1x1 between @Cognition and @rissa

TWELVE YEARS PRIOR TO CURRENT DAY
Five of the blessed generation are sent on a quest of strength and serendipity to secure resources for the coming winter. Three weeks in, they get caught in a vicious early-autumn storm. Rain turned to hail which eased into snow, but frost now blankets the forests north of Yaggr Hall.


It hurt to breathe. To open her mouth. To inhale the frigid, smoke laced air. She was thankful for its warmth, there was little doubt of that, but still, the smoke stung her eyes as she tried to sleep and her lungs as she tried to breathe and her pride at the inability to move beyond its red-hot benevolence even for a moment. She tried not to sigh— it would surely wake Svenson beside her and alert Blom to her premature rise.

She'd already peeked; dusk had not yet settled into the landscape. She and Lars were to take the night watch and another hour or so would do them well when the night settled in and the forest came alive with the sounds of beasts. The past few nights had been quiet. Eerily so, and it left a bad taste in her mouth, with an itchy frustration not unlike a piece of gristle stuck between one's tooth.

Skaggi Unfrid grit her teeth at the thought, the constant chattering of teeth and idle complaints from her companions rattling between her ears amidst her own doubts and worries.

"It's too fucking cold."

"Aye, it is. Too cold to fuckin' hunt and I'm hungry."

"Shouldn't've scarfed down yer rations like that—"

"My beard's starting to freeze."

"Fuck off, Blom, so are my balls." Ebbe spat, continuing on. "We're lucky we found that wolf pack and whittled it down early."

"Yeah, any larger and they'd get arrogant enough to go south and pick off the sheep in one large go. Like they did when we were kids, remember?"

"Well yeah, I do— but the pelts came in handy, too. Hate to think of us waiting this out without them."

"Aye, true."

Skaggi let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding, the tension in her body temporarily removed. It was true; the wolves had been fortuitous. Each of them laid under a mound of furs and pelts, like trolls under their own shaggy knolls and she was thankful.

But that itch behind her naval, that stench of fear she could taste at the back of her throat?

Skaggi inhaled. It burned her nostrils, her lungs. She exhaled. A plume of fog tickled her nose.

She no longer felt the rhythmic breathing against her back, the minute vibrations between the stacked pelts and the languid, half-frozen bodies cramped in the shallow grotto. The conversation continued on but Skaggi dismissed them, reached into her mind and then projected.

Lars? Should we try and scout before the sun goes down? Try and find a fox or a squirrel?

wand info from pottermore @ jkrowling

Shikoba Wolfe, who was of Choctaw descent, was primarily famous for intricately carved wands containing Thunderbird tail feathers (the Thunderbird is a magical American bird closely related to the phoenix). Wolfe wands were generally held to be extremely powerful, though difficult to master. They were particularly prized by Transfigurers.

Johannes Jonker, a Muggle-born wizard whose No-Maj father was an accomplished cabinet maker, turned himself into an accomplished wandmaker. His wands were highly sought after and instantly recognisable, as they were usually inlaid with mother-of-pearl. After experimenting with many cores, Jonker’s preferred magical material was hair of the Wampus cat.

Thiago Quintana caused ripples through the magical world when his sleek and usually lengthy wands began entering the market, each encasing a single translucent spine from the back of the White River Monsters of Arkansas and producing spells of force and elegance. Fears about over-fishing of the monsters were assuaged when it was proven that Quintana alone knew the secret of luring them, a secret he guarded jealously until his death, at which point wands containing White River Monster spines ceased production.

Violetta Beauvais, the famous wandmaker of New Orleans, refused for many years to divulge the secret core of her wands, which were always made of swamp mayhaw wood. Eventually it was discovered that they contained hair of the rougarou, the dangerous dog-headed monster that prowled Louisiana swamps. It was often said of Beauvais wands that they took to Dark magic like vampires to blood, yet many an American wizarding hero of the 1920s went into battle armed only with a Beauvais wand, and President Picquery herself was known to possess one.

MACUSA, The Magical Congress of the United States of America


[fieldbox="Directly from Pottermore, silver, solid, Garamond"]"The Magical Congress of the United States of America, known to American witches and wizards by the abbreviation MACUSA (commonly pronounced as: Mah – cooz – ah) was created in 1693, following the introduction of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. Wizards worldwide had reached a tipping point, suspecting that they could lead freer and happier lives if they built an underground community that offered its own support and had its own structures. This feeling was particularly strong in America, due to the recent Salem Witch Trials.

MACUSA was modeled on the Wizards’ Council of Great Britain, which predated the Ministry of Magic. Representatives from magical communities all over North America were elected to MACUSA to create laws that both policed and protected American wizardkind.

MACUSA’s primary aim was to rid the continent of Scourers, corrupt wizards who had hunted their fellow magical beings for personal gain. MACUSA’s second great law enforcement challenge was the number of wizarding criminals who had fled to America from Europe and beyond, precisely because of the lack of organised law enforcement such as existed in their own countries."

what a silver heart sized mess
The Silver Heart Circle​

Darkness flourishes in America and the melting pot of No-Maj and wizarding folk can feel it. Terrible things are happening; to witches, wizards, and No-Majs alike. Dementors breed openly, ripening the anger and depression that haunts the fifty states. Reports of Giant activity continue to escalate in Appalachia and the Rockies. MACUSA warns of imminent attack, but the Statute of Secrecy forbids them to inform the No-Majs. Aurors work overtime to eliminate the magical threat, while police try to subdue the non-magical ones. Circa 2019: Society is on the brink of collapse after a sudden and devastating stock market crash which caused unemployment to rise over forty-three percent. The decline of the U.S. economy over the past few years has certainly played a factor in today's society. They say we're on the heels of the Second Great Depression, but government officials refuse to admit such things.

