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.

Théo's greatest strength  and weakness would probably be his dedication. When he wants to accomplish something, he will work as hard as he can to ensure that it gets done, but i can also become the only thing on his mind. He becomes consumed with completing the task, drawing his attention away from everything else, including people.

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?

For the most part, Theo's life has gone pretty smoothly since his adoption. His dream to join a legal career was successful, though not in the area he originally wanted, but has grown to love it.

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

His ideal free day would be a realxing day around the house with Cyril. Cyril is his whole world, and he's often too busy with work to just lay around with his husband all day. So, having a free day just relaxing and spending time with the love of his life sounds like the best idea.

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

Nothing specific, but really anything that would remind him of his family. He has such a deep connection with them, he would want to be able to remember them as best he could.

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? To make the adoption of magical children to muggles a little easier and ensure that they had the support they needed in order to foster their magical ability safely and properly.

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!)

Théo was born on July 1, 2003 at an orphanage on the outskirts of Paris. As soon as his mother was well enough, she left Théo, wanting no further contact. His father had disappeared as soon as he learned of the pregnancy, leaving no one available to care for Théo. He stayed at the orphanage, waiting for some family to come by and take him home with them. For 8 years, Théo waited and waited, eventually giving up hope that anyone would want him. During his time at the orphanage, Théo's had his very first signs of magic. One day, when a family was coming through meeting kids, Théo thought that if maybe he looked different, some family might want him. As he continue to think about it, his hair changed from a dark brown to a very light blond. Being in a Muggle orphanage, nothing was really thought of it, other than thinking Théo had gotten into some hair dye. He couldn't explain why it had happened, but since it disappeared relatively fast, he just went on with his life. One day, just after Théo's 9th birthday, he finally met the family he would call his own. Henry and Adrienne Dubois instantly fell in love with Théo, and took him in as their own child.

The next few years with the Dubois' were heaven for Théo. He was finally part of a family that truly cared for him and he couldn't be happier. About two years after starting his new life, an interesting letter brought quite a surprise to the Dubois family. Théo's biological parents were apparently both magical and he was invited to join some school called Beauxbatons. A few days later, a member from the school came to discuss the situation with his parents. Eventually, the agreed to send Théo to the school, thinking it would be best to connect him to his family and heritage. Two months later, he was on his way to this strange school, both excited and completely terrified to see what it had in store.

The next seven years flew by for Théo. He was sorted into Ombrelune, not that he really knew what the difference between any of the houses was. He mostly kept to himself and his school work. He was never one of the best students, but he at least put in an effort and came out with decent scores. After graduating, he decided to decided to pursue a legal career. Originally, he set out with the intention to protect children who couldn't protect themselves, but was pushed more into a corporate type of law, dealing with big businesses. Luckily for Théo, this change brought him the love of his life.

While working on a tax evasion, Cyril Baudelaire came into his life. Théo was working for Cyril's brother and spent a lot of time getting to know the family. He and Cyril began to get very close, eventually falling in love. The two had to keep it a secret from Cyril's disapproving family, otherwise Cyril would be cut off from the rest of them. The two eventually got sick of hiding it and Cyril went to tell his brother. Unfortunately, he was greeted with the choice of leaving his family or Théo. Heartbroken, Cyril chose to be with Théo, and the too left, eventually getting married. Now, the two are happily together, dealing with the drama that is the Baudelaire family.

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!)

Théo is a relatively laid back person most of the time. He likes to go with the flow and tries to avoid pissing off too many people, though he has to do it quite a bit with his job. Unless you cross him, he'll do what he can to stay out of your way.

One of Théo's least favorite things is being told what to do and how to act.He's a very strong and independent person, and will start to become confrontational and challenge authority if he's ordered around without good reason. Théo should be left to do things his own way, or else you'll face one of the most stubborn people you've ever met. He responds well to reason and logic, and will cooperate if things are presented to him that way.

The most important thing to Théo is his family. Starting life without one was hard on him, but as soon as he learned what it was like to have one, it was something that he held close to his heart. He will doing anything to ensure that they are all safe and happy. Above all, his love for Cyril is the strongest. If anything were to happen to him, it would be the end of Théo's world. He'd sooner give his own life than to lose Cyril.
