[OOC] Hogwarts: We Are Now

[Feisty-Pants]

Interesting all around so far, I expect Ravenclaws to excel in their headmistress' subject. :|

[Jester]

Name: Jeff Roberts
Age: 17
Year: Seventh

Gender: Male

House: Gryffindor (Head Boy)
Magical Heritage: Pure-blood

Personality: Jeff is a popular student and this is mostly due to his personality. He is as affable as anyone you will ever meet and this is largely due to him being a genuinely nice person. He's friends with all of the older students and he's helpful to all of the younger students. His professors see him as a model pupil and example that all should follow. He was prefect in both his fifth and sixth year and nobody was surprised when he was appointed Head Boy. His charm is something that he gets from his father, who is a career politician and holds the British seat on the International Confederation of Wizards. His mother is a beautiful socialite. Between the two of them, Jeff gets his most important trait: ambition.

Being good looking, young, and talented, no one doubts that Jeff will be a fast riser once he leaves Hogwarts, but the perception everyone else has of him is far more limited than that of his own perception. His ambition isn't a dark one though. He's been strongly against the traditional governmental structure that has ruled Britain, and many other countries for centuries. He wants to root out the corruption that has run rampant through the magical government for years. In Jeff's mind, the only way to accomplish such a feat involves making major political gains.

Assets: His wand. Eleven and a half inches of holly wood with a unicorn hair core. He owns a large barn owl named John.

Special Gifts and Abilities: Highly intelligent. Make great marks in all of his classes. Talented with practical magic, having been part of the dueling club for a few years before his responsibilities as a prefect forced him to quit. He's okay on a broom, but he'd prefer not to if possible. Bar none though, his best gift is his charisma, which few people can resist.

Edit: Seems a little perfect, but that's kind of the point. He's got some serious flaws though. I'm sure y'all know the type from back in high school.

I see a possible rivalry~

Also, Jeff Roberts has no picture.

[Jester]

Damn, thanks for telling me. I'll fix it.

[Kirah]

Jeff is ambitious but not slytherin, his choice?
Being a slytherin does not make one evil or dark, just cunning and ambitious.

Well, it's more an issue of his idealism. Will he fix political corruption? It's not likely, but he's brave enough to want to go in without fear of what happens to him in the long run. That and I'm trying to balance things out with houses.

Fair enough.
And besides it always is your choices that make you who you are.

This thread makes me want to re-read the books, but between student-teaching and seminars, I just wouldn't have the time.

Edit: Picture showing up now?

[VerifyinTr1gIDs]

Does Jeff Robert's picture look a little too old for him to anyone?

[Eyeris]

No, you'd be surprised, I had a friend in HS who looked 40 from the moment he was 14, use imagination to 'young' him a bit.

Thanks for all the compliments on Fexlix ^_^ he should be fun. And I don't have a student character so forgive me if he is super active for a teacher!

I'm glad I just finished re reading them. Though I am translating the german version to English so I guess I'm re-re-reading them.

Really... The effects of tobacco. *shakes head*

If they were made in English and translated to German, what good is it to translate the German back to English? Unless... you found propaganda in the German translation?!

[Kirah]

I'm learning German. So it's just practice for me

Oh, okay. How's learning it? Easy? Hard?

Not gonna lie, I struggled looking through pictures. It's just not my thing. That's Josh Lucas from a Beautiful Mind. His character's in his early twenties and in college. He's probably late twenties in reality. But I felt he looked only a little old and I liked the aesthetic.

Actually, not tobacco at all. He was very straight-edge. The funniest guy I ever met, and the sweetest. He just... idk... started balding at 12, had glasses, and he always wore button-down's and khakis.

He always made the beer runs...

But he didn't age from there... at 14 he looked 40, and at 20 he looked 40, and looks exactly the same now.

Not relevant really, but an anecdote.

Wow. Puberty. How old is he now?

I don't like teaching myself. But it's interesting.

[Feisty-Pants]

How many Ravenclaw students do we have so far? ._.?

Good God. First year as a professor, and her House's head at the same time. Amelia is going to have her hands full.

[Eyeris]

Hmmm... 30-something?

Aaaand don't worry! Amelia can always ask the PHELIX for help!
