Summer 2022
A dreary dawn gave way to a gloomy morning. The first match of the day was between Hogwarts and a pair of schools - Durmstrang and Koldovstoretz. Koldovstoretz was slated to face off against the champion house the summer of 2022, however they were still reeling from losses. An act of terror a year ago had slain a sizable portion of their student population. It left them with but a handful of quidditch players and they had to partner with the other schools to fill their ranks. They were still feeling the effect of this loss, their limited numbers and the bloody legacy of hate. Yet they needed to tarry on. Today they were going to have their long-awaited match but they would not be doing it alone. They did not have the numbers necessary to play against a full team, they would need to be supplemented by something or rather someone.Date: August 6, 2022
Time: 0900
Location: Quidditch Stadium
Enter Durmstrang. Long-term rivals, prior to Hogwarts victory in the summer of 2020 Durmstrang had a streak of uncontested victories in the international front on the Quidditch Pitch. It was a world-wide upset, one where Durmstrang returned home in shame. Since then Durmstrang has suffered this painful need to prove themselves on the pitch. This was their opportunity to do so and there was no force besides the Department of Magical Games and Sports that would stop Durmstrang from facing off against Hogwarts once again and this time taking the victory.
Three hours had been set aside for this display. Durmstrang fans claimed that they 'only needed three minutes' but that was -probably- all bluster.
Students and staff from all of the schools were in the stands awaiting the start of this first match between rivals. The game promised to be one of the most exciting games this season. There was a slight drizzle, a welcome respite from the oppressive heat and humidity that left the amp-goers swimming in their own sweat these past several days. The umbrella charm kept some dry while others carried with them brightly colored umbrellas, those with true school spirit had written on the canopy in paint or ink the name of their alma mater or preferred victor. Go Durmstrang, Hogwarts GOATS (whatever that means, there was no livestock here), Koldovstoretz Kings, among other sayings cheered their team on.
It was supposed to be a cool, rainy day with thundershowers and high winds in the afternoon. Hardly pleasant for the players who now leaving their lockers would feel the cool pattering rain on their backs, making their broomshafts slick. This was going to be a difficult game. Not only had both of these teams, even if one was Frankenstein's creation, been training all year for this moment and the weather was not holding out for them. They would be playing in stormy weather, one could only hope that lightning would not strike.
The quidditch players would each take their inaugural lap around the perimeter of the pitch. The cheering crowd would encourage the quidditch players and there was a medical team on standby. It was rather likely that both teams would be out for blood and bone, so someone would need to set those fractures and mend those wounds. First would be Hogwarts followed by the combined team of Koldovstoretz and Durmstrang. There were no lightshows, the pyrotechnics would not work in the rain. There were however... bubbles? Yes, apparently there were bubbles being blown by some (many) of the spectators. These soapy bubbles were 'tougher' and 'thicker' than the conventional muggle bubbles that most of these wizards were unfamiliar with. The rain had minimal effect on these ephemeral spheres that bobbed and danced in the air harmlessly.
"Have a good game guys," the referee announced. The announcer this morning was Lazarus Plott (godmodded by the moderator of this thread), the Headmaster of Ilvermorny. There was something off about this flamboyant academic leader, he had taken a leave of absence from his school the months that followed Solomon Lear's disappearance. He had a strange interest in matters to do with Hogwarts but the present impression of the middle-aged wizard was that he had 'moved on.' Competitive, they made an entrance at the Blossom Ball where they capsized several rowboats on the Black Lake in an ill-timed arrival. Yes, an alleged 'mistake.' what they did not know was MACUSA and the UK Ministry have had a number of conversations behind closed doors regarding academics. Hogwarts being a pilot program for how the international community might one day deal with or as they would all it "co-exist" with half-breeds and other magical creatures.
One had to wonder if the inclusion of Durmstrang with Koldovstoretz's best was absoluteely intentional. The other schools needs to crush Hogwarts thoroughly and completely in the national scene to prove that superior numbers and a wider breadth of resources did not make a stronger wizarding community. For that, each of these schools would need to work together in so far as preventing Hogwarts from winning... at any damn thing.
Lazarus Plott wore jewel-toned robes and gaudy jewelry. A large billowing cape that was charmed to flap valiantly behind him. His dark hair and well-trimmed beard had a smattering of grey, white walls that reinforced the fact that he was not as young as he used to. "Best of luck to Durmstrang and Koldovstoretz." he would offer to shake the hands of the students from the Durmstrang and Koldovstoretz but not offer the same to any of the Hogwarts players. [Please note moderator, you are free to have him commentate heavily biased in favor of Durmstrang and Koldovstoretz, although this has no effect on the rolls.]
"It is go time now isn't it." The bludgers would launch into the sky and start with wiz about the pitch. The snitch would follow shortly thereafter, a glint of gold that would buzz about in an erratic manner before darting off and disappearing from sight.

