CANON TRY OUTS

[Wandlore Staff]

Hello, children! Well, seeing as roleplay has just started/will be started, I guess we should bring up those characters everyone wants? They seem to be quite popular if you ask me. Anyways, this is how things will work around here, mm'kay? I will give you a list of the canons allowed in this roleplay, and you who want a character, may, with your best work, apply to roleplay one of these characters. That way this is not some first-come-first-serve basis and everyone feels left out. No, no, no! We want everyone to have a chance. This is the current generation roleplay, so thus we have the characters they have in the book. This is before everything dramatic happens, too, but we can include some of the plots into one or two of the roleplays. Shall we begin?

Now, I know I didn't put in all of the characters, but that would take forever. If there is a character here you'd like to roleplay, simply state that. Ahh, now we get to see who gets who! To apply for a character, you must fill this out:

Your Name: Your name, of course.
How long you've been roleplaying: Not required, and no it won't guarantee anything if someone has had 4+ years. I just want to know.
Who you are auditioning for: Who you want.
Why: Why do you want this character?
Roleplay Example: Must be AT LEAST two paragraphs. Make sure it's your best work.

[b]Your Name:[/b]
[b]How long you've been roleplaying:[/b]
[b]Who you are auditioning for:[/b]
[b]Why:[/b]
[b]Roleplay Example:[/b]


Note that most teachers are going to need to be taken, too, because then we can have our classes. xD


Now, for the set dates!
You can start filling out the form now, and everyone will be judged according to how well they play that certain character. You may post here, or send a PM (personal message) to me. You all have until FEBRUARY 1ST to submit this form.

Nobody wants to apply for one of them?

Oh, I think I forgot to add...

THE WINNER FOR EACH CHARACTER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FEBRUARY 4TH.

[Tori]

Your Name:Tori
How long you've been roleplaying: Since 2003 ? .. Yeah(:
Who you are auditioning for: Ginny Weasley
Why:She's my favorite character !
Roleplay Example:Alex could tell Rose was happy to see him. Though he really did hope she didn’t hear any of the rumors about him. People were saying he hit Bella, broke her heart, and then made out with her best friend. Not all of that was true. The fact that some of it was true nearly broke Alex’s heart. The day after the party in the Room of Requirement Alex couldn’t stand to be alone. He didn’t want to deal with his own thoughts. The truth of what happened during the party in the ROR was awful. Alex and Bella had gotten drunk; Bella hugged Drew, so Alex, being a dumbass, called her a whore. Then he left the party with Sobri. He cheated on Bella. He broke her heart. But Alex did have to admit; Sobri was great in the sack.

The smile that spread upon Rose’s face made Alex melt. She was fucking gorgeous and her smile lit up the whole room. Alex realized he was staring at Rose’s mouth and quickly looked away. Then he turned back and made eye contact with her for just a moment. Rose started making a joke about Alex’s compliment and he blushed a bit. -Ha if you call this rats nest of hair lovely, then I applaud you. I normally don’t let my hair look like this, but well I woke up late this morning… and well I didn’t want a detention tonight.- Alex gave a nervous chuckle. He noticed that Rose had a bad case of word vomit too. -At least we can be rambling fools together.- He thought, amusing himself.

Alex looked around the table noticing that he was sitting with mainly sixth years. This really didn’t bother him, but he was sure his six-foot tall figure made the other kids look like midgets. After a moment of hard thinking, Alex realized Rose was a sixth year. -No wonder the only class we have together is potions.- Alex also noticed Rose was very pretty and mature for only a sixth year. Alex really didn’t know too much about Rose. Well of course other than the fact that her parents where the famous -Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.- Shudders went done Alex’s spine as he thought of what would happen if he ever met her parents. Fersure he would do something dumb and terribly embarrassing. In a fast manner, Alex pushed all of the thoughts about how he would ruin a relationship with Rose that hadn’t even started to the back of his mind.

