Welcome to Salem!
NEWS: 28 March 2013

We closed for a couple of hours in order to bring you a shiny site full of new graphics and prettier colors! Wooo! We've also updated the plot, and we're welcoming former Death Eaters into our characters. They won't stay free forever, so claim them while you can!

NEWS: 29 December 2012

Well, with the damp squib that was the Mayan "apocalypse" and the glittering mid-winter festival season out of the way, we should see activity perk back up here at SI. Between family events and shiny new gifts that need playing with over the holidays, everyone's been a bit distracted. The new year will see some amazing new plots, and the introduction of some new allies for the Tarot, and some new enemies for them too!

NEWS: November 2012

SALEM TUMBLR

Salem Institute is now on Tumblr! We'll post graphics and ads for the site there, and maybe do a teensy bit of recruiting too. Follow us if you're on Tumblr!



Quick Start

QUICK LOG-IN:


Welcome to Salem! We are a literate, intermediate to advanced board set after the Wizarding War against Voldemort, located in North America. There is no wordcount, all we ask is that you strive for at least two paragraphs per post.

The current year is 2013, current season is Spring, and we follow what was canonically established in the Harry Potter books, while adding and embellishing the information J.K. Rowling has provided.

Please be warned, this site contains possible spoilers for all seven Harry Potter books (and the three supplementary books Quidditch Through The Ages, Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them, and The Tales Of Beedle The Bard), and may contain spoilers for Pottermore. If you don't wish to be spoiled, we recommend you read the books, and register on Pottermore ASAP!

Please register with your character's full name, with proper capitalisation. Only staff can change your registered name after the fact, so it's easier to register properly straight off the bat.

( EXPECTO PATRONUM! ) : I ONCE LOVED AND LOST, AND WILL FOREVER CHERISH THE MEMORY OF HER SHINING FACE AS I LOOKED UP TO HER IN A FIELD OF WHITE FLOWERS. "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU," SHE WHISPERED. THEY WERE LOVING WORDS THAT MY MOTHER ONCE SAID TO ME.

ECCENTRIC - COHERENT IN THE WAY SHE DRESSES AND OBVIOUS IN THE WAY SHE CARRIES HERSELF, IN A NUTSHELL, JULES IS WEIRD.
LOYAL - A PERSONAL TRAIT THAT SHE TAKES PRIDE IN - THE RELATIONSHIPS SHE BUILDS MEAN THE WORLD TO HER, AS SHE DOESN'T HESITATE TO OPEN UP AND LET PEOPLE IN. ONCE A FRIEND, ALWAYS A FRIEND, GRANTED YOU DON'T SCREW THINGS UP.
ASIAN - POLITICALLY INCORRECT, SHE IS HALF ASIAN AND HALF WITCH IN WHICH HER ASIAN SIDE DOES EXUDE SOME COMMON RIGHT-WINGED STEREOTYPES.

( PARENTS ) : DARLENE JANE LIN (63) - MOTHER
( SIBLINGS ) : NONE
( OTHERS ) : NONE
( HISTORY ) :Jules Alyx Lin WAS BORN TO ONE Darlene Jane Lin, A SINGLE MOTHER AND DEVOUT CATHOLIC WHO ONCE TOOK PRIDE IN HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. AT A YOUNG AGE, Jules EXCELLED IN TALENTS CHILDREN MUCH OLDER THAN HER WERE BARELY TRYING TO MASTER. SHE WAS A GIFTED CHILD, BOTH SYMBOLICALLY AND LITERALLY. HER ABILITIES WERE ONES THAT Darlene COULD NOT EXPLAIN AND YET TOOK PRIDE IN WHEN Jules COULD RECALL INGREDIENTS TO A SIMPLE BREAD RECIPE. BUT Darlene QUICKLY SLAPPED A RULER OVER HER KNUCKLES WHEN Jules WOULD THROW IN A TOE OF A RAT OR SOME SCORPION VENOM.

"That's a diabolical way to play, Jules. I forbid it!" HER MOTHER WOULD YELL. Jules SHIED AWAY FROM HER GIFTS, MAINLY OUT OF FEAR, UNTIL ONE DAY, TWO STRANGE RETRO-FITTED MEN, Professor Fargo AND Professor Zhang, IS WHAT THEY CALLED THEMSELVES. THEY SAID THAT THEY'VE BEEN WATCHING Jules PROGRESS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL AND EXTENDED AN INVITE FOR HER TO ATTEND THEIR HIGHLY PRESTIGIOUS PRIVATE INSTITUTE - The Lemuria Institute for the Gifted.

IT WAS THERE THAT Jules LEARNED TO ACCEPT HER GIFTS AS SHE EXCELLED AND EXCELLED IN ALCHEMY. STUDYING ALONGSIDE Professor Zhang, SHE WAS NO LONGER AFRAID OF WHAT SHE WAS - A WITCH. UPON GRADUATION Jules SHOWED HER MOTHER, THE TENDERNESS AND MIRACULOUS THINGS THAT SHE HAD LEARNED, WHAT Jules COULD HAVE NEVER FORESEEN THOUGH, WAS JUST HOW MUCH SHE'D HORRIFIED HER MOTHER.

QUOTE
She gasped and stepped out from under the shadow of the tree, completely caught off guard by the guy now standing in front of her. Although guy wasn't exactly the word to describe him. Thick lustrous hair framing that strong chiseled face, a postured back dressed in a slick suit. That cold blue stare looking at her as if he wanted to devour her whole. This one was no ordinary guy. This guy was all male. And when he opened those luscious lips of his to speak, Bishop could only do so much not to stare.

His voice was like a winter wind in this humid East Coast summer. The lull of it traveling up her back like a chill, making the gooseflesh rise up on her skin. She would've never thought twice that that chill was more of a warning. She pushed all thoughts of suspicious circumstance of this moment away from her, too mesmerized by what this man was saying to her. She raised her chin defiantly in what she knew not to be threatening at all. "Creature?" she smirked at him daringly. [color=cornflowerblue]"All men are animals.”

"You actually believe that I'd be that naive and risk my neck out here in the woods without some sort of... protection?" Her mind went to her wand that was pocketed at the small of her back. Bishop thought of the spell that would shoot up red sparks into the night sky to signal distress and she repeated the Latin words over and over in her mind... but she wasn't reaching for her wand just yet. "That I would easily fall prey to a creepy sexually depraved man like you?" Bishop was provoking him, she knew. In retrospect, this was probably a bad idea but if it was a game he wanted to play... then Bishop was going to play hard to get.

fill it out completely or you'll get nowhere. if you're a canon,
make sure to check your facts. if you're an original, then, well,
go crazy, yo. specifics are nice, but no two-page long histories.

all, what roleplaying is really all about in the long run. <3
