What's your breaking point?

18 + Selective First Wizarding War RP. Before there was Lord Voldemort there was the man, Tom Riddle. With a great thirst for immortality, there is no telling what lengths He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named will go through to assure his longevity. With an army...

Hello Friends & Family of Riddle’s Regime,

Our re-vamp is underway. We are working on re-hauling biographies, layouts for the pages, graphics, and planning some epic plot lines. It will take us some time before we are ready for the reveal, but we’re working consistently and hope to get it done in a timely fashion.

In any event, please un-follow everyone on your character blog(s) and follow only the following blogs:

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin

Selina Sapworthy

Regulus Black

Marlene McKinnon

Seraphina Crabbe

Emmeline Vance

Alice Longbottom

Mary MacDonald

Lucinda Talkalot

Narcissa Malfoy

Lucius Malfoy

Vincent Crabbe

Rita Skeeter

Elis Greengrass

Alastor Moody

Fabian Prewett

Ashling Diggory

Evan Rosier

Gideon Prewett

Lily Evans

Andromeda Tonks

Abraxas Malfoy

Severus Snape

Amycus Carrow

James Potter

Annie Nott

Dorcas Meadowes

Bellatrix Lestrange

Lord Voldemort

Albus Dumbledore

Thank you to everyone who directly contacted us with interest of returning!

New prompt and confessions blogs will be made.

WITH THAT SAID-- We need help! As you can see, there are 31 characters currently taken. Out of those 31, only FOUR are a person of color and only ONE is a Hufflepuff! This isn’t necessarily anyone’s fault as those that we had as a POC or Hufflepuff were not taken/did not return. While we will be including Hufflepuffs and POCs in our open characters, we really want to make this RP as diverse as possible. SOoooOooo-- for anyone who would be willing to switch their character to a Hufflepuff or a person of color, please please message us and let us know!

We thank you for our patience throughout our hiatus and as we work hard on getting things in order! During this wait-time, feel free to continue plots. As indicated, please do not go past New Years of 1979.

While we are keeping the overall plot the same and the biographies have the same/very similar personality outlines as our original biographies, we do ask that everyone remain as adaptable as possible to new plot lines. Don’t get scared, we won’t ever change who your character is without your consent, but we will be throwing you for a loop in terms of plot drops and prompts! We said this from the beginning-- expect the unexpected. It is war. We will absolutely be implementing some new ideas that can change the course of different plots. So please do your best to be open-minded and adaptable :) It will push us as writers and make the plot exciting for the long-term.

Major plot changes will be discussed with individual players as the RP gets going. Without giving away too much yet (we want there to be a big reveal moment), things are going to be exciting and different. We hope that our changes will keep an active dash and interest new players!

Make sure you let us know ASAP if you will be changing your FC or anything about your character’s biography skeleton (individualized plots do not need to be included here. We will simply be re-doing what we already had in the original biographies, so they are quite basic but we think you will like them :D).  We are working on getting those written so we can release them when everything is set.

Don’t hesitate to message us with questions or concerns and we will do our best to get back to you in a timely fashion! :)

Can’t wait for this to start up again! 

xo, Summer & Autumn

Hello Riddle’s family!!!

The time has come. Real life has slowed down for the admins and we finally feel ready to tackle this lovely little group again :)

We will be re-vamping! 

What we need to know is who is still here and willing to remain a part of the group. Please message us by Saturday, July 30th. As the main layout is currently a hold page, you will have to message or send us an ask from the dashboard. If you have two characters, but would prefer to only keep one, please let us know by then as well. Remember, activity will be strict for those with two characters once we reopen.

We will be working on some updates and changes to the group. The overall plot will stay the same and any taken bio of those that want to stay will stay the same (though we will be working on re-formatting). However, there will be twists and turns that will be unique to Riddle’s Regime!

Feel free to continue your current threads! We do not yet have a set re-opening date as it will take us some time to re-think the open bios and formatting, work on the layout, and work on the other ideas we have, but we will make another post when we are closer to that time. We will then suggest you wrap up any current threads and plots so we can all partake in our new and exciting ideas. :)

Hopefully this sounds good to everyone! Let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Hello Riddle’s Regime Family!

Things have been quite slow around Riddle’s Regime for a couple of weeks. This is something we take partial responsibility for in not being active members ourselves. With life pulling us in a number of directions, it has been difficult to find the time that is needed to dedicate to the group. Running a successful and active group takes effort every single day, and unfortunately at this current point we simply do not have the time or energy to dedicate to maintain an active group.

So, we will be taking a hiatus. 

What does this mean?

