Matthew Ashdown - Approved [G]
« on: 10 May 2011, 04:31 pm »
First and Last Name: Matthew Ashdown

Bloodline: Muggle-Born
Hair Color: Dark Brown, can be confused with Black
Eye Color: Green mixed with Blue giving it a semi-gray color most of the time but it changes with lightning
General Build: Average
Height: Average

Birthplace: Filey, United Kingdom
Brief Childhood History: Matthew has one fraternal-twin sister, her name is Alice Ashdown and their parents are Isabel Pearce and Jeffrey Ashdown.
Matthew was born in the small village of Filey in the United Kingdom, he's 5 minutes younger than his sister Alice. He loves his family, however, he's always pranking everyone and getting himself into crazy situations... If anyone asks how Matthew is they will always tell you that Matthew is a fun and happy kid, sometimes too much energetic for his own good.
At the public school Matthew was always above-average but that can be explained by the fact that he passed more time on the beach with his friends, they like call themselves a pact of wolves, trying to learn how to surf and pranking other people than actually studying and doing homework, that sort of tasks he usually did them on the way to the school inside the school bus, so he never really studied for a exam.
Matthew first magical experience was exactly when he was hanging up in a tree branch near his house with a slingshot trying to hit his sister's favorite dolls with sunflower seeds and as he loses his balance and fell on the ground he felt a enormous amount of pain on his right kneecap and looked at it and almost chocked as he saw a huge wound bleeding heavily, as a reaction of the pain and trying to stop the bleeding he pressed both of his hands against the wound for a short amount of time and as he did that he felt the pain getting lighter and lighter and as he took out his hands from the kneecap he saw that the wound got smaller and the bleeding was almost gone, Matthew doesn't understand how that happen but that was his first (and only) contact with magic.

Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Matthew cares about the people around him, if he sees that they need his help, because if not he will just prank them, he's also adventurous which most of the times just leads him straight into trouble. Matthew is also a smart kid, however, not a brilliant one, he tries to be fair (as fair as a 11/12 year old can be) and never blame no-one for his own mistakes and faults, however he will try to found a way out of the situation. Probably his best classes are going to be Charms and Transfiguration.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Matthew is a lazy kid, he will always prefer the easiest route to solve a situation if possible, for example, he will mostly try to cheat on a exam than study all night for it, he sometimes can be pretty immature (which is normal for a 11/12 year old) and a proof of that is his constant attempts to prank people. His worst classes are going to be those that are more theoretical than practical, for example, History of magic and Potions since he has troubles following step-by-step instructions as he always looks for the easiest route for things and he's the sort of kid that can think that jumping one or two steps on the preparation of a potion is a good idea.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Gryffindor. Because as stated before he's a prankster, which takes both courage to do it and bold because he gets himself in "huge" adventures to prank someone. Also, one of those can also be seen by the fact that a 11/12 year old trying to learn how to surf. He's also chivalrous, as a proof of that is the fact that he tries not to lie and when caught he will not blame someone else because he thinks that it's a attitude that it isn't correct towards the others.

Hiya! Welcome to HPRPG!  :biglove: We're so glad you've joined our little corner of the role-playing world. Before we can get your character sorted, I need you to make some quick changes to his sheet.

First, I need you to follow our official Character Sheet guidelines. Please remove the added section of 'Others' and the addition physical description in his 'General Build.' By 'Others,' do you mean that you're going to be playing Matthew's sister Alice as an NPC? NPCs are only allowed during special events, such as Quidditch games and summer home thread, and you'll be able to review those rules in detail after your character is sorted.

In his 'Brief Childhood History,' I'd like to know a little more about Matthew. ^^ Does he have any friends? What is his relationship like with his grandparents? First magical experience? Did you mean 'below-average' or 'average'? I was a little confused by that sentence. Also, five seconds is a little quick for the birth of the second baby in the birth of twins.

In Matthew's Strengths/Weaknesses, please write in complete sentences and use periods versus breaking them up with semicolons. Also, I need you to add one or two academic strengths and weaknesses too. These would be classes at Hogwarts that Matthew would take. At least one of each needs to be one of the Core Classes that he would take in his first year.

Thank you!  :biglove: After you've made the changes in your sheet, edit the subject line of your post from 'Pending' to 'Edited' and it will be looked at ASAP! =D

No, Alice's his sister IC and my colleague OOC (she's going to apply (Today I hope!))

Nop, I mean above the average student, because he has potential to be better than just above average, but he's way too lazy to do worry about that.

Awesome! That's good to know, thanks. ^^ Just a few more things and we'll have you all sorted!  :biglove:

Minutes would be more appropriate for the time between the birth of twins.  :sweatdrop:

In his 'What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why' section, I need to know specifically what Gryffindor traits your character possesses. You've named two, but one is a Hufflepuff trait. The Gryffindor traits are 'daring, bold, chivalrous, and brave.' He doesn't need to have all of them, just one or two dominant ones in his personality (one of which you've already named), specifically stated in this section, possibly with examples given. These could also be traits that will be brought out in Matthew by being in Gryffindor. ^^

Same thing goes for changing the subject line as before.  :biglove:

Right now Gryffindor is closed, but I can put you on the waiting list. If it goes over two weeks, your character will be automatically sorted into an open house.

If you don't want to be put on the Gryffindor waiting list, you can also pick one of the open houses to be sorted into. You can view what houses are open and how many spots here. If you pick another house, edit the 'What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why' section with your character's traits that would fit into that house.

If you choose to go onto the waiting list, reply to this thread and let me know you're okay with it. If you choose for your character to be sorted into another house, after you edit your sheet accordingly to say what traits from that house she has, change the subject line from 'Pending' to 'Edited' and someone will look at it ASAP!  :biglove:

I'm okay with waiting since my RP doesn't really fit Hufflepuff.
