House of Gaunt (Inactive RPs)This is the forum where all of the unfortunate roleplays go when they become inactive in Borgins or The Manor. You may reactivate an RP if you PM one of our staff. No posting.
It has been centuries and centuries since the time of Harry Potter, and longer still since Hogwarts has ever been the same as it used to be, and now it's completely deserted. In fact, it has been so long, that little people actually know about the old, and now abandoned school. It's just something in the faraway past that not many people think about anymore. But just because Hogwarts is lost in history, doesn't mean that the castle itself has been lost. There isn't any humans there anymore, nor has there been any for a long time, and though it still stands, it shows.
But, asides from being completely ancient to anyone these days, and not kept after, the corridors musty, the walls dirty, cobwebs, and other animals inhabiting the castle, it's not exactly deteriorating. How could it? A magical place like Hogwarts just couldn't cease to exist, and it almost seems as if it may never disappear, even if it isn't known about.
Until a group of witches and wizards, who are traveling together accidentally stumble upon this magical place. And Hogwarts is like, well something they've never seen before. The ancientness of the outside alone is intriguing, leading them to explore further. The more they look, the more they're amazed by what they find, animals roaming around, and even some ghosts that they can't even imagine how old they'd be. It seems a miracle to some, an adventure to others, and creepy to the rest.
But was there a cause to why Hogwarts is so abandoned? Did something happen there, something that made everyone but the ghosts flee? Or did people just stop coming to Hogwarts, and it eventually died out? Either way, there's something different about this castle, and everyone knows it. Is there something that the ghosts know? Are there uncovered secrets left behind?
As the friends carry on searching, they find out about Hogsmeade, too, and it's completely deserted. No one there, and it really couldn't be more empty. The shops bare, and like Hogwarts, not ruined, even without care, just old, and needing to be cleaned. Is there something going on here? Will they find out what it is? Is it dangerous? There's really only one way to find out.

So, here are my Profiles. I'll do the ghosts' bio when I find a picture.
SPOILER!!: Profiles
Name: Camilla Acosto Nickname: Cam Date of Birth: January 1 Age: 24
Appearance
Her appearance isn't something Camilla thinks about all that often. She's rather pretty, but it's in a casual sort of way. She'll generally where t-shirts or singlets and jeans. Nothing very fancy, and the color pink is just a bit too much for her. It'd be an uncommon thin for her to be wearing dresses and skirts, as well. And getting muddy tends not to phase her, as it's something that happens quite frequently.
Eye Colour: Soft Blue Hair: Blonde Height: 5’7”
Personality:
Camilla has a do-now-think-later kind of attitude. Most of the time she doesn’t even purposely cause trouble, she just doesn’t think of the consequences. She often does things that she wishes she didn’t, because she just does it, or says something without a second thought. But she’s not entirely clueless; she’s a rather observant of other people, and she doesn’t easily see the risks in situations. Cam doesn’t exactly cringe away from girly things, but she’s not very girly. She can be, sometimes, but she’d usually prefer playing sports to painting her nails. She is really competitive, and confident. She’d make a bet out of anything, and loves sports, because she’s really determined to win things. Cam can even be kind of arrogant at times, and can sometimes act more like a boy than a girl. She also loves drawing and reading and she always has a sketchpad or a book on her. Camilla easily gets in trouble, generally with things to do with her brother. Miles likes making trouble, and she just likes adventure and doesn't see the consequences, and she'll do nearly anything because of that without being worried. She'll also do basically anything if dared to or in a bet.
Family
Camilla grew up with her two parents, Alice and Matthew in Essex, along with her two younger brothers Jesse and Miles. She has always been really close to her brothers, and it's mainly due to the fact that they didn't treat her differently, even with being their one and only sister. Cam, being rather boyish, has always loved being with her two brothers, playing sports, and anything of the sort. Also, being the eldest, she always has a way to get her brothers to listen to her, and she is caring, but she's not the most responsible one, by a long shot.
