The Open-Ended Questions

A. Please answer the following questions as elaborately as possible. (Remember, this part doesn't have to be filled out if it's an expansion character!)

1) What would you consider to be your character's strengths, and your character's weaknesses? Elaborate on your answer. Oliver is a very optimistic person who tries to see the good and beauty in life. But because of 'this' he can be a little blind to reality and he tries to work on that. He's also a very non-judgemental 'person,' but gets really down on himself. 'Basically' there's a con to every pro.

2) Has your character's life played out the way they wanted? Have they achieved the goals they set out for their life? Why, or why not? Oliver's life has turned out as well as he could have hoped for. He knows that he has a lot of it left to live, and wonders what could happen during that time. 

3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so? His free day would be spent photographing around London and trying to test his skills and abilities to see what kind of pictures he could come up with. He loves to create works of art using his camera. 

4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why? 1.His Wand  2.His Camera  3.Custom Made Hoodie  4. Father's Watch

5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why? He'd like to see the wizarding society be more accepting of muggles and muggle-borns, and wishes that they wouldn't be so looked down upon. 

The Character's Background

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. (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!)

'''Oliver was the only child born to Louie and Elizabeth Lancaster in London, England. The muggle-born wizarding family was one of love and support and when Oliver was born he was immediately doted on and coddled. A lot of people said that his parents were smothering him, but little Oliver didn't mind.'''

'''His home was quiet, despite living in the bustling city. His parents made a humble living and they had a small but nice apartment at the edge of the city. Oliver really liked his life, it was simple and happy and he couldn't have been more of an optimistic little boy.'''

'Oliver's first signs of magic actually appeared when something wasn't'' happy and he didn't take it too well. He had gotten burned, and his mother had snapped at him a little for being reckless. This caused Oliver to burst into tears and using his magic to heal himself in the process.'''

'''It's safe to say that his parents were thrilled to learn that their son wasn't a squib, but at the same time that meant they'd have to send their only child off to school. And so when the time came, it took his parents a lot to let him go off to Hogwarts for the school year.'''

'Oliver on the other hand absolutely adored'' Hogwarts and all it had to offer, he blossomed in the atmosphere in school and grew into quite the person while he was there. Having the two friends that he did helped him along as well, and everything was going 'good' until he started to discover boys.'''

'He always knew that he didn't like girls, there was just something off'' about them that Oliver didn't like and he could never put his finger on it. Boys 'on the other hand' were amazing, and Oliver liked them a lot. He was 15 when he started realizing his sexuality and coming to terms that he was homosexual instead of straight and coming to the realization that he had to tell his parents.'''

'''During the summer before his 6th year, Oliver had the hardest 'talk' in his life with his parents about his sexuality. Coming out was more than difficult for him, and his parents were somewhat accepting. His mother was all for it, but his dad wasn't that ecstatic. He was still supportive of his son, but Oliver knew that his dad wasn't that proud.'''

'''It really hurt Oliver but he did his best to let it go, there was nothing he could do to change his dad and he had to live his life. His last two years at Hogwarts were hard as he was growing into an adult, but he pushed through with the help of his friends. After graduation, Oliver moved into the main part of London to be closer to work.'''

'''Oliver works as a photographer throughout London and England. He's very content with his life, despite the quarrels he has with his father every now and then, and the only thing that could make it better was if he had someone to share it with.'''

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? (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!)

'''Oliver is just a regular guy who wants to live life and have a good one. He's trying to do what he knows best to make the most out of his life and so he tries to be optimistic and have a positive outlook on life. Because of this, he's a generally happy person, but that does not mean that he's lacking a sense of humor.'''

'''Oliver is a very funny guy and has a great sense of humor. He's always brought up to the front of parties to tell jokes and is expected to make a crowd laugh. He also can be sarcastic when needed, but always plays it off cool and doesn't make cutting remarks about people... Unless they really deserve it.'''

'''He likes to do photography and has a little studio in his apartment. Photography helps him relax and he loves to see the world through the lens of a camera and take on the challenge of a 2D world. His photos are very beautiful or eye-catching and have been gaining some attention of some very famous people throughout Europe.'''

'''Despite all of this, Oliver is actually an introvert. It's not that he hates socializing, it's just he'd rather hang out with two close friends then party with complete strangers. He likes personal connections and close relationships and wants one for himself. He's always hoping that he'll be able to fall in love like in the movies, but honestly thinks it'll never happen to a guy like him.'''
