Hurling Season 1893
#17
Ginevra Blackwood
Social Butterfly | 23 | Future Socialite

A brief (like, 1-2 sentence long) description.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL | TARGETED

IC Dealbreakers: Boring - but this is her do or die season I think.

IC Ideal: Fun and Quidditch adjacent - unmarried Quidditch sponsors would be very high on her list, otherwise fun social types or 'perfect on paper' society men.

OOC Ideal: Toxic - throwing things and rowing, or compromised with someone she actually hates and matches badly.

Hurling Grounds: Quidditch or society events.

@"Character Name"
STAT | 22 | STAT

Out for revenge, but could either be sidetracked or fall for the person she's out to destroy.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: None she can think of, could fall for someone in one of her 'personas' and needs to maintain the fiction

IC Ideal: She isnt looking for anything so it'll either sneak up on her or appeal to her worse instincts.
OOC Ideal: IDEALLY, her count of Monte Cristo plot progression - taking volunteers to be rightly or wrongly blamed for all of her woes,

Hurling Grounds: society events and if the dude is from the family she blames then she will find an excuse to be anywhere the family is

Murdock Greyback
Secret Werewolf | 40 | Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement

A kind, gregarious man, with 2 daughters. He was engaged to Miss Titania Alleyway, but she broke it off with him. He considers his first wife to be his great love. The truth of this remains to be seen. On paper he's a catch, if from a slightly insular, antisocial family.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: purist, half breeds that are not werewolves - don't at him - he's a Victorian male, hypocrisy is par for the course.

IC Ideal: not a fresh deb, mature, motherly, animagus or smart enough to become one.
OOC Ideal: I'd like him to happy, but I'd also like for him to be married to someone who HATES his werewolfyness has an aversion to it, or has her own deep dark secret.

Hurling Grounds: Society or ministry

Rachel Morgan
18 | UCHB | PRE-DEBUTE

A force to be reckoned with, Rachel can be hot and cold depending on just who she's talking to and isn't one to hold her tongue. As she's slated to attend Pendergast come fall, she isn't technically out but she has every intention of embracing the summer before being locked up in finishing school.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Unattractive in both natural appearance or in dress and how they present themselves, poor

IC Ideal: UCHB/UCPB, not younger than her, confident. MC for affairs, etc but not marriage
OOC Ideal: Pretty open honestly. I haven't really thought to much about what I want from her long term so really just down for whatever. I also know that while she likes men, I'm not sure beyond that so maybe?

Hurling Grounds: London, Hogsmeade


#21
Sarah Moon
18 | MCPB | DEBUTING

Even her aversion to men can't get in the way for her desire for a husband (at least that's what she keeps telling herself).

Hurling for:
  • Marriage
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: WC or lower-MC men. Her parents are social climbers and, as their only daughter, she's expected to marry well.

IC Ideal: Someone who shows little interest in her beyond wanting to marry her. Someone ho will not try to kiss her, fondle her, or force her to carry more than one—maybe two—children. Someone with money, if only to appease her mother.
OOC Ideal: Sarah is a lesbian and therefore any hurling will non-romantic in nature. Is your character struggling with feelings for another woman and you want an interaction to put those feelings into perspective? She's your girl. Want to put your character through an unrequited love plot? She's your girl as well. I'd also love a few "good on paper" threads so Sarah can begin to reflect on how not-straight she is.

Hurling Grounds: Hogsmeade, London, etc. etc. Her family is wealthy, so she might be invited to some parties that are UC/importan mC. Who knows. I'm game for anything.

Jonathan Copper ("Natty")
38 | WCHB | HOGWARTS GROUNDSKEEPER & GHOST WRITER


Labourer with soul needs his world turned upside-down.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage (I'm open to a relationship leading there)
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL or PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: No younger than 22. No masculine chaps.

IC Ideal: He isn't looking! But he's going to fall hard anyway. He is attracted to beauty and depth.

OOC Ideal: Natty is my only character, so I'm looking for a relatively active shipping plot. I'm looking to write attraction-at-first-sight (at least on Natty's part!). He is a widower, and will be taken unaware by his feelings. I'm very open to who this might be, but especially keen for something inappropriate, i.e. ideally not a single WC woman!

