAL... yeah, it's a lot more boring than he thought too.
I'm looking for the usual, bbs!

This is Carol again. This is my sixth: B. Madelyn Cooper.
No, she won't tell you what the B stands for. She goes by Madelyn or Maddy and that's that.
She's a theatre geek (she does drama, dance, and choir), history geek, and she's a halfback/safety on the Hudson quodpot team. She's fun, but a little histrionic, sometimes overdramatic.
Looking for the usual stuff, friends, s.o.s (ex or potential), enemies, and so on. :D

HAI EVERYOOONE. :D
Nina here - you guys know meee. <3 I know you, thanks for inviting (HARASSING) me. :D
This is Alistair, also from the UK, born in Ireland. ACCENT OF WIN. He went to Hogwarts and stuff, then undertook Auror training and now is visiting the USA as part of a transfer thing within the Ministry for Magic Law Enforcement department. Due to being on a sort of probation/rookie period he has been posted as a guard at Dresden Academy! Along with Rhys. Yay! Dresden gets all the hotness, lucky Dresden.
He and Rhys are partners (IN AWESOME, NOT IN SEX) and they're the BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WOOORLD. They couldn't be more alike in terms of being blokey, fun loving, - GIRLS AND BOOZ - and generally easy going to everything around them. He's going to love being at the school because it's a little more relaxed and like a bit of a working holiday and it's probably an excuse to act a bit like a big kid. Still he has the ability to be an awesome, dedicated Auror of kickass proportions when the need might arise.
I CAN'T WAIT TO RP WIT U GUYS.

Hi folks!
This is Rhys. He is not a student.. though he may act like one from time to time. He and his BEST BUD have recently moved to the US. They are Aurors. But given the new country/agency/etc. they have to start at the bottom. Which, thankfully for any ladies at the academy, means they have to serve as guards there for a while.
Rhys is pretty fun, I think. He's excited to see what US schools are like.. and excited to be back at a school in general, to be honest. I think his maturity level might drop even more, if that's possible. HIS FAVOURITE THINGS ARE WOMEN AND BEER. I don't know what else to say.. it might be hard to take him seriously given his laid back/fun loving nature.. but he did train hard and work hard to be there and he can make use of those skills when he has to.
IT IS TIME FOR DINNARH. That's probably enough though. XD <3

HERE WITH A SECOND KID!
This one is Victoria (a.k.a. - Tori, or Trouble). She JUST transferred in from another school, just after Valentine's Day. So not only is she new to my brain, she's BRAND SPANKING NEW TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL!
She's a Clemons sophomore, but looks like she could be a junior or a senior if she wanted to. Every other weekend she goes home, and no she will not tell you why. She loves partying and having a good time, and is wicked good at potions. She lives with her grandparents in western New York, while her parents and brothers actually live closer to the school. No, she will not tell you why. She's flirty and social, but somewhat guarded. Her story is her own and she will not share it with anyone.
For the record, she IS a teen mom - which she does not broadcast and no one but the administration would know at all. Her son is almost four months old, and stays with her grandparents - hence her going home every other weekend. She had an affair with one of her teachers at her old school, which was the reason for the switch. Well, that and the baby thing.

HELLO.
Sara here. I'm coming off a sugar high and am actually epically tired right now. So I apologise if this ends up being brief and uninformative and full of mistakes. :E
I only have one character to introduce at this stage. His name is Ryder and he's a bit of a dick. Or a lot of a dick. I don't think he has many friends.. and by friends I mean people who tolerate his presence. He's kind of aggressive and therefore not the most fun person to be around. It's usually talk.. but he'll use magic if he thinks he can get away with it. He's not above a bit of a punch on, either. So he's a trouble maker and a bully, basically. Not someone you really (want to) get close to. He is in Clemons and is a Junior/6th year.. so hopefully he'll have some interaction with some other characters. UMM. What else? He's the only member of his immediate family to have attended the school.. he doesn't like his family much but seems to be on the right path to turn out just like them. He's not an idiot but he certainly acts like one. I don't think I mentioned this in his info (whoops), but his family has a long magical history.. and a long history in the area too, I think. Their branch of the family has fallen from grace a little in recent times on account of them becoming a pack of idiots (that may be Ryder's opinion.. although that makes him a bit of an idiot as well then.)
What else? He's on his houses Quodpot team and in the Dueling club. He's pretty quick. If there's anything else you want to know feel free to ask.. and if you have any ideas for interactions between any of your characters and Ryder let me know!
I am so going to bed now.

