The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.


 * In every way possible, Clayton has wanted to honor his mothers and their legacy. He has an impeccable record, is very punctual, and always lives up to everyone's 'golden boy' image of him. He's polite at worst and charming at best, never failing to woo people with his amicable expressions and sweet words. Though honest, Clayton has been known to sugarcoat things - he has never wanted to harm anyone, not physically and most certainly not emotionally. That said, he is fairly good at punching. Though he tries not to resort to that, there have come moments where he's had to rely on his own wits and strength. Because he didn't - and doesn't, to this day - have a buff build, Clayton has always tried to rely more on his smarts than anything else. And because of this, he's a bit of a bookworm. Day in and day out, he strives to learn something new, and isn't afraid to spend hours on end reading up.


 * Although he doesn't want to define himself a 'jock', there's no point in denying Clayton really enjoys playing quidditch. Even if it's not to the point he'd absolutely melt down for it, there's no sport he doesn't get a kick out of playing. He's always been an inherently active person, and often struggles to stay in one place for more than five minutes at a time. Not only is he very active, but he's also very hyperaware. He tends to catch on to the smallest things, and the thing is - he remembers them later on. As stupid as they seem to be, Clayton has always been very attentive with details. By no means is it photographic memory or anything of the sorts, but he just tends to recall the stupidest details that might have pertained to something that happened years ago. It's a gift, he swears.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.


 * Born William Fowler to a fifteen year old girl from Los Angeles, California, and her rapist uncle, Clayton was a ward of the state from the moment he was born. With a biological mother who struggled to even look at him, biological grandparents who would sooner kill him than allow their child to keep him, and a father who was sicker in the head than anyone could ever imagine, Clayton was better off entering the system and being in it for as long as he was. Fortunately, however, he wasn't bounced from home to home for long, because a lesbian couple - Georgiana and Danielle Hargreave - soon caved into their years old desires to become mothers and ended up fostering him. Their time fostering him (approx. 3 months) grew into a lifelong connection only mothers could have with their child.


 * For the first five years of his life, William Fowler - now appropriately renamed Clayton Hargreave - thrived. He was an only child who was dotted on by his mothers, his grandparents, and everyone else they knew. He was a beautiful baby, but as he grew up, his mothers soon realized he was as devilish as he was handsome. Wherever he went, chaos would ensue. Toys would be thrown about, food would be slammed against the walls, paint would find its way onto the pristine walls of their home; Clayton was, in short, a nightmare they could never seem to get control over. However, his fifth birthday ushered in a new era that would change his life forever. His biological father, who had been released after the court infuriatingly found him innocent regarding the charges his niece had put against him. He clearly hadn't learned his lesson, because Emma Fowler ended up pregnant with another baby. Or, babies, is more like.


 * Clayton's full-blooded sisters ended up being adopted by Georgiana & Danielle. They hadn't planned on taking on any more children, as Clayton was enough of a handful, but they also didn't feel it would be right (or fair to their son) if they didn't take them in. Thus, Clayton was introduced several months later to Alexa (Lexie) and Michael (Mike) Hargreave, his new little brother and sister. Initially, he didn't wake well to them. Why would he? They were annoying little robots who could only poop, cry, and make him lose a good amount of sleep. However, as time progressed, he soon found them more and more intriguing, and it eventually got to the point where, upon his daily return from muggle elementary school back home in America, all he would do was play with them. He became the golden boy of the house, essentially, and strived to be the best big brother he could be.

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 Grant Gustin!

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 characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)


 * Clayton is a half-blooded wizard.

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)


 * Not that he's aware of.

6) What year is your character in?


 * Though a year behind, Clayton Hargreave is in his sixth year.

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?


 * Clayton would very likely plead the Sorting Hat to put him in Gryffindor, as he, like many Gryffindors, values chivalry above all else.

 * 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"?
