Forum:Lysander Vigne

Please put ~ here.

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.

Lysander was born on the 24th June 1994 to Henri and Veronique Vigne in Quebec, Canada. His father worked in international law, while his mother was a socialite and often made trips to the second family home in New York. Thus Lysander was often left in Quebec with a nanny and pretty much let loose. He was a troublemaker as a child, always digging things up and pulling pranks on the other kids. His magical abilities appeared at a young age, and he once “accidentally” set a wardrobe on fire when playing about with sparks in his bedroom and generally making the poor nanny’s life a misery. When his parents found out about his magic, they kept a tighter leash on his behaviour to make sure that Lys behaved himself and didn’t hurt anyone by accident, as recommended by his uncle who was of magical blood. At the age of 12, Lys was sent to Beauxbatons, as his Quebecois parents wanted him to appreciate his French heritage, rather than Hogwarts or its American alternative.

His father proudly bought him his first wand, apple-wood with a core of unicorn hair and was thus shipped off to Beauxbatons. Lys quickly picked up French and became quite popular. He wasn’t always the best student and reports commented that Lys lacked the motivation to follow through his potential. His father often threatened to cut his allowance or send him to a military school, which forced Lys to study and somehow glide through his studies without making a whole big deal of effort. He passed with exceeds expectations, and had an internship lined up with the school, which he defaulted to go party with muggles in Thailand, and spent most of his inheritance hiding from the fallout, travelling across the Americas, and also travelling around Europe. After running out of money, he had to ship himself off and get back in touch with his parents. He got sent some money, which he used to travel to Hogsmeade and get himself a job under the pretence of travelling to London for an internship. He bought himself a nice apartment there and is currently looking for a job.

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?:

Lysander is very chilled out. He’s never had to worry about anything and so far, has coasted through life by virtue of his charm, good looks and his parent’s influence. As a Beauxbatons student, Lysander was reasonably popular and often got himself into trouble. He’s always shied away from taking any responsibility, and never bothered about grades. His parents have put enormous pressure on him to follow his father’s footsteps and go into international magical law or work with the wizenmagot. In response, Lysander has merely ignored them and done his own thing, preferring to party and try to appreciate life before tying himself down. Internally, the idea of settling down is one that frightens him. Overall Lysander is a good guy, though he has a long way to go before he can say that he's developed as a person since his school days. His status as a muggle-born often leaves him feeling like he needs to prove his magical abilities or be popular to make up for it.

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!)

Lysander is muggle-born. He has inherited magical abilities through his uncle on his father’s side. His uncle is a prominent politician, and has close ties with several prominent figures in the wizarding world.

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 likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!)

Lysander has no prominent magical abilities that are unavailable to other wizards; however he has an affinity for charms-work and quidditch, and he has a guilty interest in the secrets of wand-lore.

5) Describe your character's profession. Do you plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Lysander is currently unemployed, having emmigrated to England after spending his gap year travelling around the Americas, mainly Salem and the exotic jungles of the amazon. His father and uncle have asked him to take an internship back home in Canada, however Lys has refused and said that he has already found a placement in London, having had run off with the last of his allowance. He has moved up to Hogsmeade in hopes of finding a job and actually figuring out what he wants to do with his life.

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

Lys is single. He is bisexual, though he leans towards men slightly and has had a few relationships during his time in Beauxbatons. However most of the relationships haven't worked out, as he has always been too lazy to actually do anything romantic or they left after figuring out that he was going nowhere with his life.
