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.
All right, so basically I just came up with another plot and yeah. xD. Here it is!
The Land of the Dead
Seda is a place where the trees are bleached white; the sky lacks a sun or clouds. It is a strange world that is inhabited by even stranger residents. Everyone living here is a spirit; a spirit that once lived on earth but has since died. It is not Hell but it is not Heaven either. Some claim, that this world is in fact limbo. But, whatever this world actually is, is not important. Its residents live all eternity there. Never physically ageing but merely carrying out their daily lives as they did when they were alive. This is the world of the dead.
In Seda, there is a silver stream. It is through this stream where those who have just died come through. Some come in not knowing they have died. Others remember their deaths vividly. Those that do not remember can sometimes see flashes of their life and death when gazing into the stream. Many choose not to remember; they know nothing good can come of finding out. A select few will come by the stream, hoping to figure out what happened.
But what happens when the living somehow find their way into this world of the dead?
The Plot
At Hogwarts, things are normal as usual. Some students are studying and others are relaxed. Whatever they are doing, there is a select group of friends who have time on their hands and decide to do a little experiment. They know that ghosts are the imprints of souls that chose to stay behind on earth. But what about those who pass on? What happens to them? Well, these students are determined to find out and so they hold a séance to try and contact the dead.
One evening, late at night, they sneak out of the castle after curfew and head to the grounds and settle themselves by the lake. They begin but something happens. Something none of them remembers because one moment they’re on the shore of the lake and next they’re swimming through the silver stream. They climb out to find they are no longer at Hogwarts but in this odd looking . . . city? They don’t know, but they intend to find out!
So, what happens when they end up in the world of the dead? Will they be able to get out? The residents claim they have died, but the students know that is not so. They have to get out of this world before something bad happens. But while they’re there, they get to know the residents. They discover that although they can still perform magic, they cannot apparate from while in this place. They make friends with the dead and learn so much from them. Perhaps some of them get too close. The dead and the living cannot be together. It’s against nature. But then again, so is this place.
What’ll happen while they’re here? Will they figure a way out or did something happen that they don’t remember? It’s up to us to find out!
NOTE: The ideas of Seda and that world were that of a friend. I have permission to use these ideas. Though, the plot as a whole was entirely mine.
So, that’s the plot! Basically we’ll need both Hogwarts’ students and the dead that live in Seda! I hope the above explained everything well enough. If you need clarification on anything, just ask! =) You can join has either or, but I would suggest if you play one of the dead, that you play a wizard/witch character as well since we won’t be using the dead characters immediately.
So, if you’re playing a dead character, here’s a skeleton so you know what to include. Your dead can be from anywhere and from any time period! They live in Seda for all of eternity. The current time will be that of present year: 2009. I’ll be playing one of the dead, so when I post my bio, you can use that as a reference to what you should include!
Name:
Year of death:
Looks:
Personality:
History: (How they died? Do they remember their death? Family history? Any other details.)
All right, time for rules!
1. No one-liners, please. Make your posts at least three lines long unless you really can’t think of anything to type then two lines will be fine.
2. Please use proper grammar and punctuation and quotation marks. You know, so we know what your character is doing and saying. It can get confusing.
3. STAY ACTIVE! It could be awesome, but if people drop out then things dwindle and die. If you join, keep up. If you lose track, PM someone or myself. I promise, we’re all nice. =)
4. If you want to drop out, lemme know! I will cross you off the list!
5. All other SS rules apply!
6. Have fun! =D!
So join!

Ooh! Rosie! I love this new plot of yours! It reminds me a lot of a manga I read. I love the idea. Can I join as both witch/wizard and one of a dead? -giggle, snort-
Name: Elena James Date of Birth: 1893 Year of death: 1912 Age at death: 19
Looks: Personality: Elena is very old fashioned. She has been brought up with manners and is a perfect lady. Well most of the time. Even when she was alive she had a certain appearence, but there was always a different personality waiting to come through. In the era and class that she was brought up in you had to have a certain image but that was not who she was. Elena always has an opinion and is rather straight forward and honest. Some people call her blunt but she is just going to tell you like it is. You can definately see the time period in which she grew up shining through.
