​

Welcome, welcome, to the first Octowizard Tournament, the grandest show on land or by sea! Students, please proceed with caution if you decide to enter your name into the Goblet of Fire, as these tasks are not for the faint of heart. For the first time in history, the eight international wizarding schools—Hogwarts (Scotland), Beauxbatons (France), Castelobruxo (Brazil), Durmstrang (Scandinavia), Ilvermorny (North America), Mahoutokoro (Japan), Uagadou (Uganda), and Koldovstoretz (Russia)—are uniting to hold a magical Olympics among their best and brightest pupils, and you’re invited! Glory and gold, pleasure and pain, magic and mayhem, dreams and danger will abound. The Octowizard is a magical spectacle the likes of which the wizarding world has never before seen, and no one is sitting on the sidelines for it. Only one will win, and some may lose everything.

​

Unlike the previous Triwizard Tournaments, in which one school would host the whole tournament and house the accumulative populations of all competing schools, only a committee of three student representatives from each school will be attending the Octowizard Tournament in person. Those three students are selected at the discretion of their individual headmasters. From among those three, the Goblet of Fire shall select one name to be the champion for his or her school. The two unchosen students shall have front-row seats to spectate the tournament, and will serve as the champion’s secondaries in the tragic (but not unlikely) event that a champion is unable to continue the tournament. And who knows, perhaps the Goblet of Fire might just call for a team challenge.
One other important deviation from the original Triwizard Tournaments is that, there will be eight tasks altogether, and each school will play host to a different task. Each school’s crew—consisting of the three aforementioned students plus one chaperoning professor—will get an unprecedented opportunity to sight-see as they travel the world on an all-expenses-paid trip. However, it would be beneficial for competing students to keep in mind that classes will be scheduled regularly amidst the tournament, and an ample decline in one’s grades may result in removal from the tournament. Since these challenges will prove a test to a competitor’s physical, mental, and emotional maturity, the Goblet of Fire will only accept the names of fifth- through seventh-year students.
Any further questions? No? Well, then. Let’s get started.

​

Rules!
- This is an advanced RP, so I would like 3+ paragraphs per character with mostly correct grammar and spelling. The occasional excuse of low muse is understandable, but this must remain occasional.
- Only one champion per RPer. Including professors and secondaries, you may have up to three characters total.
- Only five characters with a special magical status (Animagus, Metamorphmagus, Parselmouth, Veela, werewolf, etc.) will be allowed, since they are exceptionally rare.
- It’s not necessary that you’ve read or seen the entire Harry Potter series to join this RP, but it would help if you have at least a little background knowledge. Those of us who are avid fans will help you out with the rest of the universe lore, if need be.
- As aforementioned, competing students are between fifth- to seventh-year.
- Keep in mind, Beauxbatons is not an all-girls school, and Durmstrang is not all boys, as portrayed in the movie. Also, culture plays an important role in this RP! While you don't have to know your character's culture inside and out, please don't do something completely out of the ordinary for someone of their background without reason.
- Please do not complain because “Harry” and “Dumbledore” aren’t here. In this AU universe roleplay, none of the canon characters exist. EVERYONE PLAYS OC’S.
- Reservations will be upheld for 72 hours, by which time the entire form should be complete.
- While characters are allowed to be complete asses to each other in the roleplay, OOC bullying is not tolerated. Hate the character, not the RPer.
- Please post on the RP thread at least once every two weeks. Don't make me have to hunt you down for a reply. A full month without posting will result in dismissal from the thread.
- With regards to the aforementioned rule, don’t flood other thread members, including myself. You must wait until three people have posted since your last post until you can reply again.
- You must have an imagination! Create plots, play NPCs and side characters, keep the story rolling. I hate having to make everything happen on my own.
- Use faceclaims, and no anime pictures for your charries!

[Aviator]

Full Name: Kasper Gunne Edelberg
Name Meaning:
Kasper comes from the biblical Hebrew word for “treasurer.”
Gunne is derived from Old Norse roots meaning “army” or “war.”
Edelberg (pronounced AY-dehl-burg) is Swedish-Jewish surname translating to “noble hill.”
Nicknames: Much to his dismay, he is occasionally referred to as “the Friendly Ghost,” after the American cartoon character, Casper.
Gender: Male
Age: Seventeen years
Birthday: March 14th, happy Pi Day!!!

Ethnicity: Swedish, and proud of it.
School: Durmstrang
Rank: Champion
Year: Seventh year
House: Terpsichora House, which favors artists, poets, musicians, and other creative minds. However, he considers himself an honorary Hufflepuff.
Wand: Willow and demiguise hair core, 13” with a pliant flexibility. Willow is an uncommon wand wood with affinities for healing and non-verbal magic, often selecting those who have much potential. The Demiguise is a peaceful, herbivorous magical beast that can make itself invisible and foretell the future, which makes it very hard to catch.
Pet: A male ice pigeon named Dansare, who is often more trouble than he is worth.

Blood Status: Half-blood; Kasper is a bit touchy about his blood status because not so long ago, Durmstrang only admitted pure-blood students, and it’s not uncommon for him to be harassed by students (and even some professors) of the traditional blood-supremacist ideology.
Patronus: Crow
Boggart: Bjorn Hedlund, a classmate whom Kasper had killed when he was ten years old.
Quidditch: Chaser for Terpsichora House
Preferred Classes: Astronomy & Music

Appearance: The first thing that leaps out about Kasper is his vibrant rust-colored hair, which isn't all that uncommon for Swedes. Thick, wavy, and often wind-tossed (especially after Quidditch matches), his bangs are constantly flopping into his eyes, unless he slicks them back. A few shades lighter than his hair are his eyebrows, which are so pale as to almost be rendered invisible. They shelter deep-set eyes of a velvety black shade, so dark that they give the impression of absorbing the light around them, glittering like stolen stars. Kasper has a long, narrow face, with unusually pointy features that vacillate between being too sharp to be attractive, and lethally handsome. His chin tapers to a noticeable tip, and at some angles, his cheekbones look prominent enough to cut. His nose is long and almost perfectly straight, with just the slightest upward curvature at the end. Below that is a rosebud mouth with a spare upper lip and a full lower one. Like many redheads, Kasper's skin is porcelain pale. Not surprisingly for one who is accustomed to cold and cloudy climates such as him, he is susceptible to intense sunburn after less than even an hour in the summer sun. After years of dedicated ice hockey and Quidditch training, he is simultaneously lean yet corded with muscle, making him heavier than he looks at first glance. His chest muscles are especially toned, due to the upper-body strength required of Quidditch Chasers. For a mysterious reason, Kasper always wears gloves in public, cottony white things that cover his hands from fingertips to wrist.
Scent: Peppermint, bonfire smoke, and coconut.
Height & Weight: 5'10" & 160 lbs.
Body Modifications: A simple gold hoop earring in his left ear. Additionally, on the back of his neck is a silvery birthmark vaguely shaped like a star.
Physical Disabilities: Kasper is considerably near-sighted, with roughly 20/100 vision. Usually he chooses to remedy this with contacts because he thinks he looks nerdy with glasses, but he has both. Also, after sustaining an ankle sprain while playing hockey a few years ago, his left ankle often still hurts when running or during prolonged periods of standing.
Faceclaim: Linus Wordemann

Personality: As far as cliques go, Kasper is a strange mix between a brawny jock and an artistic soul who feels condemned to eternal misunderstanding by others. Internally, he is a lot more emotional than he lets on, because he has a hard time trusting others and doesn't want to be misconstrued as weak or needy. But in reality, his feelings are so intense, deep, and piercing that he often feels overwhelmed by them. That's not to say that he is so fixated on his emotions that he's entirely oblivious to logic, though. He has an analytical side that rationalizes, which often results in his withdrawing from others because he's constantly comparing himself to them and finding himself lacking; after a childhood of isolation from his peers, Kasper suffers from a crippling lack of self-esteem. Nonetheless, he tends to follow his heart over his head, and he sometimes impulsively acts on his emotions, either not bothering to consider the consequences of his actions, or not caring. Instead of saving brooding for when he's upset, for Kasper, this is a default state of which he's often unaware.
But this doesn't stop him from living in the moment and trying to experience life to the fullest. With a highly creative mind, he has a broad array of interests, from sports to cooking to music, and wants time to accommodate them all--sometimes at the expense of his school work, much of which he feels is meaningless. He has a fierce sense of individuality, feeling broken and imperfect, separate from others, but sometimes this disconnection is his greatest source of muse. Because Kasper values his freedom and independence a lot and knows life is short, he often voluntarily keeps to himself, not wanting to be bogged down in others' drama. He enjoys life's simple pleasures, like a good song or a colorful sunset, often feeling at one with nature and admiring the beautiful simplicity with which animals live. Wanting to devote as much time as possible to himself and his creative pursuits, he is sometimes unreliable in his keeping of commitments, which he doesn't even like to make in the first place. Rather than making a plan of action and imposing his will on the world, he's a very go-with-the-flow type. He has a flexible and spontaneous approach to life, understanding that muse and opportunity come in bursts that can't be forced or scheduled. Kasper adapts to situations as he sees fit, enjoying the thrill of improvising and not knowing all of life's mysteries.
Of course, his lack of structure and aversion of routine sometimes cause him to start things without finishing them, too, or procrastinate to the point where it's impossible to do a thorough job in accordance to deadlines. Additionally, he tends to get hung up on details and miss the bigger picture or "point" of an idea or task that doesn't immediately resonate with him. He's a musician, not a writer, and is much more focused on the literal and concrete, that which can be perceived through the senses, rather than abstract concepts or theories. Kasper is a cynic at heart, and as such, he sometimes fails to see both his own and others' potential for change or greatness, being absorbed in current bleak realities. He is cautious, often seeing the cost without seeing the value. Hence his liking of sports, something that has a clear objective, requires full absorption in the moment, and promotes an impulsive decision-making process. Part of being hyperaware of his environment involves always analyzing the subtext behind others' words or actions, and this leads to Kasper perhaps being more sensitive than he should be. However, if he feels as though his beliefs or values are being challenged, he is not one to meekly back down and cave to others' wills. If provoked, he is borderline confrontational, prone to lashing out at offenders and ensuring that he or his loved ones are not taken advantage of. But later on, he'll usually feel guilty about aggressing himself and wounding others' feelings.
For all his faults, Kasper is a good listener and shoulder to cry on. He's not usually one to offer logical solutions to problems, but he doesn't shy away from offering emotional support. Since he has such a low opinion of himself, he is often altruistic about meeting his friends' needs and being there for them in times of trouble. However, he is neither very approachable nor outgoing, so the actual process of making friends presents many challenges to him. But when someone does happen to pique his interest, Kasper wants to develop a nuanced, meaningful relationship; not just something superficial to pass the time. Authenticity is very important to him, and he wants to get to know others for their real selves, not for the facades that they present to the world. He lacks the charisma and stability to be a leader, but he sure as hell isn't a follower, either. Instead, Kasper often chooses to defy convention and march to the beat of his own drum, and while he doesn't have the internal confidence to completely not care what others think of him, he usually won't change his course of action on behalf of expectations.

