Looks good, either PM or add in the animal form and I'll accept it.
 
Sorry for the delay! I ended up with a Migraine last night and this morning, my boyfriend was like "If you help me clean the house, I'll take you to a fireworks show later." How can I say no!?

And playing a strong male is absolutely no problem with me! That was the idea I was going for, to be completely honest. So that works out great. :) If anything changes between now and the time I get my character up, please let me know!
 
You didn't read the OOC!

You mean those extra notes from the rules? I mentioned that in the note before my CS. Either way I'll fix it when I get in front of a computer
 
@Lannister we've got 2 strong muscly men to ogle, you don't need to make a musclebound character now. Feel free to focus on whatever you like!

@You Accepted - just read up on the house rules, Luke's ladyfriend will be SPOILT ROTTEN under the condition that Dorothy is able to pointedly remain oblivious to the goings-on in the bedroom. And everyone else, for that matter. Dot loves guests and she's fairly open about how the Association works, and the best part? Luke's girlfriend doesn't have to do chores whilst everyone else does.

Thanks! I actually threw that in as a joke, intending for them to have broken up sometime in the past four years lol. But we'll see
 
Ahh, alright.

Guys.

Guys.

If Sylvester is accepted, we may be able to start this RP. I think I might close signups now, to be honest, we've got a full cast for the moment - @Lannister you can still make your CS, @Mippu @Boss Megu just finish the final tweaks and you're both set (I don't think either of you have specified if you're a newcomer or a regular in your CS? Please do so) and @WitchcraftIsScience I hope I didn't scare you away because you've still got a spot if you remake your CS too.

Sorry, @Ythania. I really wanted him to be Metamorphmagus. Would it fit the story better if he was an Animagus?

Oh actually, about that...
I wrote down that Syl's father referred him to Mdm. Dotty 9 years ago. Given the timeline, he should be a regular for 9 years if he got in.
 
Are you still accepting for this one?
We JUST closed sign-ups. You'll have to wait until the next chapter, I'm afraid!

I PM'd you, go take a look.

Just pop it into your CS for future reference (I think it's already there, I'm going to check now) and you'll be set. And yeah, you can be a Metamorphmagus if you would prefer.

Whew, okay, so...we're still waiting on @Boss Megu, @Lannister and @WitchcraftIsScience I believe? I'm going to start writing the IC, but I don't know if I should post it before you're all done or not. Because, let's be honest; you're not going to miss much if you come in late, the introductions always take an age and a half.

What do you lot think?

Thanks! I'll add it in a while. Looking forward to the IC~
 
My gosh, it's a good thing I double-checked everything...We still need one more regular.
 
Dear madam Wilborough!
I'm glad to contact you again, and miss you very much. The reason I am contacting you, is that I'm willing to join your association. The needed application is on the back of this message. I hope my level is enough to enter the team, and help fellow citizens of Britain.
Best Wishes, Oleg Poskovej.
Name:

Oleg Nikola Poskovej

Gender:
Male.

Age:
26 with half.

Regular or Newcomer?:
Newcomer.

Specialty:
Healing.

Appearance:
I am a man of average height, approximately 6'7. Not too fat, but still not so slim. My hair is grey colored, with a bit of silvery tips. Skin tone is white, with black freckles on cheeks, nose and shoulders. Blood group is B-, just incase. And I usually wear very colorful clothes, with occlumency rune-amulet - I am not experienced in mental magic.

Personality:
Well...
I can be explosive sometimes, but I am not an "entire flame" nor "emotionless block of ice". Yes, I sometimes want to be alone, but I usually find fun by talking to new people. Being healer means, that you need to memorize every single patient: his or her traits, backstory, fears. After a while, you start "attaching" to patients, thinking of them like good friends. I use same system when I meet new people. But, I can't easily "detach" from people. I am person of single choice - if I choose it, no one (expect leader, or big figure) can change my thoughts.

