Harry Potter RPG

[JP2210]

I used to RP years ago and getting the itch to do it again and have been thinking of starting my own but then came across this site.  Time wise it would be around the same time I have been thinking (20ish years after Deathly Hallows) and was wondering if you guys have a basic plot outlined, such as have the Death Eaters returned or anything like that?

Hi JP2210! So far, we have smaller issues at work for Hogwarts and its students. We haven’t come up with a major villain like Voldemort yet. We have a more minor one as of now concentrating on his own agenda that involves two of the students as well as a new Headmaster who isn’t exactly a villain but has questionable motive. He’s developed a way to activate dormant witch/wizard genes in family lines that had died out of the magical world. He has one success so far, a student who supposedly didn’t come into her magic until she was 16. We’re always open to new ideas and suggestions, especially to accommodate a new character. 😊

The Tri-Wizard Tournament is also happening for the first time since Harry Potter’s turn as Champion, so we have students from the two usual schools and included the American school as well.

We’re pretty laid back and open minded. If you have some ideas you’d like to run by us to get a feel for if you’d like to join our friendly community, fire away!

What kinds of characters do you like to play?

I have been working on a series of short fan-fics that Death Eaters have returned when Hermione becomes the Minister of Magic. While nobody expected the Death Eaters to go away completely the Auror department run by Harry is under-funded and ill-equipped to deal with this new threat.
However the Death Eaters don't have a main leader, operating in small groups whose only purpose is to cause panic and terror throughout the wizard world and undermine peoples' trust in the Ministry and Hermione. However the Death Eaters do have an interest in a mysterious silver haired woman that keeps popping up and put great efforts into capturing her for unknow reasons.

Sounds like an interesting plot! I never considered what happened to the Death Eaters. That's definitely something to think about!

Hello JP2210! Welcome to our little nook in the interwebs

In our HP RPG, I play a character named Odin Markell, he's a bit of a baddie with an agenda on his hands. If you wish, take a gander at his character bio for any sort of inspiration.  He is currently disguised as a student at Hogwarts named Ashworth Jones to fulfill a prophecy (more info in the bio), if you were thinking about playing a Death Eater I'm sure Odin would like to have an ally from the outside that he can depend on for anything he might need and vice versa.

Odin/Ash's bio : mfcsrpg.proboards.com/thread/4061/odin-markell-ashworth-ash-jones

Let me know if you have any questions or further ideas I'm very open minded and flexible!

Just letting you know I am still lurking about (didn't have internet the last few days) and still have some ideas rolling around in my head.
In my own little fan-fics/ campaign for the Harry Potter Miniatures game I mentioned above I was rewriting Delphi as morally gray rather than outright evil and more interested in partying with muggles and gets caught in the middle between a war with the Ministry and Death Eaters, but I don't think that model will fit on this site without adding major plot lines and new characters.
For this site however I had the thought of making her a mercenary/punch clock type villain who does bad things simply for the money (although there are lines she won't cross). She might be useful if anyone needs anything done "no questions asked" or interfering with the Triwizard Tournament so X champion wins.

That idea sounds great and would really be fun to play out in our rpg! I always was intrigued by the idea of Delphi since reading the Cursed Child, your version sounds really neat. I would definitely love to have Odin/Ash and Dephi collaborate together and have some sort of arrangement where they help each other out in their schemes.

I could totally see a Delphi and Odin aka Ash alliance! JP, definitely feel free to hop into the Potential Plots thread of the Harry Potter RPG Out of Character board and discuss your ideas further if you'd like. All the players keep an eye and contribute with that thread.
