Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Character: Walter Staghart
Quick Facts:
Age: 35 (b. 1856)
House: Ravenclaw
Grad Year: 1875
Class: Working Class
Reputation: 8-10
Blood/Race: Halfblood
Occupation: Auror

Needs:
Friends/Former Classmates: Walter was in Hogwarts between the years of 1867 to 1875. Though he didn't make a huge amount of friends he did make an effort to socialize with those who could benefit him in the future. (In his mind anyway, may not ended up that way in the long run).

He trained as an Auror from fall of 1875 to spring of 1878 so anybody who trained with him, including mentors, instructors etc would be fun to have. Establishing friendships etc with all his fellow Aurors both older and younger is also something I'm interested in developing.

Hurls: Romance isn't something Walter actively looks for but I'm open to anybody interested in trying to establish a romantic encounter. Now that Walter is nearing his 4th decade he has been thinking about finding a wife. It's not likely to be a marriage of love but one more for image sake. As for casual flings, it's possible but unlikely. Most I would prefer to role play out than just assume it happened in the past. If you have an idea and want to swing it past me, feel free, I do enjoy a good plot.



Character: Terence Higgs
Quick Facts:
Age: 44
House: Hufflepuff
Grad Year: 1865
Class: Upper
Reputation: 10
Blood/Race: Muggleborn
Occupation: Arts Instructor (started in 1891-1892 school year)

Needs:
Friends/Colleagues: Terence has been travelling abroad for most of his life after graduating from Hogwarts and returned to Britain a few months before the 1891-1892 school season started. He was hired to teach Arts at Hogwarts starting in Sept. 1891 so if anybody wants to do slightly backdated threads of him meeting Hogwarts staff or students I'm game.

Friends from the past are welcome as well, otherwise I'm open for any new friendships going forward.

Hurls: Terence is currently a bachelor and definitely open for any romance for him. I feel he's a typical heterosexual man but openminded enough he may be up for a little experimentation should things lean that way. Keeping the option open but the odds are against it.



Character: Edgar Minks
Quick Facts:
Age: 26
House: Slytherin
Grad Year: 1884
Class: Middle
Reputation: 7
Blood/Race: Pureblood
Occupation: Businessman/Investor

Needs:
Friends/Former Classmates: I'm looking for any friends for Edgar, former classmates especially those who share his views. Though Middleclass he's done well for himself since leaving Hogwarts and hopes to make enough money to enter the Upper-class at some point.

Shady Friends/Business associates: As Leon Bunyip he has many dealings among the shady underworld of Hogsmeade/London, both in the Wizarding World and among Muggles. Thus, I'm looking for business managers for his illegal gambling dens, brothels' etc. His Alias could be known among some law enforcement but nothing solid enough for him to be arrested or to connect Leon with Edgar.

Hurls: For Edgar he presents himself as a proper gentleman so he's open to any romance but he'll likely avoid married women publicly. At school if given the opportunity it he may have dated a bit, even had a romantic interlude once or twice. Once graduated he is open for any new relationship. While disguised as Leon he is far more relaxed about his romantic encounters, so likely has had plenty of trysts since graduating. For either Edgar or his alias Leon I'm open for romantic encounters to be more than just casual, depending on how things develop in play.



Character: Malcorvus Flint
Quick Facts:
Age: 64
House: Slytherin
Grad Year: 1845
Class: Upper-class
Reputation: 10
Blood/Race: Pureblood
Occupation: Educator/Founder of Flint Institute of Advanced Magic/Wizengamut Member

Needs:
Friends:
I'm looking for friends, both from his time as a member of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and among the Wizengamut. He's not open about his purist views but trusted friends among the Upper-class Purebloods would know, especially if they share his views. Social friends among the Upper class and Purebloods is also something I would like to established. Malcorvus has been around awhile and his late wife was very much a socialite so he's pretty well known in general.

Fellow Members: This is specifically the current and past members of the Wizengamut (members in 1880 to current) and fellow members of the Knights of Walpurgis (most are probably those he recruited or his son did. Any pureblood upper-class wizard or witch character who would be interested in joining, PM me and Dante and we can see about setting up threads for possible future recruitment. Or if you'll like your character to be a current member.

Students: Malcorvus teaches a very select group of students at the Flint Institute of Advanced Magic, think your character makes the cut, let me know. Keep in mind he'll only teach purebloods who have very impressive NEWT scores or otherwise have demonstrated impressive talent in magic. Classes are likely to be very small, even one on one depending on interest.

Hurls: Malcorvus recently lost his wife so isn't actively looking for romance. He currently feels he's already had the love of his life and raised a perfect family, he doesn't need a future wife. That said, I'm still leaving it open for possible future hurls, depending on how things feel during role-play. Eventually I do see him remarrying, just not high on his list of things to do for the next couple years.



Character: Steliana Nicolescu
Quick Facts:
Age: 30
House: Durmstrang Institute of Magic
Grad Year: 1879
Class: Upper Class
Reputation: 8
Blood/Race: Pure blood
Occupation: Professor, Care of Magical Creatures

Needs:
Friends:
Being relatively new to the UK, Steliana definitely needs friends. These can be known friends of her Aunt and Uncle (with whom she stayed for a few months before starting at Hogwarts)
Hurls:
I'm open to hurls for Steliana, though not looking to get her married for awhile, that said romance is always a possibility.



Character: Henry Thompsett
Quick Facts:
Age: 14
House: Gryffindor
Grad Year: 4th Year (5th in sept.)
Class: Middle-class
Reputation: 10
Blood/Race: Halfblood
Occupation: Student

Needs: What you’re looking for!
Friends/Classmates/Former Classmates:
Pretty much looking for everything, especially fellow classmates and Gryffindors. Fellow Quidditch players are also wanted, either Gryffindor or other teams. Rivalries of all types are welcome.
Hurls: Given he's still fairly young, not looking for romance but chrushes and the like are all good. He's going to start noticing girls by now, so looking forward to potential crushes especially when the new school year begins.


Character: Marvolo Gaunt
Quick Facts:
Age: 22
House: Slytherin
Grad Year: 1884 (didn't return after finishing 3rd year)
Class: Working
Reputation: 6
Blood/Race: Pure Blood
Occupation: Employee at Borgin and Burkes

Needs: What you’re looking for!
Currently looking for past associates from school, customers or fellow employees at Borgin and Burkes. Especially looking for characters he's had issues with in the past or for the future. I really want to develop his insanity in game, especially his temper and tendency to hex those who belittle him or his wife.

Hurls: Being happily married not looking for any hurls beyond his current relationship. That said, I'm more than willing for him to become somebody else's crush.


Character: Wrath Wakefield
Quick Facts:
Age: 18
House: Hufflepuff
Grad Year: 1893 (still 7th year student)
Class: Middleclass
Reputation: 7
Blood/Race: Halfblood
Occupation: currently 7th year student

Needs: What you’re looking for!
Looking for classmates, friends, pretty much anybody outside of her large family. I'm especially interested in anybody who shares a love of the Sherlock Holmes stories appearing in various Muggle Magazines, investigation/detectives in general. I'm hoping she'll get a job working with a detective/private Eye sort of character come summer after she graduates. She's not as good as she thinks she'll be but that'll only really come out in practice.

Hurls: Wrath is completely open when it comes to hurls/romances, whether a crush while she's still at school or something else down the line. I'm even open for something scandalous happening especially if it leads up to her living up to her name..