Hurling Grounds: Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, bookshops, parks, anywhere he might shop for work supplies, anywhere he can sit and write, anywhere he can walk and think.

Noble Greengrass
MCPB | 24 | POTIONEER

Incredibly stressed-out young man could stand to use mistakes that don't result in natural disasters.
Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Anyone extremely in society's eye

IC Ideal: Technically he's not, but Noble tends to be attracted to smart brunettes
OOC Ideal: I want something complicated, but that starts uncomplicated

Hurling Grounds: Society events where he's chaperoning his sisters; hospitals, apothecaries, and other potions-related stores

Ursula Black
36 | UCPB | Chronically Neglected Hussy Wife

It's been 4 years
A compliment goes a long way, persistent flattery will probably get you anywhere.
Which is not to say she doesn't have standards but she does have an embarrassingly low tolerance to seduction.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Muggles, muggleborns, under the age of 26.

IC Ideal: Attentive, charming, attractive. Wealthy UC gentlemen are preferable but ruinously good looks and charm could make up for social/financial inferiority.
OOC Ideal: She's completed Marauder Ancester Sex Bingo so it's up to her now.

Hurling Grounds: UC events, shopping locations... I can think up a reason for most places aside from Irvingly and obvously off-limits places like gentlemens clubs.

Charles Macmillan
33 | UCPB | ASPIRING MINISTER OF MAGIC

So the difficulty with Charles is his incredibly low opinion and mistrust of almost every woman in existence. He's deeply paranoid of ending up with a wife who will socially embarrass him and ruin his life and career. Again.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL/PURPOSEFULish

IC Dealbreakers: For marriage: No older than 28, promiscuous vibes will not be tolerated, pureblood humans only, widows with children are probably a no.
For any purpose aside from marriage: Shouldn't be someone he'd look at as potential wife material, no debutantes. He's not looking for a mistress because he's focused on finding a wife but he pays for sex and I assume he'd be happy to not pay for it sometimes so...

IC Ideal: In a wife: a good little trophy wife, the more prudish the better.
In a not-wife: idek man, I think he has some mommy issues. Someone who's prepared to stroke his fragile ego would definitely win his favor.
OOC Ideal: Come what may. I want him to get married soon but it doesn't have to be perfect and as long as the woman doesn't show any major red flags before the wedding day she can have as many hidden red flags as she likes, realistically speaking.

Hurling Grounds: The Ministry, UC social events, possibly out and about but he's a workaholic and will probably have the Bride Hunting switch in his brain turned off. Not for any particular reason, he's just not personally interested enough in having a wife aside from social expectation and an heir that it wouldn't occur to him to be looking for them outside the designated social occasions.

Questor Spryly
24 | WCMB | Occupationally transient

Here for a good time, not a long time.
He's a little bit naive and immature for his age, but he'll try anything once.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Snobbish types who openly look down on him.

IC Ideal: He's not consciously looking for anything but he could easily fall into something. He's not looking for marriage but he could be pressured into it. I'm not sure what his sexual preferences are, although I suspect he might have a particular inclination towards older women.
OOC Ideal: Whatever. It's all new to him.

Hurling Grounds: At work, pubs, inns, WC friendly locations. London might be difficult because he can't apparate and has limited funds, Hogsmeade is a little more accessible though.




Eyeing up this magnificent set eh? MJ sold her soul to Satan's graphic designer. I wish he'd take mine too.

Henry Berkwood
25 | UCMB | Potioneer

Gay, eccentric. Not an heir, but his parents are motivated for grandbabies and his brother isn't likely to try any time soon, sooo...

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Marriage: Purists wouldn't want him, but general anti-muggle sentiment is also a no. Stupid. Anyone likely to have genuine romantic feelings for him.
Not-marriage: most of the same dealbreakers apply (except the last one). Married. Female.

IC Ideal: Marriage: Someone he can be friends with.
Not-marriage: God, he just wants someone to challenge him. Please. #geniusproblems
OOC Ideal: I like messy and complicated.

