Forum:Finley Cahill

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.

'''Finley's strengths are his overall bright personality and accepting nature. His weaknesses are his tendency to hold off things until they matter and lying in an attempt to make it better.'''

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?

'''Finley's not thinking ahead in life. Right now, he likes taking his life day by day, and then decides from there, but he's truly unpredictable when it comes to these things.'''

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

'''Playing soccer, eating candy, being with friends. That's literally all. Oh, and getting to lay around at the end of the day.'''

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?
 * A pack of chewing gum
 * A soccer ball, signed by the Arsenal team
 * His 'artist's toolbox' 
 * Bob the stuffed animal
 * His school trunk

Simply because they're in his room right now.

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

'''The concept of studying only wizarding things. Muggle things are interesting too. Also, adding a P.E class to Hogwarts.'''

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

He likes the idea of being in Gryffindor, because he's totally enamored with the idea of being brave.

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!)

'''Finley is probably the brightest person in the world...when it comes to personality. He's a smol innocent bb who likes chewing gum and having fun. He's rarely seen not smiling and in a bright mood. If there's something that Finley is good at, is cheering people up and being cheerful himself. He's always making friends with everyone and playing around with his friends. He's a social butterfly through and through.'''

'''Some people would say Finley is over-enthusiastic. It's not his fault, but Finley is just easily excited and gets happy over the tiniest of reasons. He's optimistic about everything and anything and usually thinks the best of everyone around him. However, he's a very indecisive person who lives for the moment. He hates thinking ahead in the future and is usually content with what is happening now. He doesn't really have a real direction in life except to have fun.'''

'''He's not a hard worker and is kinda lazy, preferring to do things at his own pace. His curiosity likes to get him into trouble and when caught in deep sh*t, Finley is a natural liar to get himself out of trouble. But then again, he's fourteen. No one's smart at that age, and for that, everyone's willing to ignore those parts of him. Because after all, Finley is usually loveable and kid.'''

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!)

'''Moon Yoo-Sung was given up for adoption at birth. His mother gave birth inside the orphanage and left. However, at the age of three months, he was adopted by Korean-American Lena Kim and British William Cahill. His name on his birth certificate now read Finley William Cahill, and within a week, his home was London.'''

'''Finley's childhood was an easy one. His bright happy personality became apparent at a young age, so he was adored by his parents. However, as an active toddler and an active kid, his parents decided that one child was enough. As an only child, Finley was usually given everything as a child and participated in a large amount of activities. He pursued art and dance from the age of three, and took up soccer football at age five. It helped that his home was literally steps away from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, and he grew up as a passionate fan.'''

'''At school, Finley was a popular kid, always being invited anywhere and everywhere. He was a decently-behaved kid, although his natural curiosity naturally got him into trouble at times. Finley was an early bloomer when it came to magic, being only five when he came across a frightening dog. One bark and a scream from the owner's dog later, Finley had climbed up the tree. Events like these continued persistently for years until his 11th birthday, where a man in robes came to their house to explain that indeed, Finley was a wizard.'''

'''At Hogwarts, Finley's been himself so far. He's not exactly the best student in his class, but he's certainly the brightest and the one to have the most fun with. Currently, he is about to start his fourth year.'''

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!

'''Like his personality, Finley looks as bright as he is. He has straight short hair that is currently a dyed light orange, though it naturally it's black. His monolids also play a part in his usually unique looking appearance. He also has a brilliantly shining smile. Although he acts smol, Finley is actually very tol for his age and towers over everyone in his year. He's modeled by Sanha of Astro.'''

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!)

Unknown, presumably a muggle-born.

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!)

None.

6) What year is your character in?

Fourth Year.
