NAME & AGE First: Remus Middle: John Last: Lupin Origin of Name: Remus is a Roman god that was raised by a she-wolf. Lupin comes from Lupine (a French word derived from the Latin lupus) meaning “resembling the wolf.” Yes, even I find the irony amusing. Oh, and John is my father’s name. Nickname: Prongs, Padfoot, and Wormtail call me Moony. Peeves calls me ‘Loony Loopy Lupin,’ but I’m not sure that counts. Mum and Sapphire call me Remy. Age: 11 when I start at Hogwarts Birthdate: 10th of March, 1960 Zodiac: Pisces  IDENTITY & APPEARANCE Gender: male Height: When I’m “grown-up?” 5’9” Weight: Too light no matter what my age. No matter how much I eat the energy needed for transformation uses it all. Body Type: scarred and skinny Hair: light brown, almost shoulder-length Eye Colour: cadet blue Ethnicity: My parents both grew up in England, though Dad’s parents came from France. Handicaps/Disabilities: Werewolf; pointless to deny it no matter how much I despise it. Special Abilities: There’s nothing special about me. Being a werewolf does not give me super strength or enhanced hearing/smelling powers. Other Distinguishing Features: Scars, but I keep them hidden. Mode of Dress: Patched robes and long sleeved-shirts and long trousers no matter what the weather. I can’t afford to have anyone see a scar and start asking me awkward questions. FAMILYMother: Muggle-born witch Faith Lupin nee Moss Father: Pureblood wizard John Lupin Siblings: None, and I blame myself because my parents would have had more if the only child they had didn’t have such a problem. Notable Extended Family: Notable to the Wizarding World? None, but my Muggle Gram makes great desserts, which is notable in my opinion! Blood Status: half-blood – I love it because I understand almost all Muggle and Wizarding references.  PLACES Birthplace: Leics, England with Mum's Muggle family Residence1/Dates of Occupancy: I don't recall much before I was bitten in 1964... Residence2/Dates of Occupancy: Cottage in Great Wood miles outside Dalham all through my school years. We moved out of town after I was bitten because my injuries would have aroused too many questions. Schools Attended: none before Hogwarts Place of Comfort: behind a book – It doesn’t matter where I physically am if I can mentally be elsewhere. AFFILIATIONS House in School: Gryffindor Occupation: Student, Order Member….and many differing jobs that I got fired from for “mysterious absences.” Hobbies/Likes: reading, chocolate, privacy, watching plays, forests, research (only if it’s something interesting or useful), chocolate, making mischief (the kind that doesn’t hurt anyone), chocolate, and dancing (Please, don’t tell my friends that one; I’d never live it down!) Have I mentioned chocolate? Pet Peeves/Dislikes: loss of self-control, bad grammar, being the centre of attention, and loud, crowded places Clubs: None in school. I didn’t want to commit to something I’d have to be absent for every month…Wait, do the Marauders count as a ‘club?’ Special Recognition: Prefect, though I have no idea why since I was a dismal one. RELATIONSHIPS Sexual Orientation: I wish I was asexual because my kind shouldn’t breed. Previous Partner(s): Sorry, but I don’t kiss-and-tell. Current Partner/Love Interest: Um…*blush* Sapphire McGonagall. Pets: None that’s specifically mine, but my parents bought a hawk owl that I named Elation so we can exchange letters while I’m away at Hogwarts. Best Friend: James, Sirius, Peter Friends: Lily, Sapphire, Cay Acquaintances: Almost everyone in Gryffindor; they’re all good people. Rival/Enemy: I don’t hate anybody. What's the use of having anger weigh you everyday? Except Greyback... Other Non-Family Relationships: Dumbledore has my admiration and gratitude. If I chose a hero, it would be him. Reputation: Basically, I’m “that polite bookworm that James and Sirius are mates with.” I’m considered helpful and smart, but generally too quiet and boring to be noticed when I’m beside my more colourful friends. That’s the way I like it; if no one pays close attention to me then they won’t deduce my secret. DISPOSITION Personality - positive characteristics: I try to be patient and courteous, and I don’t complain or hold grudges. I guess that’s it. *friends shove him over* “Remus is self-sacrificing, brave, loyal, appreciative, supportive, compassionate, sensitive, intelligent, and really damn funny sometimes. Oh, and very, very modest, but we’re not sure modesty is a good thing.” *friends leave & Remus internally denies praise* Personality - negative characteristics: I seek the approval of my loved ones more than I should. I feel guilty over things that others insist aren’t my fault. Intelligence: I’m good at history because I enjoy it, and good at Defense since work hardest at it because I know that since I’m a creature people want exterminated I must be able to defend myself. I’m absolutely abysmal at Potions; I understand the theory just fine, but even if I work carefully I can’t make the brews correctly. Behaviour: I work very hard in an attempt to not disappoint anyone. Habits: I rub my quill against my chin when I’m thinking of what to write. Speech/Accent/Voice: It’s hoarse when I’m tired…and I’m tired often. Strengths: I have excellent self-control. I hate losing control as the wolf, so as a human I exert a great deal of it. Apparently, I’m good at explaining things too, for after fellow students ask me to explain a homework problem they almost always understand it. People tell me I should become a professor. Not likely. Who would trust a beast around children? Weaknesses/Insecurities: Werewolves are so disgusting that when people tell me that they’re fine with it I still worry someday they’ll realise that I’m not worth it.  BACKSTORYMy grandparents on my father’s side were wealthy purebloods from France that moved here so they’d be closer to their son while he was at Hogwarts. They weren’t thrilled when he married a poor Muggle-born witch, but they still welcomed him and his wife into their family. My grandparents were actually pleased when my parents had me because I apparently showed “great magical promise” at a young age. I’ve always been a little too curious. It’s a trait that my friends like to exploit in me for their mischievous plots, and what ultimately led to my bite. When my parents took me camping and I heard a strange sound I left the tent to find out what it was and…and, well, I don’t want to talk about it, but the rest – as they say - is history. My father’s parents tried to convince Mum and Dad to hand me over to Ministry facility for dangerous creatures. When they refused, none of my father’s relatives spoke to him again. He says he doesn’t regret it, but I know he misses them sometimes, and it’s all my fault. My mother’s family is all Muggles. Even though they know she and father are wizards I don’t speculate that they realise werewolves are real, much less that I happen to be one. I see them on holidays, and I think they’re nice people, but I have to be on my guard around them. I was five years-old when I was bitten. Knowing from experience that werewolves have no control when transformed, I bore no ill-will towards who bit me…until I got older and my parents had no choice but to tell me that Greyback had bitten me intentionally after my father offended him. My father spent what fortune he had gotten before his parents disinherited him on unsuccessfully trying to find a cure for me. My mother quit working so she could stay home to take care of me (I was often sick, and injured myself more when I was young since my body was less accustomed to the transformations.) and teach me. My parents agreed that I couldn’t go to a Muggle school because my absences and injuries would make teachers call social workers about suspected parental abuse. As a result, I never interacted with other children and couldn’t make friends. I didn’t mind; I had books to read. Mum and Dad told me how most wizards wouldn’t accept me if they knew I was werewolf, so I liked books not only because they took me through time and across continents, but because they were reliable companions. When Dumbledore came to our home and explained that I could go to Hogwarts, my father was so grateful that he cried, but Mum was reluctant about me getting proper care without her. I love both of my parents dearly, however, they’re quite overprotective, and even I grew flustered when they continuously told me about how careful I needed to be because if anyone learned about my condition I’d be expelled even if Dumbledore didn’t wish it. My parents are both intelligent people, but I'm glad that they were very wrong about assuming no one would accept my condition. MAGICAL ME Wand: pine, unicorn hair, ten inches – dependable and pure Memory caused by Dementors: Night I was bitten by Greyback Memory used for Patronus: When I found out my friends accepted my lycanthropy. Form of Patronus: Lynx – I suppose it’s the courage and unity of the Gryffindor Lion, but in a more secretive feline form. Boggart: Full moon Riddikulus: It’s fairly easy to change a circle. I could turn into a spinning wheel, a target, cheese, a cockroach…Whatever strikes my fancy, really. Amortentia: I smell libraries (Yes, they have a scent; it’s dust and old parchment), chocolate, honeysuckle, and stone passages (probably because of how much I enjoy exploring them with my friends). Mirror of Erised: Myself as a human. I want to be just like everyone else, and not a burden on anyone.

