dumbledors_army - Profile (original) (raw)

Welcome to Dumbledore's Army

We here at Dumbledore's Army do not own the characters we use, they belong to JK Rowling, we just play them. Also, we'd like to give props to uber_hogwarts because we love them and without their influence we wouldn't have made our own community.

This is a Harry Potter RPG taking place after the fifth book, so it will contain spoilers. If you haven't read the books, you shouldn't join the game.

Dumbledore's Army is

slash friendly, but only if it's canon. (ex: Don't make Roger Davies gay because we know he's had more than one girlfriend.) Though we do allow slash, we have a strict no incest rule. This may sound like an odd thing to say, but we've seen it and we aren't fond of it.

Joining Info:

At this time we are not accepting any original characters, but if you need help coming up with a character that is in the books we suggest you visit The Harry Potter Lexicon

To join, send in an e-mail with:
~Your name and e-mail
~A brief description of your character including their name, age, house and a backstory
~A sample journal entry
~Who you intend to use as your icon (If you need help getting icons ask and we'll see what we can do ^_^)
~Whether you play any other characters in DA and who those characters are
~Whether or not you have a code and/or journal for that character.

All new characters will be subject to a 14 day probation period.

*Special abilities (such as being an animagus ect.) and rare objects (like a penseive, a firebolt, ect.) must be run by the mods. These things come across as rare in the books so we want to keep them rare in the game.

The Daily Prophet

Every other week we will post a few headlines from the Daily Prophet to keep the students up to date on the war and let everybody know what's going on in the wizarding world.

We would very much appreciate if you would send in ideas for headlines and if they work they will be included in the next posting.

Rules:

  1. All characters must post at least one journal entry per week. Additional posts may be made in action post form, but a weekly journal entry is required. If for some reason you will not be able to post for over a week please inform us ahead of time and we'll work something out. (NOTE: For the summer this rule is being changed, we understand that people may not be able to post this often so have changed the limit to one journal entry every two weeks)

*For extremly long posts as well as owls and pictures, please remember to use lj-cuts.

  1. Do not assume that your character knows something they were not told. Information in journal entries is not publicly displayed throughout Hogwarts. That's information for players to read, not for characters. (The only exception to this is if someone steals a characters journal)

  2. Don't ad-lib other people's characters unless you have permission from that character's player, or the character you are ad-libbing is a non-player-character(NPC).

  3. Get large plots, those which will affect other characters than yourself and the people who planned it, approved by the mods.

  4. Try to stay as canon as possible. It's important that you have some grasp of your character.

  5. While we do love OOC posts, they are only allowed in the OOC community, room_of_req.

  6. Feel free to RP through IM and post the conversations in the room_of_req.

  7. Please be sure to play with everyone who wants to play with you, it's only fair.

  8. Make sure that if you decide you no longer want to play one of your characters you leave a post in the OOC journal announcing your departure from the game.

10)We think it's fair for us to ask that you have some knowledge of grammar and skill when it comes to typing. We know that the occasional typo or spelling mistake is unavoidable, but if your posts consistently contain multiple grammatical errors and spelling mistakes we may have to have a talk.

If you have any questions about something that is not covered here, feel free to e-mail us or ask one of the mods; Ash (purple_cow), Rachel (hugslut) or Laur (semiteeny).

We reserve the right to ban people from our community if we feel they are causing problems and/or not meeting our standards. (And it's not hard to meet our standards.)
