Premades

Original characters are encouraged and welcomed into the game. Original characters (or canon offspring) with unique and different personalities that are well-developed are always preferred. But we know that sometimes inspiration can be lacking, and thus, we have developed "premades" with various personality quirks to inspire you. That is their purpose, and is no way intended to substitute for the entire personality or personal history sections of the application. If you choose a premade, you must still develop them past the superficial; e.g. what other hobbies do they have / why or what caused them to act the way they do / how do they act besides the fact / etc. The quirk shouldn't necessarily define them, but just add a bit of colouring to their personality.

Unless otherwise stated, all premades are not gender-specific (can be either male or female), are not house or school-specific, and are not year or age-specific. For simplicity sake, we've written them all as "he". "He" could easily be "she", but writing "s/he" or "he/she" all the time is just silly.

THE AMATEUR CHEF "Women like pickles and ice cream!" or so he's heard, and if it sounds like an odd creation, chances are he's tried making it. Or perfecting it. From pigs-in-a-blanket to Baked Alaska, this guy will try cooking or baking (or stewing or grilling or frying) just about anything to hone his skills. Whether or not he's talented is another story.

THE BULLY "Give me your galleons or else!" Who needs to study and pass NEWTs when THE BULLY can just strong-arm his way? Luckily, his grace -or lack of- doesn't influence his professors (who won't hesitate to fail him like they did to one Marcus Flint a generation ago) but that doesn't stop him from picking on people who let him, or who he thinks pose no threat. He's not completely stupid, but he'd rather use his brawn and talent for hexing than a softer approach.

THE COMPETITOR "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing." to this guy and he is a competitor through and through. Whether it be academics or sports, he enjoys winning and beating the socks off his friends and enemies alike. That doesn't mean he's the best in everything he does, and there are times when he loses; he just doesn't like it. And not being chosen as his school's champion? That just makes him really really sour. But he won't be down for long. He'll manage a way back into the limelight by either dissing the entire competition or helping his school's champion while claiming the credit.

THE GOSSIP "Did you see Professor Peregrine and Professor Westmore in the hall?!!!" Whether it be gossip about the Hogwarts staff or student population or even the wait-staff at the Three Broomsticks, this guy just loves to hear it and spread it. He likes being in "the know" even if the know is none of his business or has been twisted several times and isn't even the truth anymore. Whatever secrets are around, be prepared. They won't be secrets for long.

THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER Rita Skeeter has nothing on this guy! With a nose for news, or at least generally reliable instincts, he'll leave no stone unturned when he's got an idea in his head or a lead to follow. The Triwizard Tournament? That's just the biggest story that's fallen into his lap in ages! And he won't let anyone outscoop him on this story!

THE Living HOGWARTS: A HISTORY "Did you know that Wendelin the Weird was burned at the stake 47 times during the fourteenth century?" Well, this guy does, and he's always helpful with random bits of facts and knowledge to help. He's a virtual book on history, but that doesn't mean he's a know-it-all or the smartest student in school. History is just his passion. [Note to applicant: You must be well versed in the Harry Potter universe and not afraid to use the Lexicon often, since this character quirk requires canon knowledge.]

THE PARANOID "Stay away from the pudding! It's been poisoned!" This guy takes being cautious to an extreme, and though he may have a few friends he trusts, it's hard to get on that side. He's not overly fond of THE AMATEUR CHEF because he's convinced that the other is out to make everyone sick, and as for the tournament, "Dear Merlin, it's the third rising of he-who-must-not-be-named!"

THE SABOTEUR He might be a bit disappointed that he wasn't chosen as champion for his school, but that doesn't mean he's out of the game! No, this guy will go through lengths just to ensure his fellow schoolmate wins the tournament, even it means giving the other teams false information of sabotaging their equipment. That doesn't mean he'll always be successful, since he can't predict every single action of the other side's friends, but he sure will try.

THE SPY "The other team is doing this..." He won't go through the same lengths as THE SABOTEUR but THE SPY is making sure his schoolmate gets an advantage over the other teams. It doesn't mean his information is always accurate, since he wouldn't know if he received false information to begin with or if the other teams changed their minds, but he will sneak around, ask questions in a roundabout fashion, and manipulate his way around the school.

THE TEACHER'S PET This apple polisher either thinks his professors are amazing (which some of them arguably are) or just enjoys sucking-up. Either way, half of the students roll their eyes at him and his compliments towards the professors while the other half are merely amused. Luckily, the professors are unaffected by his actions, even if on occasion they accept the compliments, but that doesn't stop him from praising and/or admiring them and their brilliance.