History: (How they died? Do they remember their death? Family history? Any other details.): Elena grew up in a very prestigious family. They were first class citizens and always had the best of everything. That also meant that she had to have the prefect image. Elena was an only child. In April of 1912 her family boarded the R.M.S Titanic. They were wanting to see America and were taking the ship of dreams. On board a secret romance began with a second class man. During the sinking she went below decks searching for him and she went down with the ship and died in the freezing cold waters of the Atlantic ocean. She does remember her death, but she will not talk about it much.
Wizard:
Name: Nick Conant Age: 17 Year of Birth: 1992 House: Slytherin Looks: Personality: Nick keeps to himself. He is the one that is always there for everything that goes on but mearly watches and keeps his opinion to himself. He will talk but dont expect him to be the one to start up a long conversation because that just wont happen. But maybe it just takes the right person to get him to open up.

Text Cut: Profiles
Wizard
Name: Raven Rivera House: Gryffindor Date of Birth: August 16 Age: 17 Year: 7 Blood: Half Blood
Appearance Eye Color: Crystal Blue Hair: Dark Brown Height: 6’0” Complexion: Pale
Personality
Raven is, overall, rather friendly. He’s nice, and would be happy to talk to you, or help you out, he just wouldn’t be the best to trust with most things. He’s insightful, he sees things about people that most others don’t, but he’s still very troublesome. He may be seventeen, but he’s far from mature or responsible. He loves teasing people, and saying the outright truth. He doesn’t think about what will happen if he says something, until afterwards, but he’ll be able to guess the reactions of anyone listening to him. Raven is stubborn, and will never give in easy. It will take a bit of persuading for him to do anything that you’d like him to do. He is very argumentative, and he will never be the one to apologize first, even if he knows he should. Raven doesn’t like being bothered, or uncomfortable, and he blocks out anything he doesn’t want to listen to. It will take a lot to get him angry or annoyed, but calms off easily, too. He’s good at distracting himself from things he’d rather not think about, as well. Raven has a conscience, but he’s very shameless. He’s girl-crazy, and he’s almost proud of this fact.
Family & Background
Raven was brought up knowing just as much about non-magical things as magical things, being half-blood, and he likes it that way. He’s an only child, and though he has a rather big house, it’s pretty lonely, so it’s a good thing he lives near so many other wizarding families. Otherwise he’d probably go mad. He has a reputation for throwing lots of parties, whether at home or at Hogwarts, but he does more things than that, and thinks about girls. Raven loves being outside, swimming and being on a broom in particular. And he’s very social, and it’s very easy for him to talk to anyone. And he likes arguing, in a friendly manner of course, and often likes being right. As friendly as Raven is, as soon as he’s bothered by you, or he doesn’t want to talk to someone for whatever reason, he easily will blatantly ignore you, or give you a cold shoulder. He won’t be the one to decide to make up after a fight, because of a mixture between pride, arrogance and stubbornness.

Dead
Name: Kyla Luciano Nickname: Ky Date of Birth: February 14th (1889) Date of Death: February 14th (1905) Age at Death: 16 Blood: Pure
Appearance Eye Color: Green Hair: Brown Height: 5’6”
Personality
Kyla keeps to herself. She finds it difficult to talk to people, and shies away from them. She can only really open up to people she’s close to and comfortable with, but the only thing is, she’s always too shy to get that close to anyone. The most people she talks comfortably to are her two brothers. Kyla really does get embarrassed easily, too, especially when someone asks her a question, or if people talk to her. Though it’s not something that’s common, as everyone who knows either of her brothers knows what she’s like. She tries keeping away from crowds, as it means more people. She would like to be able to talk to people without embarrassing herself, but she just... Can’t. And the way she gets flustered by being talked to often makes others see her as weird. Kyla tries to keep away from any attention, and it works, most of the time, but she’s really clumsy. She can’t go anywhere without tripping over, hitting, knocking anything... Etc. Kyla tries to keep her emotions to herself, like with everything else about her, but it does show. If someone were paying attention, it would be easy to tell the slightest frown, annoyed, or sad expression. Her face shows brilliantly what she’s feeling, as much as she wished it didn’t. But it isn’t much to worry about, as most people don’t pay a great deal of attention to her. She’s very sweet and nice around her brothers, though, and very creative. If she’s alone with them, then she can really open up. She loves drawing, and writing, and her imagination runs away with her. Kyla is a very bashful girl towards herself, also part of the reason she is so shy. If anything is ever asked of Kyla, she hates saying no, even if she isn’t very close to you. Kyla doesn’t really talk to anyone if she can help it, but she pays a great deal of attention to everyone around her. She’s intuitive, and even the fraction of a change in expression, it’s easy for her to tell how they really feel. And she’s even intuitive about herself, as soon as she feels something; she nearly always knows what it is.