A couple billion seconds late, Alex responded to Rose’s comment about her hair. “Rose, your hair is fine. It’s got… Character.” He said while laughing. “And if you had detention tonight, you’d miss your own quidditch practice. That’s just bad captaining. Ravenclaw really needs help when it comes to quidditch. Hufflepuff is going to rule this year. I should know, I’m Hufflepuff captain.” Alex couldn’t help but laugh. Everyone knew Ravenclaw was much much better than Hufflepuff at Quidditch. It’s not like the huffles don’t try… It’s just that they really were too nice when it came to quidditch. Alex liked it call it “An under developed sense of aggression.” Alex had been holding extra practices and team bonding activities, just so Hufflepuff might actually have a chance this year. But, since the season had started, no such luck was discovered.

Alex looked down at the table and noticed it was salad. He wasn’t sure what kind, but salad was salad. Alex grabbed the tongs and placed a rather large size of salad onto his plate. Rose sounded nervous as she spoke again. 'So uhm… thanks for inviting me to lunch. You have no idea how excited I was… all day I couldn’t stop thinking about this moment.' She paused and Alex blushed. 'I hope that wasn’t to forward, err well I mean like I hope I didn’t say too much.' Alex thought about what she said. Maybe she wasn’t as mature as Alex had thought. It was only lunch; it wasn’t like he was asking her to marry him! But Alex decided he would make her feel better and play it off cool. “Yeah, no problem. I was stoked for our lunch plans too.” Then he added in, “Rose c’mon. With the reputation I’ve got, no one is too forward.” Alex laughed and even snorted! He immediately threw he hand over his mouth and turned red. -How embarrassing…- He thought. Hopefully Rose didn’t notice. -I’m such a jerk.- Alex thought. He was just thinking about how Rose was immature and he was the one who snorted! “Uh, sorry.” Alex said while he face turned back to its normal color.

Rose served herself some salad, and Alex started eating his serving. -Probably Cesar salad.- He thought, though Alex couldn’t be sure. The salad was actually pretty good. -The house elves did a great job.- He thought while filling his mouth with more salad. Rose started making small talk and asked Alex if he liked salad. To avoid awkward full mouth talking, Alex took a hardy swallow of his salad and answered her. “Salad is pretty good. I think I like junk food better though.” He said while laughing. “How about you? Are you a fan of this lettucey deliciousness?” Alex said while laughing again, almost snorting once more, but then stopped himself. Alex thought about his plans for the weekend. He had nothing going on. Of course, he had been invited to a few parties, but he really didn’t want to go. Considering, that Bella might be there, he really didn’t want to go. “Rose.” He said, waiting to make eye contact with her. “Would you like to have a picnic with me, on Saturday morning?” Alex was almost going to offer to make the food for the picnic, but he wasn’t a good cook. Somehow Alex even managed to burn to easiest of things; like noodles, toast, and even water once. -Maybe Rose could make food for us..- He thought while gazing into the gorgeous blue puddles which where her eyes.


OOC:// I wasn't god modding by the way, thats what the other person said (: //

Tori, by roleplay sample I meant with the character.
Just to see if you play them IC or not. We want them to go to
the right person, right? I feel bad asking, but can you re-do your
sample so that it is with Ginny? I know you worked hard on that one
but I can only count it if you use the character you are applying for...

[Tori]

Hah, my bad. I'm an airhead D: I'll redo it of course ! And that took me no time, I grabbed it out of my stories folder. NBD:) It just might take me a couple of days:)

Walking slowly towards the Quidditch pitch, Ginny glazed around the scenery. The morning was very quiet and still. Ginny was pretty much still asleep as she finally entered the quidditch pitch, glancing around for the one person she actually wanted to be with on a morning like this. She drew her breath in quickly while she searched the field for the one and only Harry Potter.

The second she spotted him it was like the air had been pushed out of her lungs. -Bloody hell..- She thought to herself as Harry picked up his broom and walked towards her. Even though Ginny had know Harry most of her life she still got butterflies in the stomach every time he came near her. -Thats what true love is supposed to feel like, isn't it?- Harry was now standing in front of her, broad smile at the ready. "You ready? I've got quite a day planned for us." He said, smiling once more. Ginny knew that when he said 'us' he meant the whole quidditch team, but she couldn't help but to smile when he said it. -us.- She thought, letting the world roll around in her mind. "Yeah, of course." She replied, as confident as she could. -This is definitely was true love is supposed to feel like..- And at that moment Harry mounted his broom, Ginny doing the same, and they flew off into the open sky, ready for a day to remember..

