ayyyyyyyyyy it’s me taylor back @ again with the intro posts. this one is less about rab’s personality and more about his backstory bc i didn’t write a bio for him yet and tbh i’m probs not going to, so click dat read more to u know read more about this asshat (u know the drill, come plot w/ me pretty pls)
was that MATTHEW DADDARIO walking around the halls of hogwarts? i wish it was them, but it was really just RABASTAN LESTRANGE, the SEVENTEEN year old SEVENTH year student at hogwarts. they come from a PUREBLOOD family, and people tend to describe them as CHARISMATIC, SELF-SUFFICIENT, ALOOF and ABRASIVE. they can be seen around hogwarts hanging in the SLYTHERIN common room and in THE POTIONS CLASSROM. i hear they’re planning on JOINING THE DEATH EATERS once the war starts and that they’re planning on KEEPING QUIET ABOUT IT. i can’t wait to see how this turns out for them.
u know the drill, u can find his stats page right here friendos, but here’s some more in depth info
rabastan silas lestrange is a lil gemini bby, born on may 29th
although there is only a year between him and his older brother, rodolphus got all of the attention in lestrange household, and rabastan was shoved to the side. there were expectations that both brothers were held to, pureblood expectations that the brothers met with flying colors, attending events and maintaining an air of respectability like all sacred 28 families were expected to do
rabastan and his father were never close, the patriarch of the lestrange family caring more about preparing the eldest son than bothering with his younger child, but him and his mom were extremely close. the two of them often read books together, attended performances in downtown london, and grew even closer as rabastan grew older.
his mother’s affection was never enough, however, and he constantly craved his father’s adoration, basing every little decision off of what his father would think about it
this craving culminated in his sorting hat decision
rabastan is the definition of a ravenclaw; wise, intelligent, creative, independent. and when the hat was placed on his head, it was stuck on its decision between ravenclaw or slytherin. however, rabastan’s pleading and praying landed him a slytherin sort, despite the hat’s warning that he would’ve done better in ravenclaw
in school, rabastan received high marks, lots of praise from his teachers (especially slughorn), and a prefect position, but it still wasn’t enough to please his father
however, in the summer before his sixth year, an opportunity came to get in his fathers good graces that rabastan refused to let pass by
rabastan had never been extremely passionate about the whole deatheater thing. he didn’t quite understand why muggleborns were hated so strongly by members of his immediate and extended family, but his father offered him a chance to go on a mission for the dark lord, and rabastan immediately signed up
this mission resulted in rabastan killing a muggleborn wizard and their two parents, his first murder occurring before he was even 17 years old. this hardened rabastan, made him colder and a more secretive of a person, and sparked his nicotine addiction.
immediately after committing this murder, rabastan received his darkmark
currently, rabastan is still the same smartass he was before, just with a colder attitude towards life. he’s a super lothario and his grades are as stellar as ever, but the secret he holds and forcing to be committed to something he doesn’t believe in is slowly eating him alive inside.
okay fun facts:
rabastan took his newt for potions super early, got an o, and is now a teaching assistant in slughorn’s class – he loves potions
rabastan is pansexual
rabastan can often be found in the potions classroom or outside, leaning against a tree, reading
the only reason he is not on the quidditch team is because he is afraid of flying
he is a prefect because of how close he is with slughorn due to his mastery of potions, not because he’s at all good at his job
he has a tattoo of the constellation draco on his lower stomach
hello babes! it’s just vee (she/her), you’re friendly neighbourhood trash queen! listen, i don’t know if you understand just how hyped i am for this rp but i am really really psyched about it. the marauders era was gold and i will forever be craving a book series about their time at hogwarts.
was that AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON walking around the halls of hogwarts? i wish it was them, but it was really just JAMES POTTER, the SEVENTEEN year old SEVENTH year student at hogwarts. they come from a PURE BLOOD family, and people tend to describe them as CHARISMATIC, LOYAL, MISCHIEVOUS and ARROGANT. they can be seen around hogwarts hanging in the GRYFFINDOR common room and in THE QUIDDITCH PITCH. i hear they’re planning on JOINING THE ORDER once the war starts and that they’re planning on MAKING IT KNOWN TO PEOPLE. i can’t wait to see how this turns out for them.
