6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. 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!)

'''Tom is, in the simplest of terms, a boy of peculiar character. Though quite introvertive and very shy, when he does have the courage to speak he is quite a silvertounge, spouting word after word of charismatic dialouge, capable of winning anyone to his side. Yet, Tom has an abnormally stong moral code, and would not take advantage of this trait unless absolutely neccesary. '''

'''He is quite ostentatious some times, as he is quite a troublemaker and, being so, trouble has often come along with it. Smart and quick thinking, he can come up with a plan and execute it quickly, which comes in handy in these types of situation. With a knack for making friends, he stays with them forever and will stand by them even in the most dire of situations. Though this is important, if he is betrayed by someone close to him, he shall not easily forget, and is not against taving revenge. '''

'''He cares more in some situations about animals than he does people, as he finds them easier to talk to. though he easily falls into romantic feelings for people, due mainly to his lack of courage, it can be rather challenging for him to act upon these feelings. More than everything, what he craves is a good adventure, especially when he can break some rules along the way.'''

7) Write about the 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. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!)

'''Thomas "Tom" Angelo Boulstridge was born approximatley 11 years ago on February 27th to Carter Maverick Boulstridge, a member of the Department of Magical Equipment Control and Anne Marie Boulstridge (née Burmgange), a squib. Their third and youngest child (after brother Jason, twelve years elder and sister Marianne, seven years elder), Tom's parents were unaware that he posessed magical abilities until he was the age of four, his brother having been a squib and his sister having been a witch. It was at this age that, whilst his parents were both off at work, babe Tom caused his babysitter Alice to simply fall through the floor down to the basement below, where she prominently broke both of her legs. Though this caused his parents quite a good deal of grief, they were both very happy to learn of their child's gift. In the years that followed, his parents along with his sister (who began at Hogwarts only a month following Tom's incident) began to allow him deeper into the world of magic, teaching him a few basic spells but leaving still a lot for the professors when he would hopefully begin his years at Hogwarts.'''

'''In later years, the boy began to become more and more mischevious, soon taking an interest in the products offered by sellers such as Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Figuring them out rather quickly with the use of his quick thinking mind, he caused quite a bit of trouble for his parents in the next few years. Begin to tinker with them a bit himself, he began to slowly progress in this rather specific branch of magic. He also quickly began to have an interest in his father's work, especially when more complex and ingenious magical equipment was involved. Beginnning doing research of his own, he soon became a self proclaimed expert in the field of magical objects, their effects and how to handle them.'''

'''However, it was not long until tragedy struck. When tom was the age of 8, his mother, Anne Marie was captured, tortured and killed by an anti-squib wizard criminal by the name of Bernard Lockfellow. This completely crushed his father, who was plunged into a deep state of depression, along with scarring the rest of the family permenantly. However, through the tragedy, Tom and the rest of his family reunited and, though Jason had a family of his own in Northeastern Germany, Marianne agreedto stay with them for a while, not only to help care for her grieving father, but also to help further prepare Tom, who, if everything was to go correctly, would soon be joining Hogwarts. In the next couple of years, the two grew very close and eventually, a few days after Tom's 11th birthday, he did indeed recieve from a passing owl, an admission letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.''' 8) Write about your character's appearance. How 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! He is tall for his age, standing at about 1.52 metres (~5 feet) and weighing in at around 46 KG (~101 LBs), a little bit under the average for his height. He is of average build, getting a decent amount of exercize during his mischevious adventures. He has unkempt, somewhat shaggy brown hair, only a small bit darker than his eyes. He has a long and slender face, similar to his fingers which move faster than the eye can blink. He has long legs, descently muscular and good for running. He likes to dress nicely, usually wearing button up shirts and occasionally ties over his t-shirts and regular jeans and dress shoes. He has also taken to wearing simple white gloves so to stop from leaving fingerprints wherever he goes in case he gets into trouble.

9) 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!)

Tom is a Half-Blood, and his grandfather Burtram was once a very famous auror during his time, Tom's father following in his footsteps however in a slightly different direction, still joining the Ministry yet instead joining the Department of Magical Equipment Control.

10) 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 likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!) No, as this is my first character.

11) What year is your character in? If your character is a first year or a transfer, would you like them to be part of the Sorting Ceremony? (This would mean not receiving your house until the RPed ceremony.)

Tom is a first year, however I would not like them to be part of the sorting ceremony.

Any House You DO NOT Want to Be In? (No Promises, Sorry) I would prefer Tom not be put in Hufflepuff.

Any House You REALLY Want to Be In? (Sorry, Again, No Promises) Not really.
