Please be aware of and adhere to all iwaku rules.
Please do not post anything but your character sheet in this thread. All other posts will be deleted, including placeholders. If you post WIP character sheets, please indicate that they are WIP, and message me when they are complete. If you never let me know it's complete, I'll never know to look back at the final product!
You will be notified of your acceptance with the green check mark emoji, or the "ah seen it" reaction from me. Once approved, you will be sent a discord link where you will be able to collaborate on potential history with any other approved members. Discord will also act as a place for any relevant updates and a place to collaborate with your fellow players as the plot progresses. Nothing says you are required to join the discord server, however, please note that you will miss a large portion of the player wide collaboration and comraderie.
All players must be able and willing to post detailed, character driven posts with a sense of collaborative effort to push the plot forward. This means every post by your fellow players needs the attention you would want in your own posts. Please read what others have written, even if your character is never mentioned. You may miss key points to latch onto that could be something for your character to explore with another!
Realistic face claims are required, but I will not accept any face claims that look to be pulled from an instagram model or influencer, or have a selfie quality. Please stick to the genre. While this is set in the modern era, bear in mind your characters are witches and wizards working in the Ministry of Magic and are less likely to carry a cell phone for such photos. I highly recommend movie stills and screenshots as the lighting and quality can be quite nice, and it has less of a "this person exists in real life" feel that makes instagram/selfies unsettling to utilize for this genre of RP.
Feel free to code your CS as you like. Acceptance is not based on how pretty the CS looks, but I understand people do enjoy coding, so as long as your CS includes the below, I do not mind what appearance it takes.
I understand the Wizarding World has more than just humans involved. If you want to play something special, PM me first and make a case for it. Why do you want your character to be that special something? How do you plan on making it a trait that won't detract from the plot or place too much limelight on your character that shoves your peers into secondary status? Does being the special race, or having the special ability, define them, or is it just an aspect of them? How did they come to work for the Ministry with the trait(s)? Is it due to the trait(s), or is it of a different merit?
Due to the nature of some special species and rare abilities within the Wizarding World, I would prefer all players to be human. I'll make exceptions if the player can guarantee it won't be too edgy or too OP. Playing an elf, for example, can get very overpowered. Feel free to PM me about making an exception! While I can't guarantee I'll approve it, I also can't guarantee that I won't.

This roleplay will take place in the year 2020. It's been 22 years since the end of the Second Wizarding War. Harry Potter has been an Auror ever since his graduation, and a damned good one at that. Recent events have called him to the States to accompany MACUSA in an ongoing investigation that ties in with one of his own. The Aurors left behind will be a bit excited by his absence, as there is always a lingering feeling that he was getting all the good cases. This is their time to shine now! Time to take on a case that will lead to a promotion.
The Ministry of Magic is home to several departments, all of which can be quite relevant to the plot. There's no need to feel that you must be an Auror! As the main governing body of the magical community in Great Britain, there is a wide variety of opportunities.
Please feel free to read about the Ministry of Magic and the departments on each level. If you are having any difficulties accessing the information, please let me know!
The current Minister for Magic will still be Hermoine Granger. I do not anticipate having to NPC her much, if at all, as I can have a representative for the most part.

Six days ago, the witch Jessilda Gatherdy was arrested and charged for the public torture and murder of a Muggle by means of the Cruciatus and Killing Curse. She is currently held within Azkaban Prison to await her trial. While not much has been revealed of her preliminary interrogation, her family believes her to have been under the influence of the Imperius Curse.
It has been quite the cleanup, but most traces of the incident have been completely wiped from Muggle minds, though it is still quite the stir within the magical community. The Daily Prophet has released multiple interviews with the Gatherdy family, and an ongoing press investigation that has, at times, come to clash with the more official investigation at the Ministry of Magic.
A witness to the crime was a Squib by the name of Alice D'Avignon, who has since come through in a controversial interview with the Daily Prophet that spoke out against the Statute of Secrecy, stating that had the Muggles been aware of what to look for, the Muggle's death would have been avoided. She even stated that had she been provided the means to help as an aware non-magic, then the incident would have ended very differently.
There is still a mess that needs to be cleaned, and whispers of unrest on the horizon.