Spoiler: Backstory

Kasper Edelberg was the illegitimate child born to the secretive union of a single witch and a married Muggle man. When his pregnant mistress, Johanna, tried to break the truth of her magical powers to him, and that their child would most likely be magical in turn, David Edelberg did not take her revelation well. A nasty argument took place in which David announced his intentions to rescind his promise to abandon his wife and legitimate children and elope with Johanna. Several months later, Johanna unexpectedly showed up on David's doorstep with the newborn child swaddled in her arms. When David answered the door to shoo her away before his wife returned from picking up the kids, Johanna flung him aside via magic, marched into his house, and plopped the baby on a sofa. David, reeling with shock, called her a demon and threatened to send her to hell where she would burn. In retaliation, Johanna, a skilled Legilimens, delved into David's mind and attempted to erase all his memories of her, but unbeknownst to her, every time that David would look at her child in the future, his suppressed memories would begin to resurface and battle the spell she had cast on him, driving him to insanity. Johanna left David's house and was never to be seen again by either him or baby Kasper.
When David's wife, Ottilia, arrived home with their children, she found him raving incoherent nonsense about magic and witches, and caught up in the power of his delusions, he was unable to explain the presence of the wailing baby on the sofa. Disgusted with her husband's betrayal of her, Ottilia immediately filed for divorce and left him, winning custody of their children. Much like Johanna, Ottilia didn't look back. On his own to raise Johanna's baby, David was a loving and affectionate father, his hysteria about witches having lapsed somewhat. Kasper loved him dearly, though no matter how much he pried, David never said anything about Kasper's mother. (The extent to which David had voluntarily refused versus being possibly incapable of talking about Johanna still remains unclear to Kasper.) They were poor--David worked only as a lowly cashier at a hardware store--but they were happy. David generously donated much of his income to help Kasper pursue his growing interest in ice hockey, and soon he was playing on a team.
Over time, it gradually dawned on Kasper that something was seriously wrong with his father. When David would take him to the supermarket, he initiated games of pretend with Kasper, in which the groceries were secret treasures they had to steal from an evil lair, and while Kasper kept a lookout for enemies, they would walk out without paying. Other times, David would engage in trivial activities like counting the leaves on a bush and treat them with the utmost importance. One day, David even showed up at Kasper's Muggle school, in a frenzy about having lost his keys and needing to know if Kasper took them... only for Kasper to remind him that David wouldn't have been able to drive to the school if he had really lost his keys.
The other schoolchildren who'd been present at the incident had caught on to David's fragile mental state and teased Kasper mercilessly about his lunatic father. A group of boys had once even waylaid David when he'd been taking a walk around the neighborhood to pelt him with stones and deride him. Kasper occasionally got into physical fights with his bullies, but after once getting caught and punished by teachers for fighting, he made sure the fights never took place on school grounds again; Kasper feared the possibility that the disciplinarian would summon his father, catch on to David's failing sanity, and have him parted from Kasper and institutionalized. One day, a gang of bullies confronted Kasper on his walk home from school. Several of them grabbed Kasper and pinioned his arms to his sides while their ringleader, a boy by the name of Bjorn Hedlund, took swings at Kasper. In all his pain and rage and humiliation, Kasper willed Bjorn to step into the street as a school bus was passing. And, inexplicably, as if spelled, Bjorn looked directly at Kasper as he stepped back into the street. Bjorn was instantly killed by the bus.
Kasper was ten years old at the time.
Despite his inability to explain how it had happened, Kasper just knew that he was responsible for his classmate's death, having imagined it moments before its realization. He'd never spoken the words aloud, no, but he'd said them so clearly in his head; the coincidence was too great for Kasper to have not been Bjorn's killer. Horrified at having a sin so great on his conscience, Kasper started hearing voices in his head almost immediately after the fact. He heard Bjorn's friends' unvoiced terror for him each following day at school. He heard his teachers thinking that he was a lazy troublemaker who would never amount to anything. He heard David's blissful ignorance to the horrors his son had caused and unconditional love for Kasper despite it all. Kasper was certain that he, without a doubt, must have inherited his father's mental disorders and was also going crazy. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss for what to do next, Kasper resigned from his hockey team. Sure that he would explode if he kept the weight of his crimes all bottled up, he tried to confide his murder of Bjorn to his father, describing how Bjorn had made eye contact with Kasper and walked in front of the school bus as Kasper had hoped for. At that, David's filmy gaze suddenly sharpened, and mysteriously told Kasper, "You're more like your mother than you could ever know." It was the first time David had ever voluntarily brought her up.
Needing answers to Bjorn's death, to the sudden voices in his head, Kasper turned the house upside-down one day when his father was obliviously watching television, looking for any information or possibly pictures of his mother. What he found was a short series of unsent letters penned in David's hand. Some were accusatory; some were pleading; some were downright nonsensical; all were addressed to a woman named Johanna. Kasper had never known his mother's name, nor that she had apparently possessed supernatural powers. Kasper didn't know whether to believe it, or if this was just another fabricated delusion of his father's. But if it was true that Johanna had driven David to madness before abandoning him, Kasper knew with every bone in his body that he despised her, and he just might kill her like Bjorn if he ever laid eyes on her.
A few short months later, Kasper started receiving letters in the mail from a mysterious "Durmstrang Institute." Confusing the word institute for institution, Kasper fearfully disposed of the letters, thinking that David's imagined "enemies" might actually be real, and closing in on him fast. Kasper received dozens of the letters. Finally, a representative of the Institute arrived on David's doorstep, much as an angry woman once had eleven-and-a-half years before. This man who claimed to be a wizard revealed that he was actually here for Kasper, not David, and that Durmstrang Institute was a school for the magically gifted. Both David and Kasper opposed the separation that this wizard was trying to enforce upon them. David's reaction was explosively hysterical, and when the wizard left but promised to be back soon for Kasper, he lapsed into a full-on mental breakdown. Kasper's fear for his father's life was stronger than his trepidation at being separated, and he called for help. David was institutionalized.
With no one to look after him, and strongly opposing the idea of being sent to an orphanage, Kasper reluctantly agreed to go with the wizard upon his dutiful return. During a seemingly never-ending train ride to a remote location in northern Norway, Kasper was introduced to the Wizarding World for the first time, regarding it all with wide eyes and limitless curiosity like a Muggle-born first-year student. The answers he had so desperately sought several months before were suddenly falling into place; but when no first-year gossip ever discussed the voices Kasper was hearing in his head, or how he had seemingly possessed Bjorn to do his deadly bidding, he was sharp enough to never speak of them, sensing that, whatever they were, they were abnormal even for wizard children. (It wouldn't be until his third year that he would stumble across the term Legilimency in his studies and realize that it applied to his uncanny telepathic abilities, and that the voices he was hearing were actually coming directly from others' minds, rather than from his own concocted imaginings.) Kasper was sorted into Terpsichora House, the house of musicians and artists, because he found that channeling his powerful emotions through music was his best means of processing them. What with the athleticism he'd cultivated over the course of his hockey years, he had a natural aptitude for Quidditch, and in his third year was installed as a Chaser on Terpsichora's official team.
With nowhere else to go or live upon the completion of a school year, now that his father was unable to raise him, Kasper became a year-round resident of Durmstrang; especially since he disliked classes so vehemently that he sometimes failed out and had to make them up over the summers. From time to time, usually once a year or so, Kasper pays a visit to his father in the institution. Perhaps he would go more often, if it wasn't such a heartbreaking experience every time. Kasper's mounting sadness over the years led to an increased habit of smoking, and to throwing himself into relationships (and later into hookups, too) with reckless abandon. His Legilimency is far from perfect, usually perceiving a riotous jumble of the thoughts of everyone within his field of vision, where those who are closer are more easily understandable. When he is touching someone else is the only time when he is fully able to see into their minds, and more often than not this results in an involuntary swan-dive into their consciousness so that he loses all awareness of his own body; hence why he always wears gloves, to try to minimize the occurrence of this uncontrolled spiral into others' minds. More than once, Kasper has unintentionally uncovered a sordid secret about a lover that he otherwise wouldn't (and shouldn't) have known. For this reason, Kasper's romantic relationships are usually short and sour. Sometimes even his friendships.
The exception to this rule was Freyja Hartvigsen. Kasper fell head over heels for this girl. They were happily together for several months, and Kasper, who is normally quiet and reserved, found himself chattering endless streams in Freyja's presence. He wondered whether this giddy, bubbling feeling might be love. But Freyja is not an obtuse girl. Over the course of their relationship, when Kasper didn't check his words like he did around everyone else, she would catch on to things he wasn't supposed to know. Sometimes inexplicable thoughts and images would suddenly pop into her head. And just like that, she uncovered Kasper's biggest secret of Legilimency. Feeling that her privacy had been violated and despising Kasper for keeping secrets, she dumped him... within all of a week before the start of the Octowizard Tournament, in which Kasper had recklessly entered his name.
He'd never imagined in a million years that a struggling student with a monstrous curse like him would be selected as a representative of his school at the wizarding event of the year. And so would Freyja Hartvigsen.

