General Information:The little City of Greens is a thriving college town set in a beautiful cliffside peninsula in North Yorkshire, England. To muggles, it's your regular little college town, but to the wizarding world; it's one of the most prestigious Academies in Northern England; taking witches and wizards to a higher level of learning. Witches and wizards from all over the world dream of attending such a find academy, but only the best of the best will make it through to graduation day. Are you up for a challenge?
Greens is an open RP site that is loosely Harry Potter premised; Green’s Academy is located in North Yorkshire, England (near Scarborough), where wizards and witches reside and where parents send their budding young students for a fine education. Set within a very green luscious setting this village is quaint and charming. The town square is set to the South of Devonshire Cove where you can find specialty stores and fine restaurants to fit your needs. The town is based in a small cove off the ocean, parts of which are lined with thick forest where magical creatures of all sorts call home. The forest can be a dangerous place though, so be warned, within the towering trees vampires are known to stalk their prey.
Up to the North at the edge of the cove you will find towering cliffs pocked with networks of caves, some that are accessible from certain parts of the forest and others that can only be explored if you traverse the cliff wall above the ocean’s rocky depths. Students and vampires alike are known to explore these caves finding the treasure in the earth’s long history in formations that take hundreds of thousands of years to create.
The Hot Sulfur Hills are a place on the outskirts of town about 20 miles NW of Greens. The land is wrought with caves, some hidden with secret passage that will wind you through the earth on a wicked adventure. There are under ground caves rumored to grace the land with the perfect environment to breed young dragons, so it is advisable that you steer clears of these areas during mating season.
You will find areas with natural hot springs that bubble out of the earth creating a natural hot tub in the middle of nowhere. The minerals are said to have special healing qualities and are rumored to have spawned "The Fountain of Youth" legends that intrigue minds young and old.
You can be anyone you want to be here and have the unique opportunity to create a character of your liking, whether it is a character creation of your own, an available cannon character or one of many creature applications. We have simple rules and expect you to RP in a believable and literate fashion while using your creative mind to its fullest capacity, while working within the site premise we have created. We like to make the board interesting by adding in unique additions and see what people can come up with. We will make you think and if you are striving to become a better and more creative writer then you will find this site as home. We are very hard on creature applications though so keep that in mind when posting up your application, you MUST make it good, believable and follow historical “truths” based on mythology and some of the more well known literary premises.
Current Events: (Please note the site has been fast forwarded to April 1st)
February 14 – 15, 2029
What was supposed to be a night dedicated for love, fun and a time to celebrate was spent frantically worrying for one’s life and the threat of the upcoming war. Friday February 14th was the night of the Sweetheart’s Ball and the Grand Re-Opening of the Universe Nightclub that is under the new ownership of Mr. Teddy Lupin. All the guests looked dapper in their ball gowns, tuxedos and masquerade inspired masks as they danced, drank and mingled with one another. All signs were pointing to a fabulous night without worry and heartache, but all that soon changed.
At roughly twelve midnight the music suddenly changed as a man made is way onto the dance floor dressed from head to toe in black with a devil’s mask on. The man approached Lily Potter, the daughter of Minister Harry Potter, and her date Auror Ethan Daniels when suddenly Daniels had a curse sent at him which made him fly several feet backwards. A piercing scream echoed throughout the nightclub as Lily Potter and Lord Vladimir Gustav disappeared in a puff of smoke.
After they disappeared, all guests were interviewed and questioned for any information that they could possibly have in regards to where Gustav may have taken the young Potter. After the interviews, guests were dismissed and sent to their homes so that the Auror’s and Ministry officials could begin their investigation. Their investigation proved efficient for Monday, February 17th, Lily Potter was rescued and in the healing center in a closed ward in where only family and close friends were allowed to visit.
Doctors have said that she sustained numerous injuries and she is lucky to be alive. She has suffered broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and a minor case of hypothermia. Healers are working diligently on this case to make sure that Lily Potter regains her full health and strength as quickly as possible. With that in mind, healers have placed her in a medically induced coma to further her rest and healing process. In the lobby, we stopped to ask Ethan Daniels for an interview, but he refused to comment on the events, only stating that God was on their side during their rescue of Lily and that doctors are expecting her to make a full recovery.
Just when the little town of Green’s thought it was safe to come out at night, notorious Dhamphir Victor Reagle returns to the borough on his quest to find estranged ex-girlfriend and Veela, Constance Riverdale. According to Ministry Officials the Veela had unconfirmed knowledge that the dangerous man had followed her back to the town that was still recovering from the numerous attacks several months back. According to reliable sources a bat was seen leaving the Masquerade Ball, but Reagle has not been spotted since then. Riverdale was taken into hiding at an unknown location and could not be reached for comment.
Head Auror Ronald Weasley’s Assistant Claire Lunette (29), was brutally injured by a suspected Reaper on the front steps of the newly revamped Club Universe. The attack occurred simultaneously to the kidnapping of the Minister of Magic’s only daughter, Lily Potter. Lunette was reported engaged in conversation with the unknown female before she was attacked. Eye witness accounts stated it appeared the assailant knew the young woman and who was reportedly quoted as saying, “I'm your cousin; Bella Chimere. My parents killed your parents. Now it's my turn to kill the last Lunette!"
Lunette was slashed repeatedly with the Sectumsempra and was rushed to the Healing Center shortly after. Derek Love (32), Headmaster of Green's Academy, arrived quickly to the scene and grabbed Lunette and then swiftly apparated her to the Healing Center. While Love refused comment, eye witnesses also stated it appeared the two were in love based on his reaction to seeing her bloodied body. Lunette is reportedly in a coma, but is expected to make a full recovery.
Ministry Officials are diligently working on locating Chimere and residents are asked to contact the Ministry for any information that would lead to the capture and arrest of this dangerous woman.
History:Green’s is a unique quaint little village in Northern England that has been the subject of a full scale manhunt once before, the grounds shrouded by a very dark past. A very conniving vampire stalked these parts about 200 years ago and took the lives of hundreds of Green's residents. It is said you may happen upon the ghost of one of those long lost victims roaming through the forest. The vampire that took the lives of so many was never captured and may still be at large. It is said he likes to revisit old haunts, so he could return one day and you could be on his list.
This is just a taste of what is going on at Green's Academy, come and build a story with your character(s) and take your RPing to a whole new level. We have many job openings, and a really cool way to play Quidditch, that involves all members. We just ask that you play by the rules and have fun.