OKIE DOKIE!
Since only two people tried out, I guess these people automatically get their characters. xD

Congratulations Cassie! You got Draco Malfoy.
And also Congratulations to Tori who got Ginny Weasely.

Sorry for being a little late on this. ;

As for the rest of the characters, you can send me PMs about them and I guess you can have them. xD

[Kelly]

Your Name: Kelly
How long you've been roleplaying: Wow, I used to play around a long time ago, but I haven't role played in a while because of college.
Who you are auditioning for: Well, I was thinking either Hermione or Luna, but seeing how Hermione is a more important character and no one has signed up, I'll give her a try.
Why: I love both of those girls! I love how smart Hermione is and how kooky Luna is! They are both very strong ladies too, and that's a rarity.
Roleplay Example:

The streets are bustling in Diagon Alley today, filled with children and their parents spending money on school supplies. First years are chasing after black cats and trying to calm their caged up owls down. After leaving Gringotts Bank, well all walk over to The Leaky Cauldron where we are to meet up with Luna and Neville. Harry and I have been talking up a storm, but I just noticed that Ron and Ginny are being very quite in the background. I know they are still upset about The Burrow, but I haven’t seen Ron this quite ever! Since they burned it down, The Weasley’s have been staying at the Blacks old house, Number 12 Grimmauld Place.


“Are you guys ok? You seem so quite, and that certainly isn’t like either of you!”


They both look at me, Ginny gives me a half smile and nod, and Ron doesn’t even smile! It dawns on me all of a sudden. I have been keeping Harry’s ear from Ginny, and Ron has been wanting to talk to me! Those jealous buggers! They could have made an effort to involve themselves!

I elbow Harry, who is talking about Dumbledore, oh how we all miss him, and he yelps. Everyone is so sensitive! I give him the eye and he automatically knows what I’m talking about. Harry drops back with Ginny and I grab Ron’s hand to come up and walk next to me. I turn around and I can see Ginny beaming already.


“So Ronald, what are you going to order when we get to the pub? I’m really in the mood for some hot tea and soup.”

“I’m not really hungry anymore. My stomach has been turning and twisting ever since we came here.”


He shoots me a dirty look. I swear he is the most stubborn person ever! He can never just be happy, he always has to be miserable!


“Ronald, you’re acting ridiculous. We are all together and safe, and nothing should make you happier. You’re not always going to have my un divided attention! So please stop your belly aching and have a nice time with me … I mean, us!”


I can feel Ginny and Harry both staring at is and smirking. Ron looks at me and furrows his brow. He rolls his eyes and then opens the door to the Leaky Cauldron. I had no idea we were here. I step to the side and let Harry and Ginny pass. I can hear Luna and Neville greeting them inside. Ron looks at me and gestures to go in. I bite my lip and start forward but then I stop in front of him. If I’m going to stop Ron from acting like a child, I’ll have to start treating him like a man. My man! That sounds weird. I push all my butterflies down and face Ron. I lean forward almost to quickly and I do it! I’m kissing Ron on the lips! I can feel his hand grab my arm all tight, but then loosens up quick. For what feels like forever was only about 5 seconds, when I pull away. Ron has his eyes closed still and he looks so silly. I can’t help but smile even though I wanted to stay angry. That kiss was actually amazing. Ron finally opens his eyes and he slowly starts to smile. Now’s my chance.


HMMMPH!


I storm into the pub and start greeting and hugging Luna and Neville. I turn around and see Ron still standing in the door way staring at me with a smirk on his face. Oh boy, what have I done.

[Kristina Cleveland]

Kelly, well done!
I think you deserve Hermione. :)
You may go ahead and make an account for her and stuff.
But in the roleplay on the forum we are doing past tense third person.