She is graced with small lips, fuller in the bottom lip, with a rather prominent W shape for a cupids bow. She has a pointed chin, well defined cheekbones and jawline. She has pale, smooth almost flawless skin with the exception of bruising, scarring and harden skin on her left forearm from doing archery without a protective bracer. Her hair is a light, golden blonde which she has grown out in her later teen years reaching below her breasts. She goes through phases in her hair styles, switching between simple styles such as having it out in it's natural waves, or tied up in a neat pony-tail to elaborate up-dos and braids.
Scent: Cherry Blossom and Vanilla
Body Modifications: Several ear piercings which she rotates different types of earrings through. She also always seems to have perfectly manicured nails, simple designs usually some variations of the French tip look.
Physical Disabilities: She dislocated her ankle once walking in heels too tall when she was 15. That sucked. It hurts sometimes when it's cold or when she's on unstable terrain or shoes. She grits through it though.
Faceclaim: Anya Taylor-Joy

Personality:
Genevieve thinks herself rather simple, not in capabilities physically or mentally but rather how she acts. She sometimes finds it difficult to understand why other people can't understand her actions or goals, when in her mind it is quite obvious to her. She is a very rational person, she thinks with her head not her heart. She is logical, intelligent and always looking to develop her skills and expand her knowledge. She is a problem solver and an extremely perspective person, she lives being put in situations where she is challenged or can exercise her mind. Genevieve is also very informed on many topics, she likes to be well aware of different skills, ideas, people so that if it ever becomes prevalent in her life she knows how to tackle it. She likes to analyse ideas and come to her own conclusion, as well have taken in all sides to an argument so she knows she is correct in research and personal opinion. Genevieve is also very self motivated, she doesn't need other people to tell her what to do or how to do it. She is independent and dictates her own life, she makes her own rules, morals, beliefs and ideas based off of what she decides is true to her. She sometimes struggles to understand how others sway so easily between opinions, why they don't do they research first. She struggles with rules or unspoken guidelines that don't make sense to her, she needs to understand something inside and out otherwise she gets worked up and frustrated. Her success lies behind her dedication to learning and understanding everything that works around her. Genevieve is also very curious, she doesn't learn things only because she feels the compulsion too, but also because she's just really interested. It goes beyond wanting hard facts or opinions, sometimes she just wants to know about peoples lives, their dynamics and how each of the cogs work together. It means she is very adaptable to new situations, because she has such a broad knowledge and studies beforehand she doesn't feel as anxious or worried. She feels like she can almost predict some situations happening before they play out, going over every tiny idea in order to get the big picture. Genevieve is also very passionate, about not only learning and becoming more knowledgeable but also just about her life in general. She is very loyal and close with her adoptive parents, and very passionate about their lives and careers. She is enthusiastic about hobbies and skills she has, such as archery, to the point where it rules a good part of her life. She's not one to let go of something she enjoys or loves easily. She is also rather playful when not stone-cold serious, she loves to laugh, play around and hang out with friends and family.

Genevieve doesn't mean to all the time, but she comes across as quite arrogant. She's very self-assure in her own capabilities and knows she's smart. She's rather blind to the fact that she sometimes brags, or can treat people like they are inferior to her. She tries to be nice and open with everyone in her life, being at the top is lonely but sometimes it's great because she feels like an individual in the crowd. Genevieve is also very unemotional outwardly, in private she could have a total melt down, but in public she plays a persona. Never show weakness, never cry, never let them have a in. This is rather problematic though, the more she dismissive her emotions the more it bubbles up. She has been known to be a bit challenged when it comes to ideas of how to act or react appropriately, sometimes she even finds herself watching movies or people in general to understand why she feels what she feels. Genevieve is also very overly critical of herself and those around her, but especially herself. She needs to be the best, even if it means staying up all night studying, practicing, learning. She doesn't except her own flaws, and the more she realises she has them the more it eats her up inside. She also can be rather pushy with the amount of questions she asks, gaining opinions or learning why she's doing it can become quite mentally exhausting. She is always asking, always learning and doesn't always catch the social cues for when it's time to let go and move on. She's obsessive in her own way, hyper-focusing on ideas or skills until she feels she's mastered it. And then she'll revisit it again a few days later. She runs her life in an endless loop of perfection, everything must be perfect the others and she must understand why it has to be that way. Genevieve is also rather socially clueless, she's a sweetheart in reality but she has her stupid moments. It frustrates her that she can't always predict or see into the minds of others. It also frustrates her that she misses social cues, or fails to understand pack behaviour that the human kind exhibits.

Dislikes: Pushy crowds, losing, failure, sexism, blood status bias, racism, overly loud or touchy people, cold, snow, fashion crime, wet dog smell, rain or thunderstorms, being made fun of or bullied, people who are generally cruel, overly complex visual patterns on clothing, littering, crooked teeth, strict adult figures, being underestimated, heartbreak, the ideas of abandonment from her parents, cliques, standing around without purpose, stupid questions

-- Alexandre Chapelle -- adoptive father -- alive
Hometown: Compiègne was where she was born and where her mother raised her up until she was 8, then she moved to a boarding school in Paris until she was eventually adopted.
Backstory:
Genevieve was born in Compiègne, a town near the capital of Paris in France. Her mother and father were dating at the time, and from the family photos that Genevieve had seen they looked happy. Of course, all things change. As Genevieve grew older, it became apparent that her mother and father were slowly falling out of love. They would argue, make up, then fight again. By the time she was 5 the two had split, her mother taking Genevieve into her care. Genevieve later found out this was because her father hadn't told her mother that he was a wizard, and that she had only found this out when she walked in on him doing magic. Her father disappeared and she never really heard from him again, her mother was poor and they were struggling. Then Genevieve started developing her powers, like most young witches and wizards things would just... happen. They would go wrong, and it wasn't really her fault. Her mother grew more and more angry and tired of her child and her magic. She would accuse her of being a devil, and that she was going to go to hell if she kept acting the way she did.

When Genevieve was 8, her mother had had enough. She gave her away for adoption and Genevieve ended up at a boarding school for orphans. During her stay there she was often treated cruelly by the head mistress who was very religious. Whenever her "devil" magic would flare up when Genevieve was scared or upset, her head mistress would lock her in a cupboard for hours and tell her to pray. Eventually, the stories of a little girl with the devil inside her spread through Paris in the education and occult world. She would have people who would come to visit her and ask her questions, but in the end she was adopted by a rich set of parents when she was 10. Her parents were very into the occult and hoped that the young girl could help them communicate with the dead. They had lost many children to miscarries over time, so they wanted a child for their own and Genevieve was interesting enough to catch their attention.

It soon became apparent that Genevieve could not commune with the dead, despite this her new parents loved her. Her adoptive mother being a rich fashion designer and her adoptive father a CEO of a fancy car company they did well. Her mother often said that even if she couldn't talk to the dead, Genevieve had somewhat saved them. Apparently her mother was having a total creative block and was on risk of losing her job and reputation. Genevieve came just at the right time and brought happiness and inspiration. She would often model or engage within the fashion world and picked up archery which she excelled at.

Her adoptive parents were not surprised when her letter came, inviting her to join Beaubaxon. Genevieve was thrilled and it made a lot of things about her life and skills make sense. She excelled in school and fit in fairly well, being an introvert she had her small group of friends. She also continued to do archery, competing at a national level for France. She was planning to go international to try and become a world champion, but then the tournament was announced. Genevieve decided maybe it was time to interact with and become more well known in the wizarding world, considering she is very confident in her smarts and abilities.

-- Veela hair is a relatively powerful core, midway between the strength of the oft-used Unicorn hair, and the much prized Phoenix feather, due to the human size of Veela, and their powerful personal magic. Wands cored with Veela hair may tend toward Transfiguration, much as Veela themselves do. All legally made wands with Veela cores must have had the hair donated freely.

Preferred Classes: Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Divination

Appearance:
Freyja is just under average height, coming to around 5"4 in height. Her parents both were rather short people so she hit the genetic lottery even making it past 5"2. She is lean, with a good amount of muscle that you would find on an athlete. Because she figure skates she's pretty fit and strong, not obnoxiously so, but enough to know she is somewhat invested. Her body is shaped in an hourglass figure, having a small defined waist she often likes to exaggerate with high waisted pants and skirts. Facial features wise, Freyja has a oval shaped face, high cheekbones and defined jawline. She has a straight, curved delicate nose and full lips with soft cupids bow. Sometimes when she smiles she gets a dimple in her left cheek. Her eyes a semi-hodded, lined with dark lashes which mesh nicely with her dark grey-blue eyes. Her skin has a slight tan to it, she likes to be outside a lot so it isn't unusual. Her hair is a dark chocolate brown, taking after her father, she's grown it out to below her shoulders. It often naturally falls in a mess of waves, she ties it back often or braids it if she's feeling extra. She often wears minimal makeup, mainly just eyeliner and mascara to exaggerate her eyes or a bit of lip-gloss. She has a few marks here and there, she's adventurous so she often gets cuts and bruises. She also has a bit of a light scar on her hip, when she fell it split the skin and the scar never completely faded. Freyja also wears a lot of bracelets around her wrists and ankles, some hand made and some given. She wears a sliver chain necklace with a pearl her mother gave her attached to it. She also occasionally wears rings, they don't really mean anything to her other than another accessory to add to her aesthetic.

She luckily didn't miss too much school as it happened over the holidays but she had trouble walking for some time even with the help of magic. She is better now, but walks with an obvious limp and gets sore if she has to stand or sit in the same spot for long periods of time.
Faceclaim: Marlo Kelly

She fidgets quite a lot, has trouble sitting still, bounces her knees. She likes exploring, travelling, being active and seeking new scenery. She's pretty brave too, not many things scare her or make her squeamish. She's bold in personality in actions, she want's to explore all there is to see, step out of her comfort zones and make sure everyone is watching and interacting as she does so. She's very practical too, she likes to experience things first hand or do them herself. She sucks at studying if she isn't physically interacting, which is why she excels in classes with practical demonstrations or practice. Freyja is also very observant, she's a social girl and likes to learn everything she can from the people around her. She picks up on small details that most people wouldn't, knows how to read people and understand their emotions.

Freyja is also well known for being rather charming or entrancing in her own way, she attracts people like a magnet and is easy to get along with. People often take advantage of this, but Freyja being Freyja never really cares.

