User blog:Bond em7/RPing a Hogwarts Headmaster

Hey guys! So, I was thinking today about how many things Kinsel is involved in. I obviously based him on Dumbledore, but added a Slytherin twist of my own making him enjoyable to play to me. So, I was thinking "This Egypt thing is really straining his time...taking him away from Hogwarts a lot, and such. He probably would like some advice on things like that...but who could he ask?  He doesn't really have any close friends...just collegues at Hogwarts, in the ICW, Ministry, Order etc.  Well....who did Dumbledore go to for advice?" Thinking about that, I realized that Dumbledore (and Snape) went the the portraits of the Deceased Headmasters for advice. So, I thought it would be a good idea to create a place where that RP is possible, and I thought it would be fun to allow anyone who wants to to RP the old Hogwarts Heads. As such, I created the Headmaster's Office/Portraits area, and have created a template with all the previous Heads I could find any info on at the Harry Potter Wikia. I put the pics of each in the gallery, and created a huge bubble template with all their bubbles for anyone to use. Each week I'll be posting a question from Kinsel to the portraits asking for some advice or guidance, and anyone who wants to can use the bubbles to answer. I do of course have a few rules and requests to make this flow smoothly. First off, the Heads are first come first serve. That means if someone posts as Dumbledore, they have control of Dumbledore for the duration of the question/week. Please don't post with a bubble someone's already using. Secondly, please don't use the same Headmaster/Headmistress twice in a row. This is to allow others to use popular Heads and ensure the same person doesn't monopolize the most popular ones, or their favorites. Third, when using the bubbles, please make sure to fill out the name=USERNAME field with your username so we know who's controlling the bubble for that week. Finally, please try to RP the character in an appropriate way. I've sorted them each into Houses, even if they don't officially have one to help give them personality traits, and on each one's bubble added some interesting fact about them, or what they were good at to help. I would like to keep these characters as close to canon as possible, especially when we do know a lot about the characters, such as Snape, Dumbledore and Mcgonagall. The Harry Potter Wiki has good info on most of them that can help you RP them too. If you are RPing them in a way that is very unlike their characters, you will be asked not to participate in the future. This is mostly targeted at the very well known ones. Well, I think that's it, so hopefully this is fun for everyone. I'm going to go post my first question now, ad well get this started.
