Does anyone know where I can get icons of haley played by bjg from oth s.9?

[info]babeh in [info]rp_tutorials

This may have been the site I've seen the tutorial on, but I'm not sure. I know for a fact I overlooked it because I didn't think I would ever wanna use the code, but I saw it in someone's journal and I basically fell it love with it.

What I'm wondering: Is there a code somewhere that allows you to add a drop cap at the beginning of your paragraph? I found out how to do it in Word, but I'm afraid it will not copy over when I decide to paste the entry into my journal.

In advance, thank you so much for the help :)

So, I have some friends who have some lines in [info]vimods that they would like filled and so far no one has been interested, and I thought I'd ask here for them. I know they'd help me, too.

On behalf of [info]tetris, for her character [info]rockbound Nymphadora Black; Yes, Black. In the universe this particular Andromeda came from, Ted was killed by Bellatrix when the family found out she was pregnant, and Andromeda was left to raise her herself. (With much help in babysitting thanks to her cousins.) She can be whatever age you want her, although she was five when she saw her last. Ted Tonks; They had been secretly engaged, I think, when he was killed. He can be from this universe or perhaps a universe where the reverse happened? IDK, TALK TO TRICIA!

On behalf of [info]pluto, for her character [info]andwyn Theodore Selwyn; Yes, Selwyn. This is a mindfuck of a game if you haven't figured this out already. She comes from the universe where the wizarding world is part of the United Wizarding Nations, a world that's been under control of Gellert Grindewald and Albus Dumbledore since the 1910s and muggleborn children are "rescued" (kidnapped) from their families at birth and placed in magical homes. Theodore Selwyn is just Ted Tonks raised as a wizard. Nymphadora Selwyn; She'd probably like her daughter, as well.

On behalf of ME, for my character [info]tomboychef canon!Charlus Potter; Dorea is 21 and currently engaged to Charlus, although you can make him any age you want to. I just beg of you to have him old enough to be out of Hogwarts. :| They have three versions of their son running about, three versions of their sorta-adopted son running about, and three versions of their grandson running about. Not to mention a great-grandaughter and great-grandson. Anyone else from her era Seriously, why is everyone from the future?

Just generally wanted: Walburga Black; She has three versions of her eldest and two versions of her youngest son running about. You know you want in on this. Bonus points if her kids are really very young when she's from? Orion Black; See previous. canon!Regulus Black There are two AU versions of him running around, but the canon has yet to join us. No matter what age you make him, he'll be youngest by default. The other two outlived him... Remus Lupin There is one AU slot left, and it would be great if someone would make him from the same universe as [info]rockbound, [info]flowerless, [info]bespectacle, [info]buffoon, [info]wormie, [info]leonineserpant, and [info]ringingbells. His friends miss him. Plus they have a tiny ten year old Bellatrix to try to keep from becoming the Bellatrix they know and fear. So... yeah. You know you want in on this insane world. canon!Dumbledore The one that's around is still with Gellert. Enough said, right? Trio era people Because we have tons of mwpp era. And strangely very little Trio. Next Gen is sparse, too, although we do have one from Gen After Next. AU!Tom Riddle We only have the canon, a thirteen year old creepy boy. But there are two AU slots left. Personally I'd love to see someone tackle a world where he actually got adopted out of the orphanage, probably by muggles....

So, yes. Join the insanity, flist. Join the insanity.

"I APPROVE OF ALL OF THIS PIMPING! And am going to do some of my own......if you don't mind.

Only I should like to add that my Bella [info]anamazonstar would LOVE to see some canon DE's brought in as well, including TDL. Steff is dropping him in favour of picking up an AU!Rabastan so all three Riddle's are available and Bella would LOVE to have him around.

In addition to needing the canon!Regulus mentioned above, we need canon!Cissa as well to finish rounding out the canon played Blacks. Come on, who doesn't want in on the insanity that is the Black family? You know you want it. Everyone wants in on that insanity, go on ahead and give into the urge. You won't regret it."

Why is Slytherin the home of the Mean Girls and the Bullies? "Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends" doesn't always translate into "Asshole."

If I wasn't so bad at "cunning" I'd be tempted to pick up a Slytherin who isn't a blatant outright asshole.

[info]pandorarpg is still recruiting! Pandora's amped up her game and dis bitch needs to be stopped!

We'd love Gryffindors like Oliver Wood, Katie Bell, Neville Longbottom and Parvati Patil!

Give us Hufflepuffs like Susan Bones, Megan Jones, Hannah Abbott, and Wayne Hopkins.

Ravenclaws: Eddie Carmichael, Cho Chang, Luna Lovegood, Padma Patil, Mandy Brocklehurst, and more!

