Name: Joshua "Josh" Reynolds
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Year: 3
Lineage: Muggle-born
House: Gryffindor or Slytherin
Subjects:
- Potions
- Herbology
- Defence Against the Dark Arts
- Transfiguration
- History of Magic
- Astronomy
- Charms
- Care of Magical Creatures
- Muggle Studies
Appearance:
Hair: Mud brown and cut short. Often makes attempts to slick it back, though it springs up again in a matter of minutes. Sideburns and two stubborn hairs that stick out quite prominently to the left.
Eyes: Green. Has very thick eyebrows.
Body: A bit tall for his age and more muscular than most in his year, though it is more lean muscle than anything. Very tan since he spends most of his time outdoors. His hands are rough and calloused, and his body is covered in a mix of old scars and new cuts and bruises from roughhousing and exploring.
Fashion: He really dislikes the mandatory uniforms. He deals with the black shoes, but has a habit of rolling up his gray slacks to his knees. He almost never wears a tie and leaves the top buttons of his shirt undone, as well as rolling up the sleeves to his elbows. He wears the long, black robe when he has to but removes the garment and ties it around his waist whenever he gets free time. His clothes tend to be a bit worn, torn, and muddy since he is always running around outside in his uniform. His socks, however, are always his house colors.
Unique Traits: Aside from the two stubborn hairs and the large eyebrows, he always wears a bandage over the bridge of his nose. No one has ever seen him without it, so no one knows exactly what it conceals. Some say it is a horrible scar or disfiguration, and others say it is just for show.
Pet: He has snuck his koala, Kevin, in under the guise of a cat.
((If this isn't all right, just let me know and I'll give him a toad instead.))
Personality: Joshua has always been what one might call a "wild child." He gave his muggle parents trouble the moment he learned how to crawl, always exploring and getting into mischief. It only got worse when he learned how to walk, and then how to open the door. It was pure torture for Joshua's parents to get him inside, and he was always bringing home one creature or another. The outdoors and animals have been his two addictions since childhood.
Joshua is a very carefree, cheerful person. He loves having fun and playing around with people, whether they want to play with him or not. Tricks, pranks, and mischief unfortunately fall under his description of "playing." Since people tend to get upset with him or misunderstand his intentions easily, he prefers being with animals. He gets along well with most any creature, though he enjoys the challenges of a dangerous one to the easy trust of something soft and sweet.
Joshua does not enjoy school much. He gets bored the moment teachers begin to lecture and absolutely loathes homework and studying. He would much rather be swimming in the lake or sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, or flying around on his broomstick. This leads to him receiving mostly mediocre grades, but his parents do not seem to mind so long as he passes, so he does not mind either. Joshua feels he makes up for it with his physical actions in the classes, anyway.
Dreams: Auror or dragon trainer. Secretly, though, he would be content just to travel the world discovering all of the magical creatures it holds.
Other things: Joshua's parents are upper-middle class muggles. Thus they were able to change over a decent amount of muggle money into wizarding money for their son. He tends to only buy average supplies, however, preferring to save his money for sweets and other things he can buy in Hogsmeade. He has a Firebolt, though he is still getting used to riding the broom since it is much faster than his old Nimbus 2000. Both were birthday gifts from his parents; they bought him the Firebolt after he crashed his Nimbus into a Quidditch tower on accident.
((There wasn't anything about Quidditch in the rules. Are our characters allowed to be on a team for their house? I could see Joshua being a Beater or a Chaser.))
Sample Post:
"C'mon mate, it's all righ', I won't hurt ya." Joshua rocked on the balls of his feet as he crouched beside some brush at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, cloak tossed carelessly onto the grass behind him. He waggled the dead rat he held a bit more, grinning when there was a rapid clicking sound and the creature he was attempting to lure slipped further out of the shadows. "That's righ'. Come an' get the tasty rat~ C'mon now...." he cooed, inching back a bit. The creature followed after Joshua, clearly tempted by the promise of food, and was soon standing in the sunlight.
"Acromantula. You're even more of a beaut than the book said!" he whispered, awed. The spider was a young one, only about the size of his head, and where most students would be absolutely terrified he was simply delighted. Joshua set the rat on the grass and held perfectly still, watching as the arachnid crept forward to sink its large fangs into his offering. As it began to eat rather contentedly, he reached out, fingers brushing against the thick, black hair covering its body. The acromantula tensed for a moment before seeming to relax, allowing the strange human to pet it.
"I wonder if I could sneak ya back into the castle...."
