Forum:Robin Matthews

Note: I'll come back to this forum and answer the multiple choice & open-ended questions once he's closer to Hogwarts age.

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!)

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!)


 * Robin's not really a developed little boy, but from what's been seen, he's a sweet little boy. Though he's shy, he still has a curious nature and is often found asking a lot of questions. He's smart, at least for a kid his age, and often behaves more maturely than the rest of the orphans, both younger and older. That said, he can't sit still for more than a couple minutes at a time. He's never quiet, he's never still. He's always on the move, wondering about everything. Really, the only way you could sit him down and get him to shut up for a while, is by bribing him with food. It's his only weakness.


 * Robin's never really had a family. It's what he's yearned. After years of watching kids younger than him come and go, he's come to terms with the fact he'll never have a family. He'll never be loved. It's just going to be him, for God knows how long. He's very group-oriented and likes to be with other kids, but more often than not he's left behind. He's gotten used to it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. He's just learned to... well, to bottle it up. It's something he'll likely do for the rest of his life, truth be told. Not like anyone could possibly care, really, but whatever. He would probably just turn out like the rest of the orphans above the age of one. Permanently damaged goods.

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!)


 * Robin's biological father was a sperm donor, while his biological mother was a single muggle with no family to care for. She was well and truly alone, something she did want to fix. As an orphan herself, with no siblings, she's originally turned towards adoption, but she soon found she couldn't bring herself to adopt. Not when she could still have a child of her own. And while the possibility to adopt and love that child were big... she knew that love and affection wouldn't be nearly enough like the love she'd have for a child of her own. So what did she do? She turned towards artificial insemination.

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 FC is Raphael Alejandro.

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

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!)


 * No

6) What year is your character in?


 * He's seven years old.

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)?


 * 9/1
