Forum:Asbjørn Nygård

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.

'''Asbjørn doesn't care about strengths and weaknesses, not really. He has other important things to tend to. And regardless, every little thing about every person in this world is a strength - not a weakness. At least according to him, anyways. You're abrasive and a jerk? That means you've fought your way through some tough life situations. You get distracted easily? It's because you have questions, you thirst for this secret knowledge you aren't even aware of. To him, weaknesses don't exist. By extension, he has no weaknesses, his entire being acting as a strength. There is, however, a blurry line between believing nobody - including himself - has weaknesses and being an arrogant prat. He makes sure, doing everything he can, to be able to pinpoint the line clearly and not pass it.'''

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?

'''Considering Asbjørn has adapted very well into the wonderful - yet surprising - role of father, he'd say his life didn't exactly play out how he wanted it, but he loved the way it turned into what it is now. On the other hand, however, he did win the Eurovision Song Contest a year and was able to host it another, so then again, maybe it did play out the way he wanted, just with... well, some differences he's come to love along the way.'''

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

'''It'd have to be collaborating with Pyrrha again. They have the tendency to make tragically beautiful songs, the heart-wrenching kind that makes you die just a little on the inside with every passing second of it. She has a beautiful voice - one Asbjørn is sure many would kill for - and he wants her to realize, to notice how she's truly capable of making it big in the music industry with him. Although there is, as well, his daughter to bring into consideration, so it'd be either a day with Pyrrha, a day with Elina, or better yet, being able to spend a day with both of them, with no unwanted interruptions. Just the three of them, as a family.'''

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


 * A watch Pyrrha gave him their first Christmas as best friends. It's a fond memory of his, one of which he refuses to ever let go of.
 * While his voice isn't an actual material, it has given him so many opportunities, including the one that offered a better life for his daughter to grow up in.
 * He'd rather not be accused of stealing his own child again, hence why he'd rather not let go of the one document - or really just an entire case of them - that declares Elina not just biologically, but legally his.
 * While his wand isn't something he'd be terribly upset over losing, it is his key to being able to take part of such a magnificently well-kept secret community. Not to mention, because of his wand - his magic - he's able to remain Pyrrha's friend, not just some old, muggle dude she could just forget about. Nope.
 * While it'd be childish to add Elina herself here, he has grown into a fitting overprotective fatherly role, hence his need to add her as something - someone he'd keep. Elina is his baby, his little girl, his everything, and he'd rather not risk losing her over a misinterpretation.

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

'''He'd like it if the wizarding community was more involved with arts and actually learned to appreciate the different branches and its beauty, but it's not something that bothers him terribly. There is, really, nothing else he'd change.'''

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!)

Asbjørn's life had its own fair share of hardships, but they were nothing like Brynja's, not at all.

'''He was raised in a female-dominated nuclear family, with his sisters Synnøve, Astrid, Therese and Helen, his mother Tove and his father Kjetil. It was a normal family, if you didn't count how they were all - through different blood statuses - wizards and witches. They were forced to live a life on the outskirts of hometown Oslo, as far apart from human life as possible with the fair exception of his extended family, the Skovgaards.'''

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!)

'''Asbjørn is the definition of a gentleman. He's kind and true at heart, with an inability to be anything but polite. He's caring and understanding, the kind of friend you want to have in your life because to not have them in it makes you feel like you're a disgrace. He is - as some British witches who're fans have put it - the very embodiment of Hufflepuff House. He's intelligent enough to have fit perfectly into Ravenclaw, but his kindness outweighs it. Asbjørn is a just and loyal man, who [mostly] never strays away from his morals, especially not after his and Synnøve's incident a couple of years ago. Modest with his achievements in life thus far, Asbjørn isn't one to parade anything around, much less his still-growing musical career. There is, of course, the fatherly pride in him that basically forces to show his daughter off to just about everyone he knows, but it's understandable for a first-time father, especially a single one, like Asbjørn. He's grounded safely in Earth, as Elina and Pyrrha have done an excellent job at keeping him from ever becoming a corrupt millionaire, an arrogant prat as some former ESC competitors have been known as before. He always plays by the rules and values hard work above much else; however, depending on the circumstances, Mørland is known to play dirty, especially if it's regarding anything that may damage not just his reputation and image - those he cares little about - but Pyrrha's and Elina's. He has the tendency to be protective over the two, having gone as far as to scare away all of Pyrrha's former potential suitors. He knows it's only a matter of time before he'll be the same way with young Elina. As someone who has worked his ass off to get where he is today, climbing his way to the top of the charts all around the world, Asbjørn is known to be very dedicated. He never gives up - never. No matter what the circumstances are, he never lacks the will to go on, to push through every barrier and obstacle keeping him from getting to where he wants to be. It can make him quite stubborn at times, though it's an easily manageable problem if you know how to choose and use your words correctly. Overall, Asbjørn is one of the rare few people in the world whom lacks more negative traits than he does positive ones. He truly is a good man, certainly one of a kind.'''

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!)

Half-Blood

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!)

Aside from brilliant singing and being able to come up with funny (to him) dad jokes, not really.

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?

He's currently juggling fatherhood and his successful career as a singer in the muggle world.

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

He's single, but has a daughter - Elina Nygård.

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!



His FC is Kjetil Mørland.
