Welcome everyone to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures! Now, I've noticed that it hasn't been to terribly active so I realized that people must not understand that they may post! SOOO Here is a quick OOC guide to the department.
There are no sub categories because we do not have a lot of members currently working in the separate specialties, but here is a quick overview of them again.
(Hope Amy doesn't mind me copying and pasting her epic post)
- Spoiler:
Head of Department - Zoe Marie Gould.
The Head of Department is the official leader of the Department for the
Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The Head oversees the
whole department, signs off on important legal documents concerning
the documents and makes the final decisions on proposals made by
his/her colleagues.

has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical
community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those
laws" and any Magical Creature that falls into the Being bracket is
observed and looked after by these specialists. Wizards, Witches,
Muggles, Goblins, Vampires, Hags, Giants, House-Elves, Veela, and
Werewolves [in their human form] all fall into this category. People in
this Department work with all of these Magical Creatures, doing things
from Werewolf-Wizard Relations to keeping an eye on Underage Magic.

part of the responsibility in shaping those laws and any Magical Creature that
falls into this bracket is observed and looked after by these specialists. Magical
Creatures such as transformed Werewolves, Ghouls, Dragons, Centaurs,
Merpeople, Hippogriffs, Thestrals, Dementors, Basilisks and Chimeras. Those

Capture Unit.

by the Ministry of Magic. The word 'Spirit' is used to catalogue the members of
the Wizarding World that are spirit-like in state. These particular specialists will
work with Ghosts, Poltergeists, Gytrashes, Nymphs and Boggarts. Those who
work in this department do anything from welcoming Ghosts into 'the afterlife'
to regulating Nymphs and catching Boggarts.
Magical Creature Healers - Apply today!
Chastity Moor
These employees specialise in all Magical Creatures. They seek to not
only cure Magical Creatures of current ailments but they also look for
long-term solutions to illnesses that afflict all Magical Creatures. They
study DragonPox in Wizards and Witches and explore the effects the
Werewolf bite has on the Human body. They are the Magical version
of a vet but they do much more than that. They not only cure with
what they know but the they seek to cure by creating new medicines.
Secretaries, Interns and Personal Assistants - Apply today!
Selene Anabelle Brun
These employees are, basically, the help. They sort through the post
that comes through, go out in search of coffee and make sure that
whoever they are assign to are on time for everything. They truly
are an important part of the department though they are often
overlooked by nearly everyone. They are they gel that keeps the
department together and this is the best place to start if you want
to move up through the Ministry.
Anyway, here is a rundown on the overall layout of the department:
Layout: Cubicles: These take up quite a bit of space in the center of the entire floor. Most of the people in the department work in the cubicles except for a few exceptions. Personal Assistants to the Head. The head of the department, and some people who have been working here longer. Of course this doesn't mean you can't get promoted into an office, most people have cubicles...
Main office: This is Zoe's spot. If you need a special talk with her, feel free to post in the correct area. She is pretty lienant, and will discuss IC goings on.. if you have any questions OOC, just Pm me.
Conference Room: The place were large meetings take control. A modern looking room, complete with a working computer and projector, this is where most of the meetings for anyone interested will take place. If people need to come together on an issue, this will take place in the conference room, or if someone would rather meet Zoe there for a private meeting, feel free to PM me and request one.
Creature Containment and Research Center: This is where all creatures who are classified as X or XX by the Ministry of Magic are kept in the Ministry. The animals are in large enclosures, which mimic their natural environments. If you are researching, or healing, or even just taking care of these creatures. This is where you will go for any Creature X or XX.. unless rare, in which case you may go looking for it in it's natural environment. (More on MOM Classifications later)
Library: Need to know about a certain creature, or need some quick tips? Go here and find out the best references... Rp finding it out, or simply use it as a point of reference for how your character knows certain things!
Bulletin board: This is where all major projects will be posted, this will be located in a sticky thread, so keep an eye on it for IC projects that you can use to help get your characters rolling.
