Stuck Between Shadows' plot

[Arye Tyler]

This plot occurs simultaneously in three eras: Tom Riddle's, Harry Potter's and James Sirius'.

In Riddle's:
The year is 1944. World War Two rages on; Diagon Alley is being rebuilt. Tom Riddle and his close group of friends (Ellie Łukasiewicz, Alfieri Cavaliere, Marius Lynch, Aster Beilschmidt, Victoria Chaplin, Delilah Dietrich and Amaranthe McDermott) are struggling to get through Hogwarts amid the flames of war. With tensions rising, betrayal seems imminent. Will they survive the Second Great War?

In Harry's:
Obviously, all of the events of Harry's sixth year are happening. There's one added problem, though: war is breaking out across Europe and America. The Eastern Coalition and the Allied Council are about to declare outright hostilities. Of course, in the middle of it all is Harry Potter.

In James' time:
A renegade group of students seek to reestablish the Deatn Eaters under the leadership of the enigmatic Slytherin sixth year, Melanie Riddle. The only problem? Melanie has no desire to be the new Dark Lord under the influence of James Potter. As James delves deeper into the recesses of Mel's murky past, he learns more of Hogwarts' dark secrets as well. Will everyone make it out in one piece?

I really love this! I am very interested in how the Trio Era is going to go... And Riddle with his friends... And James... I could see a possible romance between James and Melanie, and a really cool plot forming there... I would be very interested in taking a few of the canons, and I have a few more OC's I've saved from when Skits, James and I compiled lists of OC's we've created over the years, including a couple you have yet to see. *evil smile* I really like this. I can't wait to have enough time and get that place going!

[Emilia Lianne Auditore]

Here's a list of available canons made up for the site!

Tom's Era
Amaranthe McDermott:
Oddly enough, a Gryffindor. Amaranthe, or Mara, is a North Irish beauty whose father has recently died in the War. She is bold, outspoken and highly opinionated. Quick to anger and slow to calm, she got into a fight with a fellow Gryffindor when they were bullying Tom early in their first year. The two became fast friends. She's engaged to Alfieri Cavaliere.

Alfieri Cavaliere:
A Slytherin, elder brother to third-year Slytherin Giovanni Cavaliere. A classically handsome Italian who is heavily involved with the Italian war effort. Alfieri is cheerful and friendly to those he likes, vicious and harsh to those he dislikes, and a drinker above all else. He loves a good brawl and sat with Tom at the Feast in their first year. He's enagaged to Amaranthe.

Marius Lynch:
Another Slytherin. Though outwardly high-strung and serious, he's an incorrigible prankster at heart. Inwardly cool and calculating Marius sat with Alfieri and Tom at the Feast in their first year. He will one day be an infamous master thief. He's courting Vicky Chaplin (taken by 'Liese/Tati).

Aster Beilschmidt:
A Ravenclaw, one of two in the group. Aster is quiet and bookish but brutally strong with a mean right hook. His father is heavily involved with the magical government of Nazi Germany; Aster struck up a close friendship with Ellie Łukasiewicz (a Polish Jewess) and Tom Riddle during their first train ride to Hogwarts and possesses a rapier wit that couple with a decidedly dry and morbid sense of humor. He fancies Delilah Dietrich.

Delilah Dietrich:
The other Ravenclaw and a half-blood, usually called Lila. She is extremely intelligent, sarcastic and outspoken and engages in many good-natured arguments with Amaranthe. Lila possesses an uncanny ability to read everyone but herself, which prompted her to develop a friendship with Tom. Her muggle father was a pilot in the Luftwaffe until his recent death. She's clueless about her feelings for Aster.

James' Era
Melanie Riddle
The great-granddaughter nobody ever knew Voldemort had, result of him having children with Ellie. Melanie is a shy fourth-year Slytherin James Potter took under his wing during her first year and secretly has a massive crush on. She reciprocates this crush, not that either of them is aware. Melanie is highly-intelligent and ambitious, but not necessarily in a bad way. Attempts to revive the Death Eaters focus around Melanie.

Jackson Kirkpatrick
Jackson is the grandson of a former Death Eater, now imprisoned in Azkaban, and the head of the movement that seeks to revive the Death Eaters. He pursues Melanie Riddle relentlessly and despises James Potter. Ambitious, cunning and dangerous, Jackson seeks to establish Melanie as the Dark Lady through any means necessary.

I'll update this as canons are finalized! I'm glad that you're interested in taking on canons! And James has a crush on Melanie (who lives in an orphanage and was taken under the Potters'-Weasleys' wing when they realized her relation to Tom; they're hoping to prevent her turning out like her great-grandfather) that she doesn't realize. The two are best friends, even though Mel's a Slytherin.

I like the ideas too. I might get either Tom Riddle in his era or James Potter, again, in his era. If available, sure. Not sure who I would choose from Harry's era, possibly Hermione Granger. I liked her as a character. LOL. As I understood each era is independent for play from each other, so picking a character in each era basically means telling three different stories. It's like three sites in one, right?

[Arye Tyler]

That's the premise. Obviously, the three plots are interconnected (several characters that are instrumental to the Harry Potter era are introduced in Tom's; Tom and Ellie's failed romance explains Mel's origins, etc.), but they operate separately.

I loved Hermione. XD There are plenty of canons to take, rest assured. Haha. I'll be posting up the info for Mel and the wannabe Death Eaters a little later, for the James Era plot.

[Marcus Lorenzo Trovatelli]

I'll most certainly pick up someone there or one from each era maybe. I like playing canons too, I don't mind if they are universe based ones or board based ones. Rarely I have made a character completely out of my mind, I always look in the needed section first. I guess I like to be helpful and let the creativity go to second plan or go into the picked character. LOL. That's how I've got Marcus here, for example. LOL.

I'm actually intrigued by the possibility of playing a young Riddle or even Dumbledore as a teacher in the first era. Either would be a fun endeavor, I think. I'll see how things develop and I've registered in the site with my webname already. I'll see what I can do to help you tomorrow as I still wish to finish the posts I owe tonight. Let's see if I can do that.

[Redd]

Yeah, I assumed the same as Marbys had with the three eras not in one I am quite interested in a few of the canons... But I can't take a whole bunch or I won't be able to keep up with them Anyways, I was thinking that perhaps I could probably take Mara or Al in Tom's Era. I would probably take Harry if his muse returns soon to me (He's being really ornery and doesn't want to work for me, so I might not), if not then I'd probably take someone else, and probably I will take someone else anyways. And for Post I might take up Lily, or maybe Al, or Lorcan/Lysander (idk which yet), Teddy, and depending on Mel's personality, perhaps even her, if I think that I could actually play her...

[Arye Tyler]

I've taken Ellie and I'll probably play Lila in Tom's Era. Not sure about the others, lol. As for Mel, she's an unusual Slytherin. Mel is very shy and sensitive, but she is Voldemort's great-granddaughter. Like him, she's very charismatic on the off-change that she speaks and can be very manipulative where it suits her. Mel is very intelligent and cunning but often channels this into harmless pranks. Like Tom, she is a Parseltongue. Mel is extremely talented in Potions and Transfiguration.
