We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!
The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!
A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!
Please use the form below to apply! If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the mods.

Character Name: Hermione Jean Granger (15) Series: Harry Potter (book series) Timeline: Taken from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry and Hermione chase Sirius and Lupin into the Forbidden Forest. Dementors arrive and are sucking the happiness from Sirius, Hermoine and Harry and attempt to perform the Dementor’s Kiss on them. Hermione passes out, and this is the point she will wake in Victory Road. Canon Resource Links: Harry Potter Wikipedia page Harry Potter Wiki Hermione Granger Wikipedia page
Personality: Hermione Granger is an extremely intelligent witch and is often referred to as the ‘brightest witch of her age’. She has a passion and thirst for learning, and has the ability to absorb information and then recite it verbatim. She loves books and studying, and can often be found in the library researching or furthering her learning.
Hermione finds it difficult to make friends as her peers (and some adults) see her as a know-it-all, and when she corrects people she comes across as bossy and elitist. However this is not the case - her perceived bossiness or ‘one-upmanship’ is a consequence of Hermione’s fear of failure (particularly in relation to her studies), and her self-consciousness about her outward appearance. It isn’t her intention to be bossy or come across as superior, but part of a front that she puts up to protect herself. While she appears confident when talking about her studies, she is deeply wounded when she is bullied about her intelligence and looks, and tends to retreat and steer clear of others, often escaping to the library.
Hermione has a deep respect for rules, structure and authority, and finds the thought of breaking rules abhorrent, often scolding others for doing so. She finds it difficult to accept that a trusted adult in a position of power would abuse it, and often defends authority figures when they are accused of wrongdoing when the evidence isn’t clear. However Hermione does come to eventually see that not all people can be trusted, and not all rules are fair, and she will break the rules if the need is extreme.
After making friends with Harry and Ron, Hermione’s bossiness isn’t quite as extreme, however she will still scold both friends if she feels they are breaking rules, doing something dangerous or neglecting their studies. Both Ron and Harry have helped Hermione open up and be less serious, however will always turn to her for advice, and make use of her impressive knowledge and intelligence. She is the voice of reason when Harry wants to charge forward into something without thinking.
As a friend, Hermione is also fiercely loyal – she is the only one to stand by Harry despite the rumours that circulate in the Daily Prophet about him, and stays by his side despite the difficulties and dangers he is faced with, even though doing so could result in her death. Even when she is shunned by Harry multiple times, she still reconciles with him and remains his closest friend. Her loyalty may be tied to the fact that she finds it difficult to make friends, and therefore clings to the ones she does have.
Hermione also has a strong sense of justice and will stand up for others. She feels that all sentient creatures are equal, and will fight for the rights of minority groups despite knowing she faces an uphill battle, particularly against purebloods.
She can also see past the exterior to the uniqueness and beauty inside – her love for her cat Crookshanks is evidence of this. Crookshanks is one of the ugliest, meanest cats Ron and Harry have seen, however Hermione loves him and Crookshanks is loyal to her, particularly since he chose Hermione as his owner rather than the other way around. She is also one of the only people who treats Harry as a person in his own right, rather than by his title as the ‘Boy who Lived’. She sees past the title and heroic deeds to the real person inside, and treats him as a proper friend.
Strengths/Weaknesses + Extremely intelligent + Loyal + Organised + Strong moral code + Brave - Bossy - Self-conscious and insecure - Fears failure - Likes to correct people - Can be obsessive when it comes to her studies

Victory Road Sample: Now that Hermione had examined the entire contents of the backpack, including having flipped quickly through the Breeding Manual (which of course she vowed to read very thoroughly once she’d had a chance to process everything), she turned to the little green creature that had been hovering next to her. It had been observing her since she’d woken up, freaked out and then been pushed out of a strange lady’s house with barely an explanation about what was going on.
“Well then,” she crossed her arms thinking aloud, trying to calm down, collect her thoughts and block out the constant music that seemed to be playing from somewhere. “I haven’t seen anything like you in any of the books I’ve read, and you’re definitely not in this breeding manual either. You’re obviously not threatening. Actually, you’re pretty cute.”
The little green ball seemed to respond well to the compliment, bouncing up and down in happiness. It twirled around before floating over to her backpack, nudging the strange electronic device she’d stored in the side pocket.
Hermione frowned and knelt down. “Can this thing tell me what you are?” She’d examined it and turned it on of course, noting all the functions, but hadn’t really had the opportunity to play around with it more. She picked it up again, and a green light appeared at the top as she swung back towards the green blob. Examining the buttons, Hermione clicked the main one – she had a computer at home so it seemed a safe bet the biggest button was probably akin to an ‘Enter’ key.
Solosis, the Cell Pokémon. A membrane filled with fluid surrounds Solosis' body which allows it to live anywhere. It defeats its enemies using its formidable Psychic-type powers.
Hermione frowned as the electronic voice faded away and then looked up at the Solosis, who seemed to be bouncing in the air. “Solosis? A psychic type Pokemon?” She’d never heard of that kind of creature, but she’d had her run in with psychics – she’d walked out on Divination, believing it to be total rubbish. Now she wasn’t so sure. The entry raised more questions than answers.

Re: ACCEPTED
Edit: quick question - can Hermione still have her wand with her, but it just won't work, given they seem to be able to pocket them?
