For the professor applications, what are you looking for when you ask for and IC or OOC ideas or examples we might have?

Absolutely anything you think is relevant.

OOC could be an idea for a related system that might make the site better or something you want to do as staff. Perhaps you did something relevant on another site or at school or at work etc. Something that you explains why you're good for this role.

IC could be like an idea for an errand or event. Perhaps you have an unique idea that hasn't been done before but you want to share. Maybe you did something already and have past examples - here or on another rpg site - or future ideas etc.

Whatever you think is relevant to the role. We don't need to know that you want to paint your room purple but if you're applying for, say, HOH and you had an idea for the house or on an admin level that you think could be beneficial then add that.

Addendum

Creation

A Dhampir is either the child of a vampire and a muggle or the product of a failed turning of a human into a vampire. Reasons for such a failed transformation can be that the vampire was weakened considerably when attempting the turning process, that the wizard or witch being turned was too powerful, or that the turning process was interrupted at some point, preventing a full transformation.

Simple question: According to this explanation, a Dhampir cannot be a child of a vampire and a wizard. Or have I misunderstood?

Hi!
You can find more information on dhampir lore here and here.

I know @Opeila Winters, I just read them but it's still not very clear...

Ok, so after going through some approved dhampir applications- a dhampir can have a vampire and wizard/witch parent. Some others have this kind of backstory.

The wording should be vampire and a human, it has been corrected.

Ok, thanks!

No, but after 6 months you can ask for your account to be deactivated in order to create a new one. The post you reacted to is from very early times of hio, I wouldn't look at them in here to avoid confusion. Many things have changed since the beginning.

That is a very very old snippet. Rules on Deleting and deactivating accounts can be found here. Basically after 6 months you can simply make a new account and start over if you have not found your rhythm with your present character.

Please note when someone asks about deactivating and they realize it is months away and then their 'sister' or 'brother' or 'friend' joins the site sharing their IP and possibly devices, we do look at the account very closely. If you are planning on making a new account please wait out the 6 months and make a fair and conceited attempt on your present character. If someone is caught knowingly and willfully multi-accounting we would be forced to ban them and that is not something we enjoy doing.