i know this is long enough but i’ve got a more detailed mess of thoughts right here that you can read. it’s messy AF but it’s got fun head canons and details about his life and shit that would make this intro even longer then it is.
the only child to fleamont and euphemia potter. they ADORED their boy because he was kind of a miracle baby. after nearly giving up on ever having kids, james came along and they doted on their boy and just loved and adored him to freaking pieces.
he comes from a pureblood family. his mom and dad are hella rich because his dad is this super successful potioneer and his mom works for the ministry.
he spent many vacations in paris, france. it’s where his mom grew up and she taught james french from when he was really young so he is fluent. he knows how to say all the dirty shit you’ve ever wanted to know, okay.
he’s arrogant as hell but like in that self confident way. he doesn’t think he’s above anyone because he has money or cause he’s pureblooded or any of that shit. he just knows he’s awesome lol. it comes from a place of confidence not inferiority.
he’s that guy who’s always fidgeting or moving. he’s got a lot of energy inside of him and he finds it hard to stay still for long periods of time. you’ll always find him bouncing his leg in the middle of class or drumming his fingers long his desk or doodling on the insides of his parchment, just to give himself something to do.
FOREVER MESSING UP HIS HAIR DAMMIT
a gryffindor through and through.
some big shit happened over the summer before sixth year that really effected james. he lost that completely carefree (basically to the point of recklessness, let’s be real) part of her personality and pushed him to mature. you can go to my more detailed bio thing if you wanna know the dirty details k or you know, come ask me.
buddy is hella smart. most things just come really easy to him and that can be a real piss off to some people, but like, ur boy is just a straight up gifted wizard. transfiguration is his very best subject.
biggest quidditch nerd you’ve ever met in your life! he lives it, loves it, breathes it. he’s a chaser and a captain and just freaking kick ass on the pitch and honestly will go off on strategy and shit for hours if you let him.
his parents bought him a broom when he was really young and he has been hooked on flying ever since. whenever he’s mad or pissy or just needs space or whatever, you can pretty much always find him on the pitch flying around.
most loyal friend you’re ever gonna get. would literally throw himself in front of a killing curse rather then turn on his friends. he’d do anything for his friends without even blinking. mess with his friends, with his boys and he’s on you so fast.. look out
highkey against anything to do with dark magic and won’t hesitate to call out anyone who messes around with it. he’s gonna be an auror dammit.
during the animagus process, it’s required that you hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth for an entire month. during that time, it was james’ idea for himself, peter and sirius to wear chalk boards around their necks as a way of communicating, using all sorts of witty jabs such as ‘were showing you how empty and drab your lives would be without our genius and beautiful voices’ and ‘we think the verbal requirements of school are ridiculous’ to distract from the real fact they weren’t speaking.
he was made head boy for seventh year, despite never being a prefect but excelling in so many other aspects.
james has always been a risk taker. he’s always been attracted to the possible danger of a situation, the very risk of it being more then half of the fun. what’s life without a little risk.
james has always fought for the rights of the muggleborns, his parents too. in fact, many of the elitist pureblood families, look down at the potter’s for their belief that muggle borns and half bloods deserve all the same rights. the use of the m word in front of james is a sure way to get hexed six ways to sunday.
A FREAKING UNREGISTERED ANIMAGUS, OKAY. WHAT A GUY. WHAT A MAN. WHAT A STAG.
what’s up guys gals and non-binary pals!! ( yes that’s me paraphrasing thomas sanders lol oops ) first of all I’M SUPER HYPE FOR THIS RP, aight now that’s out of the way i’m myah! i’m 24, go by she/her, and am a huge nerd for all things marauders era, so you bet your cute lil bums i’m excited to be here!
below the cut is some stuff about pandora ( or as i call her, panda ) but i’ve also got an about page here, and my connections page here! (both are a bit bare bones rn sorry!)
