Current Event


` In The Midst Of Races So the students have finally arrived at Hogwarts. Classes have commenced, and students are learning the true meaning to being a wizard, whether they're fun or painful lessons. But what's more important are the events outside of class. Alliances are formed, and lines of hatred are drawn. The choices rely on the students alone, but the real question is...who will you stand with?

Character of the Moment


Damian Wood
Played By: Liv

Slytherin has had a common misconception of having ambitious, sly, and cunningly charming people amongst the house. With the likes of Damien Wood, he is better off being a Gryffindor, even though he's not as couragous and daring as most people think he is. However, he has a kindness and an out going personality probably stronger than all the Slytherins combined. His skill on a broom is also stellar, and in the end, anyone is fortunate when they meet Damian Wood. After all, who can go wrong with a teddy bear like him?

Hello everyone!

Again, we hope everyone is having a great time here and we'd like to thank you all for sticking with us thus far. We'd like to give a warm welcome to some of the new members, including Kristen, Allie, Lindsay, Kelsea, and all those ^-^ We're lucky to have you guys and we look forward to roleplaying with each every one of you.

Okay, getting straight to business. We've been noticing a lack of effort in some of your posts. Upon reading your applications, Adana, Laties, and I make careful decisions on what characters and members to accept. We make judgements based on your applications if you can keep on the caliber of the site. In short however, we've been a bit disappointed with the lack of effort we've seen in posts. Guys, a paragraph MUST be 5 sentences. 2 Sentences will not cut it, no matter how many lines you fill. We will be enforcing a 2-3 paragraph minimum here. If you spend a little more time on your posts for all you speed posters, you'll find that reaching that minimum isn't too difficult.

Anyway, on a lighter note. You'd notice that we've decided a character of the moment. And we've picked Boston's character "Romeo Marlowe". He's one of our 'older' characters in the sense that he was one of the first characters to be on the site. ^-^ and therefore, we'd like to thank him for still being a part of us!

We've seen a steady increase in class participation, and the staff is really happy on what we're seeing happy.gif keep up the good work guys!

Also, you guys have definately helped out the ratios between houses as well. The houses are around a similar number in populace, and we have no one else to thank but all of our members. Thanks guys!

You guys may also notice the character awards thread we've opened located in the trophy room. :] The staff had thought it'd be a cool idea to make little trophy-awards for characters who fulfilled IC achievements. We'll be providing the graphics for you guys and posting them in the trophy room where your characters will be remembered. Also! For all you heads/prefects/quidditch capts., we'll be making little graphics for you to add to your signatures almost as a badge. So we'll make sure to keep you posted on those.

We've updated the pips! We figured the old ones were way too dark and looked really ugly. xD So we've made them much better! And also! We added a member legend to make things a bit more color-orderly and what not and for your covenience. ^-^ Let me know if you guys think one of the colors doesn't fit as well, and we'll fix that asap. =]

Well, i think i got what i had to say covered. We really hope you guys are enjoying this place, and the staff wants to just say we've been so thrilled to be a part of here with people like you.

- Alan, Adana, and Laties - Staff of Back To The Basics
