Hi! Lets get the ball rolling, shall we? Whats going to happen? Thats up for us to decide, isn't it?
So far I have discussed with Curse having the person who kidnapped the student be a serial killer. Things haven't been fleshed out totally, but we considered a possible bio for him, a crime reporter who doesn't believe he gets the press he should, so he creates crimes.
He'll need someone to play him, of course. If anyone wants to, just speak up!
So what else is floating around that you'd like to see in play? Do you have any plots you'd like to kick off? Speak!

Alongside the serial killer, there's something bigger going on that's being coordinated by Ulysses. He's got a network of people who he's friends with who help him, both good and evil. I'd really like to plot with some people to get him some 'partners in crime' or some favorite students even?
Also, if there's a serial killer, what are we going to do with it? How is the auror department dealing with it? I'd like to get Max involved somehow, anyone interested?

Hmmm when I get Harrison finished I think he could be one of his favorite students? His father could be one of his partners in crime and through that link has Harrison do things? Harrison is often controlled by his father and his expectations.
Oooh so interested in the serial killer plot. Hmmm Eden could be involved some how. Maybe she inadvertently knows something about the killer...realizes it and is ignored? I dunno really just an idea but Eden's auror status has been revoked but she's still the law enforcement department's sketch artist. what if Eden's the first person to link the killings/nappings as serial? She could try and get Max to investigate with her on their own...

Okay another idea with this plot...What if the people Eden had been working with/a captive of for the last year is in cahoots with Ulyssess...Perhaps she did some things for him....Also an idea I had was that they allowed Eden to leave them so she could inadvertently do something for them, either lead them to someone, or she is the bait or something. So they won't try to kill her or anything, not yet at least, because they gain something by letting her go back to her old life. Also I'm toying with the idea that after a while, Eden wasn't such an unwilling participant in the things she did.... this could possibly be involved with Uly

I got an idea that links Ulysses, Eden, and Alex. What if the people, like Eden said, are working with Ulysses in a way to take down the current Law Enforcement department? The people who kidnapped Eden let her go knowing she'd go back to Law Enforcement and they're planning to take down Alex? She's close with the entire Kameren family, so they're following Eden because Alex is an experienced auror and would more easily notice them than Eden? Ulysses is hiring them because Law Enforcement is one of the few branches of the Ministry he doesn't have 'friends' in.

Do you guys have any set motives planned out? I mean, why attack the Law Enforcement system? And why would the serial killer be preying on Hogwarts kids? Or does this all have to do with the Kameren family and I'm missing something?
Sketchy times + constant headache from school = not much posting. PM me if you wanna RP.

The law enforcement from what I understand, is just the deputy headmaster wanting to gain more power. If the current law enforcement department is no longer credible and is replaced then people that Ulysses' trusts or can manipulate, then he has greater power. If someone is in control of law enforcement they practically control the entire ministry, ie, plant evidence etc.
Also attacking law enforcement could just be a mental exercise...
Could also be that Ulyysses is aligning with self with people who are jealous of Alex Kameren and want to see him discredited and since he is Curses' brother he does it.
I dunno just the way I see it (i'm half a sleep while i write this waiting for a conference call to start so I am sorry if I ramble)
Also, I dunno if they actually have to follow Eden, they could use her to discredit Alex Kameren and his departments. She could unwittingly be his downfall, bring in the evidence without realizing it.

We don't have set things planned out beyond what we've put here, this thread is for coming up with those details.
The Law Enforcement thing I mentioned was just a random idea, set apart from the serial killer plot and more just me brainstorming a way to connect characters. I picked Law Enforcement to attack because there are characters there, making it easier to build up a plot with.
Not much to do with the Kameren family, just that there are Kameren characters involved.

I figure the serial killer didn't start out killing, but he wants attention, and since he is a crime reporter, decided to create crimes. Perhaps his kidnapping and murder of the student was a crime of opportunity, I don't know.
If no one minds, I'm actually becoming interested in trying to flesh him out and take him as a character.
Do you have any suggestions, Meghan? Any particular ways you want Meghan involved? I was thinking about her and Beth, perhaps Beth looks up to her as a mentor figure of some sort? With Ryan and Matt as her parents, she's got a certain lack of females in her immediate family.
As for Alex, he's ticked off at Eden at the current moment, but he'll get over it. He needs a challenge, I'm thinking, but I wouldn't want to hog the limelight.
As for Beth, I'm trying to debate if I should put any of her cousins up for adoption. Or open Harkness House again. Orphanages are fun.
As for Cain, he needs a little direction. Anyone need a intrusive, curious, chatty ghost with a penchant for mischief and handing out advice?
How we kick things off with a little mini-plot? I have an idea for an opening thread for the serial killings.
Since the Ministry has no leads in the case of the serial killer. In order for the plot to progress he's going to have to slip up. What if he tried to kidnap someone & it failed? I was thinking in Hogsmeade, maybe the serial killer attacks Meghan and she escapes/fights him off, then heads back to the school? she goes to the Headmaster to warn the school and defend it, and Curse talks to Alex and the Ministry gets involved? It seems like a mini-plot that can involve everyone and move the plot along. Curse moves to prepare the school to defend itself, and maybe the students all have to sleep in the Great Hall for a night so the professors can keep an eye on them? That could bring the students into it.
Then, since he's been sighted in Hogsmeade there could be worry that he's operating out of there, or even somewhere on the Hogwarts grounds.
Just another way to escalate what we already have.
Also: maybe a Cain/Ulysses rp sometime? Ulysses doesn't want an intrusive, chatty ghost, but maybe that's why he needs one. Maybe Curse asked Cain to keep an eye on him?

Okay, I'm giving an identity to the murdered student, so we can keep it constant:
Name: Liam Finnegan Age: 13 Birthdate/place: 7/11/2022 Deathdate: Unkown Species: wizard Gender: Male Family: Related to Seamus Finnegan, probably grandson.
Personality: Temperment/Mental Attributes- He was always a quiet boy, never particularly sociable. He was always sweet, however, and had a good heart when it came to those he cared about.
Wand- 9in, Alder, with a Hippogriff claw core. Goals/Aspirations- Liam had a particular interest in Herbology, and was often found around the Hogwarts greenhouses. He hoped to start a greenhouse of his own one day, or possibly start a wandwood orchard. Other Information- Liam stayed behind, but no one knows how long it will be before he moves on.
