Triwizard Champions - VOTING NOW OPEN!

[Hollywood Heidi]

Characters can put their names into the Goblet of Fire until June 15th.  After that, we'll have a poll open for a week.  Everyone will be able to vote for two of the characters in the poll.  It will be a blind poll (nobody will be able to see who voted) and this thread will be locked so that no comments can be made.  Please don't announce who you're voting for and please let everyone have a fair chance.  No pleading or coercing outside of gameplay.  Let your characters speak for themselves in the RPG gaming area through thoughts, feelings, and interactions with others.

Remember that should your character not win the votes, you will still have the opportunity to participate in the games by creating a character from one of the other three wizarding schools!  We have guaranteed spots for everyone wanting to be in it and probably enough for most of you to play TWO champions!

As I mentioned in the Plots thread, characters you create from the other schools can be supporting characters, meaning you don't have to post for them often and can keep it mostly to tournament game time but you cannot keep other characters stuck.


Hogwarts Nominees:
1. Adriana "Dray" Lopez
2. Darleena Lestrange
3. Morgana Parkinson
4. Sirius Black

---

Beauxbaton Champions:
1. Cami Laroux
2. Nicolette “Coco” Meilleur

Ilvermory Champions
1. Scarlett Stark
2. Shane Hudson

Alright everyone! Majority has voted that they be able to write here why they feel their character should be picked along with any plans or ideas you have that revolve around the tournament.

Looks like we still have a Beauxbaton slot still open if anybody is interested and non-Champion supporting characters from the other schools are also welcome!

Let’s see if we can get this completed by a week’s time! As soon as everyone has posted, I’ll create the poll at the top of this thread!

Okay, it seems like no one dares to start...
 
So I’m going to do it!


I would like Sirius to be an active member of the Tournament because he loves competitions and any kind of sports. He’s a little adventurer – I’m sure his grandfather and his friends would be very proud of him. (If they were still alive)


Furthermore, I have two possible Plots in mind:


1. His friendship with Shane from Ilvermorny

Although he wanted to meet him in private after lunch, he won’t tell him the truth. (Or to be honest: I think so, but I’m not sure what my character is going to do in the end!) So there could be some scenes during the Tournament when Shane notices similarities between Emily and his old friend Sirius. It would become more and more difficult for him to keep on pretending to be a girl. And maybe other students would start to be leery, too.


2. Sirius and the girls (especially Cami)

Like most young man and woman, Sirius begins to be interested in other people in a romantic way or something like that. He has a crush on Cami from the very beginning. But the girl from Beauxbaton has to think that he is also a girl. That would make things difficult if he wants to get closer to her. (In his mind – even if there are two girls in love among the students now...)



If I forgot something or something else will pass through my mind, I’ll add it later.


And now - it's your turn!

I have three characters who have put their name into the goblet: Cami from beauxbaton, Shane from Ilvermorny and Morgana from Hogwarts. Cami has entered because she wants to try and win for her family to help save the farm, Shane has entered because there has yet to be a competition that he has lost and Morgana has no idea that she has entered. Now, plots for these three that I have in mind:

1. Morgana/Ellie/Ash - So Ash has slipped some sort of control potion into Morgana's drink, so she unknowingly has thrown her name into the goblet at the hand of Ash. He plans on following a similar scheme with what happened with Harry and Cedric where he would somehow transport Morgana mid competition via portkey somewhere exclusive so that he can begin to fulfill the prophecy that was passed to Morgana and Ellie. Than wouldn't be long after that he would try and steal away Ellie as well. For more info on the prophecy, it's in full detail on Ash's bio. I also would love to explore Morgana and Ellie's discovery of one another as well, long lost sisters coming together and all! DarkSideCookie

2. Shane/Sirius "Emily" - I love this plot Anduin ! I wonder of Sirius would let Shane get close enough to "Emily" for them to become friends, with their friendly past and all. Sirius might feel a bit reminiscent of his former life? The closer they get, the more Shane might find out about Emily and his suspicion would grow.

3. Cami/Staffan - Lady Lee-o if you're open to it, I would love to start a spark between these two! I feel Cami would become smitten with him and would hate it, so she would play hard to get. But I could see the Prince winning her heart even if either of them don't get picked for the tournament, I think it would be fun to play out!

[DarkSideCookie]

Oh wait, are we supposed to write a plot idea for our other school participants as well? I thought those would be kind of save as for getting chosen without a voting. Please feel free to correct me and I start writing something for Dimi. ^^

[DarkSideCookie]

Also, if no one is interested in the second Beauxbaton slot, I might create another student. :-) Already would have something in mind.

Here's a little preview of a rather nontypical Beauxbaton student lol. Would love to finally bring my girl as a FC in.

I could also imagine a friendship to develop between her and Sirius during the Tournament, regardless of Sirius getting picked or not. What if she even will be the first person seeing Sirius is a guy instead of a girl (with seeing I don't mean what everyone might think, but any possible way lol), to his surprise not being surprised in her turn. I imagine her to be a good reader of people in silence. She could even have noticed how he looked at Cami right from the start. Oh! Maybe Cami and her a really good friends?? Okay, sorry, these thoughts came up while writing this. ^^ Let me know what you think.

Sorry for the delayed response! That works for Cami ! DarkSideCookie

[Hollywood Heidi]

The non-Hogwarts students are guaranteed so it’s not necessary to campaign for them though I do enjoy learning more about them. 😊 Mostly we need to be convinced why we should vote for your Hogwarts student!

[Lady Lee-o]

I would love to have something between Cami and Staffan! I'm down! Ariel

Darleena wants this because she wants to prove that she is capable of being her own person. She wants everyone to know just because she has the last name Lestrange it doesn't mean she is like her family. She wants everyone to see that she might be in a competition but she is fair, kind, and she is positive that this tournament will get her recognized as an individual. She wants to do her house and school proud and take home the win.

Since Dray was a young girl she always heard other witches and wizards put her house down; family included. She wants everyone to know that Hufflepuff's can stand on their own two feet, fight alongside other houses, and win. That they can be just as brave, smart, and fierce as any other house. This will be her chance to show everyone that a Hufflepuff can win.

And though I don't need to do this...

Prince Staffan - Being the youngest son of his family, Staffan's brothers always get the glory. He is normally forgotten and he wants people in the wizarding world to know him. He wants Glory, he wants to be known, he wants to prove that he is strong enough like his ancestors.

I think they really could become friends (again ^^ )
And I like the idea that Shane would figure out the truth behind "Emily". 


DarkSideCookie
I'm totally with your idea! 

I wanted to add something - and now you suggests nearly the same idea! 

3. Sirius, the savior, and his secret
My idea is that during one game of the Tournament somebody (Coco? - I like this name <3 ) gets into trouble. Sirius decides to help/save the other student but gets hurt. For example on his chest - so the other one would see the truth that Emily isn't a girl.

VOTING IS NOW OPEN!!! I've locked the thread from having new posts until voting has ended. I'm hoping we can close the poll by end of July marathon, if not sooner. I'll keep an eye on when we have all players' votes in.


The voting has been set to hidden. Results won't be seen until the poll has been closed.

Whatever the results, please don't be bummed if your character wasn't chosen. I'm sure there's a way to involve everyone in some way! If you had an idea that involved yours and another player's character, if one is chosen, the other can be involved and helping in a way that will hopefully not mess up whatever you'd had in mind.

However the voting goes, I'm sure we'll work everything out in a way that everyone will be happy. We always do!