You want to know about me? It’s none of your business, so sod off! Fine, here’s my profile: Identity: Not stolen Place of Birth: Outside a womb Species: Negotiable Hair: Yes Eyes: 2 Sex: Not with you Personality: Disordered Happy? No? Tell someone who cares. Will you stop talking to me if I show you some pictures? I'm smiling in one of these pictures. Don't count on ever actually seeing me smile if we ever meet in person. Don't count on seeing me with goop on my face either, like that last one. I only look posh in that shot since one time I let Sapphire dress me up, and if you tell anyone I swear I'll hex you 'til you can't have children. Now, will you you get a life and stay out of mine? Okay, you really want to know about me? Don't say that I didn't warn you... NAME & AGE First: Emmeline Middle: Deborah Last: Vance Maiden: Puh, as if I’d ever get married! Origin of Name: Vance is a Muggle surname meaning "marsh, fen." Deborah is my mother’s name. I guess my parents just liked Emmeline. Nickname: Anyone can call me Em or Vance or whatever. I don’t care. I only tolerate Emmie from Sapphire. Age: 16 Birthdate: 29th of October, 1960 Zodiac: Scorpio IDENTITY & APPEARANCE Gender: I pee sitting down. Height: 5 feet 3 inches Weight: No idea. I never get on a scale; appearance means nothing to me. Body Type: Hopefully undesirable. I seriously don't want anyone to fancy me. Hair: Chestnut brown hair that doesn't go far passed my shoulders. It’s messy, though nowhere near Potter-messy. It'd probably be less messy if I bothered to brush it instead of just tossing it up in a pony-tail or a headband. Eye Colour: also chestnut brown Ethnicity: Welsh Handicaps/Disabilities: Indifference? I think it's better not to get caught up in other people's problems, but people complain that I'm insensitive. Sucks for them. Special Abilities: sees Threstrals Other Distinguishing Features: I have a thin scar on the outside of my left arm from before my elbow to above my wrist. Mode of Dress: Whatever’s closest to me that doesn’t smell too bad. FAMILYMother: Deborah Vance - gardener that rich wizards and Muggles hire to design their home gardens Father: Silvestre Vance – corpse Adoptive/Step Parents: Zip, Nada, Ziltch, Nul, Zero, None. Get it? Siblings: I had an older sister named Destiny once… Notable Extended Family: None that are important in my life Blood Status: Half-blood…One-fourth’s blood if you wanna be technical. PLACES Birthplace: Aberystwyth, Wales Residence1/Dates of Occupancy: Aberystwyth, Wales until age 6 Residence2/Dates of Occupancy: Various motels throughout Wales and England between the ages of 6 and 7 1/2 Residence3/Dates of Occupancy: Dublin, Ireland until present Schools Attended: Aberystwyth Elementary for Muggles, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Place of Comfort: Wherever there are animals instead of people, preferably near a body of water. AFFILIATIONS House in School: Gryffindor Occupation: Student, future Order member Hobbies/Likes: Animals, solitude, calming music, skipping stones, flying, and loyal people that stand up for their personal beliefs. Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Humans in general, especially men. Clubs: As if I really want to be in a club and socialise with people?! All right, after many years they finally wore me down and got me to join the Quidditch team, but I only agreed because I got to be Seeker and didn’t have to work with anyone directly. Special Recognition: Don’t have one. Don’t want one. RELATIONSHIPS Sexual Orientation: I haven’t decided yet. Is that a problem for you? Previous Partner(s): I thought I told you to sod off ages before this? Current Partner/Love Interest: Dammit, I’ll hex you into next week! Just get lost! Pets: None, but I help take care of the schools’ animals when no one is around. Best Friend: Sapphire McGonagall Friends: Human friends? None. Well, I guess the girls in my dorm are okay. Acquaintances: I know everyone in my year because of classes, but that doesn’t mean that I like them. Rival/Enemy: I hate everyone equally. Reputation: I’m known as the Resident B-with-an-ITCH of Gryffindor. I work to keep it that way so people don’t bother me. DISPOSITION Personality - positive characteristics: I don’t take rubbish from anyone, and I protect my best friend. Personality - negative characteristics: I’m defensive, insensitive, and rude. I don’t give anyone a chance because I have no faith in people. Intelligence: I’m great in Herbology (probably hereditary from Deborah’s gardening) and Care of Magical Creatures. I fail all my History of Magic and Divination exams because I think they’re useless. Behaviour: If I ever make a joke, I have a cruelly sarcastic or sexual sense of humour, which is odd since I have little interest in sex. Habits: I skip stones when I need to think Speech/Accent/Voice: My accent is mostly Welsh, but living in Ireland for so long affects how I say a few words. My voice is low for a woman, but I use it to speak in a cold rather than a sultry, seductive way. Strengths: I don’t let anyone influence me. I’m almost fearless; once you’ve lived through what I have not much fazes you. Weaknesses/Insecurities: I’m afraid that someday my best friend won’t need me anymore because she’ll have a husband and other friends to protect her. BACKSTORY Deborah was a half-blood witch that married the Muggle Silvestre Vance. Silvestre was a fanatical Catholic that thought witchcraft was a horrible sin. Deborah loved Silvestre, so she stopped using magic altogether when she married him and he never knew that she was a witch. Because she’d grown up a half-blood she was familiar with Muggle life, so it wasn’t difficult for her. Everything was lovely between them until she had Destiny, and then me less than a year later. Naturally, Destiny and I inherited Deborah’s magical power. Because wizarding children can’t control their abilities we eventually raised one-too-many of Silvestre’s questions; Deborah confessed to him and to us that it had to do with magic. Silvestre went mad and said we all had to go to church to have the demons purged from our bodies, and burned at the stake if we refused. (The U.K. stopped burning people at the stake in the 1800s, but I told you that he was a fanatic.) Deborah took Destiny and I away from our home that night. We traveled through much of Wales and England trying to avoid Silvestre, who was pursuing us. Even though he wanted his own children dead, Deborah still loved him too much to report him to Muggle or Wizarding authorities. While on the run, we had almost no money, and I learned plenty of ways to sneak around and steal. Destiny and I were children, and we saw it as a game instead of something “wrong,” especially because using our untrained wandless magic was fun (even though Deborah told us not to use it since she still refused to use her own). To be honest, to this day I still don’t feel guilty about any of thefts, most of which were food and small change. Anyway, after a year and half of successfully evading Silvestre, he finally caught up to us. He broke into the cheap, dirty Muggle motel room that we were staying in with two narrow beds (Destiny and I in one, and Deborah in the other). The sicko came at his kids first since we were closer. He had a knife, and I instinctively raised my arm over my face to protect myself. That's how I got the scar. Destiny shoved me off of the mattress, needing to move herself slightly into Silvestre’s path to do so. Whether saving me was something she did out of instinct or courage I’ll never know. Let's skip the gory details, shall we? Basically, I saw my father kill my sister. Then, when my mother woke up to the sound of her elder daughter's screams, I saw her murder my father with magic powers she hadn't used in a decade. People wonder why I’m cynical. Three days later we got on a boat that took us to Ireland, We moved to Dublin where we existed for a while. Yes we existed; I wouldn’t call it living. After Destiny’s death, we began calling each other “Deborah and Emmeline” instead of “Mum and Em.” I’m not sure why. It just felt right. A few months before I turned ten, I was out by a park’s lake skipping stones - a trick that Destiny had taught me around my fifth birthday – when a girl came up to me. Children my age had approached me before, but something in my eyes had sent them scampering away quickly. This girl wasn’t like them. It was like she had such a ridiculous amount of happiness that she was determined to give me some since she couldn’t possibly use it all herself. I tried to push the girl away, and even stopped going to the lake. However, I kept seeing her around town and she wouldn’t stop coming over to talk to me. And singing, she was always singing. She wasn’t great at it, but music sort-of makes me feel at peace and the fact that she sang so much made her different from everyone and piqued what little curiosity I had left, so I eventually gave in and spent time with her. Of course, this girl is Sapphire McGonagall, the only person besides Deborah that knows about Destiny, and the only person besides Deborah that I have any affection for. Seeing a family treat one another the way that mine did made me disgusted by humanity in general. I prefer animal companions. In particular, I loath human men (probably because of Silvestre). Sapphire and I go to Hogwarts together now. She loves all people the same way that I hate them, and tries to spread her absurd cheerfulness and kindness to as many people as possible. I get very jealous, but I try not to show it since I know the girl loves and needs me as much as I do her. Honestly, if I figured that Sapphire could manage without me I’d probably flunk out of school because studying is a complete waste of time and sometimes I don’t even bother showing up for class. Sapphire is so trusting and willing to help that she would be in loads of trouble without me around to hex the gits that try to take advantage of her. Sapphire is also obsessed with love, which I consider a myth. Deborah loved Silvestre, and look at how he treated her! I won’t fall in love. I’ll never give someone that type of power over me. Never. MAGICAL ME Wand: Yew, occamy feather, seven inches. - Defensive. Good for magic fuelled by emotions. Memory caused by Dementors: Night of Destiny’s murder Memory used for Patronus: Day Sapphire and I saw a unicorn Form of Patronus: Goat (Destiny was a Capricorn) Boggart: Destiny’s ghost saying that I disgust her because I’ve done nothing with the life she gave hers to protect. Riddikulus: There is no way to make that funny in my eyes. Amortentia: fresh water, animals, herbs, Destiny’s favourite pastry, honeysuckle Mirror of Erised: The four of us as a happy family. It’s disgusting that I want Silvestre in my life, but I pathetically want to go back to the carefree times before anything bad happened between us.

