For the first few months after Chapter Thirteen was created, the characters were normal. We had a pleasant charms professor, a happy Hufflepuff girl, and a quidditch playing Gryffindor boy. There was one Slytherin who seemed to have been placed in that house for no reason other than his ambition, and the biggest insult out of any of them was "I don’t like your shirt." Now, three years later, things are different.
When a seventh year Ravenclaw received a life-altering "E" on a report about the Unforgivable Curses, he decided to take matters into his own hands by practicing said curses on a crippled fifth year Gryffindor. Hogwarts' caretaker enjoys sneaking off to Hogsmeade in his free time with his protégé, a seventh year Slytherin, in order to give said student lessons in "True Magic," known to most as pain and death; said student has recently been expelled – three guesses why. This same caretaker is meeting with a sweet little seven year old girl, hoping to corrupt her while she is still young. Her mother, the dreaded History of Magic professor, is too involved with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (and her liquor stash) to take any notice.
Among our cast of characters are a deaf sixth year boy and a mute sixth year girl, both Ravenclaws; one seventh year Slytherin who seems to be heading towards prostitution; and a sixth year who is just returning from a seven month sojourn in Azkaban. We’ve got several families, an arranged marriage (two if you count, er, Jasper and Gavain, but describing that would take any semblance of sanity from me, so I won’t), some inter-house rivalry, a murder attempt that was a little too close for comfort, and a troll by the name of Trogle, who thinks of people as “stumpys”.
But a weird cast of characters is not all that Chapter Thirteen has to offer. We are an advanced Harry Potter roleplay set in the year 1296. That considered, you won't see Voldemort, Harry Potter, or any other canon characters. Instead of the usual clichéd plots, Chapter Thirteen focuses on the plots of individual and original characters, as well as some added twists every once in awhile. We have a chat room to aid with plotting and, almost without exception, someone will burst through with a “BWUAHAHAHA” sometime during a conversation, usually due to an evil idea about somehow making our characters suffer, because, as Theresa so aptly puts it, “Whoever said life had to be easy?”
Now, for those of you who are not yet interested, that is a very, very good thing. After all, who the hell would want to join a board where the members are either "clearly insane," "partially insane," or "normal only by our standards, which are not very high"? Only someone who belongs in one of those groups - which is to say, someone we would welcome with open arms.
To those of you who do think this sounds interesting, check it out! You don’t have to be weird or twisted to like our board, and you don’t have to play weird or twisted characters, or like doing weird and twisted things to said characters. What you do need is some sort of a sense of humor (if you didn’t I don’t think you’d have read this far, so no worries), some writing ability, and some level of versatility. Because no one stays the same after joining this board.
Chapter Thirteen. Come Create History.
