The Rest of the RP Crew

In a previous post I discussed some of my RP characters and a fanfiction piece I wrote on the history on Pureblood Club (which is still in progress). Now I thought it would be interesting to explore a few of my other RP characters.
Cygnus Fawcett was my first RP character. I created her to be very similar to myself in many ways, but she grew to be something entirely different after her experiences in Pureblood Club.

Cygnus was born on November 2 to Colleen and Aaron Fawcett. She was named after her grandmother, on her mother's side (A famous Seer), who died shortly before her birth and her mother's best friend from Hogwarts. She takes after her mother mainly being strong-willed and a bit of a know-it-all. She works hard for what she wants and will not be persuaded against something she is set on getting. She is also konwn to have a bit of her father in her which helps to get her into trouble by speaking her mind without considering the consequences.
She was sorted into Gryffindor, a pleasant surprise because she expected to be placed in Ravenclaw.

Cygnus is deeply in love with Tavis Burke, but she often lies about it because she knows he won't ever get back together with her because she's left PC, she thinks she can change him and won't consider dating him until she has successfully done so, and she doesn't want him to know yet. She's trying to crush PC because she thinks without Pureblood Club, Tavis will lose hope and come running back to her. Yes, she's a bit delluded.

After much introspection, and a meeting with Tom Campbell (another former member of PC), she decided on a course of action. She spent a year trying to put herself back together (with a few relapses into mild insanity with brewing love potions and such) so that she can successfully carry out her mission. Since hearing that Tavis has returned to Hogwarts, and not hearing of Vada (his old girlfriend), she decided the timing is perfect for her to act.She "dated" Amina (sort of) in hopes of using that fact to lure Tavis into a false sense of security around her. Then, she joined the Patronus Club 1) for protection since Tom Campbell was murdered by the Pureblood Club for his desertion and 2) to have information to offer Tavis to make her of value to Pureblood Cluband be allowed back in to bring it crashing down from inside. Crazy much?

After graduating Hogwarts, Cygnus hasn't done much with her life. She moved back home to Ireland with her parents where she spends most of her time in isolation. No one has gotten an answer as to why when they've asked.Right before graduation, Cygnus discovered the death of Columba, her cousin, at the hands of the PC. She'd been under the impression that Tavis's feelings for her and for Columba (something Cygnus had acknowledged deep down but not wanted to face) would protect her. She was wrong. This threw all her former aspirations and ideas about the PC into turmoil. How could she have thought that she could single-handedly overturn this organization? How could she go head-to-head with Tavis and expect to come out victorious, or even alive?

After a pe
riod of mourning, she spent much time in introspection. Was what she was doing worthwhile? She had been a real member at one point. Did that part of her exist deep down still? Would she spend the rest of her life flip-flopping back and forth? She emerged from this introspection a completely changed person and tracked down the one person she knew she could still talk to, however dangerous it might be--Tavis Burke.

If you know
Tavis at all and if you know his relationship with Cygnus, you can be sure that you know exactly what happened in their little meeting. No, not that. He accepted her back into the group, when it reforms. But it wasn't actually because of his feelings for her. He noted an extreme change in Cygnus. She wasn't the Cygnus he knew anymore. She was more like she used to be before she left the group. He coudln't pinpoint the exact cause of the change, but it didn't matter much to him.

Now for some Out of Character facts on albinism that might help you understand her/RP with her.
-do not call her an albino. She will take great offense and use the curses she learned in PC on you. Even if she doesn't hear you, I'll read it and send you an owl, probably.
-she's visually impaired as a result of having albinism
-she's ext
remely light sensative, but she will go out in the sun *smacks head*
-her eyes are not red. I repeat, her eyes are NOT RED. They are blue, sometimes with a violet tinge.
-she has no special powers relating to having albinism
-her parents d
o not have albinism
-if you have any other questions, PM me.
-if you say I got something relating to albini
sm wrong, I will yell. I have albinism myself. I think that gives me t
he authority on the subject.
-I'm not trying to be mean. I've encountered too many arrogant know-it-all people on this site for my liking.



Rhoswen was my first character from WADA, and I love her for that, but I haven't ever RPed her much. She was modeled after one my ex-girlfriends, though, and I thought she'd be lot of fun because of that.