Boggart: A long dark hallway. I know that at the end it holds the ones hold most dearly, I just can’t get there with them.
Riddikulus: All the ones I care for jump out singing happy birthday and begin to dance.
Amortentia: Raspberry, Grass, and Pumpkin Juice (Lily’s favorite food, the Quidditch Pitch, and Lily’s favorite drink.)
Mirror of Erised: Lily and I married.

When I was young, I had no clue what I wanted. I got involved with some people that weren’t good for me. I feel in love, I was 17. I thought he was my soul mate; he didn’t love me at all.
Everyone always told me Slytherins were horrible people. I didn’t believe them, and I still don’t. I fell in love with a boy two years younger then me and his name was Tom Riddle.
Tom was the ‘it’ boy. Back then, I was the ‘it’ girl. Well, I was Head Girl, leader of my pack and intelligent. His eyes captivated me. They were mysterious and I could never tell what was going on in them.
Tom and I were together for 2 years when he started acting quite strange. I found out he was rallying a group called Death Eaters. I told him to cut it out or it was over. We got in a fight and I found the true Tom Riddle that night. I was tortured by him personally. It was the worst night of my life. When Dumbledore offered me a position in the Order, I accepted. Tom Riddle never loved me and I swore I would get back at him.

Marauders' Role Play Character Application
NAME & AGE
First: Regulus
Middle: Arcturus
Last: Black
Origin of Name:
Regulus = Latin for 'the little king;' the brightest star in the constellation Leo. Regulus is also the name of a fallen angel. It was the name of my father’s brother, my great Uncle.
Arcturus = Latin for 'bear guardian;' the fourth brightest star in the night sky, whose rising and setting was thought by the Romans to foretell tempestuous weather. It was the name of my father’s father, my grandfather.
Age: I’m 11 just before school begins in 1972, 16 in 1977, and 18 in 1979(yr. of his death)
Birth date: August 29th,1961
Zodiac: Virgo
 IDENTITY & APPEARANCE
Gender: Male, wasn’t that obvious?
Height: I’m still growing, but I am shorter than Sirius was at my age. I hate how he picks on me for that too.
Weight: I’m fairly light weight for my age.
Body Type: I’m slender, not muscular but still strong, and very agile.
Hair: Black
Eye Color: brown
Ethnicity: English
Handicaps/Disabilities: I’m a purebred, pureblood wizard, do you think I have any disabilities to deal with? No, I wouldn’t either.
Special Abilities: I am a really good flyer and have some skill at chess.
Other Distinguishing Features: There is a small scar right on the outwards end of my left eye. You can hardly tell it is there, but I know it is since it itches quite a bit.
Mode of Dress: I’m a wizard son in a wizard family, I dress like a wizard should. I wear the school uniforms at school. My favorite colors are Green, Brown, Red, and Black, so a lot of my casual cloths are these colors.
FAMILY The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Toujours pur
Father: Orion Black
Mother: Walburga Black
Siblings: Sirius Orion Black is my older brother.
Notable Extended Family: Phineas Nigellus Black
Blood Status: Pure-blood, would I really be anything else considering the information I just gave you?
PLACES
Birthplace: I was born at home, just like my older brother was.
Residence1/Dates of Occupancy: 12 Grimmauld Place, London
Schools Attended: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Place of Comfort: My room at home, and the Quidditch field.
 AFFILIATIONS
House in School: Slytherin, just where a Black should be.
Occupation: Student, if that actually counts. Does that count?
Hobbies/Likes: I like to play Quidditch and play wizard’s chess. I’m not the best at Chess though, but I at least know I’m better than Sirius. When we were kids I used to play with him and at times I would let him win so he wouldn’t be too upset with the game to the point that he refused to play with me anymore. We haven’t played a game a chess against each other in awhile though.
I’m also quite intrigued by Voldemort and his followers, I follow his progress in the prophet and keep all the clippings.
Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Muggles, mudbloods, and blood traitors. Fans of the Cannons.
Clubs: Quidditch, played seeker from second year till my seventh. I join the Death Eaters when I’m 16.
Special Recognition: Slytherin Seeker, (1973)
RELATIONSHIPS
Sexual Orientation: I’m into girls, I just haven’t dated all that much.
Previous Partner(s): none, so far.
Current Partner/Love Interest: Yeah, like I’d tell anyone, Sirius would find out somehow and never leave me alone for it.
Pets: Winglet, the owl I share with Sirius. Why he prefers to call him “Wings” is beyond me. I quite like the name I gave him, don’t you?
Best Friend: There was a time in our youth, I would have shouted Sirius’s name quite loudly to that question. Now that we’re older, I’d have to say he no longer holds that position in my eyes anymore.
Friends: My fellow Slytherins, of course. Rabastan Lestrange is one of my more closer friends.
Acquaintances: Here is where Sirius would go, I presume.
Rival/Enemy: The other Quidditch players of the other houses, I especially detest it when we have to face off with Ravenclaw in my later school years, that Minesca girl can get anyone distracted with just a glance or a few words, it makes going against her for the snitch so irritating. Plus, Sirius usually chooses to cheer for her and her team, why does he do that?! I’m his younger brother, he should be cheering for me to catch the snitch, even if he doesn’t want Slytherin to win! And add James Potter to the list too.
Reputation: Everyone says I look like a smaller, version of my brother, only not as handsome. I do not think I look anything like Sirius, beyond the strong Black family features everyone in our family has. If you like the gruff, rebellious attitude and look of my brother, than sure, I’m nothing in comparison. I prefer my hair to be slicker, and my overall appearance to be as well groomed as can be, except when I’m playing Quidditch.
I know people think I’m submissive because I follow orders I’m given. That, that is why my parents prefer me over my brother, but that is what a good son should do, obey and honor their parents and family. I know that, and I’m fine with it.
DISPOSITION
Personality - positive characteristics: I’m proud of my heritage. I tend to get my homework done quickly, so I don’t have to deal with it for long.
Personality - negative characteristics: I’m not nice to those of lesser caliber than I, though I don’t really see that as a negative, it isn’t something the majority of people appreciate. If I’m bored with something, I tend to avoid it as much as possible, the only exception is school work.
Intelligence: Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Potions are my best classes. I also do well in DADA and Charms. I know I stink at Transfiguration. I do average in Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures. I can not stand Herbology, I detest it in fact. History of Magic, it is so dull and boring, but I never complain about it aloud, I understand the importance of learning and knowing the history of our kind. I just wish Hogwarts would hire a new professor.
Behavior: I keep to myself mostly, I like the sound of my own thoughts. I may not be a obnoxious as my brother when it comes to socializing, but I do have several friends in my house and I get a long with them fairly well. I can be snide and rude though, especially if someone notices my scar and then proceeds to ask me how I got it.
Habits: I ask myself a lot of internal questions, but I rarely speak them out loud. I enjoy writing, I keep a journal, but I don’t really write about myself or my self thoughts.
Speech/Accent/Voice: English, wasn’t this question asked earlier? I vaguely remember something similar.
Strengths: I’m loyal to my family and all purebloods. I’m quiet and people who know me find that they can trust and confide in me because of my loyalty.
Weaknesses/Insecurities: I don’t want to disappoint my parents, or family. When we were younger I used to believe anything my brother told me, and now that we are older, although I know he will lie to me, there are times he catches me off guard and it makes me feel so foolish.
BACKSTORY
As a kid I hung and played with Sirius around the house. The first year he went to Hogwarts ended up being a strange break in our relationship with each other. It wasn’t easy staying at home by myself as I thought it would be, I ended up having our house elf Kreacher play chess with me when I was bored and lonely. It wasn’t that different from playing Sirius, except Kreacher couldn’t jinx the pieces.
I was hoping for some kind of recognition from him when I came to school, but that never really happened. He doesn’t even cheer for me when I play Quidditch.
As the years went on I lost my want for Sirius’s attentions and found myself in closer company with my Slytherin classmates.
At the age of 16, I join the Death Eaters.
MAGICAL ME
Wand: Fir 10 ¼ inches, Dragon heartstring
Memory caused by Dementors: I was seven, Father took me and Sirius with him to Knockturn Alley for some errands. We were in Flourish and Blotts and I was just looking around the place when I accidentally pulled a lever along a wall and fell through a trap floor door and landed in the sewers below. There were lots of rats down there, that’s all I’m going to say.
Memory used for Patronus: Ugh, what do you need a memory for, shouldn’t you just say the spell? Well, I guess one happy memory I have is when I made the Quidditch team for Slytherin my second year. Why do I need to remember that for a spell?
Form of Patronus: I haven’t learned how to make one take on a corporal form.
Boggart: Rats, I hate rats. Giant rats are even worse.
