Personality: A happy-go-lucky playboy, Geoffrey's always on the go and looking for his adventure. He's short on responsibility and maturity, but long on luck, which likely explains how he's managed to survive as long as he has. It doesn't hurt that he's very personable, a great asset when it comes to seducing members of either sex. Geoffrey's a nice guy all-around, just more of a boy than a man when it comes to maturity, and it shows.
Strengths: Both magical and personality: Geoffrey is very personable and charming - he dates lots of people (male and female) and they all like him and none of them ever seem to be mad at him after the break up. He may not be the greatest of magicians, but everyone seems to like him. He's also extraordinarily lucky (see Background/History).
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: Not the most understanding or tactful of people when it comes to other peoples problems, Geoffrey has a bad tendency of putting his foot in his mouth when called upon to be more mature than his usual standard. He doesn't always know when to stop when it comes to his flirtations, and has put himself in some uncomfortable situations because of this in the past. Will (and, on more than one occasion, has) leap before he looks.
Fears: Has an unfortunate and inexplicable fear of commanding, older women of the severe and matriarchal variety. Will and has hid behind others who are half his age (and size) in order to escape their fearsome, reptilian gaze. Tends to blame this fear on Blodwyn, a distant cousin of his.
History: Geoffrey is the half-brother of Rhianwen Chandler, mother of Gillichu and Nimuë Chandler. His mother, Elise Chandler née Hamil is a Muggleborn witch and very much a "sweet young thing" that his father Kynan married sometime after the death of his first wife. Because the Chandler family in general was not entirely happy about the engagement, both Elise and Kynan drank some Felix Felicis (a wedding gift from one of Kynan's children) the day of their wedding in order to ensure that the wedding would go off without a hitch. As it turned out, Geoffrey was also conceived that night, and as a result some of the concentrated "luck" in the potion seems to transferred Geoffrey himself. He's been something of a playboy since his teenage years, and more recently spends his time travelling and running errands for his old headmaster. He's close to his youngest nephew, Gillichu.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Tall (6'3"), tanned, with longish blond hair that goes nearly to his shoulders, stubbly-chin, and is pretty good looking.
Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional: gets along well with both his parents, particularly well with his mother; of his siblings, closest to Rhianwen, his youngest sister (though still 16 years older than him); also quite close to his nephew (Rhianwen's son), Gillichu; gets along well with most all of his family (with the exception of his cousin Blodwyn, scary lady that she is)
Friends: Optional: remains friends with nearly all his exxes; relatively close to Victoria Bloom, who he unsuccessfully tries to woe on a regular basis (his lack of success being, perhaps, a very good thing, since he's also friends with Aki Oniyama, the love of her life)
Other: Optional: runs the occasional errand for his old headmaster when the old coot asks him to
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval. Unusually lucky due to the Felix Felicis that seems to have transferred onto him. Like many other members of his family, Geoffrey speaks fluent Welsh in addition to English. Also, because he's spent much of his adult life travelling the globe, Geoffrey has picked up enough that he can mostly hold a conversation in a dozen or more different languages. Recently he's concentrated on his Japanese (tutored by Victoria Bloom and her son) because of the amount of time he expects to spend in that country in the near future.
Currently flying the latest Firebolt, bought with his own Dumbledore's money as compensation for being conned into taking the job at Hogwarts.
COMMUNITY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS -- ONLY ANSWER THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER
Altas:
Prior School: Hogwarts
What house were they in? (Or would they have been in had they gone to Hogwarts?): Gryffindor
Why were they in that house? (Or why would they have been in that house?): Adventurous, bold, brave, and carefree all describe Geoffrey. He's a loyal (if not particularly well-behaved) guy, and never content to stay in one place or mind his business.
Occupation: jack-of-all-trades Hogwarts flying instructor
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
Stepping into the terminal, Geoffrey surveyed the scene around him. Not a familiar face in sight, and despite having spent years with Victoria, learning, not that sure of his mastery of the language. Still, he'd found over the years that there was little charm could not get for him, and he did have a fish in his ear and translation charms, though not all that useful at times, were fast and could easily be performed in an empty toilet stall.
Hoisting one bag over his shoulder and picking up the other one, he started across the airport. Maybe there'd be some cute birds (or blokes, he wasn't picky) on this job.
MOD-ONLY QUESTIONS -- THESE WILL ONLY BE KNOWN TO THE MODS
Character Secrets: Geoffrey is a member of the Order, though most people don't know this for sure. At the moment, he's mostly supposed be making connections with the Japanese magical community, trying to gain their support in the fight against Voldemort, though he'll pop up elsewhere in the world as well.
Character Alliance: Geoffrey in no way supports Voldemort, and though he does not outright attack the man and his followers, he will often make his disgust quite clear in conversation.