Interacting with Lysander-Blaine Stavrou (@Phaedra Stavrou)
Arjan strolled into the pitch with his broom over his shoulders, holding onto them. Yes, he probably could have - and should have - flown in. However, this was more him. He got the opportunity to flex his beautiful biceps as he casually walked in. More than that, he also looked very laidback and cool. What girl would not swoon at the sight of that? At least, in his mind. Mounting the broom, he kicked it up into the air and started to hover. With that, he flew around the stadium to rally the crowd before he swooped down towards the Durmstrang corner where the benched players were seated, dropping to the area to speak to his teammates as he climbed off his broom and grabbed his Beater bat from it. Dropping the pair on the side, he looked at the team. This was their moment to have a quick conversation before the first string players mounted and flew off to start the game. He had no idea what the strategy was but he was convinced he would be playing, of course - not realising he was benched for the foreseeable future.
Looking over to his friend - one of the few on the team - "Wanna make a bet?" He started in Russian with a smirk, "I'll manage to whack the bludger more times than you can score. Loser has to... hm, do whatever the other says," He challenged Lynn. He had absolutely no idea what the strategy was yet but it did not matter. All he had to do was defend the useless players that were unable to defend themselves and beat the failures that were unable to dodge a bludger. It was so simple! And, obviously, he was the best at this whole thing.
In truth, he didn't really care for many people on the team. They existed, sure. But they were not his 'friends'. "Teammates" was a term that he said loosely. They were not his mates by any means. They were people he mostly tolerated. Lynn was one of the few he actually respected in any shape or form, much like him outside of the sport. Really, Arjan was not a team player. He was very much the sort of guy who would happily turn around and whack a bludger into his own peer's head if they looked at him kind of wrong. But, for now, he was in a good mood and was not angry enough to fight his own team...

Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.1. Obnoxiously Strong: Extra 15% Strength

