Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

I don't LIKE putting my characters through pain, but I enjoy the dramatics of writing painful scenes. I find my heart breaking for my character when they get too hurt, but I persevere because I want to see them triumph over their situation. I think psychological pain is the one I come across most. (I am using this all in application to Jack, for she has been the most tragic of my characters.) It does vary on the character. Some characters I have less care for and don't mind letting them die off. Others, I love.

I think Naomi is evil. She has taken out all of her pains on the world and has amplified small reasons to be reasons strong enough to kill. She is selfish and envious and she lashes out on innocents.

I realized it is hard for a writer to create a character that is evil in this sort of setting because, to make it real, you need some sort of sympathy for the character and that ends up making them into misled, misguided, etc. Pure evil is not something I am sure can exist. See my two 'bad' characters... One I would call unbalanced, and the other misguided. Not evil.
