The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Francisco is one of those people who will never admit that there is anything wrong. He's not willing to put his burden on anyone else's shoulders. He refuses to complain and he puts on a smile even when everything else about him clearly says he should be frowning. He doesn't like to talk about his problems, he doesn't feel like anyone needs to know about what he's got swimming around in his mind whether good or bad. He doesn't like to talk about himself, he'd rather have a boring conversation about the weather than talk about his past. He struggles with piecing together a future for himself because he can't stand the thought of doing it alone. He's partial to changing the topic when he feels like someone's questioning him too intensely.

He enjoys being the center of attention even if people aren't entertained by the who he really is. He's always got a joke up his sleeve, either to break the ice or to hide his fake smile with an attempt at a real. He carries a joke book around everywhere with him and he's usually thumbing through it an laughing to himself or trying to decide what's worth memorizing. He actually like the jokes the miss the mark the most. The kind people furrow their brows or maybe even roll their eyes at. Those are his favorite because he thinks they make great talking points. He's actually found it's a pretty good way for him to get to know people better without having to reveal too much.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Francisco is an Afro-Portuguese wizard born in Pombal during the winter of 2020 to Soraya Travieso and Altair Barbosa. His father Altair is a Dark Wizard (Metamorphmagus), he's a psychotic assassin with a morbidity to him that makes him seem to lack humanity. He uses his Metamorphic abilities to assume the identity of his target while he tortures them before he kills them. His mother Soraya is a Dark Witch she was born into a family with deep ties to all things dark, she was bred for thievery and cold-blooded killing. She's a horrible combination of an expert-level marksman and a master strategist. Together they were capable earners of reputation and wealth. The combined effect of her honed skillsets with his natural talents made them nearly perfect.

Even before he entered the world he caused a lot of strife in his family. His mother couldn't do any of the things she used to do before she was pregnant and she hated every second of it. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be anything she could do to make it better, that much was true even after her son was born. He was more of a burden than he was a blessing. He'd inherited his father's metamorphic abilities making him a difficult child when he got emotional. His mother hated to look at him almost as much as she hated to hear him cry. His father didn't like the fact that he required so much attention.

His parents had a hard go of trying to raise him, he grew up with little more than a couple broken bones and a few minor scrapes and bruises. He does suffer from some emotional trauma due to neglect and the threat of violence, however this goes unspoken. Other than that, even with the occasional slip ups they think they've done a good job. They didn't have the highest of expectations for him, regardless of that they taught him certain branches of magic in the hopes he would take to one of them. He kind of hoped he was a Squib and that he could leave magic and his entire youth behind him. Although that was impossible, he'd already known he was a Metamorphmagus like his father. He didn't discover his magic until he was nine, he created a weak flame that left burn marks in the shape of his hand on his bedroom door.

Beauxbâtons is where he ended up despite having a strange inexplicable desire to go to the African wizarding school that his mother attended. In his mind the more exotic and much farther away school would have offered him the bigger advantage in terms of education. Uagadou is known for wandless magic and churning out Animagi, a tradition he was eager to be a part of. He certain that in either school he would've been forced to learn a third language. Since his school was in France and the majority of students knew or spoke the language he didn't take to it as easily. He wanted to believe that he was fluent, he was actually quite talented a butchering the language. The entirety of the school setting was foreign to him, his home-schooling was completely unstructured and the rigidity of a fixed schedule was nothing short of excruciating.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here!

Jacob Artist

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)

Half-Blood

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

Metamorphmagus

6) What year is your character in?

Seventh (he's from Beauxbâtons)

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


 * B. No, this is not my first character.

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic"?

0 are exotic

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

Putting on a smile, or cracking a joke - a good one or a bad one

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

He'd want to be a stand up comedian, maybe even just an actor who makes funny movies or tv shows. He'd hate to be trapped in a cubicle but a movie or tv set is different it's the kind of make believe that he's been practicing all his life.

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

Making the people around him smile or laugh. He's not aiming to be the class clown or the funniest person ever, the little bit of brightness he can bring to someone else's day does more for him that it does for them.

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

His self-worth, he's got a need to be liked by everyone that decides almost every move he makes.

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?

His wand is made of Alder with a Jackalope Antler core. It answers to him due to his immense likability and his profound if not misguided consideration for others.
