Week One - Task #01. - “The Entrance Hall”

[Katherine Laurier]

All of the students' excitement can be felt in the air. The Ravenclaw Pride Month activity for 2025 is about to officially begin! After receiving the instructions in the Great Hall, it's clear everyone is up for the friendly competition of finding all the badges for their team.

You sit with your team, and you adore the camaraderie you've immediately established, especially after the introductions, giving each other supportive smiles and thumbs-ups.

Katherine Laurier walks up and takes Silvana's place in front, a cheery smile on her face, "Happy Ravenclaw Pride Month to everyone! We know you are all excited, so we will not hold you for much longer."

"Once again, no magic is allowed. Once your team is finished or the three hours is up, we would like everyone in the Ravenclaw Towers," she says. "Now, are we all ready?"

You all cheer enthusiastically, the spirit of RPM evident.

Katherine nods in approval with a grin, "The doors will now open. You may now head to your first location. Enjoy!"

The Great Hall doors open and each team exits and heads to the first location on their parchment promptly.

Your team's first location is the Entrance Hall. Luckily, this is right outside the Great Hall! You all scatter and attempt to find the badge somewhere, the adrenaline pumping through you.

Moments later, you hear a gasp and a proud exclaim from one of your teammates, "I found it!"

You turn your head immediately and they are holding up the badge. At this announcement, your team is ecstatic!

Katherine, the moderator in charge of the location, begins to speak, "Congratulations! Now, this first badge is a special one. You may personalize this as something to represent your team. Aside from this badge for your team which will be submitted when we wrap up the event, each of you will receive individual badges which you may also personalize for yourself. These do not count towards your total badge count as a team and they will be yours to keep to remember this event! You can now use some time to decorate your badges."

Task:
Personalize your first found badge! Make a signature and avatar or describe it in at least 100 words. If you choose to make a graphic, make sure the signature is 250x100px and the avatar is 100x100px maximum. The signature and avatar are worth 5 beans each. You may choose to make a signature and avatar for your team (which you may choose yourself since you are not truly assigned to teams: Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green), or for yourself.

Alternatively, in at least 150 words, outline at least 3 goals that you have for RPM 2025, whether in character, out of character, or both. These could be personal, such as forging friendships, or more tangible, such as finding all the badges or receiving a certain award during the activity.

I was put on team yellow, so the colours of my avatar and signature reflect this.

The avatar has a dark yellow, almost gold border, which has a ripple effect going along its edges. In the top left corner are the words 'RPM 2025' and there's a badge superimposed in the middle. The badge has 24 spikes along its circular shape, mimicking the sun. There's a gold eagle in the middle of the sun in mid-flight.

Signature complements the avatar. There's the same sun-shaped badge on the right side of the signature. On the left, there's my name and 'Team Yellow' in the same, dark gold writing as the border.

My avatar has a very dark green-almost black-background, with RPM 2025 written in white at the top. Below this will be a light green circle, with Team Green written within it, in black ink and an italic font. Below the team name, there’s a picture of an eagle.

The background of my signature would be the same dark green colour as the avatar. Ravenclaw Pride Month 2025 is written in white across the middle, with my name underneath this. In the top right corner of the signature is a the circle from my avatar, with the same text and image.

I was put in Team Blue!
My avatar has a gradient background, the colour of the sky. In the center, there is a stack of books with a raven on top.
As an arch over the books and the bird, are the words "RPM 2025" .
My signature reflects most of the elements of my avatar, with the same gradient blue background. The books and bird are placed to the left and my name is written to the right in beautiful, lavender-coloured writing. The words "RPM 2025" are written just above my name, with a glowing effect. The borders of my signature are very thin, like a white wisp of light.

Team Green! Let’s go!
So my signature has a deep green background, with a gold line border with white vines wrapping around it and the centralised text is ‘RPM 2025’ in the colour of yellow or gold. Below that in smaller print is ‘Viviana Kingston’.
For my avatar, it is also a deep green background with a gold line border with white lines wrapping around it and the central image is a silhouette of a yellow or gold eagle with small text of ‘RPM 2025’ in black or white depending on what pops it. Simple and popping is the goal.
