## So my OC is involved in a convoluted plot line...

Yeah, we love it. That's part of what's made the hashtag so successful on TikTok! If you're trying to figure out how to best organize the plot line, backstory, whatever for your Wiki...talk to Benji for some guidance and possible help! We do plan to go through sometime soon and sort all of that out. So...don't worry and be patient.

## I want to make a OC...where do I start???

**Browse the TikTok hashtag #hogwartsprofessors and this Wiki** - See what's out there already, what classes have a lot (or too many) professors.

**Go to Pottermore.com** - Make an account to be sorted into Hogwarts and Ilvermorny houses, find out what your wand looks like, and what your Patronus is.

**Name yourself** - If you're struggling to come up with a name, there are a bajillion (well, maybe not that many) name generators out there. Try this one. Or this one (divided by species). Or this one. Or see what Google comes up with...

**Check out this article** - It was designed for people trying to create the characters for the Harry Potter: Wizard's Unite game, but has several links to character creators.

**Be creative!** Don't discount your own imagination. Remember, your character will evolve as you go along. But here are some questions to get you started:

1. When were you born/how old are you?
2. Where were you born?
3. What's your family like?
4. How was your childhood?
5. What species are you/what do you physically look like (not all wizards are human!)?
6. What do you teach and why are you the professor for that position?
7. Who are the significant people in your life now? Friends? Romance? Heartbreak? Family?
8. What do you like/love/hate?
9. Thoughts on Muggles/Nomajs? Are you a Pureblood type or for everyone?
10. What brought you to Hogwarts?
11. What types of spells are you best at?
12. What does your wand look like?
13. What is a secret you have that you will never reveal?
14. What's your sexual orientation? Who are you most attracted to? Are you attracted to anyone?
15. What was an obstacle you had to overcome? How did you succeed or fail?
