Hello, and welcome to Enchanted Entropy, a roleplay forum set in the Harry Potter Universe. Enchanted Entropy is different from other Harry Potter forums because not only does it occur after Deathly Hallows in the Harry Potter Septology, the story also takes place on the Island of Catalina, located off the southern shores of California, USA. You are currently viewing our portal page; to access the forum at any time, simply click on the "Forum" tab to your left -- or, click the "Login" or "Register" tabs.

Cheers, Enchanted Entropy Staff
So you might be asking yourself, what exactly IS this forum? Well, this forum is the result of a brain child between Gia and Kami, the two head administrators of EE. Gia and Kami have known each other for ages, and have been admining together since November 29, 2005. The two of them are very big Harry Potter fans, and have had experience playing a diverse group of canons and OCs alike. After several attempts at creating alternate-universe Potter roleplay forums that involved canons in one way or another, Kami and Gia decided to open up a new kind of Potter roleplay. Noting that there are very few American-based magic schools that are still set in the Potter universe, the two young women decided to give the idea a go. A few days of planning only mounted their excitement, and soon Enchanted Entropy was born.
While there are more detailed explanations in the "Student Handbook" section of our forum, the basic gist of EE is that a school of magic was established on Catalina Island, off the coast of Southern California. The year is currently 2009, taking place well after the "canon" Harry Potter story line. There are absolutely no canon characters involved; they are not playable, nor will they be making cameos. All characters must be original, whether they be student or faculty. The school of this site, Insula, is set up more like an American college rather than a European boarding school; dorms instead of houses, a dean instead of a headmaster/mistress, etc, etc. Some of the offered classes are also different from what you'd find in good ol' Hogwarts. Rest assured, however, that Enchanted Entropy follows all the magical rules and lore set by our beloved JK Rowling.
Because of the strict non-canon story line, we hope to offer a better opportunity for roleplay to those who might not be as familiar with Harry Potter as others. Informational links are provided within our forum, though, just in case some refreshers are needed.
UPDATE [04.07.2010] :: Enchanted Entropy is almost complete! The site is fully functional; threads are up, information is available. Please bear with us through the coding improvements that will take place over the course of the next few days; if anything breaks, please send a private message to Kami Nagato providing as much detail as possible. We are also currently working on setting up an affiliation [and perhaps advertising] system. Until that is in place, affiliations [and advertisements, maybe] will be unavailable. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Want to get to know the staff members, but are too shy to send them a PM? Just give a little click on the staff member of your choice, and find out some great tidbits about who they are, as well as their duties here on Enchanted Entropy.
Name: The Narrator Forum Rank: Administrator Duties: Narration and General Administration
The account named "The Narrator" is an account used only the purposes of plotline and general administration duties [such as thread creation]. As such, this account ought not to be PM'd, unless you're OK with not receiving a response. From time to time, The Narrator will make a post within the roleplay itself to introduce a new upcoming event, timeshift, or other such occurrence; keep an eye out!
Name: Alana Teale Nicknames: Princess Gia, Gia, Gia_Sesshoumaru, Karena Forum Rank: Co-Administrator Duties: Daily Administration, Forum Set-Up, Helping Members, Profiles, and Roleplaying.
Founder of one of --if not the-- most popular Avatar: the Last Airbender RP forums [at least according to Google], Alana is no new hand when it comes to running a site or roleplaying. A veteran roleplayer for many years, Alana's passion for writing really shines through in every in-character post she makes. Despite her busy life, she always makes time for her forums, as well as hanging out with her friends -- even ones who live hundreds of miles away. While some may confuse her direct manner as being rude [though it's not], Alana is really easy to talk to, always willing to lend an ear, and is more than happy to help new and veteran members/roleplayers alike become accustomed to the sites she runs.
Name: Kami Nagato Nicknames: Kami, Kaoru[-chan], Katara, Toph, Ashikada Nanashi, kireikaoruchan Real Name: Anne Teensma Forum Rank: Co-Administrator Duties: Daily Administration, Forum Graphics & Coding, Helping Members, Profiles, and Roleplaying
All in all, Kami is just a goofball; her silliness even reflects in her roleplaying posts. All of her characters have a small bit of goofiness in them, regardless of whether they're a "hero", a "villain", or just your Average Joe. While Kami has been roleplaying and writing for years -and is no slouch at it- her true passion lies in artwork. Whether it be graphic design, traditional art, or digital art, Kami loves to create it. While her roleplay inspiration may vary from day to day, all of her posts are quality work -- even if they're shorter than her self-set "minimums". Kami is also a very big anime/manga nerd, and will pretty much read or watch anything if the artstyle pleases her critical eye. Watch out, though, she's not a big fan of English dub-overs. ... excepting Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Even then Kami thinks they're crappy, but nostalgia ftw, yes? If the name Kami sounds familiar to you, and you are a ProBoards user, yes, the Kami here and the Kami-mod on ProBoards Support are one and the same. Don't PM her here with ProBoards issues though. That's what the Support board is for. =P