NPC to be played by a member of the Koldovstoretz-Durmstrang Team. Nominate someone ad they will be responsible for their 50 word posts. This does not count as their post.
Reducio
Appearance: Rumor has it Evgeny is a dhampir due to his pale skin and and love of dark clothes and darkness. In truth, he just burns rather easily. He does don the signature emo swoop and a love for eye-liner but the similarities end there. He is a strong combination of bookish nerd and goth kid, with a preference for collared button down shirts and sweater vests, he dresses well and likes to keep himself neat.
Personality: He is rather serious and studious for the most part. Being a muggle-born has left him with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, he is often trying to prove himself 'worthy' of the designation of wizard. Having no know familial legacy of wizarding, he is the first in his family to attend Koldovstoretz and he often feels out of place and incompetent despite his efforts. For this reason he is often defensive and snappish. He does not deal with stress well and can lash out in frustration towards people that are undeserving, his pride makes it hard to apologize even when he knows he was in the wrong.
History: Born in Vladivostok, Russia to Alexander and Sofia Petrov, he is an only child less a half-sibling. He went to public schools where he excelled in the usual - art, recess and chatting. He enjoyed video games, cartoons and comic books. He had friends and he was somewhat popular. In truth, before Ilvermorny he had a pretty good life.
His mother was a Secretary and his father worked for a printing company. He had an older sister that his mother had from a previous marriage, Elena. She was okay but he never got to know her well because she was almost a decade older than him so they had little in common. As far as he was concerned she was a 'fine' sister, they never fought but they also rarely interfaced. She was a 'problem-child' for his parents and a frequent source of arguments. She rarely adhered to her curfew and she had taken up smoking when she was 12. His parents hypocrites because they both smoked. She also drank while underaged and lived a lifestyle that his parents found as irredeemable, even though when they were her age they were not terribly different. Still, few see themselves for what they are and that would include warren's parents. due to his sister's "transgressions" his parents were rather strict with him, leaving him with little autonomy as a child but in truth he truly did not need much freedom because he was fine bringing his friends home from school to play video games in full view of his mother as long as she kept up the steady stream of soda and crisps. So thanks sis I guess.
Unfortunately that all changed when he got his admission letter to Koldovstoretz. He was of course skeptical as were his parents, the notion sounded like a scam. His parents were more willing to see Evgeny off than he was, the notion of some 'fancy private school' was really all that they needed to know. Warren was of course excited, the notion of being 'special' and having 'magic' entertained his juvenile mind. However this came at a great cost, he needed to leave his friends, his family and his familiar, comfortable life. He wanted to stay even if there were parts of him that were ready to go.
His initial exposures to the wizarding world were overwhelming. The colors, the scents and the fact that reality had rules he was unfamiliar with made his first several months in Koldovstoretz difficult. He was the subject of ridicule from some of his peers, his lack of awareness of cultural norms made him a easy target for bullying but it also fueled his desire to better himself. He spent most of his first to years holed up in the library where he read everything that he could get his hands on. While his housemates socialized and wasted their evenings playing games, he sought to surpass them. In truth, his hefty efforts only allowed him to keep up for some time. To become more aware of impending 'attacks' from his crueler peers, but in time he did inch past them.
In the present day, he tries to get others before they can get him. He is quick to anger and rather insecure. The only thing that he is confident in is his sexuality, he had come out as bisexual to his parents. He was dating a boy from Moscow until last month when he was dumped unceremoniously because it was 'summer vacation' and he wanted the 'freedom to meet other people.'
First Magic: His first instance of magic came and went without him noticing. It was during one of his parents arguments, they were arguing about how his sister was out late with 'that boy' again. Dmitri was about as harmless as they came but it was past curfew and his parents were not having it. They were arguing about whose faut it was and it was going well into the night. He was agitated and anxious, he could feel himself vibrating. What he did not realize was that he was not the only thing vibrating. In the living room on the other side of the house a vase suddenly broke as his anxiety peaked. His mother screamed and his father cussed, the living room was a mess and they both suffered some minor, shallow cuts from the broken glass.
There was a later incident involving a fall, he fell out of a tree and rightfully should have broken his arm but the earth gave way under him as he fell reducing the impact. He thought it was simply 'soft earth' and thought nothing more of the incident. Of course little did he know that this was magic.
Stats:
Broom:
Whatever the person that is roleplaying him has.
Abilities:
1. Foulplay: When performing a foul in quidditch, there is a 25% chance that the foul will go unnoticed by the referees. This would also apply if applicable to duels, wizard chess and gobstones.
2. Keeper's Catch: 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may as a free action hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice (it would be recovered with a quaffle grab action) and treated like a bludger or pass the quaffle to a team mate. This must be declared by the Keeper if either of these free actions are to be utilized.
3. Calming Presence: An aura of calm. Allies (defined at the START of an instance regardless of later betrayal) gain a 10% chance to auto-hit their chosen target. This does not stack.

