HEY GUYS WE ARE JUST POSTING ALL OVER TONIGHT

So! Due to the setting change, we realize that some of you are going to be making changes to your characters' backgrounds, whether big or small. SO, this is the post where you can talk about it! You can post how your characters will be different in the post-war setting, or, if you're not sure, leave a comment and we can help you hash something out! It's fun and informational!

ANTONIO & NATALYA;

[personal profile] knifed 2012-01-05 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
Natalya has no extremely major changes happening to her, really - other than the setting change, of course. Her family was in Belarus in the first half of her life, and then she moved before the war really started. Since she's Pureblooded, she didn't really have too many problems - no one really bothered with her or her family, and they lived fairly freely during it. Granted, her father was paranoid and scared during most of it, since they were foreigners and Eastern European to boot. SO, while she knows of the tragedies that happened, and definitely did not like Voldemort or his men, she blissfully avoided a chunk of it on a personal level. Her father is still paranoid, and that's about it. Her extended family, on the other hand, probably suffered some losses - whether from them being on the bad side, or just speaking out against Voldemort at the height of his power, etc. tl;dr - just a fussy kid who's poor and Pureblooded, idk.


OKAY SO FOR ANTONIO THOUGH. For those of you who were around for the TYL event back in 2010, I kind of had a ridiculous thing going on for poor Antonio. I will fully tl;dr on what exactly happened to him later, since I still have a crazy amount of headcanon for it all and there are some changes to what happened during the TYL event itself, but long story short - he was a Death Eater. A very unhappy, unwilling Death Eater, but a Death Eater none the less. He started off being a very low level spy for the Aurors, but that wasn't really publicly known, so you don't have to worry about that.

WHAT IS BASICALLY PUBLICLY KNOWN IS: Antonio was a known Death Eater during the Wizarding War. The bulk of his family was also associated with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and the Fernández family has been standing on awkward ground as of late due to that. A good amount of their fortune is dwindled, and the few who weren't on Voldemort's side are trying desperately to clear the family name.

For Antonio himself - after the war, he stood trial, and was cleared of his crimes due to his claims of being placed under the Imperius Curse. There's also a rumor that he made a deal with an Auror before the war even ended, who helped vouch for him… But no one really seems to know that for certain.

So, basically, he's fresh out of the trials, and fresh out of trying desperately to find a job - since he's fairly broke at the moment, lmfao. Dumbledore has graciously extended his old teaching position back to Antonio, even with all the bad rumors hanging around him. Feel free to hate his guts!!

annnnd yeah, will actually tl;dr later because what is a brain and good lord, Toño suddenly has 10 years that happened to him and they were not happy ones.
