1) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Please include both the model's name and a picture.
Brock O'Hurn
Zelos is, unfortunately in his opinion, the spitting image of his father. They are identical in almost every way, if it wasn't so cute when he was a child it would be disturbing. He looks like Aquaman if he stepped right off the pages of a comic book. He looks like Beast (Prince Adam), from Beauty and the Beast, after he turns back into a human again. He's got long, shoulder length, light brown hair with blondish sun streaks. He's got the most expressive brow and eye catching stare complimented by crystal blue eyes. His complexion can be described as sun-kissed and no better term is more fitting. He’s incredibly tall, well over 6 feet. And he’s got a muscular, sturdily built physique.
2) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? This does include a roleplayed family. (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)
Half-Blood
3) Is your character considered Exotic? If so, what category do they fall under? Part or half of that magical race counts! Remember, you must do at least two questions related to your exotic in the interview!
Yes {Clairvoyant/Clairaudient}
4) What is your character's profession? Does your character plan to enrol your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?
He's a Healer and certifiable Mental Magician (he's skilled in Psychiatry)
5) How old is your character?
40
Main set
Remember you must answer at least ten questions with substantial detail. However, the more questions you do, the less detail we ask of you. This excludes any compulsory questions. So eleven questions in total. All answers must be answered in-character, as if you are role-playing them being interviewed. Please note, you can answer the questions in internal thoughts if the character doesn't want to verbally answer it! We do ask that you don't hide any detail from us.
What was your first incident of magic and how old were you? (Compulsory)
"I made my sister Lyssa cough up slugs and slime." He chuckles softly and lowers his gaze as he thinks back to that memory. "She kicked this street cat that used to follow me around. It hadn't done anything to her except rub it's head on her leg. It didn't hiss, bite or scratch her. It had usually been smart enough to stay away from her. I think Lyssa was jealous that it liked me. Either way I didn't like what she'd done. The next thing I knew she was the Queen of Slugs for about two minutes."
"Not really." He shakes his head and pushes his lips to one side, "I suppose it happens to people all the time. I don't see it happening for me though."
Have you ever been in love? If so, with who? If not, do you want to be in love?
"I've had very intense crushes in my youth and I've had passionate relationships in the past. If I had to say I was ever in love with anyone I'd say it was with Leah Hughes." He smiled. "She's been a close friend of mine since childhood. We've always kept in touch even when the choices we made in life led to us drifting apart."
How do you want to be remembered by the people around you?
"I love to do phrasal template word games (Mad Libs). I grew up doing them with my brother, my sister too on occasion but not as often. It's silly and it's absolutely the easiest trick I can do to relax. The perfect instant stress reliever. What does the opposite paperwork. I'v never enjoyed writing papers and or filing paperwork of any kind. I detested doing homework, I did it like I was supposed to but I didn't like it. Except for my favorite subjects, then it isn't as torturous."
Were you close with your family growing up? If not-why?
"Not in the fantastical way that people imagine a family should be. I was close with my brother, I've always looked up to him. My sister hates me, she probably will for the rest of time. I'm positive my father wishes I was never born. He doesn't usually say much more than three or four words to me, that might be why I think that."
If you weren’t raised by your parents, who did? How did you find yourself in this position?
"My siblings and I were raised by separate caregivers, babysitters, nannies. My sister had Roz, my brother has Lily, and I had Tina. Our father essentially bought each of us a replacement mother after ours died. It gave him an excuse to not have to deal with any of us, and him the chance to do whatever it was he pleased without the three burdens he brought into this world."
What would you say to your younger self and what would they think of you?
"I would tell my younger self that he's got a lot of hard work ahead of him. And I would want to remind myself of what Tina always told me; “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.” Even though I didn't understand it, it motivated me to keep trying."
"I like think I would continue to doing what makes me happy. I plan on being a healthcare professional for as long as I am able in whatever capacity is most beneficial to my community."
"As a child I recall wanting to not be like my father or sister. I wouldn't say it was my dream, I guess that's would've been what I do now. Being a Healer, helping people and making a difference in their lives."
If you’re not native to the UK, where were you born and how did you end up in the UK?
"I was born here, in Wales. My father is from Scotland after my parents met my mother moved to Scotland to be with him. After they were married and before they had a few kids she wanted to move back to Wales."
Would you rather have endless money or endless amount of love? why?
"I've heard that I have kind eyes, and I have been described as a teddybear on more than one occasion. I'm not sure about the teddybear thing, but I can agree with the kind eyes."
How much effort do you put into fashion and appearance? Do you have a personal ‘aesthetic’?
"I'm a man with long hair and a beard. I think that says a lot about my personal opinion about appearance right there. I'd go with 'Hipster lumberjack' if I've got to pick something."
What is your guilty pleasure? Do you try and fight it?
"Animals, more specifically strays or rescues. I've adopted four cast and five dogs, so far. I have a weakness for plants too, although that fits into what I do for work so it can't possibly count."
Do you believe people can be given a second chance?
"Conscientiously, I'd be attentive and communicative. My significant other would constantly be on my mind. Not in an obsessive way, I'd simply want my person to feel loved, unconditionally."
"No, I don't take it seriously. I do read them sometimes. And I do spend time thinking back to something I may have read when I feel that it's rung true to my own life."
How do you react to negative emotions? How do you react to positive emotions?
"If I've done enough work on my bedside manner my reactions are quite calm. Possibly even mildly disturbing in how little may have seemed to register, I've got an excellent poker face."
"I sort of always knew I belonged in Hufflepuff, I will admit I wanted to be in Ravenclaw because they probably have the best if not second best reputation."
What are your interpretations on each Hogwart house? Why?
"My interpretations are deep-seated because of my family. My father was in Slytherin as was my sister, my mother was supposedly in Ravenclaw and my brother was in Gryffindor. That made it clear to me that Slytherin are typically bad people, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are saints and guardians. I didn't have an impression of Hufflepuff as a boy, it was mysterious to me. I suppose now I'd call them survivors."
If you could go to any other magical school other than Hogwarts, which one? Why?
"I'd choose Ilvermorny or Mahoutokoro. The school in the Us only because they supposedly have they are the most medically advanced country. I'd choose Mahoutokoro because of the challenge of being in a completely new country learning an entirely new language. They do day school and give giant storm petrel rides."
"My father is the head of a lucrative potion ingredient harvesting empire. I'm not sure what my mother did, I know she was a Healer and that she dreamed of working for the Ministry of Magic."
Do you think you're prejudiced or have a certain bias?
"I very well might. I've never been presented with an instance in which I can say I've felt that way. I'm not sure how I'd feel in a more highly charged situation. I'd like to tell you I'm not prejudiced at all if I knew it to be true. I've never met anyone who I thought wasn't almost exactly like me."
Are you happy with the path that you've found yourself on? How would you change it if you could?
"I'm financially stable. I work as a Healer, and Psychiatrist when I can find that more specific kind of work. I rely on myself entirely. I'd rather not spread my personal burden on anyone else."

Comments[]
Zelos Pope has been registered as a citizen by the British Ministry of Magic!
"Upon the signature of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, wizards went into hiding for good. It was natural, perhaps, that they formed their own small communities within a community."
Been through some bad shit, I should be a savage, who woulda thought it'd turn me to a sad bitch?
