Seven Hogwarts Hallows is an invision forum-based Harry Potter RPG set 2 years after the Epilogue in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the year 2019. It takes things beyond where the readers are left off, with new generations of Potters, Weasleys, Malfoys, Lupins, and other families that survived the Battle of Hogwarts. The main plot includes the another visit to the idea and existence of the Hallows, with surprising introductions to further twists and turns in this area, involving a new era of the Marauders, called the Marauders Revival, made up of James Potter II, Aidan Weasley, Liam Finnigan, Noah Longbottom, and a new DADA with questionable motives. A Triwizard Tournament year, who knows what tasks will be placed out before the contestants from Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.
Rivalries between the Malfoy and Potter/Weasley families remain strong, but thanks to the unlikely relationship between a Potter, a Weasley, and a Malfoy, the two families are forced to feign politeness despite their pasts together. The three Potter children, given the Invisibility Cloak, the Marauders Map, and a very special room help the events that unfold this year, which will see the accidental (or ‘on purpose’, depending how you look at it) creation of four extra Hallows thanks to the adventures of the Marauders Revival, who discover Death’s true identity within a historical tale linked inextricably to the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts itself. Throw in the Hand of Glory, a Bulgarian Slytherin who will do anything he can to get his hands on the Hallows, the entire terrifying Lazarov clan, turbulence in the Malfoy household that results in Draco nearly losing three children, a romance between a Metamorphmagus and a part-Veela, mayhem with the countless Weasley cousins at Hogwarts and a brilliant Professor with ulterior motives, and you have Seven Hogwarts Hallows - a suspenseful journey ahead.
The RPG forum is accessible only to our members, so as to prevent the theft of our posts, threads, plots, images and ideas. Once you’ve been accepted to the RPG, you will be given the URL of our forum and given specific instructions on how to sign up.Even IF you already know where our forum is located, please note that we will reject all user accounts that sign up, unless they have been accepted through our website here first. Non-members will be unable to view any of our forum boards and posts without an admin-activated account.
Due to the complexities of our plot and world, we require only DEDICATED roleplayers who are willing to put in the required time, effort and enthusiasm to make the RPG work. If you are going to sign up for characters, then abandon the site for weeks or months on end, please refrain from applying. You will simply be wasting your time and ours, and the Admins will be forced to either seize or delete your characters so as not to hold up plots.
The environment at SHH is laidback, friendly, close-knit and relaxed, so we would also prefer to have sociable and drama-free roleplayers who are willing to integrate themselves into the community and participate in chats and plotting sessions over IM programs (in particular AIM and occasionally, MSN). Shit-stirring, online fighting and hissy fits of any kind will not be tolerated as we would like the site to be a comfortable place for everyone to chill.
As far as writing requirements go, we are not strict about the length of posts (600 - 800 words per post is recommended, though we understand that it is sometimes necessary to post more or post less, depending on what the thread requires). However, the majority of RP-ers on the site are advanced and intermediate-advanced writers, therefore, we will expect a mature grasp of the English language, good spelling and decent punctuation. If you are a beginner with no experience, you may find it hard to work with the rest of our roleplayers. In general, we would prefer it if you’d hone your skills at beginner-level RPGs before applying to SHH, though our Newbie Admins are always happy to help and guide those of a beginner-intermediate and intermediate level. While we don’t wish to be snobby about who we admit to the RPG, please understand that it is difficult to work on threads when all the participants are contributing posts of vastly differing standards.
Having said that, at the end of the day, we are not looking for would-be Shakespeares who are going to take an entire week just to write one flowery, brilliant post. We are looking for writers who can churn out decent, interesting posts that will further our plots every day or so. If you are a writing genius but simply don’t have sufficient time (or are unable to write fast enough to make valid contributions), SHH may not be the RPG for you.
Lastly, before applying for your first character, please read the following thoroughly:
- RULES
- RPG Setting
- Plot
- Cast
- Characters
We advice reading through our character profiles (found on our forums) before completing the second step of your application, so as to avoid the creation of a new character that is too similar to one we already have. Also, we are not kidding when we tell you that you MUST read the rules! It will be very apparent that you failed to do so if you try to apply without having read them first.
Thanks so much for visiting SHH.
If you have further questions, feel free to contact the Admins!