Hurling Grounds: UC events, London, Hogsmeade

Madeleine Backus
22 | Owner of the Beautiful Beast Boutique | Will feed you cake

Maddie is a well-traveled animal breeder. She is peachy keen, quiet and sweet, still very niave and could absolutely be manipulated or taken advantage of.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL | TARGETED

IC Dealbreakers: Not sure - lets call it TBD

IC Ideal: She's not sure, she could easily mistake cruelty or callousness for masculine strength. Her ideal probably, in some way, resembles that version of Handsome Whitledge she remembers from school - so someone she has a reason to trust, she associates it with having 'saved' her in some way, or something which 'feels' pure.

OOC Ideal: A bit of drama would be a good thing or a socially difficult relationship - so again toxic and/or difficult would be nice. I'm also down for an elopment or otherwise foolish decision-making.

Hurling Grounds: Town - She breeds and trains magical equines, but also has a business selling other magical animals, so can make that work.

Oscar Daphnel
UCPB | 18 | APPRENTICE CURSE-BREAKER

Local uppity youth loves to flirt. (Possibly bi, tbd.)

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL

IC Dealbreakers: Too proper/marriage-wanting

IC Ideal: what, if anything, your character is looking for
OOC Ideal: my personal goal is for Oscar to deflower someone by end of season

Hurling Grounds: Society events, anywhere a curse breaker can feasibly be

Hermia Bonaccord
19 | UCPB | FLINT INSTITUTE STUDENT, RELUCTANT DEB

Old money and older bloodline, Hermia has everything she needs to be the success of the Season...minus the will to be even remotely involved. Kind, sentimental, deeply studious, and a lover of the exotic world, Hermia can't imagine marrying...or actually pissing off her parents. Won't understand flirtation unless you can hand her a book on the topic.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Unrequited

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL | PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: Extremely poor, outwardly cruel, against her further studies, hardline racist (for the time) sentiments

IC Ideal: Clever, well-read and well-traveled, MC/UCPB, I can see her falling for a doctor/professor type. Really easy to see her bonding with other academics.

OOC Ideal: I want to test her. Is she going to stick to what she believes or cave to the traditional structures around her? Is her heart of gold really incorruptible or can the right argument or potential suitor change her for the darker? In reality, I can totally see her being happy being some gay man's cover story so they can go about their lives in peace. She'd rather have a best friend than a lover, as far as she knows.

Hurling Grounds: Flint Institute events, International events, most anyplace

Kentigern MacFusty
42 | MCHB | FORMER GRYFFINDOR | DRAGON RESTRAINT BUREAU HEAD

Widower with five children is not dead yet and still young at heart. He would make a loving and playful husband for the right woman.

Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage
  • Sex
  • Ongoing Affair

My Hurling Style Preference: PURPOSEFUL | TARGETED

IC Dealbreakers: Disliking children, he has many and is a loving father so would not tolerate a woman who obviously dislikes them.

IC Ideal: Fond of children. ACAB. 25+ (but see below).
OOC Ideal: Same as above but can be younger than 25 if there is undeniable IC chemistry!

Hurling Grounds: social events, Ministry, Hogsmeade, London, pretty much anywhere tbh

Philomena Sprout
24 | UCPB | HUFFLEPUFF ALUMNA | WELCOME WITCH AT EVERGARDENS

She's a seer with a helluva green thumb. If you want to get to her, you gotta go through her step-mother (poison healer), father, two sets of twin brothers, a miniature hawk and a magical fox.
Hurling for:
  • Romance / Sentiment
  • Marriage

My Hurling Style Preference: CASUAL or PURPOSEFUL

IC Dealbreakers: Anyone who is cruel or racist, or thinks that seers are freaks

IC Ideal: Someone who likes plants, is kind, respectable, and will accept her for who she is
OOC Ideal: I have an addiction to enemies to lovers plots but Phie isn't the combative type unless it comes to plants? Grumpy/sunshine is my next favorite, then opposites attract. Also someone who might try and drag Phie away from plants for like 5 minutes and make her confront her fears about being a seer.

Hurling Grounds: Evergardens would make most sense, Magical London, anywhere she could get plants/flowers? UC events