There are of course, hidden agendas behind the fall of American power. The Red Serpent, a wizard-folk terror group that has steadily gained power over the past seventeen years, has begun their long-promised reign of terror. It took them longer than expected, but with enough followers the Red Serpent is now able to collect its dues. A ring of unsolved murders has taken place inside the wizarding community and is quickly spilling into the No-Maj one. In the southern states, No-Maj authorities have warned citizens a serial killer walks among them after four seemingly unexplainable murders rocked the newscast.

In magical communities, you can never be too sure on whom to trust. Is your neighbor a member of the vicious Red Serpent? Has the batty old lady down the road been acting extra strange lately? Maybe she's under the Imperius Curse. Maybe your neighbor is too. Paranoia is strife within the wizarding community, worried to speak against the Red Serpents in fear of retribution. We all know what happened to the Coppertree family after Ian Coppertree dueled the Serpent Twins and managed to injure one. They let him escape, bloodied and close to death himself; only to return in the dead of night, breaking through powerful protection spells to slaughter the entire family. Ian and Amelia Coppertree had twelve year old twin daughters, who also lost their lives that night.

With fear growing in the hearts of witches, wizards, and No-Majs alike -- there has been talk of a prophecy uttered by an enlightened shaman centuries ago. Thus Silver Heart comes into play. The Silver Heart Circle is secret organization, akin to the Order of the Phoenix that has patrolled the streets of wizard-folk America for almost a century. This RP will follow the trial and errors of the newest members of the Silver Heart Circle as they raise their wands to protect themselves, the ones they love, and their country against the forces of darkness.

Hello! So this is a roleplay that I've been thinking about for awhile now and it's finally blossoming into fruition. (woot woot) Inspired mainly by JkRowling's writing on Pottermore, I give you The Silver Heart Circle, a modern Harry Potter-esque roleplay.

Writing Expectations: Adept to Advanced
Writing Length Expectations: 3 to 4 paragraphs per post
Posting Requirements: Once weekly
Miscellaneous Requirements: Follow all Iwaku rules and any and all rules I may enforce. Be kind and courteous to one another in OOC and or Discord. Try not to argue with me, I'll win regardless of what you say. And finally, have fun, it's what we're here for.

padding-left: 25px;]As a Metamorphmagi, one of the biggest concerns is the ability of returning to your original appearance. For some, it’s as natural as breathing air after completely altering themselves. It’s not always the case. Liv tends to lose himself in the shift in his appearance, leaving him struggling to try and recall the minute details of his original forms. Despite using recent photos of himself, there are days that Liv feels like he’s wearing a mask. This isn’t the face or body he was born with. One of the hardest things for Liv is having to describe his own appearance.

Going by the latest image, he is a young male adult with a rather lanky frame. There are little characteristics that makes Liv blend in a crowd to the point he’d disappear. He just looks like any other stock image model and extra in a movie. Only one thing could be noted: his eyes. Liv seems to have the type of stare that could make anyone uncomfortable if he stared at them for too long, especially if they don’t pick up his presence. His hair is rather plain in color and cut. Light brown and kept short, his hair takes on a “fluffier” texture, especially if styled.[/div][/div][/div][/div][/div][/div]

color: #cccccc;][b]STRENGTH[/b] ▬
[u]Undetectable[/u] ▬ For the longest time, Liv has a knack for entering rooms without people detecting his presence. It’s no work of magic. Rather, it’s his innate ability to blend and remain unnoticed that allows him to “sneak” into most places. However, this strength had regularly backfired while he attended Ilvermorny. He had served detention quite a few times for being “absent” despite him being present during classes.

[u]Observation[/u] ▬ All those years living behind the scenes and drawing has given Liv a keen sense of sight. He can pick up things that are easily missed by those distracted by white noise such as their own busy thoughts and distractions. The smallest of details have a way of coming forth from the “whole picture.”

[u]Legging It[/u] ▬ What he lacks in physical strength and combat skills, Liv makes it up for how quickly he can book it. All those years of bullies chasing him down had allowed Liv to build up stamina and slight acrobatic skills to get away from them (in the form of easily scaling a fence and having the energy to keep running). If he’s lucky enough, he could possibly outrun anyone wanting to catch him because of the amount of physical energy he has.

[b]WEAKNESS[/b] ▬
[u]Strength[/u] ▬ Liv lacks the physical capacities of strength in order to properly defend himself and lift something pretty heavy. For the most part, he’s just a weakling that constantly flinches when someone abruptly moves a hand his way.

[u]Book Smarts[/u] ▬ School was never Liv’s strong suit. For the most part, lessons seemed to go in one ear and out the other. He struggled to graduate, leaving him with only a select few things he could recall because it was practically beaten into him over and over again. These key pieces of information are mostly from his History of Magic studies.

[u]Positive Feedback[/u] ▬ A tricky, double-sided sword, giving Liv positive feedback could result in two things. One, he doesn’t believe you and does everything he can to justify how it amounts to nothing. Two, it becomes a sort of drug for Liv. He’s starved for recognition of any kind that he would accept it from the worst of the worst and continue to do what he can to receive more from them. If the later happens, Liv can easily be taken advantaged and swayed to get this attention [i]by any means[/i].

[b]BOGGART[/b] ▬ 
Nothing. It embodies his fear that his worthlessness is in fact true, and a creature like a Boggart doesn’t even acknowledge Liv’s presence.
