EXTENDED APPLICATION -- PLEASE DO AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH ON EACH OF THESE, UNLESS THEY ARE STATED TO BE OPTIONAL
Personality: Danny is sarcastic, with a black sense of humour. He can be quite shy, quite sweet, quite cutting and quite cruel. Danny is one of those typical young men who, from parental influence, pushes himself ridiculously hard to try and be the best. He is whole-heartedly loving, but he does not love easily. He is not a very trusting person; he is very private and rather "tortured" on the whole. He does not tend to spend time in people's company, preferring instead to spend his time alone with books or a musical instrument. He cannot relate to others because he does not yet understand himself, and he has absolutely no sense of honour or concept of the worth of human life.
Strengths: Both magical and personality: Danny is capable of withstanding rather large amounts of physical pain. He is very good at any subject which involves intensive amounts of research and/or science. He is a ruthless person when called upon to be, which could be seen as a strength depending on who you asked. He can also, however, be extremely loving and giving -- when he gives his heart to something, he doesn't do it halfway.
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: Danny is incapable of withstanding emotional pain. He also is not very good at wandwork, therefore he fails at things like Transfiguration. He is passive-aggressive and cannot fight with others for very long without becoming manipulative and wilting. He tends to accomplish his ends by whatever means necessary and that usually involves deception and darkness rather than enduring hardship. He tends to alienate others and judge them very harshly on first perception.
Fears: The thing that Danny fears the most is being completely alone. He also has an irrational fear of failure, which leads him to work himself very hard to avoid it. He is also irrationally afraid of gaining weight and being looked at. Danny's last extreme fear is abandonment. To avoid this he will bend to almost anyone's will -- anyone being anyone whose approval he seeks.
History: Danny is the youngest of 3 boys; Octavian and Richard Jr. are both working for the Ministry by now. He grew up in an upperclass pureblooded wizarding family, going to private Catholic primary school and, when his eating disorder manifested itself at age eight, continuing lessons with a private tutor. His parents always pushed intelligence and the worth of the family name, fortune and bloodline and so his values are skewed by those influences.
Danny works a little too hard and feels like he has to be the best - consequently, he's wound up as one of the numbers in a rather small statistic: males with eating disorders. Danny was "fine" 'til his fourth year, in which he went a bit off the perfection-seeking deep end and was pulled from school under the tag of "medical leave" and sent - rather shamefully - to a Muggle institution. He retured to retake his fourth year, during which time he started dating Remy Cowan.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Danny is very tall at 6'5" but he is also so thin that he's sickly. His hair is longish and shaggy, a natural red dyed blue-black. The cut of his hair is an angular A-line. He's got golden brown eyes and deathly pale skin, which he usually covers up by wearing a lot of black. His skin is criss-crossed with scars from a recurring self-injury problem, but he seldom wears clothing that shows them much. Generally he will wear eyeliner, but no other makeup of any kind.
Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional:
Friends:
Other: Danny is dating Remy Cowan.
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval.
COMMUNITY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS -- ONLY ANSWER THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER
Hogwarts:
Year: repeating 4th; a year behind schedule due to medical leave
House: Ravenclaw
Why are they in that house? Danny enjoys books and learning for the sake of knowledge alone more than anything else. He finds research an enjoyable pasttime and will always look to book knowledge and lore for answers first. He considers knowledge to be the most valuable possession.
Position: student.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
He hated breakfast. The fork in his left hand stirred and poked at the food on his plate, but he had yet to swallow a mouthful. Oh, how he hated breakfast. And lunch, and dinner, and all those stupid times in between when people insisted upon eating something even though they didn't need the sustenance at all....
Whoa there. Mental soapbox.
The Ravenclaw sighed and propped his chin in his hand. He'd given upon coffee recently, and the mug of decaffeinated tea in front of him didn't look very appealing. He considered his options while stirring the eggs on his plate. The Ravenclaw looked particularly sombre today; eyes edged in thicker-than-usual smokey black, nothing to hide the circles under them, hair straight, school uniform. His bag sat idly next to him. It looked as though Danny had been trying to force food down his throat for quite a while with no to little success.
MOD-ONLY QUESTIONS -- THESE WILL ONLY BE KNOWN TO THE MODS
Character Secrets: Danny likes to think of his eating disorder and self-injury problem as secrets, though in reality they are probably much less secret than they used to be. His main secret is the fact that he personally stole Zak Reso's wand from the Gryffindor dormitory, making the blame-for-the-party plot device possible.
Character Alliance: Danny's entire family are Death Eaters and consequently, so is he. (or will be as soon as he is old enough, whatever.)