Becky again >.> With my new bb!
I bring you Leland Sykes, a hulett junior. He's a transfer student who moved to Dresden at the beginning of his sophomore year. He's a douchey jock, everyone's bud but no one's real close friend. He's got quite a history of burning through girlfriends, teasing kids, and getting into trouble. He's really into sports and plays blindside beater on the quidditch team.
He needs buds, exes, and probably a tutor because the kid has got terrible grammar and spelling.
SMOOCHIE BOOCHIES!

Hey, brosephs!
So far there is only Rosana, and yes, you will call her that unless she has otherwise indicated it will not lead to a most painful death. Possibly by piranha. She is a Clemons senior and international student from Brazil who transferred in her sophomore year to Dresden. She can speak Portuguese, though I don't think I listed that on her page. YET. She knows she's better than you, and has two categories for people: pawn and pet. If you're in the latter category, consider yourself safe. As far as men go, to her you're really only good for one thing and we think you can guess what that is. She's fonder of some than others, but that will really get you nothing more than a spot in her rotating schedule. Although, very few people get that honor? So, take it as you will.
Also, she has a sister anywhere from one to two years younger - though she is definitely a sophomore - whom she despises. Thankfully that sister is not in Dresden (yet). If anyone would be interested in playing her sister, Noemi, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to brainstorm! :D

Haha, Carol is not the only person to forget to do these! I am Sass, and am currently the headspace for three characters (though that's sure to boom).
 Cinnamynn Thompson. 16 years old, Hulett junior. Her parents are celebrities and she was raised in the spotlight. She's very loud and friendly (or thinks she is, anyway), a cheerleader, and is often bugging people for candids or quotes for the school yearbook. She's in Debate, because arguing just comes naturally. She needs friends, 'boyfriends' and I would not at all be adverse to any crushes/people crushing on her!
 Adelaide Legaux. Might be familiar to some of you, but her story has changed a little so I recommend reading her bio. She's now 18 and in University House, having survived a suicide attempt at the end of her senior year. She has a jerkbag ex-boyfriend and an extremely limited friends circle which is probably still figuring out how to tiptoe around That Big Issue. Still a sports freak with attachment issues, and let's not get started on that whole family thing. Some friends/acquaintances and enemies are welcomed!
 Steven Suzuki. 15 years old, Champlain sophomore. He's quiet and studious, a total Champlain stereotype. However, he can also be fiercely judgemental and elitist (particularly on matters of intelligence) and very closed off on personal matters-- you probably wouldn't guess he's bisexual. If he was in charge of the world, he'd have you all forcibly sterilized if by some miracle you proved yourself worthy of being allowed to live. Friends are unlikely, love interests highly improbable, enemies a given. He has a very interesting sister available for play.

I always forget to do this part.
I'm Carol. I moderate and I play. At present I have five characters in game (all on this journal).
First up is Veronica Cantrell. She's a bit of a perfectionist and very hardworking. She's kind of prissy and a little picky about the kind of people she hangs out with.
Next is Abernathy Ford. She's a north country girl through and through. Rough and tumble and not afraid to tell you how she feels. She's a senior and not planning on sticking around for University, so she's only got a few months left to play here.
Third is Hawthorne Nikitin. Nicknamed Thorny, mostly because he was a constant thorn in his mother's side. He's a punk rocker and he's almost always in trouble. Being a creative guy he's in Hudson House. Also a senior he's trying to decide if he wants to stick around for another year.
Fourth is Thorny's cousin, Luka Nikitin. He's a little pookie, but he's also constantly in trouble. It's like he can't quite help it, trouble tends to find him.
Last is Arnaud Powell. He's an international student and is working to come back for his senior year. He was sorted into Clemons and he doesn't like what that may imply. He's friendly, but quiet and he gives haircuts in the dorms for a nominal fee.
