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.
Duke is very intelligent, and too curious for his own good. But, he can get overly involved in his quest to get answers, which can be both detrimental to him, and annoying to other people.
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?
Duke's life would have been 100% better if his parents accepted him and his brother.
3) What's their ideal way of spending a free day? Why so?
Practicing Wandless magic or trying to learn non-verbal.
4) If your character could only keep 5 possessions, what would they be? Why?
A book on magical theory, a trinket from magnus, his wand, food, and water. Duh.
5) What one thing would your character change about the wizarding society? Why?
How wizards treat each other maybe?
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!)
Anja and Edvard Voll bonded through their mutual experience of being squibs. The two got married, and eventually, bore a child away from their hometown of Stavanger, Norway after migrating to Bergen. Duke Sylvester Voll was born soon after that, and when he turned two, his younger brother, Kasper, was born. The two were raised in a non-magical, muggle lifestyle, which their parents adopted after being shunned and disowned by their own families for their inability to perform magic. After Kasper, their mother adopted the lifestyle of a stay at home mother, which left Edvard as the breadwinner as a cardiologist.
The two never imagined that the magical gene would pass from them to their children - They didn't even realize they had a magical gene. Still, they proved them very wrong. Duke came first, at the young age of eight. It was after that that Duke learned about the magical world- And a much darker, more unusual part of life. After the revealing of his magic, a simple item floating around his bedroom, Duke was given the cold shoulder by his parents, who seemed to dislike magic more than anything in the world. For those first two years, Duke felt very alone. But soon after, two years after himself, Kasper showed a sign of magic. After being separated from their friends, pulled out of school, and disconnected from the rest of society, the boys only had each other to rely on in the coming years. All this changed after Anja and Edvard got into a car accident, leaving the boys to the next of kin.
The next living relative to them was a blind man by the name of Magnus. He was much kinder to the boys than their parents were, and he loved the boys like they were his own - And vice versa. The boys learned much from him and their confidence was slowly regaining. Soon, Magnus had explained that they would head to Hogwarts to learn how to control their magic. Duke was the first to go, and soon after him, was Kasper.
Duke was already in his second year as Kasper joined. While the two boys were still thick as thieves, Duke had to leave school before Kasper. While he was exploring life as an adult, with Magnus helping him along through, he still keeps an eye on his little brother. Currently, Duke is considering jobs, as he is unsure what he wants to do in life. But for him, life is unpredictable and the world is his oyster. For now, he is attempting to gain a job somewhere in London, or Diagon Alley.
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!)
Duke is a very brilliant boy. Actually, he always was, really. His parents never appreciated that part of him, so Duke learned quickly to not boast about it, else he'll get told to stop being such a rude boy, or something like that. Because of this feared reaction, Duke stays quiet, keeps to himself. He sometimes gets curious about things and won't stop until he gets an answer, despite if it offends someone or not. He doesn't enjoy offending people. Au Contraire, he loves people. Duke likes to help those in need. In the smallest way possible. But he'll still try. Say, money. Magnus doesn't have much and he knows that, so Duke only gives that which HE has. He's a kind person who also gives fairly good advice.
Duke is overall, fairly quiet, not enjoying the spotlight at all no matter how eccentric he can be. He hates liars, abusive people, and people who are rude to other and he tries his very best not to be like those people. Still, his quietness can be percieved as rude or something like that. He prefers to let others talk. Duke is very caring, especially to those he loves. Almost a father or brother figure to most. At least, he tries to be.
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!)
Halfblood?
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 like? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have one as your first two characters!)
Due to practicing it a lot and generally being curious at to how it works, Duke is adept (Though not proficient) as wandless magic.
5) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?
Either Department of Mysteries or Borgin and Burkes
6) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?
Single, gay.
7) What about your character's appearance? What do they look like? Feel free to write down what they look like! If you're using any FC, you can put a picture here! Please state the character's faceclaim!
