Full Name: Charlyn Johnna Avalon
Nicknames: Charlie



Blood: Pure
Date of Birth: 18 April 2005

Family:
Mother - Mila Avalon, pure blood, former Ravenclaw
Father - Zane Avalon, half-blood, former Hufflepuff
Brother - Nylon "Ny"/"Nyle" Avalon, 29, former Hufflepuff
Brother - Jax Avalon, 28, former Slytherin
Brother - Jonah Avalon, killed with 12 (would now be 23), former Gryffindor

Personality: Charlyn is a very adventurous girl, always seeking exciting experiences. Although she often faces fears in those situations, she tries to cover them up and act all tough. She is a very talkactive girl and says what's on her mind most of the time.

Her natural instict is to observe a situation, evaluate it, and then react the best way possible. She gives great credit to those who achieve great things with their minds, especially when it is about creating something new. Although acting childish often, she is able to think and react mature for her age, too.

Charlyn likes to spend her more silent days with her nose down some book and discover a new world and fall right into it. She has gone to school and learnt new things happily and was always having good grades. Though if she has no interest in a subject, she will not at all care to learn for it more than making it a "D" at least.

She is a very positive girl and likes to see the glass rather as half full than half empty and will still consider it half full if she drinks it up completely. Maybe that's her being foolish, maybe that's her being an optimist.

True friendship is the most important thing to her and she's a very social, outgoing person. She would do anything for her friends and would never leave them behind. She is also someone to enjoy ditching class sometimes, getting into trouble and feeling the taste of the forbidden.

History: Charlyn was born and raised in the wizarding world, somewhere near London. When she was born she was brought into a family that had just had been hit by a tragedy. Her older brother Jax, 17 back then, had accidentally killed the 12-year-old brother Jonah. In shock and fear by what he did and what the consequencces would be, he fled. The parents, including a heavily pregnant Mila, and their eldest son Nylon were searching for the 17-year-old Jax for a long time. Neither them nor anyone else could find him.

When Charlyn was brought into the world her parents decided to give her the middle name "Johnna", after their lost son Jonah. They have never talked much about it, but it always hung and still hangs above the family like a sword ready to fall down at them. Jax was never seen again.

And so Charlyn grew up with only one brother out of three. But he was a loving, careing brother; and so were her parents. She had always had everything she needed and her parents has been overly protective over her. They were a middle-class wizarding family, her brother Nylon working with dangerous animals and bringing in money for the family and her father working in the mistery holding them up at their middle-class status. Mother Mila was working in St Mungos, but has reduced her time there by a lot to be closer to Charlie.

Chalyn knew only what has been told about her two brothers, Jax and Jonah. It was hard for her to realize that she would never be as perfect as little dead Jonah. You can't compete with a dead child. But she still felt loved and needed in her family.

Pet: None currently

Are we allowed 2 characters because I want to make twin girls @KahleenCuthald

[Asuu]

Name: Jason 'Jay' Obelisk

Birthdate: 2/19/2005

Personality: Jason is a strong-willed, clever, and shockingly intelligent young boy, although relatively closed off and cold, as far as showing soft and kinder emotions go - mostly from his tough childhood. He has a very inquisitive and adventurous nature, and rather rebellious, as well, wanting to have his own free will, and willing to do whatever he can to keep it. Jason's very protective, despite seeming quite uncaring or broodish at times, and will defend his friends with as much as he could muster. However, he's also rather sneaky due to his inwardly rebellious nature, and can often get into things he's not supposed to.

Despite having no ulterior motives as of now, still being eleven and all, he's an ambitious young man, and has plans on becoming a powerful wizard, powerful enough to protect his family and friends. He doesn't like the thought of giving up, and this can make him seem competitive when going against someone of an equal mindframe. The boy has sharp instincts and a sharp mind that he often relies on, and his quick-thinking often ends up with him doing something 'daring' or 'risky' in the eyes of others, but is, in fact, natural and smart, in his own brain. A bit of a mix between Gryffindor and Slytherin, to put it in house terms. He has his immature moments, like every other eleven year old, even if he can come off as a tad more...mature than others his age. His main traits are his quick-thinking abilities and cleverness, and his determination and bravery, all in which will most-likely grow as he ages and matures.

History: Jason was born to an american wizarding mother and a British father, within London. They were a middle-classed family, and when he was three years old, in popped another sibling - his sister. Time passed by, and in secrecy - scared of his father's muggleness, Jason's mother taught and told Jason and his little sister about the wonders of magic, even if they were too young to honestly comprehend it. It was mostly so that she could feel as if she was still relevant within the magical community. His father left them once he saw his mother doing magic - only a small Wingardium Leviosa spell when a stack of books fell from the top shelf, almost toppling onto Jason, and as his mother was a retired auror, life was pretty hard in those days. She had no muggle job, having spent the majority of her life in Hogwarts, and thusly, they went into debt relatively quickly.

They went from high middle-classed to lower-classed, not having much money, and Jason had to start struggling to help his mom. He stole, got into some trouble at school, but somehow stayed in the top reigns of the class, trying to make end's meet. His mom finally got a break when she was given a job within the magical world, but she opted to stay residing in the muggle-world so that her daughter could finish her grades there. With this, Jason was sent to Hogwarts. He didn't really want to go, since he had made a few friends - dangerous friends, but friends, in the streets of London, but went with it for now. So far, from what he'd read, DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, and possibly Potions would be his favorite classes, as they seemed the most interesting to him. Quidditch is also interesting, being a wizarding sport.

Blood Type: Half-Blood

Family:
Mother - Lillian Obelisk, Pure-blood and former Ravenclaw.
Father - Muggle bastard, probably dead somewhere.
Sister - Rose Obelisk, eight years old.

