  Full Name: Benjamin Ross Foster
  
  
  Nicknames: His friends and teammates call him Ben or Foster. He was usually called Benji as a child, but since starting school at Hogwarts has insisted no one call him that. However, he doesn't mind when Alex uses the nickname.
  
  
  Gender: Male
  
  
  Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
  
  
  Romantic Orientation: Homoromantic
  
  
  Age: 17
  
  
  Day of Birth: January 30th
  
  
  Nationality: English
  
  
  House: Slytherin
  
  
  Wand: His wand is simple yet elegantly carved from spruce, a design that contrasts the flamboyant nature of the wood. It's color is a light brown, length 12 and a half inches, more on the rigid side, and the core is dragon heartstring.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Hair Color: Naturally, his hair is a medium brown, but most of it has lightened due to sun exposure.
  
  
  Hair Style: He's known amongst many Hogwarts Quidditch fans for his "windblown waves".
  
  
  Eye Color: He has hazel eyes that seem to shift between green and light brown, depending on the lighting.
  
  
  Skin Tone: His skin is fair, more prone to tanning than it is burning.
  
  
  Body Type: He stands right between 6 feet and 6'1, though he claims to be closer to the latter height. Despite not being allowed to play in official matches, he still does conditioning and practice with the Quidditch team, causing him to have a lean build with particularly well-defined arms and torso. He's not necessarily very muscular though, as muscle mass would slow him down as a chaser.
  
  
  Clothing Style: Out of uniform, he dresses quite stylishly, a symbol of his family's status. His wardrobe consists of many button ups, cardigans, sweaters, and well-fitted jeans. Despite this, he can often be found in sweatpants and graphic tees emblazoned with his favorite Quidditch teams' logos. He tends to dress more casually on campus, and more stylishly when going to Hogsmeade or seeing family.
  
  
  Accessories: He has an enchanted watch from his mom that acts similarly to a muggle's smart watch. It can tell the time in any timezone and display the position of the stars. It can also keep track of events and appointments like a calendar and set alarms.
  
  
  Other Distinguishing Features: He has mole on the right corner of his upper lip and scarred knees and elbows from practicing Quidditch without proper padding.

  Description: Benjamin has the classic Slytherin traits that make him perceived as both charming and obnoxious. He has a sharp wit and an equally as sharp tongue. His hunger for power isn't extreme enough to be dark, but he definitely takes power where he can find it, whether that be among peers, in the classroom, or in the bedroom. He is very controlling and possessive of things and people he values. His conceit is quite noticeable, from the way he holds himself to how he looks others over. He's doesn't form close bonds easily. His friends will say that the only deeply cares for his rats. He's often inconsiderate of other's emotions and likes to tease everyone. He's quite sadistic. He can be very cruel toward those he sees himself as vastly better than but is more inclined to verbal insults than physical violence. He wouldn't swing the first punch, but wouldn't hesitate to fight back.
  
  
  Likes: winter (snow, hot butterbeer, layered clothing, snuggling, christmas lights and music), rats (doesn't show much interest in other animals), being right, peppermint, Quidditch, flying
  
  
  Dislikes: attachment, birds, losing, magical plants
  
  
  Good at: Quidditch, singing (his mother almost made him audition for Frog Choir)
  
  
  Bad at: staying awake during History of Magic class, cooking
  
  
  Fears: Venomous Tentacula, Fanged Geranium, being unable to play Quidditch, disappointing his father
  
  
  Ambition: to become a chaser for the Puddlemore United Quidditch Team

  Father: Ross Foster was very accomplished during his years at Hogwarts. He was a Slytherin prefect and played keeper on their Quidditch team. He maintained good grades and left behind high expectations for Benjamin. He went on to take over the position of Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic when Dolores Umbridge was imprisoned. He's often very busy with work but made a point to spend time with Benjamin when he was young, teaching him Quidditch and taking him to see games. He's become more distant the longer Benjamin goes to Hogwarts, and Ben misses how close he used to be to his dad.
  