Madhup Hexum spent those final seconds sweeping a wondering gaze over his teammates. The Durmstrang warriors were his bread-and-butter allies. Those Koldovstoretz folk were welcomed with a tentative, patient acceptance. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and boy did that matter when teaming up against Hogwarts. Everyone knew the "Hogs" were fearsome sportsmen. They dominated most matches, but with that in mind, surely their guest teammates would find a common ground. They could be loyal to one another... so long as the game was on.
Madhup was a simple boy with simple desires: no evident curiosity for the oddity of Lazarus Plott, no fascination for school mysteries. All the young Chaser needed was a fast broom and a good game. Mounting his Silver Arrow and kicking off alongside the others, he flew with effortless ease, gripping his hands overhead and shaking them to rally up the crowd. He bellowed with ferocious encouragement as he passed the Durmstrang stands. The Hogwarts seats, however, were offered only childish expressions, gestures, and fart sounds.

I do not share the same opinions ooc that Charles has ic
Broom over his shoulder. A single brown wrap with gold stitching could be seen tied to the end. The blonde pushed back a few strands of blonde hair from his eyes. Looking ahead, the as arrived. The quidditch match between durmstrang and hogwarts, with the Koldovstoretz students on the durmstrang team.
The blonde felt his chest clenched,
rubbing at it with his right hand. Not wanting to appear weak... less than the others... the teen dropped his hand, fingers trembling slightly as his eyes darted around for someone to speak with. For someone to distract his mind with the few minutes before the game.
Johannes Sauer. Durmstrang Keeper. The blonde enjoyed poking fun with him, trading banter. Stepping over, a head nod toward the lad as he stood besides him. The blonde inhaled before exhaling with a half smile directed toward Johannes as he spoke in the russian language, "not looking to short today, uh Johannes," banter. Insults. The teen didn't have a grudge or not care for the keeper. Only enjoyed their constant banter and insults toward one another.
A eye around at their opponents, Hogwarts, the teen eyed Johannes as he spoke in the russian dialect, "how about a bet, leprechaun?" A slight raised eyebrow before it dropped, the teen positioned his broom from his shoulders to his side as he continued, switching to english.
"five galleons, the Kolvo keeper blacks out before even entering the game," Charles spoke followed by a nod as his eyes found the bench where the second strings sat. Their second string keeper, Evgeny Petrov? Evan Phillips? Peter Johnston? Something like that... to the blonde, the second string looked a bit peaky. Pale. Almost tried perhaps? A half smile toward Johannes before the blonde would offer a nod along with a half smile toward Rosella, the blonde felt at ease playing aside the girl. Playing aside a friend.
The teen turned to the pitch, ready for the game. Broom by his side, the teen would mount. Running his hands along the wood. First game with the broom. The teen brought his eyes ahead of him, ready to play.

Edward grumbled as he carried his broom into the Pitch. He wasn't to happy to be out there, out with the crowds watching. He did see that the love of his life was there. Sure, he felt sorry he kept delaying the letter, as he wasn't sure exactly what was happening, or how to tell her of anything.
"AYYYYOOOHH" Eddy screamed at the top of his lungs, as he entered the Pitch. He was trying to imitate one of his heroes, Freddie Mercury, to have people acknowledge that he exists. He was a proud Koldovstoretz boy, and he would stay that way, win or lose. The sad thing though, was that he had to play with Durmstrang. His most hated school, as he wished he could destroy the reputation. But he had to put up with the school, in hopes to win.

Mentioning: Edward Smith @Noah JupeEvgeny marched his way into the stadium, broom clutched tightly in his right hand. He was not ready for this, not ready to have to play quidditch with a team that was mostly not his own. It angered him slightly, in his mind it seemed that Koldovstoretz was not seen as strong enough by others and had to be combined with the strong Durmstrang team just to be able to do anything. Sure they were a small school, but that did not mean that they were not capable of fighting for themselves.
The boy had no issue with the Durmstrang school, it was the fact that they would not be able to prove themselves and needed the help of the other school that angered him slightly. "Would you stop it Edward!" He snapped at the younger Koldovstoretz boy in frustration. This was going to be one of their only chances to prove their worth and the younger boy seemed to only be playing around. Sure, Evgeny should not have snapped at the younger boy, but he was stressed and when he was stressed he snapped, a lot.Action: EnteringStats: Stamina: 7 | Accuracy: 15 | Evasion: 10 | Arcane Power: 0 | Strength: 8 | Wisdom: 0

