Wasn't Hermione the daughter of two muggles? I thought you could be magical without being born to a wizard.
Well here is the thing, you can't enter hogwarts at such an old age. You start off at 11 canonly and end at the age of 17. Thats just a given. It just doesn't sound right to start at 16 and get done with seven years of school before the age of 17.
Plus, you didn't specify that you were a Muggle-born Wizard. You just said you were a Muggle. Muggle-born Wizard would be understandable. Hermione was muggle-born, but she did have the powers of a witch. You didn't specify, so we all thought you were a Muggle who went into Hogwarts.
And one more thing, it does seem very off that there was a mail mix-up. It just seems very off that there would be a mix-up in wizarding mail. It has yet to happen, so I doubt it would happen. It just seems abit off to me.

Students get a minimum of 500 galleons/year and random bonuses.
Hello all My character alright? No huge lore holes?
"Only Connect!...Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer."
Damn right.
On the whole I don't see any particular problems with characters at this stage and I don't think now is the time to be evaluating them objectively, generally speaking you need to actually do some RP for who your character is to become apparent even to you.
As Ponti and Sirius have pointed out, my character is an homage to the Artemis Fowl series/character (naming the father Artemis was an allusion and a tip-of-the-hat to give credit where credit's due).
I don't mind critiques on my character - although for the reason above I won't be changing the name
I think you've found a nice distance from the books for Atticus, despite the connection to Snape. I also think our characters will make interesting foils to each other, based on how I'll be playing Weatherby (just can't decide if we'd be more interesting as friends or rivals )
Looks good to me as well
ummm, hy, I really like a couple of the non-descript spells, but how would you get better at those? also, is it too much lore rape to have a student really, really talented in curses?
"WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities...they will know: Helghan belongs to the Helghast." -Scholar Visari
You could spend all your points in Curses if you wish.
is my charecter ok with the mods?

Looks ok to me. Though I personally think that a student shouldn't be so high in curses, seeing as students are more balanced characters in all professions in my views...and have yet to fully tap into their true potential; especially as a first year. Just my personal opinion; I am too traditional of a harry potter fan and rper. Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against it though, but a good char for sure. Gonna be interesting to see a student with a very high proficiency with curses

Is my character okay? I know being from Eastern Europe is kind of a stretch to be going to Hogwarts..
Nothing wrong with that really. My char is from Norway. Nothing wrong with that at all.
I do find your chars background interesting though.
Besides there are known Ministry of Magics in Bulgaria, Mongolia, Pakistan, India, Iran, New Zealand, Germany, Bangladesh, Andorra and Burkina Faso. So I wouldn't be surprised to see characters of different nationalists in the UK with the future of the Ministry of Magic hanging by a thread and a need for reformation in the British Wizarding Community.

I have no idea where my char should live.I am not Familer with the Locations in Harry potter when it comes to where people live. Are they the same locations that are in Real life are also in the film or have the names changed ?.
Just want to be sure
Wizards and Witches live among the Muggle world at times. Sometimes in the big cities like London. Our out in small communities or suburbs. Just make up a good place and go from there lol. Be creative with the name and the location! Just look at the other homes for examples.

Hehe, thank you.
Very good, although I highly doubt my character would get along with him at all. It's like he is the opposite of my character in a way.Finished, for now (might make alterations later). How's my character looking, good enough or...?
Also, do we choose our own wands or wait for them to be given to us later in-game?
