"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"



GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Connor is your typical eleven year old boy. He's starting into the lanky stage of his growth a bit early in life but his skin, a bit pale in color, still remains acne free. His eyes are an ice blue but are surprising warmer in appearance then one might expect. Brownish-blonde hair hangs down just below his ears messily cut with short bangs that are just as messy.

He has a long slightly pointed nose and high cheekbones with narrow lips, giving a not entirely handsome appearance. His walk is typically long and bouncy like he has springs on his feet. However, after Connor's 'accident' his gait is far shorter and he walks with his head down and is bent slightly over as if trying to hide himself. Several large, claw mark shaped scars, that seemed to be quite deep and unpleasant when they were done, run across his left forearm, shoulder and back. There is also several bite marks on his right shoulder, arm and right flank that looks to be from a very large dog. Both the bites and claw marks seem to have not healed very well, leaving scars that appear to go deeper then flesh. The bite on his flank has left it with a hollow appearence, where the creature took a bite out of his muscle.

Werewolf Appearance:
When he turns into a werewolf, he looks like any other one, only he appears as an adolescent one. His fur is grey mingled with several black markings and his eyes remain that ice blue only in a larger size.

MOST LIKED FEATURE: His eyes
MOST HATED FEATURE: (Before accident) his lankiness. (After) His scars
HERITAGE: English
ETHNICITY: Caucasian


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."



GENERAL PERSONALITY:
Before Being Infected

• Cheerful, Bright and Bubbly. It’s very hard to find Connor in a bad mood or even to get him into one. He always does his best to make everyone’s day better along the way and at times seems to have had way too much caffeine as he seems to bounce off the walls.
  
• Good Sense of Humor. Laughter is medicine and that’s what Connor believes. Making people laugh and smile, along with playing a few harmless pranks is all done in good fun. Just as long as no one gets hurt in the process.
  
• Friendly. Its good to be the life of the party and when one has a lot of friends it makes things even better. Though there are some that do not like Connor there are many more that love him even more.
  
• Encouraging. Conner does his best to encourage those around him. No dream too small, no goal too big. All one has to do is keep trying until they succeed.
  
• Know It All Book Worm. If there’s a book out there, Connor’s probably read it at least once. When he’s not with friends or doing some sort of work, he’s reading. And the information he gets from those books (fiction or non-fiction) tends to be stored in most of his brain and when someone happens to say something about something he has read he tends to chime in (whether he was in the conversation or not) adding his bit of information. This tends to give people the impression he is a know-it-all when all he really suffers from is information-vomit and he doesn’t get how to keep himself from saying such things.
  
• Romance Inept. Sure he’s eleven, romance is not normally on the top of the list for many at that age and Connor’s no exception. But when he finds himself around the opposite sex he tends to get tongue tied and flustered as he doesn’t want to seem like some sort of an idiot which happens anyway.
  
• Complete Showoff. When you have the skills you just have to show them off. Connor tends to do anything from spells to daring stunts as long as he can be in the spotlight for those few moments. Mind you, he’d never do anything to hurt himself or someone else but his ego clouds his judgment from time to time. This often gets him in trouble when someone dares him to do something as he doesn’t know when to back down.
  

After Being Infected

• Adjustment. His behavior after being infected is mostly from shock and general adjustment as his world has been turned upside down. As he comes to accept that what has happened is something he cannot run from and accepts that fact, he will start to gain back his old personality, for the most part. Just a matter of time. (This is more of an OOC note then anything but I wanted to make sure that it was understood that he wasn’t just going to be some sort of anti-social beast the whole time.)
  
• Sullen and Self-Pitying. Since being infected his cheerful mood has for the most part disappeared. From time to time it resurfaces, but its not a huge part of himself anymore. His sullen attitude nearly boarders on the gloom and doom type feelings, where he feels that life’s not worth it, anything he wanted to do in life is now completely gone but he’s not suicidal. As for the self-pitying, it’s mostly a mix of ‘why did this happen to me?’ and ‘My life is worthless now.’ Connor also tends to be very whiney, complaining about the smallest of things and comparing his problem (in his head, never actually saying it) to everyone else’s.
  
• Anti-Social. Once a social butterfly, Connor now tries to keep everyone away from him through aggression or complete avoidance. When this is not possible (like in classes, the great hall, ect), he tends to rush through whatever he’s doing (unless he forgets as he tends to get very engrossed in his work) just so he can get away from everyone that much faster. Connor feels that the less people he has around him the less chance that someone will figure out his condition or less the chance he’ll infect someone.
  