Interacting: Charles Alluring @Henry KnightRosella entered the large Quidditch stadium slowly but with her head held high. Sure she was not the happiest about having to team up with Durmstrang to play, but it was not the worse thing in the world either. This would probably be the only time she ever got to play with Charles instead of against and she was going to try her hardest, even if she was the second string chaser. Even if they were to win or lose, she was really did not care about the outcome.
Slowly the red-head made her way over to Charles. "Are you playing nice Charles?" she questioned him with a grin on her face. Her hair was tied back out of her face, making sure it would not be a distraction or get caught in anything. Rosella grinned at the boy she considered on of her closest friends knowing that the rest of the Koldovstoretz team were most likely not going to appreciate her spending more time with the Durmstrang students rather than spending time with them. She did not really care what their thoughts would be though, she rarely got to see Charles and this was probably going to be her only chance to play with the boy.Action: EnteringStats: Stamina: 9| Evasion: 9| Strength: 8| Wisdom: 7| Arcane Power: 9| Accuracy: 10

Broom handle hooked over both of his shoulders and feigning cool indifference to mask the jackrabbit beat of his heart, there was something surreal about being surrounded on all sides by literal walls of fans. When he had done broom racing, the spectators flanked either side of the starting stretch and the path's obstacles were obscured with overlapping mystery.
Yet throughout it all, a piece of his fellow Hellhounds had followed him to London and back, his gloves and rings a testament to the faith his gang had in him though Johannes had been temporarily running with a different crew. Eternally warmed at the understanding of his friends and wishing all the best for what was to come, he pressed a good luck kiss on the silver ring decorating his right hand's index finger, calling back all his hours of training that had led up to this.
The presence of someone else speaking to him broke Johannes out of his self-contained musing. There were only a handful of people who had come along on the trip that poked fun at his height. Cielle, in all her Quidditch-hating glory, would probably not be in the packed stands today. An unfortunate probability, but this meant that he could talk about it afterwards in the safety of their tent- without the looming pressure. But the familiar voice and telltale blonde hair could only mean one person- Charlie and the chocolate factory, one of Durmstrang's fine chasers. "How's the wind drag going for you, Żyrafa?" Giraffe in Polish. The two of them had come a long way from their first significant meeting and there was a familiar sort of charm that came with bantering with the blonde. It was a casual, good-natured sort of dynamic and that mutual understanding was a good nerve-calmer at the best of times.
They needed their wits about them to score a win on enemy school territory, Johannes knew. He switched to English, entertaining Blondie's offer. "Five gal...?" He scanned the short expanse of the field they had gathered to prepare for the game before landing on the second-string bench. There was something almost funny how he immediately recognised the other Russian school's keeper by aesthetic alone.
It was as if MTV emo got into hair gel with the express need to invoke concert-level raccoon eyes. Now, Johannes loved himself some of that early-2000s to mid-2010s Tumblr alt, but... Johannes's eyeliner didn't look like that, right? Internally grimacing at the mere idea of it, he fought the urge to check up on his own waterproof work of art. It was a bold choice but, then again, everyone needed their moment of dramatic teen angst. It just happened that the Koldolv keeper expressed his nerves with an iron grip on his poor broom and an irritable expression. That was a kid that would be fun to keep riling up, but alas, none of them had the time to properly try it out and Johann didn't particularly want to get hexed right before the match.
Pretending to contemplate further, he hummed in consideration as if he didn't already know the answer to such a bet. "Make that five and a drink. I gotta give my fellow keeper some credit." Not to say that he wanted to jinx himself into forcing the second-string keeper into play (to this, he quietly knocked thrice on the wood of his broom), but the prospect of a little team building at the expense of the other half of their fighting force was a fun one. "From the looks of things... He might need it." He shared a wry smile with Charles as their poor conversational target lashed out at some poor schoolmate of theirs. The talk lulled as another approached the blonde and Johannes bade Charlie good luck before turning away to check over his equipment one last time.