Family & Background
Kyla grew up in a very wealthy family, and was always indifferent about it. Both of her parents brought her up to be a well-mannered girl. If she ever does talk, which doesn't happen very often, you'll notice how soft, gentle and articulate her voice is. Kyla always uses her manners, but she generally keeps away from people as she's so shy. When she needs to talk to someone, though, she's very courteous and polite. Everyone on her fathers side, including her father are from Italian decent, including her. She was born in Italy along with her two brothers, Clark and Niko. Her mother, however, was born in Greece, and all of her mothers family are Greek. Kyla and her family always moved around a lot, and many times she went from living in Italy to Greece, and, finally, to England. Her family never moved from England after that, but they always visited Greece and Italy. In the summer of 1905, Kyla and her family were in Italy, the year before her sixth year in Hogwarts, when an Earthquake hit. Kyla was killed, the rest of her family left untouched. She vividly remembers everything that happened, but it's unlikely for her to talk about normal things, let alone her death.
You can all join and thanks for the bios! Here is one of my bios!
Name: Raquel Arcenia Rodriguez Age: 19 Born: May 31, 1988 Died: September 12, 2007
Family members before death: She had the biggest family anyone can imagine. She had the typical mother and father and ten siblings to boot. She had eight brothers and two sisters. She was the third and youngest female of the family and the ninth child. She also lived with two of her aunts and three uncles and three of her grandparents. Don’t ask how they all lived under one roof, but they did.
Personality: She’s a very loud and typical Hispanic. It’s really only natural when you grow up with such a large family. She’s very independent due to the fact she often had to look after herself. She’s very brave. She sometimes seems a bit tough and mean but she’s really a nice person once you get to know her. And, she may not look it, but she’s a huge flirt.
Short History: Raquel was always overshadowed by her older siblings. She was one of the younger children and sometimes felt neglected. She grew up a fairly happy life though.
Her death was just a rather unfortunate incident. She was driving home one evening and got into a terrible accident that killed her. Her airbag hadn’t gone off and this caused her head to smash into the steering wheel (she’s short: 5'2"), killing her almost immediately.
Height: 6’3” Eye Color: Orange Blood: Half-Blood
Personality: Weston is a lively hot head. He’s always energetic and friendly for the most part. Though usually his ego can get the better of and he’ll end up coming off sounding and looking rather arrogant. Weston is also very competitive. He hates losing and always feels the need to win. He’s quite the gambler and loves to make bets on anyone and anything regardless of what it’s about and whether it’s morally okay. Sometimes he can be inconsiderate but he doesn’t do it on purpose. He just doesn’t get the fact that people have feelings because as far as Weston is concerned, feelings are for girls. Though perhaps if he found a girl, he might soften up and open up a little. Until then what you see is what you get from him

Toothpick Disappearer * Likes her 'figgies' * Mmm... Bagels!
Name: Laura
Year of death: 1945; Died at the age of 19
Place of Birth: Montana
Looks: To come
Personality: Laura is a strong willed girl. If she wants something she will try her hardest. Some people think she is stubborn. She likes to have fun, but it a very hard worker.
History: Laura was born to a well off family. Her family never really stuggled, even through the great depression. She was a family of four. Her father was a lawyer, her mother a housewife and she had a younger brother.
