Wow, I missed a ton while I was sleeping cx I skimmed it over, and so far it seems you've got things pretty down. I don't have the time to look through everything properly right now, I'm heading into Swedish class in two minutes, but once I get out of school this afternoon I'll look through everything more thoroughly. Also, if I might take Thunderbird, that'd be wonderful ^^

okay so FOR THE PLOT AN IDEA:
so instead of doing like the standard world domination plot (i mean it would eventually come to that) but like it starts out with a sickness. at first it's just one, and then tens, and then hundreds, and then thousands of wizards are falling ill. it doesn't seem to affect muggles, and it hasn't killed anyone (yet), but there is no cure. they just slowly get sicker and sicker. and there's no cure. they just begin to rot away, and their limbs eventually stop responding. they begin to sleep all the time, not quite in a coma, but never fully awake, and their appetite decreases. they become very thin, and they have this racking cough, and no one knows how or why.
i'm thinking it will end up being a squib or something that's jealous of all the wizards and witches that can use magic and they created a sickness that only affects those who have the magical gene and the plan is that they will eventually waste away into nothing and the wizarding race will go extinct and everything will be "equal"
it could also just be like a regular muggle or something

sorry everyone! it's been a really busy day for me so far, and I won't be able to stick around for very long tonight. I'll basically only be responding to specific people, then taking off. I should be more active for the rest of this week to do some more worldbuilding! again, I'm sorry.
𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 ; you're totally fine! I get it, I've been busy with exams too. and we haven't quite got everything down yet. we still need some more plot suggestions, locations, a joining form, and a general introduction to the roleplay. if you (or anyone reading this) could help with any of those, that would be absolutely wonderful! and totally! I'll add that to your name in just a moment.
Lea ; hi there, and thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your interest in this subject, and hopefully, since this idea is pretty separate from the Harry Potter books themselves, you won't have much catching up to do. (be aware though that this is still in the HP universe, so if there's any terms you might not know, feel free to ask anyone to explain) I really appreciate your offer to help! if you can, feel free to check out our to-do list on the front page, and if you feel like you're able to help with any of those things listed, feel free to take them on! I'm sure people here could use another opinion on plots or layouts or something, so even just your voice could help.
ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ ; oh, totally, you can get the Hufflepuff house! I'll add that under your name in just a moment. (side note: gosh, that means all the Hogwarts houses are taken! hopefully some more people like Ilvermorny, heh) hmm. hmm. I definitely like your idea, but part of me feels like it's a tad too dark for what we're trying to go for here (but really, what are we trying to go for? I don't even know, tbh). I'm not completely disregarding it, though, but I'd like to hear what some other people helping out have to say first before I make a final decision. hearing other opinions helps a lot, ya know? and ooooh. I like your simplistic layout a lot! it's not originally what I had in mind but it looks so clean and I like the fonts and ahh! that might be the one :0

okay those look AMAZING
dude hufflepuff and gryffindor though can you imagine gryffindors with bloody knuckles and kid's bandages and hufflepuffs with baggy sweaters and long socks adjfkal;jfkl; yessss
edit;; you posted literally right before i did xD so i missed it but omg yeah that's totally okay! i was just thinking of some way to add drama that would force them to work together lol but yeah i totally hear you. i'm so glad you like the layout! are the colors okay? i don't mind playing around with the colors if you want something different c:

Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs ; I freakin' love those moodboards so much oh my gosh!! those would be perfect above each house's home description thing! I can see it now... :'^) thank you so much for helping out with those, they're beautiful!
edit: going off what Intransigent was just saying, is there any way you could provide some for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff too? for now, I'm not going to request any for the Ilvermorny houses, since I'm assuming the Gryffindor ones are going to be more popular for people to join.

i'm working on them right now!~ i'm glad you guys like them! quick question: should i create moodboards for the kinds of houses they'll live in? i found some for both Ravenclaw and Slytherin so I wasn't sure~

ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ ; yeah, I'm glad you hear where I'm coming from. I'm still a fan of the idea though! we'll definitely keep it around for discussion. and yeah, I think the colors in the layout are just fine! I like it--neutral and simple. not offending to the eye, and it's aesthetically pleasing to me. if you want to keep playing around or trying out different things though, feel free. I'd love to see if you come up with any other good schemes.
Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs ; hmm. that sounds like a lot of extra work on your part, to do separate ones for the homes too. I'll only ask for just the Hogwarts house ones right now, but if your muse is pulling you to do their homes too, then keep going with it by all means! (by the way, if it helps you in any way, I added descriptions for the other House homes on the first page. )

Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs ; ooh, I like those house aesthetics! that's definitely what I imagined for their respective houses.
@intrasigent ; :O I really like that color too! I think it's a sort of periwinke..? but I really like that scheme too. like, a lot.

alright i'll leave that color alone, let me go get to formatting some stuff on it and just playing around with it.
edit;; i'm going to save the code here so that way if we don't like it i can always fall back to this
[div style="padding:20px;background-color:#5075c2;border:10px double #dddddd;border-radius:0px;padding:20px;padding-top:10px;"] [p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';text-align:center;"] [/p] [p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';text-align:center;"][sub][span style="color:#800080;"][strong][span style="color:#ffffff;"]T E X T[/span][/strong][/span][/sub][/p] [p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';text-align:center;"] [/p] [p style="text-align:left;"][sub][span style="color:#ffffff;"]insert text here[/span][/sub][span style="color:#ffffff;"] [/span][/p] [/div]

Just to let you all know, I'm currently down with a pretty bad migraine. I'm going to be around for a few minutes at a time, but probably not often or for very long over these next few days while I get back on track. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'll think everything over while I'm gone, though, so hopefully I'll reemerge with some ideas to contribute.

hi everyone, I'm back for the night! I'm responding to posts right now <3

𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 ; oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about that, and I hope you feel better soon! <3 I appreciate you letting us all know though, but don't strain yourself to come on here too much, if it's bothering you. listen to your body and take care of yourself love!
Lea ; ahh, I'm glad you already love the universe! I'm sure you'll be fine here--you sound like you've definitely done your research. there's probably not going to be a lot of stuff from the books that you'll specifically need to know, either, so you're all set! mm, I like that idea, and I feel like it wouldn't be just Pukwudgies too--something tells me that Wampuses (is that the plural? I hope so) would have some more exclusionary/aggressive tendencies as well, especially towards Muggles, but quite possibly towards other Houses. I feel like that could be an interesting dynamic, having certain houses exhibit stronger 'alliances', if you will, with each other. this opens the door to tension growing between House members, 'forbidden' romances, and perhaps even violent outbreaks? who knows? this is a fun concept to toy with, though, so thank you! ooh, I like that idea too! it's sort of like the way to get into common rooms back at good ol' Hogwarts! if I remember correctly, Ravenclaws had a riddle, Gryffindors and Slytherins had passwords, and it's unclear for Hufflepuff (per the HP Wiki). though, I'm not sure if these residences are quite old enough for ghosts (keep in mind Hogwarts is like. really freakin' old), but they'd definitely have their share of enchanted objects and 'mascot' animals. by the way, if you like, I could appoint you to be the Pukwudgie House Leader! we're still in need of one, and the Ravenclaw position has already been taken.
Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs ; oh my goodness, look at you outdoing yourself again! those are absolutely beautiful, thank you for your contribution!! <3 goodness gracious I can't stop looking at those, aaaa #respect

rules (first draft)
- Follow the Forum Rules. If you aren't familiar with them, I suggest catching up on them, because violations of these could resort in getting this thread deleted. - Activity: I won't make daily activity a requirement, because I can't even guarantee that. However, I would like to see at least two to three well-written roleplay responses written per week. If you're gone for more than a week and a half without explanation for your absence, you'll be placed on a probation of sorts. After three weeks have passed without any explanation or post of any kind, you will lose your spot. - Literacy: this is a literate and advanced roleplay, so proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. will be expected of every roleplayer. Every roleplay response should aim to have at least two to three well-written paragraphs, at the very least. If these requirements make you doubt your ability at all, I highly suggest you heavily consider applying here. - Keep profanity to the allowed minimum set by the administrators of the site ("hell" and "damn"), but nothing else. Also, romance and violence should be kept at PG levels, if this roleplay were to be rated as a movie. If you like, you may do a time skip, or move the roleplay to direct messages if you wish to keep roleplaying it. - Make sure your characters aren't perfect. Even though witches and wizards possess magic, they are human, and therefore have human faults. Make your characters flawed and realistic. - Confrontation in the roleplay should be expected and is completely fine, however, any fighting that arises between two members out of character on the roleplay thread will not be condoned in plain view of all other bystanders. All members should be treated with inclusion and upmost respect. If you have an issue to take up with someone, either have an administrator (listed below) mediate the dispute, or take it to direct messages. - Exercise courtesy when roleplaying. This includes the following: giving all involved members a chance to respond to a post, not controlling characters besides your own, indicating which character you're roleplaying with (if you have more than one character), and indicating the difference between OOC (out of character) chatter and your actual roleplay response. - Lastly, I know I've listed a lot of rules above, but they're simply intended to ensure that everyone has a good time at this thread. Don't lose sight of this roleplay's ultimate goal of having fun.
