Who brought the characters here? Morgana inadvertently brought everyone here. She intends to use it to her advantage, hoping to gain new minions and gain control of the modern world.
When does my character arrive? The initial arrivals will be staggered at the mod's discretion. We ask that you not introduce your character until you are given the all-clear (we will have a schedule so that you can know when to bring them in.) The scheduling of arrivals is to be done in a way that you will have at least one character in game on opening week or your first week in game. If you have no modern day Harry Potter characters, your arrivals will be first, however, we do encourage everyone to have at least one modern day character so that we don't have to force too many arrivals at once.
Where does my character arrive? Now that we have discussed the scheduling, arrivals will happen one of two ways for the characters who aren't in the modern-day Harry Potter universe. Returnees (those coming back from the dead) will arrive in the place they died. Lily and James at Godric's Hollow, Sirius in the Department of Mysteries, etc. Characters not from this world will arrive at the Ministry of Magic.
If a character is killed in game can they come back? No. If a character is killed in game, they stay dead. That character will become unplayable for anyone in the future. For this reason, we will keep in-game deaths to a minimum, mostly focusing kills on OC NPCs from the Harry Potter world. However, to make it look more frightening to the people involved directly in game, anyone who goes home will be made to look like a kidnapping/possible murder (their body will be missing, but there will be blood and other things.)
My character's canon best friend/lover is here, can they room together? Harry Potter characters who are from the current time will live in their own residences and can have anyone with them that they wish and this includes returnees (like if Harry wants his parents to stay with them). As of this time, panfandom characters and returnees who don't have a home and are in romantic relationships are allowed to share a room in their suite, but there will still be one roommate who is not from their fandom. Your characters will not automatically be placed with lovers, it will have to be requested and please do not do so if it's a fling or a new relationship.
Will my character recognize someone with a familiar pb in a different fandom? Yes and no. If the two characters are close in age and have similar styles, it is possible for your character to confuse them for someone else. If there is a larger age difference or a major style difference, they will look similar and that can be commented on, but they will not look exactly the same.
Are history/mythology accepted fandoms? Not alone. We do allow fandoms based off history and mythology, but a historical or mythological figure can not be brought into game without being attached to a fandom. For exampe--Xanadu. Clio is one of the daughters of Zeus, a muse. In Xanadu, she comes to earth in the 1980s and disguises herself as an Australian roller skater named Kira. If Clio comes into game from that fandom, it is allowed, but to bring her in from mythology itself isn't allowed.
Are OCs allowed? Yes. A rule will come later.
My character is a vampire and needs blood to survive, what can be done for them? This will come later.
I would like to update my character, how can I do that? This will come later.
What will my character do for clothes and food? Harry Potter modern characters will be responsible for their own. Panfandom characters and returnees will have closets stocked in their own styles. The kitchen on the first floor will also maintain constantly stocked.
