The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Ramses has always given off a slacker attitude even when he's trying really hard not to. He enjoys himself and wants to make the most out of every situation - even the really, really bad ones - and sometimes that comes across the wrong way. He's a professional boss, but also a very sympathetic and caring one. It's easy to take advantage of him, because he wants to believe that people are good and honest. Obviously, that's no way to run a business, so he's had to toughen up a bit over the years, but in general his feelings have stayed the same. If he sees someone struggling, he's the first to help them. It's in his blood to care about others especially after seeing what little help his family received when they need it the most. The least he could do for humanity is share the love (and wealth). Most of his money goes to his parents or siblings, but then floods out into the community around him. He lives his life humbly and is not a very lavish or flashy person. He likes his comforts, but that extends purely to keeping good food on the table and having soft linens. He downplays his own success and prefers to spend his time supporting others instead of being braggadocios. For example, he regularly attends events promoting the arts and buys homemade goods to support local creators and businesses. He doesn't make a scene out of it, because why should he? Other than that, Ramses is quite charming and a natural-born flirt. His biggest weakness is a pretty woman (as horrible as that sounds). He has a big heart and just wants to love someone and live the rest of his life with them, so he falls easily and struggles to get over it when it ends. If someone has his heart, they can do anything they want with him. Maybe this comes from some toxic relationships he faced during his teenage years, but it sticks with him. He's insanely loyal to those he loves and that includes sticking by their side when they're terrible to him. He's been hurt many times before and has started to lose his hope on finding someone to settle down with.

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.

His parents, Osiris el Rashidy and Mediha el Rashidy (nee Nazari), met while attending Uagadou School of Magic. There was a large student population at Uagadou, so the two didn't actually meet until their graduation day when their parents had happened to strike up conversation with each other. The families loved each other and so did Osiris and Mediha - or at least eventually. The couple dated for some time before biting the bullet and getting married although they couldn't really afford marriage or a family. Osiris came from a large Egyptian and Greek Pure-blooded family, who had money yet not enough for all of their children to feel the wealth. In contrast, Mediha came from an Egyptian Muggle family, who had no knowledge of how to emotionally support her through her life in the magic world not and no wealth to help her financially. But the two loved each other and starting a family seemed like the obvious. Osiris worked for an owl post in a small village in magical Egypt. Mediha worked for a children's preschool in the same village that they lived in. Between their two jobs, they had been able to barely save up enough to support having a child. Or maybe a couple of children down the line, but not very many. Their first child came on February 28th, 2015 - just short of their three year wedding anniversary. His name was Ramses Osiris el Rashidy and he was a calm and advanced child. Academically, he always succeeded. Socially, he was a natural-born leader and it was obvious he was destined to do great things for the family. Over the course of fourteen years, Osiris and Mediha had six more children - Tahirah in 2017, Salilah in 2018, Youssif in 2021, Malouli in 2023, Manetho in 2025, and lastly Zahra in 2029 (a bit of a surprise). The family already didn't have much money before that and each child caused more problems, but the couple loved their children and could never blame them for their situation. Mediha's parents helped take care of the children while the were working, so all of them were immersed appropriately in Muggle culture (or at least Egyptian Muggle culture). But as the oldest, Ramses was the last to be fooled by his parents' shenanigans. It was obvious they were struggling although he to this day has never discussed this with them. His first sign of magic came about when he was listening to his parents argue about finances. Something had happened to his maternal grandfather and his mother thought they should try to take care of them. It was taking a toll on her, and eventually also the very emotional seven year old boy (who could barely comprehend the situation). When he tried to comfort her afterwards, pretending to have not heard anything and have just accidentally caught her crying, he reached for her and a bouquet of flowers jumped from his hands. Ramses soon received his Dream Messenger from Uagadou and enrolled in the school. To this day, he still has the little inscribed stone that the dream left for him. After starting school, he became a very focused student and excelled in several subjects. Most of his time was spent studying, but the rest of his time was spent causing chaos with his friends. Despite recognizing his intelligence, his professors regarded him as a bit reckless and lost. Ramses had promise, but gave off the wrong impression to his professors and therefore was given up on. He excelled at everything he pursued, but by the time he approached graduation, he had started to give up on himself. After graduation, he worked as a waiter at a restaurant he had frequented during his teen years. While working there, he continued to live with his parents and helped them take care of the youngest three while the others were at school or work. Then he found a passion for something - technology - and started tinkering with it at home and testing it underneath magical environments and creatures. A couple years post-graduation, he struck a gold mine and mastered a means for technology being around magic. He started saving up for new pieces and perfecting his models before starting to sell them for profit. He brought his technology to the Ministry of Magic in Egypt and they supported his ventures, assuming it would make Egypt look better to have such advancements. That's what led Ramses to his success and running his own tech start-up with hundreds of employees beneath him. His parents and siblings are well taken care of as well as those of his employees. Things started to max out in Africa though and Ramses became more ambitious, wanting to pursue his influence in Europe in a more settled manner. He had sold product to people in Europe before, but didn't have an official branch there. And then here we are today, with Ramses making a temporary move to England to try his hand in the British economy. Most importantly, he wants to see if England is the place for him and if he can manage to start a family here. He's had nonstop flings and lovers since his teenage years, but has never found "the one" and been able to settle down. At 28 years old, he thinks his time is ticking away.

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!

His model is Rami Malek.

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!)

He is a 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!)

He doesn't have any special magical abilities, but he uses almost exclusively wandless magic since he attended Uagadou.

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?

He owns his own magical tech company.
