Introducing Callum Spinnet
b. 1867 | Slytherin Dropout | Hogsmeade | Footman & Occasional Fence

Charming, ambitious, and with a heart of gold-foil-on-cardboard, Callum Spinnet is a Hogsmeade resident, though by virtue of his profession, can work events all over Britain, making him particularly versatile. In his leisure time, he enjoys boxing and working with large animals, and while he inisists he's washed his hands of it, he does occiasionally help on the family farm, and may be seen minding their cart at the Hogsmeade market.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

• HOUSEMATES: Cal lives in a small, but tidy rooming house in Pennyworth with up to 3 other male housemates.
  
• THE FUCKER: At the end of their first year, a dormmate of Cal's framed him for stealing his pocket-watch, as the two had been butting heads all year. UCAB/MCAB male Slytherin, class of '85. If Cal hadn't been leaving anyways, this stunt would have cost him his education, and yeah, Cal bears a grudge.
  
• SCHOOL CHUMS: WCAB, probably male, and either in his year or a year ahead and in Slytherin. Likely spend a fair amount of their time in Hogsmeade.
  
• HOGSMEADE CREW: WC or lower-MC people local to Hogsmeade that might have ties to the market, local shops, or various local trades that would have interacted with Cal in the past, or might do so in future.
  
• PAST SPARKS: Not flames because I want him to face heartache in Real Time, but are you a Pretty Girl™ in the Hogsmeade area, WC, and in your leate teens to mid-twenties? Cal is: a flirt and also: up for casual sex.
  
• SERVICE: Do you work in a household? Cal doesn't work for a specific family anydays, and is essentially a freelance footman brought on for various events. This means that if your employers like to host a party or ambitious weekend, etc., he may have been brought on and thus, you may know him! This is not limited to Hogsmeade.
  
• SALES... INDUSTRY: Look, sometimes Cal gets his hands on some nice stuff. It may come from you, or somewhere else, and frankly, he keeps his beak out of the details. He is, however, delighted to pass merchandise in either directions—in exchange for a cut of the profits, of course.
  

PLOTTABLE(S): will be formally posted later, but hey, if you have a hankering or a pre-existing that fits, hit me up!

• THE BABY MAMA: In December of 1891, it was revealed that a daughter of the house Cal was working in was pregnant—and oops, he was the father. She was hastily married off to a much older man, and okay, he may have seen her since, and okay, they may have groped a bit in a cloakroom. (UCAB, born ~1867-1873)
  
• SUGAR MAMA: An attractive, married woman of means, aged 20s-40s, who uses Cal for sex and tosses some shiny things and gossip his way. Neither of them are emotionally attached, at least at present, and they are quite aware of where they stand. Could be pre-existing or developed moving forward!
  

Introducing Pandora Foxglove
b. 1853 | Slytherin ('72) | London | Assistant Head of the Department of Mysteries; Criminal

For two decades, time has been Pandora's area of expertise. As an Unspeakable, no one outside of the department knows explicitly what she does and she leans towards cagey even by DoM standards. This is an occupational hazard of her double life in the criminal side of magical London.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

• DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES: Pandora's career has been largely focused around time, though she tries to have her fingers in as many pies as possible—something that has only increased since her promotion to Assistant Head of the department. Would be very interested in sussing out her relationships with her colleagues here!
  
• THE WIDER MINISTRY: Knowing Pan, I don't think she would have done... anything to form connections to Generic Ministry Workers, however am interested to hash out how she gets on with other Ministry leadership!
  
• LONDON UNDERBELLY: Do you do crimes or associate with criminals? HMU.
  
• PAST LIVES: Pandora graduated from Hogwarts, Slytherin House, in 1872. She was very private during her time there, though did make two good friends (including a yearmate who comforted her in first year when her mother died) and was friendly enough with many other classmates.
  

  

- Ford was semi-regularly stealing stuff and would have needed fence services. He is not doing this anymore since the last attempt lead to him getting married :P
- Magnolia is a young WC woman but London based not Hogsmeade
- Ezra for DoM things
- does Pandora want to talk to Oz about the Dept Head spot
- alternatively Juliana is not "Ministry leadership" per ce but they've probably interacted

I'll just link you to my networking if you need to click through to their accounts rather than tagging everyone :P

Set by Lady!

Callum:

Maddie - Hogsmeade shop owner - either for the magical animal shop - or the parental bakery. She's definitely on the naive end of things- but she would likely blush when he came in. Happy to have them interact at a WC event - or a shop based thread.

Rose: if he spends his day off with the finer company of the True Hart, she could also pass along slightly shady information or buy things from him for discounts obviously

Isis: She does boxing and bare knuckle fighting, they might have sparred, she knows her fights are basically a sideshow rather than the 'real' fights but with no magic she takes her fighting seriously. Happy for them to be friends or antagonistic depending on how he feels about all of that! lol. She is also a smuggler - so she can bring stuff in for him to sell - or help him get things out of the country.

Karina: She would probably think herself too good for him, but fail hurl or antagonistic hurl could be interesting

Pandora:
Rose: Once again, Rose. While not a criminal herself, her place would certainly have criminal types hanging out there, and

Isis: Again - smuggler fun possibly - sort of as above. Some of her work is less than legit so possible interaction source there.

Murdock: ministry person -possible case that requires cooperation between DMLE and DoM?

  

hello thur Cal

Izzy here thinks you're pretty.

He would have been a classmate of Alvin Bixby, near Dean Hudson and a few others, both those a probably better. My Pennyworth resident is Bronwyn Moony who is fun for the occasional mutual itch scratching.

You know my Hogsmeade crowd pretty well, but Rhys Gallagher might have an eye on him?

For Pandora:

Dean again, Eugene, & Harvey are my Ministry crew. Jack Collins is in her age range! They were definitely at school at the same time.

I think my only connection God, I need some WC characters is Protego Lochrin for Pandora. He was in the year below her in Slytherin. He's not explicitly shady, but he is very "hey, what people do with what I sell them is their business and not mine." For what that is worth.

set by Bee! <3

For Cal:
I present to you Clifford Hillicker who is the same age as him, and would have been either his friend or someone he butted heads with, given that they were house rivals. Cliff is kind of a jerk and does as he pleases lol. He spends a lot of time in Hogsmeade because he likes to steal things.
Zin here is now working class. They might know each other because of the Potts Florist?

For Pandora:
I can realistically only offer Timoleon Maxime who thinks women should be heard and not seen lmao<3

Bee made this beauty<3

Obviously I want Ivy/Cal I can start if ya want !!

Johanna Applegate was a year below him in Slytherin and I think they also may mesh interestingly ???

For Pan I obviously have Emilia, who I think she has an extremely professional relationship with.

MJ made this!

So for Pandora I have Marlena as discussed. I don't think anyone else fits at the moment but I do have an idea for another character to revive that could fit! More on that later...

For Cal, and you had to know I was going to ask this, but this Sugar Mama? Is their any wriggle room on the age? :P

MJ: still raising the graphics bar as of 2022

#general acknowledgement of receipt will hit y'all up <3
