¹ This character has a relative (parent or extended family) who currently teaches at Hogwarts. Feel free to ask the Mod who.
² This character's parentage has been established in the epilogue, or else has been heavily implied by interviews with JKR. While we do not demand that strict adherence to this take place (after all, people do get divorced, remarried, etc.), bios which show preference to canon may be taken into higher account in the event of a hold challenge.
³ This character has a sibling listed among the available player characters. If you are applying for such a character, you are encouraged to contact the other Mun to establish family dynamics.
º This character is a Muggleborn (And as such has no file in HPL or Harry Potter Wiki. They're a clean slate.)
• This character belongs to a Pureblood family (At least six generations of Purebloods marrying Purebloods).
˜ Mira Savage is unique. She is the daughter (or close relative) of the current Minister of Magic.
(P) This character is a School Prefect.

Linked characters are taken.
Bold characters have an application pending.
Italicized characters are currently under a hold.

Holds

To hold a character, just reply to this thread. Holds last for 72 hours. To extend your hold for another 24 hours, just ask. As long as you keep in touch with the Mod, he's happy to try and help you out. When you hold, feel free to also hold a PB, as well as potential parents for your character. Hold challenges are possible.

Parentage
Though it was not expressly written in Deathly Hallows, in the spirit of loss that took place at the Battle of Hogwarts, the Mod has chosen these characters (or have had them chosen by canon) to have died in the battle, or some time before.
