Forum:Mackenzie Ahn

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!)

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

'Mackenzie is very intelligent, something he's shown since he was very little. He's able to finish all his work rather quickly and have it be correct as well. However when it comes to his weaknesses, his separation anxiety clearly sticks out like a sore thumb. It's hard for him to get attached and not see the person for a long time. Mackenzie is also very trusting, even if the person is untrustworthy and will ultimately end up harming him.'

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?

'Mackenzie's goals for the future are rather simple and generic. He obviously wants to find his true love and be eternally happy with them, but then he also wants to be successful in whatever career path he chooses as well as enjoy what he does. He believes both of those things lead to a happy and long life.'

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

'Mackenzie's ideal way of spending a free day is probably cuddling up with someone on the couch and watching movies, or even just laying together and talking. He doesn't like going out and spending time with people in the busy streets, he'd much rather stay home and be comfortable.'

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

'(1) Drawing of his family done by his sister - She gave him it before he left for Hogwarts (2) Pictures of his dogs - He misses them, okay? (3) Laptop - He needs his laptop on him all the time (4) Cellphone - He contacts his parents with it while he's at Hogwarts (5) Presents from his best friend, Charlie - They mean a lot to him'

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

'As of right now, Mackenzie wouldn't make any changes to it. Why fix what isn't broken? Though get back to him in a few years when he graduates and has to do things by himself, his opinion could change then.'

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

'Mackenzie would be fine with either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. He feels like he fits into the associated characteristics of both houses quite well and wouldn't complain about being sorted into either. However he doesn't want to be sorted into Slytherin because he doesn't agree at all with the house's standard qualities.'

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!)

'Mackenzie is a very polite young man. He has always been respectful to everyone to the best of his abilities, even if they didn't deserve respect from him for whatever reason. He never speaks out of place and his words are always laced with kindness and comfort, wanting those around him to feel happy and at ease when he's talking with them. Often putting everyone else ahead of himself.'

'Mackenzie is also a complete softy, as well as a hopeless romantic. He believes that there is someone out there he's destined to meet and eventually end up falling in love with, and when that time comes he plans on doing everything he can to make that person the happiest he can. He'll be by their side every step of the way, more than likely trying to cuddle with them all the time.'

'Due to how close he was to his parents and having to leave them to come to Hogwarts, Mackenzie has developed separation anxiety. It can be argued that he even had it before leaving for Hogwarts considering he never wanted to leave his parents' sides. Due to this form of anxiety, he is worried to get attached to someone or get a boyfriend/girlfriend in fear they might find him overly clingy.'

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!)

'Noah Ahn, known as Ahn Jae-Hyung in Korea, was a wealthy businessman from New Zealand who had just moved to Siheung, Gyeonggi-do in South Korea. His wife was a model known as Ahn Seo-Young (known as Stella Ahn while in New Zealand). The two had been together for three years, married for one. With no immediate plans to have kids, they were shocked to find out that Stella was pregnant a month after they got back from visiting Noah's family in New Zealand.'

'While on hiatus from her modeling job, Stella had given birth to a beautiful baby boy whom the couple ended up naming Jong-Kyeol. It wasn't long after Jong-Kyeol's birth that Noah was transferred to a branch in Auckland, New Zealand (his hometown). For the time being, they would live with Noah's parents and Stella would stay home to take care of their son who had taken up the name of Mackenzie upon their arrival in his father's hometown. Mackenzie was a handful to say the least, he was a very clingy child and never wanted to be away from either parent. It was difficult for him to adjust to neither of them being around when Stella had went back to college to become a teacher.'

'However, despite being clingy, Mackenzie was a very respectful child. He would always follow the rules and obey whatever his elders said to him. Mackenzie also showed promise of being a very intelligent little boy as early as kindergarten. He was above the class in both reading and writing and his grades only went up every year. He was always being praised by teachers and relatives alike and to most of his friends' parents always would say "Why can't you be more like Mackenzie?". Yeah, he was that kid in school...'

'It wasn't until Mackenzie was eight that he found out he was a wizard. He had just gotten home from school and was pouring himself a glass of milk when suddenly the glass in his hand shattered. He had no clue why, he didn't drop it nor did he hit it on anything. All he knew was there were no cuts on his hand. When his Noah's mom had come into the kitchen after hearing Mackenzie scream, she saw the broken glass and was equally as confused when her grandson had told her the story.'

'After the incident, Mackenzie had found out that his granddad knew a wizard. It was a tightly kept secret between his granddad and said wizard. But after consulting with the latter the family was informed that Mackenzie was indeed a muggle-born wizard after evaluating the younger. Shocked, the Ahn family kept it a secret until Mackenzie was old enough to be accepted into Hogwarts. He began attending the school when he was eleven and at that time he was sorted into ___.'