Mother: Alice Father: Matthew Brothers: Jesse (22), Miles (23)
Name: Lyssa Madison Frost Nicknames: Lyss, Lyssie, Lys, Ly Date of Birth: January 1 Age: 24 Blood: Pure
Appearance
Not only does Lyssa act very different from her sister Lyra, but she also looks rather different, only sharing the same blue eyes, which seems to run in the family. Though, over all, in looks, and personality, Lyss is a lot more similar to her older brother, Mason.
Eye Color: Crystal Blue Hair: Blonde Height: 5’6”
Personality
Lyssa has a very fiery personality, and a sharp tongue. She’ll always say what’s on her mind, no matter how harsh or blunt it is. Mostly without realizing it, but occasionally on purpose. She’s the on who’ll talk back to teachers, and not really care how much points she loses, detentions she gets, or times she gets yelled at, the message never sinks in, and Lyssie still doesn’t just keep her mouth shut. Not to mention all the havoc and mayhem that she causes on a daily basis. But whenever she’s told off, or listening to something she doesn’t want to hear, it simply goes through one ear and out the other. She’s probably quite a hard person to be around if you’re trying to get her to behave, but if not, then she’s really fun to be with. She’s really friendly to people who are close to her, and that don’t annoy her. And always extremely adventurous. Though she can get annoyed and impatient rather easily. Lyssa is also really generous, if she wants to be, and up for anything. There really isn’t much she won’t do, and doesn’t have much of a conscience. She cares about people, she just wouldn’t mind making people feel guilty, or even persuading someone to do something they don't want to do.
Family
Lyssa’s family is rather rich, both of her parents having rather well paid jobs, her mother a journalist, working at home, and her father working with Magic and non-magical animals for a living. Her father earns so much because of having to work with dangerous animals, and he gets injuries to prove it often, but he’s not a snob about the money. Neither is her mum. Though her mum is probably where she got some of her fiery attitude, the woman having quite a bit of a temper sometimes, too. Though her mum is kind, and caring, Lyss is always given dozens of lectures and howlers from her, in an attempt to keep Lyssa in order. Though it never works. But her father finds her troublesome antics pretty amusing. And though her brother Mason has always been really protective over her and her sister, for Lyssa, there was really no need. Messing with Lyssa would never be a very wise thing to do.
Mother: Vanessa Father: Jeremy Brother: Mason (25) Sister: Lyra (24)
Background
It’s hard to tell what got Lyss to be so mischievous, rebellious and blunt, like she is, but she’s been like that since she started Hogwarts. And even though she’s impatient and at times, mean, that isn’t to say that she has few friends. Because, in her time at Howarts, she has made plenty of friends. Lyssa’s kind, likable side comes out just as easily and often as the blunt, harsh part of her, though. But she’s never been as close to anyone as she is with her twin, Lyra. Sometimes referred to as her “Partner in Crime,” But this is only partly true. Lyra seems to end up in trouble just as much as Lyssa, because she just goes along with her, and gives in much too easily. But Lyssa is also rather persuading, and Lyra looks up to her, even though Lyssa is barely any older. Lyssa rather likes it, though, but as well as her sister looking up to her, Lyssa is very protective of Lyra. Lyssa met Camilla Acosto at a very young age, and has been her best friend ever since. They pretty similar, too, Lyssa making Cam even more troublesome than she already was.
Name: Raven Rivera House: Gryffindor Date of Birth: August 16 Age: 17 Year: 7 Blood: Muggle-born Cause of death: Werewolf attack
Appearance
Before dying, Raven was very gorgeous, and still is, even as a ghost, though he looks far from modern. He’s far from being the oldeest of the ghosts, though you could tell, by how his clothes aren’t very modern, and the way he talks, that he has been around for a while. He has dark brown hair, and his skin is now even more pale and ghostly then it was before, though when he wasn’t a ghost, Raven, in fact, had a very light complexion.
Personality
Raven is, overall, rather friendly as a ghost. He’s friendly, and would be happy to talk to you, or point you in the right direction, he just wouldn’t be the best to o to for that kind of thing. He’s insightful, he sees things about people that most others don’t, but he’s still very troublesome. Age may have made him smarter, somewhat, but it didn’t by any means wear off his immaturity. He has a very good nature, but being a poltergeist (ghost that can touch or move things), he can’t help but to casu a bit of mischief. Like sending people in wrong directions, or moving things to confuse you. Raven can be helpful, you just have to know whether he’s telling you the truth or not.
