The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Dennis is always paying attention to the smallest details and his deep sense of humanity makes him one of the most careful people you'd ever meet. His methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although he is often tender, his heart might be closed for the outer world. He is often misunderstood, not because he lacks the ability to express himself, but because he won’t accept his feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. Dennis has a strong character, but one that prefers conservative, well-organized things and a lot of practicality in his everyday life. He has an organized life, and even when he lets go to chaos, his goals and dreams still have strictly defined borders in his mind. Constantly worried that he missed a detail that will be impossible to fix, he can easily get stuck in details, becoming overly critical and concerned about matters that nobody else seems to care much about. You could call him a control freak, but he would just get mad.

Expressive and quick-witted, Dennis is quite sociable, communicative and ready for fun, with a tendency to suddenly get serious, thoughtful and restless. He is fascinated with the world itself, extremely curious, with a constant feeling that there is not enough time to experience everything he wants to see. His open mind and philosophical view motivates him to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Dennis is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. He is able to transform his thoughts into concrete actions and will do anything to achieve their goals. Also, he is a great listener and will try to offer the best solution for other's current situations. He can be quite stubborn from time to time as well.

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. Alice Lanchester was a pureblodded witch, whom the Sorting Hat put in the Ravenclaw House in 2013 during her first year in Hogwarts, where she would years later meet the love of her life. Marcus René von Rilke was a pureblodded wizard sorted in Slytherin House back in 2011. The two met in Hogsemade during their sixth and fourth year respectfully. By the time Marcus graduated, they were broken up. Marcus got a job at the Ministry at the Department for Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, where he was employed as an obliviator. It was after Alice's graduation and her internship at the Department of Magical Education that their spark ignited once again - the two were now in a serious relationship. They had engaged and gotten married in 2024.

Alice was pregnant with her first child in 2026, and Dennis von Rilke was born on September 1st in Berlin, Germany, his father's hometown. The little family moved to Germany and both Alice and Markus were employed at the German Ministry of Magic. Their worktime was rather flexible so both of them got to spend time with their firstborn, so they all have a healthy relationship amongst each other. While the two were working, Dennis spent most of the time with his grandparents who lived near their place. When Dennis was seven, Alice had given birth to twins, Ariel and Sebastian. Since then, Alice decided to stay at home and take care of her three children, while Marcus was working for the German Ministry of Magic. When he was eight, Dennis was annoyed by the twins' crying and he had his first magical incident, where he shut the doors to his room.

Being a pure-blooded wizard, Dennis didn't act in any uncommon fashion, he explained what had happened to his parents, who were both prone to using magic. Soon after, Dennis was enrolled in a primary school in Berlin, where he learned about the basic principles of magic without any actual practice. He got along well with his peers and did well academics-wise for the subjects that intrigued him. Before turning eleven and finishing his primary education, Dennis got an acceptance letter from Beauxbâtons Academy of Magic. There he got sorted into Ombrelune after shooting the silver arrow. He finished four years at the French academy when his parents decided to move back to London for personal reasons. Dennis enrolled in Hogwarts in 2041 for his fifth year, where he would like to continue his secondary education.

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!

Dennis is a young, average height slim man who has normal length brown hair, brown eyes and a muscular body. When not in his school uniform, he wears a black T-shirt with a red plaid shirt, black pants which are held up by a leather black belt. He also wears dark blue Converse shoes and silver chain bracelet around his left wrist. He keeps his wand hidden up in his sleeve. His model is RJ King.

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!)

Dennis is Pure-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!)

No

6) What year is your character in? 5th year.

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

Dennis would prefer Slytherin or Ravenclaw, because his parents were in those houses respectively.

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?C


 * 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"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs.

Nope.

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

Listening to others and offering words of advice.

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?

Dennis would prefer a simple 9-5 job without much risk.

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

Seeking improvment and approval.

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

Can be quite cocky  and stubborn at times.

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

Vine wood, unicorn hair core, 10" and supple flexibility.

Dennis seeks a greater purpose, he has a vision beyond the ordinary and ifrequently astounds those who think they know him best. Vine wands seem strongly attracted by personalities with hidden depths, such as Dennis himself.

Dennis is rather faithful, so the wand that chose him has unicorn hair core.