Freyja can be rather sensitive, she's a total sweetheart, she gives all her love and doesn't know how to handle it when it's crushed in front of her face. She gets pretty upset and sad about things, doesn't mean she'll say it out loud though. She'll grit her teeth through the pain, let it slide, cry about it later. Only we she sees extreme injustices happening will she speak up, or if it's someone she's deathly loyal to. She's rather unconfrontaional, she doesn't like fighting or anger. She'll let people walk all over her if it means people are happy. She's a passive person, you could say the cruelest things to her and she would struggle to react. Although, she does have a tendency to bury things, she hasn't exploded yet but she knows it's coming one day. Freyja is easily bored, if something isn't capturing her attention she will drift off or leave. She tries to be kind and considerate, but her brain sometimes just won't allow it unless it captures her attention. She unorganised at times, unfocused, she does her own thing to her own pace. Sometimes she finds herself in her own world. she doesn't plan ahead, and doesn't really think of consequences. She does what she wants, usually when she wants. She doesn't have plans for the future, or even the weeks ahead. She tackles things as they happen, she lets after work it's magic. She's not one to get hung up on what she should be doing, but rather doing what she enjoys. She's a respectful, kind daughter but it's hard to control her. She's a rebellious spirit at heart, she doesn't always listen and fights for her own agenda and morals. She doesn't like old traditions, she like the brand new and the accepting. Freyja is also very rowdy, she's a party girl at heart and listens to a lot of muggle music. She's a teenage girl, sometimes she's loud, doesn't listen and gets annoyed with her caregivers, but in the end she settles down and has a big heart.

Backstory:
Freyja comes from a long, pureblood line of Scandinavian witches and wizards. According to the family history books they started off in Sweden and Norway and eventually ended up moving to Iceland sometime in the 1750s. Her grandmother and grandfather are semi-famous within the wizarding community for being great adventurers and discovering many previously unknown variants of magical creatures. Her family has always had a soft spot for animals and excel in Care for Magical Creatures. Her father was no exception either. After finishing school he ventured out into the wilds to make a name for himself, he ventured all over Europe and Russia before Freyja was born. As Freyja likes to put it, 'he was charming and had a tendency to put his dick in anything that had a pulse'. It seemed the young Einar couldn't resist a beautiful Veela he met in her home country of Bulgaria. And to his credit, he hung around for awhile.

Her father never really explained the next bit, she figured he didn't want her to be upset. Somehow after Freyja was born she ended up being taken away from her mother and into the care of her grandparents. Her father continued to fuck his way through Europe and Freyja was forgotten. He'd come back to visit, bring gifts and hugs, but there was a huge disconnection with him most of her childhood. She didn't blame him too much though, he hadn't had the best childhood either. Her grandparents were no different, they were constantly off doing things that wasn't caring for their son or granddaughter. Freyja was primarily raised by the maid that tended their manor, a young woman called Helga. Helga was a great influence on Freyja, she taught the young girl empathy, to be kind and forgiving. If it weren't for Helga, Freyja figures she would be just as bad and toxic as her friends.

Over time, Freyja grew older. She was homeschooled but often interacted with children from the nearby village or other high-class wizarding families in the area. Her father would visit more often, and even take her on his travels to visit her mother. Her mother was kind and strange, Freyja always had a weird relationship with her. She loved visiting her, talking and swimming together but... there was a total disconnect. The other Veela didn't like Freyja much, especially the other child Veela who would pull her hair and call her ugly and clumsy. Regardless, Freyja from the age of 8 would visit her mother yearly. Her father would often drink heavily on those trips, she never asked why. She had been told it was rude to ask questions.

As she grew older, things became more complicated. Her grandparents would say cruel things and her father would drink himself to sleep every night. She soon understood that she was the one causing the tension, apparently the purpose of her visits to her mother was to dump the young girl. They didn't want her, they had said. She was a half-blood stain, an embarrassment to their family. Turns out they had been keeping her heritage a secret for some time until the scandal was figured out by a neighbouring pureblood family. Over time, the scandal faded and everyone accepted her heritage as fact and moved on. Freyja though was still somewhat hurt, but she was a kind soul and tried to move on.

Around this time, Freyja started competing in figure skating. It was a muggle practice, but by this point her family didn't care. Freyja poured her heart and soul into it, as well as helping care for the families animals. She kept up her visits with her mother, who around her 11th birthday gave her a strand of her hair to use for her wand. Freyja was invited to do her witch schooling at Durmstrang where she excelled. She was quite naturally extroverted and fit in with ease, her friend group were quite toxic pureblood supporters, which often bugged her, but she pretended she didn't care.

After an accident, she had to quit doing figure skating professionally. This gave her a lot of free time to be herself and relax, and as she grew older she became quite the catch. Maybe it was the veela heritage but she picked up quite the audience. She picked up many flings, she didn't know if it was supposed to mean something to her. She would party a lot, picked up a love for muggle rock music and a sense of adventure returned. A while after her accident she started dating Kaspar Edelberg, who she adored, until they broke up quite recently due to an argument. After finding out she was invited to the Octowizard tournament, Freyja was pretty thrilled. She was worried about the fact that Kaspar is going to be there too, so fresh after their break up, but regardless she plans to be supportive and the best second she can.

  persona

  personality

  Katia is exactly what you would expect of a Russian wizard; cold, intense, and brutally honest. Often times her temper gets the better of her and gets her into trouble, but underneath her rough exterior she is a fiercely loyal friend to those she deems worthy. Though she has excellent leadership qualities, Katia tends to be more of a lone wolf to avoid getting hurt again. She can be a lot to handle and doesn't let anyone in easily, but she is a formidable ally to have and would do anything for those she cares about.
  
  Though she often comes off as harsh, Katia is only trying to protect herself. The way she was raised never allowed for her to be soft, she is tough because she has to be. Her desperate need for praise causes her to be overly competitive and head-strong, refusing help even when she needs it to avoid seeming weak. It takes a lot to break down her walls, but the lucky few she considers friends get to see a much warmer, tender side of her. With her friends she loves to have fun and joke around, her boisterous laughter isn't often heard but when it is it's a sure sign that you've made it to her trusted inner circle.

  Backstory

  
  After graduating Koldovstoretz with honors, Aleksandr Volkov followed in his own father's footsteps to become an auror. While on a case in Romania, he met the beautiful Zavyalova Vasiliev working in magical law enforcement for the ministry of magic. The two were married rather quickly, Zav giving birth to their first child Dimitri and then Katia only a short year after. Her mother's laugh is one of Katia's favorite memories, a reminder of how happy they used to be. When Katia was five her parents tried to have another child, but Zav miscarried late into her pregnancy. Their family spiraled out of control from there, her mother and father spending more time fighting than with their children, Zavyalova secluding herself in her room to wallow in grief instead of taking care of the children she still had.
  
  When Katia was only six years old, her mother left them and Aleksandr was destroyed. The children were too young to truly understand what had happened, but they clung to one another in the absence of their mother and the increased drinking of their father. Dimitri and Katia were inseparable until Dimitri was about 9, Aleksandr had been disgraced by his wife but his first born son could redeem the family name. Their father could barely stand to look at Katia, she looked too much like her mother, so Dimitri received all of the attention from their father, leaving her to learn everything second-hand from her brother so that she too could succeed once she arrived at Koldovstoretz.
  
  Eventually even Dimitri became weary of the little sister he had once adored, which hurt Katia worst of all. While Katia cherished their mother's memory, her brother had tried to forget it, causing the siblings to argue incessantly. Dimitri would always be the golden child and Katia knew her father wished she'd never been born, causing the young girl to throw herself into her studies to prove she was just every bit as smart as her brother. Even with constant praise from her professors, Katia never felt like she was good enough, always feeling like an outcast no matter where she went. Her self-hatred turned into anger at everyone, getting into trouble several times for hexing other students or getting into fist fights.

[Jannah]

Full Name: Yom Jae-Hui
Nicknames: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: May 24th

Ethnicity: Korean
School: Mahoutokoro, 7th year
Rank: Champion
House (some schools may not be applicable): Toppuu
Wand: Cherry, Occamy Feather, 12 1/2 inches

Blood Status: Pureblood(not a supremacist, however)
Patronus: White-naped Crane
Boggart: Himself, but unconscious with an empty alcohol bottle by his side.
Quidditch: Played as Chaser up until last year.
Preferred Classes: Charms, although he has a wide array of interests including Transfiguration and Potions.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Picture

Jae-Hui cares deeply about his appearance. He is one to take care to look his best even if doing something as simple as running errands. Looking professional and presentable is of utmost importance to him. Despite this fixation on his appearance, however, he favours clothing that is both practical and comfortable while also still allowing him to pass a specific standard. Button up tunics and even suits are common for the man, especially while present in the muggle world. While in the Wizarding World he will occasionally don traditional robes done up in the proper Korean style (he is quite proud of his heritage and not afraid to show it). Rarely will he be caught in casual wear; if he is then he's either being caught sleeping or on the brink of death.

Like the rest of his appearance his face and hair, especially his hair, are also well-kept. He will usually keep his hair slicked back with hardly even a single hair out of place. As is common with most of his heritage he is clean-shaven and effortlessly keeps it that way. His face is free of major blemishes as part of his careful routine of keeping up his personal hygiene and maintenance. It goes without saying that he showers daily and gives himself a full deep scrub.
Height & Weight: 5' 10", 177 lbs
Body Modifications: None
Physical Disabilities: None
Faceclaim: Yoo Seung-Ho

Personality: Jae-Hui is very much a quiet individual. One would even say that he's a man of few words; less is more, and he firmly believes it. If he speaks at all then it will be because he has something important to say. He is not one for small talk and idle chatter. To some, this may make him appear unfriendly or even cold, but in reality he is a caring individual once one gets to know him. It simply takes some effort for him to trust someone enough to fully open up to them (and when he does open up he's known to be a master of wit and sarcasm). He does carry some degree of paranoia and will easily believe the worst of anyone unless provided evidence proving otherwise.

Jae-Hui is also hardened and able to repress emotions when necessary which contributes to the common assumptions by many that he is cold-hearted. In reality, though, it has largely become a coping mechanism for the man who was always expected to be strong and excellent in all areas right from childhood. Naturally, it does allow him to work well under pressure and difficult situations. In fact, he is often one of the few calm-minded people at all when challenges arise. On a more practical side it makes him a rather formidable opponent in duels as he retains a poker face, making his next move rather difficult to predict.