Riddikulus: I’d turn them into chocolate frogs, or one big one.
Amortentia: bluebell flowers and hot chocolate.
Mirror of Erised: During my childhood and first few years at school it would be Me and Sirius standing together in full honors, as Slytherins with our family, who look on at us proudly. After a few years, Sirius has faded out of the picture.

Marauders' Role Play Character Application NAME & AGE First: Sirius Middle: Orion Last: Black Origin of Name: Sirius=seirios (Greek) meaning "burning;" Sirius=the "Dog Star," the brightest one in the Canis Major ("Great Dog") constellation (Orion is the constellation of the hunter leading the canis major and canis minor, also my father’s name) Nickname: (If applicable and - if so - who calls you it?) Padfoot by James, Peter, and Remus. Age: 11 first year, 18 seventh year – the usual. Birth date: November 17th,1959 Zodiac: Scorpio  IDENTITY & APPEARANCE Gender: Male Height: I’m taller than James, Remus, and Peter.(1st year) Weight: I thought only girls are suppose to care about that. Body Type: Well how many types are there? I’ll answer that when someone can answer my question. Hair: Black. When I’m depressed I let it grow longer, when things are okay, I cut it slightly shorter, though I haven’t worn it above my ears in years. Eye Color: Grey Ethnicity: English Handicaps/Disabilities: I can’t go into the trophy room at Hogwarts alone. I don’t know how to tie neck ties without magical help. Oh, and I suck at Wizard’s Chess. Special Abilities: Does pranking count? I am an animagus, my form is that of a large, scruffy, black dog. Other Distinguishing Features: Not yet, but I plan on getting tattoos when I’m older. Mode of Dress: Hogwarts uniform, usually with my robe open and my tie just slung around my neck or tied very loosely. And that’s if I felt like wearing it to begin with. During warmer weather I nix the robe and roll my sleeves up. (Girls seem to like this for some reason.) It’s funny how those girls describe me too, “Sirius, he’s so good-looking in an elegant, casual way, don’t you think.” I mean what does that actually mean?  FAMILY (May include just names or opinions of relatives.) Mother: Walburga Black Father: Orion Black Adoptive/Step Parents:I wish James’s parents could really adopt me, instead of just acting like they have. Siblings: I have a younger brother, Regulus Arcturus Black. Regulus is my brother by blood, James is my brother by choice. Notable Extended Family: Phineas Nigellus Black, is an ancestor of mine, he was a Hogwarts Headmaster, personally I think he was also the worst Headmaster Hogwarts ever had. My Uncle Alphard is pretty cool, he at least understands my reasoning for not following my family’s “pureblood” ideas and doesn’t treat me like an outcast at family reunions and things. I have three cousins, Andromeda is my favorite. Narcissa and Bellatrix are my others, I can not stand Bellatrix, personally I think she needs to be locked away in St.Mungos, and while Narcissa is pleasant enough, but she’s too into the pureblood ideas of our family for me to bother trying to have a good relationship with her. Blood Status: Pureblood. PLACES Birthplace: My mother gave birth to both me and my brother at home. Residence/Dates of Occupancy: number twelve Grimmauld Place, London. (but not for long, I’m planning on leaving as soon as I’m able) Schools Attended: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Place of Comfort: Anywhere where I’m among friends. AFFILIATIONS House in School: Gryffindor (much to my delight and my family’s dismay. Which makes it all the more delightful) Occupation: Student Hobbies/Likes: Pranking, Card Games, Sneaking around the Castle with James, Remus, and Peter, collecting spare chocolate frog cards, oh did I mention pranking with the other marauders? Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Loosing at games. Snape, or anyone one who picks on my friends, the dark side of pureblood wizard families, and Filch (he spoils all the fun!). Oh, and I will never eat anything cooked by James Potter ever again! Ever! Clubs:the Marauders, and I believe Slughorn sent an invitation the same time he sent one to James but I think I used mine to make confetti in celebration of our first detention as a group. And when I graduate I’ll join the Order of the Phoenix. RELATIONSHIPS Sexual Orientation: I like girls. I just don’t like ALL girls. Ones that fawn and sigh and stare at you in groups then giggle and then think you can’t hear or see them- get on my nerves and the only thing I find I can do is ignore them. Though, even that seems to be something for them to sigh and giggle after. If I ever had the energy, I might sit and try to understand them, but there are much more interesting things I would rather do. Previous Partner(s): Are we talking girlfriends or sexual partners here? That’s a bit open of a question for students to be answering isn’t it? I’ve had a few random dates, but nothing intimate. Current Partner/Love Interest: Single. I love living the Bachelor life. Pets: I have an owl, Winglet, who technically belongs to both me and my younger brother. And Regulus named him, not me! I want that on the record. I call him “Wings”. Best Friend: James Potter is my best mate. Remus and Peter are up there too. Friends: See above. Acquaintances: Most Gryffindors. Some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. Rival/Enemy: Snape, Argus Filch, and anyone who insults my friends or tries to jinx them. Oh, just throw the lot of Slytherin students in there as well. Other Non-Family Relationships: I’m close to Ariel and Cayden, through James. Ariels’s actually a very interesting person to know. Reputation: (Others' general opinion of you and whether or not it's true.) James informs me people think I’m the “sexy” one. Hang on, I’m laughing too hard to type. Well I won’t deny I have some attractive features, but I believe that would depend on what you define as sexy. I am the rebel of the group and I have more open ended ideas about the concept of right and wrong. I am not a fan of rules and detentions don’t bother me so long as I did the deed that landed me there. I enjoy having fun, and I will never let a friend face a fight alone. I am well aware of my reputation for being a troublemaker, and I’m perfectly fine with that description. DISPOSITION Personality - positive characteristics: I have this strange sense of nobility when it comes to my friends. I’ll always be right there beside them in times of trouble, or celebration. I’d never turn my back on a friend, I’d rather die first. And my friends admire that about me, so it can’t be all that bad. Personality - negative characteristics: I don’t talk about myself much to people who don’t know me very well. Intelligence: (best and worst subjects in school, etc.) I’m best at DADA, Transfiguration, and Astronomy (mainly because I can point to the sky and go “hey look there’s my dad, there’s me, and over there’s my great-great-granddad”, it makes for some fun jokes between James and I during class). I enjoy Care of Magical Creatures and Charms and do okay in those classes too. Numerology is my worst class, and I am lucky if I stay awake during the entire History of Magic lesson. Behavior: Haven’t I already covered this? If not, do I really have to answer, can’t you figure it out on your own by reading my other responses for similar questions? Habits: I prank therefore I am. Speech/Accent/Voice: I’m English, though around here we just call that the normal way of speaking. Strengths: read my positive personality characteristics, that’s close enough for me. Weaknesses/Insecurities: I believe I mentioned my lack of talent when it comes to playing Wizard’s Chess. Why is it these questions repeat themselves? (If you haven’t figured it out already, I tend to dodge personal questions as much as possible. I’m actually shocked I’ve answered the majority of these so far.) BACKSTORY [Narrate your own piece here. Full sentences please.] Do I seriously have to? Can’t all this other stuff work for it? I have been good, and I’ve answered all these other ones, so I’m going to not do this one and move on to the rest now. See, no one got hurt. I’m being good. Just don’t make me do this one, please. MAGICAL ME Wand: Dragon heartstring core, Aspen wood, 13 inches. (Yes! I know, it’s true, I have the biggest wand out of all the Marauders.) Memory caused by Dementors: The night when my parents came home from a party a little too drunk and a decided to take out their frustrations on me and Regulus. They ended up charming the drapery cords, causing them to wrap around us and squeeze. If I hadn’t successfully reached the fireplace poker, I doubt Regulus or I would have survived. The ropes had already twisted around his neck twice, and were just beginning to with mine. I was seven, he was five. Not that that’s the only memory I have for them to draw out mind you. Memory used for Patronus: When I was sorted into Gryffindor Form of Patronus: I’m one of the rare people who change their patronus regularly due to my “up’s” and “down’s”, just like my hair being longer when depressed, my patronus turns into a great dane looking dog. While when I’m happier, my patronus is that of a bear cub. Boggart: I haven’t faced a boggart yet, but my fears are becoming headless(and my mother hanging my head with the family house elves on display in our house), Giant Slugs (blame a muggle movie poster for that one), and suffocation from laughter (hasn’t happened yet, but sometimes I wonder if we are just tempting fate.) Riddikulus: A headless slug would look interesting, don’t you think. Amortentia: Pumpkins, leather, and that fresh scent of dewy grass. Mirror of Erised: I figure I’d see me, happy, surrounded by all my friends and their families, everyone smiling, as we admire my brand new motorcycle. (I saw one once and have wanted one ever since).

Marauders' Role Play Character Application 
NAME & AGE
First: Lily
Middle: Jo
Last: Evans, Potter
Maiden: Evans
Origin of Name: Lily is the flower. There is no double ‘L’ and no, my full name is NOT Lillian. It’s just the flower.
