The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

'''Edgar is text ook intelligent, but needs some diversity in his life and needs to learn about how other people live. Other weaknesses he has are terrible problem-solving skills and laziness.'''

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why?

Edgar wats to prove to peple he's just as royal as everyone else in his family, because people in the press call him the bastard.

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

'''Riding on the back of a broom as a servant flies him around because he likes the rush of it and the win in his face. He also enjoys reading about knights and heroes, although he doesn't actually read, he has others do it for him.'''

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

'''That's so hard! He would definitely keep his broom (flying), his favorite servant (butlering), his classic copy of the raven (priceless literature), another servant (to do his bed), and his amazing manor (it has all the other cool stuff). '''

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?

The way people see him in media :( he is no bastard!

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?

'''Hufflepuff seems to be for those who aren't good enough for other houses, so he wouldn't want that one. He likes Ravenclaw because smart people go there, and Gryffindor because many cool famous wizards came from Gryffindor.'''

The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (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!)

'''Edgar is an odd child. He has no sense o responsibility, is completely carefree and has a morbid sense of humor thanks to hours of Egar Allan Poe and bad advice. He can be arrogant and unwittingly superior feeling to others, but without a mean bone to compliment it. If there is an easier way to do something, he'll do it. He has no real moral inclination, so some things that might seem bad to other people doesn't seem so bad to him. He carries a noble and regal air despite some of his foolishness and has no prejudice towards muggles as someone with a muggle-born mother. When angry or defensive, he'll try to hurt the person by getting someone else to punish them, although quickly he's finding out that doesn't always work. The people spreading lies about him being a bastard, for example, he can do nothing about. He has much to learn about problem solving skills.'''

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (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!)

'''Before Prince Victor was a father, he was a wild young man. Everyday life for him consisted of parties, drugs, alcohol, and all sorts of illegal entertainment. One time, people believed him to be missing for three days, only for paparazzi to find him drunk in a trash can. Needless to say, no one I the royal family was particularly fond of his antics, at least those who cared about perception. The only person who could calm him down was Isabelle, a muggle girl he met as a child and formed a lifelong bond with since that moment. They had maintained a relationship of sorts, and she accidentally became pregnant by him when he was 24. Victor didn't like being tied down, and as much as he loved her, marriage was scary. So while she kept the baby, he kept distant from her for about two years. She signed a nondisclosure agreement to never reveal the baby's father. While people had always suspected of Victor's bastards, because Isabelle was a muggle born, she was able to be kept out of public eye. Finally, Victor realized he couldn't live a life without Isabelle, and thus proposed to her. After their wedding, they revealed to the world that the two already had a child- one year old Edgar. Because they were now married, no one considered him to be a bastard, at least in the palace. Paparazzi were less forgiving of the small child and his father.'''

'''Victor toned down over the years, but the press didn't make it seem as if that was the case. It didn't matter to him or Isabelle- they knew the truth. The prince never wanted a child, but spending time with Edgar meant spending time with Isabelle. He spoiled the child monetarily with eccentric and over the top gifts, but that was about as much affection as he got from his dad. Isabelle, o the other hand, parented him softly and lovingly, at least until he was about 6. She had royal responsibilities to complete, and he was growing into a young man, so she stopped seeing the need to be so mindful of him. From there, it was nannies day in day out, and some of his cousins (like Sophia). At age seven, he experienced his first sign of magic when he kept winning while playing go fish by turning all of his cards into pairs. Now at ten years old, a little bit of the royal weight has hit him, as more and more people's opinions on his legitimacy become apparent to him, and with the looming monster that is Hogwarts being not too far away.''' 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!

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 Harry Potter characters!)

5) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of that 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?

OOC Questions

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


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