Talk Bubbles
So, I fixed your talk bubble coding. Here's how you'll use your bubbles:

That piece of code will give you this:

Hello there. I'm not in this department, but I think you still would need to create a sorting forum unless your character is out of Hogwarts.  Speedysnitch   Talk  23:28, May 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep, if I recall correctly.  Speedysnitch   Talk  20:20, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Talk Bubble
The bubble has been added.

Animagi
The reason I'm asking is because everyone cannot be an animagi. We monitor this closely, and I'm making sure that you have good reasons for them to be animagi, and that they can do the magic necessary to learn to become one. If they can't, then they shouldn't be an animagi. So, Basically I'm asking what reasons do you have that they should be an animagi, and are they talented enough magically to perform this difficult magic? Bond_em7 (Owl Me ) 12:21, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, here's an example. I have Karith Black who is an animagi. He is an excellent transfiguration student, and passed his NEWT with flying colors. He researched becoming an animagi his last two years at Hogwarts, and was able to achieve it in his seventh year. It was a challenge for him, but he wanted to do it to show how talented he was at transfiguration magic.

What I would like from you is somethingn similar. Can you show your characters are good at transfiguration, and why would they want to become an animagi? Have they practiced? How long did it take them etc. Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:00, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Xylianne Molyneaux is approved to be an animagus. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 13:25, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Classes
I understand the idea, but I don't think I like putting it in the classes. The reason is that all the teachers have their own grading space in their detention areas (for example:Detention:Transfiguration) and even if they choose not to use that, it's already there. Also, there are plunty of places for students to roleplay (such as the lake, the clocktower, common rooms, the great hall etc), and classes really aren't the place to be socializing. <font face="cursive" size="3" color"#2F2F4F" >Bond_em7 (<font face="Calibri" size="1" color="#A9ACB6">Owl Me ) 14:22, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

I actually hd people already make the Ravenclaw and Head Boy prefects, but if you would like to mak ethe Gryffindor Male PRefect, that would b awesome. It needs to be 5th-6th Year.

Your Friend

Captain Pikachu (talk) 10:01, July 10, 2012 (UTC).

Kira, I'm happy to have a look at your character pages from a grammatical and syntactical standpoint. However, to avoid setting a potentially unpleasant precendent, I think it might be best if I send you a list of recommended amendments (perhaps with explanations as to why in certain cases), rather than making the changes directly myself. It is slower, but it does sustain the concept that character pages are sacrosanct and the sole property of their creators.

All the best, Alex

Reynaud
Let us begin with Monsieur Etienne. I gather the character is predicated on the concept that a male Veela can exist.

In the precis sidebar, Bertille Didina needs a space before (Sister).

In the short character bio, "engagement, and then marriage, they", "the couple's first son", "birthdays, the couple", "hair, though they both", "another daughter, Fauve Brigh (b. January 9, 1995), was born", "growing, Brielle", "another, and their", "youngest, Reynaud Aristide Etienne, joined", "November 17, (year needed)'", "From birth,", "was a priority.", "family, the boys", "magic, while the girls did 'far".

I'll look at the rest shortly, Alex Jiskran (talk) 12:59, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Reynaud's placement
This is not remotely relevant to my editing, but I must say that I find Reynaud's position as a Hufflepuff fraught with difficulty, given the pure-blood Veela status you describe. Even if he himself is the very apotheosis of tolerance, I would have thought others might well perceive patronisation where there was none, and Slytherins in particular, I imagine, would target him for endless abuse concerning his chosen associates. Similarly, coming from a family that prizes magical ability and knowledge, would he not seem a more suitable fit in Ravenclaw? He somehow does not feel adequately egalitarian for a Hufflepuff, rather a superior with the common touch.

I don't wish to cause trouble, I'm merely trying to understand the process by which he arrived among the yellow-and-back. Alex Jiskran (talk) 13:09, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Veela genetics
As I understand, Veela are rather like Dryads, in that they breed pure and true in the female line, somehow passing on 100% of their genetic material to daughters. I understand, now, about the Hufflepuff thing. All the best, Alex.