Although he was not aware of it until recently Jae-Hui does thirst for adventure. All he has ever known is his rigid upbringing within traditional Korean society and he wishes to experience more of the world (which is fortunately an opportunity that has come through the tournament). He has a deep love for culture in all its forms, especially the arts. He is not much an artist himself but he does greatly enjoy admiring the works of others regardless of the form they take. Naturally, he takes an interest in much of the muggle creative media as well.

Because of his upbringing Jae-Hui does cling to some traditional views, but gradually he is hoping to open up his mind to differing opinions and lifestyles. He does believe that by travelling the world and meeting wizards from all over he will begin to shift towards a less judgmental mindset. About the only trait he is currently truly non-judgmental about is blood status. He does not believe one's blood status has any bearing on their ability as a wizard. Unsurprisingly, he does also retain a rather purist method of performing magic; he is not one for innovation(after all, why try to fix what is not broken).
Positive Traits: caring, calm, competent, efficient, hard-working
Negative Traits: Paranoid, judgmental, emotionally distant, rigid, stubborn
MBTI Type: ISTJ
Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Temperament: Melancholy

Likes: cats, soju, tea, reading, music, the cuisine of his homeland, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, the Dark Arts (morbid curiosity), poetry, art, adventure, travel, muggle pop culture
Dislikes: pureblood supremacists, incest, arranged marriages, his dependence on alcohol, boisterous people, selfishness, greed, petty muggle political disputes, his family's rigidness, abuse towards the vulnerable
Habits: Although he is ashamed of it, to help retain his calm-minded approach Jae-Hui will indulge in booze before being forced into any stressful situation.
Fears: Disappointing his family, losing everything he has worked for, drinking himself to death, being forced into an arranged marriage
Hobbies: Reading, enhancing his magic skills, admiring art, brewing potions
Mental Disorders: Alcoholism.

Family: Jin-Hwan(father), In-Hye(mother). Although it is a shameful family secret Jae-Hui's parents are actually cousins (explained more in backstory).
Hometown: Suwon, South Korea
Backstory:

Spoiler: Relevant Family Information

The Yom family dates back centuries and has played a prominent role all across the Korean peninsula. One could have even claimed they were nobility and it would have been widely believed, despite the lack of such heritage. Their power came from their place in a variety of industries and inheritance from strategic marriages. It was a tactic that served the family well into the 19th and 20th centuries.

As the political landscape changed so did the family's prominence. Gradually over time their influence over society faded. While they no longer had their money and power they did have their status as one of Korea's oldest pureblood lines. This left them little choice but to do their best to preserve their pureblood status, but unfortunately few outside of the family tree were willing to marry into what was quintessentially a dying line. This had the family looking towards blood relatives, namely cousins, in order to preserve their blood status.

Cousin marriages continued in the family for many generations and began leaving its mark, most notably in the form of mental instability among members of the family. With members becoming unfit for marriage and their nation splitting into two countries isolated from each other the marriage pool continued to narrow. finally it became a very real threat in the 21st century that the latest generation of marriageable age would be the last purebloods of the Yom line.

Although it was not recieved well by more traditional members of the family, progressives began to resort to the unthinkable: marrying into half-blood lines. This is a practice that became more common in the South Korean factions of the family, thus creating many feuding branches of the same family. Jae-Hui's parents hailed from one of the last remaining pure Yom lines in South Korea.

Unlike most of pureblood status Jae-Hui was not born into privilege. His family was a shadow of its former self and it showed nearly every day, at least to those behind closed doors. Jae-Hui's parents managed to hold their household together at the seams, even if barely. Both worked mundane jobs. They were not glamorous or even particularly lucrative, but they did manage to pay the bills. Stress was commonplace among both, forcing both to often resort to drink to drown out any difficulties they were having. Like their status of being an arranged cousin marriage, it was a well-kept family secret; they simply could not bear the shame of allowing it to leak into the wider pureblood community.

Of course, Jae-Hui himself was sworn to secrecy about his family's doings behind closed doors as soon as he was old enough to even comprehend what was even going on. Practically from the time he could walk and talk he was also taught all manner and aspects of traditional life. If the family was to at least retain the illusion of being reputable then they had to look the part: everything from traditional Korean values to Wizarding mannerisms became a part of the boy's daily regiment. He was to become a model Korean wizard and citizen. There was simply no other option.

Jae-Hui's upbringing also came with obligations to be social and develop relations with peers that could further drive his career ambitions later on, but he much preferred burying his nose in books. He loved to learn, especially about everything magical. By the time he had received his acceptance letter to Mahoutokoro it was evident that he was a Charms prodigy. He knew the subject like the back of his hand, or at least the theory of it. As soon as he arrived in school he soon picked up the practical about as naturally as he had picked up the theoretical. In the subject he excelled even beyond his peers. Although not as strong in other areas, his performance there was nothing to sneeze at either.

Although Jae-Hui proved to be a rather gifted student it came with its own set of challenges. Naturally, he was upheld by his parents as being a model citizen and he simply could not screw up and risk losing everything. Coping with immense stress became a challenge for the boy, and taking a page right out of his own parents' books, he turned to the bottle. If he could not obtain it on his own then older students or sympathetic staff would, usually through means of coercion or bribery. Even now in his final year of school the practice, one that he is ashamed of, has continued.

Jae-Hui continued going through school and retaining the average routine, but then at the beginning of his 7th year an opportunity of a lifetime arose: a chance to compete in what was dubbed the "Octowizard Tournanent". Feeling confident in his magical abilities and figuring there was nothing to lose, he signed up as a potential candidate for Champion. He was surprised to learn that he had been selected while his family was ecstatic. For them, it represented an opportunity for the boy to make their long forgotten family name mean something again; for the first time in generations there would be more positive gossip surrounding the Yom family. Knowing immediately what was expected of him, the boy went into the challenge well-prepared and determined. Failure was simply not an option and he remains fully aware of that even as he trains for each task ahead of him.

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single; relationships rarely work out
Turn-Ons: The primary traits Jae-Hui looks for in a potential partner are somebody who is on his level intellectually while also having a deep appreciation for the arts. His parents expect him to some day marry a Korean, but he personally cares little about the race or ethnicity of who he dates. To him, it's just another trivial detail to get hung up on. Of course, like most in a relationship he also expects honesty and loyalty. He is strictly monogamous so any attempts at polyamory are seen as adultery.
Turn-Offs: Jae-Hui's absolute biggest turn-off (besides cheating) is selfishness. To him, relationships are very much a joint effort. Any potential partners need to be willing to work with him and both halves need to be willing to help each other improve in areas of weakness. Shallowness will not gain any points with the boy either. Perhaps a bit shallow of him, and something he fully admits, he will also not tolerate anyone who takes on an unkempt appearance; if a person cannot at least take care to make themselves look presentable then, to him, it reeks of a type of person who will not care to work on a relationship either.

Jannah code is a little weird on here, i think. check out the bbc code forum, there's a few tutorial threads and some threads where people share their free codes you can use (which is what i usually do). also, if you click on the cog at the far right top when you are writing a post, it changes it to bb code mode, which may be your issue? i don't know much about code, lol, but i hope that helps

 

[artfvlly]

I'm slowly working through mine. I'm just posting here now to reserve a spot for my forms.

Also, how do we get code to work on this site? I tried in another RP and it wouldn't.

I use templates people make from the BBCode centre and just adjust as needed, usually they have instructions showing you how/where to adjust and put text.

oh, then it should show up when you post? try previewing your post when you have a code you want to use to see how it looks. it won't show up in your text box while you are typing it. otherwise, I'm not sure how to help :/

as long as it’s a code from this specific site it should work, people post them in the bb code center. i practice mine in my private workshop before using them.

[Jannah]

My forms are never nearly as detailed, haha. Most of my characters get their full development as I write them. Mine will likely be very basic.

Full Name: Caelum Leonis Elisedd

Name Meaning: Caelum is an ancient word meaning 'Stars in Heaven'
Leonis is of Old German origin, meaning "lion strength"
Elisedd Derived from Welsh elus meaning "kind"
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthday: unknown his adopt date is July 26 (Leo)
Ethnicity: Asian American
School: Ilvermorny
Rank: 1st Alternate, 5th year
House: Thunderbird
Wand: Cedar, Wampus Cat Hair Core, 9 inches
Pet: Owl named Artem
Patronus: Crow
Boggart: A Cell
Preferred Classes: Study of Ancient Runes
Blood Status: unknown adopted
Appearance:

While you may not see it from his body, he does have muscles underneath him, though the six pack isn't defined well. Caelum wears the standard Ilvermorny robes when in class but will immediately put on his normal attire when done with school. His attire is more comfort over fashion when not robed. He tries to have his clothes be as non monotone as possible, colors that don't necessarily clash but do stand out from each other. He makes sure his hair is not too messy but not too much orderly either. He is always sure to have his tie as loose as he's allowed to since he feels suffocated. He has a slight tan to his skin and when he smiles, others often take note of how his teeth are so white.
Height & Weight: 6' 175lbs (no body mods)
Faceclaim: Mizushima Hiro
Personality: Caelum would describe himself as someone who doesn't like the spotlight. Others would describe him as someone who actively avoids being the center of attention and would apporate away if they tried to make him be that. He's friendly sure, in fact people often go to him for council and advice, sometime just to have him listen as many feel like he's actually listening to them when they talk, he's come to be known as the voice of reason for his class. However if he feels that he is the center of attention, then he becomes nervous. He's outgoing with people, loves to try new things, explore and even try to invent new spells, but he doesn't want to be watched. Many are asking why he'd even have his name be entered in the cup. Truth is that he has a sense of adventure and wants...no needs to do that as soon as he could. He does well and would be the top student in his class but as that would place him in the spotlight he will purposefully put the wrong answers on some exams or not write essays as well as he could. Aside from that though he is always shown to do his best and put his entire being into whatever it is he tries. He's not a coward and will stand up for what he believes in or for his friends or family. He has plenty of skills to back him up if confronted and won't easily back down from what his heart is telling him, in fact he's been known to go behind other people's backs to help albeit from the shadows so as far as they are aware he's kept his word. While he loves to explore the castle and surrounding mountains, in fact he often walks around there, he isn't one to just rush head first into the fray. Caelum also has a hidden side to him. He's known by the alias 'Heartbeat' and if you send him a letter addressed as such he will supposedly help you with 3 romance problems.
Positive Traits: Smart, Passionate, Fun lover, Creative, Friendly, Listener, Helpful
Negative Traits: Shy, doesn't understand subtlety, self destructive, deceptive, actively avoids the center of attention
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good
Temperament: Friendly but shy at times
Likes: Spell making, Reading, ancient runes, adventures, Helping others, new places
Dislikes: Certain rules, suck ups, pretenders, pretentiousness, when he's the center of attention
Fears: Confinement, Attention
Hobbies: Spell making, Runes, Explore
Mental Disorders: panics when the center of attention for an extended period