We will be “shutting down” temporarily; we will not be actively advertising, conducting activity checks, posting confessions, posting memes or challenges, or coming up with new plots. However, we put so much time and effort into this RP and we do not wish to permanently leave it behind. Therefore, we plan on re-opening with a big sort of “revamp” (likely nothing major will change plot wise) when we feel comfortable with our schedules and can find the time to dedicate to this group.

While this is sad news for many of us, we do highly encourage those of you that wish to stick around to continue writing, completing old prompts and challenges, and interacting with one another. We encourage you to write up until December 1978. When we return, we will be starting in January 1979.

We hope everyone can understand that right now, we are simply not in the right place to continue this RP. We believe real-life always comes first and we’d really like to take care of things in our personal lives before we dedicate time to this once again.

Of course, we will leave the Skype chat and OOC side-blog open and we encourage an open-line of communication to continue between members and with us. We consider all of you good friends and we would love to continue a friendship with everyone!

Thank you for understanding, Riddle’s Regime Admins

Fabian Prewett

[riddlesregime]

Congratulations, Charlie! Your application for Fabian Prewett was awesome and you have been accepted :D

Click here for what you should do now :)

We could tell you’d really thought over this character and we loved the ways you made him unique, like his stutter, for instance. We enjoyed that you didn’t have him become a carbon copy of his twin or someone who didn’t have any desires or interests of his own. The fact that you distinguished him so well and made him interesting and lovable absolutely sold us!

One part of your application we loved was here:

The hard gulp was audible, it was a far-fetched idea but he loved to write, fiction as well as writing about the magic he was experimenting with. He flirted with the idea of writing a textbook if he ever developed any spells, counter-jinx, or hexes worth noting. “I know it won’t pay the bills.” The Prewetts weren’t exceptionally wealthy and money wasn’t that much important to him. “I can make a decent living at curse breaking, use it try out my stuff and write in my spare time. I’ve thought it all out.” Fabian smiled at her politely hoping to get a positive reaction.

We adore him! Welcome to your new role in Riddle’s Regime!

Walburga Black

[riddlesregime]

Congratulations, Mads! Your application for Walburga Black was freaking increaible and you have been accepted :D

Click here for what you should do now :)

From the first few lines of your para, we were hooked and there was no going back! There is no doubt in our mind that you can write, and we absolutely loved your portrayal of Mrs Walburga Black. The mix of her malicious intent with her self-righteous attitude was spot on and beautifully displayed. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more! We’re ridiculously excited to have you on board!

One part of your application we loved was here:

The words caught Walburga’s attention, and she peered down at the man with renewed interest. Kneeling at his side—carefully tucking her robes underneath her knees, out of range of the tacky blood—she studied his face almost hungrily, searching for something only she could find.  After a moment, Walburga’s lips parted into an overripe smile.

  “Seems as though you’re not only an imbecile, but a doomed one.”

Bewilderment bloomed in the man’s eyes, but before it could fully blossom, Walburga’s concealed wand flared as the spell curled around her tongue: Avada Kedavra.

 The form slumped in a flash of emerald light, and Walburga rose back to her feet, her smile widening, and she turned her back on the body, much as she would any other piece of filth.

“Clean up the trash before you punish yourself, Kreacher,” the Mistress of 12 Grimmauld Place instructed. “I don’t want the carpet soiled any further.”

Absolutely brilliant, there are no words! Welcome to Riddle’s Regime!

[riddlesregime]

Ashling Diggory

[riddlesregime]

Congratulations, Faith! Your application for Ashling Diggory was absolutely steupendous and you have been accepted :D

Click here for what you should do now :)

Oh my gosh, Faith! You did a beautiful job carving out the character of Ashling from the bio that we presented you with. We loved the way you took aspects of her personality and blew them up and detailed them so perfectly to make a gorgeous, fragile delight of a character! It was evident from the outset that you loved the idea of this character and as we read and you kept pouring out headcanons and characterizations there was no way we could say no.

One part of your application we loved was here:

She had to make a choice—needed to decide before it was too late. She was lucky she’d stayed out of the fight and out of sight this long, and she needed to make up her mind all on her own. She knew what side her parents and the rest of her pureblooded family would choose, and now it was time for her to do the same, or resign to losing everything she held dear all too soon. She saw a cloud of black smoke in her peripheral vision, and turned to face her fate. She looked dead into a death eater’s mask for the first time, and tried to swallow the fear that coiled in her belly like an agitated snake. Join them, or attack. She had two options. She tightened her grip on her wand, and prayed for the best. Her arm shot forward with the silent incantation of her spell and as her family flashed once more before her eyes, she hoped with everything in her that it would be enough.

Amazing! Come on over here and welcome to Riddle’s Regime!
