All of these characters can be temporary, though if you fall in love and want to keep them around forever I certainly won't stop you. Why play a centaur? You get to start a lot of open threads that just fuck with people and wreak havoc. You also get to help shape Charming-specific lore for centaurs since the HP wiki isn't super detailed on their culture or anything.

THE MADONNA. A female centaur and the mother of the child who was insulted and/or endangered by the Quidditch player. She is OUT FOR BLOOD. She has a position of relative authority in the herd (herd leader, chosen successor to the herd leader, daughter of one of the herd leaders, chief healer, chief diviner, etc etc) which allowed her to get all the centaurs incensed on her behalf quite easily.

THE DIPLOMAT(S). These character(s) (could be one of either gender, or two-one male, one female) are older, have more experience with humans, and therefore get tasked with going and talking to the Ministry about all this. They do not like humans, they have just had to tolerate them in the past.

THE RABBLE ROUSERS. These characters (one male, one female) are young adults who have limited experience with humans so far and no family connections of their own. That makes them the perfect centaurs to spearhead all the chaos and undertake the more ~iffy shenanigans (ie ones that involve directly confronting a lot of humans or doing dangerous shit). I'll be playing one of them, who will gradually start thinking 'huh maybe humans aren't The Absolute Worst™?' while the other will be all D< about mine going 'soft.' I'm flex on gender.

THE HERD LEADERS. One male, one female. Could double with Madonna and/or Diplomat above. Serves a mentor role to the other centaurs and drives the strategy of the 'kill all wizard sports' campaign.

Existing/established characters preferred but I won't tell you how to live your life. These details are all flexible and the people involved in this plot aren't limited to the roles below so shout out if you want to fit your person in. ^^

THE QUIDDITCH LOUT. Ideally plays for the Hogsmeade Howlers since they're nearest the herd, but we could swing another player if necessary. This player - either purposefully or accidentally - insulted the honor of Madonna & child, and rather than apologizing and offering deference they then dug themselves deeper by insulting the honor of the entire herd which kicked this whole thing off. If this is you, you should be prepared for possible IC fallout from your actions

QUIDDITCH PLAYER VICTIMS. Do you play pro-Quidditch? We're coming for you. We might sabotage your locker room, interrupt your match with a volley of arrows, etc. I'm open to serious injury but let's coordinate it so we don't let things get too out of hand too quickly xD

WELL INTENTIONED BUT ILL INFORMED EMISSARY. A human who tries to wander into the Forest to talk to the centaurs after things really kick off and gets chased all the way back to Hogsmeade because centaurs are hella territorial <3

MINISTRY FOLKS. Of all shapes and sizes, really, but at least one of them has to step up to eventually resolve things. I'm pretty flex on what that resolution involves but we can chat about it OOC to figure it out.
