The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Eugene is a feet-on-the-ground, eye-on-the-prize kind of guy with a realistic, grounded approach to life. He knows how to do things, and to get things done. He is very much concerned with things that are worthwhile - and that includes his own live. Eugene wants to do and be something worthwhile, he needs to feel useful and effective in the real world in order to be satisfied with his lives. Eugene has a strong sense of society and its framework, and he feels most secure when he feely he's doing his part within that framework. Eugene likes to pare things down, and take pleasure in the simple things in life. However, he is attracted to status symbols and these ones will wear the best clothes and drive quietly impressive cars. He doesn't mind taking things slowly, but he absolutely aims to get to the top of the mountain in life! He makes his way steadily and sure-footedly; and his strength and singleness of purpose are admirable. Eugene can sometimes be rather lonely, although he rarely lets it show. He is often a little reserved, even standoffish. This is generally because he values all things practical, and he'll seldom wear his emotions on his sleeves. To some, Eugene may come across as unimaginative, but he can be enormously creative when it comes to the material world. He is generally a very capable person with a strong sense of tradition and responsibility.

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. Eugene was born to Arthur Robichaux and Antigone Xenou on December 25th 2026 in New York, USA. As his father was employed in the Ministry of Magic, Arthur wasn't really around Eugene as much. This, of course, means that he was living with his muggle mother, completely unaware of the existence of magic. His parents had an agreement that he was much safer staying outside of the whole magic world, because he could easily become a target due to his father's position. He spent his early childhood living in a luxurious appartment on the Upper East Side with Antigone, his mother, who was at the time working as an editor for a big newspaper company. Her good position in the company provided Eugene with an opulent childhood, one could even say Antigone spoiled little Eugene. By the age of six, Eugene was enrolled in a private school, the best one money could afford. Although Antigone insisted on many private tutors, Eugene didn't seem to really need any. His affinity for knowledge was already expressed, much to Antigone's joy. She had schemed a plan that, if he were to manifest his magic, he were to choose to stay in the muggle world, rather than join Arthur, his father, whom he had not met. In 2038, Antigone's newspaper was involved in a rather big scandal which resulted in numerous lawsuits and trials. By the end of 2039, most of their resources were gone, which resulted in Eugene's transfer to a public school, where he was picked on because of his previous lavish lifestye. Antigone swallowed her pride and contacted Arthur, who gladly took both of them under his wing. The three were now living together for the first time since Eugene was born, although he still wasn't aware Arthur was his father. Eugene was now enrolled in another private school, much closer to their appartment located on the Upper West Side. When he turned ten, he was attacked in the city by mugglers and his magic manifested by sending them flying across the alley they were in. While trying to come up with a logical explanation of what had just happened, his father explained to him that he is in fact a wizard, just like Arthur himself. Not much later, he got his acceptance letter to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Upon stepping on the Gordian Knot in the entrance hall, both Pukwudgie and Horned Serpent showed interest in Eugene. Deciding to follow his father's footsteps, he chose the latter. As his parents decided to move to London, Eugene, now 15, has transferred once again, this time to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and WIzardry.

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!

Eugene is a male of average height with dark brown hair that seems to be untameable, piercing blue eyes which turn green under sunlight and a semi-muscular body who is very confident in his appearance. Despite being rich throughout most of his life, Eugene's style wasn't that dashing and dripping with extravaganza, he was more suitable for regular clothes, as he deemed himself more approachable while wearing them.

His style can be described a casual, as he's often seen wearing black jeans held up by a leather belt of the same colour, a simple, mor often than not unicolour T-shirt and an unbuttoned flannel barely tucked in his jeans. Eugene prefers comfortable shoes, the ones he adores the most are a pair of black leather Converse shoes. When it comes to accessories, Eugene can tipically be seen with a silver chain necklace adorned with a vintage-looking key, although it is unknown whether it can actually open anything. He wears a pair of black rings on both of his index fingers. The model I wish to use is Chris Doe.

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!)

Eugene is a Half-blood, as his mother is a Muggle.

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!) No.

6) What year is your character in? 5th

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?

Ravenclaw - he believes his best asset is his mind and intellect, he is rather diligent and is quite fond of academics.

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

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"? If you do have exotic characters, please list both the name and the type of exotic. Remember you are only allowed one of each type with the exception of nymphs.

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

They would say he's a good observer and a quick learner, capable of adapting into almost any enviroment.

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

He wouldn't like to lead a dangerous life, so professional quidditch player and auror are out of the option.

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

Passion for knowledge and adventures, need to succeed in everything and to be the best.

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

Eugene can be rather narcissistic, egoistical and attention-seeking.

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?

Chestnut wood, unicorn hair core 13 ¾" long and hard flexible wand.

This combination of wood and wand core shows a predilection for those concerned with all manner of justice and seekers of knowledge, such as Eugene himself.
