The Character's Background

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

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.

Han is a melting pot of identities. His mother and father met and fell in love quite accidentally, when she was young and couldn't find platform 9 and 3 quarters. A young muggle boy tried helping her, albeit quite confused, until her mother arrived and finally took her to the right location. This started out a friendship and a bond between the two. In secret, she would write to him via owl, and little by little, reveal things about the magical world. During the summers, they did their best to meet up and play. Eventually, the two fell in love, and by the time they were 20, had their first and only child- Han.

Han's father went on to become a stock broker in order to keep up with the family expenses, given how much more expensive the wizarding world is by currency. His mother became a Healer at St.Mungo's. Each worked long shifts, but still had time for Han. He lived as a happy little baby and, from an early age, he developed a love for art, despite not having the talent for it.

Han's first sign of magic was quite curious- he was shopping with his mom for outfits for school at about age 5, when, to his dissatisfaction, he noted how restricted the clothing section was. Racks started rolling from one side of the store to another, until the chaos finally settled and the gendered clothing finally became ungendered, with racks sitting in harmony in the middle of the store. Needless to say, it was clear he inherited his mother's magical ability. Even when he was young, he wasn't a fan of the roles and expectations set upon people based on their perceived gender. Han began playing piano when he was six, which developed his sense of musicality. While not the best, he tried really hard and eventually improved, building that sixth sense for music. His paintings did not gather the same improvement. His parent's discovered Han was slowly, but surely, going deaf when he was about 10. They thought about correcting it, after all the magical world allowed for things that only muggles could dream of- but they decided to leave that decision up to him, instead ordering some old fashioned hearing aids, and hired a tutor to teach him british sign language.

At eleven, the excited kid was finally sent off to Hogwarts. He made many friends in his first year, and started gaining new interests, such as in rom coms (even though they're kind of symbolically bad most of the time and perpetuate certain ideas), and in musicals, as a good gay must do. He briefly got into the furry scene but then backed way away from that. At about 12, he started learning how to b-boy, and that turned into a general love for dancing as well.

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!

Chella Man

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!)

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!)

6) What year is your character in?

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?

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"?

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?