Biography:
Okay, let's start!
I was born on April 17th, in Serbia. I can't say that we lived poorly, but I also can't say that we lived like gods. Our residence located in small Serbian village. We had our own house, with several small wheat fields. My father worked as rune-reader for small Serbian company, which searched for ancient rune-stones in Serbia and other Balkan countries. And my mother worked as the only healer in a small village. She was the one who gave me the love to healing. All the colorful bottles with different potions, strange old-Slavic magic. It was incredible. We used some of our money to visit you, nearly every mouth when i was 1 to when I was 7.
In next few years, economical problems fell on our family. We had to sell our house, and move to Latvia, where I met most of my friends. Contact with you broken, and we stopped visiting you, because of low finances. At the age of 10 my mother started to briefly explain me magic. She thought of magic, not as an instrument, but as an life style. She thought of magic as a love, which you will carry to your death. That blazing love entered my heart, and will be there until my death.
When I finished domestic magical education (involving several small Latvian settlements), my parents sent me to a small medical magic center in our area. I was taken as a protege of one of the healers. Although I was far away from my native home, my friends sent me messages nearly every week. My teacher was always angry that there is an owl, flying near our window, nearly every Sunday or Saturday.
But... time passed, and nearly all my friends left Latvia to search for better life. I ended my education, and began my journey through small medical centers in Balkan countries. For you, it would be strange that I didn't visit big pathetic magical hospitals, but... I think that native medicine was, is and always will be the best solution. I don't decline muggle effect, but I don't say it's better either.
Then, I was assigned to Balkan Medical Conference (BMC), you may have heard of it. But then, I decided to go to England, and try out for St.Mungo's specialists. I studied additionally using various magical books, and began fully working in St.Mungo.
Then, I recalled you in my mind. Childhood memories awoken in me, and i wanted to search you. When I found information about you, I was surprised that you created a team, since I always thought you were person of calmness. Thinking a bit, i took several other magical books and studied hardly. After several mouths, I sent request to my old school, and to St.Mungo to provide my certificates. Then, I passed Hogwarts's exams, and requested Magical Ministry of Education to give me multi-certificate towards schools, hospitals and medical centers that I finished.
My old story ended here, and I stepped in the world of serious life. But could it be the start of a new story, even better than preceded one?

Skills:
Healing
This skill can be determined out of my specialization, but I decided to write it once more. Besides magical healing, I have knowledge over several muggle sciences which are related to healing - such as anatomy, physiology, etc.
Charms/Potions/Herbology - Related magical sciences
This skill is extremely important, because most of my healing potential goes from nearly full knowledge over these sciences. I usually use them in pairs, or one by one. But I mostly like to use them fully together: find needed for potion ingredients, including plants; make potion, and give it to patient; use charms to increase, or/and configure effect of potion; or use charms to give independent effect on healing.
Fighting (Magical and non-magical)
Although, healers are mostly used as important unit, which has one certain goal - heal everything or everyone you see. But I decided, that just standing in battle and healing people who sometimes fall down is idiotic. So I am not useless in battle, and can possibly fight.
On magical side, I know several battling spells, especially spells that damage group rather than one person.
On the muggle side, I am usually doing stealth combat, involving my small family dagger.
Rune-Reading/Creation (Special occasions)
Sometimes, a normal plague, under strong magical effect, can evolve into something, which magical and muggle medicine can't handle. That's where rune's are used. When normal magic can make everything even worse, rune's come in hand, because of their indirect magical effect.

Weaknesses:
Occlumency
As said earlier, I am unable to use mental techniques. So I usually wear amulet to protect my thoughts, or drink specialized potion, which I buy or make by myself.
Flying
Well. If you see me in the sky - run away as fast as you can. I feel myself uncomfortable and indecent on broom. So, I usually prefer running, or apparating.
Latin
Although, nearly all pharmacists know Latin as a talking language, I don't. It may be serious weakness, since I can't usually recognize Latin without a translator, and Latin is magical medicine language and muggle medicine language. But I'm working with several specialists, who are trying to create "upgraded polyglot spell". Right now, I don't know Latin.
Overworking
Well... Sometimes, I might work until I can't stand without shaking. And the worst thing is, I don't understand that I'm overworking at these moments. I understand that I overworked only at the end of work, and facepalm hardly.