okay so here we go!! some facts and headcanons about my babe
she’s a lot like luna in some ways (similar personality, though a bit more sociable) and physically luna is almost a complete mini me of her mum (which is honestly so heartbreaking but those are headcanons for another time)
in some ways she’s not like luna though, she’s quite a bit more vocal than luna typically is, and when it concerns topics she’s passionate about, she will happily go on rants for about eight hours straight
she’s kind of like a total flower child/hippie? she loves wearing flowers in her hair and flowy dresses and she’s honestly just so kind and loving and chooses to see the best in people
she’s pan, which means she loves any and all sex/genders, and she’s the kind of person who loves and loves and loves and doesn’t know how to stop, she honestly thinks all that love is just going to come pouring out of her chest one of these days ( she likes to think that would look like daisies and sunflowers bursting from her heart with a rainbow in the background, told you she was a hippie )
like a typical ravenclaw, pandora is very intelligent and witty, and she’s proficient in all the academic areas, but she absolutely thrives in charms and potions, and often enough she can be found studying both subjects outside of the classroom
SHE LOVES ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ASTRONOMY RELATED siriusly she’s such an astrophile and if you can’t find her in the common room or the library she is 99% likely to be in the astronomy tower, whether or not it’s dark outside (she loves astronomy and stars and space so much she named her cat aurora like what a dork)
she also finds divination quite fascinating, and while she certainly doesn’t have ‘the gift’ she is generally interested in both the class and the subject, she likes practicing with tea leaf readings and tarot cards occasionally
even though she’s a half-blood, her parents and most of her family are magical in some form or another, so she hasn’t spent much time around muggles, and it’s because of this that she’s quite interested in them, and she loves learning about all their technology, and she’s so intrigued by all the things they are capable of doing (she finds planes FASCINATING like how on earth is magic not involved they’re literally levitating!!)
that being said, it’s probably obvious where she stands on blood purity, and she honestly has no time for any of this pureblood elitism, try and tell her that muggleborns and half-bloods are any less competent than purebloods and she will shut you down
she doesn’t believe in the whole house stigma thing, she’s just as happy being friends with slytherins and hufflepuffs as she is ravenclaws and gryffindors, as long as someone has a kind heart and good intentions that’s all she cares about
though she’s very passionate about a lot of things, she’s still quite timid and introverted, her voice is light and airy and she mumbles under her breath a lot and she just has so much to say but at times it just never comes out quite the right way
okay so that’s about it for now! i’m sure you’ll be seeing loads more headcanons from me about my child, but for now please feel free to message me about plots and things!!
⎈ [ jordan connor, cis male, he/him ] something wicked this way comes! is that aaron bishop? the twenty six year old warlock who others often describe as pragmatic and energetic but i hear can also be aloof and arrogant. he has been a part of the founder coven for eight years. when i think of them i usually think of rooftops, shelves replete with old recognition awards, sleepless nights, the satisfaction of saying “i told you so”, daytime moons and how proficient they are in telepathy. hope they haven’t made any enemies as of late.
｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ hello! it’s mar here ( mar#5651 in discord ), i’m 18 and in the gmt+2 timezone - oh yeah, and i’ll be writing aaron. i’ll see if i write a biography for him, but in the meantime, here are some points about him
『 BACKSTORY 』
❈ aaron is an only child. he grew up not extremely spoiled, but certainly highly loved by his parents.
❈ as a kid, he was somewhat of a ringleader. he had a knack for persuading people - young kids, especially - given his silver tongue and boldness. he was the type to convince others to climb to the highest part of the playground no matter how reckless or dangerous it seemed. he would constantly come home with scraped knees and not be fazed by it.
❈ his teenage years were his golden ones. aaron had proved to be a clever kid, but it was during his time in middle school and high school, around the time his powers began developing, that he realized he’d be a fool if he didn’t profit off of the magic in his blood. he was an above-average student with an enviable academic performance and when topped with his involvement in clubs and teams, it made his name resonate. he was the football team linebacker, student council president, math olympiad champion and debate club president. the thing is, a lot of it was bullshit. his proficiency in telepathy handed him his fame, allowing him to access answers, game strategies and the like from others’ heads. tl;dr: he was a cheat through and through. however, he was a charming and clever one - how could he not be, when he was telling people exactly what they wanted to hear?