• Yearning For Friends. Even through his anti-social habits (which are mostly fear related) he craves friends. However, his fears do tend to make things a challenge to have some. But at the same time, he feels that he needs to keep his distance for everyone’s safety. Connor also is afraid that if he became friends with someone and they found out what he was that they would run away screaming, so to speak. So by keeping people away from him and not making friends, he feels that he’s saving himself the pain of getting close to someone and then they run off
  
• Paranoid. Connor has a complete, paralyzing fear that someone will figure out his condition and he’ll have to leave Hogwarts (even if he didn’t originally want to go he doesn’t want to disappoint his parents) so he does his best not to let anyone get too close. This, keeping people away, tends to cause him to jump at shadows, sudden movements or loud noises as he somehow can justify any of those things to be directed at him. Also any adult (wizard or other wise) that he has not met yet causes him to irrationally flee and hide for several hours at a time as he tends to think that whoever shows up is here to take him away. (Where they would take him is completely unknown). There are moments when he’s not completely mentally stable.
  

Things That Never Changed

• Obsessive Compulsive. There are several things in life Connor demands and they would be that things should always be picked up and put away where they belong when one is not using them. That things always match or be of color that goes together well and attire must always be neat. If the object/person in question is really bothering him, he will take things into his own hands and fix them whether people get upset with him or not.
  
• Stoic. Although he is normally a friendly fun loving person there are times (normally when he’s studying or not wanting to be bothered) where he becomes withdrawn, emotionless and rarely smiles, laughs or does anything that he considers foolish. (He does tend to be even more like this after being infected.)

• Building Things (Muggle toys, mostly)
  
• Learning Something New (Dull to some but a hobby none-the-less)

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."



GENERAL HISTORY:
Connor was born in London when the weather was fair to a wizard and a muggle. Nothing really out of the ordinary with that, his father worked at the Ministry of Magic in the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad and his mother worked a small, part time job at a local tea shop. Sure there were a few magical things around the house but for the most part, things were quite normal by muggle standards they even had plugs.

By the age of four, Connor showed his first magical abilities when he turned their pet dog’s white fur into a blue and green poke-a-dotted one. Life at muggle school was fine (he went because his mother thought it would be good for him to have some sort of a background in muggle teachings) he got along with most and was generally well mannered.

When he received his letter, Connor was very much so beside himself, it opened up many new doors and things to learn (even with a wizard father he felt that he still hadn’t learned all there was to learn). He nearly raced through Diagon Alley, buying the required supplies and several things he didn’t need. (Multi-color changing ink and non-course related books just to name a few). Within the first week he had managed to read all the course books at least once (as he was known to be obsessive compulsive when it came to reading things.)

However, one night about two weeks after going to Diagon Alley, the family dog, Bark, went missing. Connor, being overzealous about finding their pet didn’t heed his father’s words and wait but took off in search of Bark by himself. He started the search near the woods that happened to be on the edge of their backyard. He searched for near five minutes when he heard the strangest howl he had ever heard it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Then he found Bark, or at least what was left of him just inside the woods. Something had ripped the poor dog in half.

Connor nearly vomited from the sight but his grieving was cut short by another one of those strange howls… it was closer this time. Something in his mind told him that things were not right and to run and that he did. Connor raced his way out of the woods, heading back for the house when something very large landed on his back, taking him to the ground in that single motion. It clawed and bit him, Connor screamed from both the pain and seeing what his attacker was. A werewolf! The creature continued to inflict damage upon him as he started to slip into unconsciousness, the last thing he remembered was the sound of his father’s voice and a flash of green light from the avada kedavra spell his father had cast.

Connor awoke some days later, strapped to a bed in St. Mungo’s. He had survived but he awoke just in time to hear the healer state that there was no cure for his condition. That did not improve things, though the letter he received stating that he was still going to be permitted into Hogwarts helped his mood some though the more he thought and learned about his new found ailment the less he wanted to go. He was a downright danger to other people and he had read some things on werewolves. Those that chose not to become mindless creatures were often ostracized by their peers. What hope was there for him?

In the end, both his mother and father decided that he should go to Hogwarts anyway. They said that it would be good for him and that there were the finest professors there and that there were potions that could help lessen the burden. Connor agreed to go but he doubted all those claims. He was never going to be a great wizard, things were never going to be the same. All he was now was a giant wolf every full moon that may or may not try to maim someone. Even through all his bitterness, there was at least a glimmer of hope. Perhaps things would get better but for now, Connor didn’t see it.

please insert corrections that need to be made
good luck!
To Improve:

• His personality section seems very short - please give us some more detail in this area.
  
  

Admin Note: Hi there! Your app looks pretty good, but we'd like to see more of his personality. It's good that you portrayed the contrast of how he is before and after his accident, but we'd like to see more of how he is now. Is he friendly to people or does he just push everyone away? If he doesn't reach out to people, how does he have friends? You say he worries about becoming friendless, but it seems like he wouldn't want friends in the first place - "the less people around him, the better". Just clear up a few of these issues regarding his personality and give him some more traits. Perhaps he wants friends but is really jumpy around people and has trouble trusting people. As long as there's more to him than just fear and segregation, you'll be fine. =)
