Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

Chester Tate; Unconventional Slytherin
Topic Started: Jul 30 2009, 12:13:34 PM (328 Views)
Chester Tate
Member Avatar
Sixth Year

Full name: Chester Aleksander Tate
Nickname(s): Chess, Chessie, Tate
Gender: Male
Birth date: January 28
Age: 16
Year: Sixth
Blood: Pure blood
Wand: 11 inches, rowan wood (pliable) with a core of Siren scales.
House: Slytherin

Appearance:

Height: Six foot two
Eyes: Slightly narrowed and heavy lids Chester always seems to be daydreaming. The irises of his eyes are a light brown which can seem to appear golden in the correct light.
Hair: The color of his hair seems to become increasingly more difficult to identify with each passing year, the reason being of course being that he's a metamorphmagus. Each and every year he seems to gain more and more outlandish hairstyles with even more outlandish colors. His typical and favorite hair color however is a bright shade of blue, most closely identified as aquamarine by his peers. To him the style of the hair is not as important as its color so when he is sporting his favorite hue he tends to let it fall as will just so long as he is able to push the bangs from his eyes.

Physical Description:
Chester is rather lean and doesn't much care for it; his philosophy is if he is at least strong enough strength to carry his textbooks he not particularly worried about what others might think. And if he does not possess that ability then he will simply use some sort of hover charm to aid him. His skin is lightly tanned, most likely from basking in the sun on warm days by the lake, often times he is asked if it is an "all over" tan. He assumes they mean from the waist up, so he will often reply that it is which in turns sends those that put the question forward off giggling like maniacs.

His face is oval in nature with high cheekbones. His chin is slightly rounded and his lips are thin. He does not posses freckles, scars, or anything of the like that would distinguish him in a crowd. His ears are often hidden by his long hair, but if one were to push his hair back they would find them to be of normal size. All in all Chester is extremely normal looking, well except for the aforementioned hair.

When not in his school robes Chester's greatest joy is to wear v-neck shirts with jeans. However, if the weather does not permit his favorite fashion combination and it is too warm he will wear graphic print shirts with plaid shorts. On extremely rare occasions, when it is say snowing or hailing balls of ice the size of golf balls, he will opt to wear long sleeved shirts or sweaters. The shoe of choice for Chester are high top sneakers with short socks, he finds that if he wears long socks they look slightly funky sticking up out of his high tops.

Personality:
Chester is not what you would exactly call a "normal" Slytherin. While he does have the preferred blood status and the ambition which usually characterize most Slytherin, he answers to a different moral code. He believes in obtaining that which you seek through honest means, and is generally a pleasant person to be around. His beliefs and general attitude often lead him to confrontation with other members of Slytherin. Chester, however, has never resulted to dueling as he finds that the term "blood traitor" fits him perfectly. He has no prejudices; in his mind every life is equal whether it is muggleborn, half-blood, elf, centaur, and etcetera. Every life matters, end of story.

Consequently many find Chester extremely pleasant to be around, though he is by no means popular. He is easily compared to the nice boy that everyone knows and many like, but they don't necessarily call him their friend.

Above all else Chester finds animals absolutely fascinating. His favorite subject in his studies is his Care for magical creatures class. Many of his fellows have expressed an extreme dislike of the subject and have whispered to one another of dropping the class after their O.W.L.s, they have often asked Chester if he will drop with them and they are always met with the same firm 'no'. He tells them that ever since he was small he has always expressed interest in studying animals. In turn his parents are aware of his love of animals and have tried to surround him with every available book about the caring of magical creatures, their behavior, geographic location, and breeding habits. They often then regurgitate their excuses of how he won't have any familiar faces in the class with him, but these don't tend to faze him. Why should he have to give up something he loves simply because of peer pressure?

History:
Chester was born to Heloise and Dennis Tate who had installed in him since birth that in society everyone was equal, much to his elitist grandparent's disgust. As such his grandparents have disinherited Heloise for marrying into the blood traitor Tate line. She doesn't care as long as she has her husband and son.

Dennis, like his son, is a metamorphmagi. While he attended Hogwarts he was known for being extremely prank orientated. He would often change his appearance to evade capture, one day he might be Billy Twofold the tall blonde first year who would forget the password nearly every night, and the next he might Adelaide Morse the piggish nose third year who had just been off to the bathroom. He would often times try to impress Heloise through such feats, but she would merely call him a two-faced liar and walk off in huff back to the Slytherin common rooms.

It was not until after they left Hogwarts that they fell in love.

Both were enacting an old wizarding tradition of traveling abroad before settling down, unfortunately neither could find a partner to travel with. So it was through an unlikely truce that both of them began to travel together, first through Germany, then through the orient and the occident until finally they came back to the United Kingdom. All in all Chester likes to refer to the story as "The cliché adventures" as it was the same old story of a stupid boy getting close to a smart girl over a period of time and falling in love.

Family: Just his mother, father, and a smattering of miscellaneous aunts and uncles. His mother and father are the main influence in his life and he has inherited their ideals of equality. He receives little if any contact from his mother's side of the family as they are still furious that his mother had married into a blood traitor line, as such Heloise is as good as dead to them. At one point he thought his mother's family cruel, but now he sees that they are quite disillusioned as to the events in the world. They fail to realize that whether they like it or not the "truly" pure bloodline gene pool is becoming excessively shallow, especially with more and more lines being seen as blood traitors. Really he pities them.

Chester is much fonder of his father's family. They are an extremely tolerant group of people than enjoy a good laugh. His grandparents are particularly proud of Chester and the progress he is making towards his goals. As such they tend to send him photos of creatures they have witnessed in their travels. His favorite pastime is to take these pictures and put them into a scrapbook so that he can study them further and then scribble down his notes about them such as identifying morphological features and geographic location so that he can then come back to them at a later time to research.

Pet(s): The only pet that is truly his is pet Augerey, otherwise known as an Irish Phoenix. Although Augerey are not the typical companion to wizards Chester finds them absolutely fascinating. Their behavior is particularly interesting in that they will only leave their nests when it rains.

On his twelth birthday his parents presented him with an augurey egg, it was his task to successfully hatch and care for the creature without the use of magic if he were to keep it. If his parents found even the slightest trace of magic they would take the hatchling from him and give it away, this may have seemed harsh, but in fact his parents were furthering his potential career in the field for magical creature care and conservation. He completed the task completely without the use of magic and named the hatchling Anwell; with its origin meaning "the beloved dear one" he couldn't see anything better for her. Since then she has been a regular sight in the skies above Hogwarts on rainy days. Her presence is especially welcomed by the Herbology students as Anwell's cry always signals the coming of rain, allowing them to collect certain herbs that only appear during the rain.

Possessions: Pictures of his mother, father, and grandparents and his scrapbook of exotic creatures. Other than that he has the normal school supplies and the like.