Jo, well, Jo doesn’t really mean anything. My mum just liked the character from Little Women.
Evans is a Welsh name. I think it means fearless and bold. Perfect for a Gryffindor.
Nickname: Potter and his lot usually call me by my surname, Evans. My friends can usually get away with calling me Lils if they are so inclined. When people want to get on the wrong side of my temper, they can usually use Lilykins to get me riled up. *cough* Potter and Black *cough*. Lilyflower is specially reserved for Daddy. He is the only one that ever uses that nickname.
Age: 11 on September 1, 1971.
Birth date: January 30, 1960
Zodiac: Aquarius
IDENTITY & APPEARANCE
Gender: Female
Height: Relatively short. At least I’m taller than Pettigrew.
Weight: A lady never reveals her weight.
Body Type: I am rather petite, though.
Hair: A dark, rich, red colour. The ends usually have a bit of a curl to them. Especially in wet weather.
Eye Color: Bright emerald green
Ethnicity: Welsh/Irish
Handicaps/Disabilities: None. Honestly. Unless, like Petunia, you count being a witch. Or like certain Slytherins who say that being Muggleborn is bad.
Special Abilities: Is the ability not to be able to shake off a bloke considered special? If so, I wish I didn’t have that. What about the ability to play the piano? It’s pretty special to me.
Other Distinguishing Features: Apparently I’m rather pretty. I have two freckles on my two ring fingers that line up when I fold my hands and interlock my fingers. I find that rather fun.
Mode of Dress: On holidays, a nice long skirt and a jumper are my favorite clothing items. I never change out of Wizarding robes during school days though; it’s much too annoying to get dressed twice.
FAMILY 
Mother: Mummy, Rose Evans. Mum makes and enforces the rules in our house. You don't want to get on the bad side of Mummy. She is who I get my fiery temper from. Out of her two daughters, Mum actually favors Petunia, and Tuney could be said to be Mummy's girl, but Mum doesn't actually show extra affection very well and so it appears that she loves us both equally.
Father: Daddy, Harold Evans, he works as a lawyer in Manchester. As you can probably tell from the nicknames, I am Daddy's little girl. He definitely dotes on me. I get lots of presents from Daddy. Little figurines, mostly. I take lots of them to Hogwarts with me after the first term. (I love the Cushioning Charm.)
Adoptive/Step Parents: None, really.
Siblings: My older sister Petunia. My nickname for her is Tuney. We are currently going through a patch of hard feelings, and I don’t know if she’ll ever get over herself enough to let it go. I end up viewing Severus and Justin as the older brothers I never had. And Cayden can be viewed as my sister.
Notable Extended Family: None in the Magical world that you would care about. Daddy's parents are still alive, though they are getting old. They live in Ireland. I don't have any aunts or uncles, though.
Blood Status: Muggleborn.
 PLACES
Birthplace: Manchester, England
Residence1/Dates of Occupancy: Number Seven Freesia Lane, Tyldesley, Manchester, England.
Schools Attended: Garrett Hall Primary School, then Hogwarts
Place of Comfort: Down by the riverbank near my home, in the wood. The Hogwarts Library is another one.
AFFILIATIONS
House in School: Gryffindor.
Occupation: Student, eventual Order member.
Hobbies/Likes: I love to read. I also like writing in a journal. I collect the figurines that Daddy gives me. I play the piano.
Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Er, two words: James Potter. Two more words: Sirius Black. Basically, I dislike bullies and show-offs. I dislike the prejudice against Muggleborns. (I would like to see some of those Purebloods try to control their parentage.) I dislike hypocrisy, and point it out when I see it.
Clubs: I do belong to the Slug Club. Somehow I am a prized favorite of Sluggy’s. He says it’s for my natural talent at Potions.
Special Recognition: I became Prefect in my sixth year, and Head Girl my seventh year.
RELATIONSHIPS 
Sexual Orientation: I, as a girl, do fancy boys. Just not certain ones that fancy me.
Ha! That was cheek! I swear, you thought I was actually serious, didn't you? Ha, ha, ha.
Previous Partner(s): You mean my first crush? There is absolutely no way that I’m broadcasting that. Although I do remember a rather interesting story with Justin—mmph. Hm, hem. Sorry about that. I forgot about the formal taboo he put on that subject.
Current Partner/Love Interest: In Seventh year and the rest of my life, this will be James. In between, who knows? Maybe it’s James, or maybe someone else might catch my eye.
Pets: Petunia is currently faking allergies to all the animals I want. I have to use a school owl or one of my friends’ owls if I want to owl home. I dearly want a cat though.
Best Friend: This is a rather hard question for me to answer, as I know so many of my closest friends view me as their best friend. I’d probably have to say, technically, Severus Snape is my best friend.
Friends: Sev, Cay, Justin, Remus, Sapphire, Ariel, Mary, Hannah (Justin’s sister), Emmeline, er, Tuney should be in this list but she’s not talking to me right now, Marlene, a lot of my house, and many more.
Acquaintances: All of Hogwarts. I get to be pretty popular, you know.
Rival/Enemy: Potter and Black. Pettigrew through association with the Devilish Duo. Narcissa Black. Mulciber and Avery for aiming to be Death Eaters and for their bullying of Muggleborns.
Reputation: I have a reputation for having a fiery temper. It’s true. Prod the bull too often and he will round on you and run you down. I also am known as the girl that hates Potter and will turn him down every time. No one knows that it is mainly my loyalty to Severus and Sev’s feelings that keeps me from giving Potter a chance. Of course, if he could also earn that chance, I’d be more willing to bend my rules around him.
DISPOSITION 
Personality - positive characteristics: I’m smart, kind, considerate, compassionate, a leader, curious, popular, cheeky (it’s positive as far as Slughorn is concerned), extremely loyal, and noble.
Personality - negative characteristics: I have a fairly short and fiery temper. When I'm under great amounts of pressure, I get tense and can explode at the people around me. I am rude at times. I go with the flow sometimes rather than speak my mind. I can hold a grudge a long time, although not as long as Tuney. I can detect when my intuition says that it's obvious I'm being lied to, and, depending on the secret that is being hidden by the lie and how far my curiosity makes me investigate, this usually ends up being a negative thing for the concealer.
Intelligence: I am excellent at Potions. Charms is another good subject for me. I am bored out of my mind with History of Magic, and I don’t get very good grades in there. I have to work really hard to get good grades in Transfiguration and it is irritating that so many in our year are good at it.
Behavior: Can’t you gather this from the other questions I’ve answered? I don’t behave oddly, I don’t think.
Habits: I have a nervous habit of twirling my hair around a finger. I don’t realize when I am doing it, but my friends know that I’m either worrying or thinking quite hard when I do it.
Speech/Accent/Voice: Strong English. Barely a hint of Irish if I visit my grandparents over the holidays.
Strengths: I’m good with a wand, but otherwise...—Didn’t I just answer this? In the positive characteristics? Please don’t make me repeat myself. This questionnaire is much too long already.
Weaknesses/Insecurities: I can't lie directly about something important without giving myself away. There has to be some element of truth or my personal belief that the statement is true or else I blush. I have some insecurities that I hide quite well that revolve around acceptance.
 BACKSTORY
I always knew that I was different. My older sister, Petunia, couldn’t do all the things I could do, and I was supposed to be the one learning from her example. I could do all kinds of things. From literally flying off of the swings at the park and floating down unharmed, to opening and closing the petals of flowers at will; from changing the colour of my teacher’s wig, to making an entire meal disappear when I didn’t want to eat it; from shrinking a jumper that I didn't want to wear, to breaking every single pen in my class during a test. I did many odd, unexplainable things.
I was ten years old before I met a boy by the name of Severus Snape who explained that all the odd things I could do was magic. We had a rather rough first meeting, as he jumped out from behind some bushes when I thought Tuney and I were alone. But he told me all about Hogwarts, and the world of witches and wizards. Tuney has always been a bit nosy, and she was convinced that Sev was lying to me. Well, honestly, how often really does some boy from the rundown part of town jump out from behind a bush and say that your sister has been doing magic and that you are something called a Muggle? So, she set out to prove the ‘lies.’ She wrote to the Headmaster of Hogwarts, convinced that she wouldn’t get a reply from this ‘imaginary’ world. She even followed the two of us into the woods near the river one time when we were talking. I got mad at Sev when he took it too far and lost control of his temper. Sev was going to have to learn control and how to be disciplined, and I resolved to help him learn.
In any case, the summer after Sev and I turned eleven, Sev got his owl stating his acceptance, and Professor Minerva McGonagall and Rubeus Hagrid showed up on my doorstep to explain to my parents my acceptance into the magical school of Hogwarts. Yes, both of them. Is that odd to you? Well, Hagrid wanted to be able to address all of the issues involved in case Professor Dumbledore ever required that he be sent instead of McGonagall to the Muggleborns and the rare Half-bloods that were raised in the Muggle world. McGonagall led the conversation and showed my parents that there were relatively normal-looking witches and wizards. Thank goodness. I’m not sure that Daddy would have let me go to Hogwarts if it had just been Hagrid.
