Sage Canyon RP Planning Thread OOC

Also @KarrinBlue asked for a tag, so TAG

 

hi i like potions and rune-based magics
also i haven't read HP since high school. but i might contribute if any rps pop up!

i'm bad at head canons for wizard school, all of my original creations are horribly lax when it comes to schools

 

I also figure that since we're (noncanon) basically by night vale, not only are we super unregulated, but it's also hard as fuck to Come Here to regulate.

so not only is it the america system, and the west system, but it's also like, the weird conspiracy level america west system

 

it's all those western gothic posts
but like
on three different levels

 

So should we start like maybe a couple weeks into term, or?

 

Do we wanna do any kind of sorting or assigning?

 

I think we decided that sorting was a more natural thing than an assigned thing, though idk if anyone wants to change it

 

i gotta dig my character back up, and revamp them

 

huh. actually they didn't need much
other than that their family definitely fled the EXCESSIVELY RESTRICTED part of wizarding america, because FUCK THAT SHIT

 

do their parents live in the unnamed town that is definitely not Night Vale

 

yes they do.
dad runs a bookstore.
it is a weird rundown little thing, which is full of books that are a) probably not in print and b) probably very sketchy
in addition to, you know, normal books
it's probably where you gotta buy your school books from XD
the store is super cramped and mazelike and might be larger than it should be

 

I would definitely make a new character from scratch for the reboot btw.

 

I still like veela so I'll probably revamp my girl from last time.

 

Hey so are there any worldbuilding aspects we would wanna change or flesh out from last time?
(And can SCA please please please have math and languages arts classes thats what I hate most about Hogwarts)

 

yes. yes good.

we will have math, but it's called WIZARDING math on the course schedule, like all other "normal" and "helpful" classes.

I....need to read through the original thread! I personally liked most of it I think but the last time I read it was like

a year? maybe?

 

Yeah, same. I wanna make a worldbuilding masterpost but low on spoons. Was going to just quote a bunch of things but then realized that quote pinging people might be super annoying

 

tbh I was going to do the same thing, haha

like, making a quote masterpost at the end of the original plan thread, and then linking to here

 

Petition to say arithmancy contains normal math? Just make that a standard instead of an elective. Since the name already is mathemagic basically.

 

Also comparative magical and muggle literature and history because those are also important, not just STEM fields. I think Herbology can easily include, in fact probably does include biology, same as Care of Magical Creatures because plants are plants ans animals are animals, magical or not. Potion probably can include chemistry, etc.
(Hagrids approach to lessons notwithstanding, since even canon mentioned Hagrid was not a good teacher)
Physics and charms could probably be great comparative courses again, learning how the muggle version works and contrasting what magic does to fuck with it.

 

Basically I´d be a lot more in favour of adding those things into the magical classes, because frankly i hated real life school and would prefer my magic school Rp not include too much of it.
