Player Name // Username: Kate // astraevirgo
Player House: Ravenclaw
Character Name: Cody Nelson
Preferred Character House: Slytherin
Character Age: 14
If your character is a student - what year is s/he? 4th
What kind of wand does your character possess? Rowan and phoenix feather, 8 inches.
Does your character own a broom? Which brand? *Nimbus with mod permission only* No, he’s poor.
Describe your character’s strengths:
Cody has a great power of concentration. He’s a brilliant student, doing as much as he can to get the good grades so he can grow up and get a good job. (He only does what is necessary, however. He doesn’t go above and beyond the call of duty.) Having grown up relatively poor in muggle London, he wants to be the CEO of a wizarding company… if that’s possible, at least. Cody is a stand-up boy, the type you can bring home to your parents, especially since he has a clear vision of his goal: security.
Cody is good at physical things - potions, herbology, and the wand work in transfiguration and charms. He was playing soccer at his public elementary school before his Hogwarts letter came, but doesn’t have the money to buy a broom to join the Quidditch team. So, he uses his excess energy for the enthusiasm for his school work.
Cody’s electives are Divination and Ancient Runes.
Describe your character’s flaws/weaknesses:
Cody is a personality chameleon. It was his thirst to prove himself that got him placed in Slytherin, a trait that leads him to act as people want to see him. If a character wants him to be slightly evil, then he’ll be slightly evil; if a character wants him to be studious and witty, he’ll be studious and witty. This also means that Cody has some very deep identity issues, stemming from the fact that he is the bastard son of a philandering pureblood man and a bartender’s one-night stand.
Cody doesn’t slack off in his school work, but bookwork is really hard for him. He has to get himself in the zone to sit down to do his History of Magic, astronomy, and ancient runes homework.
Describe your character's physical attributes. If you have a preferred PB, state it here -- although check the list first!: Martin Spanjers, like Woah.
Is your character Muggle born, a half blood, or a pureblood? Explain it.
Cody is a half-blood. His mother works in a trendy bar in London, one that is rented out to the highest bidder with frequency. Once, a highly selective Pureblood event went late into the night, and a philandering pureblood man managed to charm the jaded bartender - and they had a one night stand. Cody is the product of that one night stand. Throughout his childhood, his mother used to tell stories about how strange that party was. Now that Cody is at Hogwarts, he realizes that his father was a wizard. He just doesn’t know which one.
Character Background/History:
Cody grew up in what might be termed a rough neighborhood in London. He went to a public school, and played soccer at recess and on a rec league. He’s basically optimistic, despite the rough upbringing - his mom worked nights, and often tucked him into bed before leaving for her work. But because she worked nights, they had a close relationship, where Cody knew every detail of his conception (though not the explicit ones, ew) and subsequent upbringing. Cody knows he is loved, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to do better than his upbringing.
Please show us a sample RP for this character. It can be anytime -- either during their experiences at Hogwarts or before then:
Cody breathed deeply and sighed. His football was tucked under his arm, and with a sharp movement he flung the black and white ball in front of him, then ran after it, dribbling it between his feet as he went. The late-fall air stung his lungs as he began running through practice drills, but he didn’t care. He felt alive.