Equipment:
Well, I have quite big list of equipment:
-Complex of selected potion's ingredients.
-Occlumentcy amulet
-Wand
-Muggle medicine (this includes pills, or various liquified medicines)
-Silver dagger
-Textbook (used for drawing healing magic formulas, and other fun stuff)
-Platinum cauldron, with specialized equipment for different types of ingredients.

Other:
Oh also Dorothy! I am, um. Don't know how to tell about it, but I'm bisexual with interest in males. I hope it won't be problematic for me working in the team. Also, is there an anti-apparation field around the house? Because, I don't want to get ripped in an attempt to apparate in center of your house.
And by established standards: House 5, OoC 2, Mission 9.
 
No, you're not late. Big improvement from the last one, I can see you took the criticism and worked with it, everything seems to check out (yes there is an anti apparition field, the house is heavily warded) so you're accepted!
 
@Jessikka
Oh, thanks. I had an idea of mixed Moody, Snape and Lupin (Plus some of Hermione and Ginny)
 
And then we go quiet. Not too sure what's holding people up but we need at least 1 more Regular before we can start! I plan to have the IC up by tomorrow evening at the latest, do throw your CS at me to be checked.
 
I'll update mine in a few minutes, I'm really sorry for making you wait. >.>;;
At first I was like..."Where's the CS" and then I was all "THERE'S THE CS". I found it. Don't worry. Slytherin Queen? I get the feeling she's a bit vain!
Age checks out, 26-10=16, You knew Dorothy. Personality...does not check out. How can you have a temper but also be patient? 'Tis one or the other, not both. And if you had to pick (which you do I'm afraid) I'd probably go for the temper, it's in Amarisse's genes. Might interfere with the teaching, perhaps she gets a bit snappy when particularly annoying questions are constantly asked, but I also get this...again, it's not really vanity but it's more posh-ness? A hoity-toity aspect which really she wouldn't admit to in her letter but it's there.
I get what you meant about the personality. I should really stop making CS in the middle of the night...morning, 3AM. I was going to mean that she has a temper but over the years, she managed to tune it down...ish? We can say it's her vanity because let's face it, Veela's are vain as hell and would match her cold exterior but inactuality, her persona is really hot. ;)
I judge your association with a Weasley but I reluctantly accept it based on the fact I know it's not going to interfere at all and it's just a name-drop. Skills check out, no problems there...
I had to mention Bill, because he married a veela! /shot\ And he's a Gryffindork. //shot-shot\\
Guess the animal? Uhh, snake. Bird! Uhm, uhm, Blast-ended Skrewt! am I getting anywhere?
The bird bit was close since it flies, but ...no dice. I'll give you a clue. It's a pretty bug. ^_^ b
Let's see, I'd put the spell reservoir as being "limited spells" and, truly, you HAVE to show that. I want to see you not knowing spells, or being unable to cast some.
It's not that she doesn't know the spells, she did study them. It's more of she can't ACHIEVE them. I'm putting it down as a weakness because she needs a lumos, she'd either go blind by how BRIGHT it is or it just fizzles like there's no power. I'm definitely going to put that in. :) I'd like every regular to panic when she attempts a household charm because she might just burn the curtains...again. XD

I'm thinking it's her family blood's fault; you know inbreeding or the dark magic corrupted their line, pick one. hahaha
Dorothy's going certainly going to knock this woman down a couple pegs, especially when it comes to her picky eating, believe you me she's going to get quite the culture shock.
Poor Ama, she's going to cringe. She hates "British" food. hahaha
I'd suggest getting rid of the Parseltongue OR theMetamorphmagus in Sylvester, and for Amarisse perhaps make her a traditional half-vela.
I'll clear this out in a bit in my CS and if you want, I'll just remove it altogether, but Ama's not parseltongue, just her brother, who's not even in the country. But if you'd prefer, I'll go remove it. It was a drop anyway. haha :O

EDIT: REMOVED THE BROTHER and his PARSELTONGUE. I added an unrequited love mention instead. haha because Veela. LOL
