The Character's Background

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

Capricorn is a wild child to say the least. He has way too much energy that he likes to get out playing quidditch or dancing. He's one of those kids that never turns down a challenge and will jump off a cliff if his friends did it too. Cap loves adventures and will actively seek out any fun he can. Unfortunately, he is a trouble magnet so those adventures tend to go south more often than not.

Somehow, Cap got blessed with some kind of talent because, boy, can he sing. He's really good at dancing too. He's quite the little performer. He's also pretty good at quidditch. He's no Schmidt, but he knows how to play a good game. Capricorn also likes to run. Not only is it a good way to get rid of his abundance of energy, but also to blow off steam. If he's ever upset, it's not uncommon to see him on a run. He's pretty fast too. Don't try racing him.

What he lacks in smarts, he more than makes up for in gusto. Cap is always one to put on a show. Dramatic maybe, but he gets the point across. He's also insanely brave. Probably dumbly so. He never hesitates to rush into a dangerous situation. The only thing that stops him sometimes is water. He's terrified of water - especially ice. After a bad experience as a kid that almost killed him, who could blame him?

For the most part, Capricorn is really friendly and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Key words: for the most part. He's still a young boy and he still does stupid stuff and he's still oblivious sometimes. Again, the lights might not be all on upstairs, but he has plenty of charisma to buffer that. Thank goodness.

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.

Jonghyun and Gaeul were the type of lovers everyone pictures. They met in grade school, bickered a bit, flirted a bit, dated as teenagers, and got married a few years after graduation. They had a real happily ever after type love. A year after their marriage, Gaeul became pregnant with a baby girl named Park Janji. They loved her more than anything in the world. Until her little brother came along five years later, that is.

Little Woobin came into the world guns blazing. He was one of those toddlers that had the "terrible two's" his whole childhood. He was a wild child, but with the love and nurture of such good parents and the best big sister, Woobin turned out just fine. At age six, Woobin found out that he, like his sister, was magically inclined. It was both a happy and terrifying event. There was a baby fawn trapped on the iced-over lake near the playground Woobin frequented. In an attempt to save the creature, he went out onto the ice. He was almost to the fawn when the ice broke. He managed to send the fawn flying towards the bank where its mother waited in distress, but Woobin himself wasn't so fortunate. Luckily JJ was there to save him, but he was beginning to suffer from hypothermia by the time she got him out. Needless to say, Woobin stayed away from ice and water after that.

At age seven, Woobin was given the chance to start attending school with his sister at Mahoutokoro. He turned it down in favor of studying in the States where his mom's brother lived. There, he learned and improved his English and made lots of friends. His Uncle taught him how to play quidditch, and he fell in love with it. While in the States, Woobin picked up a westernized name - a pretty odd one too. He started going by Capricorn, Cap for short. Long story short, he read a book with a character that had that name. There was no talking him out of it. JJ tried.

He spent two years in America with his Uncle before moving back to Korea. He didn't stay there long though because his father's job moved to England. JJ transferred to Hogwarts that year, and Capricorn started to grow accustomed to their new home. The year after next, Cap himself was to attend Hogwarts. He hasn't been there long, but he loves it so far. The people are nice enough and he at least tolerates most of his classes. So far, so good in the old castle.

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!

His model is Park Jisung

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!)

He's special alright...

6) What year is your character in?

First

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?

Gryffindor or Hufflepuff - He thinks he fits in with Gryffindor better and would make a lot of friends there, but being in his sister's house wouldn't be terrible either.

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"? 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.

20 active; 3 exotic (using one of my extra char spots)

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

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?

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

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

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