Welcome to The Sanctuary! This is a role-playing community based on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" book series. Fans can now create their own characters and interact with the world of Hogwarts!
There are, of course, a few simple rules:
* Only the STs (Storytellers) will play canon characters. As much as I know people love to play characters from the books, we want to stray from that. We wanted to give people the ability to make up their own characters to play.
* Good character backgrounds are a MUST. Common sense is loved. We don't want to see a character who's Harry's long-lost cousin or something. We will laugh at you. A lot.
* You do not need to have a character-specific LJ (LiveJournal) to join. It's fun, of course, but not obligatory.
* You make up everything for your character. DON'T BE A TWINK. You character cannot be greater than Voldemort, Dumbledore, or anything. He or she could be meaner than Malfoy or the Dursleys, but that might not get you friends.
* The setting of the game is during the third book, Prisoner of Azkaban. Please keep that in mind when developing your character.
* Our method of play will be either through AOL Instant Messenger, LJ itself, or email if necessary. The AIM part is good for interactive, quick role-playing, whilst the LJ is good for the drawn-out, lengthier style. Feel free to use whichever method you prefer in order to immerse yourself in the game. Yahoo.com is a good place for free email, and you can pick up AIM from AOL.
* Check this website periodically - eventually it will contain character bios, contact information so players can interact with each other outside of LJ, and many other fun things to make the game better.
Any other questions, please ask!
Your humble ST,
