Forum:Jae Woo-Seong

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!)

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

Strengths: Outgoing, charismatic, charming, good at problem solving, clever, creative, and persistant

Weaknesses: Over-confident, cocky, hides feelings, secretly insecure of himself, and puts up a cold front when confronted about emotions

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?

Jae looks to find success as a professional quidditch player, while settling down with a nice girl along the way. From the moment he was born, his father had wanted him and his brother to become quidditch players. While he entertained his father's wishes, his brother had always wanted to do something else. When his older brother quit quidditch, he knew he had no option other than to be the quidditch player his father always wanted him to be. Though, if he could do anything, he'd want to be an artist. But that's not a part of his plan now that he's his father's last hope. He still paints in his free time, however.

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

He would love to grab an ice cream cone and relax at the park. He'd bring along some painting supplies so that he could capture the landscape's beauty in a canvas. He loves ice cream and painting - so it's pretty much the perfect day for Jae. There really isn't anything he'd rather do than that.

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

His broom, canvas, paints, brushes, and his Mother's necklace. He'd keep his broom because he'd still want to be able to play quidditch, and he'd keep his art supplies because he wouldn't want to give up his passion. His mother gave him her necklace she made before she passed away when he was younger, so he'd want to hold on to that to keep her memory.

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

Nothing really. He likes things the way they are.

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

He'd want to be in Ravenclaw because he feels he'd fit in well with that house due to his personality. He wouldn't mind being in another house, he'd just prefer to be in Ravenclaw over the other three.

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!)

Jae is a very charming individual who knows how to sweet talk just about anyone. He uses his good looks and smooth-talking to get what he wants - no magic needed. He's extremely cocky about his intelligence and talent, not to mention how confident he is about his looks. He enjoys flirting and teasing with those around him, but he puts up a harsh front when things get too emotional. He'd rather come off as a jerk than to let you know what he's truly feeling. He also assumes a cold nature when confronted about his family. Despite his carefree appearance, he is very bitter towards his family and still harbors hard feelings concerning them.

On the contrary to his playboy attitude, Jae is very gentle and caring. He enjoys doing nice things for people, but he'd die before showing you that side of him. He cares deeply about his friends, but the closer you get to him, the colder he seems. He puts up walls so that people don't see how vulnerable he truly is. Jae gets his thoughtful nature from his late mother which is most likely why he acts the way he does. He doesn't want a reminder of his mother's death, even if it means concealing his own personality.

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!)

Jae Woo was born on July 7 in Seoul, South Korea to Joon and Jan Seong. Growing up, Jae always felt as if he were living in the shadow of his older brother Hyo. When they would play quidditch, Jae would always try to out-do his brother. In all honesty, Jae was a natural at the game in contrast to Hyo who had to practice constanly to even stand a chance at winning. However, Jae never noticed his brother's efforts as he continued to get better at the game as he grew. In fact, it seemed as if he was destined for the game. When he was only six, he had already made his broom rise and fly on his command. It wasn't easy by any means, but he was determined to be better than his elder.

While their little competition continued, Jan became ill and was hospitalized. She was sick for only a couple of weeks before she passed away, leaving three heatbroken boys behind when Jae was but nine years old. Joon grew cold and distant after his wife's passing and harped on the boys even more now. Soon enough, Hyo grew tired of trying so hard when it was obvious that Jae was better at quidditch - besides, he didn't even want to play quidditch anyway - so he quit and moved out to live on his own.

Wishing for a fresh start, Joon moved with Jae to London where he sent Jae to Hogwarts, a school notorious for its quidditch teams, as soon as he turned eleven. Without the competition of his brother, Jae felt obligated to pursue quidditch with all his heart. However, he now had more time to explore his other interests too. He grew fond of painting, much like his mother. Like her, Jae had a talent for art. He still had his mother's necklace as a memento of her passion and who she was. She'd made it a few days before she became ill. It was the shape of a puzzle piece and had Jae's initials engraved on the back. She had told him that it was okay to still be figuring out where he belonged, just like a piece to a puzzle. It was the last thing she was able to craft, and that meant the world to Jae. Painting was his way of feeling closer to her - that, and the small piece that always hung around his neck.

Currently, Jae was in his fourth year. He continued to both play quidditch and paint whenever he had free time away from his studies. Despite his time consuming activities, he managed to make excellent scores in all of his classes. He made a habit of flirting around, keeping his personality entirely aloof to distract himself from his inner emotions. He'd much rather pretend that everything is fine than to face the pain he really felt. And so that's what he did. He would never let people get close enough to see the real hurt he felt. He'd just make good grades, play quidditch, and be the good son he was supposed to be. But maybe one day, he might be able to be more than that.

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 will be Kim Bum.

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!)

Half-Blood; no notable relations

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!)

Jae is very good at quidditch and excels within his classes. While his is highly intelligent, he doesn't really have any special abilities.

6) What year is your character in?

4th
