Forum:Nicholas Bagley

Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and see what we find? 19:08, June 23, 2017 (UTC) '''Because Nicholas is only six years old, I'll be doing all of the "Sorting" portions when he's about ten years old or so. It would kind of be weird to do it right now, I think.'''

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!)

'''A skittish young lad, Nicholas Julien Bagley is a typical kid. Known for silent dramatics, his facial expressions are enough to tell a whole story without his words. Specifically, he's a little bit too scared to speak out in most situations, because he's been conditioned to be a dependent child. It's not even that he's shy at all, because Nicholas is certainly incredibly social yet quiet. His words are normally whispered or muttered, which happens even when he's trying to speak up. It normally takes a lot of clapping and smashing of items to get attention his way. However, there is the odd chance that Nicholas breaks out into loud song or chant that destroys the normal for him. When this happens, it's quite common for him to become temporarily flustered to the point of him running away and hiding. Although there isn't really anything behind it, it is considered a common complex for him to go through. Besides, isn't it cooler to be a silent (or mostly silent, anyways) warrior, anyways? When you do get him to talk, at whichever volume, Nicholas loves a lot of different topics. It doesn't take much to occupy his time, because a curious boy always loves getting spoken to. His favorite bits of conversation would be on dragons, bugs, and Quidditch. When he was three years old, his mother started teaching him how to read, so he gets a kick out of it as he's becoming more and more self-taught by the minute. It's always fun reading children books on dragons and bugs or articles on players.'''

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!)

'''After their disappearance, Nicholas Julien Bagley's parents birthed him from their mourning. It was an odd way of bringing up a child, for they could barely understand who they were themselves. With their incident, which they didn't quite understand, they were left with little memory of what happened to their past selves. It did appear that the two adults had been married and had been raising five beautiful children. It only felt right that they tried building that family back up again from the debri of their accident, not knowing enough to pursue their currently living children. Nicholas was raised for the first few years in a Muggle city in Florida, United States. Terry and Andrea Bagley were devoted so deeply to raising their beloved child, especially after the loss of their other children. Although the pairing did work, they spent most of their time on Nicholas instead of just making as much money as they could get. It practically smothered him in love, which built him to be shy without the comfort of his parents. Developing too much dependence, he would start to find it difficult to interact with other children and adults. Everything was fine with two parents in America. Terry worked for the Wizard's Voice in their newly founded Florida location. Andrea published famous American lifestyle books for primarily the middle-aged witch. After Nicholas turned five years old, Andrea had come down with a terribly rough magical bug that brought her to the confinements of her bed. It took the disease seven months to finally do her in, which was suddenly breaking the structure of the Bagley home in an instant. With Andrea's passing came the torments of Terry's reality. After all, she had been the only reminder of once was before what happened those years ago. When she had fallen ill, it brought him back to what only seemed to be true for him as a person However, this was in no way his nearly six year old son Nicholas. It was instead his low-paying job at the newspaper company, where he created the advertisement section for so many long years, which felt like the only natural thing to turn to in those times. Nicholas was hired a middle-aged blonde woman with a knack for wine and cats to look after him. It was the only person keeping him company, but he quite frankly didn't feel comfortable enough around her. Most of their time was spent in pure silence as he rocked back and forth and pretended to speak to his stuffed animals. A couple months after his son's sixth birthday, which they had not celebrated and Nicholas therefore never realized had happened, Terry had been offered a job in England for a higher writing position on a political wizarding radio show. It brought the Bagley family to move to London, where Nicholas felt his father drift further away from him into his work.'''

He's a Pure-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!
