a nightmare to you specifically
On May 2nd, 1998, the Second Wizarding War reached its conclusion when He Who Should Not Be Named or as the world came to accept saying, Voldemort, put the final nail in his own coffin. His precious killing curse rebound and put an end to what had been several life times of pain and torment for the masses. Whether they knew it, muggle and non. The magical community had all but crumbled in the aftermath of it all. If it were not for Young Potter and so many of his allies and even some former enemies, our world might be where it is today. A seemingly peaceful oasis in what was once a war zone. We cannot forget what it took to get us here. Hogwarts and the rest of the magical community came together and the remainder of great minds put themselves together to come up with a solution. A true path forward.
On August 23rd, 1999, the Wizarding World announced the opening of Hogwarts University. A place that would allow students involved in the war to be resorted into one of the four houses and continue their education. A way to heal and move on while also trying to make something of themselves following such devastation. Something the world desperately needed. Over time, the University opened its doors to Muggles and former Death Eaters in the form of a program called Accepting Muggles and Exonerating Nixed Death-Eaters, A.M.E.N.D for short. The University worked with the new Ministry of Magic to offer an alternative to Azkaban for those who did not necessarily belong or deserved a shot at redemption. Not all would be allowed to keep their attachment to magic. Following an incident in November of the following year, the program was amended for those who were deemed too high of a risk. They were to be stripped of their connection to magic and allowed to attend but their studies would become centered on Muggle Studies and the like.
Not all wounds were healed contrary to the beliefs of many; time heals all wounds. Purist rhetoric still runs deep in the minds of many, prejudice and belief that the world might have been better off had the Dark Lord won following close behind. Muggles aren't excused from this either as many still harbor resentment to say the least when it comes to everything that happened. They may not have had concrete proof of magic, but the wool was no longer over their eyes so to speak. Tension remained high for quite some time. Many were not prepared for change of this magnitude nor the effect the war had on magic in general. Some witches and wizards weren't being discovered until later in their life, and some with latent magical talent being awoken. Adjustments had to be made.
Fast forward; the year is now 2023. The University has grown in both size and renown. Our story focuses on a new group of those accepted. Some familiar faces to one another and others, some who were not awakened until recently. Times have changed but some things are still the same. There have been whispers amongst the student population about a new darkness rising. Some may even be of the belief their time has come while others are against it. Only time and our dedicated roleplayers will decide!

Hi, Sugar here. I want to take some formalities down to say we DO NOT SUPPORT OR SHARE the views of the terf who made Harry Potter series and will remove any person who share her bigoted beliefs from our roleplay. We actively yearn for diversity in race, ethnicity, nationality, sexualities, gender identity, bodies, and nuanced experiences. We also welcome non-native English speakers so please consider joining!
Please note, I am posting on behalf of SpookiBab since she's a new member on the site but not to roleplaying. Consider me more of a moderator since all the brilliant ideas come from her and she deserves most of the credit. I'm just the overly enthusiastic lacky!
[ BASICS. ]
Follow the roleplay rules along with the RPNation TOS! We want to keep this roleplay running as long as possible so please avoid vivid descriptions of violence, sexual scenes, and excessive use of foul language. We are open to dark themes but know if another player feels uncomfortable, we may ask you to tone down or remove elements. The plot of the roleplay does play on the ideas of "blood purity" but please don't go overboard with the alienation of characters since it can be emotionally draining.
[ ACTIVITY. ]
We're trying to shoot for a new post every week to a new post every two weeks - in general. That means we're just happy if a post is made once a week, not forcing you to post once a week! We're a laid back group who just wants to enjoy making friends and coming up with plots as well as writing. Discord will be a requirement while Tupperbot will not be. We're going to have cute Question of the Day/Week for In-character interactions and have Group Chats set up for fun times. We also have a google doc for quick and easy access to characters and trying to streamline the plotting process. That being said, we want people who are willing to strike conversations outside of the roleplay itself.
[ CHARACTERS. ]
This roleplay uses face claims of real people only, which means nothing from animated shows, semi-realistic, or ai generated. Although students are over the age of 18 and in college, we are capping student ages to 24 while professors can be as young as 27. Playable characters unfortunately won't be directly related to canon characters, just to make things easier for roleplay lore, but NPCs can if not directly connected to PCs.
Special conditions, such as seer, lycanthropy, parselmouth, etc will be limited to only one student and one professor character as of the beginning of the roleplay. We may expand in a later time. If you see a condition that is missing, let us know and we'll at it to the list!
SEER — 1/1 student — 1/1 staff
ANIMAGUS — 1/1 student — 0/1 staff
LYCANTHROPY — 1/1 student — 1/1 staff
LEGILIMENS — 0/1 student — 1/1 staff
QUARTER GIANT — 0/1 student — 0/1 staff
QUARTER VEELA — 1/1 student — 0/1 staff
METAMORPHMAGUS — 1/1 student — 1/1 staff
PARSELMOUTH — 1/1 student — 0/1 staff
[ APPLICATION . ]
A slightly different process than usual, we're requiring "applications" in the reserve process. Instead of placing a normal reserve in CS, we want to get to know you a little and what character(s) you'd like to have in the roleplay. A post reaction from me means you're approved to start your character sheet. Both the reservation and character skeletons are provided in the CS thread and you can use any code you'd like. We are requiring samples but you can just link your most recent post on RPN.
[ POSTING . ]
Posting is important but real life and your mental health is #1 priority. We're not deadline people so don't worry. Instead, if a character "owes" a post, we'll have it in a list in case you forget it's your turn. (It's mostly so I don't forget it's my turn) I like to have a google document that has a single sentence summary of every post so if you have to go MIA for a long period, you can always catch up that way. Extensions are always granted and hiatus of a character or during the timeskip are always given.

Is Hogwarts still location-locked? (Does my character have to be British?)
No! You can have your character be from any part of the world. Just make sure to add why they decided to go to Hogwarts in your character's background.
Is there a character limit?
For now, we're allowing accepted players to add a character in each category first.
