In Character
Full Name: Albus Severus Potter
Nicknames: Al
DOB/Age: March 12, 2006/21
Birthplace: London, England
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Fandom: Harry Potter
Journal: _alsevpotter
PB: Ryan Taylor
Alignment: Good
Canon Point: Canon: Post-Epilogue Character: Post-Hogwarts with a deviant year in Vegas and more than a little time spent kicking around LOMB
History (250 words minimum): Growing up a Potter was very much the sitcom it implies. Al's days were spent bouncing between his own home and the Burrow with his grandparents, or Diagon Alley with his Uncle George. He spent most of his childhood clinging to his father's leg and being quite over-dramatic when he disappeared for long periods of time. His holidays were noisy and enjoyable until James started picking on him, from then on out it was just another chance for James to be loud and the center of attention and for Al to hang out with Rose, Molly and Louis and hide.
But apart from that, Al grew up in a very warm, loving home with doting parents. Hogwarts was Hogwarts. He was sorted into Slytherin after a fight with James and meeting Scorpius, thus sealing his fate as the weird Potter kid in Slytherin. He took most of that in stride, keeping to Scorpius' side like paste on macaroni art. He avoided romantic entanglements, finding them weird and uncomfortable and he kept to himself.
His biggest joy in Hogwarts was the learning. He loved his classes with an embarrassing passion, finding a home in the library reading steadily through the books during his free time. He didn't join Quidditch, because the idea of getting knocked around the head with a Bludger didn't appeal to him.
Despite years of fighting, Al voluntarily moved in with James when he left Hogwarts, just to be out of the house and away from his mum pushing him to get a job.
And when things began to get really frustrating, Al suddenly found himself in Las Vegas, without any real explanation.
Previous Game History, if applicable (250 words minimum): All Relevant Logs Found Here, Here, and Here.
Personality (250 words minimum): Albus Potter is the world's greatest self-proclaimed Slytherpuff. He doesn't really embody the Slytherin personality, being far too cuddly for the backstabbing parts. He's still incredibly sneaky and manipulative when it's something that matters. Usually though, Al is a bundle of hyperactive energy, prone to mood swings in either direction at the drop of the hat.
Despite this, Al has very few enemies and some very dear friends who he loves and depends on. These are the people he purposefully surrounds himself with to keep happy. He's never one to jump head first into a fight unless the fight is close to home, and he'll still be the last one out the door unless things are dire.
His panic attacks started at an early age, brought on by long nights when his father wouldn't be home. The feelings of being helpless and alone would overwhelm him to the point he could hardly breathe, leaving his mother in a constant state of worry that something bad might happen.
He is reliable in so much as he's completely off his nut. People can depend on him to be a shoulder to cry on, but they can also depend on him to do something completely mental at the next turn, making spontaneous purchases, or springing plans on people like they have nothing better to do than cater to his needs.
But when Al loves, Al loves deeply, and he moves slow, constantly uncertain about what he's doing. Feelings of inadequacy press upon him often and he finds it easier just to fumble into things he might like, rather than planning them out. He's aware most people probably find him quirky at best and downright weird at worse.
Appearance: Al is tall. Like. Really stupendously tall. He's hovering at just around 6'3" and often times forgets that. Like really, honestly forgets. His forehead is a timeline of bruises when he forgot to duck through low-lying doors. He's skinny as a rail, and it has been proven that a strong breeze will knock him over onto his ass. He has messy black hair, green, green eyes and knobbly knees. He also has a small smattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks that aren't noticeable at a distance. He tends to dress overly casual, unless trying to make an impression, so most days he's found running around in hooded sweaters, torn jeans and trainers. He's often found wearing a thin layer of sugar and flour too.
Likes: Traveling, cats, chocolate and peanut butter, football, amusement parks, rolling around on the floor, quiet time, Regulus
Dislikes: Intense change, drinking, panic attacks, fish allergies, older brothers
Strengths: Kind/Accepting/Compassionate/Patient, super huggable, Vague Potter Charm thing, Being so unlike a Weasley it's deceptive, very, very distracting
Weaknesses: family disputes, family in general, inability to face change like an adult, bizarre social manners, laziness
Any special facts/special abilities/anything else we should know about your character? He's a pretty decent wizard, when he remembers he is one.
What is arriving with your character: His wand, his wallet, and a worn down paperback copy of The Commitments by Roddy Doyle
