The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.


 * + ambitious
 * + w o r k e t h i c. like. what the hell. most adults should take a leaf out of his book.
 * + brilliant, not genius level, but damn brilliant
 * - a little too self-aware
 * - unnecessarily harsh
 * - literally just most of his personality

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why?

'''"Why do you care?" He looks more than a little miffed that you've disturbed him. "Instead of being a pain, maybe ask yourself those questions? You need them since it doesn't look like you're going anywhere in life."'''

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?

'''Outside, preferably a garden. A greenhouse would work. Somewhere away from people, where he doesn't have to deal with their silliness. He wouldn't mind wild animals and would bring snacks for them.'''

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?

'''First of all, that's plain unrealistic. Second of all, what is this, a pay to win game where you have to buy inventory slots? Bull. Yuki can survive on the clothes on his back and that's all the thought he'll be giving on the matter.'''

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?

'''He's had little to no exposure to the more magical side of things, so he wouldn't know the slightest damned thing. Maybe they could refine their unreliable system for tracking down children with magic, because really, how inefficient and stupid can the authorities be? Oh. Wait. Yeah.'''

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?

God forbid he gets sorted into the house of fluffy badgers and sunshine and warmth because how about no.

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!)

oh you were so bright it hurt but they took your eyes and crushed them underfoot until the gloss was only a glimmer your teeth are no longer broken and crooked but they fished them out one by one and planted them in the hollows of your chest for so long they've been there you forgot that the heart's humming is not shrill but steady the milk of your mother stilled so did the shine of your skin and this time, you took what was left of your bones and sold them for steel there ain't nothing for a child with a broken heart copper, silver, bronze even at gold, your cruelty was unbidden foul, you called at every peeking opportunity at the fourth door, you locked away your laugh at the fifth, your tears the key, one with your veins spliced open, led back to a chamber of screams the sun left you its glare but it is only a splinter of a whole steep falls, brick walls your sight never strayed from the fears you held so dear  your brands were false but all the doors were shut the sun reached for you and its grasp raked deep, its nails too eager jagged ice and smooth rock that you knew too well they were not of this absurd and brilliant it was in your mind's eye through your lashes, the walls thinned you never could understand the gentle weight on your shoulder for they stole away your sun long ago without thought, without measure your sky mended by a smile a smile you had given up had forgotten in the eaves of what was once you 

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!)

yuki samuel sugiyama isn't japanese. he should probably tell everyone that, including the clueless professors who assume the cute mahoutokoro transferee three seats away from him is yuki sugiyama, but it doesn't really matter because papers are passed out magically and correctly. he hopes so anyway. his adoptive parents are japanese; his mother is a fucking angel, he swears, and his dad is an eccentric who is, in modern slang, "relatable af." his birth name isn't yuki. forget about trying to get him to tell you. he hates it. he almost didn't keep the "samuel" in his name.

even though he's a "pureblood" or whatever that shit is all about, yuki had an upbringing with next to no knowledge of the fact that he can make things explode by blinking. his muggle parents knew more about it than he: one of his mom's ex classmates was magic, and his dad had seen his fair share of how insane reality could be. yuki never really cared. there were more important things, such as getting "adjusted" to put it the way his therapist did and not being too reliant on his new parents. while he's been having the blast of his life on the first front (not), he's gotten really good at being useful at everything he can think of. too good, that on his second month at his new home, his mom took him aside and told him he ought not to overwork himself. no, she quickly added, not because she thought he was fragile, but because a little pacing is good for everyone. he couldn't keep to that, but he does eat a lot more than he used to do to sate her worries.

are his biological parents dead? is that why he's adopted? to him, yes, they might as well be rotting six feet under. he won't talk about it. nobody can make him. he likely couldn't even if he tried.

no one can deny his ambition. god damn if the kid isn't more obtrusive than a mouse, but the children couldn't pick on him back in muggle school. neither conscious nor unconscious effort would single out yuki sugiyama as someone to be teased. for one, he was damn crazy good at all the sports, all the classes, and that was without baking cookies or running errands for the teachers. he was prickly, unafraid of ruffling some feathers, and would have been the center of school conflict if it weren't for the fact that he was just better. not even in the arrogant way. wherever yuki sugiyama came from, he knew how to fight, and he did it well. it was nothing ever serious, nothing beyond adding to the anxiety of the headmaster on "what the hell do i do with this boy", and yuki didn't come home with bruised knuckles.

his mom theorized it was just how intimidating yuki could be. his dad said it was the bad boy aura. "kenshin, he is NOT you." "and what's wrong with me? you did marry me." and yuki would get that glint in his eyes that stated, he wanted to smile at how ridiculous they were being.

then came the owl, through a blockaded chimney in their house that they never used, and for the next three days his mum was genuinely pissed at how archaic and inconvenient a method of communication it was. to add salt to the wound, a strange man in robes popped up (out, actually, of the fucking. fire. in the fireplace. that was not there. five minutes ago.) to explain everything to them. yuki was so sure he would be sent back that night. his parents had been expecting to raise a child, not a fucking warlock. morning came and went though, and the only thing he was told to pack was his excitement, because they were sending him shopping in a place called diagon alley. he didn't, but some part of him couldn't deny the relief he indulged in as well as the bag of heavy coins for his school supplies.

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!

i have a model in mind.

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 Harry Potter characters!)

the only time he's really gonna be pure tbh

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 has the magical ability to be incredibly rude without trying.

6) What year is your character in?

1st in upcoming year

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

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" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?

lmao does this even matter when half of them are going to be dropped because no one bothers with them ZZZZZZZ

2 exotics
