[Aki Ameko]

For those looking to play a professor, I finally have a list of which positions are OPEN! heart

--

Defense Against the Dark Arts
(Severus Snape deceased, 1998 )

Potions
(Horace Slughorn has likely retired by 2002)

Transfiguration
(Minvera McGonagall promoted to Headmistress)

Muggle Studies (Students will not take this course until third year)
(Charity Burbage deceased, 1997)

Ancient Ruins (Students will not take this course until third year)
(Previous teacher unknown)

Additional Positions: (Character takes one of these positions in addition to their core teaching position)

Deputy Headmaster/mistress*
(Minvera McGonagall promoted to Headmistress.
*Position may be likely to be filled by Filius Flitwick, longtime friend of McGonagall and long-time Hogwarts Professor.)

Gryffindor Head of House*
(Minvera McGonagall promoted to Headmistress.
*Since Rubeus Hagrid is a confirmed Gryffindor, it might be fun to see this position filled by him.)

Slytherin Head of House
(Severus Snape deceased, 1998. Horace Slughorn likely to be retired by 2002)

Hufflepuff Head of House*
(*Open only if Pamona Sprout is retired.)

--

Positions that are KIND OF open if people really want them:

Astronomy
(Otherwise filled by Aurora Sinistra. Not much is known about her so she could have retired by 2002)

Arithmancy
(Otherwise filled by Septima Vector. Not much is known about her so she could have retired by 2002)

--

Other positions to discuss:

Herbology
Do we want Pamona Sprout or Neville Longbottom? Please note that if we go with Neville Longbottom, Hufflepuff Head of House will need to be filled, since Longbottom was a Gryffindor. Longbottom is a confirmed Herbology teacher by the year 2014, however we do not know which year he started. (I find it unlikely that he started this early, as professors usually take a few years of field research before taking to the classroom. However, it may be more fun to have Neville.)

Let me know what your thoughts are on the Herbology professor, and also let me know if you would like to play a professor! <3

How's this?

Full Name: Zoraida Aphrodite Wilkinson
Nickname: Zora, although a select few call her Aphrodite, because of her nature.
Birthday: February 14th, 1991
Wand: She possess a 13 Inch Black Walnut wand with a Dragon Heart string core that was made by her parents.
Year: 1st year.
House: Gryffindor
Parentage: Born of a pureblood Father and born of a pureblood Mother
Other Family: Mother: (Presumed deceased, has been missing since second wizard war.) Zephera Madaline [Acosta] Wilkinson
Father: Malikai Landon Wilkinson
Sister: Martitza Wilkinson [Deceased. First born triplet killed in the same attack that resulted in the disappearance of their mother)
Brother: Toulouse Barron Wilkinson Second born triplet.
Special Interests, Hobbies, and/or Abilities: Bitten by a werewolf while exploring with her brother one night she has been working to control her werewolf side for a few years now. She was 8 when she was bitten. She enjoys the simple things in life like quidditch, make up, reading, piano, singing, and fashion.
Upbringing: Her mother and father were both always there for their three children. Father works with dangerous magical creatures, while her mother is a maker of fine wizarding goods. Before her mothers "death" her parents worked together to create a wand for each of their children. They were given to them right before the death of her mother and sister. Now her sisters and mothers wand sit in a case in the living room beside each other. The wand was all they could find of her mother after the attack on her mother and sister. It's just her father, brother, and her now and the three of them are extremely close.
Personality: She can be shy when first getting to know people because of the deaths in her family, her werewolf-ism, and her self conscious tendencies, however those that truly get to know her will see that she is a true born leader, she is strong willed and isn't afraid to fight to protect what she loves. Basically she's a bookworm with a true heart of a rebel. She has major weakness's being her insecurities, her past, her fear of getting to close to people, not being able to fully control her werewolf-ism, and her smart mouth.
Physical Description:Long black ringlets that trail down to her waist, white teeth with braces (enchanted ones that don't harm her teeth when she shifts), She is 5'4 and fairly thin when she joins Hogwarts. She has dark freckles across her nose and cheeks that she is constantly trying to cover up. Hazel eyes with just a hint of green at the very edges.
Pet: Phoenix the owl.

Still deciding if I wanna make a boy character. Depends on how many girl characters we have in the end.

Color_Me_Cuffed: Finally got a chance to read your profile through. Some very interesting stuff here and I have a few questions!

If she's got a living triplet, wouldn't he be coming to Hogwarts the same year, too? It might be necessary for your to play him, at least a little bit, to help keep up continuity.

And how are we handling her werewolfism at Hogwarts? I imagine McGonagall would handle the situation the same way Dumbledore did, (escorting Zoraida down to the Whomping Willow every full moon) although they may need a new hiding spot since the Shrieking Shack was a bit compromised. It may still be probable to use it, though... What do you think?

On the wand, I'm not so sure about this one. Wand-making is something that's supposed to be very difficult and specialized, and I don't really see someone who "Makes wizard artifacts" as someone who would be adept at making wands also. If this was the case, I would expect the wand to be somewhat crude and not meet the standards of an Ollivander wand. Not much is said in the series about other wandmakers, though, just that Ollivander wands are supposed to be the best. I'll still allow it, I just want to give you some suggestions and discuss it a bit. Since you seem to want to go with a non-Ollivander wand, how about being a bit more out there with its materials? Use an uncommon wood, or perhaps a core from something important to the family? (Like a pet kneazle's hair, etc.) The wands page on the Harry Potter Wiki is a good place to start if you'd like to do some more research. You don't have to head any of this though, of course. I'm just a Ravenclaw who over-thinks everything. XD

Some other thoughts I've had lately:

I may have to create a few Prefect characters, just for occasional use. Having characters for mentoship would be a bit useful. Will probably create at least a Ravenclaw Sixth Year for this purpose.

Also thinking I'd rather keep Hagrid in all his positions, as well as make him the Gryffindor Head of House. It is so FUN to imagine him in that position, and he's so great with kids! <3 I imagine though that Professor McGonagall would keep a tighter reign on him than Dumbledore did. I can see her putting a ban on his experimental breeding, and keeping a close watch on him to ensure his curriculum is focusing on what it should. It's been shown that he CAN be a good teacher when he is forced to be. Although, of course, none of our characters will be able to take Magical Creatures until third year.