I posted at SaschaI love the Cats, and Wolves (talk) 23:15, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Softening Etienne's (apparent) stance
Király, I was thinking about your comments concerning this character, and it struck me that, perhaps, one way to take some of the starch out of him, to make him evidently "just one of the boys", might be to write the personality section in the first person. Just a thought. Take care, Alex

PS If you still want me to, I'll have a look at your other characters over the next couple of days. A Jiskran (talk) 09:04, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hermionesque
Király, I take your point about Etienne - I didn't want to make him fit in 100%, I only meant that Hermione is given frequent lines to show her compassion and to balance her swottiness (teacher's pet qualities), and in a similar way, if Etienne spoke about himself, using mainly the words you have now, but with the odd self-deprecating aside, it would make him sound and feel more approachable, and, to my mind, more like a Hufflepuff, without taking away from his heritage as you've already described it.

Anyway, as I said, I'll look at your others as well, and my perspective may well shift again. All the best, Alex.

PS If I do come up with something for Etienne, I'll probably put it in my Sandbox - then you can chose for yourself how much or little to take from it. A Jiskran (talk) 10:02, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

First impression
Király, it's only an approximation, but I put something in my Sandbox, at the bottom,

http://dumbledoresarmyroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jiskran/Sandbox

that is a rough version of what I was talking about. Hope it might give you some ideas, Alex Jiskran (talk) 10:37, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Copying Etienne
Kira, of course. It was for you to use however you want. Glad you liked it. Take care, Alex Jiskran (talk) 11:07, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Einar & Co.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Kira, and yes, I had rather gathered that you were following closely, but I take it as a wonderful compliment. If the RPs are entertaining enough that people not involved want to read them, then to me we are managing to bring roles to life, which is the objective. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  05:16, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
Thank you, you're unfailingly kind. And I think it would be great to have more half-beings (vampires, veela, hags, werewolves, etc.) in the Society. It gives them a darker feel. So, please, make some!

Oh, you definitely don't need my permission to make a character. You have full creative license here. But, yeah, just go ahead and make all the half-beings you want. The more the merrier!

Einar's obsession
What makes Einar fun to write for is he's just a psychotic as most of the Dark side, he just happens to have decided to defend the angels. To me, it's kind of the "Wolverine" position on the team (comics, not films). I would imagine your Nikolya is a lot more sane than he is. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:18, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

Kira, I just posted here, if you feel inclined to RP. For it to make sense, however, if you haven't already (which I doubt) you'll need to glance at User:Jiskran/Ministry report on S Shunpike 98/2.

That's a moral issue for Mol, Kira.

Time Room
Obviously delighted you enjoyed, Kira, but I had Einar bar the door so that what I wanted to be a delicate scenario hinged on Liss' (if I'm honest shocked) decision, and no one else could accidentally tip the balance. I was also looking for it to be a non-repeatable process, as it's only her amazing self-confidence that makes Einar see something worth taking so huge a risk for. Still, if it worked for you, then we got it largely right, at least. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  15:50, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

I love the Cats, and Wolves (talk) 15:37, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the ICoW forum does count as a version of Adult Sorting.

Plus ca change . ..
Kira, are you looking to have Tanis Nyt move up in the Ministry? Because now would be the time for her to apply for a transfer to something more dynamic, if she wanted. Also, I hope that, on occasion at least, Einar still manages the odd entertaining aside. :) <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  05:55, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Tanis
Well, to start with, Kira, the Auror Office needs a Head, as Jaylyn is now Einar's bodyguard full-time, and the Supreme Mugwump also needs to be filled as a role, urgently. The Space Room may yet prove vital and has no-one, and I don't anticipate Magical Creatures seeing much of the action, so I would say she might want to put in for one of these. :D <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:08, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Application accepted (without explanation)
Kira, you don't need to "put her in" for anything. She's the new Auror Head - Congratulations! I'll write it up now. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:16, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Office invite
Yep, Kira, the section is set up. The "invitation only" comment, to be honest, was to stop it filling up with every character with a request turning up, which was what didn't, but I feared might, happen. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  08:02, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

End of Tanis' MoM career before it gets off the ground
Kira, if Tanis seriously advocates a WHPS member like Kristina Cantrell for a place at the MoM in the current environment, she will be lynched by her co-workers before the Minister has time to offer an opinion.

Estella Stanton, however, is a great candidate. I was about to put her in the Law Office, so that will go ahead.