Family: Eldest child of 7, raised by 2 dads
Hometown: Salem
Backstory: Caelum doesn't know where he came from, if he were a No-Maj born or if he had parents who were magical, but he was adopted by two fathers (who he calls by names). They don't really know a lot when it comes to his past. They found him and adopted him. While they did think there was a chance that he didn't have any magical powers this was dismissed when he took one of their wands and made one of his toys accidently combust. What was impressive was that he seemed to have a talent for that as he would often do that for the next year with his dads having to always stop him. From that point on his dads would keep a close eye on him to make sure he didn't do anything like that again. Even when they adopted his brothers and sisters, they still watched him and when they couldn't they were sure to have someone. He started to become shy and felt like he couldn't be happy while he was watched. When he got to Ilvermorny and went through the sorting ceremony each of the statues reacted. This caused him to attention which he didn't ask for. He wanted to start off the year as a normal student not known for anything spectacular at the start as that made him feel like he'd have expectations put on him. Caelum chose Thunderbird and for the rest of the 1st semester he had a school experience that he hoped for, to his relief. He made friends and even did pretty well. As the years went on he found that he had a talent when it came to matters of love and started spreading the rumor that "Heartbeat" would help if you sent them a letter in a certain way which was actually just through a spell he'd managed to invent on accident. No matter how much time he explored in or around the castle, he still wanted to see more and decided to enter in the hopes of that.
Sexuality: He’s not sure, recently he's started to ask

Full Name: Andrew James Campbell

Name Meaning: Andrew means Manly and is of Greek origin
James means Supplanter and is of Hebrew origin
Campbell is a Scottish surname—derived from the Gaelic roots cam ("crooked") and beul ("mouth")—that originated as a nickname meaning "crooked mouth" or "wry mouthed."

Gender: Male
Age: 28
Birthday: March 8th (Pieces)
Ethnicity: American

School: Hogwarts
Rank: Professor of Magical Creatures
House: Was a Ravenclaw
Boggart: Combination spider snake scorpion
Wand: Pine, Unicorn core, 9 inches
Pet: Crup named Gizmo

Blood Status: Muggle born
Patronus: Thestral
Appearance:

He often dress well and will usually have some sort of odd accessory added to whatever he wears. A pin from the muggle world or a colorful belt are just some of what he wears when not dealing with magical creatures. For that he wears clothing that's easier to move around in and also more protected. His Pr. robes are worn when he walks around the castle or teaching a lesson where a creature isn't present. They consist of a button up shirt of a muted color and dark trousers. The cloak he wears is enchanted to reflect the weather around him, rainy or cloudy days will have darker colors while warm and sunnier days will have brighter colors. The cloak also takes on different texture appearances depending on the temperature a hotter day may have the cloak looking like it's on fire while a colder day might look like it has icicles forming on it. He's always sure to have his hair combed and proper even if he hasn't gotten a haircut for a while. He is in shape just not muscular. His skin is fair and not overly pale.
Height & Weight: 6'1" 200lbs
Faceclaim: Casey Cott (no body mods)
Positive Traits: Fair, Caring, Hopeful, Curious, Helpful
Negative Traits: Lack of drive in some areas, Impatient, Distracted, Lack of self confidence
Moral Alignment: Neutral Good
Temperament: Usually cheerful
Personality: Pr. Campbell tends to be well liked by those around him for his unusual positivity and witty remarks. He looks on the bright side of things when it comes to others but not when it comes to himself. He cares about how well his students do and is always there to make sure that they are doing well. He has a love of creatures that rivals that of Newt Scamander. However unlike Newt, he knows not to forgo human relationships. He does sometimes get distracted by what he's doing to not eat or sleep. Even if it is one who he's seen before he'll try to get close, talk to them, just watch them for a while. Magical creatures are also calmer around him. He has a love of doing broom tricks and will sometimes do that in his free time. There are times when he can be overly trusting but he claims that he's seeing the best in others. He does spend a decent amount of time in the nonmagical world. His hope is to one day incorporate more of that world into the magical one. He's likes art in all forms and has held exhibitions of various types both magical and not. Each year he also holds a student exhibition and contest. He never feels confident enough in his own work to show it off as much as he'd like. He always makes sure to have a sketch pad with him.

Family: A mother, father, one older sister, two older brothers
Hometown: Born in Boston, raised in London from 10 years old on
Backstory: When he was 10 years old Andrew or “AJ” as he was called, moved from America to England for his mother’s job. It was there that he discovered that he was a wizard. After some infighting between whether he should attend Hogwarts or move back to America, it was decided that he would attend Hogwarts to not only stay close but to also have his family retain their memories of him since if they moved back, they would’ve had to have followed the law there. When he was at Hogwarts, he felt like a stranger. However, this was soon cast out from him mind when he made a few friends who were not only interested in his life in America but were also interested in life outside of the wizarding world. As the years went by and he learned more spells, he found that he could cast a full body patronus, a thestral. When he showed this to others, they were apprehensive and distanced themselves from him for a time. Once he left Hogwarts, he travelled to America to reconnect with his family there, careful to hide his wizarding side from them while there. He also went around to learn more about magical creatures where he could. He moved from America to places all over the world, eventually arriving once more to Hogwarts where he was offered a Professorship there. He’s been teaching there for the past 3 years and loves doing so.

Likes: Magical Creatures, His students, flying, Hogwarts, adventure, Art
Dislikes: His OCD, rudeness, selfishness, bitter foods, the non magical world
Fears: Existentialism
Hobbies: Art (draw, act, etc.)
Mental Disorders: OCD
Sexuality: Homosexual
Relationship Status: Open

  Appearance

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Appearance:
  
  Lis has a small frame and is pretty short – he’s always been smaller than his peers and has a hard time coping with that, leading to him wearing a lot of platform shoes to give him a subtle boost of height, even if it’s not a lot. He used to have a very clean look with longer curly hair and no piercings or anything, he barely wore jewelry or anything. But, going through a period of rebellion, he shaved his hair pretty short and dresses a little more freely. He paints his nails black and wears a lot of comfy but well put together outfits. He also got his tongue and ears pierced right before school started, a subtle piercing he could hide while still feeling rebellious.
  
  He wears a lot of sweaters and jeans outfits because they are comfy and he gets sensory issues. He usually prioritizes comfort in his selection of outfits but will also never wear anything that is too frumpy or plain, as having a put together look was hammered into his head so much growing up. That being said, he has a lot of soft sweaters that he cycles through pretty regularly when he needs something that has a non-abrasive non-irritating fabric. He wears a lot of blues and greens.
  
  He will often start the day wearing some jewelry, like a necklace or bracelet, and will end up taking it off as the day goes on, whether because it was irritating or because he was fidgeting with them. This often ends up in him losing those accessories.
  
  Scent: cedar and basil
  
  Height & Weight: 5'5, 142 lbs
  
  Body Modifications: His tongue and ears are pierced
  
  Physical Disabilities: He is Hard of Hearing and uses hearing aids -- he is more deaf in his left ear than his right, but even without his hearing aids can hear a little bit out of both

  Persona

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Personality:
  Lis didn’t grow up with much comfort, having to learn to self-soothe and console after his brother was taken from him, so he doesn’t have much patience for others’ emotions, unable to share his own even if he desperately needs help from others. This leads him to having struggles connecting with others even though he really does want friends. He also finds solace in being alone, managing to fill his time up doing his own things, forgetting his loneliness until he sees others having a good time without him.
  
  That being said, he had friends for much of his Castelobruxo experience, they were just very vapid and surface level. However, they threw great parties, which were great for him to unwind, and he would participate quite often, so he knows a little bit about throwing parties and partying. He’s actually pretty fun at parties, unwinding and losing a bit of his tenseness, making him a bit easier to talk to about nothing and everything.
  
  When he’s not partying, he’s kind of matter-of fact and blunt, always letting you know if you are wrong about something, especially if it’s something he knows particularly well. He isn’t good at filtering his thoughts, but he is often too anxious to speak in the first place, so you will either get a very quiet Lis or one who doesn’t know how to shut up (and often says things that aren’t necessarily the “right things”). That being said, he is a very good chameleon if he must interact with you, even if he doesn’t want to, due to years of going to socialite parties and interacting with people of notoriety. A lot of his silence is due to not knowing the socially accepted response and being forced to play in between the lines a lot of his life.
  
  Recently, his life kind of turned upside down so he’s been a little more rebellious and more open to breaking the rules, whereas before he was very much a stickler for the rules. Still, sometimes he is swallowed up in his old ways and is a very by-the-rules person, imposing those rules on others and not letting others oppose the authority of things, believing it to be the right thing, even if he does not agree with it.
  
