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.

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?

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!)

 Charles Rockefeller is the oldest child of Franklin and Diane Rockefeller. Franklin, Charles' father was a member of the wealthy Rockefeller family that had extremely deep roots in the magical American entertainment industry. Their family can trace those roots all the way back to prohibition where they ran speakeasies and were one of the most prominent sources for getting whiskey. Their ancestors were radio hosts, actors, musicians, really anything and everything that related to the entertainment industry. They are also one of the most philanthropic families in the the world, let alone America.

Charles, being the oldest Rockefeller child had a big mantle to live up to. His father was one of most legendary members of the Rockefeller America had seen in a long while. He was a very well respected actor, and very well known for being exceedingly generous with his wealth, setting up dozens of charities. Charles saw this and knew that's what it meant to be a real man, a real human being. To not be afraid to show emotion and to always be there to assist those less fortunate. Charles' mother, Diane, was an amazing singer, and Charles inherited that skill and love for music. Combine that with the philanthropic attitude he got from his father, and you wind up with someone who from a very young age became a very well known singer and guitarist. Especially because his songs never failed to speak about deep problematic social issues that permeated American culture.

Charles did attend Ilvermorny, at least for a little while. Eventually, Charles' own fame became too much however and he dropped out to pursue his career in music. He promised his family he would hire himself a tutor and take his NEWTs, but he felt he had an obligation to use the gift he had been given. His parents understood that and supported him, so at the age of 16, Charles dropped out of Ilvermorny. Less than a year later, Charles had assembled the slew of singles he had released plus some new songs into an album. Charles then went on tour and secretly started work on his new album, that way he would never have to stop being on tour. A promise, he, for the most part has followed through on. 

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!)

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!)

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!)

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?

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

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!
