Me
It's been a while since I updated this, and so I thought I would add in a bit more. Most people here know that I'm married, and my wife is amazing. I would definately like to have more time to spend around here, but as I always say, real life comes first. My wife is at the top of that list, and then my boys, who are a group of highschool students that I mentor and teach. I also help out at my church a lot, and lead the children's ministry there.

As for my characters (see the list above), Karith Black and Ferlen Black were my firsts, and have prettymuch been around since the wiki was created. As with your first characters, I of course have a special place for them in my heart. However, my favorite character is Lily Elizabeth Smith who I created based upon a friend, and have enjoyed growing her and RPing her to the place she's at today, and look forward to continuing her story in the future, and seeing where she ends up. Finally, I think the most interesting character I ever created and RPed was Rebekka Romy Kaiser. If you'd like to read her story, it's one of the things I'm most proud of writing on this wiki, and is located here, and is preceeded by what Zan wrote and I updated with Rebekka's perspective here. I have a few other characters that I have created or kept for a variety of reasons, but these are my favorites.

I specifically leave Professor Kinsel off this list since he's often work as much as fun to RP. As Headmaster, he has to deal with a lot of stuff and RPs that aren't necessarily fun, but are important. I honestly think I do resonate with Kinsel more than the others, as he's based more on me than any of my others. I think a lot of the things he does is exactly what I would do if I were in his position. I would love to have more interesting RPs with him...interacting with students, giving private lessons, and helping out in the larger world, but unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be time to give Kinsel his day in the sun...which is fine for him as he prefers to remain in the background and give others the tools they need to shine anyway. If you ever want to RP with any of my characters, especially those I listed above as my favorites, please feel free to let me know and I would love to introduce them to your characters.

Anyway, I'm a B-crat and doing my best to keep this wiki running and open for those would enjoy roleplaying here. It's often a challenge as there's lots to do here, and users come and go often. Anyway, I'll help you if I can, just let me know what you need.

So, I'm on Pottermore, and instead of creating a character, I'm trying to use myself and see what Pottermore thinks of me. So, so far I'm sorted into Slytherin, and my Wand is made of Larch wood and unicorn hair. Here's what that's supposed to say about me:

Larch Wood:Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood. Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply. This much sought-after wand is, however, hard to please in the matter of ideal owners, and trickier to handle than many imagine. I find that it always creates wands of hidden talents and unexpected effects, which likewise describes the master who deserves it. It is often the case that the witch or wizard who belongs to the larch wand may never realise the full extent of their considerable talents until paired with it, but that they will then make an exceptional match.

Unicorn Hair:Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

Slytherin:

Trip
I went on a 2 week vacation, and while gone I was able to visit Hogsmeade Village in Universal Studio's Orlando. I'll be posting pictures here that I took for the wiki, because I thought they would be useful or were just cool.I haver a couple now, but there will be more to come.