❈ now, possessing such useful skill showered him with advantages and gifts. he was no idiot, and so he kept it a secret in order to exploit it as much as he could. when he was done with high school, he joined the founder coven. he 100% believed that being so open about ones’ powers would get them killed ( or, in his case, humiliated and stripped off all the privileges he’d gotten for himself ), so being unwilling to jeopardize this comfortable safety, he joined the founder coven ( as it’s known, the founder coven encourages witches, wixen, and wizards to keep their abilities secret or suppressed, whereas new salem supports a more vocal, open approach in which wixen are taught to involve their powers in their everyday lives ).
↘ suddenly BOOM - it all backfired. the founder coven’s beliefs regarding secrecy and conservativism didn’t sit well with him. without his powers, what would become of him? he’s bullshitted his way through everything to the point where nothing is real, and he fears that staying with the founders will get him stuck, or land him in a position he will not enjoy in the slightest. so now, what is there to do? he’s considered joining the new salem coven, yet has kept quiet about these plans and thoughts ( even more so after one of the founding witches was burned at the stake ). he’s continued to use his powers at his own discretion, but then again, how long is the fun going to last him before the founder coven finds out? ON THE OTHER HAND (!), there’s still that voice at the back of his mind that has him clutching onto the safety provided and preached by the founders ( who’s to say that new salem’s unrestricted and reckless mindset won’t make him the next one to die at the stake? )
» FRIENDS: could be within the founder coven, but i’m open to him having secret friendships from the new salem coven too!
» ENEMIES: maybe they are rubbed the wrong way by the each other’s beliefs or attitude? maybe they are very competitive? maybe one sour interaction led to them not getting along right away, and now they can’t stand the sight of the other?
» OTHERS: exes? one night stands? estranged friendships? connections within the founder coven? literally everything else.
⎈ [ benjamin wadsworth, cis man, he/him ] something wicked this way comes! is that connor whelan? the twenty year old warlock who others often describe as outgoing and honest but i hear can also be arrogant and facetious. he has been a part of the new salem coven for six months. when i think of them i usually think of stale cigarette smoke, an unmade bed, water coming to a boil, crackling joints and how proficient they are in mind manipulation. hope they haven’t made any enemies as of late.
ayyy it’s abby again, back with a second character – your future problematic fave connor. as usual all the deets are under the cut
connor, the son of a bitch, is severely lacking in the loyalty department – also in empathy, sensitivity, and patience. his friends would call him live fast, die young (if he had any anymore), and everyone else calls him a facetious asshole. if there’s any depth below that, it’s hidden hidden under layers of cigarette smoke and well-placed jabs. he excels in pissing people off just enough for them to lash out, and then disappearing for several days
his upbringing was remarkably unremarkable, as far as raising warlocks go. connor’s an only child, born to two mid-level founding coven members and raised with the idea that their leaders’ word was law, and it was a witch’s or warlock’s born duty to act in the best interest of the coven. connor, frankly, as no interest in acting for anyone’s interest except himself – and even then, his actions don’t always spell it out.
so, he saw through the bullshit around 17 or 18, but his life was comfortable. he went to school, he fucked around with his friends after, and went home to his parents in their nice little house on their quiet residential street.
except, that wasn’t enough. soon, connor and his friends – other warlocks, witches, and wix typically discontent with the coven, too – started getting bolder with their magic. they only ever earned slaps on the wrist, and nothing more than a week’s worth of grounding from his parents, but it was enough to let the resentment fester.
six months ago, connor was tapped by the new salem coven, and converted shortly after. he doesn’t know if he ever would’ve abandoned the founding coven if his now-mentor hadn’t reached out – for reasons he still doesn’t know – but he tries not to dwell on it for too long, or the bridges he burned by abandoning his allegiance.
