The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

"Lennon Axel Maverick, son of Euphoria Corporation's CEO Arlon Maverick was spotted with yet another girl at the Christmas Charity ball this Winter Season. The public has lost count of how many women he's been with at this point. Seeing the young inheritor to the Maverick Corporation with another piece of arm candy begs the question everyone wants to know: just what is it about him that makes all the women and men grovel? In today's segment, we'll be delving into who Axel Maverick is and why he seems to be catching so many people's attention.

Attraction Factor #1: Looks We obviously had to start with this one. It's no secret that the young heir is devishly handsome. He attracts both women and men alike with his charm. Just the way he holds himself - there's something sexy about it!

Attraction Factor #2: Confidence While some may toss up between the two terms confidence and arrogance, we decided that Axel simply has both. He's fully aware of his effect upon others, and he plays that to the extreme. Taking charge, shooting first, and asking questions later; that seems to be his motto. If he wants something, he gets it.

Attraction Factor #3: He's a Rebel If you haven't heard of the boy's scandals yet, you live under a rock. He has a tendency to take people's expectations and give them the complete opposite. The once perfect and dutiful son quickly became a threat to the family image when he hit his teenage years. Between girls, booze, and a careless attitude, he created an image for himself that contradicts the traditional CEO's son persona. But instead, we got a leather-clad guitarist and singer who exudes the "bad boy" vibe. We think it's worth it.

Attraction Factor #4: Talent As previously mentioned, Axel took a dip into the music industry. Not only does he sing, rap, and play the guitar, but he dances too. Any guy who can dance automatically becomes 10X hotter - let's be real. As a bit of his rebellious streak, he took a gap year at age fifteen to expand on his musical talents. Thank Heaven for that! Otherwise, we wouldn't be blessed with such good content. He went on a small tour in America before moving to England where he resumed school and his duties as a corporation's heir. As much as we love a man in a suit, we still miss his tour fashion.

Attraction Factor #5: Brains As if his charm and magnetic aura weren't enough, Axel is also incredibly smart. He has the mind of a businessman like his father, and the brain capacity of a genius. He attended and currently attends a private school back in America and in England as well. On top of that, he attends occasional business classes and lectures to prepare him to inherit the family business. Smart and sexy: get you a mans that can do both, ladies and gents.

So obviously, the Prince of Euphoria has a lot going for him. No wonder crowds fawn over him. There's just something about him that leaves us wanting more. That's all for What's What today, folks! Tune in next week for a blog about England's hottest new celebs this year!"

"Public perception and reality are two wholly different things." -Tamara Mellons

While the public sees Axel as a lot of things, there is so much more behind the infamous inheritor. Muggles believe his magnetic pull to be from his charm or charisma, but truthfully, it's his part-veela characteristics that are manifesting. Mostly, people pay attention to the alluring and persuasive traits that come from this, but it also fuels his short temper. He's often hot-headed and impulsive, and it doesn't help that he almost always thinks he's right.

People also don't see the insecure and closed off side of Axel. He is in constant fear that he won't ever been good enough. For his father, for his fans, for the company, for his future partner. He has yet to settle down with someone because of these hidden insecurities. Not so confident after all.

All in all, he feels broken and lost, but that is unbeknownst to everyone, including himself. Even if he knew, he'd never let on to anyone else that he was struggling. After all... the famous heir, musician, and teen icon can show no weakness.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Arlon Maverick, a half-blood wizard and upcoming entrepreneur, was quite the go-getter. Born in the United States as a Korean-American, Arlon had a lot to prove to the world. And sure enough, he did it. He was still quite young when his business took off. He became one of the most sought-after bachelors in both America, England, and South Korea where his company worked out of. He eventually settled down with a South Korean witch named Seo-ri who came from a very wealthy family. While he loved Seo-ri, such a big personality couldn't be tied down by one woman - especially under the influence of a Veela. Hong-joo waltzed into Arlon's life and that's where the affair began. Quicker than either one could predict, Hong-joo became pregnant with Arlon's baby. During labor, Hong-joo passed away, leaving him with a child and an image to maintain. Instead of coming clean, Arlon claimed that he found the baby at their doorstep. Seo-ri couldn't stop herself from taking the infant boy in. They "adopted" the baby who would come to be their only child. He was given the name Lennon after Arlon's father, though they called him by his middle name Axel.

Growing up, Axel was expected to be the proper, high-class type. He was heir to a major corporation after all. This meant instead of playing with toys, he would practice reading and writing. Instead of watching cartoons, he would watch educational documentaries. Instead of being a kid, he would be raised as a young businessman. Like a pig is raised for slaughter, Axel was molded to be the perfect future CEO. Unfortunately, no one expected the rebellious streak growing inside of him. Even as a child, he would sneak off to enjoy himself. He'd go make friends at a park, or buy half of the toy store with his mother's credit card. Axel always found a way around the rules. He was a charmer like that.

One of the times he did get caught was by a nanny of his. She caught him watching Scooby-Doo and shut the television off so he would focus on studying. When he refused and went to turn it back on, the nanny placed the remote atop the television set where the six-year-old Axel wouldn't be able to reach it. In a fit of anger, the young boy sent a near-by vase flying towards the screen. It shattered, leaving behind a broken TV and a mess to explain. That was his first magical experience. He was elated. The nanny was not. Unfortunately for her, Axel conjured up a story of how the nanny was the one who smashed the TV and how scared he was - the kid even shed a few tears just for emphasis. Due to the veela blood running through him, it was easier to sway people's opinions. The nanny was fired on the spot.

When Axel turned eleven, his father decided he needed to study abroad in the States. So that's what he did. In America, he attended business classes along with a magic school named Ilvermorny. He stayed there about four years before he grew bored of following Daddy's orders. He took a gap year during what was supposed to be his fifth year. He took that time to work on something he actually enjoyed: music. He even went on a small tour across the States. After the tour and multiple angry phonically from his father, Axel moved to England where one of Euphoria's headquarters was located. There, he became more involved with the business and began attending Hogwarts to continue his magical education.

While he is much more restricted now, Axel continues his music career and performs shows sporadically throughout England. Most of his time though is consumed by school and Euphoria. As if his rebellious tendencies weren't enough, he also struggles with his sexuality. It was during his gap year that he realized he was into both men and women. He was known as a Ladies' Man, which wasn't ideal for his image, but coming out as Bisexual? Not a chance. His father would positively have him killed. He's not the worst man in the world, but he is majorly homophobic. If Axel was ever to come out about his sexuality, it wouldn't end well. So instead, he drowns his problems with alcohol, cigarets, girls, and music. What better way to live, right?

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!

His model is Park Min Hyuk

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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)

Half-Blood; Maverick Family

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a 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?

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?

Probably Slytherin because it is the most respectable house - that's good for his image. It's what his father would want and expect from him. Plus, he figures he'll find kindred spirits there.