  Positive Traits: perceptive, almost photographic memory, educated, articulate, clean, organized, dedicated, disciplined, quiet, sneaky, focused, eager to take charge when necessary, generous, incorruptible, logical, resourceful, self-reliant, studious
  
  Negative Traits: stubborn, distant, anxious, calculating, kind of bland (due to not being able to form his own personality growing up), cynical, gullible, easily irritable, sensitive, Very regretful, hyper aware of his surroundings
  
  MBTI Type: ESTJ (The Director)
  
  Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral
  
  Temperament: Phlegmatic
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Likes: music, the quiet, the moon, being outside during a peaceful night, walks by himself, gardens, reading books (usually nonfiction), experimenting with clothing, the stars, waking up early, sweaters, surrealistic paintings
  
  Dislikes: total silence, puzzles, loud noises, large crowds of people, big, formal social gatherings, messy rooms, scratchy or fuzzy textures, styrofoam texture, overly citrus-y scents, trying new foods, metaphors, non-literal language,
  
  Habits: biting his nails, fidgeting with basically anything around him, patting rhythms out on things, usually his legs,
  
  Fears: owls, germs, social interactions, authority, not being real, being left behind, losing people who are close to him, thestrals, spiders, losing the rest of his hearing, losing his senses entirely, never seeing his brother again, claustrophobia, public speaking, rats
  
  Hobbies: art (he does a lot of paintings and drawings, almost always having a sketchbook on him), playing the ukulele and piano, researching muggle history and how it intersects with wizarding history, collecting muggle coins from different locations, tending to and learning about plants, making flower crowns/flower jewlery
  
  Mental Disorders: (undiagnosed) autism, anxiety

  Background

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Family:
  -- Maristela Valencia - mother - witch
  -- Félix Valencia - father - wizard
  -- Néstor Valencia - older brother - squib
  -- Santos Valencia - younger brother - wizard
  -- Flora Valencia -- younger sister - witch
  
  Hometown: Barranquilla, Columbia
  
  Backstory:
  
  Lis grew up in a very affluential wizarding family with very high expectations of him. His father, Félix, was a famous duelist turned auror who eventually became head of the aurors’ office in Columbia, where Lis grew up. His mother, Maristela, was a journalist and socialite who managed to quickly climb the social ladder early in life and met Félix through an interview with him for her paper. That interview turned into a dinner, and a conversation that continued through the night. Both of them were practical and understood their places in the social ladder and chose to team up to continue each other’s upward motions.
  
  While they loved each other, they both had lost their way as time went on, concerned with their image (and by extension, eventually, their children’s images) more than the home that they had once envisioned for their children. All of the Valencia children were expected to be high achieving and social from a young age, always attending social events and meeting other affluential people’s children, doing a song and dance of pretending to like each other when often their only connection was rich parents.
  
  Lis and his older brother, Néstor, were about two years apart in age and were very close when they were growing up. Lis was a small child and had a lot of anxieties, he wasn’t very good socially and he was sick much of the time, but with Néstor by his side it wasn’t so bad. Néstor would often talk where he couldn’t and would hold his hand when he was scared. Even when Néstor began to get older and not really show any inclination of magic, he stood strong by Lis’s side and never wavered. Until the years passed and passed and even Lis had started to accidentally make things fly or half transfigure things into something else, while Néstor had not so much as half produced something magical. Even before he was supposed to receive a letter confirming his acceptance into school, his parents had assumed that he wouldn’t have ended up a magical being and decided to send him away, a tarnish on their reputation, to live with Maristela’s similarly exiled squib brother in America. Lis hasn’t seen him since.
  
  After Néstor’s exile, his parents treated Lis as their oldest, thrusting him into the pressure of the eldest sibling to live up to all of their hopes and dreams – a pressure that Lis was not prepared for, 8 years old and suddenly without a person who’d become his rock. His mental health quickly declined, being forced into these social events his parents attended without his shield, expected to be able to talk to others smoothly and always know what to say.
  
  To his siblings, Lis really was the oldest because they were too young when Néstor was sent away to remember him at all, which meant that as Lis grew up he quickly had to stop mourning his personal loss of his brother and step into the role of oldest sibling. As he reached his teenage years and had to go to even more important social gatherings with his parents, he began to learn how to at least pretend he was good at them and if he said something weird or dumb would smooth it over only to agonize about it later. His fears, too, were quickly shoved to the backburner as he tried to live up to his parents’ expectations of a socially suave and talented eldest son.
  
  When he began attending Castelobruxo, he immediately tried to get with the ‘in’ crowd in any way possible so that it wouldn’t be harder later on, because he knew that his parents would know everything about his time there, having been friends with many of the teachers and parents of the other students for quite some time, and that they would want him to make a name for himself. However, this also meant that he participating in some nasty treatment of other students on occasion, just falling into the rudeness and toxicity of the other “popular” kids and mirroring their behaviors, whatever it took to be accepted for once and maybe be enough for his parents.
  
  In his private time, however, he was just an artist and a lover of herbology who wanted to be left alone and didn’t want to have to climb these stupid and ridiculous obstacles to be accepted – he didn’t even agree with the heights he was trying to reach to, his goals weren’t really his. His parents wanted him to be an auror, but he wanted to be an herbologist or perhaps a healer. However, his professors being friends with his parents caused them to kind of push him along the auror route and they would send him extracurricular materials on becoming one (which promptly got shoved into a trunk and never looked at). He had basically given up on being anything he wanted that wasn’t prescribed by his parents lest he faced the same fate as his brother Néstor.
  
  However, the summer before his 6th year of school, his world turned upside down. He received a letter from his brother Néstor while his parents were out of the country on a business trip. While they had received letters from Néstor occasionally (mostly holidays or birthdays, basic stuff, just a reminder that he existed), it was never quite like this. This letter had had a tone of almost… defeat, detailing to Lis how Néstor had been writing him for years but he didn’t know if Lis just didn’t want to talk to him or what, but he would keep writing these letters until he got a response, and talking about his life in America with their uncle, and how he was doing okay. But Lis had never received a letter like this before, so while his parents were still gone, he dug through his father’s study to see if there were any more. He’d found eight years of letters addressed to him, correspondence about Néstor’s eight years away from his brother and a lot of Néstor’s isolation, not having his brother with him.
  
  This crushed Lis, and he sat on it for much of the summer until he confronted his parents about it, causing a huge blowup right before he returned to school for his sixth year, leading him to be rebellious until school started and for the beginning of it, rejecting all his old friends in his friend group as he’d decided he wasn’t interested in falling into his parents messed up expectations or respecting their wishes.
  
  At least, until his name was pulled from the Goblet of Fire. A name he hadn’t entered, but wouldn’t dare dispute, because he knew it was the doing of his parents and there wouldn’t be a real way out of it anyway. However, he determined if he was going to be forced into this that he’d do it his own way for once.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  Relationships

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Sexuality: Gay, questioning
  
  Relationship Status: Single
  
  Crush(es):
  
  -- Baxter Flynn: He was a student who took part in one of Castelobruxo's foreign exchange programs from Hogwarts. He was in Lis' circle only in that the popular kids like to latch onto these foreign exchange program kids because they are new and exciting. He didn't really pursue the crush, because he was pretty sure Baxter was straight and Lis himself wasn't quite out yet.
  
  -- Nico Sala: One of the popular kids in his circle who he violently rejected when he came back to school this year. Nico wasn't the meanest of them, just had his own ambitions. He and Lis never had anything directly, though they would occasionally flirt it was hard to tell if it was joking or half serious. He didn't break the friendship cleanly with Nico and wishes he'd handled the whole situation better, but he didn't really know how to have a total rejection of his past self.
  
  (if you are interested in playing either of these characters as one of yours, i'm willing to plot and also change the name idc)

  Turn-Ons: confidence, tattoos (especially unique ones with stories, he likes putting meaning to things), people who can take the charge in a social situation, someone who can bring out the better side of him, spontaneity, adventurous and outdoorsy
  
  Turn-Offs: excessive loudness, sloppiness, people who are demanding of him or tell him what to do, not being given his own space, overly emotional people, having to give up his preferences or change himself too much to fit into someone's life, someone of a high social status because he knows his parents want him to be with someone like that

  Appearance

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Appearance:
  Dakota is kind of tall for her age, with a medium, kind of well built frame from being sporty that she makes sure to utilize to take up as much space as she can, unashamed of herself and not letting people diminish her easily. She has natural curly hair that she wears in many styles, in both natural and protective styles.
  
  She has a very fashion-forward style, wearing what she wants and often starting trends amongst her peers at Hogwarts. She wears a lot of very colorful clothing, both bright and natural, and enjoys floral and abstract patterns. She also pulls a lot of inspiration from muggle fashion, making her own earrings and accessories as fashion statements that many wizards simply have not seen, and that’s how she likes it. She likes looking exciting and drawing attention to herself, because if she is going to be different she might as well embrace it.
  
  Scent: tangerine and jasmine
  
  Height & Weight: 5'8, 137 lbs
  
  Body Modifications: Her ears are pierced twice on her lobes and on her right ear is an industrial piercing

  Faceclaim: Storm Reid
  

  
  
  
  
  

  Persona

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Personality:
  Dakota’s stance on life is to be aggressively positive. She wants to include everyone that she can and goes out of her way to friend those who seem like outsiders. She knows what it’s like to not have any friends and doesn’t think that anyone should go through that (the exceptions are if you are cruel to others, then she probably won’t reach out to you). She is a typically very bubbly and friendly person, though she can get loud sometimes when she gets excited. Mostly, she is kindhearted and warm to those around her.
  
  She is also rebellious, not always wanting to follow the rules if she thinks they go against her “aggressively positive” mantra. If a rule or person prevents someone from living their absolute truth or encourages uncalled for negativity towards someone, she fights it as hard as she can. She thinks a lot of the rules (at Hogwarts, in society) are unnecessary and just made to control others’ behavior and she chooses to ignore them even if it gets her in trouble (i.e. breaking uniform code a lot because she doesn’t want to just wear a robe all the time). She gets in trouble a lot, but that’s also mostly just due to her picking fights on the kids who bully her friends or when she’s seen doodling messages of positivity on the desks and walls of Hogwarts.
  
  Positive Traits: daring, adventurous, caring, empathetic, enthusiastic, individualistic, lovable, loyal, daydreamer, dependable, spontaneous, sociable, passionate, original, intuitive, trendy
  
  Negative Traits: impatient, impulsive, argumentative, risk taker, short sighted, defiant, unstable, willful, rowdy, reactionary (sometimes), opinionated, messy
  
  MBTI Type: ESTP (The Pursuader)
  
  Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good
  
  Temperament: Sanguine
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Likes: the ocean, road trips, video games, piercings, vintage clothing, Potions class, funky earrings, photography, sports! especially Quidditch but in muggle school she played soccer and she swims, crunchy foods like pickles, urban exploring
  
  Dislikes: the rain, thunder, eating in front of people, being seen in her sister's shadow, stinky perfumes/colognes, reading a lot, ketchup, waking up early, bees, restrictive rules, people who complain about other people but never reflect on themselves, judgy people, fireworks, surprises, cleaning, really cold places
  
  Habits: she chews gum a lot and wears funky bracelets she can fidget with,
  
  Fears: not being her own person, clowns, horses, trypophobia, dying/someone she loves dying, masks, quick change
  
  Hobbies: Quidditch broom care (she takes care of the Hufflepuff team's gear because she's good at it), pottery (she likes making functional things and getting her hands dirty), beadwork and making jewelry, doodling, playing muggle video games when she's at home

  Background

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Family:
  -- Penelope Brasher - mother - muggle librarian
  -- Abilene Lachance -- step mom (married to Penelope) - muggle blacksmith
  -- Ezra Moss - father - wizard librarian
  -- Parker Moss - sister - witch
  
  Hometown:
  
  Backstory:
  Dakota’s super early years were fairly normal. Her parents were in love and had their two kids, a dog and a white picket fence. She had a healthy relationship with both of her parents, and they went on family outings regularly, a big vacation to the beach. Things were going well until she was about 7 and her sister was 11 and received a letter from Hogwarts announcing her magic. This was news to Dakota’s mother Penelope, who was kind of hit out of nowhere about it and struggled with accepting the fact that it took 11+ years for Ezra to let her know this fact about himself. They struggled for about a year before they separated, not only due to Ezra’s dishonesty by omission.
  