Are we allowed 2 characters because I want to make twin girls @KahleenCuthald

@carla6677

I would ask someone if they'd like to RP the other twin :) but if you rather take on them for yourself, you can do that. But you will have to put equal energy into both of them and also be able to handle two characters on your hand.

[carla6677]

I have an idea for them but I wouldn't mind someone else playing the other girl, PM me if you want to

[carla6677]

@KahleenCuthald I have another question before I post my CS

[Benzaiten]

@KahleenCuthald I have another question before I post my CS

@carla6677

Go ahead. Ask.

[carla6677]

@KahleenCuthald how much do you expect us to write in post

[Gareth]

I can see students flooding in for this.

Is the transfiguration teacher position open?

[Benzaiten]

@KahleenCuthald how much do you expect us to write in post

@carla6677

I would like to get a good idea of what the character feels or thinks during the situation. If you can do that in two sentences and make us see what your character's thoughts or feelings are, that's fine. If you rather put it into 20 sentences, that's cool too. Try to find your own balance. Important is only that you try to use good enough grammar for people to understand it and use enough words and sentences to make other players see what your character is at currently. In conversations the writing is usually smaller and that's all fine.

So I can live with a few. I can also live with a few more ;)

[Benzaiten]

I can see students flooding in for this.

Is the transfiguration teacher position open?

@Gareth

Why do you see "students flooding in" for this? :)

Yes it is still open. You are able to claim it. (You can also take over the House Teacher position if you want to do that too)

[carla6677]

Fine for me, if it is that then I can play both twins by myself
You might find that my characters have distinctive traits to certain house because I made them to be in complete opposite houses
@KahleenCuthald
Also can they be related to cannon characters in a realistic way, if not it doesn't matter.

[Joshua Tamashii]

Full Name:
Amelia Artemia Averyonna

Nicknames:
none

Realistic picture:


Blood:
Muggleborn

Date of Birth:
4/23/2005

Family:
Ellis Averyonna (Mother/Deceased)
Unknown Father
Unknown Grandparents (Desceased)

Personality:
Amelia is a kind, sweet, and gentle but very shy girl. She has a tendency to prefer to stay by herself and away from others, in order to avoid having to talk to others. These habits are due to her embarrassment at being mute and wanting to avoid situations where she might have to speak. Even though she is capable of using sign language but due to a lack of people around her capable of using it, she prefers to find other means to talk to others.

Amelia enjoys spending time outside and will do so, regardless of the weather, unless it is a thunderstorm as she has a fear of thunder and lightning after being locked outside during one such storm.. She likes being around plants and creatures, things that she can interact with without having to talk. She also enjoys taking care of them and the visual beauty that comes from such effort, using them as subjects for her sketchings.

One outstanding trait of Amelia is her self-confidence. Or rather, her complete lack thereof. Amelia's lack of confidence in herself is to the point that if she does accomplish something, she doesn't feel as if she was the one who actually accomplished the task, even if she was the only one to work on it. This lack of confidence also effects how she views her talents, causing her to think she is lacking in an area where she is actually quite skilled at.

Amelia is also a pacifist. No matter how badly you treat her, she will simply bow her head and let her tormentor(s) continue until they are finished. She will never seek revenge on them or hold a grudge and simply views such things as a natural part of her life that she cannot avoid. This, combined with her muteness often makes her a target for bullies and people of the like.

History:
Amelia was born as the only child to a single mother, Ellis Averyonna. Ellis did her best to raise Amelia and had to keep a constant eye on her daughter, due to Amelia being born mute and unable to make a sound when she needed something. Despite the struggles, Ellis managed to be a good mother to Amelia and kept the two of them from living on the streets. However, when Amelia was only one year old, she and Ellis where involved in a car accident, which Amelia survived but Ellis perished in.

Unable to contact the girl's biological father or any other relatives, the young child was quickly placed into foster care. While in the system, Amelia has been in many foster homes but also taken out of them all. Many of her foster parents put her back in the system after repeated magical incidents. On top of this, Amelia had trouble getting along with the siblings she would live with, with most of them being older and picking on her due to her inability to call for their parents and fight back. This resulted in most of the magical incidents that would cause her to be put back into a group home.

Life outside of a normal household was no better for the young girl, as she was picked on just as often and her burst of magical power tended to land her in even more trouble. These days, she often just stays in her room, avoiding others and passing the time by sketching, a skill she gotten remarkably good at.

@carla6677

You can play them both, but will have to do two independent character sheets for them.

It depends. How do you wanna relate them? They cannot be the children of cannon characters, but if you have something in mind, feel free to share your idea.

[carla6677]

@KahleenCuthald lets say this guys father had a brother who had twin girls but the brother is younger so he is not too old when they are born so cousin

[Benzaiten]

@Asuu Could you please add a birth date? and also your CS says one year later your sister was born, and then it says sister 8 years and you 11 and half. :)

@Joshua Tamashii perfection. reminds me of my girlfriend who is deaf and showed me some sign language here and there. she's a real diamond. you can add her to the character tab. Note: Don't change her CS when already moved without telling me. thanks xx

[Benzaiten]

@KahleenCuthald lets say this guys father had a brother who had twin girls but the brother is younger so he is not too old when they are born so cousin

@carla6677

mmmh I could live with that but we would not interact with cannon characters, not even as NPC, so they would not be in the RP. I wanna keep it fair here. But you are allowed to do that. but don't make them the best friends in the world and stuff. because I don't want too much relation to the cannon characters so we can keep it fair and OOC mostly.

[carla6677]

@KahleenCuthald The 2 brothers fell out before even the oldest cousin was born so no interaction unless she is saying that her cousin is stupid from what she has heard or something like that but that will be a small mention rarely.

@carla6677
