The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

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

Tatsuki's strengths lie in his observant nature, his politeness and his skills as a Beater while his weaknesses lie in his self-loathing, his tendency to jump to conclusions and running away whenever he feels at his weakest.

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not?

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

Strolling around if it's a sunny day. If it's not, then he'd be inside his apartment.

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


 * 1) Graduation picture — sentiment
 * 2) His wand — protection
 * 3) Graduation token — sentiment
 * 4) Glasses — he'd be blind otherwise
 * 5) Headphones — music

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

He doesnt't know, really, but he supposes it would be the neverending prejudice and discrimination. Honestly, it's getting old and it's the cause of majority of the world's problems.

The Character's Background

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (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!)  Amanogawa Tatsuki's life is told through sunrises and sunsets.

At sunrise, he is welcomed to the world, the third and youngest of Amanogawa Megumi and Amanogawa Ryuji's children and Amanogawa Heisuke and Amanogawa Kobato's imouto. At sunset, he loses a mother he's only seen once, the feeling of her loving fingers running through his cheek and the shine of her hair a distant, hazy memory.

He misses his okaa-san of course, especially when the sun greets him in the morning and it always felt like his okaa-san's loving touch, but Heisuke-niisan told him that it was his fault and that he had no right to miss her or even call her okaa-san. His otou-san and Kobato-neechan told him that Heisuke-niisan was wrong, but Tatsuki always felt that Heisuke-niisan was right all along, quietly apologising to his okaa-san as the sun sinks in the horizon.

His first brush with magic was when he was eight years old, the first rays of sunshine practically blinding him in the face, causing the curtains to move by themsleves to block out the sunlight. As his eyes were closed, he didn't realise that he did it himself and simply guessed that either his otou-san or Kobato-neechan had closed the curtains for him. His otou-san explained to him that he just had his first sign of magic and by sundown, he already knew the basics of theoretical magic.

Tatsuki first arrived at Mahoutokoro at age 9, his giant storm petrel landing near the front gates of the Mahoutokoro palace just as the first rays of the sun had appeared. His first years are lonely, nobody wanted to approach him nor were they interested in talking to him. Only his Kobato-neechan ever talked to him and even then she wasn't able to stay for long. He supposes that it's the work of his Heisuke-niisan, but he was never really sure.

Things changed on his first year at age 11, and they came by the name of Cho Ga-Eul and Jo Hyun-Woo. Tatsuki remembered meeting them just as the sun had dipped into the horizon, Gaeul's cute lisp and Hyunwoo's even cuter smile beckoning him to join them in a nighttime adventure. From there, his school life basically turned over. Gone was his niisan's presence as his social circle grew, from just Gaeul and Hyunwoo to an entire table full of noisy, but comfortable people. He even made a few from the upper years.

Second year was his first taste of Quidditch. Tatsuki was uncharacteristically excited for the try-outs, beating the sunrise by mere minutes just to get as much warm up and prep time as possible. To his surprise, most of his social circle had tried out too, all to show support for him. When he was told that it was all Hyunwoo's idea, his heart unknowingly fluttered, which made him quite confused but was quickly overlooked and forgotten by the time he gets told that he made the team along with most of his friends an hour before sundown.

When Tatsuki woke up from the first party Gaeul ever hosted in third year, Hyunwoo was sleeping comfortably in his arms. With early morning sunlight dancing on his skin and a soft murmured 'good morning', he realised that he had fallen for Hyunwoo hard and deep over the years. By their fourth year, Tatsuki confessed just as the sun set and the first stars of the evening appeared. When he found out that Hyunwoo reciprocated his feelings, Tatsuki was pretty sure nothing could ever the happiness he felt then and there.

During the three amazing years they had together, Gaeul noted that Tatsuki was the brightest that he had ever been. The year after he and Hyunwoo got together, his Heisuke-niisan graduated, setting Tatsuki free from him if only for a few years. When he and Hyunwoo were able to reach seventh year together, Tatsuki thought they would be for life. He was wrong. It was small, barely noticeable to first, but Hyunwoo was definitely falling out of love. His heart was slipping out of Tatsuki's grasp piece by piece and day by day. And Tatsuki couldn't do anything else but stand by and watch.

They broke up at sunset, eerily similar to the moment Tatsuki confessed three years ago. It was surprisingly calm, and Tatsuki was happy that he wasn't able to lose Hyunwoo's friendship as well.

Past graduation, everyone had gone their separate ways. Gaeul was off to South Korea with her fiancee Soona and Hyunwoo had dived into the world of literature and was off to the UK for a wedding. Meanwhile, Tatsuki was starting off his career in professional Quidditch, having been scouted right after graduation. Now taking a hiatus, Tatsuki decided to move to the UK, hoping to reunite with Hyunwoo again.

Sunrises and sunsets are everyday things for everyone else. But for Tatsuki, they represent the most critical and important points in his life. 

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? (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!)  For the most part, Tatsuki is a quiet and well-mannered person, incredibly mindful of another's personal space and need for privacy as much as he is for his own. The way he speaks and acts is incredibly polite, and he's respectful to anyone and everyone unless they have given him a reason not to be. Tatsuki tends to prefer to have his presence merely in the background, finding it to be unpleasant if he is ever in the centre of attention.

When around his close friends, Tatsuki is a little more relaxed, tends to show a bit of his dry humor and is a lot more affectionate. He has the habit of patting the head of his shorter friends, especially those who he finds cute. Though he still isn't one to initiate skinship, he is more open to it when it comes to his close friends. There are times, however rare they are, that Tatsuki is the first to initiate skinship, which means that person must be very special.

Tastuki is adept at picking up even the smallest minutiae of human behaviour, something he has developed over years of trying his best to not tick off his older brother, who particularly hates his very existence. More often than not, he has found himself silently admiring little quirks of people he meets and even adopting some of said quirks. Tatsuki finds it horribly embarrassing and often tries to clamp it down.

Because of his wallflower persona, it's quite surprising to know that Tatsuki is an excellent Quidditch player, having played the sport since he was 11 and his passion had been doing nothing but grow throughout the years. Though an all rounder, Tatsuki seems to prefer the Beater position over everything else. He's fierce and determined in the field with a laser-sharp focus and a sense of teamwork. Tatsuki is more a follower than a leader and thus has never considered taking the position of team captain.

When around his own family, especially his elder brother Heisuke, Tatsuki is more timid and soft-spoken, always keeping his head low and becoming even more of a shrinking violet than he already is. This is because he feels responsible and guilty for their mother's death and Heisuke never seems to make him forget that fact. Thus, Heisuke's treatment has sown the seeds of self-doubt and self-hatred deep in Tatsuki's heart and has been wrapping its thorny vines around Tatsuki's entire being ever since. 

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

4) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)?
