Time-Turning Rules

[Revolutions Administration]

Is there some seclusive part of a characters past that needs to be revealed to the general public? Did you create a back story with another character that you want to actually rp out? Just want to wet your hands in writing when your character was four? Or an adult character reminiscing on their childhood?

Well then, welcome to the HR Chronicles!

While this section of Hogwarts Revolutions does not co-exist with our current timeline, it is still an in character board. Therefore, it is not with the chat boards, and not with the main IC boards, but rather classified as almost "fan-fiction" in the Showcase.



Just a few basic rules and tips:

1) All IC rules still apply, including board rating and line minimums. Please refer to the Rules and Regulations for more information.

2) Know your timeline. If you are role playing in 1985, your characters should not have psychic abilities. In other words, they are not going to know the fate of the last war, or Harry Potter's years at Hogwarts. Firebolts and Nimbus 2000s likewise would not exist, or the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, etc.

Know what era you are in and try and be realistic toward it.

3) In the first post of your thread please record the time and location.

For example:

September 6th, 1999
Diagon Alley

This is VERY important to keeping timelines from mixing up and so that everyone knows when what you are role playing out to place in reference to your character, and perhaps theirs as well.

4) Have fun!

Concerning Non-Player Characters

Non-Player Character (NPC) - A character that is not actively role played by a specific person, that has not gone through the application process, and does not have an account.

In other words, an NPC is a character that does not exist according to the administration, but are supporting characters created by the writers to develop their characters. IE: Mothers, brothers, old childhood friends, a lost love, etc.

Generally, we do NOT allow NPCs to play any major roles in threads, however, concerning the nature of this board, they CAN be role played here.

You do not have to get the character approved. However, some guidelines also exist when using NPC characters:

1) They must adhere to ALL of character creation guidelines. Refer to the Rules and Regulations for further information.

2) They should not have any grand influence on future events. Your NPCs can be rich, death eaters, so on and so forth as long as they do not have an overall catastrophic role in history, as well, they don't really exist.

3) No Book Character NPCs. As we are very strict on who role plays the characters created by JKR, please do not NPC them into your threads. You can REFERENCE them, by saying things such as "Sarah's eyes lit up as she watched Sirius Black walk by with his Gryffindor friends, daydreaming about what it would be like to be his girlfriend." But do not actually put words into their mouths or express their thoughts and feelings.