In late August, Sev was over at my house again, when Tuney had gone shopping with Mummy for the new school year, and her door was open. Sev saw a letter on her desk that bore the Hogwarts crest, and he couldn’t believe that she had actually managed to get in touch with Hogwarts. He snuck the letter into my room and read it to me. I was hardly able to keep from bursting with this information until I finally let it out on Platform Nine and Three Quarters in one of our increasing arguments. Tuney said some things that really hurt me after that, and I said goodbye to my parents to cover up the tears that had started to my eyes. I stumbled onto the train and into an empty compartment and let myself cry for a few minutes as I stared blankly out the window. And so my first year at Hogwarts began.
MAGICAL ME
Wand: Willow, phoenix feather, ten and a quarter inches, and swishy.
Memory caused by Dementors: Hang on. Sev promised that I wouldn’t get put in Azkaban for a little under-age magic. I experience dementors? Deep breath. It’s just a hypothetical question. I don’t have very many bad memories so far, though. I do have this bad feeling that it will change and I will have hard times ahead as I live my life.
Memory used for Patronus: A Christmas long ago, with my mum and my dad, and Tuney. We had all gathered around and Tuney and I were opening our presents from Father Christmas. Tuney and I shared a secret smile before tearing off the last of the wrappings, while Mummy and Daddy beamed at the two of us.
Form of Patronus: A deer. Docile, yet strong-willed. And a deer can run so fast that she nearly flies over the land.
Boggart: Dementors after I experience them. I hate that twisting of fear in my stomach. I fear being abandoned by my friends. That boggart takes the form of Cay, saying she’ll never be my friend again.
Riddikulus: I dress boggart-Cay up in a jester’s uniform, complete with the belled hat. Something that she would never be caught dead in. The other boggart I make transform into the remedy of a chocolate bar.
Amortentia: New parchment, treacle tart, and an outdoorsy smell I can’t quite place. It sort of smells like the wood near my home after it rains, while the sun is out, drying up the moisture. But I’m nearly positive that I’ve smelled it in Hogwarts too.
Mirror of Erised: My most pressing desire will be to see the growing evil gone. Currently, though, I just want my family to be whole with no one-sided rivalry going on between Tuney and myself.

Marauders' Role Play Character Application
NAME & AGE
First: Peter
Middle: Percival
Last: Pettigrew
Origin of Name: Peter means ‘rock.’ Percival is from the Arthurian legend. And Pettigrew means something small that grew.
Nickname: The Marauders call me Wormtail, Wormy, and Pete. Sometimes Peeves calls me Petey. But Petey is usually reserved for Mum. Except for Sam. If she says my name, it is Petey.
Age: 11 on September 1, 1971.
Birth date: November 23, 1959
Zodiac: Sagittarius.
 IDENTITY & APPEARANCE
Gender: Male
Height: I’m short. Do I really have to admit how short? I never really do get that much of a growth spurt. Maybe two or three inches. Fine. 5”3’ is my full-grown height.
Weight: I really need to cut back on the sweets, I know, but Mum keeps sending them to me. I’m on the chubby side.
Body Type: Body type? What does that mean? Type of body. Hang on, is that misspelled? But what would the proper spelling and meaning be? Bode? Broody? Booty? Boot? Oh, Boot type. I usually wear trainers though. I’m really not sure how to answer that.
Hair: It’s a mousy honey brown color.
Eye Color: I have blue eyes.
Ethnicity: On my mum’s side, my Grandfather was Scottish, and my Grandmother was Welsh. Percival I think was English. So Scottish/Welsh/English.
Handicaps/Disabilities: Is a constant cold a disability? Or maybe I’m just allergic to all the plants in England. I wonder what kinds of plants grow in England that I’m allergic to.
Special Abilities: I am a Rat Animagus.
Other Distinguishing Features: My eyes are rather small, and I have a pointy nose. My face looks rather rat-like.
Mode of Dress: You mean, there’s something other than Wizarding robes out there?
 FAMILY
Mother: Witch by the name of Ivy Pettigrew.
Father: I never really knew my father. Mum tells me his name was Percival. He was a Muggle.
Adoptive/Step Parents: I think all of the Marauders were taken under the wing of Mr. and Mrs. Potter at some point. I know that I view them as second parents.
Siblings: I am an only child.
Notable Extended Family: My Grandmother raises Kneazles, is that notable? No? Oh well.
Blood Status: I’m a half-blood, but I was raised totally in the Wizarding World.
PLACES
 Birthplace and Residence1: Canterbury, England. Birth to four months old.
Residence2/Dates of Occupancy: Cheshire. Where my Grandmother lives. Five months to four years old.
Residence3/Dates of Occupancy: Manchester. Four to five years old.
Residence4/Dates of Occupancy: Wiltshire. Five to seven years old.
Residence5/Dates of Occupancy: London. Seven to eight years old.

Residence7/Dates of Occupancy: Abergavenny, Wales. Eight to ten years old.
Residence8/Dates of Occupancy: Paisley, Scotland. Ten to Fourteen years old.
Schools Attended: Grandmother home schooled me before I got my letter for Hogwarts.
Place of Comfort: Hogwarts Kitchen is where I go when I’m feeling down. I actually discovered the kitchens. The house elves make the best comfort food I have ever tasted.
 AFFILIATIONS
House in School: Gryffindor.
Occupation: Student, eventual Order member, and I find work at the Ministry in the Transportation department.
Hobbies/Likes: I like to eat. I follow Quidditch and support the Caerphilly Catapults.
Pet Peeves/Dislikes: A pet peeve of mine is when someone interrupts food-time. Or sleep-time. Sleep-time is very important. But food-time is even more important.
Clubs: Marauders! I’m also in the Gobstones club.
Special Recognition: I don’t get special recognition. James and Sirius are the ones that do for some things, or Sam, Cayden, and Lily for the more academic things.
RELATIONSHIPS
Sexual Orientation: Huh?
Previous Partner(s): These questions are rather ... odd.
Current Partner/Love Interest: Mental! Really? You honestly want to know about my love life? Every time I even start to mention girls around the Marauders, James goes off on Lily, Remus groans, and Sirius laughs.
 Pets: Rats are friends, not pets. I have an owl that Mum uses to send me lots of sweets. That’s actually the owl’s name, you know. Sweets.
Best Friends: James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin.
Friends: My friends are the best!
Acquaintances: My house, various other people in other houses.
Rival/Enemy: Snivellus. Slytherins.
Other Non-Family Relationships: Evans? Er, I’m rather neutral towards her. She doesn’t like me and so we don’t have to closely associate much. I’m actually a bit afraid of her, but I don’t think anyone can tell.
Reputation: I have a rather unsavory reputation, and I honestly can’t figure out why. I don’t think I’ve been caught cheating that many times.
 DISPOSITION
Personality - positive characteristics: I am a good listener. I know how to make someone feel appreciated when they talk to me. I appreciate everything everyone does for me. I will always say “thanks.”
Personality - negative characteristics: I get jealous easily. I am quite proud, and cannot stand being pitied. I am a pessimist. I understand sarcasm only when I am the one being sarcastic. And then no one thinks I’m being sarcastic. I am quite lazy. I will cheat off of someone else’s paper if I haven’t prepared enough for an exam. I am also overly dramatic. And what I mean by that is when something little goes wrong, everything else will go wrong until a miracle intervenes or the world ends. There sure are a lot of miracles so far.
 Intelligence: I excel in, er, Arithmancy. And, erm, Divination. And I would be great at Herbology if I could see through watery eyes and concentrate on something besides my sniffles. I am abysmal at dueling, Potions, and Defense class. I’m pretty good at Transfiguration and Charms, but I don’t get that recognition because of all the prodigies in my year. Care of Magical Creatures would be my best subject, but why do we have to care for all the animals that I’m afraid of?
Behavior: I am quite fidgety most of the time. Especially in class. How do they expect everyone to remain still for that long? I need to wiggle.
Habits: My nose does a strange twitch sometimes. It makes me look like a rabbit or a rodent.
Speech/Accent/Voice: I tend to squeak a lot when I get scared or nervous. My voice is naturally a bit higher pitched than other boys.
Strengths: Erm, I’m a veritable connoisseur of cheeses. And candies. I love Honeydukes in Hogsmeade. And I periodically petition for a cheese tasting at the Three Broomsticks and the Hogs Head. Madam Rosmerta and the barman seem to just get a laugh out of that, though.
Weaknesses/Insecurities: Do I actually fit in with the Marauders? How am I special? How in the world do I even try to compete with the multi-talented Sirius and James? Do I even want to? Am I being pitied? WHAT am I missing?
