Character/Plot Idea Dump

[Admin Sora]

I figured we need this. A lot of times we have ideas, big or small. Like actual ideas, pieces of ideas, names, traits, whatever we want! But I figured this would be just a fun way for us to share ideas that we may not plan on using so other people can use them.

• unapologetically, refuses to Anglicize for your benefit, Irish witch/wizard. a name: Aoife Brigidhe Ó Conaill
• pureblood family that would have been in disgrace except for the one kid who was overseas throughout the war thereby missing the scandal
• Madeleine Hewitt - a name
• two mums! two dads!
• the Slytherin who is terrified of snakes
• Muggleborn who wants to learn Dark magic to defend themselves from Muggles (because Muggles are terrifying sometimes, tbh)
• the one from a line of Seers who doesn't have the Sight, but loudly and obnoxiously claims they do (and all their predictions are what they want to come true) (known Seer lines include Trelawney, Vablatsky, Imago)

b-bumping for the name list, since we're getting a ton of new chars and it's a good way to make sure we don't get repeat names. C:

Character/Plot Idea:

A brother-sister sibling pair who are basically Luke and Becky Baker from Degrassi; that is, so-called “Irish twins” who start off (or were originally) close but end up suffering a major falling out. (Within the site's context, probably Purifier vs. Phoenix Rising/Order.) Bonus points if one is really happy-peppy and the other turns out to be a real—word I won't say.

Plot idea: pureblood girl has a twin brother. She and her brother are both betrothed, but also both LGBTQ+. They both agree to marry their betrothed, while really being in love with their sibling's betrothed.

Plot Idea:

Going off of the Anonymous Benefactor trope and my unnatural love for Turner Classic Movies, I would love to see a plot for a character play out like Daddy-Long-Legs.

It could possibly be a benefactor who had paid for someone's books and other school supplies, or it could be more in the vein of the benefactor's seeing that someone has potential in a certain field and providing for them to accomplish whatever that is, post-schooling. (The key here being that the beneficiary character would have to be of age and out of school now.)

Either way, the beneficiary ends up falling for the benefactor… without knowing that the person is their benefactor. And then they could live happily ever after, or stuff could really hit the fan (as it is wont to do).

Pro tip: If you're stuck naming a character, watch the end credits to a big movie (I normally choose Marvel movies). There's tons of names and sometimes you see some real gems. C:

If we ever want a fun muggle plot someday: A group of muggle 'hedge witches' (muggles who practice witchcraft) who find out magic is real and dedicate their lives to birthing magical offspring, their obsession is with magical beings who they can procreate the most powerful children with.
