Dragon has decided a crazy book and a crazy wizard are not enough torture for you all.

Therefore, I have chosen to inflict upon you all a HORRIBLE WEREWOLF who also taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year.

Thank you!

...You basically stopped me from doing it eventually. :)

From teaching DADA? That's lucky, there's not much job security in the field these days...

*grins* From apping Remus. Though I would have been mean and would have taken him from sometime in late, late 1981. >.>

It'll be awesome having him on the ship, though!

I take him postPOA to be NICE. No Voldemort he just HAS to get back and help defeat yet, but he knows now Sirius wasn't the traitor. Happy ending.

OH CRAP SPOILER SPAAAACE

YAY IT'S THE BEST DADA PROFESSOR EVER!

Will there be some equivalent of the potion he takes to help him cope, or are we all screwed at the full moon, or is there no moon cycle on Stacy?

Don't answer if you want it to be a surprise, I'm just curious.

That's not really a tough competition to win. A houseplant would get the medal if not for Lupin.

I interpret it as requiring an actual moon, so everyone is fine unless he accidentally walks into a glorious full-moonlit night in a Sensorium at some point. He'll be thrilled.

OK, but if Stacy is in orbit around a planet that has a moon, will that moon's cycle affect Lupin? Inquiring minds want to know!
(And welcome to the game BTW.)

Short answer: No, it's magic, screw your logic.

Long answer: I'm actually interpreting (or really, choosing to interpret) this as requiring a great deal more than "a moon is a natural satellite of a planet" sort of thing. The concept of "moon" as it relates to magic, wizardry, and the lycanthropic curse relates much more the the moon-as-myth than moon-as-fact. The Earth's moon counts because it is, well, our moon. A moon in the Sensorium, even if it's not an Earth-moon, would count because it's been created by the sensorium relying on the mental knowledge of the myths and legends and stories surrounding the moon from the person creating the image. A random moon outside the ship doesn't count because it isn't "the Moon", it's "a moon" -- even if it's a moon familiar to a person on the ship, there's a difference between seeing it objectively and stepping into a created world which contains the subjective interpretations.

If that made any sense.

(what is the emoticon for thumbs-up?)

Anyway, thumbs up. Excellent answer! Hope to see you on board.

Excellent, maybe. Answer for keeping him reasonably playable, without constant "oh no, Lupin's on another rampage!" posts, definitely. :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Remus! /brb, squeeing forever

O.o I'm not sure I want to know where you're going.

Hah, I'm just happy to see more Harry Potter characters, that's all :P ~~THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM AROUND~~

You're really making me wish I had my woobie werewolf from Being Human over here now. Awesome for a Remus though. :)

Being a werewolf is a curse! A horrible curse! No one have him meet Garou!

Oh my gosh, that is amazing. Remus!

Nooo don't think it's awesome your standards will be so high and I will let you doooooown

*looking forward to Remus meeting the WOD werewolves, you have no idea*

"Poor Professor Lupin is having a really rough night..."

I will just be over here in the corner being quietly excited. Eeeee!

Although after reading the threads above, it could be fun to see some of the reactions if Remus did happen to wander into that full-moonlit area...

And then everyone was infected, the end.

Well - there are some eensy drawbacks to that idea, admittedly.

Like traumatizing poor Lupin! Hasn't he been through enough?

~~Never!~~ I do suppose that after facing the destruction of his own universe, having to deal with everyone getting infected may be a bit much.
