[Roderick Richards]

First and Last Name: Roderick Richards
Bloodline: Pureblood
Hair Color: Dark Blond
Eye Color: Green
General Build: Average
Height: Tall
Birthplace: Goddricks Hollow
Brief Childhood History: Growing up in a rather wealthy family it was rather strange that Roderick was not more spoiled. His family Home was a large estate passed down through his family  for generations. Even though being purebloods  his parents did not exactly hate muggles, but theta certainly was a superiority to them. Not having got much attention from his parents Roderick was uses to being on his own. The youngest of three brothers he was Therefore the quietest but also the most brilliant.

Agon, Stegon and Farom, his brothers, were always certain to make his life as miserable as possible. Sometimes they would hit him for the fun of it. This changed as soon as Roderick's talents for magical theory soon became apparent as he once, while having stolen his father's wand, scared his elder brothers terribly. Since then, when Roderick was 8 his brothers, each in the third year, triplets, feared him. His parents; Selvina and Goreg Richards had since then shown a slightly mounting interest in their son. Roderick liked this.

His mother worked with the monastery in the department of law-enforcement along with his father.
Strengths: Curses, Transfiguration. Confidence had always been the boy's greatest attribute. In the face of danger, such as his brothers, Roderick had since acquiring dominion over his brothers decided to never be humiliated again, for he knew he was powerfull.  Transfiguring animals and even his brothers he had acquired some skills, the same went with curses.
Weaknesses: Charms, Potions. Arrogance, Lack of Patience, those those were his greatest weaknesses. Both weaknesses were founded also in the dominion he had over his brothers, not being used to be left to wait, thinking himself superior. Dismissing charms for lesser magic and not having the patience for potions these had became his least favorite subjects as well as his worst.
House I think I fit in and why: Slytherin, because of the arrogant, superior demeanor shared by most of the house. The value of blood and the intelligence of valuing your own skin over any others. There is also the long line of Slytherins in his family.

Hi and welcome to hprpg!

There's just a few things we're going to have to ask you to edit before we can carry on with the sorting.

We'd like to get to know Roderick a little better, so could you please give us some more information in the History section? A good two paragraphs worth should do it. Tell us about his parents and brothers, and the things he liked to do as a child... details like that.

Also, please write a paragraph each about his strengths and weaknesses, rather than a list. You can take a look at some of the other approved character sheets to get an idea of what we're looking for.

And lastly, bloodline alone wouldn't put a child in Slytherin house.  They have to possess traits such as cunning and ambition. So please also edit that section, and explain what traits Roderick possesses that would put him there.

When you're done making your edits, switch your subject line from 'pending' to 'edited' and someone will be along to have another look.

Just a few more little things 

Underage (meaning under 17 years old) witches and wizards are not allowed to practice magic outside of school. Since Roderick is only 11 and is just starting at Hogwarts, he hasn't had any experience with actual spell casting yet. So if you could please rephrase the part about Roderick's talent for spell casting, it would be appreciated~

Also, please go back and spell check and grammar check. You've made a few errors that make the sheet a bit hard to read.

Once you've made your edits, you can switch your title to Edited again

Could I answer anything that you find hard to understand in a free post? I am writing on my cellphone, a feat proving immensely cumbersome while editing text:S

[Sue]

If you hit the spell check button before you post, you should be all right.

And also, I need you to remove the references to child abuse, since this is a family friendly environment and we try to steer clear of bringing attention to those sort of uncomfortable topics.

[Roderick Richards]

There we go. I hope that might prove to be satisfactory:)

Heya Roderick and thank you for clearing that up!

Unfortunately, Slytherin is currently closed, so I'm going to go ahead and pop Roderick on the waiting list. If, at any time during your wait, you feel you can see him in another house feel free to edit accordingly and poke us here. <3

[Roderick Richards]

Thank you very much I shall consider another but how fast do the houses usually open up anew?

[Sue]

Usually it doesn't take very long, but it depends on people registering and getting sorted into the other houses. There's really no way to predict exact length of time.