When the war had started, she stayed at home- trying to do what she could do to help out. The day she turned 18, she went over seas to work as a nurse. She worked in many places. She was a front line nurse for a month, but spent much of her time in the tents.
3 months after her 19th birthday- there was a bombing and she was killed
Name: Jeremiah
Age: 17
House: Gryffindor
Year: 7
Looks: TO COME
Personality: Jeremiah is a loud indivual, and is fairly easy going. It takes alot for people to get on his bad side. He always tries to look at the bright side of things
Name: Kimberly Miller
Age: 17
Year: 7th
House: Ravenclaw
Heritage: Muggle-born
DOB: May 29
POB: France
Appereance:
Height- 5'5
Hair- Blonde, just past her shoulders, has two layers in it and side bangs that touch her cheek bones
Eyes- hazel
Build- Tall and lanky, but graceful at the same time
Personality: Kimberly's thoughtful and can go for minutes at a time when she is lost in her own mind. She gets straight A's and even though she is book smart she is street smart as well. She naturally didn't think going out past curfew was a good idea but figured if she was caught it would be in a large group and she would get off without punishment. She had never dreamt of the possibility that another world could exist. But as she starts to bond with the people there she starts t believe more and more.
Personality: When she was alive she was a girl with lots of attitude and was very stubborn but now that she's dead that's sort of faded away into a more reserved personality. She's very quiet and simply goes about her life in an almost robotic way without caring about almost anything. She'll connect with few to show her real personality, but even that is rare. Even so the one thing that shows out most in the small girl is curiosity to learn more about where she is. Some of the attributes she used to show before death were loyalty and the tendency to trust the wrong people. She was average when it came to school marks and more what people would call street smart. She's very clever. Peighton was one of those people who finds it difficult to be mean...and even if she does slip and say something rather rude it didn't take long before she apologized. She used to be an excellent Quidditch player when she was alive, but now never gets on a broom, though she still has the same skills. She'd much rather sit down and Oftentimes now, to the people around her she comes off as bland and boring, but her true disposition hasn't even been revealed to them.
History: Before death she would be considered a muggleborn, her two parents being surgeons. They were reluctant to allow her to go off to Hogwarts but because they still found it hard to believe in such place. But soon they found they did as the girl went off to school, returning each summer. They were infinitely proud of their daughter and could tell she was much happier than she'd ever been at her muggle school, getting better marks, excelling in the sport of quidditch (she was expected to be Ravenclaw's captain the next year after already playing for 3 years as a Seeker), even sometimes bringing a friend home from school, to stay a week over the summer, or to her parent's dismay, she went over to her friends house, leaving them once more. She had a 8 year old little sister who always sent her letters during the school term and her parents may have showed the slightest bit of favoritism towards her when she came back from school, but if so, only because they missed her so much. However one evening at Hogwarts something terrible happened. She got in a fight with another girl at school, Hannah Jackson, and they put each other up to a broom race, over the forbidden forest, then once around the lake and back to the Quidditch pitch. A small crowd of around twenty people watched from the Quidditch stands as she hit a tree she didn't see while near the edge of the the forbidden forest, no doubt the result of a confundus charm from her opponent, slipped off her broom and fell to a watery death in the black lake. she couldn't swim and no one else could get to her quick enough. As they pulled her out of the water they realized her heart was no long beating, her limbs limp. Hannah, of course, felt awful, blaming herself, but there was nothing they could do.
She drifted down the silver river, pulled onto land by someone lingering by the body of water. She coughed out the water and looked around, a bit confused at first, but then getting the obscure feeling that this was where she belonged, and was where she was supposed to be. So without any more question into what exactly was happening she picked herself up and ambled into the town, taken in by an elderly looking woman, with a small cottage near the river all to herself. And that is where she has lived comfortably since she passed away years ago. Pana changed her name to Peighton and her last name to Wolf and can't even recall her real name. She isn't anywhere near content, unable to remember anything about her death, but a horrible darkness filing her lungs. Sometimes she lingers by the silver stream for days at a time trying to remember what happened and getting horrible flashbacks she forgets moments after until the woman she lives with, Etna, pulls her away.
