Forum:Orion Teague

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.

+: defence spells, offensive spells, resilience, level-headedness, patience -: healing spells, impulsiveness, stubbornness, competitive nature

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?

Orion is extremely happy with the way his life has turned out; he hadn't known what he wanted to do upon leaving Ilvermorny as a student so to rise from a humble professor to the headmaster is more than he could've asked for.

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

If he's in his work ethic mind, he'd love to plan lessons to help the other teachers out; he knows how hard it can be so he always tries to give them assistance when he can. If, on the other hand, he isn't so work orientated on the particular day, he'd just catch up on the Quidditch or go out and play it himself, or the gym. He loves the gym.

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


 * 1) Wand - self-explanatory.
 * 2) His locket - it was a present given to him by his parents upon his accession as headmaster of Ilvermorny so it's become his good-luck charm.
 * 3) A pouch with an extension charm full of various world currencies, both muggle and magical - he likes to be prepared wherever he is
 * 4) Some form of weights - so he can continue to work out; it's where his mind is among the most clear
 * 5) His broom - for easy mobility

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

He would change for there to be more acceptance in all forms; between species, blood levels, race, sexuality, gender - everything. He believes the muggle world can be inclusive as it is, why make the wizarding world that is far freer replicate that?

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!)

Although born in 2004 himself, Orion Teague's story begins before that with his parents, pure-blood Cador Teague and muggle Brittany Weston. Cador and Brittany met in a muggle high-school despite Cador's magical heritage. You see, Cador was nothing short of a trickster and had heard stories about the infamous Maurauders in Hogwarts, the British schools' resident poltergeist Peeves and had heard some of the feats from the troublemakers there. That, tripled along with his own competitiveness with his friends and drawing inspiration from Ilvermorny's own rebellious students, Cador got into trouble enough to be kicked out of Ilvermorny at the age of fourteen. His parents, ever the blood supremacists, treated him like a muggle and sent him to a muggle high school. The two met in a history class and, truly, the rest was history.

Their relationship wasn't without it's obstacles, however. Alongside the usual mistrust of parents on either side, the Weston's had a great disapproval of Cador. Brittany wasn't a stranger to magic; whilst she herself was a muggle she had a few aunts and even a brother who were muggle-born and thus her knowledge of the magical world was far greater than her other muggle peers. Although supportive of their respective family's abilities, Brittany's parents were apprehensive of magic so finding out that Cador was a magical pure-blood had been the first adversary. The second was confirmation by Brittany's brother that Cador was rebellious and was one of the biggest troublemakers the school had seen in years. Both combined together was enough to encourage Brittany's parents to prevent the relationships at any cost, succeeding in the early years but, ultimately, failing.

When the two graduated at eighteen, their relationship was rekindled after being forced apart two years prior. Everything from there was a seeming whirlwind; Cador obtained a large inheritance and converted the money to muggle money and was able to buy a comfortable house on the beach front for the two of them. Brittany's modelling portfolio that she had sent off as a joke was taken seriously and, before long at nineteen, the two were engaged with a baby on the way. The two had four children in quick succession to one another. In 2000, a girl named Eudora; in 2001, a boy named Sky; in 2002 another girl named Symphony and, to round it all off, in 2004, Orion was born.

Orion was always considered lucky from the day he was born. It was after his birth that his mother landed a maternity photoshoot that truly skyrocketed her career and it was with his birth that his father was allowed back into his family's legacy. The luck had some personal benefits too; he never seemed to be caught by his parents misbehaving and thus was able to get away with a lot of things growing up, much to his toddler delight at the time. Orion was also considered lucky with his first magical experience too.

Whilst Sky was revealed to be a squib, albeit much later on in life, a lot of Cador and Brittany's children were the subject to being late bloomers.

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!)

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!
