F.A.Q
¦¦ Why should I join Disenchantment RPG? Despite Deathly Hallows's recent release, there have been very few games set at Hogwarts over the course of the book. The unique structure of DH compared to the earlier books gives us more free reign over what's happening at Hogwarts while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are tracking down Horcruxes. We want to explore the darker atmosphere at Hogwarts and use what JK Rowling gave us to create a game that's not just social, but delves deep into the experiences that students were having as they established their loyalties, struggled with the abuses of the Carrows, and watched as a war raged outside the school. In this sense, it provides a unique experience. We are also dedicated to making sure the game lasts long enough to play the full story arc so that you aren't disappointed when activity fizzles out two months from now.
¦¦ Does this game follow Deathly Hallows book canon? Yes! As much as possible. We are doing our best to keep an accurate timeline of the events of Book 7, though there is some guesswork involved as we obviously have to fill in some gaps!
¦¦ Why is ____ a prefect and not ____?! Why is Draco Head Boy? Here is our little story -- All the badges were mailed out, but not every student came back. Hermione and Ron abdicated their roles as prefects, and the Carrows and Snape decided to make Seamus and Jane the Gryffindor 7th year prefects. Ernie Macmillan was originally Head Boy, but the Carrows stripped him of his title and made him a prefect instead, handing the Head Boy title over to Draco Malfoy.
¦¦ Can I apply for a character not on the list? What if I want to play an adult? Sorry, but we're limiting the game to only 7th and 6th year students who are attending the 1997-1998. Because our focus is going to be on the drama that went on in Hogwarts while the trio and the Order were fighting outside the school's walls, you wouldn't WANT an outsider character! All professors are being NPC'd by the moderators to keep the plot consistent.
¦¦ How did my character get a journal? We have given a detail analysis on how the journals were created and how they are used. Check it out! Your character would have been able to create a journal with the help of another character who had one.
¦¦ I've got a plot idea!!! GREAT! While the mods are committed to keeping the game full of fresh plot and twists for characters to react to, we want our players to be proactive! If you have a plot idea, contact MOD!CATE and she might be able to hook it up to the main game plot or can help you find the best time to implement it. We aren't going to be saying 'no' to almost any plot (unless it is so extreme -- like killing another character!) but we want forewarning! (see next question!)
¦¦ Can my character fight back against the Carrows? We expect that many of the characters are NOT going to want to put up with the tyranny of the Death Eater rule over Hogwarts. However if your character is making a spectacle of themselves they WILL be punished. We recommend that contact MOD!CATE concerning any acts of protest! We want characters to fight back, but we do have a plot line (and quite the goodie bag of random/surprise plots that will pop up!) and love to have forewarning of plots (see above question)!
¦¦ Can my character get pregnant? No. Sorry. While sex (likely) happens at Hogwarts, the school is not as free of a place as it was when Dumbledore was in charge. In addition to this, because all Hogwarts students are capable of magic (i.e, 'contraceptive charms') and have innate magical abilities, we're going to assume that the students have the common sense to protect themselves or, if they neglect to do that, that their innate magic protects them from unwanted pregnancy!
¦¦ I need to get in touch with a mod! That's what we're here for! We have a mod-squad of three, but each of us have different duties! Please contact any of the mods with general questions, and either Meg or Loren with questions about applications.
