Simon Honeybourne- Denied
« on: 20 Dec 2011, 05:32 pm »
First and Last Name: Simon Mycroft Honeybourne.

Bloodline: Halfblood.
Hair Color: Brown.
Eye Color: Brown.
General Build: Average.
Height: Tall.

Birthplace: Cormwell, England.
Brief Childhood History:The reason why Simon was born in Cormwell instead of where his family had their original house in London is because this was when his parents started to lose their money  by one of the powerful men within the Ministry of Magic. The powerful man’s name was Trevor Wellington and he was yet another pureblood who set out to ruin the lives of others within the Muggle Artifacts Department. His father and his colleagues had been targeted more than once and it wasn’t till the very evening on February 9th, 1980 that both his father, Steven, received a Howler from Mr. Wellington telling him that his family was being sued. However, on a happier note the wonderful Simon was born on midnight. Simon could remember his parents telling him that the night he was born was the worst and best day of the beginning for the rest of their lives. Steven, his pureblood father, was an honest man and always believed that he did nothing wrong to this Mr. Wellington but from what Simon’s mum, Lyn, a muggleborn told him when he was around 7 years old, that this Mr. Wellington had a huge crush on her and because she turned him down and went out with Steven instead, he held a grudge since and has never given up his pursuit to eventually have Lyn.

Simon was obviously far too young to understand all of this drama so instead of trying to pick the pieces together, he simply put things in black and white. Mr. Wellington = Selfish and Dad = Honest.  This had been the start of Simon’s generosity towards others and from then on believed anything his father told him although most of the time his father’s assumptions were wrong. Simon always believed that his father was the most intelligent man on earth but in reality, Steven had a bottom of the pit job within the Muggle Artifacts Department and was really struggling when it came to competing with the other Wizards. When Simon got into the age of snooping, Simon would constantly ask his father questions about his job and because his father didn’t want to hurt him or lie to him in any way. He encouraged Simon to follow his dreams and not let anyone stop him from becoming whoever he wanted to be. Simon adored his father for that although he still assumed his family was very wealthy. Although, in all honesty, they weren’t wealthy at all, they were a middle-low class family.

Simon’s very first elementary school crush was a family friend who lived in the village right by The Honeybourne’s. His parents would always use the Floo Powder when travelling to their home so they could stop by for some tea while Simon and his crush, Rebecca, played muggle games around her family’s splendid garden. However, as they grew older, their differences began to show, Simon was just turning eleven and Rebecca was only just ten. She was very spoiled and she acted arrogantly towards Simon because she was aware that he fancied her. That was a very important day for Simon. He swore to himself that day that he would never be like Rebecca; a selfish person who wanted more although she already had everything she wanted.

When Simon received his letter to Hogwarts, he didn’t know exactly how to react. He knew that it was a good thing to be a Wizard like his father but he didn’t know how he got to being a Wizard. In a way, he felt like when you came to becoming a Wizard, it was just a hobby you had part time so you wouldn’t get distracted from school or anything. He didn’t have the slightest clue and his father couldn’t help but laugh at the poor innocent boy. “You have a lot to learn, son,” His father told him cheerfully while stroking him gently on the head. From then on, Simon got all of his necessary materials from Diagon Alley with his dad. Although, they were all secondhand books and robes, Simon couldn’t have been happier!

 [ Altered the history a bit... went a bit ahead of myself lol ]



Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):

Determined – Simon has learnt to insist for things that matter the most to him. He has never considered the idea of giving up even when his aspiration is far beyond his reach.

Kind hearted – Simon likes to give others a chance to prove themselves to him before judging them. Suppose, you could say that it’s his kind of initiation towards other people.

Happy-go-lucky – Simon has learnt that worrying about the future won’t get him anywhere in the present. So, he tries his best to take advantage of the present without a care of what’s about to happen next.

Fiercely loyal – Once someone has proven themselves to Simon, it’d be very difficult to get rid of him as a friend. He’s so loyal that he’d be willing to do anything for his friends even if it’s something bad.

A good listener – Simon always enjoyed helping others even if it meant just listening to them and not getting involved in their problem. He’ll always be that shoulder to cry on.

Potions - Although Simon isn't particularly keen on the subject, he genuinely has some kind of talent for Potions. This is due partly because he's a logical thinker and Potions requires you to think on your feet.

Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):

A Push over – Because he’s learnt to be so kind to others, Simon has brought the good and the bad friends in, unable to tell one from the other, so if they’re ever in need of his help, he’d help them unsure whether his actions are good or bad.

Cruel –His cruelty to others could almost always get the best of him whenever he’s not in the best of moods especially when others choose to be mean to him.

Spontaneous – Almost always, his spontaneity could drag him into the worst scenarios. This is because he always acts on his actions without even considering the consequences.

Timid – Simon’s shyness almost always has the best of him and because of it, he’s been restrained from meeting other peers and he hates himself for it.

Selfless – Simon is so selfless that he doesn’t even take time to analyze his own life and see what’s wrong with him and what he should do to fix it. He would much rather help others and give other people his things rather than buy things for himself.

Defence Against The Dark Arts - Simon was never very good at spell casting and this is partly due to his clumsiness so because Defence Against The Dark Arts requires a lot of spellcasting, Simon struggles with this subject.
 
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Simon would fit best in Hufflepuff house. This is because he's fiercely loyal to his friends and would do anything to make them happy... even something bad. However, because of his spontaneity and adoration to make the best out of each moment, he could also be known as a Gryffindor.

Hi and welcome to hprpg :D

Just a few things we're going to have to ask you to change before we can proceed. At 10 and 11 years old, kids don't really have 'crushes.' Not as intense as you're describing anyway, as they are just kids.  :lol: You're welcome to have Simon and Rebecca as close friends, and for tension to exist between them, but defining at as romantic is a little beyond the realm of our relationship guidelines here, and also a bit unrealistic.  :sweatdrop:

Also, if you could please format the strength and weaknesses section to read as paragraphs rather than lists, it would be appreciated~

When you've made your changes, you can switch your title from 'pending' to 'edited' and someone will come and have another look!

all my love for Tany

As it's been over two weeks since we've last asked you to make changes, I'm going to deny this character sheet for now. Please feel free to post your sheet again at a later date with the requested changes! ;)
