Asim's the strong, silent type. He doesn't talk much and there's a reason for that. He hasn't had a reason to since his family was killed at age six. He hasn't had a friend, as everyone has to fend for themselves on the streets. However, Asim really wants to be loved again. He remembers what that felt like, and he wants to feel that way again. Trouble is, he adamantly refuses to go into the orphanage. That means he's probably not going to have a family for a while yet. That's part of the reason Asim is so desperate to attend Hogwarts... he wants a friend like nothing else. That wizard told Asim that you make friends for life at Hogwarts.

Asim acts tough as nails and as though he doesn't need anything or anyone... but on the inside he's a teddy bear. No one knows that however, and Asim is bound and determined to keep it that way. He has a reputation on the streets that he has to keep. He's bound by that. Again that's another reason, Asim wants to attend Hogwarts. He can leave the reputation he has on the streets behind. What Asim doesn't realize though... he's kept the act up for so long that he probably won't be able to drop the act. It's become a part of him.

Based off the life Asim has led, it would be safe to assume that Asim's highly independent. He doesn't need anyone. Again, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to rely on someone else for once in five years. Just means he hasn't gotten the opportunity to do so. Hogwarts should be a land of opportunity for Asim. At least that's what he hopes for.

Asim's not a religious boy, but his family were devout Muslims and Asim may have prayed to Allah a few time at night after a particularly rough day... it would be nice to know someone is looking out for him, but he knows it's foolishness. This wizardry is against the entirety of the Qur'an. There's no way they can co-exist... can they? Anyways, all Asim really wants is the comfort that someone loves him... even if nobody else does.

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!)

Asim Sultan was born to wealthy family from Syria. Because he had seven brothers and sisters, Asim wasn't spoiled. Even before his family home was blown up, he had to work for what he had. His parents believed that unless you had to work for something... it wouldn't mean anything to you. This gave Asim a strong work-ethic which became very useful down the road.

Disaster struck the Sultan family when Asim was only six years old. Asim was outside playing with friends, when his home was destroyed by an airstrike. 'Collateral damage' was the term used to explain the death of his entire family and the destruction of the only home Asim had ever known. From that point forward, Asim was on his own.

Now, I should digress and explain something about Asim... he was adopted. But Asim didn't know that. His parents never told him, and they strictly forbade his older siblings from telling Asim. Asim's original heritage is much, much more interesting. His mother was a giant and his father was a Syrian Wizard. Somehow, his father and mother fell in love and a child was born, but shortly after Asim was born, his parents had a falling out and Asim wound up in an orphanage where the Sultan's adopted him. To this day, Asim doesn't know he's adopted or that he's a half-giant.

Of course, losing your whole family in an instant could have an affect on a child. Such as making them have their first magical sign at a below-average age. Asim was so shocked and confused that all he wanted to do was hide. He teleported himself across the city to the outer limits... which only confused him more. Not knowing what else to do, Asim took off into the Syrian desert.

His parents had taught him a few things about surviving by himself, so he knew where to get food and water. So for a solid year, Asim wandered around the desert with no clear destination in mind. Eventually he wound up in another city... in Saudi Arabia. Which luckily for Asim was not war-torn like his home country of Syria. Asim lived on the streets of that city in Saudi Arabia for a while, scrounging for food and water where ever he could. His half-giant heritage came in handy... especially when Asim had to fight for food and water.

This continued for three years, during that time Asim picked some things up about living on the streets and those three years shaped most of his personality. He's learned to be quiet and not show weakness. However, Asim always desired two things while in Saudi Arabia. Someone to care about him for once. Living as a street urchin tends to deny you that right.

Asim also wanted to wash his hands of the Middle East. As a young boy, Asim always wanted to visit England. He learned English in the hopes, he could one day visit. Finally on his tenth birthday, Asim decided to do just that. He stowed away on a ship bound for England. Eventually the ship docked in London and Asim jumped into London harbor to avoid detection. He almost got run over and cut up by propellors... multiple times. Eventually Asim clambered out, soaking wet and cold. Not a great start to his life in London.

Eventually Asim was noticed by a British Wizard. This British Wizard noticed something... different about Asim. It took awhile, but he eventually figured it out. Asim was magical. Not knowing what else to do, the wizard went down to Asim and offered him a meal. Asim had learned much from his time on the Saudi Arabian streets, and denying a meal would be going against all of that. So the wizard took Asim to the Leaky Cauldron and explained a few things to Asim.

Asim thought this man was crazy and when he offered to take Asim to the magical orphanage... he bolted. Out the door into Diagon Alley. That made Asim realize that what that man said was true, but he still wasn't about to stay in some orphanage. So once again, Asim was living on the streets... of Diagon Alley.

The wizard explained a lot to Asim and one of those things was Hogwarts. An education sounds pretty good to Asim... trouble is it costs money. But being a street urchin teaches you a few things. One of those is pick-pocketing. So that's what Asim has done. He steals the money he needs to buy hand-me-down supplies and has stored them in a run-down building in Diagon Alley. He's fiercely protective of that building and won't let anyone near it. He's managed to buy everything he needs... other than his wand. That will be his last purchase.
