Roleplay Rules and Guidelines
Characters
If you wish to play a student with basic spells up to their school year, and without any special abilities, you may begin playing right away. We only ask that you make sure you are in the Hogwarts Forever group on Kitely, and to create an original character name. You should receive an automatic invitation while doing the starting quest, but if not, please contact a staff member.
Players that wish to play characters with special abilities must have roleplay experience and fill out an advanced application. Players are limited to one character with special abilities, and may not change special abilities to another character later, so please choose wisely.
If you wish to play a professor or Hogwarts staff position, please fill out the Hogwarts staff application. It is fairly short, and you will be responsible for scheduling your own classes and making them appealing to players. Professors may teach classes as often as they like, but we ask that you teach at least one class a month. It is fine to have several professors on the same subject.
If you are interested in roleplaying a wizard or Muggle adult who runs or works at a roleplay shop or business, please fill out this form so we can get you set up in-world.
Players may also play ordinary animals without an application, including cats, dogs, owls, rats, and other normal, everyday animals. We have a few avatars for animals available, but overall players are responsible for providing their own avatars.
We ask that you make original characters, as we are set a good bit beyond the time of the books in 2023. Please create a name for your character that has a unique first and last name. Also, many main characters from the books show up in our storyline as NPCs and you will be able to meet them.
Good & Bad Roleplay
The aim of roleplay at Hogwarts Forever is to create a fun experience for everyone.
This means that players need to allow all characters to shine. The best way to do this is to work together to create a scene where all characters have an important part.
There are some commonly accepted forms of bad roleplay. See the Bad RP page for more details.
Player Consent
Players have the right to consent or to refuse to roleplay the plots of other players. If you do not wish to participate, you may choose to leave the scene.
Dress Code
We are a world with child and teen avatars, so everyone in the world must be fully dressed and have all private bits covered.
If you are a student, uniforms are provided. More uniform pieces might be offered for sale. If you are a creator and wish to create and sell items, you will be provided with a free shop space. Please contact Roswenthe Blackwell for more information.
Adult wizards should wear wizard or Victorian attire, such as is seen in the Harry Potter movies.
Roleplay Style
We prefer players aim for shorter posts and attempt to include physical movement in their actions, using the set provided. Try to roleplay as if you are in a real life environment. Animations are welcome, or you can write out your character’s actions. Players do not have to wait for other players to post. Taking turns is not required.
Rating
We are a family friendly world. Any roleplay and objects of a sexual nature are prohibited on sim. There may be mild violence, similar to what is found in the Harry Potter books.
Child and Teen Avatars
Child and teen avatar skins under the age of 18 must have a permanent underwear layer affixed to the skin which hides areas of the skin. All free child and teen skins offered at Hogwarts Forever will already be appropriate and can be used immediately. Child and teen skins on the Kitely Market are also acceptable.

Appropriate Behavior
All members or visitors to Hogwarts Forever are expected to treat others with respect at all times.
Staff has the right to step into any situation and deal with it immediately. Roswenthe Blackwell has the final say on all decisions.