Family & Background
Raven’s family, when they were alive, at least, were very wealthy people. They gave him money, and whatever he wanted, and really spoiled him, as they did with his two other siblings. He was, indeed, used to having a lot, but he was still a friendly character to most people. Though after being at Hogwarts for a while, he found at how tricking people, and causing trouble were really fun. He got in trouble more and more, but he never listened. And his parents, always the ones to let him to what he wanted, let him cause havoc, and that was that. And warnings just went out one ear and in the other. Though this hardly changed what he was like as a person incredibly. He was always rather teasing and playful, and if he wasn’t about to try and trick you, then he was a lot of fun to be around. Raven is much the same, now as a ghost, and he doubts that part will ever fade from him. He was also very adventurous, and reckless, which is, ultimately, how he died. No one would go in the forbidden forest, and Raven thought they were all chickens. Proving his point, he went into the forest, but, eventfully, encountered a werewolf. Though werewolves would usually not kill you, he lay there in the woods after being attacked, and he was there for a very long time. Through loss of blood, he couldn’t move, and go back to school, and didn’t survive.

DOB October 18th , originally due November 3rd. PARENTS cherie vanessa tamworth (nee connors) and matthew jack tamworth SIBLINGS vanessa mirabelle tamworth 2 + sally-anne tamworth 22 PERSONALITY jack is a smart boy, underneath the extreme childish exterior. He doesnt use his brain to good uses , like in lessons, he uses it to help his vivid imagination run wild into his written works. yes, jack tamworth writes. nothing big. just small little stories that his kid sister reads while he is at Hogwarts. Because hes ultra chldish Jack lacks true friends because he takes things to heart very easily and is an ultra emotional person. Despite that the couple of friends he has are the ones he does treasure. So hes childish. So hes a sappy softie that cries easily. So hes a loner. He thinks hes awesome and he knows he has an awesome life. He is still that softie he was when he was younger. HISTORY: Jack Thomas Tamworth was born in Basildon Hospital , Basildon on October 18th 12:03 am. He was born a couple of weeks early and surprised his mother and father when he decided to come out early when they were at Cheries sisters wedding. The family spent 2 weeks living in the hospital with the older daughter Sally-Anne because Jack had alot of problems with his breathing and his heart. But after two weeks of being nursed and operations he was well enough to go home to the new house in the countryside bordering between London and Essex. The countryside manor gave Jack plenty of room to run around and roll down hills and annoy his sister with his pet worms Norris (2weeks) , Dorris(3 hours), Borris(4 days) and Norman (10 minutes) and the number 2's and 3's of them.
Jack and Sally-Anne never got along and more than likely never will. They bickered and fought over the slightest thing.
Jack became a childrens book writer , accompanied by his little sister.

Name: Tamathee Jacobson Nickname(s): Tammy Age: 21 DOB: February 13, 2052 POB: Birmingham, England Lives: Nottingham, England
[b]Linage: Half-and-half. (her mom’s a muggle) Appearance: Eyes- Brown Hair- Blonde, longish, wavy Build- slender Other- she's 5 feet, four inches tall *short* and she weighs 112 pounds. History/Family/Personality:
Tammy grew up being treated like a princess. She was the only girl out of four children, and she was the youngest. But because she was surrounded by boys, she became a tom-boy. Most of her friends at Hogwarts were boys, too. She liked being around them more than being around girls because she thought that girls were too much drama.
All of her family, including her dad were in Slytherin. She was the first in her family to be a Ravenclaw, and for that she was glad. She wanted to get away from the expectations her brothers had left her at Hogwarts. And, thankfully, she did. No one ever mentioned her brothers around her if they didn’t want to be hexed.
She’s very brainy, and she never lets an opportunity to act like a know-it-all go by, although she doesn’t see herself as a know-it-all, just a very educated, smart person. She’s hardly shy, and loves to make new friends. She talks a lot, so start a conversation at your own risk.
