<pre>Character Name : William More             Height     : 6'9"<br/>Player ID      : Vandren                  Weight     : 170-180 lbs.<br/>Nickname       : Will, Bill               Eye Color  : One green, one blue<br/>Gender         : Male                     Skin Color : Ruddy<br/>Age            : 18                       Hair Color : Strawberry blonde<br/><br/>House Affiliation : Ravenclaw<br/>Disposition       : Bright, but quiet.  Bookworm who sees little point in<br/>                    sports and other related activities.<br/>Personality       : Bill’s a very intelligent, introverted young man. Despite<br/>                    his intelligence, he rarely speaks in class, seeing as he<br/>                    is also rather shy. Given the choice between going outside<br/>                    to see a Quidditch match and going to the library, he’s<br/>                    much more comfortable in the latter. This shyness is<br/>                    quadrupled around girls (female professors he can deal with,<br/>                    but girls his own age are another story). He gets tongue<br/>                    tied and lost. In school, despite his book knowledge, which<br/>                    should get him high marks in most subjects, he’s never been<br/>                    good at testing. This explains his OWLs to date. He just<br/>                    gets flustered and freezes more often than not (he might do<br/>                    better with one-on-one exams).<br/>Sexuality         : Hetero<br/>Basic Turn-ons    : He’s honestly not sure, though if pressed, a well-proportioned<br/>                    physique and outgoing personality would probably win him over.<br/>                    Intelligence too.<br/>Basic Turn-offs   : Ruralness, dirt, rudeness<br/>Sexual Limits     : Site Rules, Male-Male<br/><br/>Fantasies<br/>- Most Wanted : Unknown (he doesn’t think about this much)<br/>- Second      : See above (but he does have a hidden semi-cruel streak due to his<br/>                lineage)<br/>- Third       : See above<br/><br/>Physical Desc :<br/>  Bill, or Will, is very tall for his age.  In part this is due to his mother’s<br/>  heritage.  While he inherited the height, he didn’t inherit the bulk, so he<br/>  looks something like a long stick, very skinny or slim.  Like many of his<br/>  mother’s kind, he has a full bushy beard and long hair that falls to the<br/>  middle of his back.  Bill usually tries to keep this tied back in a ponytail<br/>  and relatively under control, but this is an exercise in futility.  Since his<br/>  father’s a traditionalist in some ways, Bill does wear a pair of old-style<br/>  black Hogwarts robes over his normal clothes.  His normal clothes are<br/>  obviously second-hand and a little ragged around the edges, though they are<br/>  nice and dressy otherwise (slacks, button-down shirt, scuffed black dress<br/>  shoes, tie).<br/><br/>Wand : 14” Oak, Ashwinder Ash<br/>Pet  : Eric, a barn owl<br/><br/>IQ        : 16       Strength  : 15<br/>Fortitude : 10       Prowess   : 12<br/>Charm     : 8        Endurance : 16<br/>Quickness : 14       Beauty    : 9<br/><br/>Year: First-Year<br/>Classes   : Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Flying<br/>Electives : Ancient Runes, Herbology, Astronomy<br/><br/>Pre-Hogwarts scores:<br/><br/>    History of Magic : A   Herbology     : E    Muggle Studies   : A<br/>    Potions          : A   Arithmancy    : A<br/><br/>-- The Questionnaire --<br/>- What form would his/her boggart take?<br/>  A full blooded giant<br/><br/>- What form would his/her patronus take?<br/>  Probably a ferret (small, quick, and lithe, everything he wishes he was)<br/><br/>- What two courses are or were his/her strength?<br/>  Herbology, barely.  He's mediocre in everything so far.<br/><br/>- What two courses are or were his/her weakness?<br/>  None, really<br/><br/>- Is he/she: Pureblood, Muggle-Born, or Mixed?<br/>  Pureblood, though 1/4 Giant<br/><br/>- Does he/she have a particular type of magic he/she excells at?<br/>  Anything involving reading<br/><br/>- What is a good way to describe the personality of your character?<br/>  Bright, but quiet.  