Protego Totalum is an Alternate Universe Harry Potter canon only roleplay site which focuses on what would have happened if Voldemort had died before the prophecy was even made, and how the marauders would have raised their kids, and how the lives of the trio would be with no war looming over them. Would they still be friends? Will they still be sorted into the same houses? Will old fueds remain the same or will they become friends this time ?

The activity check has been completed and a new Decree has been posted. Check it out in this thread. 01/07/96
Ministry has decided to bring back the tradition of EXCHANGE PROGRAM in hopes of renewing friendship between the three great schools of Europe.
The exchange program would be conducted between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Durmstrang Institute.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would play as the host for the first time, and would accomodate the students from the other schools throughout the school year. Activity Check
Since the staff team has been away for a long time and the site has gone inactive for quite some time, we have decided to hold an activity check so as to purge the site of inactive characters ....
The last date for it is this weekend i.e, 25th of April ... Please post in the site thread to let the staff know that you would remain on site as a member...
If you fail to post in the thread, then it will be considered that you wish to not be a member and you're characters will be deleted, and your posts will be archived

site rules
ahh, the rules ! we know that they annoy you, but they're necessary to run a good site, so you're just going to have to get through it, okay? we'll hold your hand, we promise it won't be too bad.
love us,love yourselves
Remember when mom and dad sat you down and told you the golden rule? well that applies here too. we're not going to sit you down and pound this into your head, because it should already be there. basically, here at Protego Totalum, we expect you to behave in a respectful manner. by registering at our site, that means that you've agreed to behave respectfully towards the admins and the other members.
We absolutely love, drama, who doesn’t ?! but let's save it for our characters, shall we? there will be no bashing of other people, or their characters, when you're out of character. and no, you can't have your character say something to bash someone on the board either. say please and thank you, hold doors open, and smile when someone says something nice.
Please do not harass other members. what is considered harassment? well of course, any harassment concerning someone's sexual orientation, race, personality, etc. And we're also talking about plotting. We understand that you want to get your characters going. but people have lives, okay? if someone doesn't respond to you when you ask them something, please do not ask again. we all have busy lives and rping is just something extra and fun and creative, so we don't need to be harassed about our characters, etc.
As for the discord, the same rules apply. if we see a fight, you will be banned from the discord without a warning. please remember that the discord is for out of character chatting, and we hope that you take advantage of it because it’s the best way to get to know those that you’re rping with.
If you ever feel uncomfortable, please pm an admin. you will remain completely anonymous, we promise, but we need to know what's going on.
The moral of the story is that you will not be warned before being banned if the rule that you’re breaking has to do with respect. as for posting, and spamming, we all make mistakes, so we’re going to use the three strikes rules, and then you’ll be banned. that seems, fair, right?
dress us up, dress us down
now the fun stuff -- your characters !!! here's the good news: you can have as many as you want, as long as they all stay active. yes, all of them. please don't make six characters if you don't intend to plot with them.
we expect that you can get one post up at least every month, unless of course you’ve posted in the absence forum and you won’t be on. We don't want a bunch of characters created and no posts.
Also, let's be realistic. this is a Harry Potter site, and not a fantasy site, so we need to keep it that way. that means that you have to stick to the Potterverse, which means that no one has wings or horns. also, please make sure that you're making a character that's not going to scare the admins and the other members. we don't scare easy, but we will be freaked out if your character is into bestiality, necrophilia (for those of you who don’t know, that means don’t make a character who is into animals, dead people etc) it is gross, and it’s against the wizarding law, so we’re not going to stand for it, alright?
Don't make someone that's not going to fit in AT ALL on our board. we're all for diversity and whatnot, but if your character is someone who has no chance of making friends here, because they're a giant creep with no likable things about them, you might not want to make them.
We are A CANON ONLY site, which means that all the characters which are going to be made, must be from the families listed in the site canon list. NO ORIGINAL FAMILIES OR CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED. Our canon families list is quite vast and has inclusions of families from different countries and a separate list for the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students which would be made.
Also, for character ratios, let's keep it even, okay? so what does that mean? for every two girls that you have, you must have a boy and vice versa. it's pretty simple, right? we don't want a bunch of girls running around with no guys or guys running around with no pretty ladies!
As for pregnancy, etc, we feel that since they're your character you can do what you want with them. but we'll step in and say something if every single girl on the board is getting pregnant/has a kid, because that's not reality. as for killing a character, pm an admin first.
For pbs, we accept Celebrity life faces only.
Dazzle Us
This is the 'everything else' section of the rules. pretty fun, right? you're almost done!! okay, little things. to start, you must be over thirteen to be a member here. those are Proboards's rules, and we will not accept you if you are not of the appropriate age. no exceptions, sorry.
As for swearing, we're all for it, we don't mind, but don't curse like there's no tomorrow. no one swears every other word, and we don't like it.
No spamming. that one's simple. if you spam, you're banned, that's it.
Also, we're a literate site. that means that if you can't post at least 150 words per post, then this isn't the right site for you. if you break this rule repeatedly, you will be pmed, no big deal, don't worry.
The biggest rule here is to have fun! be creative, adore your characters, your fellow members and your admins, and have a good time! we're super excited that you're here, this is going to be a blast!!!

