Please put ~ here.

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.

Vasilius' strengths lie in his intellect and his passion for knowledge, but his weaknesses is that he's too serious when it comes to his studies, often neglecting his health in favour of pulling all-nighters.

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?

Sort of. He's now what he wanted to be; freelance writer and flute teacher.

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

Studying studying and studying. Vasilius is someone who loves to suck in knowledge like a sponge.

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


 * His encyclopaedias — again, thirst for knowledge
 * His flute — yes he does have hobbies other than burying his nose in his books
 * Family photo — self explanatory
 * Eyeglasses — his eyesight is basically 240p without them okay he'd fall into a ditch and die without em
 * His MP3 — he likes to listen to music when he studies

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

Hello he is here to ask society to stop being a collectively judgemental mofo because he'd like people to approach him and not be intimidated by his apparent resting b**chface okay.

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!)

Jo Kyung's family was pretty well off despite having 8 children, owning a chain of hotels all around South Korea and a part of Europe, mostly around the countries in the Mediterranean, which means Kyung was able to go around the continent visiting the various cities where their hotels were located. When his parents told them that they'd be immigrating to Greece right after his graduation from Mahoutokoro, it wasn't much of a big change to the Jo children seeing as they've already learnt the language and culture.

It was in Greece that Kyung met Galatea Metaxas, the daughter of his father's business partner and most probably the most intelligent woman Kyung ever encountered. Through Galatea, he met Theseus Sakellarios and Alejandra in extension. All four ended up working for the Greek Ministry. Eventually, Galatea and Kyung, and Theseus and Alejandra ended up being wed.

The Jo couple had six children, with their eldest child Glykeria being born not a year after their marriage. Melina, Vasilius, Varvara, Silas, and finally Gavriil followed, all with one or two year intervals.

Vasilius Hyunwoo Jo is their third child and eldest son, born two years after Melina. Even at a young age, he showed an impressive intellect and a passion for knowledge, sucking up facts like a sponge, more specifically in the areas of music and psychology, an unusual mix. Unlike other children, Vasilius actually asked for tutoring sessions and advanced lessons, the curriculum for his age group not satisfying his thirst. By the time his youngest brother Gavriil was born, Vasilius had a steadily growing collection of books of all subjects. The boy had also assigned himself as his younger siblings' tutor, a fact he was very proud of.

Glykeria and Melina often joked that the amount of time he spent reading books was the reason for his resting b**ch face, often commenting that he looks really scary whenever he is deep in his reading. Vasilius was concerned at first, but eventually embraced this weird trait of his. It did decrease his chances in socialising, but Vasilius was too busy burying his nose deeper into his books to care.

The Jo family kept close ties with the Sakellarios family, not even wavering when Theseus became the head of the department of Magical Law Enforcement and Alejandra became the Senior Undersecretary. Because of this, the Jo children grew up with the Sakellarios children. Vasilius was the same age as Malia Sakellarios and the two clicked, even with their wildly differing personalities, Vasilius preferring to stay sedentary with a book while Malia was out enjoying the outside world.

Everything was as peaceful as you expect it to be, until Perseus died when Vasilius and Malia were six years old. From there, it was a horrible domino effect. Alejandra followed her husband with a necklace of rope, scarring Malia who was the one to discover her mother's corpse. Vasilius noticed Malia change from that day, drawing gruesome illustrations of Alejandra's corpse and causing odd things to happen around her. Magic and PTSD don't work well together, Vasilius figured out. The youngin tried to help Malia cope, but even he couldn't do anything. Kyung and Galatea tried their best to help the orphaned children through until Phoebe and Achilles managed to get jobs at the Ministry.

However, come their eleventh birthday, Vasilius and Malia went to different Magic schools, Vasilius to the local one with the other Sakellarios siblings while Malia went to Hogwarts. It did upset Vasilius quite a bit, but he soon came to terms that Malia needed a change of scenery. They could still keep in touch using letters after all.

Once Galatea and Kyung were sure that the Sakellarios children can take care of themselves well enough, they decided that the Jo family themselves needed a change of scenery too in Vasilius' third year. The Jo children were introduced to their father's homeland and culture in South Korea and continued their schooling in Kyung's alma mater, Mahoutokoro, with Vasilius adjusting to the fact that people call him Hyunwoo now.

The rest of Vasilius schooling years went uneventfully, passing with flying colours and well on his way on succeeding in life. Of course, Vasilius was able to pick up some boyfriends along the way, but none of them ever stuck with Vasilius claiming that he 'didn't feel a spark' with any of them. But one thing was for sure, he was straighter than a perfect circle, something his family was surprisingly accepting of. His little coming out of the closet gave his younger sibling Varvara enough courage to reveal her own bi-ness on Vasilius's seventh year.

As Vasilius wasn't the eldest child in the family, he wasn't set to inherit the chain of hotels his family owns, instead only inheriting his share of the fortune and given freedom to choose any career. He chose to be a freelance writer and flute instructor.

What made Vasilius return to the Western world was one wedding invitation from his favourite person, but unfortunately a ruckus at the Korean Ministry stopped the creation of international Portkeys for two weeks, forcing Vasilius to take a Muggle plane instead and miss the wedding. However, he is looking to make it up to Malia once he orients himself in the UK first.

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!)

Cursed with a resting b**chface, Vasilius gives off an unnapproachable and cold aura, something that is a double-edged sword for him. It can repel people he doesn't like, but it also repels people he does like. Sure, he's been blessed by Aphrodite with his pretty face and cat-like features, but nobody really wants to approach a person with an RBF if they don't want to get dragged roughly down the slopes of their dignity.

If someone is brave enough to approach him, they'd discover that his personality is miles away from his aura. He is, as his close friends say, 'a complete freakin' doof'. While he looks stone cold outside, Vasilius is really very soft and kind of squishy. He's really easy to get along with if you just try... and also easy to take advantage of. Vasilius is aware of this but he does know his limits. If a person goes too far, it's rest in pieces for them. Vasilius knows how to take care of himself, okay? No, hyung and noona, he doesn't need protection.

Vasilius is a natural scholar, having the highest affinity for anything knowledge-related among his siblings. Though he doesn't possess photographic memory or any of that sort, he does have a study habit that teachers would be proud of. His ability to organise, prioritise and compromise is something to be noted and his diplomatic skills are thanks to his parents.

One side of Vasilius that can rarely be seen by other people is his cheekier and arguably more annoying side, reserved especially for people he holds close the most. Whenever he's around his closest ties, he's innuendos and puns and lowkey sass galore. Feline eyes have a hint of a mischievous spark in them as his seemingly bitchy aura blends together with his squishy personality, teasing words flowing easily out of his mouth with the corners of his lips forming a semi-smirk, semi-smile.

Just because Vasilius is a serious person when it comes to studying and basically everything intellect-related doesn't mean he can't enjoy a meme or two. If you listen carefully, Vasilius would mutter out memes under his breath. He's not just a meme lord, okay? He's THE meme lord.

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!)

Half-Blood

4) 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 one as your first two characters!)

NONE :D

5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Freelance writer and flute teacher

6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Single pringle and straight as a circle

7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!
