hey hey everybody! I'm back!
real quick: does anyone have any ideas for what the Ilvermorny homes should be like? (if you want to reference what I'm sort of going for, check out the front page and the Hogwarts homes) I can't think of any possible ideas, for some reason.
edit: also, does anyone have any comments/critiques of the rules or joining form?

hm so i was looking over the ilvermorny history and i kinda have small visions of each house but like they're p bad so like idk if any of them will work???
- pukwudgie: i get a dungeon-esqe vibe from them bc they're (the animals) "fiercely independent, tricky and not over-fond of humankind, very powerful magic and hunt w deadly poisonous arrows and tricksters", also v loyal and takes life-debts seriously - wampus: panther-like creature, v physically fit - thunderbird: p most similar to ravenclaw - horned serpant: p most similar to slytherin bc obviously
realized that this may not be that helpful as i'd thought HAHHAA oh well i'll post the link to ilvermorny hehee

for joining form, maybe mention they can put down a patronus? rules are pretty straightforward and reasonable; maybe put a link for the forum rules?

ohh, no I've already done all my research on the Ilvermorny houses, haha. what I meant was what their individual homes should be like in the roleplay--like what we've already established for all the Hogwarts houses.
by the way (I should just make this a thing) when I say house, it refers to the actual name of the house (Gryffindor house = Gryffindor), but when I say home, I mean their physical residence (Gryffindor home = the brownstones downtown)
edit: oh, wait, I think I misread what you were saying. yikes on my part, sorry about that! those descriptions sort of help? though I'm not sure if it's totally correct to compare Thunderbird and Horned Serpent to Hogwarts houses. they all have their own differences and uniqueness--which is what's making this whole home planning so freakin' difficult. argh. I'll think about it some more.

ack i know like there are definitely many similarities between hogwarts/ilvermorny characteristics but ilvermorny’s unique in its own way but we lack so much info like queen jo why can’t you release more shorts on ilvermorny???

^^^ preach
okay so like i was thinking about pukwudgies and man the first thing that came to my mind were like lumberjacks and hunters and outdoorsmen and i was like "sick" and then I REALIZED THEY COULD TOTALLY live in a log cabin type thing like kinda isolated and have free range for like hunting and such, yeah??
and then good old wampus could live out in the country side and their people com and go freely bc yanno cats??
idk still kinda spit ballin here

oh whoa, I actually do love those ideas like a lot! like, a lot a lot. my original vision for these homes though was that they were going to be somewhat close to Portland itself if not in downtown, so having homes in the countryside could be a bit of an issue there but. for the Pukwudges and that log cabin idea, here's what I know about Oregon: there's city, but then there's nothing for miles. maybe their home is on the outskirts of the city, backing up to a forest in not really a residential housing area? they'd still be like 10 mins max from the city, but have free range in the forest
as for the others though, idk yet

Post by ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ on Nov 18, 2016 0:54:12 GMT -5
idk about the name yet but that's something we could work on and
OH OKAY SO LIEK you know the stuff about like witches and circles like that? okay well whAT IF THE CITY OF PORTLAND WAS A GIANT MAGIC HUB for people like wizards who want to live like normal humans except have like all the perks of maGIC AND THE NINE HOUSes are positioned around it and then an enchantment was cast ages ago to protect them and the houses are then acting as a protective barrier
and then something could happen to the houses that causes the barrier to be broken and puts the muggles and wizards and witches at risk to something idk what do you think i am just super excited
also i said nine bc i feel like there should be one house (kinda like the grimauld(grimald?) house) that is customizable and stuff for wizards who don't really feel like they fit into any of the houses so they can have a place to go??
does that even make sense??

so far I have been incredibly unhelpful, but as I'm once again up and moving, that should change.
I really like the ideas ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ had for the homes, both for Pukwudgie and Wampus. we really don't know much about them, but from what we do know it seems to make sense. I could see Thunderbird living in quite a homely place filled to the brim with knickknacks and books and things that they've just collected over the years. Thunderbirds just seem like the kind of people who would keep anything related to what they deem an adventure. or maybe that's just me. as for Horned Serpent, maybe something neat, clean and modern? they're supposed to be scholars, so that seems to make sense to me at least.
as for the plot idea that was mentioned above, I kind of really like that. I'm not sure how the barrier would work with Potter magic, but they do have them, and I recall the barriers in the movies being represented by a dome, so it could definitely work. as for how the homes would be involved in the barrier, I'm not sure. either way, I quite enjoy the idea.

oooo yeah i love that thunderbirds seem like the kinda people who keep like movie ticket stubs and like birthday cards from when they were 5 and like old valentines and such and aww that's so cute and they probably have like a ton of like photos and stuff and are just very loving and homely people
and omg i love the concept of minimalist modern for horned serpent like i feel like they're kinda the complete opposite of thunderbirds and i really love it so yeah
and omg okay like you know how the weasley's have that magic protective dome over them?? okay well like what if the ones who made the safe haven houses like combined their magic protective charms over their houses together and made one giant dome??? yanno what i mean?? like idk if that makes sense but like every so often as people switch off house chores like it's someone's job to go out and re-cast the protrctive spell to just keep it like really strong and stuff??

ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ ; ooh, I actually really like that idea, like a lot. (by the way, you're very good with coming up with ideas! I've really loved all your plot suggestions so far) perhaps the barrier was put up because there's some kind of super powerful magic object that's worth protecting located in the heart of the city? and when that barrier gets broken (perhaps by someone trying to go after whatever that object is, but an interesting alternative would be feuding between the houses would cause it to break), they need to scramble and somehow get it back up again?? what do you guys think about that?
𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 ; hey there! glad to see you're back and feeling better! ahh, I like those ideas you have for the homes. I think those will work just fine for house descriptions! I'll get those added to the main page in just a second.
I feel like the planning stages of this roleplay are slowly coming to an end! I feel like we've got a lot of the loose ends tied off, and we can actually start getting these layouts going soon. I'm so, so excited!! <3 by the way, we still need a general name for this roleplay. does anyone have any ideas?

Post by intentional on Nov 19, 2016 14:03:55 GMT -5
all these ideas are s o good ahhhhh
i like the idea of the magical object in the heart of the city, and the alternative!! but the feuding would have to be intense bc i suspect that gryffindors and slytherin may get into a lot of just petty fights LMAO haha but i think once spells and hexes are exchanged in a fight between two houses the barrier starts to weaken and they need to fix the broken pieces??
as for the name, maybe we can do something in latin? something like the hogwarts crest of draco dormers nunquam titillandus ? but like something unique to this rp?

aww thank you! haha i just think a lot about harry potter is all hahahahah
OMG YES THAT'S PERFECT something in there worth protecting i can't it's fantastic yes yes yes but what would they be protecting???
like idk maybe they could have the resurrection stone or something?? but like idk that's kinda lame bc that already was in harry potter so eh i might look into that
and oooo intentional, your ideas are so good! yes i love the idea of gryffindors and slytherins just being petty as heck omg yessss i am thriving right now
and like idk do we want to use hogwarts or something different??

intentional ; ahh glad you like that idea! so the magical object idea is definitely set in stone then. I also like the alternative, since clashing between these houses is very likely (or imminent, heh). speaking of which, we should probably get some cliques together, or alliances between houses. are these alliances okay?: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Wampus, and Pukwudgie vs. Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Thunderbird, Horned Serpent? (I feel like due to the nature of Tunderbird and Wampus though I feel like they'd generally be less polarized by the politics of all this). but, definitely, Gryffindor and Slytherin would be the main rivals. I mean, it's historically what's happened.
and hm. I like the idea of the Latin Hogwarts crest, but I also like the idea of something unique to the thread. I looked up some Latin phrases and picked a few that seem most apt. could I get an opinion? bellum omnium contra omnes (war of all against all) hoc est bellum (this is war) ignis aurum probat (fire tests gold) morior invictus (death before defeat) si vis pacem, para bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war)
Невыносимая коммунизм ; hi there! yes of course, feel free to help with anything! at the moment we basically need an introduction to this whole roleplay (I might do that myself tbh), and a layout. feedback would also be appreciated for the rules and joining form, which are at the bottom of page 2/top of page 3. and maybe?? I mean sure, if you really want to, you could have that. I'm not quite sure how it would fit into everything else though.
ɪɴᴛʀᴀɴꜱɪɢᴇɴᴛ ; hmm. I don't know what the object would be! I like the idea of something really powerful like the ressurection stone, but I hear you on that. maybe it's something unique to North America, since that's where Portland is? idk,, rip me
Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs ; don't worry! everyone's been busy lately, myself included. don't worry about it--you've contributed a lot to this!
inky ; aww, thank you so much! that means a lot <3 hopefully you won't be kept waiting too much longer!

Post by intentional on Nov 20, 2016 14:44:32 GMT -5
yay! those pairings are p great!!!
i like fire tests gold and death before defeat and war of all against all i guess for the title we should choose something that encompasses everything so something broad like ‘death before defeat’ and ‘war of all against all’ sounds the best!!!
so excited for this you don’t even know!!

Post by Deleted on Nov 20, 2016 14:52:07 GMT -5
alright awesome! I'll add those to the front page under the plot or whatever section
tbh I like all of them, but if I had to choose, it's between 'death before defeat' and 'fire tests gold'. hmm.. probably the first one. let's wait to hear what the others say though.
dude I'm so psyched for this. I've literally already got my characters planned out and ready to rock n' roll.

I like 'fire tests gold' and 'death before defeat' most as well, and I probably prefer the former over the latter but i like them both. 'fire tests gold' sounds better in latin imo because three word titles usually sounds better than two word titles, but they mean things that I like equally.
