Forum:Parker Moon

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.

' His strengths would include being able to light up a room with his personality and his positivity. Weaknesses on the other hand would be how emotional he is, not being able to hide his feelings. As well as being a crybaby, he absolutely hates it.' 

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?

' The main goal he has set for himself currently is to graduate Hogwarts with good grades. He wants to be able to impress his dad with them. Another goal he has would obviously be to settle down in the distant future and have family.' 

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

' Parker's ideal way of spending a free day would be staying home with his dad. He finds comfort in the days he gets to spend with his dad and kind of misses living with just him. He finds living at the castle to be a bit hectic at times.' 

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

' 1) Wand - for obvious reasons 2) Ring - a family treasure that his dad gave him 3) Picture of him and his dad - obvious reasons 4) His plushie collection - it brings him comfort at night 5) His favourite pair of pajamas - don't judge him they are Christmas themed' 

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

 He isn't that enlightened on the happenings of the wizarding society so he isn't overly sure what he'd change about it. 

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

' Parker would probably want to be in Hufflepuff the most, he thinks he fits the needed qualities for it the most. He wouldn't mind Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, they just aren't his desired house. Slytherin is a big no, he doesn't have what it takes to be a Slytherin.'

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!)

' Parker is quite the emotional person and it's definitely no secret. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and no matter what emotion he's feeling people around him are guaranteed to know. He's tried countless times to make it less obvious, but having a rough school experience and being bullied definitely didn't help him overcome the obstacles he needed to in order to be more secretive about how he's feeling.' 

' Parker is a crybaby for sure, which makes sense considering he's an emotional person. He cries when he's upset and especially when he's happy. Once again, another thing he can't help. If he get's news of something good he'll tear up, and if he gets news of something bad then he'll go into complete waterworks for hours. He doesn't have a single mean bone in his body, and trying to make him get angry would be quite the accomplishment. Nobody's ever seen him get angry, not even his dad.' 

' When Parker's happy, his smile and happiness can be very infectious. He'll stop at nothing to make sure everyone around him is having a good time and is enjoying themselves. He's normally very upbeat and positive, even if people aren't positive around him he'll march to the beat of his own drum. Since he's been bullied greatly, the only thing he did to counter it was just try and block out negativity and stay positive. Although most of the time he's unable to.' 

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!)

' Sydney Moon was quite the young wizard when he slept with a woman named Daniella Hwang, in fact it was his last year of high school in Montreal. Being young and dumb, of course the proper precautions weren't taken which resulted in Daniella getting pregnant. Nine months later, a little baby boy was left on Sydney's parents doorstep with a simple note explaining that the baby was his. Naturally, Sydney's parents were pissed about the recent addition to the family, and after giving him some money to start a solo life, they kicked their son out after his graduation.' 

' Living on his own with a baby was rough for Sydney, especially while trying to go to school. He had some help from his roommates but ultimately he just didn't think he was ready to take care of a child. He named the child Parker before being kicked out, but he still had no clue if he intended on keeping the child or if he wanted to put him up for adoption. If it weren't for his roommates' help, Parker definitely would have been living with some family in the suburbs. But Sydney found his heart with Parker, and he learned to love the child, as his son grew up loving him.' 

' Living with his dad and two other guys in an apartment was definitely chaotic at times, but it was good for Parker to have all the eyes on him as he loved the attention. When Sydney found a place on his own, Parker was also enrolled into muggle kindergarten. Living in a predominantly Caucasian neighbourhood and being the only Asian student in his school, Parker was bullied frequently for looking different around the third grade. He'd go home crying most days and Sydney didn't know what to do at first.' 

' After going through a year of torment and the school not doing anything about it despite Sydney's pleas, Sydney switched Parker out of the school. However there was more behind the switching of schools, a week before Sydney had made the decision, he had noticed Parker's magic kicking in when he spotted a cup levitating around his son. Not wanting him to use his magic against the kids who were bullying him, Sydney switched Parker out of his current school and into a new one which was significantly better. There was more of a diverse population in the new school which made life easier not being the only different kid.' 

' Of course muggle school didn't last forever in Parker's case, so Sydney did his best to prep his son for Hogwarts before it was time to apply. After a year at his new school, it was time for Parker to apply to Hogwarts. He was accepted and in order to make the transition easier for Parker, Sydney moved with him to the UK so his son wouldn't be across the world without him. During the sorting ceremony, Parker was sorted into ___.'

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!)
