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!)


 * Remember in the history when I said that the Obliviate charm still follows him round? Good, cause Jack doesn't. The effects of whatever spell was cast upon him has messed with his head to this very day, as Jack's convinced that it must have left holes in his short-term memory. Literal holes. You see, Jack has a habit of forgetting things. Mostly minor, insignificant things - when dinner time is, where he left his belongings, what day or month it is. Other times, it's slightly bigger; his date of birth, other people's names... he's even forgotten his own name a couple times. Luckily one of his friends is often there to remind him, and if not, he'll just make one up for the time being. He does that for a lot of things; if he can't remember something, he'll just make something up in place of it. He's certainly spilled some tales over the years he can recall.


 * But sometimes, it goes deeper than just short-term. The lines between right and wrong are somewhat blurred for Jack, simply because... well, he can't remember what they are. He won't think twice about stealing or lying or even manipulating, simply because he doesn't understand what he's done wrong half the time. The realisation that what he just did maybe was a bit of a dick move will often hit half way through his punishment, but sometimes it doesn't return whatsoever, and he spends the day confused as to why he's being shouted at.


 * Outside all the memory problems (and when he's aware that thievery is indeed against the law), Jack's a sweet kid. He's a little ray of sunshine, and no, it isn't his hair - the guy's just a naturally happy person. He's incredibly clumsy, often says dorky comments and comes out with silly jokes and puns, and his shoelaces will always be untied (how do you tie them again?). Sometimes he can be very gullible, other times he'll struggle to take anything seriously, but he knows how to have a laugh and that's important for a kid. He's also very creative - don't let him loose with a paintbrush, your walls will be orange, but give him clay and a sculpting knife and he'll be making all sorts of figurines.


 * He's also a huge romantic. Even though he's young, he loves romance films, adores love songs, and thinks Valentines cards are a work of art. He's more than subject to having starry-eyed crushes on every cute girl he sees, and just you wait until you hear about how he chose his name.

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!)


 * Jack's sure he must have lived through the first eight years of his life - he's still here, definitely alive and not a spirit in denial - but he can't remember them. Anything and everything before his eight birthday (which he thankfully remembers... for some reason) is just a black void, an empty page, which he often likes to decorate himself because no one else is going to.


 * What he's more than certain of, however, is that his memory loss wasn't caused by a trauma or blow to the head. It was an extremely, extremely powerful Obliviate charm, or some other memory erasing spell. How does he know that? Because it still follows him around to this day. (He'll explain more in the personality because this section will unfortunately be very short.)


 * His earliest memory is waking up in a bed in Lil' Bundles, with a very large, very scary child's face directly in his sight, peering at him curiously. Ever since he's resided there, enjoying the company and making up multiple stories about his past to tell the gullible toddlers. He even has a book he writes all his tales in - he tried hiding it once, and then failed when he forgot where it was.

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!


 * JackSmall.gifJack's wild mop of bright ginger hair has been the only thing that's stuck with him throughout his life - he can't escape it, no matter how much he tries to charm it to change colours (sometimes he prays to become a Metamorphmagus). He's pale as a sheet and his lanky, gangly physique is covered head to toe in freckles. Often clad in just an old hand-me-down t-shirt and jeans, appearance is the last thing on Jack's mind - as long as he doesn't look like he just crawled out of a skip, he'll do. His model is Cameron Monaghan.

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!)


 * He doesn't remember.

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!)


 * None.

11) What year is your character in?


 * He's 10, so he's in Lil Bundles right now.
