| Ok . . . So, About These Character Sheets |
How long does it take for my character
sheet to be approved? How long does it take for my character
sheet to be approved? Can my character be related to
one of the main (canon) characters? Can my character be a teacher?
Or a house elf? Or a ghost? Or . . . ? I want to be an Animagus. Can I? I want my character to have a medical
condition. What are the rules for that? How do I change my username? I just registered for the board,
but I can't see any forums except for the out of character areas! What
gives? |
| Right . . . Well, I Filled Out the Character Sheet - What Now? (AKA Common New Student Questions) |
Will I get into the house I requested?
If not - why? Will I get into the house I requested?
If not - why? So, if a space opens up after
I've been sorted, can I move then? Do we have House Points? How do we earn
them and lose them? How do I advance my character in years? How do I graduate my
character and what happens after graduation? Come to Hogsmeade for Hogsmeade Trips Apply for certain teaching-type positions at Hogwarts For example, if you are interested in serving as an assistant to the Grounds Keeper, you would need to continually show that your character has an interest in plants, animals, etc and consistently develop this aspect of your character throughout their career at Hogwarts (or a good portion of it). Then, 30 days after you have graduated your character, you may apply for the position with the appropriate application. We feel this will allow our graduated students to remain in contact with friends who are still in school and also allow you to further develop your characters beyond what can be played out here at HPRPG.NET. If you have any questions, feel free to PM Sue! Note: This is ONLY for characters who have graduated. It does not include students who have left the school for other reasons! back to top of What Now Questions There's no forum for dorms, but I want
to play them! What do I do? Is it possible to get expelled? Can my character be in a relationship? Do I need special items (like an invisibility
cloak) approved like I would a special ability? What types of pets can I have? Can my character
have more than one pet? In what year is HPRPG taking place? Can you use the same email address for
more than one character? Can my character have a sibling? How
can they interact with them? Can I play out my sorting ceremony? Are we allowed to have more
than one character? I've never Role Played before, but it
looks like fun. How do I do it? What are some tips for good role playing? |
| "Hermione - it's the first day back! We haven't even got homework yet!" (AKA Questions About Classes, Homework, etc) |
What's with all of the teachers? What's with all of the teachers? I can't post in any of the classes.
Is there something that I am doing wrong, or do you need to give me
permission or something? What are the core and non-core
classes offered at Hogwarts and will more be available? Do I have to attend classes and RP
in them all? I have to do homework?? For a forum??? Do we have exams? If so, how are they graded? If my character needs to talk to a teacher, what
do I need to do? How do OWLs and NEWTS work? What happens in summer when school is
not in session? Are there times when classes are
not open? What happens if I join a classroom
thread late? How long do classes last? |
| "Write ... be good ... if you've forgotten anything we'll send it on ... on to the train, now, hurry ..." (AKA Questions About Posts and Posting) |
Are our posts deleted after time, or can
we go back and reread them? Are our posts deleted after time, or can
we go back and reread them? I've been posting a lot, but my post
count never seems to go up. What's up with that? If you exit a thread, can you enter
it again? I was in a thread for
a while, but now I can't seem to post. Is it locked? Do threads in a special event (like the
Yule Ball) count towards the thread limit? Can we use our character journals
for other things such as creative writing purposes and poetry from our
character's point of view? What would I do if
I wanted to get out of a thread if people aren't replying or I just
wanted to get out of the thread and move to another one? |
| "Quidditch! Is that all boys care about?" (AKA Questions About Quidditch) |
How do I join the Quidditch
Team? How do I join the Quidditch Team? Most teams have a 'first-string' or a starting line-up and a 'second string' or alternate
line-up. In order to qualify for either line up you must be
actively roleplaying your quidditch character. (Posts in OOC areas do not count!) A
player must have posted in the last 2-3 weeks prior to a Quidditch
match to be considered a STARTING player. Any inactive quidditch player will be moved to the ALTERNATE squad. It is preferred
that players have 75 posts before they are placed as a STARTING player,
though exceptions can be made. Continued inactivity will lead to removal
from the Quidditch Team. I can't find the quidditch rules!
Can someone point me in the right direction? When is the next Quidditch Match? |
| "D'you think - would it be all right if - can I have a picture?" (AKA Questions About Avatars, Graphics, Images, etc.) |
How do I post a picture
within my post? How do I post a picture within my
post? Am
I allowed to post pictures in my posts? How do I post an Avatar? You know, that
cool picture under people’s names? So where do I get an avatar? I've
seem some really cool ones here! How do I get one of them? What type of avatar is appropriate? Where can I host my images? I know
you host the avatars, but I'd like to put an image in my signature.
Any ideas? If any of these are out of date, not working, or not accepting memberships
any longer, please PM Sue and let her know, as we like to keep this
up to date! How do you put a picture into your signature? I love to draw! Can I offer to make
things for people here? I don't make my own graphics. Are there
some images on the site that anyone can use for an avatar? How do I resize images or change them
from bmps to gifs? Are we allowed to post dolls that
we make from doll makers in sigs if we show credits? What do I do if someone is using the same
image/model as me? |