Rhoswen Astleywas born on July 11 while her parents were on tour with a theatre troupe in Paris. Her mother was playing the role of Queen Gertrude in
Hamlet and had to hide that she was pregnant throughout production for fear she wouldn't be allowed to perform. During one of the performances, she went into labor. After delivering Rhos during intermission, she went back to finish the show. That dedication to their craft was instilled in Rhos during the course of her childhood.

She grew up backstage of many productions, learning to love the classics and the art as a whole. Her parents played a little role in her life, but she felt she had several parents as the other actors of the troupe stepped in to make sure she was never left out or bored.

Her first role was Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream at age ten. She then truly understood why her parents loved the theatre. She's been hooked ever since.

She knew her parents were a witch and wizard, but it was never really discussed or used due to the close proximity of the other troupe members. So when, at age eleven, she got her acceptance letter from W.A.D.A. (Wizarding Academy of the Dramatic Arts), she decided to take her place at the school and learn all she could about her craft and witchcraft. Leaving her parents wasn't particularly difficult, but leaving the troupe as a whole was somewhat heart-wrenching.

However, WADA was more than she could have expected! She loved everything about it, the people, the classes, the magic, the productions. That's why when one of her professors told her she should consider transferring to Hogwarts last year she cried. They insisted that her acting had reached a level that she didn't need them, but her magic was lacking. She needed more instruction than they could provide.

Being a true Ravenclaw spirit, she always read as much as possible and excelled in subjects that didn't require practical instruction; magic had been particularly difficult for her, but she loved it. It was a challenge that she wanted to rise to. So, Hogwarts, here she comes!

She's been in and out of relationships for as long as she can remember. Boys started taking an interest in her from a young age (her first beau was at four), and it just continued. She's attracted a large variety of people for all her life, and she loves it. In fact, she's developed a sort ofdependence on relationships. She loves the attention she gets from the person she's dating, dishing on her crushes and dates, and everything about it. It's part of what brings her to the spotlight.

A few years ago, at age eleven, she discovered that she was a lesbian. She's dated boys since then, but not seriously. All her relationships are light and fun, and no one should take them
too seriously, but they often do. She's broken her fair share of hearts in this crazy game she plays, but she won't give it up for anything.
She's currently single because of her transfer to Hogwarts, having left behind her most current girlfriend (Meegan), and she's sort of freaking out about it.


By far, my most popular (by RPers, not characters) is Mehren Blair, and I have to admit that she's quite fun to RP just because she's pretty much the exact opposite of myself.

Mehren was a founding member of Pureblood Club. It was, actually, originally her idea in her third year. Her close friends helped her create it.

At an early age, a prominent pureblood matchmaker promised Mehren's hand to Dimitro Dolohov (Antonin Dolohov's son who is ten years Mehren's senior). Though she appears to resist this match by partaking in several "relationships" (read: one night stands), she knows she will succumb to marriage upon her graduation from Hogwarts to this upstanding pureblood and fellow Death Eater. All that being said, it might be of importance to note that she is bisexual.

We've found out that her sister (her hidden and extremely secret sister named Moira) was bitten by a werewolf at an early age and Mehren was forced to watch her be locked away in the cellar for years. Right before she went to Hogwarts, her parents ordered fellow Death Eaters to murder their second (and last) child. Mehren was forced to watch to see yet another piece of filth be purged. Gruesome? Yes, it was. She's been scarred ever since, but that explains her ability to stand up for werewolves. Here's that post:

"My sister and I were very close." Yes, Mehren had a sister. Or...used to. "Not many people knew she even existed. Most thought she got sick when she was about six and died four years later. It was a lie. She was a year younger than I was, and we did everything together. Except one night. She fancied a walk under the moon. She said it was a beautiful night. I was tired, and just getting over a bit of sickness, so I refused to go with her. If I had...it might have been I that got the bite."

She drew a great, unsteady breath before continuing. She hadn't told this story to anyone before. Tavis just...knew.
"My parents hid her away in the cellar, held a funeral, and everything. I always went to visit her whenever I could hide it from my parents. Eventually, they couldn't take the strain of hiding it from all their Death Eater friends. They-they told them what was going on. Her death was ordered, and I was forced to watch. They said it would do me good to see a family purged of filth. I was eleven at the time, ready to go to Hogwarts the next day."
The entire story was told without the slightest hint of emotion. If she risked showing a bit, she'd utterly break down. She knew it.