 BACKSTORY
My Grandmother is a squib, Granddad was a wizard, but he died when I was five so I don't really remember him. Mum is a witch and she attended Hogwarts as a Hufflepuff. My mum, visiting Canterbury, fell in love with a Muggle named Percival Pettigrew. Mum had a rough marriage with Percival. Perce was a factory worker, and he was fine to Mum unless he came home drunk. Then Mum would get beaten. Mum never told him that she was a witch until she knew that their child, me, had a chance that I would inherit my mother’s gift. She stuck up for me, when she would never stick up for herself. She wouldn’t see me abused as she had been. They had a huge fight and he left. She never saw him again but always lived in fear that he would come back. She worked odd jobs to pay for my support.
 As a young child, I normally was dropped off and watched by Grandmother while Mum continued to work odd hours to provide for the two of us. That arrangement worked, until I had an incident with one of Grandmother’s Kneazles that scarred the animal and myself for life. I wouldn’t, couldn’t go back there after that. So, when it came time to give me some schooling, Grandmother had to get a girl, Arabella, to watch the Kneazles while she drove over and gave me my lessons. I was alone a lot as a child, working on lessons, waiting for Mum to get home. Mum and I also had to move a lot.
Mum kept switching jobs so that Perce would never be able to find us. Also, we had to live in rundown apartments most of the time so my only friends were the rats that shared our food. Good food it was, too. Mum brought home food from restaurants that she worked at. My isolation drove me crazy, and I grew bold after a while and snuck out to the park. It was nearly always twilight or dawn when I was able to sneak out, though, and so I didn’t find any friends there. I liked playing on the swings. I could play on them by myself, and could forget my worries and my fears as I soared through the air.
 One night, though, I fell asleep before I was able to make it back to my room, and Mum came home from her job to find me asleep on the floor right in front of the door. She freaked out and we moved again that night. She convinced herself that I was covering up for Perce; she wouldn’t accept the true story that I got a little scratched up by a bush that I ran into on the way home. Every so often, she’ll try and test my memory of that night. I’ve now got a very good mental picture of Perce through her guesses and descriptions.
Mum was really pleased when I made it into Hogwarts. She promised to actually stay at her jobs longer, especially if I made some new friends.
MAGICAL ME
Wand: Hawthorn, eight and three quarters inches long, unicorn hair, rigid.
Memory caused by Dementors: I can still hear my mum call out in her sleep. She had nightmares every night for ages.
Memory used for Patronus: My first successful prank with the Marauders. I succeeded in turning all the Slytherins’ black robes to orange. I was actually going for pink, but it worked anyway.
Form of Patronus: A, er, a big sewer rat. Yeah, that sounds more menacing than just a rat. My Patronus mirrors my Animagus form, though.
 Boggart:  Eep! Er, CATS. A case of never-ending hiccups. Honeydukes going out of business. Trolls. Hags. Banshees. Pretty much any dangerous creature. Being alone with the goblins of Gringotts. Boggarts. Giants. Billywigs. Certain owls give me the creeps. Chizpurfles. Hippogriffs. Redcaps. Muggle lifts. Rocks, pretending to be rocks but aren’t really rocks, but Pogrebin. Vacuum cleaners. Flesh-eating Slugs. Poisonous orange snails. Oh! Eep! How in the world could I forget? MOUSETRAPS! It’s not fair! They lure me in with the cheese! Poison. Rat poison to be more specific. Anything else probably has an antidote, but I’m not sure a Muggle potion would. Also, squirrels. Eagles. Crows. Time. Monkeys. A platypus is just weird. What’s the plural of that anyway? Platypi? Platypuses? Er. Foxes. Hawks. Any animal that eats rats.
I’m scared of a lot of things, all right? There’s really no need to complain just because this is only half of my list. I haven’t even mentioned yet all the people that frighten me.
All right. I’ll shut it. I am a Gryffindor after all. I shall conquer these fears. Someday.
Riddikulus: I haven’t actually mastered that one yet. I think however turning any one of these into just cheese would work. Yum.
Amortentia: Sharp cheddar cheese (that one always smells the best), one of those chocolate truffles from Honeydukes, and homemade apple pie. Yum. I wish I could make that potion for real.
Mirror of Erised: I see myself, glory and honor streaming down to me from the heavens, while my friends surround me wearing expressions of awe and wonder at my daring and nerve.
What? I told you I was slightly dramatic. Well, fine then! I’ll stop and I won’t answer any more of these questions.
What did you say? There are no more questions? But I don’t want to stop now.
Well you are just going to have to find me another question.
Favorite cheese: Slimy Slytherins! I want to answer this one! It’s—mmph! No, it’s just—mmph! Huff. There. Got away from Sirius for a moment. It’s currently the holey one with the name of the European country. Shh! Yes, I know that cheese is called Swiss—mmph! James! Help!

Even though Empress_Cat is on indefinite leave, her description of Hagrid is wonderful, so we're keeping it up. whee If/When Empress_Cat returns, Hagrid will be her claimed characer again. Until then, he's open to everyone, like an unclaimed character.
Empress_Cat NAME & AGE
First: Rubeus
Middle: Well, it's er....Gareth....but don' tell no one, ya hear?
Last: Hagrid
Maiden: Er....wha'?
Origin of Name: How should I know? ((I researched, here is what I found out:
Rubeus = a homonym for the English word 'rubious' from Latin 'ruber,' for "red." Related to the word 'ruddy;' a 'ruddy' (reddish) complexion is often the sign of someone who drinks a lot.
Gareth is a name I picked out for Hagrid, it supposedly is related to or means in some way or another: Gentle. Hagrid is often referred to as a gentle giant.
Hagrid's last name is related to several old English, French and German words:
hag = hægtesse, Old English for "hedge-rider," or "she who straddles the hedge," because the hedge was the boundary between the "civilized" world of the village and the wild world beyond. The hægtesse would have a foot in each reality. Even later, when it meant the local healer and root collector, living in the open and moving from village to village, it may have had the mildly pejorative sense of hedge- in M.E. (hedge-priest, etc.), suggesting an itinerant sleeping under bushes, perhaps.
hag-ridden = from hag + ride. Ridden by a hag or witch; hence, afflicted with nightmare. An old term for sleep paralysis, the sensation of being held immobile in bed, often by a heavy weight, and accompanied by a sense of alien presence. A holed stone hung over the bed was said to prevent it.
haggard = Gives the appearance of exhaustion; Medieval French for "wild, unruly."
hager = Low German for "gaunt, haggard." Sense of "with a haunted expression" or "careworn."
Okay, back to talking like my favorite Care of Magical Creatures teacher! ^_^))
Nickname: Hagrid, friends call me Hagrid
Age: Tha's a good question...((43, I think))
Birth date: December 6, 1928

People don't take time to think how they migh' be feelin', it's a ruddy shame, I tell ye. Er-what else...I like ter be at the school, and help Dumbledore in anything he is doin'-there's not another man like 'im. And, le's see, a good drink never hur' no one neither.
Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Uhh, I don' like headaches-I get 'em a lot after a fun night with my tankard of beer, it puts a damper on things, ya know? Le's see...I don' like ter se my friends in trouble-I'll do what I have ta, bu' don' mess with them, I tell yeh, or yeh'll get it from me.

Other Non-Family Relationships: hmmm.....
Reputation: Dangerous, irresponsible and, the wha' not.
DISPOSITION
Personality - positive characteristics: ((It's easier to tell this from MY perspective, so it's me talking again. ^_^ Hagrid is very noble and loyal to his friends, he is a good man in more ways than one. Even though he seems to love the more violent and dangerous species of creatures, he is really very friendly and good toward people. He's eager to help his friends, and stand up for what he believes to be true even if it makes him to look like a fool, he doesn't seem to care what everyone thinks most of the time.))
Personality - negative characteristics: ((Again, it's me. Hagrid really is a good man, but his habits with creatures can make him seem a little bit crazy and well-dangerous. Also, he doesn't always follow the rules-but whoever said rules made everyone good.))
Intelligence: I didn' finish school.
Behavior: I usually don' 'ave to worry abou' it....lot's of folks go runnin' at the sight of me. *chuckle* I promise I don' bite! I may be part giant, but I'm not violent. I jus' take care of my dear creatures, an' have a drink or two.
Habits: I've been tol' I drink a little too much-nonesense! Someone my size can never drink ter much. An' people seem to think that my pets are all the dangerous ones, I dou' tha'. I seem ter pick up new creatures as often as I can, an' get as many new friends as I do enemies...
Speech/Accent/Voice: Do I 'ave one?
Strengths: My friends...
Weaknesses/Insecurities: I can never let a poor uncared for creature out of my sight, I won' do it! I can' help it, I can' just leave 'em there, the poor little tikes! I don' like to let it abou' tha' I'm 'alf giant either-so keep wha' yer know quiet, okay?