Interests: She loves animals, and she’s thinking about applying Magical Creatures department at the Ministry. She loves quidditch, too. Her favorite team is the Holyhead Harpies. She played Keeper in her fifth year at Hogwarts, and Chaser in her sixth and seventh years.
She spends most of her free time outdoors. She likes to go hiking, swimming, horse riding, and anything else that means she’s outside, under the sun and surrounded by nature.

Reason: changing the age :)
Name: Edward Blake
Age: 24
Blood: Half-Blood
Personality: Edward is a huge flirt, but he loves hanging with the guys. He's polite, and care-free - an all-around good guy. He does joke around and is very sarcastic at times, but it's limited. He doesn't like Slytherins - he think they're all pureblood maniacs and avoids them when he can.
Name: Giselle Malfoy
Age (upon death): 27
Time as a Ghost: 388 years
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Personality: Giselle mainly keeps to herself - she likes her privacy. She was always the outcast of her family, being in Gryffindor, though they loved her regardless. She's very mysterious, but not at all shy once she gets to liking somebody.

SPOILER!!: Profiles
Name: Ian Yorks Nicknames: None Age: 25 DOB: May 15th Blood: Half-Blood Height: 6'4" Build: Very athletic Hair: Black and curly Eyes: Light Brown
Picture:
Personality:
Ian is very much a jock, always was. He's friendly, but very determined and generally not as clever as some of his brothers. He's been described as the sweetest one of his brothers, not always outgoing, but when you do get him talking he's always polite and genuine. He's loyal to those he cares about, and has a passion for every sport he plays. He plays quidditch when he can, but also plays many muggle sports due to his half-blood heritage and he and his brothers needing something more to do than just quidditch.
Family: Father - Evan Yorks Mother - Courtney Yorks Younger Brother - Adrien Yorks (23) Younger Brother - Fisher Yorks (22) Younger Brother - Cal Yorks (20) Younger Brother - Penn Yorks (17)
Family Life:
Ian is the oldest brother of the Yorks family, and he has always taken on that role with grace. He's taught each and every one of his brothers everything he knows, and protects them when necessary. He's given them advice since they were all children, and they all still look to him as a leader and caring role model. His home is warm, and small for the number of occupants, but crazy. As close as he and his brothers are, they all get into fights that occur every day, but are usually forgotten by the next. Each of the brothers are unique and crazy in their own way, but when they get together, it's insane.
Extra:
Ian's favorite thing is any sport he can be a part of. He hates really artificial junk foods, and tends to lean towards the more healthy of snacks. His favorite food is apples and has an owl named Tiger.
Usually Spotted:
Playing some various sport.
----------------------------------------------------------
Name: Fisher Yorks Age: 22 DOB: October 11 Blood: Half-Blood Height: 6'2" Build: Fairly skinny, a little shorter than his oldest brother Hair: Black, curly Eyes: Dark Brown
Picture:
Personality:
Fisher is the more serious of all of his crazy brothers. He can be light and fun, but he has a better grasp on reality and is always the one to bring them back to earth when necessary. He's the artist also, he's always painting when he can be. He's more quiet than most of his brothers, but once you get to know him, he becomes a little bit more animated and of course, sarcastic. He's very intelligent but has a wit to go along with it.
Family: Father - Evan Yorks Mother - Courtney Yorks Older Brother - Ian Yorks (25) Older Brother - Adrien Yorks (23) Younger Brother - Cal Yorks (20) Younger Brother - Penn Yorks (17)
Family Life:
Fisher is the middle child of the Yorks family and is probably the evil genius of it too. He's generally the quiet one when he's out around new people, but when he's with his brothers he grows animated and crazy like the rest. The house is always crazy, each of the brothers having their own distinct personalities, and when they get together, it's insane.
Extra:
Fisher is a fairly professional painter, and does unique paintings for private collections. He likes nearly every type of food and enjoys trying new things. He has no pets, but borrows his brothers' owls whenever he needs to send a letter.
Usually Spotted:
Painting something new or hanging around with his many brothers.

Ummm...
-Feels super embarrassed for being the only one without her bios up yet-
They're ready now, though! I think I'm going to give Italy a rest and invade Greece instead.