  
  Mother: Olivia Jennings Foster didn't have an exceptionally exciting high school career like her husband. She was in Ravenclaw and excelled in Herbology. They met when Ross asked her to help him study for Herbology since it was his weakest subject. Romance didn't blossom until their last year at Hogwarts, but they're a fairly good couple nonetheless. Their independent natures and both being strong thinkers often lead to short disputes. She didn't have the same passion for Quidditch as her husband and son, and was slightly relieved when Benjamin had to quit Quidditch. Olivia tries to talk Ben out of becoming a professional Quidditch player every time they see each other nowadays. For that reason Ben often dreads going home to family, but lately she's been guest lecturing at wizarding schools worldwide for her modern herbology studies so she's been too busy to bother him.
  
  
  Siblings: None
  
  
  Pets: Wilda and Jocelind, two female rats named after famous chasers on Puddlemore United. Wilda has grey fur and Jocelind white.
  
  
  Other Noteworthy Relatives: His aunts, uncles, and both sets of grandparents were all wizards. His family has mostly been sorted into Slytherin with the occasional Ravenclaw. He has one younger cousin who got sorted into Gryffindor and tried getting onto the Quidditch team so that he could beat Ben. He never got onto the team.
  
  
  Blood Status: Pureblood
  
  
  Social Standing: Very high, seeing as his father holds the second highest position in the Ministry
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Boggart: Ben's boggart is a very large Venomous Tentacula plant. When he was young the Venomous Tentacula in his mother's greenhouse grabbed hold of him with its spiked vines and almost bit him. He was scraped by one of its venomous fangs before his mother freed him, causing him to get terribly sick. It was the childhood experience he recalls most vividly and occasionally has nightmares about.
  
  
  Patronus: N/A
  
  
  Animagus: N/A
  
  
  Amortentia: the scent of Qudditch turf on a hot day, his mom's peppermint hot chocolate, and apple-scented shampoo

  Best Subject: Charms
  
  
  Favorite Subject: Charms
  
  
  Worst Subject: History of Magic
  
  
  Least Favorite Subject: Herbology
  
  
  Quidditch: He was the center chaser since his second year, but was nearly killed by a bludger during the last season. Nothing has been proven, but most suspect his Gryffindor rival charmed it. His parents forbade him from playing, but he still participates in unofficial matches and helps the team in any way he can. He's considered the unofficial vice captain.
  
  
  Friends: Jacob Rowley (best friend from Slytherin, beater, feels kind of responsible for him getting injured), Bella Falco (best friend from Ravenclaw, keeper and captain, calls him out on his bullshit), friends with Slytherin and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams since they do unofficial matches a lot
  
  
  Other: Ben typically goes home to his family for Christmas and summer breaks.
  
  
  

 

[Dude In Distress]

I really liked your aesthetic board thing, I've never seen them before, but it was really interesting. So I tried to make my own. I much prefer yours, but I think mine's okay for my very first one! Aha. (And I seriously think I'm in love with that guy's hair in your board.)

Appearance


Picture:

Face: With deep blue eyes, and a hair colour that reminded himself of ebony (Ignore the highlights in photo) admittedly makes him somewhat easy to loose in a crowd, there really isn’t anything that’s too stand-offish about him. His cheekbones are somewhat defined, and he has perpetual smile-lines near the corners of his eyes. His nose is somewhat prominent, and a bit sloped, and he’s pretty conscious about his teeth they’re not crooked so to speak, but they aren’t the most aligned either, but his biggest fear is that he's been given his dad's far too big nose.


Skin Tone: Certainly more pale than tan, but still with a warmth glow to his skin.


Body Type: Alex’s never been the tallest. He was always right in the middle of his class when it came to size. He stands at the 5’10 or so. He always tries to tell people he’s 5’11, for some reason. He’s always been of average weight, and was blessed with an outlandishly high metabolism, making him far too scrawny in his own opinion, it was better than being fat, but he couldn't imagine anyone ever finding the 'almost anorexic' look sexy, if you looked closely, there's nothing near to and, however he does have a somewhat toned torso. You can also find a little muscle on his arms and curves which looked good in his collection of skinny jeans..