She became a Death Eater in the middle of her sixth year and does all she can to serve the Dark Lord from within the confines of Hogwarts.

Last year, Lucius sent Mehren on a task, telling her he required assistance to protect his family tree from being infiltrated with filth. Giving her no other information, she was sent on her way with every intention of completing her task. When she found her mark, however, she was greatly disturbed to find out that he was a werewolf in love with a pureblood witch distantly related to the Malfoys. Given her history with her sister, she couldn't go through with it and immediately went into hiding to avoid Lucius who she knew would be furious. Dimitro, after being fed a story about how she failed to find her mark and execute Lucius' task, provided her with a hiding place with his friends the Silverpaws where she stayed for a month while Dimitro fed Lucius the story he took for true and allowed him to calm down. During this time, she grew quite close to Braeden Silverpaw, as did Tavis Burke (or as close as Tavis can get to people) during his brief stay to visit Mehren.

Not much else is known about her because she rarely confides in anyone. All she is ever really known
for is her appearance or her rather Bellatrix-like nature which is the reasoning behind her nickname "Bella" which a few PC members use to refer to her.


Sophie is another one of my soft spots in RP. She'd modeled greatly after Abby on NCIS, hence my choice to use that actress as her playby. I loved RPing her, especially during her days in Pureblood Club and during her nauseatingly cute romance with a boy like herself in PC.

Sophie was born to Ambrosius Flume and Helena Smith (Hepzibah Smith's daughter) on October 30, one day shy from what would be her favorite holiday, in Hogsmeade. She's lived there ever since, and it seemed only natural for her to attend Hogwarts when she came of age. She's quite popular in the Ravenclaw house for her connection with her father (an affiliate of Honeydukes Sweetshop).

She's very unique in personality to match her appearance. She's quite blunt and tends to not have a brain-mouth filter; she'll tell you things exactly how they are. She'll ask questions that most people wouldn't dare to as well. Sophie would tell you that if you don't ask, you'll never learn. She's a true Ravenclaw through and through in that respect. Although she might seem innocent and easily swayed, you'll soon find that appearances are quite deceiving. She'll want all the facts before jumping into something, and she isn't going to be converted to another's way of thinking easily.

Her life growing up was quite normal, and she's been somewhat sheltered from what happened previously with Voldemort and what clearly happened again. Her parents were under the assumption that if they kept their heads down, they wouldn't get in trouble.

Being a Ravenclaw, however, Sophie has a thirst for knowledge and wants to know exactly what is going on so that she can protect her family in the best way she can. She wasn't sure which side to take, given her upbringing. She was at the point where she was attempting to find the information she desires without endangering anyone (hopefully).

She joined the Pureblood Club which she knew to be populated with friends and children of Death Eaters (and she hoped a few actual Death Eaters). She had contemplate
d seeking out information on the White Dove Society (which she heard about from another Ravenclaw), but she felt there was more protection from the Death Eater's side. She didn't put much faith in the Doves, and would rather feel close to those in charge. She's now trying to prove her worth to stay in this group.

Sophie struggles a lot with her forever single status. It's a very sore spot for her. She greatly resents the fact that she's always looked at as the "cute, smart girl" and isn't really desired by anyone. She's so desperate for attention that she'd accept it from almost anyone. That would be one of her biggest flaws.

Sophie is in her final year at Hogwarts, a year she dreaded beyond anything else.
Reese was supposed to be gone. It had looked bleak, but he returned to live in Hogsmeade, she suspected, to be near her. She didn't need to voice this opinion; it was fairly obvious.

Things were looking up, especially now that they were together again. PC seemed to be dead, or that was what their sources were saying. There had been no ominous whispers or threats in the halls of Hogwarts. It seemed after the long battle with Voldemort, the world would really be at peace. Sophie, after several months of hearing nothing, even let go of her disguise after much apprehension.

Now, with nothing looking to go wrong, Sophie is greatly looking forward to graduation, a potential life with Reese (though she hasn't voiced that idea yet either), and a bright and promising future. What could possibly go wrong?
