Welcome to swish &flick, a Harry Potter based semi-au roleplay. We are glad you have choosen to give us a look and we hope to welcome you soon within our roleplay. Feeling confused or overwhelmed? This guide/rules should help to answer your questions. If not, feel free to contact an admin. The most important steps are : 1. Read the Rules!!!! 2. Reserve your character

#1 In a nutshell the rules say to be nice, no face-/ username chasing, respect everyone, no ooc drama and try to be as active as possible.

#2 favorite the roleplay and comment your desired characters name like this: John Smith. It would be helpful if you were to check both the Wish- and Masterlist beforehand as to see which character might be needed or is already taken.

#3 There is no limit as to how many characters a person may have. However a person must have at least 100 points before creating yet another character.

#4 our golden rule for roleplaying is: treat others how you would like to be treaded. Manners cost nothing. Sometimes it's hard to see scarcasm when it's typed so please thing beforehand before you post anything and think of other peoples feelings.

#5 be respectful to everyone and try to avoid occ drama. Characters may be racist, ist or homophobic, but we do not allow that in ooc. Therefore please also note that senstive topics such as religion and politics should be avoided. After all we want everyone to feel save and welcomed. If you feel you have been misstreaded by others please contact the admins. We are here to resolve issues and protect members and no one should ever feel unwelcomed or trageted.

#6 after you have been accepted to the roleplay you have seven days to put up a DP, get started/enrolled in Hogwarts (if you are a student) or get a job (if you are an adult) and put up a profile. If you are a child you just have to set up a dp and profile. Also please note our 1:3 ratio concering abilities or purebloods. Meaning for one character you give an ability or make a pureblood you have to crate three without an ability or being a pureblood if you want another.

#7 when it comes to posting you are free to use whatever pov you prefer. But please make sure that when posting in rooms beside the chats to write at least two to three sentences.

#8 Timeframe is posted beneath the name of the roleplay. Please pay attention to it and have your characters and plot move along with it in an appropriate manner.

#9 no god-moding. You can't control any character but your own. Characters are not all powerful and must behave within reason. Always ask permission and set up clear boundaries.

#10 Everyone should be able to post at least twice a month within one of the rooms unless they've stated that they are taking an hiatus. On that note a semi-hiatus can last up to 4 weeks a full hiatus up to 8 weeks.

#11 : Since most of us are young adults happens. And while is a lot of fun and a part of life we do not allow it to happen between underage characters as well as not rated rooms.

#12 Babies/Children: If your upcoming plot involves your character having, adopting, or otherwise obtaining a child and is an ADULT then you are free to do so. If your character is still school aged you need the permission of the admins.

#13 INFO FOR STUDENTS: The Hogwarts school rules may found here. ual misconduct is strictly forbidden on Hogwarts grounds and will result in serve punishment. Magic practicen within the walls of Hogwarts should excerise good judgment. Any distruptive behaviour will be punished. Also please note that not all students are like Hermione Granger and therefore do not know all that many spellsoutside of their years/previous experience. Each House has a Quidditch Team and we hold regular Qudditch game for our students.

#14 INFO FOR ADULTS: Abilities may only be used if you are playing a canon chara who is known for said abilities or they have been accepted and signed up within the Minsitry. Also stay realistic with behaviours and portrayels.The Job List can help choose a profeesion and understand what is required for said profession. Professional Quidditch is detailed here.

#15 the password is Avis

#1 Can I be the relative of a canon Character?

Generally speaking, no. The expection to this rule is if one of the people roleplaying are looking for someone with a relation to them. For example The Longbottoms didn't end up in St. Mungos and now Neville has a little brother. Then you would be free to take up the role of the second Longbottom child.

#2 Playing a student.

Making a student character can be very rewarding. You get to Hogwarts and see your character grow with each year, make friends and enemies, make it's way through the world of Harry Potter and go from a shy little first year to a mature adult.

#3 Do I have to start as a first year?
Absolutley not! You can make your character enter any desired year and age as long as tehre is enough space of course.

#4 Can I choose my own House?

Yes. There is always the chance to choose your own house as long as there is enough space and you are not playing a canon character. Though we have our own sorting hat that would be more then happy to sort you into one of the four houses.

#5 Can I be a transfer student?

Yes. Your student can transfer from any of the known magical schools around the world, given that you can provide a logical reason as to why he or she is transfering to Hogwarts. Otherwise your character has to be a UK resident to attend Hogwarts since the school is in the UK.

#6 Can I be an Animagus/Legilimens/Parselmouth, etc?

To keep things balanced and realistic as possible, we do have a few restrictions on the amounts and abilities a student can have.

You CANNOT claim the titles Animagus/Legilimens/Occlumens/Dark Witch or Wizard with ANY character below the age of 18, regardless of your furture intentions.

You character also can't have more then two abilities and they have to be registered within the Ministry.

#7 Do I actually have to attend classesor take exams?
No, you do not have to attend classes or take exams. But they are a lot of fun and a way to earn extra points for your house. The lessons are posted between the first and tenth of every month and therefore give you a minimum of two weeks to complete the homework. The lessons simply require you t read through them and them PM the homework to the teacher. Of course you can graduate without taking lessons or exams.

End of year exams as well as OWLS or NEWTS are held ever 4 months and are worth up to 100 points.

#8 Can I be a Prefect?
Prefect positions are aviable for those that have made over 500 posts and are active! Positions will be revoked if you are absent for more then 14 days without any explenation. You might also wanto consider if your character has Leadership qualities, has the strenght to withstand ridicule, has time to attend meetings and enforce rules. If youhave all that and are prepared to take on the position then contact one of the admins.

Prefect as well as Head boy-/girl will be decided via Vote.

#09 Playing an Adult

Of course the fun doesn't just happen in Hogwarts, nor does it stop as soon as you graduate. Playing an adult opens you a whole new world of possebilities. You can start working at st.Mungos, or the Ministry. Join the Order of Phoenix, get married, have children, travel the world etc. And don't forget all the wizarding shops you can visit.