Clothing Style: A mixture between preppy and comfy. Skinny jeans mixed with a decent shirt or jumper is a normal outfit for Alex, but he'll gladly wear joggers and the closest top to him if he's feeling lazy. Hoodies, especially if there just slightly too big, are another thing he loves to where, however usually pairs these with boxers and chooses this to be his sleeping outfit.


Accessories: Alex often wears a simple chain necklace around his neck, it was a gift from his grandmother that he was given as he was sent of to hogwarts. It has some magical properties, and enchances the

Personality


Traits: Alex has most of the general traits of most of the Hufflepuff house, including strong loyalty to friends and loved ones, but also a deep desire to keep others happy. This has become a problem in the past, with him letting others walk over him for a one sided benefit. Alex has always been submissive in nature, happy to ignore his own needs to help others, which was evident to his grandmother when he came home severely beaten up, his only explanation being "I couldn't let Harry be hurt, Gran!" not thinking about his own condition even once. He is eager to make as many friends as possible, and is generally a happy character. He is fiercely supportive of his friends, and will use everything in his power to protect them again bullies, or anything else that could hurt them.


Likes: Fall (The colours, Leaves crunching underneath, cozy cuddling), Books (Escaping to another world, the feel of them, finding out information), Quirkiness, Unexpected events, Practicing spells and potions.


Dislikes: The feeling of floo travel, overconfident people, selfishness, forced to play quidditch with others.

Bad at: Going to bed on time, quidditch, writing neatly when rushed.


Fears: Dissapointing others, Being Ignored, Being Forgotten, (And Old Volde-y)

Family


Father, Mother and Sibling(s):


He has little knowledge about it, but he has a twin sister named Claire, although all he remembers is that she never returned home after one day when she went to school, he suspects she ran away, but of course was never given any details on the issue. The state of his father is also unknown, and so he lives with his mother, Charlotte, and his grandmother, Linda, who in all honesty, let's him get away with a bit too much, not that he would ever agree with his mother on that point. Whenever he'd return from hanging out with his friends covered in mud as a kid(Perhaps from falling while he's climbing trees, or ignoring his mother's advice from not going into the muddy stream in the nearby woods) it was always his mother who scolded him, his grandmother instead taking the view that he's still a kid, and kids should be allowed to be kids. Now, she still retained that philosophy, and he wouldn't complain, even if he is technically almost an adult now and he only saw them on holidays.


Pet: A two year old puppy with beige fur that is decorated with darker brown splodges on in various areas has been with him since he was a child, and goes by the name of Thomas. Regarding magical pets, an brown farm owl named Octo.


Blood Status: Half Blood, he learnt that his father was a muggle and mother a wizard.


Social Standing: Somewhat decent, most certainty middle class.


Individual Magic


Wand reaction when first held:


Boggart: His mother. Not the person herself, but what scares him the most of all is the fear of dissapointing loved ones. This means that the Boggart would most likely come in the form of his mother, who he is closest, much like how Hermione's fear of failure and of disappointing those who have placed both their trust and some very high expectations on her by taking the form of McGonagall -- who is certainly not herself all that frightening to Hermione.)


Patronus: The vast majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce any form of Patronus, and unfortunately Alex finds himself within this category. He has mused over multiple times what he presumed what form his Patronus would take, however, could never decide fu


Amortentia: A mix of various things would be the scent of any amortentia potion for Alex. It would most likely include the smells of: New books, the air after rain and the smell of crisp green apples, all reminding him of the early days spent with his grandmother in their large garden, attempting to grow trees.

Holiday: He returns home every holiday to spend it with his Grandparents, spending almost every evening laughing while sat by the glowing fire until the day turned into night and the sky darkened, signaling it was time to depart for sleep.