wanted connections !!
ex friends – connor’s pissed off a lot of people, but these are the friends in particular he abandoned by joining the new salem coven. i’d die for the bitterness and curt words and lingering looks and uuuuugh. bonus points if this includes any ex-romantic connections
fwb – more on that here, but i was definitely thinking this is something that can evolve. because i live for that angst i would sell my firstborn child for the person he’s sleeping with to be from the founding coven, and it’s the one tie he just can’t sever; alternatively, they’re someone who’s inducted him into the new salem cousin and bc of that he trusts them
new salem connections – people who greeted connor, inducted him, showed him the ropes; basically people he trusts or leans on, who’ve made him feel more welcomed in the new salem coven than he ever felt with the founding coven.
influences – bad or good; people who encourage his worst behaviours or try to elucidate his best qualities; tbh connor needs both and i’d die for either
as usual like this if u wanna plot & i’ll love you down !!
was that DYLAN O’BRIEN walking around the halls of hogwarts? i wish it was them, but it was really just THEODORE TONKS, the SEVENTEEN year old SEVENTH year student at hogwarts. they come from a MUGGLEBORN family, and people tend to describe them as PASSIONATE, DISCERNING, INSECURE and DUPABLE. they can be seen around hogwarts hanging in the HUFFLEPUFF common room and in THE HERBOLOGY CLASSROOM. i hear they’re planning on REMAINING NEUTRAL once the war starts and that they’re planning on KEEPING QUIET ABOUT IT. i can’t wait to see how this turns out for them.
hello hello. my names kay, i’m in pst timezone, and i play this soft cinnamon roll. i’ve played ted before so i have mucho love for him xx
theodore edward tonks ( ted ) was raised by his muggle parents in a small village in godstone, surrey, england. he was the youngest and only son; having three sisters. his mum sort of babied him growing up, which did not sit well with his sisters. the three girls were relentless with their teasing. they made little ted the butt-end of their jokes and silly pranks, but he did alright. they caused him to grow a thick skin.
when he received his hogwarts letter his dad nearly threw it away. muttering something like, “it’s rubbish”. it took minerva mcgonagall, herself, to inform the news to the tonks. ted still remembers his mum nearly falling backwards out of shock. thankfully, his parents were quite accepting after that. his sisters though? not so much.
it wasn’t until he was older that he realized exactly why his sisters were so vile. it was out of mere jealousy. it started with their mum giving him all the attention as a child, and then quickly manifested further when they found out he possessed magic. he was the only sibling, after all, to have the gift. green was a nasty color on them, and though it took ted years to forgive, he did.
hogwarts was mind boggling. he was like a kid in a candy store, all wide-eyed and buoyant. though it was all fascinating, he had a shit-ton of catching up to do academically. luckily for him, he was sorted into hufflepuff -- the just and loyal. there, he was welcomed by his fellow badgers and a new home. his sweet nature and goofy smile gained little ted many admirers from all houses.
however not everyone was friendly. no, he was quickly introduced to the ugly term 'mudblood' and it stung. he didn’t like what the word meant one bit. still, ted was not a fighter and he often took the bullying without any resistance.
the moment he got on a broom was the moment he felt like he truly belonged. it was frightening as hell at first, but once he got the hang of it, no one could stop him from soaring high through the air. it was his own solace away from all the noise. and then ignited his conquest. he began pestering all his peers about quidditch. needing to know everything there was about the sport. it was new and exhilarating, and when ted wanted to master something, he dived in head first. it was during his third year, that he made hufflepuffs team as chaser. he wasn’t the teams obvious first choice — at least not with his short stature and thin frame ( before his growth spurt obv ), but his technique and fast reflexes were indistinguishable.
now onto his personality: he has a soft soul. kind, open-minded, passionate, —too loyal for his own good. he tries his hardest to see the best in everyone, something that usually backfires in his face. this soft spot makes him easily fooled by others. my boy is just so damn naive. despite this, ted will go to great lengths to help his friends. he cannot stand for anyone being mistreated. it’s just when things are pointed at himself that he takes the blows.
when talk is spurred around the upcoming war, he goes mute. nearly begging for anyone else to take charge of the conversation and never once adds his own inquiry. ted would rather be in denial than face the fact that his world is in turmoil. it’s a bit of a defense mechanism? he doesn’t favor conflict, but it is only a matter of time before he will be forced to pick a side . . . he just wants everyone to make it out alive.
