Forum:Denton Lenton

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.


 * "My strength? Oh, wow, ummm... I guess... I'm pretty laidback? As for my weakness... that's pretty easy. My hecking name. Ugh."

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?


 * "I just want to change my name. Please, someone, take me to change my name. That's all I want, all I need. A new name. You can call me Trashbag Lenton for all I care, I just don't want to be Denton Lenton."

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


 * "My ideal way of spending a free day would definitely be going to the Ministry to change my name. I mean, Denton Lenton? For heck's sake, give me a break."

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


 * "Five things I'd keep? Well, I'd keep my iPod and my earphones, so that's two. I'd keep a backpack with another set of clothes and an iPod charger, because knowing my luck something bad would happen to what I'm wearing and I'd run out of battery, and then I'd also keep... food, definitely. And my dad's batting gloves."

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


 * "Forget about the wizarding society, I'd change my own goddamn luck-o-metre."

6) What house does your character want to be in? What house does your character not want to be in? Why?


 * "I honestly don't even care what house I'm in. I'll say I don't want one, and knowing my luck, that's gonna be my house."

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!)


 * Sawyer's luck is so incredibly shitty. His luck-o-metre? Below negatives, if that's even possible. He hates his name - he downright hates it. He's learned to cope with it, though. (Not really.) Honestly, Sawyer is just a frustrated kid who misses his old life. He tends to be very impatient and can get snappy when it happens. He gets worked up really easily, but is surprisingly good at managing that unless you're amazing at getting under his skin. He's very oblivious, too. He struggles to differentiate what's wrong from what's right and thus tends to get in trouble a lot, or overstep.


 * Sawyer is actually a very active guy. He's always out and about. From jogging, to playing all kinds of muggle (and wizarding) sports. He's actually turned towards sports to deal with his emotions. It makes sense, giving his heritage, but still. For instance, he's a great baseball player - his new guardians even signed him up for the muggle league. He's also good at quidditch, but unfortunately there's no mini league yet. All of these sports help him work his thoughts out and relax, so he's always very willing to try new things that could help him.


 * He's messy. Oh, man, he's the king of messes. He leaves his sports gear all around the house, he can go weeks without cleaning out his room, and his general hang-out area is completely littered. He tends to be very forgetful, so things like cleaning after himself and making sure everything is in its place kind of slips his mind. Not that it worries him much - he almost always finds what he needs. Almost. He's... chaotically organized. He comes across as a pig, but really, he's not. He doesn't try to, anyways.


 * His forgetfulness has actually become a bit of a problem. Unless it's related to sports, he'll probably forget whatever it is he should probably retain. That's why you can see lists of things to do or things to get all across his arms and other parts of his body, like his torso, and little notes all around his living space. He has to remember somehow, and he can't do it on his own, so sticky notes it is. This will prove to be a challenge once he goes to Hogwarts, but he trusts he'll be able to get it in check by then. Hopefully. Maybe.

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!)


 * Denton was not born a Lenton, let me assure you. Emilee and Andy would never have named him such - or at least Emilee wouldn't have allowed it. Denton Sawyer Lenton was originally born Denton Sawyer Ainsworth. He's the son of popular American baseball player for the Mets (and squib) Lucas Ainsworth and Holyhead Harpies player Felicity Adley. The two were known worldwide, though of course, in different worlds. The former was one of the most famous baseball players ever, whilst Felicity made it to be one of the best chasers in the world on-record, with just her amount of goals.


 * They met at a baseball match, as a matter of fact. The two were avid sports fanatics for each other's worlds, and thus had a lot to talk about when they bumped into each other. They got along right off the bat. I mean, why wouldn't they? Sports was a very big part of their lives, and they had two worlds to talk about. It seemed it went a little too well, because next thing you know, they're planning to go on a date before Felicity left New York for England. That one date led to another, and another, and another, until Lucas found himself popping the question.


 * Their wedding was a small one. Their immediate family and teams were the ones to attend, whether they were muggles or not, as it was officiated in New York, in a muggle chapel. Emilee Lenton (nee Stanton) was the maid of honor, whilst Mets player Alex Ruiz was the best man. It was a beautiful affair, and a quick one, too, as it seemed the two people being celebrated wanted to disappear for their honeymoon already. It made sense - they'd withheld from sexual intercourse until they were married, in their honeymoon.


 * Denton Sawyer Ainworth was the honeymoon baby.

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!



His FC is Jack Dylan Grazer.

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 Harry Potter characters!)


 * Half-Blood

5) 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 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?


 * He's nine! :)

OOC Questions

C. These do not affect what house you're sorted to, but everybody must answer them!

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" (of a different magical race/have a special ability)?


 * Gurl, I don't even know. It changes by the hour. 6/1, I think? 7/1? Idk.