<font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  06:45, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

IC/OOC
Kira, this one doesn't matter remotely, but from here on I'm afraid, in character, Tanis needs to show some of the edge and paranoia you've depicted, as a single WHPS member getting into the Ministry could blow the whole country's efforts against them out of the water. She's Head of the Auror Office, which makes every tiny aspect of security at least something to do with her. Out of character, this is an over the top reaction by the Ministry and Einar, but I'm really pushing people, so the war doesn't degenerate into a farce, to consider that their opinions and their characters' opinions and action are not going to coincide for a while, at least not if they are nice people - because, sadly, truly nice people are often consumed in huge numbers by a conflict like this.

Tanis, I expect, will fray and wilt a little, under all this pressure, but I'm hoping it's a real RP opportunity for you to establish what her core/command personality truly is, and if it's not someone who wants to, or can, be Head of the Auror Office, that's just something the Ministry will have to cope with. My idea is, as I may have already said, for Einar to delegate as much and as far as possible, so Tanis has been catapulted into the big leagues, and a period of adjustment is entirely natural. The gathering stormclouds, unfortunately, won't allow it to be an era of any great duration, but, for now, stumbling is going to happen all around (just look at some of Einar's blunders!).

Hope all that makes sense, and if not, feel free to query, <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:15, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

The smarting of Smartphone
Under the circumstances, Kira, you're doing great.

I had Einar pick Tanis because I believe he would see something much like himself in her, in the confluence and conflict of chiaroscuro of the soul, so either way you choose to take her will make for fascinating RP. My feeling is that both ways the "goody two shoes" should be on the surface as, if the Thanna personality is really looking to sabotage she wouldn't tip her hand, assuming she's bright, until she's completely in place. In fact, I would almost expect the "bad girl" to be more zealous and less merciful in hunting down the "bad guys" than the more balanced, "good" personality. That, however, is all just me.

If she is going to betray the MoM, we'll have to discuss when and how she'll be unmasked, but if not, I would have thought this would be the perfect opportunity, with others and indeed the whole country in grave danger, for her "better self" to reassert control. She could even sell the meeting attendance as "intel gathering", and as it happened before the outlawing of the WHPS there is no criminal activity attached to it.

Each way offers superb story possibilities, so I'd say it's entirely up to you, although, out of character, it will obviously be a more complex interaction, the more layers you put on her.

I try to give advice like Tolkein's elves, so I trust I've been adequately useless. :D <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:50, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

DoL has been banned infinitely from the wiki, and she requests that her character Isabell be entrusted to you. Let me know if you're willing to take Isabell on as your character.  Ec ho  st  ar  13:22, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Adoption of Bell
I'm sorry to leave a note on your first day of "custody", Kira, but that has been bugging me ever since I first read it. It put me forcibly in mind of Terry Pratchett's "Eric", where a god is described thus -

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">What the wossname is it?" said the parrot.

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">"It's their god."

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">"Get away?"

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">"No, really. It's Quezovercoatl. Half man, half chicken, half jaguar, half serpent, half scorpion, and half mad."

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">The parrot's beak moved as it worked this out.

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">"That makes a wossname total of three homicidal maniacs," it said.

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">"About right, yes," said the statue.

<span style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">Take care, <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  06:48, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Layering, yes! Mathematics, no!
Kira, Lupa included lots of detail in the backstory, which is great, but she created categories for qualities she used only once, and that clogs up the "Categories" page no end. You don't set up "Grandad was a Dark Wizard" tags just because of Tanis, and that difference is what I meant. Most of Lupa's "complexity" was just compressing qualities directly taken from other mythological sources, and in the end the character looked far too convoluted to imagine realistically in an RP scenario.

This is one of those times when the old writers' acronym KISS applies clearly and consistently (Keep It Simple, Stupid). :D <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  09:04, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Part and apart
I've suddenly realised, Kira, we never see you in Chat. You're around the site a lot, but not there. Anyway, thinking about Tanis and such, Dylan Miller sent an Owl to Einar, so a team of Aurors has been despatched to Washington under Carter Smith, who was the IMC Head, but got replaced by Jason Loveguard.