We need Slytherins, especially Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Millicent Bulstrode and Gregory Goyle!

But we could really used some more bad guys! Fenrir is in game and Marietta's crossed over to the dark side - let's get some more fellow servants of the Dark Lord or people who might be on Pandora's side!

See our wanted page for more!

Hey all, I'm Lis and I play Penelope Clearwater and Harry Potter over at [info]afreshmods. We're an active, friendly game set in a world where Lord Voldemort was defeated New Year's Eve 1981. The Potters survived. The Longbottoms were never tortured. Harry doesn't have his scar. The year is currently 1998.

I'm specifically looking for a couple of lines:
Dean Thomas - The rest of the 7th Gryffindor boys dorm is there. Where are you? We need you.
Percy Weasley - Penelope says you broke up under good terms. Is she lying? She seems to get along with the rest of your family. So what's the real story?

There are several other popular characters that are wanted and we would love to see there!

randomness.

More personal headcanon time!

Timeturner Tales is one of the biggest bits of headcanon I have, having referenced it to varying degrees in six different games since 2007, even having played characters cast in it in three of those games.

Beyond just the information that I have listed in the wiki, I have all sorts of other headcanon for the game: general characterizations for some of the characters, for example. Like, I would totally at some point consider making a Timeturner Tales-based RP game with general quick descriptions of the various characters, if I thought that was something other people who aren't me might be interested in. Which I honestly kinda doubt.

ANYWAY.

For some of the characters on the show, I have a lot of ~thoughts~ on what they're like. And because I have all kinds of thoughts, why not share them?

Cut for skipability. )

... totally forgot to include this earlier, but I totally picture the narrator as being voiced by Morgan Freeman. Because he is the ultimate narrator.

Because I've been doing better with memes I'll do another one.  I've seen it in multiple places so I'll credit the world!

Give me any two characters from a game I've played in, past or present, and I will tell you how much I ship them on a scale of meh to OTP.

Meme 1
Give me any two characters from a game I've played in, past or present, and I will tell you how much I ship them on a scale of meh to OTP. I will give you ALL THE FEELINGS because, well, I have a lot of feelings and I like expressing them.

Meme 2
PICK 1 OF MY RP CHARACTERS & I WILL TELL YOU

1. why I played this character.
2. my favourite moment in canon for this character.
3. my favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
4. Something about this character which makes me laugh.
5. Something about this character which makes me cry.
6. One of your characters that I think would get along well with them.

[info]zombiephile

2 memes in 1

First, stolen from everyone:

PICK 1 OF MY RP CHARACTERS & I WILL TELL YOU:

1. Why I played this character.
2. My favourite moment in (game)canon for this character.
3. My favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
4. Something about this character which makes me laugh.
5. Something about this character which makes me cry.
6. One of your characters that I think would get along well with them.


(I reserve the right to not answer #6 if you don't have a character directory at your journal, because chances are I've forgotten which of your characters I know / I've played with. Also, plz specify which version of the character, if I've played a character multiple times.)


Second, because I'm bored and I've been in a ficcy mood while I've been Sick As Hell with this Bug That Won't Go Away:

I have 1019 songs in my current iTunes playlist. Pick a number between 1 and 1019, and I'll write a fic that's in some way connected to or inspired by that song. You can request particular characters, but I reserve the right to use different characters if the muse so strikes.


For the second meme, all fics will be posted in [info]daiquiri, but I'll reply to your comment with a link to the fic when it's posted.

If you use Tumblr, you're probably going to want to bake me things, just sayin'...

Followr is a Tumblr app that allows you to perform mass updates on your following list. I proposed it to the peeps at Missing e and fyeahroleplayingrabbit, but the creators pitched hissy fits at the suggestion of making it so easy to follow and unfollow a list of people. Well, tough cookies, bitches. I'm releasing it anyway. It's really useful for role players, in particular and is such a time saver.

I'll eventually be adding some more functionality, but for right now, you can grab a list of who you follow, grab a list of who follows you, or update your following list via lists of follows and unfollows.

Enjoy! ♥

I could have sworn a while back now I stumbled across a post on here, or maybe an asylum linked to through here where people were sharing images of faces that could be related and thus work for family type lines. Have I gone completely crazy, or does such a thing exist on/through here?

This is going to sound so lame I’m sure, but can anyone show me an example of how this student personnel file is supposed to be filled out? I think it’s a fantastic idea and want to use it, but I’m feeling a tad unsure of how it’s best to fill it out.

--editing to add

I'm sorry to impose, but I guess I'm most unsure what a student number should be. Also the 'comments' section, what kind of stuff would go there? I'm not looking to copy anyone's stuff, just a helpful example or two of what this looks like filled out would be great.
