Previously he had served as her replacement for Transfiguration class, his elevation over other senior teachers that had been at the school longer was initially seen as the Ministry of Magic forcing their way into the school. Others were suspicious that a pure-blood allumuni from House Slytherin was proof that prejudice and corruption were still at play. <br/><br/>Rodrick however has yet to show any such signs, instead the reputation of a patient and wise individual happy to mentor staff and students a like. Most students who encounter him in passing discover a friendly and kind man. Those who however visit his office in punishment know how stern he can be. Often making amends to staff punishments, and taking favortism away from the house competition. Too often professors show favortism to their own house and look to punish more severly students of others. <br/><strong>NPC is Playable By. . .</strong> Only by GM<br/><strong>Family</strong> none to PCs<br/><br/></td><td><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/3wsAWrd.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Lucious Karkus<br/><strong>Position</strong>: Potions and Alchemy Professor/ Head of Slytherin<br/><strong>Wand</strong>: Yew and has a core of unicorn hair.  It is 12 and 1/2 inches long and is reasonably springy<br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Jeremy Irons<br/><strong>What to Know:</strong>  Lucious Karkus was the longset standing Defense Against the Dark arts teacher in nearly fifty years of the school. Not since Tom Riddle was decline the position has any professor managed to keep the position longer than a year, and therefore for the first time the cirriculum and teaching in the DADA class has been consistent. Leading to the highest scores of N.E.W.T.s in a century. Lucious is widely considered one of the top professors and has only recently stepped away from DADA to become the potions professor following the retirement of Hector Slughorn.<br/><br/>Students know Karkus to be a man of little humor. Expecting silence and obedience in his classes. There are few teachers quick to assign extra homework, cast detentions, or deduct points <em>even from his own house</em> than Professor Karkus. Making him among students one of the least favorite teachers. <br/><br/>As the head of house Slytherin he remains humorless expecting the students in his house to live up to the great reputation that he views was heavily tarnsihed by the dark lord and it's followers. <br/><strong>NPC is Playable By. . .</strong> Only with GM approval<br/><strong>Family</strong> none to PCs<br/><br/> </td><td><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/WH3j4FS.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Roybald Creevy<br/><strong>Position:</strong> Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor<br/><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Missing his left pinky finger, and small part of his left year.<br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Peter Capaldi<br/><strong>What to Know:</strong> Roybald is brand new to Hogwarts so students haven't gotten a good feel of what to expect from the new professor. However if the press and rumors are to be believed, Creevey is a slightly disturbed man. A top Auror in his field Roybald has contended with the very worst of the wizard world. Creevy fought hard to bring death eaters to justice during the dark wizard wars, and was known to accuse many different wizards of being dark in the years after Voldemort's disappearences. He was labeled a nusiance and was forced out of the Ministry he instead moved to France where he continued to hunt dark wizards. <br/><br/>Students will find he is subject to mood swings, and to approach him from behind with caution as he is quick to draw his wand to <em>potential</em> threats.<br/><strong>NPC is Playable By. . .</strong> Only with GM approval<br/><strong>Family</strong> none to PCs<br/></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/5z4kP3C.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Trisha Cliffspire<br/><strong>Position:</strong>  Charms, and Arthimancy Professor.

Though she doesn't tolerate distractions in the classroom she is commonly greeting her students with a wide smile, and a patience with students working to master charms. She is perhaps the easiest teacher to approach for remedial lessons, and is best known in class for pairing strangers together to help practice charms. Most often taking the best students and asking them to assist struggling ones.<br/><br/>As the Gryffindor head of house she is very competitive, sometimes seen scouting 1st years as they are taught to ride brooms to pass information along to her captain. She is seen at every game rooting passionately for her team, and is in most ways considered the polar opposite of Slytherin's Professor Karkus<br/><strong>NPC is Playable By. . .</strong>  Only with GM permission<br/><strong>Family</strong> none to PCs<br/></td><td><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/d1xp0xi.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Chester Shufflebottom<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>  History of Magic, Ancient Runes, and Magical Theory Professor<br/><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Very short<br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Dany Devito<br/><strong>What to Know:</strong> Commonly believed to be half goblin Professor Shufflebottom teaches a number of subjects at Hogwarts that are all almost universally believed to be the most boring. Yet he brings a passion and energy to each class, seemingly getting lost in the material of several topics, Professor Shufflebottom loves to talk about rumors and mysteries surrounding Hogwarts itself. Such as the rumored Chamber of Secrets, and legendary histories of the ghosts and other allumuni of the school have in place. <br/><br/>Students find having History of Magic first thing in the morning to be the most treacherous if they had stayed up late. For Professor Shufflebottom has created a jinx in his classroom that turns the skin color of any student that has the misfortune of falling asleep in his class bright blue for the day. It also comes with a auto-matic deduction of ten points. <br/><strong>NPC is Playable By. . .</strong>  Only with GM permission<br/><strong>Family</strong> none to PCs</td><td><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div class="floatleft">(https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/atthisstage/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/06214757/Mullally-1.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Catarina Delacroix <br/><strong>Position</strong>: Deputy Headmistress / Head of Hufflepuff House / Transfiguration Professor<br/><strong>Wand</strong>: Red Oak, Diricawl Feather, 11 inches<br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Megan Mullally<br/><strong>What to Know:</strong> Catarina Delacroix attended Hogwarts when she was a girl. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, took an instant liking to Care of Magical Creatures and excelled in Transfiguration. Falling so in love with Hogwarts, she decided that she would return to work as a Professor one day. After becoming an Animagus - one who changed into a red fox (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/16/d7/43/16d743ee1ab7a4c3bcbfe7d5a84230a4.jpg), which was the same conjuration as her patronus - she first worked at Hogwarts as an Assistant. After several years, she filled the Professor roles that she so highly sought after, and recently has been promoted to Deputy Headmistress, as well as Head of Hufflepuff House. Though competition is fierce at Hogwarts, she never lets the number of house points impact her mood. The most important thing is that her students gave their best effort and put their best foot forward. Catarina is known for being rather mysterious, evasive, and quick-witted. She is a fast walker, a quick talker, and always appears as if she is in a hurry.<br/><strong>NPC is playable by</strong> GM Only<br/><strong>Family</strong>: None to PCs </td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/WZkn60x.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Nigel Brimble<br/><strong>Position</strong>: Care for Magical Creatures Professor/Head of conservation efforts for both The Black Lake and Forbidden Forest/ Head of Ravenclaw<br/><strong>Wand</strong>: Red Oak, Diricawl Feather, 11 inches<br/><strong>Face Claim</strong>: Steve Irwin<br/><strong>What to Know:</strong> Though he was never a direct student of Newt Scammander, Professor Brimble is a large fan and takes after his work very fondly.

There is no such thing as a creature that isn't beautiful to him, and will often get close to even dangerous creatures, encouraging both bravery in students as well as respect for the various magical creatures he teaches them about.

She is very sweet in most circumstances, though when a student pulls a stunt or is disrespectful she has been known to be vulgar at times.