BACKSTORY
My mother lef' home when I was three, and my father died in my secon' year at school. Well, back in the day, when I was jus' a small lad, well-never mind the small...I was in Hogwarts as a Gryffindor. But in my thir' year o' school, I was expelled because Aragog was exposed, and it was against school rules to have 'em. I always seemed to be gettin' inta trouble, I was known as a troublemaker at school. However, Professor Dumbledore stood up fer me, and I was given the position of Game keeper from ol' Ogg. I was also the keeper o' the keys-great man Dumbledore! Not another man like 'em, he had no reason to stan' up for me, but ever since my dad died, he watched over me.
Anyway, now I take the new students to the school now in the boats, they always seem taken aback by me size...I can' imagine why-I'm just big boned, really! Really though, I've stayed there ever since-and I don' plan ter be leavin' any time soon. I help Dumbledore where I can, and do wha's best for the school an' the students. Occasionally I make my way to the pub and have a drink or three, but not when I'm on duty-no sir! *hiccup*
MAGICAL ME
Wand: Oak, sixteen inches, but it was broke. Don' worry, I 'ave my umbrella....
Memory caused by Dementors: My father's...death
Memory used for Patronus: Dumbledore takin' me in, and helpin' me. Good man, Dumbledore!
Form of Patronus: Eh, I never made it that far in school, I never learned that one.
Boggart: Aragog laying all dead an' shriveled, don' know wha' I'd do without 'im! *sniff*
Riddikulus: I don' think I could do it-he's always so full o' life, don' wan' to see 'em like that.
Amortentia: I never had it, bu' if I did I think it'd be the smell of animals mixed with the smell o' my favorite pub. Yep.
Mirror of Erised: Jus' to see me with me dad one more time, to talk with 'im...
((Sorry this has taken me so long everyone, but I'm hoping you'll forgive me! ^_^))

Marauders' Role Play Character Application
NAME & AGE
First: Bellatrix
Last: Lestrange
Maiden: (if applicable) Black
Origin of Name: "Bellatrix" means "female warrior" in Latin. It is also the name of the star that marks the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. "Black" is of English origin, meaning either "black" (obviously....) or "pale", and could refer to a person with a dark or pale complexion (which seems as if that would be confusing, to me, anyways....) or a person who works with black dye. "Lestrange" is derived from an Old French word that means "foreign".
Nickname: My family and friends call me "Bella", but, if you call me anything else, I will destroy you.
Age: 17, 18, 19, does it really matter to you?
Birth date: 3rd of October, 1955
Zodiac: Libra
IDENTITY & APPEARANCE
Gender: Female (Isn't it obvious?).
Height: Taller than you.
Weight: And why would you want to know?
Body Type: Thin, I suppose.
Hair: Black, like my name.
Eye Color: Also black.
Ethnicity: English/French
Handicaps/Disabilities: You dare imply that I of all people have some sort of disability?!
Special Abilities: I'm of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. What other "special abilities" do I need?
Other Distinguishing Features: I have rather large eyes, and, I'm told that I'm rather pretty. Of course, wouldn't you think I was pretty? That is, if you somehow managed to get on my bad side? Hmmm?
Mode of Dress: I like black and green. All of my clothing revolves around those colors.
FAMILY (May include just names or opinions of relatives.)
Mother: Druella.
Father: Cygnus Black.
Adoptive/Step Parents: As if I'd need any....
Siblings: Narcissa and Andromeda Black.
Notable Extended Family: As I said, the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Must I really say anymore of that? We are, of course, the most noteworthy and high-ranking wizarding family in all of England.
Blood Status: I'm surprised you even dared to ask. Pureblood, of course. Anyone else is just scum.
PLACES
Birthplace: Like most of the members of my family, I was born at home, like a proper Pureblood.
Residence1/Dates of Occupancy: London, England.
Residence2/Dates of Occupancy:
Residence3/Dates of Occupancy:
Schools Attended: Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Place of Comfort: *hmph* Who needs comfort?! Hmmm, I suppose if I must answer this question, I'd prefer somewhere quiet, yet chaotic. Perhaps somewhere near where this Dark Lord that they speak of resides. He seems to have more sense than the rest of these pitiful excuses for wizards all put together.
AFFILIATIONS
House in School: Slytherin, of course! How could I possibly be in any other House?!
Occupation: I'm currently a student in my seventh year and an aspiring follower of the Dark Lord.
Hobbies/Likes: I enjoy winning (at anything), dueling, hanging out with Cissy (when she isn't being a spoiled brat), and, whenever I get a chance, I take great pleasure in tormenting underclassmen.
Pet Peeves/Dislikes: Well, I can't stand Mudbloods, Blood-Traitors, Half-Bloods, and anyone who disagrees with me. *heh* When you mentioned the word "peeves", I can't help but say that I despise that little wretch Peeves as well. Oh, and those Marauders. They're so annoying. I'm not too fond of house-elves either. They're slightly creepy, though they do make wonderful servants and underlings.
Clubs: Hmmm, if there was a "Mudbloods Should Die" Club, I'd join it....
Special Recognition: Oh, you'll recognize me soon enough! You will recognize me!
RELATIONSHIPS
Sexual Orientation: Why do you need to know? I wouldn't date you if you were the last person on Earth. But, if you really need to know, I'm as straight as an arrow.
Previous Partner(s): Would you prefer the Cruciatus Curse or the Killing Curse? I don't have time for this rubbish.
Current Partner/Love Interest: Well, I'm dating Rodolphus Lestrange, and I'll probably end up marrying him, just like a good little witch should. He's the only Pureblood worthy of me in this dump. And, besides, it's expected of me. Although I find this.... Voldemort character to be rather.... fascinating....
Pets: *hmph* I can't be bothered with them. I only have an owl for messages and such. He's a great-horned owl. His name is Bloodwing, I believe, not that I've bothered to call him much more than "hey, bird".
Best Friend: That's a hard one, but I'd have to say Cissy, although Rodolphus and Rabastan are friendly enough.
Friends: Anyone who's a Pureblood and shares my ideals.
Acquaintances: Hmmm.... Lucius Malfoy. I wouldn't consider him exactly a friend. He's a bit of a prat. But he's my sister's boyfriend, so I can't exactly call him an enemy either.
Rival/Enemy: *ugh* Those Marauders! Especially my dispicable Blood-Traitor of a cousin, Sirius! One of these days.....
Other Non-Family Relationships: What's the use of non-family relationships? Unless it's one with that intriguing Voldemort character....
Reputation: People generally tend to think I'm the witch who starts with a capital "B", though they wouldn't dare say that to my face! And some seem to believe I'm slightly insane, but they've been taken care of, if-you-know-what-I-mean....
DISPOSITION
Personality - positive characteristics: I'm a Pureblood, I'm smart, I'm witty, I excell at dueling, I'm pretty, I'm powerful, and..... oh, the list goes on and on.....
Personality - negative characteristics: Who dares imply that I have negative characteristics?! *glares*
Intelligence: I'm quite intelligent! I'm good at Arithmancy, Potions, Divination, Herbology, Transfiguration, and DADA (ironically....). I'm abysmal at History of Magic, though. If Professor Binns wasn't already dead, I'd kill him....
Behavior: I act like any self-respecting Pureblood witch ought to!
Habits: Well, I tend to accidentally hex underclassmen.....
Speech/Accent/Voice: British, I suppose. Some people think my voice is rather deep and raspy, but I get a higher voice when I'm angry.... which happens a lot....
Strengths: I'm incredibly loyal to the loyal members of my family. I don't back down. I don't show fear. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a dueling expert?
Weaknesses/Insecurities: Weaknesses?! Me?!?! Ha! You must be joking!
BACKSTORY
Must I really compile my life story here? After all, people will remember me without a written record. I can assure you of that. I did not have a rough childhood. I was not abused. I led a fairly normal life, as far as Pureblood families go. I was never a tragic hero, or heroine, whatever. In fact, I despise tragic heroes..... with a burning passion....
MAGICAL ME
Wand: 12 3/4 inches, walnut wood, Dragon heartstring core - unyielding - good for (don't you know by now?!) dueling.
Memory caused by Dementors: And why exactly should I be afraid of dementors? Well, there was the time that I had that terrible nightmare. I dreamed my parents were Mudbloods, so, I was one, too. It was terrible.
Memory used for Patronus: Being sorted into Slytherin, of course!
Form of Patronus: If I really had to have one, I suppose it would be a snake. A noble creature, indeed. Sneaky and slippery and sly and as powerful as they come!
Boggart: For some reason, I'm particularly afraid of older, red-haired women.... I've no idea why.....
Riddikulus: The old, red-haired woman turns into a little fox with red yarn for hair and scampers away.
Amortentia: Wolfsbane, morning mist, and the sweet smell of triumph! (And, possibly, blood....).
Mirror of Erised: The Dark Lord has purged the world of the unworthy Mudbloods and Blood-Traitors, and I stand, victorious, at his side as we rule the entire earth together with an iron fist!