Tanis is welcome to issue any protocols, or requests she wishes to the team, but Carter will - technically - be at least on the same level (bureaucratically speaking) as herself, so it should involve a modicum of consideration. As Cara Dust doesn't feel able to participate in the Wizengamot, I was wondering if Tanis might be interested in taking her spot? I don't want to send endless IC Owls, so if you say yes, she'll just get a "Congratulations" note from Einar.

Hope evertything's going OK, <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  12:37, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Wizengamot
Tanis only gets the position, Kira, because she's Auror Head, so she definitely wouldn't be giving it up. As for the rest, it's my choice who Einar wants to take advice from, and I don't see any problem with putting you and your new Order of Merlin 3rd Class on this august advisory body. :) It won't mean a lot in active terms, I don't imagine, but it will provide IC justificaton for her having considerable knowledge "outside her area", as many topics would be discussed in those sessions. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  21:08, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Selena Tyrrell
I sent her to Tanis, Kira, because she's already in the Ministry, so it should definitely be Tanis' call whether she's Auror material or not. Einar will happily back her, whatever she says. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  20:56, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Auror Test

Auror Test
Ok. thank you. I will take the Auror test right away.

Cgibb95  21:45, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

My Auror test is ready.

Cgibb95  22:11, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Selena the Auror - or not
It's Tanis' decision all the way down the line, Kira. If she recommends Selena for the Washington expedition, Einar will send her without further question. If she wants to keep her in London, that will be fine too. If Tanis doesn't feel she's Auror material, equally the matter is closed. :) <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  22:21, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Washington
As it's technically a support role, Kira, and there will be, at least, a few people around to help, Bryans if all else fails, I think Cgibb95 can certainly dip a toe in deep waters if so inclined. You can always issue a recall order to London, at any time, if Selena appears to be waning rather than waxing in stranger tides. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  22:40, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

"Y" is for the eternal curiosity, surely, Kira? <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  06:40, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

The constant wheel and miasma
One throws around ideas, Kira, in the hope that others will be sparked in whatever manner, and thus, directly or otherwise, provide a later reciprocal flame of some calibre. In other words, anything I write or convey to you, as far as I'm concerned, that isn't already manifest in one of my forms (and many things that are, if even cosmetically altered :) ), you are entirely welcome to deploy in whatever manner or degree you see fit :D <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  06:53, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

A matter of Bonding
Tanis could logically ask Kinsel, Kira, as the Ministry needs reinforcements, if any of those who just did their N.E.W.T.s would, if his opinion, make good Aurors, and want to be such. Kinsel is, after all, a fellow member of the Wizengamot, tasked with the protection of Britain. <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:45, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Good to see that kira that you re on wikias i have joined if i have a question can u answere it 08 Sep.

Playing and thinking outside the (Sand)box
Kira, I'm happy for you to do whatever strikes you as "Tanis". The joy of RP for me, is that the story DOESN'T unfold the way it would if I were telling it alone, and since nothing you've done that I've seen has been remotely unhelpful, or designed to do anything but advance various storylines, I'm very willing to follow your lead as often as you do mine. :D <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  08:14, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Dervish and Banges
A thought occurs, Kira, that might be of interest to you. Given Mol's work on the Remembrall, and her currently minor role at the Ministry, what if I suggested to Echo that the Ministry "reactivate" Dervish and Banges, in order to keep a closer eye on Hogwarts, and the devices owned and used by its students? Would she, do you think, make a good shopkeeper, as the place would need one, with, I would imagine, regular RP? <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  07:54, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

"One little maid (not far) from school"
That's great, Kira, as I'd like to set the place up, but I'm already RPing The Leaky Cauldron, and I've offered to take on Honeydukes, so it would be much better if it were someone else here, and Mol definitely seems to fit the bill. I'll Owl Echo now, and see what she says, as Sorting and Stores is her department. Fingers crossed. :) <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  08:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Thaumometer
Well, Kira, Steve's very literal and scientific, and he's trying to work out EXACTLY how he escaped from the cave-in and PRECISELY how much magic of what kind would have been required. The problem is, when his subconscious kicks in on the topic, it activates his passive TK, and that's what's sending the thaumometer haywire. Steve is the problem, but who's going to tell him? Not the Ministry! <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="orange" >Alex  <font face="Harrington" size="5" color="black" >Jiskran  15:13, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
