@hedwig68
I'm searching right now. BUT. I'll only give you your answers if you run her through this test: http://www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm

She seems a little unbalanced to me, and if that's the case, it's not fair to the rest of us if she gets some crazy wand.

EDIT: That one question is not a "depends" kind of question, I need an answer.

@silver_winged Dang. o.o Holly? 😊

silver_winged • 2 April 2012 at 11:52 PM

@trish
Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest. Holly is one of those woods that varies most dramatically in performance depending on the wand core, and it is a notoriously difficult wood to team with phoenix feather, as the wood's volatility conflicts strangely with the phoenix's detachment. In the unusual event of such a pairing finding its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way.

I've posted the descriptions for all three wand cores in one place or another, so you can look for those if you like. ^^

@silver_winged uh what do I do on that website.

silver_winged • 2 April 2012 at 11:56 PM

@hedwig68
You fill out the quiz based on your character. The questions are all statements. If the statement applies to your character, you check the box.

You'll be doing sections 1, 3, 4, and 5. ^^ If your score comes out higher than 30, your character is in trouble and needs some editing. (Most likely.)

And I need an answer to the precise/flamboyant magic question.

hedwig68 • 3 April 2012 at 12:04 AM

Is she a big personality or a small personality? big
How stubborn/easily swayed is she? stubborn
Does she like big, flamboyant magic, or careful, precise magic? flamboyant
How naturally gifted at magic is she? very
Is she particularly talented at any field (magical creatures, herbology, transfiguration, etc)? Defense Against the dark arts
Is she particularly adventurous? yes
How self-assured is she? very sure of herself but not boastful

@silver_winged that site confused me

silver_winged • 3 April 2012 at 12:07 AM

@hedwig68 Okay then, I'd say sycamore with dragon heartstring.

"The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ?bored,? and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore?s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods."

The test is pretty straightforward. I use it for any new characters I make that I'm afraid might have too few flaws. (I ran Ceren through before posting his app--he checked out fine. A little high, with all the elf-y qualities, but in the end fine.)

asi • 3 April 2012 at 12:27 AM

~Form~
Full Name: Cyron Kimura
Gender: M
Age (11 or 12): 11
Personality: Fairly polite, but not usually friendly or talkative, and prone to drifting off. He's also a little spoilt and never exactly enthusiastic. Will develop.
Pureblood, Half-Blood, or Muggle-born: Half.
Looks: Black or very dark brown gravity-defying hair, grey eyes, looks a little malnourished, a bit taller than average, tanned skin.
Pet-Cat, Owl, Toad, or None: A long-eared owl called Bunny (he didn't name her).
Wand type: Vine and Phoenix feather core, 11 inches, slightly springy.
Other: Will develop.

This okay?

silver_winged • 3 April 2012 at 12:44 AM

@asi
I'd say vine, Phoenix feather core, 11 inches, slightly springy.

"The druids considered anything with a woody stem as a tree, and vine makes wands of such a special nature that I have been happy to continue their ancient tradition. Vine wands are among the less common types, and I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best. Vine wands seem strongly attracted by personalities with hidden depths, and I have found them more sensitive than any other when it comes to instantly detecting a prospective match. Reliable sources claim that these wands can emit magical effects upon the mere entrance into their room of a suitable owner, and I have twice observed the phenomenon in my own shop."

@Silver_Winged Many thanks, O Wise One 😸

cotton • 3 April 2012 at 9:09 AM

@silver_winged Thank you so much! That's awesome. 😊 We can start whenever you guys are ready. (:

@asi Form accepted. (: This RP is going to be great, and when PM opens up, it's going to be even better because we'll have so many more details. 😃

22fireboy • 3 April 2012 at 9:35 AM

Am I accepted?????????
@cotton

silver_winged • 3 April 2012 at 9:40 AM

@cotton You're welcome. ^^ I'm happy to help match people with their wands. If any description sounds incorrect, tell me exactly how it's wrong, and I'll see if I can find something better. To be honest, Pottermore isn't all that fun at the moment. Only activities surrounding the first book are open, and I completed those during my first week on the site. The only things to do are make potions and duel, but dueling is hard on my computer, and potions require consistent access to a computer over a several-hour space that I can't always guarantee. So I'm waiting until they open up some more stuff. c:

On another note, where exactly are we all starting? In our own houses?

cotton • 3 April 2012 at 9:48 AM

@22fireboy I think your form was okay but you need to fix your grammar, please, it wasn't awful but it had some problems. :/

@silver_winged Oh. Hopefully it'll get more entertaining in the next parts; I bet year 7 will be awesome. 😊
And yes, your character can start wherever they live (you know, a house, an alley, whatever) xD

@cotton

cotton • 3 April 2012 at 10:22 AM

@rileytibbles_side A'ight, accepted! (: Let's start. You go first, I can't think of how to start. XD

rileytibbles_side • 3 April 2012 at 10:24 AM

@cotton
Are we doing it 3rd person?

cotton • 3 April 2012 at 10:25 AM

@rileytibbles_side It doesn't matter (: I usually do third person but whatever you like is fine. (:

rileytibbles_side • 3 April 2012 at 10:29 AM

@cotton
we should do 1st person because of the way we do spells




BEGINNING:
I heard the owls outside and darted down the stairs. I had been waiting for this day my entire life. My letter to hogwarts was coming!

22fireboy • 3 April 2012 at 10:34 AM

I was running down the alley. It was midnight and my mom was gonna kill me. When i entered the door I saw a letter with my name on it. I slipped it in my pocket. And TRIED to sneak up the stairs. Then my mom yelled my name"LUCAS". I thought to myself "busted".
@cotton
@rileytibbles_side

rileytibbles_side • 3 April 2012 at 10:40 AM

@22fireboy
@cotton
I inhaled my breakfast and rushed to the living room window where and owl had perched itself. I opened it and it flew inside bearing the letter that was my future.

cotton • 3 April 2012 at 10:41 AM

@rileytibbles_side Okay (: Now you have to post the letter! XD But only the first half, we'll post the supply list when we get to Diagon Alley. 😸
@22fireboy I didn't accept your form.. Sorry! ):


I shot up in bed and darted down the stairs. Today was the day! Finally! I looked out the window to see a small brown speck slowly growing in the sky. As I was walking into the kitchen, I heard a loud POP and something big appeared in front of me. Startled, I yelled, "CHRIS!! Come ON!!" The big shadow laughed and moved away. Of course, my big brother HAD to have his seventeenth birthday last week.

22fireboy • 3 April 2012 at 10:52 AM
