We've had an absolutely massive weekend over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
road_ahead. A benefit dance, and almost all of the played characters joined in. There were 802 comments when I last looked, and it's still going! Both of my girls had a great time, chatting and dancing and such, and Muriel has decided that cheeky George certainly brings out the worst in her.
While we were in a big group chat, the subject of older characters, and how we'd love to see more of them, came up. This is a character-based game that doesn't centre around Hogwarts, so there's no reason at all why older characters wouldn't have just as much to do as younger ones. As I said in chat - I'd take them all on, but then I'd have to play with myself, which really is no fun (in RP >.>)
I've taken this pretty much wholesale from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inell, so thanks to her for being so well-worded and thorough.
General overview of RA:
The game is set post-DH (it's now March 1999 in-game, and it's nearing the year anniversary of the Battle at Hogwarts) and the students in Harry's years have just received their NEWTs scores. It's a period of transition for a lot of the characters, regardless of age. Students have finished school and are figuring out their future (careers, housing, what to do now that they're teetering on the edge of adulthood), and adults are gaining new co-workers and neighbors. The world is still dealing with the rebuilding after a war. Instead of homes and businesses, they're working on tolerance and acceptance, education and commerce. There are those who still object and easily believe anything the Prophet says, which Dolores Umbridge takes advantage of as she tries to stir up dislike towards Minister Shacklebolt and his Ministry. There are those who support change and are campaigning for a better world, who support Fleur Weasley's Association for Magical Equality and Diversity. Then there are those who are in-between who are forming opinions and finding their place in a post-war world. Voldemort might have died ten months ago, but the world is still recovering and growing as people keep moving forward.
We have older characters available atroad_ahead that our cast would love to see played. In the chat this weekend, and the excitement at the prospect of casting these people was just fantastic. In this game, age means nothing. The focus is on characterization and interaction, so you can be 15 or 115 and still have things to develop and play and enjoy.

( Tempted and want to know more? )