Photos!: Niko & Abby
Name: Nikolai Katsaros Picture:
Goes by: Nick, Niko Birthday: August 12th Age: 22 Height: 6'2" Blood: Pureblood Background: Greek
House: N/A Year: N/A
Personality: Nikolai is a goofball. He rarely has a serious look on his face and he enjoys playing immature jokes or pranks on others. His maturity level is that of an eleven-year-old's as is his energy level. He can sometimes go on without sleep for days; but when the drowsiness catches up with him, he'll be in bed completely knocked out for endless hours. Niko's very positive and tends to look at the bright side of things, no matter what the situation may be... like being tied up and fed to giant spiders; he'll find a positive to that. As a student, Nikolai had always been very dedicated to his studies and paid great attention in lessons, always getting his homework done on time and receiving high scores on tests. Just because he is a goofball, rather ungraceful, and somewhat dorky doesn't mean the boy's dumb or likes to play stupid. School had always been very important to him and his grades were a priority. But even though Niko may come off as a head-in-the-clouds type of guy to those who don't know him, the young man has a very good ear and is willing to listen to anything and everything anyone has to say. He takes others' opinions into consideration and enjoys conversations that go beyond "hey, how are you? Good, bye".
Family: Niko's the second oldest in the Katsaros family. He has an older brother, Alexander, who's ahead of him by two years and is currently engaged to the girl who had been his girlfriend the past six years. Niko's closest to him of all his siblings, since they are both the oldest males and got to spend a number of years together in school. Aside from Alexander, Niko has five other siblings: Aikaterine (20), Theodora (19), Chryssa (15), Stephanos (12), and Demetrios (6). Aikaterine, Alexander, and Nikolai are the only siblings that have moved out and live on their own.
Other: Nikolai was born and raised in the large city of Piraeus, in central Greece and very near Athens. For all the young man knows, his family has been part of this large city since... the beginnings of time. He tried doing some research on his family's history for an assignment during his seventh year in school, and it seemed his generation was the first generation of the family to move out of the country. Nikolai is a huge fanatic of swimming sports and doesn't understand Quidditch, never has. He loves flying but hates playing the sport since he doesn't understand its complex rules and order. But get him in the water, and he'll turn into a fish.

House: N/A Year: N/A
Personality: Abigail is rather awkward and has an extremely creative imagination, like a five year old. Throughout her years in school, Abby had always been one to keep mostly to herself. Not necessarily because she didn't try making friends, but the girl was just too strange and awkward for her classmates who either feared her or felt pity on her. So, after so many years of being avoided, Abby has unfortunately not developed the skills necessary to walk up to people and engage in charismatic conversation. Instead, the young girl keeps to herself and spends her time transferring her imaginings on to paper in a sketchbook she usually carries around. Abby is shy and weary of being near people or having someone come up to her; since she doesn't know how to act or the right things to say, she has come to fear interaction with others and can be ridiculously shy. But as awkward, strange, and shy as the girl may be, she has the qualities of a great friend. Problem is, she hasn't found that one friend to show these qualities to yet. She's a great listener and when she likes someone enough, she'll easily put them above herself - always doing what will benefit that person rather than what would benefit her. When she feels comfortable enough to talk and share opinions, Abby can be much more logical than people give her credit for.
Family: Abigail has a fraternal twin brother (Adam) who is the complete opposite of her - charming, charismatic, snobby, and sometimes incredibly mean. She never had a close relationship with him and barely keeps in touch with the guy unless it's completely necessary because their parents have been nagging them to do things together. Adam moved out of the house the second he finished school and holds a steady successful job. Abigail just recently moved out of her parents' home about a month ago but hates it. The large apartment makes her feel even lonelier than usual.
Other: Abby was born and raised in London her whole life and has never ever left the city before, not to mention the entire country. She dreams of visiting the rest of Europe - France, Italy, Germany, Greece, etc. - one day, but has not yet set herself on that journey for she doesn't want to do it alone. Abigail met Nikolai at a cafe only two days after she had moved into her new apartment. Nikolai, being one too cheerful for his own good and very attentive, listened to the young girl's creative imaginings with patience and friendliness, quickly earning himself a spot on Abby's empty list of friends.
