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. Jackson is a jokester, which can be his downfall if he doesn't think before he speaks. Altogether, Jackson is kind to his friends, but a bit reclusive when it comes to meeting new people because of his social anxiety. He worries too much of what others may think of 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? Jackson realizes music is an underrated thing in the wizarding world, but after listening to muggle music, he is content with the goal of becoming a famous singer and guitarist, just like his father, Cameron Fenix. 

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? Jackson's ideal day would be with his best friends, because he knows that no matter what, he can have fun with them. Whether they are staying indoors all day, or exploring the wilderness or any big city, Jackson trusts he will have an amazing time in their presence. 

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?
 * 1) His wand. It's very special to Jackson, because his father, one of his biggest mentors, got it with him when he was a first year. 
 * 2) His guitar. It is so special to him, because his mother put her picture on the back of it, and now that she has passed away, it is one of his only connections to her. 
 * 3) A picture of Jackson, Cameron (father), Emily (mother), and Emma (sister), to remind him of what it is like to be together with his family and be happy
 * 4) The letters all of his friends sent him over the first summer away from Hogwarts, telling him all about the fun they were having and how excited they were to come back and see him, so he could always feel connected with them.
 * 5) The poems his sister wrote, so even if he was away, he could remember the way she used to recite the amazing literature in the family room of Fenix Manor. 

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? Jackson wishes that people wouldn't be judged by who their parents or relatives are, before people even meet them, and only judged on how they act and what they say. 

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? Jackson wants to be sorted into Ravenclaw, because his father and mother were, and not Slytherin because he doesn't think it would send out a good image of himself to others.

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!)

'''Jackson is an honest and sweet kid if you get to know him, but from first glance he might seem like a goodie-two-shoes oddball. But that's not really him. He acts differently around his friends than he does other students. Jackson has a hard time making new friends because he's worried what they might say to him if they don't like him. Jackson has courage problems outside of hid friends and family, too. Speaking in public and in front of many people is very hard for him. Jackson has a thirst to learn and be ahead of his classmates, but he doesn't want fame, nor bragging rights. Jackson just wants to be a knowledgeable person. Jackson IS intelligent, but he's a bookworm and has memorized all words in the dictionary. Jackson very much wants to fit in, but knows that he's too much of a coward to actually fit in, since of his fear of being made fun of. So, he stays low on the radar. '''

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!)

'''Jackson Cameron Fenix was born to Cameron and Emily Fenix on May 30th in Great Britain. He was their first born child, and would soon have a sister. Jackson was never a screaming and whining baby. Most of the time, he would sit in a room, quiet, studying everything there and taking it in, trying to find out what it all meant. Even from birth, he was curious and trying to get into everything he saw.  Jackson was always close to his sister, more than anyone in the family. He felt like he could be the real self inside of him around her, and she understood him. They grew a strong unbreakable bond by the time they were 10-years-old. This bond was not to say that Jackson didn't like his parents. He thought they were amazing. Jackson got very close to his mother, but when she died, it shattered his world. It made him nervous to reach out to anyone else, in case they were to leave. He knew it was silly, but the fear stuck with him and eventually formed anxieties inside of him. His parents tried to help him with his anxieties and fears, but many of their lectures about reaching out to people didn't work or stick with him.  Jackson was jealous of all the magic his parents could perform so easily, and wanted to do it too. But he had no signs of magic quite yet. That was, until he was 9. A kid tried to attack Emma, and Jackson immediately reacted. The boy froze in place from the freezing charm Jackson had cast without even knowing it. This was when Jackson finally got to go to Hogwarts the next year, and he was so excited.''' '''The first three years of school weren't hard for Jackson. Classes came easy to him, and it was easy enough to steer clear of the jerks at school. His friends made it even more fun for him, and Jackson LOVED school. Jackson was picking things up fast. That was, until one day. He was in a tower, heading to class, and he was late. Jackson walked right into the middle of an active fight. He saw the two fighting were angry at each other, and ready to take desperate measures. Both the boys were much bigger than Jackson, and he tried to intervene and stop them. But one of the kids slammed him against the wall and told him to go away, and that he was useless in this world. Those insults and feelings stick with Jackson as he plans to go back to Hogwarts next year as a 4th year.  One of the good things that happened to Jackson at the end of his 3rd year at Hogwarts was him having a crush on a cute girl, which kept his mind off things that he was dealing with. '''

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! I don't know what his model is, but he has dark blond hair, hazel eyes and tan skin. 

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!) Half-Blood

5) 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 a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!) No abilities 

6) What year is your character in? Jackson is in his 4th year. 

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


 * B. No, this is not my first character.

2) If your answer to the previous question is B, how many characters do you have? How many of them are "exotic" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?
