Welcome to TB, an all levels Harry Potter roleplay with no word count. Our purpose is to go through the books with one exception: the addition of original characters and what changes that makes.
We accept all beings and creatures in the Harry Potter verse including ghosts, veela, muggles and even centaur.
We have many active events ongoing for both students and adults and many characters and locations around the world.
Come join us and discover how your character can grow and evolve in the world of Harry Potter.
I'd like to make hogwarts student, but I'm honestly not sure how to figure out their birthday with the current timeline. Is their year of birth required? Can someone help me figure out what year I would need to put for each age?
Things in the second section are still to be filled out IC, right? I'm assuming so, and it makes sense to, but I'd hate to assume incorrectly.
Memories. We can't include people dying, but I haven't seen anything about any other traumas not being or being allowed. What are the rules with that? I'm a little wary not knowing what kind of triggering content I could find and not knowing what I could put down for my character either. I don't consider mine to be self inserts, but like everyone I do give them bits of myself, and I'd want to know if I could share any memories with them or not.

Year isn't required but if you let us know what year (aka first year, second year, etc.) you intend them to be, and the month and day birthday, we'll tell you if the age is off by a year.
Everything is in character except the alias/Canon?/other characters part in the end.
It's not the fact it's triggering. Its just that in the past, a lot of people would do that for their memory but not actually have it affect their character at all which was kind of sue-like.
I hope that answered everything. I'm posting from my phone lol but welcome and i can't wait to see your app. (:
I think it did, for the most part! I actually- oops- had two more questions though? I think I had three but already forgot one. I'll be back if I remember it.
Would, uh, abusive or neglectful backstories be acceptable or are they a no-no because of the potential to become a mary sue or be triggering to members?
Also, could half-bloods or muggleborns have special abilities (i.e. metamorphmagus, seer, etc)? I've checked to see what's available already, but I wanted to double check if that was allowed or not. Sorry if it's been answered somewhere already and I missed it!
(I'm so so sorry for double posting!) It's been like.. Ages since I've used proboards though, uh when registering, is the forum username supposed to be our characters name or our alias? I feel like such an idiot for asking

You just have to keep it PG-13. So those sorts of backstories are possible as long as you don't get into too much detail that would make it more than PG-13.
Halfbloods can be any magic ability. Metamorphmagi are genetic though so I think muggleborns could be anything except that. Nor veela too.
Your username can be anything. I usually do character's first name. Then you change the display name after.
