The Character's Background

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

Sekani's a pretty chill person. Growing up in a place with so much tension has taught him to take advantage of the few times where he can let loose so he typically acts in the present rather than dwell in the past or jump to the future. Despite it, he's still highly sensitive about his familial situation and likes to avoid talking about anything relating to his family. Be warned though, if you make a joke about his imprisoned mother, he will punch you in the face just like all the kids he punched in Brooklyn for the same thing. That's the one type of humor he can't tolerate.

Besides that, Sekani usually uses humor to deal with grief and stressful situations as well as normal life. Him cracking a joke in the most serious of times is pretty standard, and instead of panicking about a test, he'll probably laugh about how badly he'll fail it, and then continue to study. That's just the type of awkward person he is. He goes with the flow most of the time and lets the wind take him wherever it feels like taking him. Music is kind of his thing and he especially loves Jazz.

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.

Growing up on the streets of Brooklyn, everything's simple. You stay out of the police's way, hope nobody shoots you, keep drugs out your hands, and stay in school, and maybe, if you're real lucky, you'll end up with the big shots. Seven's father grasped the idea and to followed it to a T, and now he runs a barbershop on the corner. Not bad but could be better. His mother threw the whole concept out the window and now she's sitting in prison for the next fifteen years. Sekani sees her once a year.

Sekani's father always used his mother as an example of why you should "stay out of trouble", and for awhile, he did. And then he didn't because trouble began to follow him. He got suspended the first week of fifth grade, and came back more caring less than he did before about following rules. And then one night his dad was closing up shop late so he was heading home later than usually, past the imaginary curfew that people who knew well enough used to stay inside. Police pulled him over and the rest was history.

At first, the death hurt a lot, especially because he was ten. But then it slowly got better. With his mom still in prison, Social Services sent him to his aunt and uncle in the UK, and wouldn't you know, turns out his aunt and uncle were magical. None of them knew Sekani was a wizard since he was a late bloomer when it came to magic. His first sign came just a couple of months before the letter came and even then, it was kind of late. He wanted fresh flowers for his aunt and bam there they were, except they were growing from nowhere and oh, look, now they're thirteen feet tall. That's a problem.

After that incident, his aunt and uncle took more caution in watching him to make sure he didn't do anymore accidental magical until his letter came. Then the letter came, and while Sekani personally could care less, his aunt and uncle seemed uncharacteristically thrilled. Well, guess now he's going to a school for magic kids. Abracadabra.

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!

Sekani's model is Tyrel Jackson Williams.

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!)

Muggleborn.

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!)

No.

6) What year is your character in?

First.

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?

''Gryffindor, because they seem like chill people. Plus who doesn't mind fierce and loyal bffs?''

OOC Questions

B. Whilst the first two questions will not affect the character's house (and are mandatory), the others are designed specifically to help users come up with their character's ideal job (and are optional).

1) Is this your first character?


 * A. This is my first character.


 * 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"?

2/10.

3) What would people who know your character well say they're really good at?

4) What do they really want to avoid in their future job/career? Do they hate working in an office? Do they hate the field?

5) Aside from family and peers, what motivates your character the most in life? What drives their passion?

6) Where does your character's weaknesses lie?

7) Wand cores and woods speak volumes about a person's character. What is your character's wand? Why does it answer to them?
