The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Christopher is a man of darkness and shadows. He is the king of secrets. He is the monsters that lurk under your beds. Christopher is not a man of kindness and gentleness. Instead, he is the man that walks in everyone’s darkest nightmares. He is cold and distant, never connecting to anyone or anything, and his mind is always going five steps ahead. He is dangerous and creative. Christopher is one of the most dangerous people that anyone had ever or ever will meet.

He is particularly unhinged. Christopher has been compared to a male Bellatrix Lestrange, what with how he is so cold and harsh towards everyone. No one can ever get him to smile or smirk, not even his own parents at this point. Christopher, in fact, is an extremely dangerous and mentally unstable threat to the peaceful lives of the British Wizarding Community. While handling his own reputation, and keeping away from the law, Christopher takes quite a bit of involvement in tricks and killing.

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. Christopher Halstrom, born Michael James Hall, was a normal little boy growing up. His mother was a psychiatrist, a muggle one for that matter, working in a nearby clinic. His father was a real estate agent, working in the town about an hour’s drive away from their countryside house. He grew up under the care of his mother when she wasn’t at work, and spending a few hours with his father every weekend. However, the peace and contentment that Christopher took for granted would be suddenly disturbed. Returning home from the bus stop down the way, he found his house in ruins. Flames licked the bodies of his parents, and it was at the age of eight that his magic manifested. He screamed, absolutely devastated by the loss, and the flames almost immediately vanished. When the aurors got there, they found Christopher kneeling in the ashes, sobbing over his parents’ bodies.

He was taken to the orphanage, Lil Bundles, and placed in their care. But barely a month after his official guardianship was solidified, he was being picked on by older orphans. With the bullying, Christopher turned his attention to ways to injure and/or kill them in revenge for all the hurt that they inflicted. However, his plans were forced to the wayside, as he was starting school. Much to his surprise, he was sorted into Hufflepuff. To this day, no one knows why he was sorted into the house of the loyal, only that he was. His years at school passed normally, with him diving more into the studies of animagus transformations in his fifth year. In his seventh year, he succeeded in transforming into his animagus form, that of a black cat.

After graduation, Christopher officially changed his name, and begun his plans that were so long in coming. His first targets were the bullies of his years at the orphanage, and using his animagus form, killed them in the night and escaped again with no one being the wiser. One autumn day, heading down Knockturn Alley, Christopher quite literally ran into a group of others like him. Over the coming weeks, they begun to plan ways to terrify the Wizarding populations of the United Kingdom, and settled on a killing spree. Targeting people of all species and colors, Christopher is quite looking forwards to the coming chaos... especially since it means that he’ll get more practice honing his killing methods.