registration
We prefer it if your username with which you register is nearly identical to your character which would make it easier for others to tag.
Please create new accounts for each of your characters and change the forum name to the FIRST MIDDLE LAST NAME before you submit your application for sorting.
Post your character application in the Registration department, using our template provided within the board.
You will have 2 weeks to complete your app before it will be deemed as inactive and moved to the archives. Don't worry we can pull it out for you if you want it back. Just ask Vee.
Though we do not have a limit on how many characters you can have, we only allow 1/3rd of them to be main canons like the Potter, Black, Weasley, Malfoy and Longbottom. This is to ensure everyone has the chance of taking a canon role.
DO NOT PESTER THE ADMIN TO LOOK AFTER YOUR APPLICATIONS. The Admin has a life outside of the site and she lives in a different timezone, so may not be available online at your time. Please do not pester to sort your application. If forty-eight hours have passed since you have posted in the discord sorting hat channel and if none have responded, then you may send a PM to the administrator to remind of it. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in a hold for twenty-four hours being placed on said application before it will be sorted.
character rules
When your application is accepted, all the information in the application is final. The appearance and personality of a character may change over time, but character and family history is to remain the same. If there is a part of the application which includes the name, age, or character and family history, it is to be brought to Admin Vee before any changes are made. If it is a large enough change, then Admin has the right to request a new application and the character will be unsorted until the new information is accepted.
This site is strictly a Harry Potter site, so that means no cross-overs. You can base your character on the appearance of a celebrity, but naming your character after a celebrity is prohibited. In order to keep confusion about celebrity claims at bay, please refrain from mentioning movies, television shows, musicians, bands and celebrities.
All character deaths must be discussed with an administrator. Though we know about the plots which take place on the site, it is impossible for them to know about every single plot that happens. Most plots do not need direct administration involvement or attention, but there are certain things we simply must know about, as they affect the entire site. These events include character murders, abductions and any new death eater recruitment. We require that any of these major actions be run by the administration before they can be committed on the site.
If you are creating a major Canon character then please drop a PM to Vee. We insist on this because, there would be some canon information in regards to that character and we would like to inform them to you before you start working on their applications. If you do not, then we will be sending out a PM to you, and you will have to change the application accordingly.
A member cannot play two characters' who have a direct relationship. That is to say, you cannot play as both Lucius and Draco, or Ginny and Ronald or Narcissa and Andromeda. But you may however play cousins and the likes of it. This is to ensure that the canons are played by various people and not between a handful members.
We do not accept characters under the age of 5 years old. .
posting
We do have templates in our posts but please make sure that they don't have hovers over the actual post text.
All role play posts are to be in third person, past tense. The only exception to this rule is when they send personal messages to other characters.
There is to be no godmodding. This means that you cannot control another character's actions, thoughts, feelings, dialogue, etc. Only the character creator has the right to express his/her characters reply.
A big no to double posting within the same thread. You must wait until another person has posted before you can post again. If you need to edit your post, you may do so, but keep in mind that you cannot edit your post simply because you don't like a member's character's response.
Basic understanding of spelling, grammar and punctuation is expected on this site. We do not require perfect grammar and punctuation, but an understanding of literature is expected.
Please refrain from using chat language while posting like tq,kk, brb,lmao.. These are a STRICT NO.
Each character is to post from their own account, even within the same thread it is required to switch to the correct character to post.
We request that all your posts be posted through your member profile account.
Development boards are used to help muse together and better the role playing experience.
activity
If you are going to be inactive for any amount of time, please inform us before hand in the absences channel on discord. This is to ensure your characters aren't moved into the "inactive" member group and aren't deleted due to any dry spells in your posts.
Any absences that aren't booked may result in just that, you may lose your character if they become inactive and will be put back on the lists for someone else to take that character in the future.
You can lose your character's positions due to inactivity. Those who take on positions of leadership in careers or organizations must be active in these roles. We do not want a headmistress, director of the hospital or a head auror to be inactive, as they are always a major part in the site plot. If you have not made an in-character post with this character in over a month, another member has the right to contact Admin in relation to applying for the position.
Activity checks are held every month, in order to purge the site of inactive characters. The staff will be checking the activity in the background, and we will be sending out notifications on discord for the activity check, so fret not.
Who have not posted in the last month will be receiving a personal message and they will be on the "inactive" group for the next month.
Those members on the inactive list will not be allowed to create new characters. They will be removed from the list if they are seen to be posting by the next activity check.