I hope that's okay & I shall add in my ghost's profile when it is ready.

Name: Emalee Stone Picture:
Goes by: Em, Lee Birthday: November 3rd Day of death: January 1st, 2130 Cause of death: Accidentally attacked by a centaur during New Year's Eve. Age: 14 Height: 5'2" Blood: Pureblood Background: English
House: Slytherin Year: 4th
Personality: Having died at an early age, Emalee didn't have the time to mature enough to grow out of her mean, snobby ways. Even if she has been dead for centuries now, her mind remains fourteen years old. Emalee enjoys causing trouble and scaring the first years, threatening to sneak into their dormitories in the middle of the night and drag them down to hell by the feet while they sleep. She loves when students approach her asking her for questions or directions so she can lead them the wrong way or give them the wrong answer. Emalee's favorite other ghost - beside herself - is Peeves, and she often plays the role of accomplice in his pranks. But the first years are definitely Emalee's favorite victims, since they're the most innocent and naive ones.
Family: Emalee was an only child to a couple that was considerably older than most parents of kids her age. Her mother was very caring and enjoyed spoiling her young and only daughter, but the woman also had a bad habit of judging others for superficial things like money and blood status that unfortunately transferred on to Emalee, turning her into the snobby young lady she grew up to be. Emalee's father was rarely around, but when he was he took the young girl on shopping sprees to fill all of her heart's desires. Even when she misbehaved, her parents' way of disciplining the young girl was by buying her things and telling her she could have more if she behaved well. That obviously never worked.
Other: Emalee's favorite place to haunt is down by the dungeons in her old common room - the Slytherin common room. She also enjoys haunting the grounds and some of the towers.

They're ready now, though! I think I'm going to give Italy a rest and invade Greece instead.
Photos!: Niko & Abby
Name: Nikolai Katsaros Picture:
Goes by: Nick, Niko Birthday: August 12th Age: 22 Height: 6'2" Blood: Pureblood Background: Greek
House: N/A Year: N/A
Personality: Nikolai is a goofball. He rarely has a serious look on his face and he enjoys playing immature jokes or pranks on others. His maturity level is that of an eleven-year-old's as is his energy level. He can sometimes go on without sleep for days; but when the drowsiness catches up with him, he'll be in bed completely knocked out for endless hours. Niko's very positive and tends to look at the bright side of things, no matter what the situation may be... like being tied up and fed to giant spiders; he'll find a positive to that. As a student, Nikolai had always been very dedicated to his studies and paid great attention in lessons, always getting his homework done on time and receiving high scores on tests. Just because he is a goofball, rather ungraceful, and somewhat dorky doesn't mean the boy's dumb or likes to play stupid. School had always been very important to him and his grades were a priority. But even though Niko may come off as a head-in-the-clouds type of guy to those who don't know him, the young man has a very good ear and is willing to listen to anything and everything anyone has to say. He takes others' opinions into consideration and enjoys conversations that go beyond "hey, how are you? Good, bye".
Family: Niko's the second oldest in the Katsaros family. He has an older brother, Alexander, who's ahead of him by two years and is currently engaged to the girl who had been his girlfriend the past six years. Niko's closest to him of all his siblings, since they are both the oldest males and got to spend a number of years together in school. Aside from Alexander, Niko has five other siblings: Aikaterine (20), Theodora (19), Chryssa (15), Stephanos (12), and Demetrios (6). Aikaterine, Alexander, and Nikolai are the only siblings that have moved out and live on their own.
Other: Nikolai was born and raised in the large city of Piraeus, in central Greece and very near Athens. For all the young man knows, his family has been part of this large city since... the beginnings of time. He tried doing some research on his family's history for an assignment during his seventh year in school, and it seemed his generation was the first generation of the family to move out of the country. Nikolai is a huge fanatic of swimming sports and doesn't understand Quidditch, never has. He loves flying but hates playing the sport since he doesn't understand its complex rules and order. But get him in the water, and he'll turn into a fish.
