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.

'''Santino's strengths would consist of the following: his devotion to his family, his strong sense of work ethic and his strong moral compass. Santino would do anything, anytime, anyplace for his family. They're his whole world and he truly doesn't know where he'd be without them. He's got a very strong work ethic and has worked his butt off for what he has. 'The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary' is probably his favorite quote of all time. He has a very strong moral compass and he refuses to cross under any circumstances. He believes that he owes the world a favor and is repaying that debt by staying on the good side of things.'''

'''Santino is also stubborn as a mule. He refuses to give ground on certain things and there is no help of changing his mind. He's also a little demanding of his children, expecting that they get good marks, work hard and never, under any circumstances break the law. He does out of love, though. He wants to raise his kids right.'''

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?

'''Santino is very goal-oriented so you can bet, that every goal he's set has been met. Once he gets a goal in mind, absolutely nothing can deter him.'''

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

His ideal day would spending time with his children and wife at the beach back home, without having to worry about possible assassination attempts.

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

'''1. His wedding ring. He absolutely refuses to take it off under any circumstances. It's a symbol of devotion and love for his wife.'''

'''2. His locket. It contains a picture of his wife on one side and his children on the other. Like his ring, he refuses to take it off.'''

'''3. His wand. He needs it to protect his family and there is nothing taking that away from him.'''

'''4. The photograph of his and Emilia's wedding day. He keeps it on his night stand so that he can be reminded on the commitment he made on that day.'''

'''5. The notebook he vented to in his youth. When he became frustrated with his family and their evil way he would turn to writing to keep his head. There's some private information in there that he'd rather keep just that... private.'''

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

'''Santino would eliminate all crime. Yes, he realizes it's impossible and that he'd be out of a job... but he'd feel redeemed in the eyes of the world.'''

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!)

'''Santino Allegri is the oldest son of Antonio and Adriana Allegri. Four years after Santino was born, Adriana had identical baby girls named Ada and Anastasia. Two years after the girls were born, the Allegri's had their youngest child, a boy named Alonzo. By all outward appearances, the Allegri's were a normal family. Antonio was a moderately successful businessman and Adriana was a housewife. However the Allegri's had a dirty little secret... they were members of a powerful Mafia clan. Antonio wasn't a businessman and Adriana wasn't a housewife. Antonio was a hitman and Adriana had her hands in corrupting politicians and the police. Santino didn't like what his family was doing at all but he didn't have much choice. If his family found out he was a good guy, he'd be outcast. And at 12 years old, that's not an option. So Santino acted like he was ready and raring to get into the business. He was a model son. But it was all a ruse. He hated his family, but he didn't see a good way to get out of it. Santino attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, where he was sorted into Ombrelune. It was at Beauxbatons that he met the love of his life, Emilia Di Bernando. She was also Italian, and also tied to the Mafia. But while Santino's family was in Palemero, Emilia's was in Naples. Emilia was a fifth year, while Santino was a sixth year. The pair quickly fell in love and started dating. On the day of Emilia's graduation, Santino proposed. Emilia accepted and the pair were married in December of that year. Not long after their marriage, Emilia became pregnant with her first child. That's when things came crashing down around Santino. He wasn't about to let his child live with the Mafia. So he betrayed his family. He went to the cops and told them everything and became a mole. It wasn't very long after that the cops stormed Santino's childhood home. As Santino was the only one graduated, he was the only one not home. Santino's entire family was arrested and they all thought Santino was smart enough to escape. Which he was. Santino and Emilia fled Palemero and settled down in Mirto, one of the bigger wizarding communities in Italy. Eventually Emilia gave birth to her eldest son, Michelangelo Santino. A couple years later, Emilia had twins. A boy named Enzo and a girl named Mesalina. Then a year or so after them, Emilia had their last child named Gabriella. Things continued as normal for the Italian family. After getting his family arrested, Santino was offered a job as an Auror, which he accepted. His knowledge of the Italian underworld became an invaluable resource for the Italian ministry. Unfortunately for Santino that also put a target on his back. But his family was left alone. However Santino still worried so at some point he decided enough was enough and talked with Emilia about moving someplace safer. England, specifically. The couple agreed and the Allegri family left Italy for good.'''

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!)

'''Santino has a very strict moral code that he refuses to cross, under any circumstances. He did enough bending of ethics in his youth. There won't be any more of that, and he wants to do anything he can to redeem himself in the eyes of the world. He's determined to raise his kids right. Not the way he had to be brought up. He expects a lot from them, but that's out of love. His theory is that if he's strict and demanding, it'll teach them discipline. The discipline needed to stay on the good side of the law. Santino's very protective of his family and would walk through fire and bullets for them. They're his anchor to the right side of the law and if they were gone... there's no telling what Santino would do. But you could probably expect some sort of Punisher-style revenge plot to emerge. That being said, he loves all his kids equally. Of course, he loves his wife more... but that's different. Santino absolutely hated it when his own father picked favorites. Mostly because Santino was usually dead last. To most people, Santino can come off as cold and distant. He's not, really. Honest. He just doesn't trust people very easily. Probably a leftover trait from his childhood that he's never been able to stamp out fully. If you trusted someone in the underworld... you had better be pretty damn sure this person could be trusted. So it takes a lot for Santino to open up to a new person. Plus his sheer height and muscle mass are more than a little intimidating. To his family, Santino is warm and friendly. Unless you're in trouble. And his kids can attest to this... Santino can be utterly terrifying when he wants to be. The people he's locked up can double verify this fact. But unless you've done something you shouldn't have and Santino trusts you... he's very kind and patient. He's a very good shoulder to lean on after a long day at work. Overall, Santino's a pretty great dad. Or he likes to think he is.'''
