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.

'''He is cocky and funny, and loves to be social around people, and has no anxiety about meeting new people at all. However, he also worries way too much over little things, can be emotionally sensitive, and his confidence can disolve quickly from peer pressure. '''

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?

'''It is to settle down and have a family, because he's never had that oppurtunity before as a kid, so he might as well do it when he becomes an adult. '''

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

'''Marcus would want to have a relaxing day with his friends and be able to have fun and not have anything to worry about...for once. '''

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

'''1. His wand. Without it, he has no magic, and magic is essential to the life of a wizard.  2. His mother's ruby wedding ring. His mother gave it to him before she was killed, and it's his last part of her.''' '''3. His lucky fedora. It seems silly, but it really is lucky, and is part of his everyday style.''' '''4. A picture of his whole family when he was two. So he could see all of his relatives and what they looked like before the disaster.  5. His house key. It's burned and rusty, but it opens the only door he can call home now, so it's both special and important.'''

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

'''He thinks that the prejudices about Muggle-Borns are just plain wrong and should be erased. Everyone is special in their own way, and people should notice that. '''

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

'''Marcus does not want to be in Slytherin, because he feels they are too harsh. Marcus doesn't think he's quite worthy of being a Gryffindor, but he strongly wants either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff as his house. '''

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!)

'''Marcus is sweet, kind, and caring. He's an honest boy who always wants to do the right thing, and doesn't want to get in trouble. He likes to meet new people and tries to make friends with everyone. Marcus is never intentionally mean to anyone, and doesn't give people reasons to hate him. Above this, he's a bit of a doormat, or a pushover, you could say. He's not too competetive, and if someone wants something from him, he'll probably give it to them. But he is great at keeping secrets, because he respects people's privacy. Marcus loves to make people laugh. It gives him the best feeling in the world. Marcus also enjoys acting and doing drama, and doesn't get nervous when doing speeches in front of people. '''

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!)

'''On December 22nd, Maximus and Olivia Carrows had their second child, out of three, and his name was Marcus Carrows. Marcus's parents were kind and caring people, who took wonderful care of their two sons and one daughter. Marcus was a curious baby, and energetic, especially when he was young. He was always trying to take in everything that was going on around him...trying to analyze it and understand it all. He had a giant family, and they were all quite nice people. They got together on certain holidays to have giant family reunions. His family was made up of mainly Pure-Bloods, and were all quite skilled witches and wizards, but none of them considered themselves better than other families. '''

'''His older sister, Sophia, was always like his second mom to him. Afterall, she was eight years older than him. Sophia was always kind to him and playful. They spent much time together, and Sophia babysat him and Dominic (Marcus's younger brother) when his parents were out working. Sophia left to go to Hogwarts when Marcus was three, but wrote to the family at least once a month to bring new updates of her stay. And of course she always came back for Winter Holidays. '''

'''His younger brother, Dominic, was the main person he hung out with when he was little. Dominic was only a year younger than Marcus, and Dominic was very energetic and a rough-housing sports-obsessed person, unlike Sophia. They ran around and played all the time. Dominic was definitely Marcus's best friend. Marcus spent so much time with his family that he didn't really meet too many new people, but he was never afraid to walk up and say 'hello' to someone. '''

'''But, of course, as it seems to always be, no stories have a perfectly happy ending. Marcus was five, and it was the day before Marcus's favorite holiday. It was Christmas Eve, and they were having a big family reunion. Everyone was there. Even Sophia and the rest of his cousins attending Hogwarts. Yes, teh whole family had never been this close before. There must have been at least fifty people there. They had a rather wooden house, and since Marcus's father studied Muggles, they had a gas stove. They were testing it out for innovation purposes, but while everyone was out of the kicthen, someone must have lit the wall on fire. The whole house burned down, and the running gas stove only fed into the raging flames. It caught everyone by surprise. They were just standing outside, eating and drinking and talking, not ready for it. Who lit the house on fire remains a mystery to this day, but now Marcus is very determined to find out who presumably intentionally caused the fire. '''

'''Marcus and Sophia were the only ones who survived, and that was only because they had been walking away because Marcus felt sick after eating lots of junk food. They were adopted by Harris Malwright, a kind single man who never had the chance to have children himself. It took years to adjust, but they were finally making it fit. Harris gave them their space when they needed it, and was a caring person when they were ready for it.'''

'''Marcus was ten, and there was still no sign yet that he had any magic. Sophia was starting to worry, but a few days after Marcus turned ten, they were sitting at the breakfast table eating breakfast, when Marcus sneezed and a broom flew up from teh corner of the room and whacked Harris in the face. It was quite the funny scene, really. The next year he got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts and was off to go to the historic school. Sophia recently graduated from Hogwarts, and next year he will be entering his fourth year there. He can't wait to return to his real home now--Hogwarts. '''

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! Corbin Bleu is his FC. 

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!) Pure Blood, no notable relations. 

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? 4th.
