IN-SCHOOL ROLEPLAY (IS)
Many new `H`ers begin in school. To make a student, you can pick one of the four houses. A character's house is thought to represent their characteristics and you may want to put them in a house that matches their personality. The four houses are Gryffindor (brave, determined), Hufflepuff (patient, loyal), Ravenclaw (smart, creative), and Slytherin (ambitious, cunning). A student can be aged 11-18 (first years are aged 11-12, second years 12-13, and so on). They graduate in their seventh year upon the completion of their N.E.W.T.s (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests). Your student should wear something that resembles a school uniform (blacks, greys, and their house colours) and you should put their house, year, and character name in your motto (e.g. `H` G1 Joseph Barber). You can age your character at any pace that you would like.
(here are some example uniforms)
However, you don't necessarily have to roleplay a student to join IS roleplay. The school offers "staff positions" which can be applied for here.

OUT-OF-SCHOOL ROLEPLAY (OOS)
When you're not roleplaying inside `H`ogwarts School, you're considered "Out of School". This is split into the Ministry (Law Enforcement, Creatures and Law), St. Mungo's Hospital (Healing), Dark Roleplay (Criminals and Death Eaters), Press (Daily Prophet, Witch Weekly) and every other wizard job you can imagine. To get involved in OOS Roleplay the best thing to do first is to make a character. Characters can be from any age or background, and in your motto, you must have your character name at all times (e.g. `H` Jessica Kiln).
You should consider your character's personality when creating them. Are they more law-abiding? They may be a good fit for the Ministry in this case. Are they neutral learning? They can fit into any circle. Or are they dark leaning? They may find themself a criminal in Knockturn Alley.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q. CAN I ROLEPLAY A CANON CHARACTER OR FAMILY?
Our Roleplay is set several decades after the books. This means that all characters from the books are either dead or cease to exist. You cannot roleplay canon characters however you may join a canon family as an original character. You can ask to join a family that already has a Head, or if the family does not have a leader then you can ask the SS to create a family in that character. The canon family list and its current HoFs can be found here.
Q. HOW DO I JOIN A FORUM GROUP?
On our forums you can sort yourself into a forum group that you think you should be a part of. To do this, at the top of the forum click "Profile" -> "Groups" -> "Request to Join". Houses can be joined freely, but other groups in the forums will leave you pending until you're eligible to be a part of that group (for example Ministry Staff might not accept you until you get a job in the Ministry). There is also something called "bathrooms" in the roleplay, which are safe spaces for people to talk about their lives. For information on joining a bathroom click here.
Q. CAN I ROLEPLAY A TRAIT, CREATURE, ADVANCED MAGIC OR ARTEFACT?
Here at `H` we have "special abilities" called "traits", which are magical gifts that your character has. The information for applying for a trait can be found here. We have advanced magic(s), which are special branches of magic that can be read about here. We also have artefacts, objects that exist in our magical world and grant the user capabilities they would not have otherwise (such as going invisible). These can be found here. Lastly, we have magical creatures. Some are open, which means that anybody can roleplay them, and some are application-only which means you need special permission.
Q. WHAT JOBS CAN MY CHARACTER DO?
The most popular jobs for characters include Prefect, Professor, Magizoologist, Magical Law Enforcement Officer, Politician, Lawyer, Healer. These, and their higher ranks, have to be applied for. There are thousands of jobs that a wizard can do though and the majority of them (those that are not a part of the school or ministry) do not require an application. Getting a job can be a good way for your character to make friends and meet new roleplayers.
Q. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THERE'S ROLEPLAY?
The best way to keep involved with the Roleplay and its activities is to join our discord servers. You can join our main RP server by clicking this link here. If you do not have discord or do not wish to join the servers, that's fine too. The Hogwarts main room (search Fiendfyre) is a good place to wait for people to arrive, or you can be notified of roleplay by people sending out "mass room invites" on the client.
