The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

His physical strength, his appearance,

He doesn't believe he has any weakness. (It's probably his lack of intelligence)

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

He's happy with his life, he thinks it could be better and he is in pursuit of what it is that could more definitively make that possible.

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?

Being adored by the people around him. He doesn't feel like he matters if people aren't hung on his every word or complimenting him at the least.

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?

His favorite picture of himself, his wand, a nice outfit, a stash of money, a family memento.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?

He'd put an end to the Secrecy Statute and deal with any problems that arise from that as they come. He thinks muggles would be in awe of magic and most would see wizards/witches as superior.

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Remember, history must at least be two paragraphs long for the first two characters, three paragraphs long for the third to eighth character, and four paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth character!)

Reuben is a Half-Blood wizard born in Le Vauclin during the fall of 2010 to Cécile de Beauharnais and Jaden Jordan. His mother was a Austringer, she was also a Magizoologist who specialized in winged creatures. His father was a Healer who also happened to be a survivalist, he shot down her beloved bird for sport. Jaden was able to heal the bird, he hadn't killed it midair as he meant to. His shot was off thanks to the blood curdling scream coming from Cécile that ruined his aim. She was angry with him, she was furious and entirely prepared to fight him. She punched him a few times out of pure rage. Once in the torso, the chest, and of course the face. She wanted to do worse until he healed the damage he inflicted on her bird Cannon. They were inseparable after that, married three years after they met. They didn't plan to have children, Reuben was a welcomed surprise they found a way to fit into their unusual life.

At two years old he became a big brother for the first time to younger sister Keziah. She was the second unexpected surprise for Cécile and Jaden. Having two small children under the age of two was a hardship for the family. They survived unscathed although there were some minor cutbacks to their lifestyle that Cécile and Jaden were forced to make in order to keep the family afloat. Reuben was nine when his brother Mordecai was born. He wanted Keziah to be a little brother, needless to say he was excited. Once again before his little brother was two his parents had another welcomed surprise in the form of another sister Amariah. He always wondered if Mordecai would grow up wanting his little sister to be a little brother too. It's one of those thoughts that always make him laugh.

It wasn't until the age of six that not having magic began to annoy him. It became agony for him to grow up in a magical household without having that same sort of power at his finger tips. He was told repeatedly his magic would come, that sage advice always seemed to receive the opposite reaction his parents were expecting. Watching his mother work with animals or watching his father heal people made him feel so normal. He felt out of place and for a short period of time he began to hate life. He didn't want to be normal, he wanted to be a part of the magical world in the same way that they were. At the age of nine his first sign of magic was something so inconsequential he didn't notice. It was his sister who pointed the phenomena he'd been waiting for out to him.

After he got he letter from Beauxbatons prior to starting his first year. He was interested Hogwarts, but had no expectations having learned more about Beauxbatons from his mother than Hogwarts from his father. He did come to love Beauxbatons more than he ever expected to, nonetheless he never shared his feelings about the school with anyone. Not much for books, or lectures Reuben was very much a hands on learner from the beginning. He spent his entire academic career playing quidditch, he had ambitions of going out for captain and will always make an excuse for why he wasn't chosen. He claimed to not be interested in pursing a career going pro although he's been in training since graduation. He remains incredibly active engaging in numerous muggle sports to attain a certain physique.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (Remember, personality must be at least one paragraph long for the first two characters, two paragraphs long for the third to eighth characters, and three paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth!)

Reuben thinks of himself as an alpha male, to say he "thinks" this is to undersell the way he sees himself. He is unapologetically confident, his arrogance knows no bounds. Even in cases of rejection or failure he finds an excuse and it's not his fault. He doesn't accept negativity, he's taught himself to recognize it as gibberish. He doesn't take other people's feelings into consideration with his actions or his words. He's incredibly insensitive and he doesn't realize it, nor does he care.

He's very outspoken and he's known to be brash saying everything that comes into his mind without even the slightest of hesitation. He's got Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), it doesn't make any of his selfish, demanding or pompous behavior acceptable. Although his more negative flaws drive people away his life hasn't been impacted too greatly. There are those who appreciate his brutal honesty, and there are those who admire his high level of confidence.

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

Half-Blood

4) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have one as your first two characters!)

No

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Barkeeper

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Single; 1 kid
