Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------


    Early Years:
    ufus was born to John and Alice homes, the former a muggle and the latter a which, though her husband did not know that. To his horror, all three of his children were, in his terms, ‘freaks.’ They lived in a small village where everyone knew each other and Rufus was known as the quiet one, or the smart one due to his perfect record at school. At the age of nine though, his mother was murdered by some muggle and his father abandoned the three of them. Rufus was separated from his sisters and lived with foster parents until his eleventh birthday, when he was surprised to find out that he would be attending Hogwarts.

    Hogwarts Years:
    Throughout his Hogwarts years, Rufus excelled academically in most subjects. Arithmetics, Charms, Transfiguration and Potions were subjects he was far above the rest in, whereas he was relatively weak in Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic - simply because of how boring it was. Socially, Rufus made few friends and seldom talked for most of his years. In later years he began to take more interest in people, and especially girls, so he became more involved socially.

    Adulthood:
    After graduating from Hogwarts with 9 NEWT’s, Rufus immediately entered Auror training, where he distinguished himself by passing most of the tests without even using his wand. His ambition to be an auror came mainly from his desire to face challenges rather than from a desire to do good. Also, Rufus figured that to stay on top of the law, it was best to be someone who enforced it. For the auror, he is more of a logician, a spy and a detective for the aurors. He can solve complicated tasks, get valuable information and identify any death eater no matter how well he is hiding. Also, he changes his name to his mothers surname shortly after graduating due to an intense dislike of his father.

He looks like he has potential to be very interesting in the auror pool. I am looking forward to reading his history! I really want to read his backstory!

Welcome to P.A., btw!

i don't have any means of really knowing if any particular character will be open in the future. those are generally up to the individual players who have claimed them. james has been inactive for sometime, so that one might come up first.

I'd like to see you rp this one for awhile first, but if you still want james and the old player has not taken him up again, i'll try to give you first chance at him. but, since i am not the only admin, nor am I the head admin, that's not always my choice.

Anyway, I'll accept you and sort you into grads.

At least use this character consistently for about... two weeks or so, get him established, then PM myself about what you'd like to do about James and Albus, and I'll see what's open.

Most likely though they will be available.

Also, moved.