Bookworm who sees little point in sports and other<br/>  related activities.<br/><br/>- What is your character's lineage (short parental background)?<br/>  Father's a wizard of a decent family (a few generations of wizards there),<br/>  mother's a 1/2 Giant and wizard with a bit of a reputation because of her<br/>  lineage.<br/><br/>- Why was your character sorted into his/her house?<br/>  Bill was sorted into Ravenclaw due to his intelligence.<br/><br/>- Most importantly -- for students, your character was considered a squib<br/>  until the onset of their 18th birthday, when suddenly the magic within them<br/>  'erupted'. This was oftentimes a very major, sometimes traumatic experience.<br/>  Describe yours, in as much detail as you desire.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>  Born in 1999, Bill was raised in an all wizarding household.  The family’s<br/>  only claims to fame were his paternal great-grandfather who worked with<br/>  Nicholas Flamel once (for two days) and his maternal grandfather, who was a<br/>  reasonably tame giant.  Yes, this means his mother was a half-giant.  And<br/>  that Bill’s a quarter-giant.  In the insular and relatively small wizarding<br/>  community, this is fairly well known, though Bill prefers not to talk about<br/>  it.  When he wasn’t taken to Hogwarts in 2009, the family was worried that<br/>  the giant blood had overpowered the wizard blood in his veins. Fortunately,<br/>  that doesn’t appear to be the case.<br/><br/>  He was signed up for the remedial courses a year later and did passingly<br/>  well, though his teachers always thought he could do better.  With the<br/>  exception of Herbology, where he got lucky, Bill did mediocre in his tests<br/>  for all subjects.  That said, his test scores don’t accurately reflect his<br/>  knowledge/understanding.  In fact, his eruption of power came during one of<br/>  his tests.  He’d just had his birthday a few days before when he had a big<br/>  Potions test.  Everything was going smoothly and his potion was coming along<br/>  nicely.  It was virtually textbook perfect.  The color and consistency were<br/>  excellent.  He might’ve gotten an O in the subject, even.  The professor was<br/>  looking forward to being able to give him that grade, in fact.<br/><br/>  Of course, everything was going along too perfectly.  Bill got nervous about<br/>  that.  Especially after the teacher’d come by for the sixth or seventh time.<br/>  All he had to do was leave the cauldron alone.  And he was trying his best to<br/>  do that.  He never touched the iron pot.  He only looked at it.  Once.  For a<br/>  few seconds.  But that was enough.  His cauldron, and those of the three<br/>  students nearest to him, suddenly had a fit of spontaneous combustion.  All<br/>  four exploded spectacularly, spraying the entire room with the mingled contents<br/>  of four potions in various stages of completion.  Bill spent the next six hours<br/>  huddling under an overturned table while a magical reversal squad was called in<br/>  and kept busy with his classmates and teacher.  Needless to say, he nearly<br/>  failed the test, and almost caused his fellow students to fail as well.<br/>  Fortunately, the teacher realized what had happened.  Accordingly, the other<br/>  students were allowed to retake the test and Bill was forced to settle with an<br/>  Adequate.<br/><br/>  When he arrived at school, Bill was sorted into Ravenclaw due to his<br/>  intelligence.  He wasn’t outgoing enough for Gryffindor or insidious enough<br/>  for Slytherin.  He might’ve been good for Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat<br/>  decided otherwise.  Since he just started at Hogwarts, he doesn’t know what his<br/>  worst subjects are yet, but he does know that he’s good at finding out anything<br/>  that uses the library or books.  Based on that limited information, he assumes<br/>  that History, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Potions, Runes, and Astronomy will be<br/>  easy for him.  Maybe the theoretical parts of DADA.  The rest, he’s not so sure<br/>  about.  Still, Bill expects mediocre marks in everything because of his past<br/>  history.</pre>
