The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Alex is very sure of themself, and wants to do the most good in the world with as few people getting hurt as possible. Alex is also extremely intelligent, and can speak and understand seven languages. These seven are as follow: English, Japanese, Latin, Russian, German, French, and Spanish. Though they grew up and went to school in Northern Europe/Western Russia, (attending school at The Durmstrang Institute), Alex has since immigrated to England to find work with the English.

Growing up in a poor family near the city of Syktyvar, Alex had it instilled in them to always be better than the day before. They always try to be better than the day before, and will do anything in order to do so. During their childhood, this got them in some hard places. Though there was always a temptation to go Dark, Alex resisted it, (sometimes barely) as they wanted to be an Auror (or the Russian equivalent).

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. Alex grew up in a poor family in outer Syktyvar. Though their family were all Purebloods, Alex's family was quite poor, only being able to send them to Durmstrang through the generous patronage of a wealthy Pureblood sponsor that found Alex begging on the street. Though they had been able to make things happen from an early age (around 5 or 6), they were careful not to let "normal" people see this.

Though Alex often feels better than most people, they know that it is probably only from circumstances that they lucked into at birth. Alex's first magical sign came when they were only 5 years old.

They were only barely starting to learn to speak German, but that was okay, because the following happened all in their native Russian. Their older brother, Vladimir, came stumbling into their little house (more of a shack, really), having just been shot by a member of the Russian mafia. Their mother wanted some snow melted to treat his wound. Unfortunately, they had no form of heat that was quick enough that day. The snow had already been gathered, in preparation to become drinking water. Alex toddled over to it, waved his hand, blinked, and it was water already. Alex's mother came over, was in awe a bit, and quickly put the water to use.

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!

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!) Alex is a Pureblood

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!) Alex is a Wandless Magic User, so yes. Alex is my third character.

6) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Alex wishes to become a Hit Wizard, as a part of the Auror Office, within the Ministry of Magic.
