Forum:Florian von der Lüne

The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part is only a requirement for your third to fifteenth character! However, if you want to have more input on where you character is sorted, then please answer #6!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer.

He's very analytical and witty, which would be his greatest strength. His greatest weakness is probably his temper, which he's been known to lose occasionally.

2) What goals and objectives has your character set out in their life? Is it to be successful and rich? Is it to find happiness? Why?

He wants to become a wizarding meteorologist. His aim is to create a way of predicting the weather using magic and technology combined. He's got no idea how he'll do it though/

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

Reading, inventing random machines with spare bits. Reading by the beach at home.

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

His omnioculours, his glasses, and some books.

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

He'd probably change the way Wizards predict the weather.

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why? He'd want to be in Ravenclaw. It just makes sense. He's always had an affinity towards knowledge and the pursuit of it. He's ambitious, but ambitious to showcase his creativity and ideas.

The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. 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!) (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!)

''Florian has taken a keen interest in reading, especially muggle books on the weather. Living in a coastal English town, he is subject and familiar to the weirdest of weather, and more than anything he wants to know how it works, and how to predict it. Therefore, he reads a lot of science-y books, especially in the dark, thus resulting in him requiring glasses to help correct his vision.''

''Florian is very unassuming. But don't let this fool you. He's very quick witted and sarcastic. One wrong move, and he'll pick up on it easily, and make a joke out of it. He doesn't always do this, but is known to have made some excellent snide remarks every now and then.''

''He's usually very passive, but when threatened or irritated, he's been known to have quite a temper. This is also because he can be quite impulsive, and on occasion say things without thinking. This is something he's working on, though.''

2) Write about the history of your character. 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!) (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!)

''Florian von der Lüne was born to Audric and Freida von der Lüne. The von der Lüne family hailed from Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, and had historically been in command of the River Lüne, which is where they got their name. Audric and Freida were wealthy couple, but not quite as rich as their family history. You see, the von der Lünes (tr. 'of the Lune River) were a Noble family who had always been very well established for being stewards of Lünesburg and the river. From the early Medieval and Hanseatic periods, they looked after the town and the trade, that went to and from the river. Thus, they became known as the family of the River. As time went by, and the idea of nobility died in Germany, the von der Lünes became masters of commerce, merchants. They created a monopoly within Lünesburg, controlling what went in, and what came out. This way, they remained in control of the village.''

''All was well, until Audric became of a suitable age to marry. His parents wished for him to marry a girl from a rival business as his older brother, Elfric, had. However, Audric had other plans. His childhood sweetheart, Freida, and him were madly in love. When Freida told him that she was pregnant with his child, they decided that the best plan would be to elope, and leave the pressures of the family behind.''

''And so, Audric and Freida moved to the south of England, specifically Torquay, Devon. Florian was born, and he loved the little seaside town. Everything from the creaking floorboards of their detached manor house, to the cries of the gulls and the smell of the sea after a thunderstorm. Florian was a curious child, displaying his first sign of magic at six, when he dropped an icecream on the sand in the beach. Instead of crying, he just held his hand out, and the ice cream levitated back into his hand. At this point, his parents were aware of him being a wizard.''

''Therefore, it was no shock nor surprise when Florian received an acceptance letter to Hogwarts when he turned eleven. Florian was sorted into Ravenclaw house.''