  When Dakota was 8, her parents officially separated and she began travelling between their houses every week while her sister was off at wizard school, left alone to deal with her parents being tense with one another (even though they tried to not be while Dakota was around). Her mother had met a French woman working at a local blacksmith named Abilene Lachance and fell in love and they began dating around the time Dakota was 10. She struggled with feeling very different from her peers, not only because she knew she was this magical creature and most of her classmates statistically were probably not, but because she had a hard time focusing in class and controlling her volume and her personality and the other kids thought she was kind of weird.
  
  Luckily, that period in her life didn’t last a very long time, because at 11 she received her Hogwarts letter and found a new place to call home. She found a group of friends who accepted her (primarily made of Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, with one or two Ravenclaws in the mix). They were the equivalent of punks in the magical scene on Hogwarts grounds, not falling into their sneaky ways until their second year of Hogwarts (they were too in awe the first year to stir up trouble). They would sneak out at night and just hang out on the Quidditch pitch, not really doing much other than talk shit about their peers and play some of their made-up games and plan harmless pranks on the student body.
  
  Mabel Warren was one of her friends in the group, a Slytherin and Chaser for the Slytherin Quidditch team. They were jokingly rivals on the Quidditch pitch but almost inseparable off of it. They weren’t really the ringleaders of the group, but they had been the first two to meet and organize it, each recruiting their friends from their houses to hang out every Friday night. One night, Dakota confessed that she had a crush on her and they began dating for a bit, Dakota falling totally head over heels for her while Mabel strung her along because she thought her crush was cute and she’d liked her back at first. But eventually, Mabel started to get annoyed with Dakota, her loudness and her desire for positive attention from her friends and began to comment on it, how Dakota should be a little quieter and deal with her problems on her own. When they broke up, it didn’t make the group fall apart or really change the dynamics at all, other than Dakota was really hurt for a long time about it. Luckily, Dakota had managed to swallow her feelings down this once and nobody had tried to pick sides between them. At least, that’s what Dakota thought at first until Mabel slowly started to pull away, along with some of the group until Dakota was left with a little less than half of their friends, losing some of her closest friends and sending her into a spiral.
  
  A summer passed and she got over it, deciding to double down on taking up space and being herself, not allowing Mabel’s comments made during their relationship get to her. She decided to just try and bring more people into her little group and make people feel welcome into it. She started doing little positivity graffiti projects on Hogwarts grounds, ones that were easy to remove by magical means, along with protesting some of the injustice she saw on campus.
  
  She decided to throw her name into the Goblet so that Hogwarts could have a positive representative, but she figures being a second is just as good.

• 
  
  
  

  Appearance

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Appearance:
  Kaz has long shaggy hair that he sometimes puts into a little ponytail or bun, though usually in the classroom he has it styled or slicked back a little. Around school sometimes it will be pulled back, especially if they are doing a more hands-on project or if he’s just at school casually outside of that classroom (especially at games). He also usually has facial hair of some kind, though the amount differs depending mostly on his mental health and time. Typically, it’s just a little bit of well-kept stubble, but sometimes it grows in thicker. While he has tattoos, they are primarily covered up by his clothing and he tries to keep a professional look by not showing them to his students. That being said, he usually wears long-sleeves.
  
  His style could be described as dark academia, full of button ups and sweaters and neutral earthy tones, with a little bit of green and red thrown in sometimes. His style is a little edgier, usually with a leather jacket or a funky accessory (typically just a holiday themed tie) thrown in the mix. He values professionalism in his look more than anything. However, just because he puts on professional clothes doesn’t mean that he always looks well put together, and his clothes are often wrinkly or unkempt.
  
  Scent: vanilla, coffee, cinnamon
  
  Height & Weight: 5'9, 172 lbs
  
  Body Modifications: He has tattoos along his arms and one on his ankle. They are just random designs, however the one on his ankle was his first and it was a tattoo that his whole Quidditch team got when they graduated of the brooms they rode on the majority of the time.
  
  Physical Disabilities: He has carpal tunnel, so when not writing he will sometimes wear a brace for his left hand
  
  Faceclaim: Milo Ventimiglia
  

  
  
  
  
  

  Persona

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Personality:
  Kaz is often very melancholic, keeping to himself and his own hobbies. He has a lot of baggage that he isn’t quite ready to unpack for anyone else, so he is very private about his past, unintentionally creating a bit of a mystery behind him. However, this doesn’t mean that he isn’t involved in on-campus activities. In fact, he is often seen around campus supporting his students’ different activities, providing tutoring sessions outside of class time and going to their Quidditch games. He cares very deeply about his students and it shows. He’s the kind of professor where you go to their classroom during lunch and hang out instead of the cafeteria, and many students actually often do. His classroom is very much a safe space for many of the Koldovstoretz outsider students and he does what he can for them.
  
  When not involved with his students, he’s pretty quiet and not super involved with the other professors. He has a bit of imposter syndrome, not entirely confident in his teaching ability or at least, not confident that he’s better than anyone else that could be in his position. When someone engages him, however, he’s fairly chatty and is always interested in listening to a story about someone else’s life and try to make them feel included. His presence is very warm and inviting, even when he’s not feeling his best. He always tries to uplift others and make them feel like they are important.
  
  He is a little anxious that he is the chaperone of the champion because he doesn't want to be the cause of a student's failure or even worse, losing them.
  
  Positive Traits: patient, flexible, dedicated, empathetic, focused, gentle, idealistic, kind, passionate, romantic, scholarly, reliable, sensitive, trusting, playful, trustworthy, deeply caring
  
  Negative Traits: emotional, melancholic, private, reserved, aimless, cautious, disorganized, fearful, insecure, overly inhibited, lost, perfectionist, neurotic, paranoid

  Habits: he doodles in a notebook sometimes while he is lecturing, not really looking at it but keeping his hands busy, sometimes he bites his nails but he's trying to stop, staying up late until he can no longer keep his eyes open until he finally crashes, drinking an incredible amount of coffee every day, sometimes he drinks on nights where everything is too much
  
  Fears: he has a little bit of agoraphobia, not liking wide open spaces at all, fire, emetophobia, being forgotten, doing nothing that matters with his time, big dogs, becoming his father

  Background

  
  
  
  
  

  
  Family:
  -- Zakhar Vinogradov - father - muggle
  -- Radomira Vinogradova - mother - witch
  
  Hometown:
  Omsk, Russia
  
  Backstory:
  
  Kaz’s parents met when they were fairly young. His father, Zakhar, was 20 and his mother, Radomira, was 18 and freshly graduated. Their love story was a bit of a whirlwind, moving quickly and never quite sure of where it was going to go, without much planning on how they were going to get there. Due to this lack of planning, Kazimir came out of wedlock, forcing them to get married to cover up their sins and driving a bit of a wedge between the two, especially as Radomira let Zakhar into her world and told him about being a witch. While Zakhar was perhaps not the kindest person in the first place, his behavior went south very quickly in the beginning of the marriage, turning to alcoholism and having a negative opinion of just about everything that Radomira did.
  
  Radomira took it in stride, gracefully and did not take most of the things Zakhar said to heart (on the surface anyway – being told something over and over, eventually you will start to believe at least a little bit of it). She stepped into the role of a mother and never looked back, always providing Kaz with what she could and with the most important thing she had – love. This didn’t mean that Zakhar’s actions did not also affect Kaz, because as he grew, it seemed like nothing he could ever do would be enough for his father, while his father’s alcoholism continued to grow worse and worse. By the time Kaz was eight, his father’s damage had been done – both to himself and to Kaz. The man had driven himself to an early grave via alcohol poisoning and left Kaz with a fear of becoming just like him.
  
  While Kaz was then free of his father, he feared his 11th birthday and receiving a letter he knew would change his life. His father always loomed the possibility of him being like his mother over his head, of him being magical and how terrible that was, amongst other things. But then Kaz got his letter and his mother was excited for him and so he went, and he discovered that the Wizarding World was actually a wonderful place, and though his trauma over his father still stayed, he grew up and coped with it a little better.
  
  When Kaz graduated, he wasn’t sure where he was going in his life. He didn’t know yet quite what he wanted to be, other than that he wanted to be an author of some type or work in academia. In the meantime to support himself, he began working at a shop that ended up being where he met Sveta Brankovich. They courted for a while before eventually marrying and moving in together while Kaz wrote his book. Soon, they would have a child, and everything would seem to be going great for a few years until their daughter, Eleonora developed leukemia and though they tried their hardest, no muggle or wizarding cure would help her, and they tragically lost her. This caused their marriage to quickly fall apart due to how they each separately handled the time their daughter was sick and the grieving process, Kaz stuck in the past and mourning and Sveta trying desperately to finally leave her grieving behind, process it and move on.
  
  Kaz in the meantime had been working on his academics before his daughter had passed, and now without a home or a family anymore, decided to put his energy into teaching instead. He’s been working at Koldovstoretz for a few years so his grief isn’t fresh, but it still lingers with him these days on occasions, late nights where he analyzes his mistakes. He doesn’t let this get in the way of his teaching, and he values his students very dearly.

Sorry I'm taking ages! School took over my life! I'm working on my sheets some more now, though. Finally it's the weekend.