AS FOR CONNECTIONS?
follow this link for the plot bunnies ! legit, ted needs all the connections tbh, so pls hit me uppp
hi hello friends, time for the introduction post y’all have been waiting for!
the name is tori, one of your admins, using the angel you see here, daisy ridley everywhere bc i can’t get enough. i am 21, in the est timezone and literally have no freakin life my friends except for this month where i am wildly busy. i work for my family’s company, so a lot of the time i just work from home meaning a lot of the time i am here or at the moment am a live in nanny for my cousins (6 and 9) so its wild. but enough about me. y’all are here for marlene so let me tell you about this hot mess.
was that PENELOPE MITCHELL walking around the halls of hogwarts? i wish it was them, but it was really just MARLENE MCKINNON, the SEVENTEEN year old SEVENTH year student at hogwarts. they come from a PUREBLOOD family, and people tend to describe them as CONFIDENT, INDEPENDENT, BLUNT and SHORT TEMPERED. they can be seen around hogwarts hanging in the GRYFFINDOR common room and in THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT. i hear they’re planning on JOINING THE ORDER once the war starts and that they’re planning on MAKING IT KNOWN TO PEOPLE. i can’t wait to see how this turns out for them.
first and foremost, my girl is a total shit show half the time. she lives with the motto of shit is going down so might as well have fun and it doesn’t always work out for her. consequences are not something that she thinks about. they mean nothing in the long run for marlene. so often you’ll see her breaking at least 3 school rules before breakfast.
she does feel bad for losing house points, and tries her hardest not to get caught for that sole reason. but it does help when the head girl is your dormate.
speaking of her dormates, lbr, they are the female marauders. the most kickass girl gang. (of course i’m flexiable if any of the muns are not a fan of that idea i’m down to change it. it’s just my starting headcanon for marls.)
she would fuck up any one who laid a hand (physical or metaphorical) on any one of her friends so jot that down
marlene is joining the order. she isn’t shy about it. she’s ready to fight with them now, if it weren’t for school, she’d be jumping at every mission and every opportunity she has for the order.
she’s in the dueling club, mainly to learn to fight, but also to cast hexes on the people she doesn’t like without getting in trouble for it.
nails painted red 24/7, docs always on no matter what the weather, season, dress code, does not matter. hair is a mess. leather jacket always close behind. cigarette in hand. killing the fashion game, let's be real here. but don’t let the chaotic mess fool you. my girl is an instagram queen. she learned about it recently, but definitely thinks it’s the best part of muggle technology. she loves it.
steer clear of her anger, because it will swallow her whole and anyone who is standing too close by.
marlene loves hard and fast. she is a whirlwind of a person and if you can’t keep up you will be left in her dust.
she will die for her friends, (SHE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BETRAY HER FRIENDS). i head canon that she is harry’s god mother (of course that’s flexible ofc) her goal in life is to be the vodka aunt everyone wants to be.
but also sad : marlene died trying to protect james and lily’s secret. she died right before harry’s first birthday while they were in hiding and voldemort thought she was their secret keeper. he tortured her, and her family but my girl went down so lily and james could live.
her emotions are fierce and strong and will blow her rational thinking out of the water. she is defensive and brash and crude but she is loyal till the end and will lay down her life before her friend is hurt. she will have your back no matter what is happening because she loves so ferociously that sometimes she can't even breathe. she will tell you exactly what you need to hear in the moment and be unapologetic about it, because she'd rather give it to you straight than watch you make a mistake that will hurt you in the future. all in all, having marlene mckinnon on your side is better than having her against you.
as for connections right now i’d love to see;;
friends (any kind will do honestly not picky at all)
