Character Personality
General Personality [2+ PARAGRAPHS]:
Tristian takes after his great-grandfather, James Potter, in many ways. He loves playing jokes on the Slytherins and having a good time. He's dedicated to his friends, loyal to Gryffindors, and willing to sacrifice himself for the ones he loves. Tristian is naturally bright, a strong student academically. He seems to excel the most in Transfiguration, as Trist was able to master the Animagus transformation, however his favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures.
Tristian isn't all fun and jokes though. He strives to fight those in the wrong, mainly the Emerald Serpents. Since fifth year, this group has been up to something suspicious and he plans to find out what with the help of his Flying Phoenixes. Tristian wants the best for everyone in the long run and he wants the world to remain at peace.
Tristian is a player, dating another girl each week. He's the most popular boy in school, and thus the seventh year. Tristian is attractive too, and he well knows it. He may go out with other girls constantly, but he's always thinking of the one. Elise Mogel, the girl who captured his heart years ago. But, Tristian knows it would be death to even ask out Elise, as she's Kyle's younger sister. Kyle and Elise remain oblivious of his pining for her and won't find out, as Tristian made his other mates blood swear not to tell them.

General Appearance [2+ Paragraphs]:
Tristian Potter takes after his father in looks, his mother's genes not apparent except for his height. Trist stands at six feet and two inches and could possibly still be growing, though it wouldn't be much more.
Tristy has dark brown hair. Like his forefathers, it's wild and never seems to cooperate despite his efforts. When the sunlight hits, his hair tends to have a red-ish tint which was inherited by his mother. Tristian let his hair grow out long, despite protests from his mother about how it wasn't proper.
Tristian, despite once having a round boyish face, now has chiseled features. His cheekbones are the prime example of this. Tristian has dark, royal blue eyes with touches of a emerald green gracing them. He has a strong, sturdy build. Growing up, Tristian was all legs, but now the rest of him has caught up. Tristy has sturdy arms, built up from the years of Quidditch when he once longed to be a Chaser. His legs are well-defined from running in the mornings, a tradition that he has kept since third year. Tristian's fitness extends to his abdomen as well, a six pack awaiting.
Shanks dresses elegantly, always in the finest clothes of his choice. Usually, however, he dons a pair of slacks with a button down shirt. His favorite outfit seems to be his black slacks with a navy blue shirt, complimenting his eyes and hair. He's somewhat of a prep that way, but it's sort of expected growing up as a Potter. Tristian proves how he isn't a prep by the way he acts though.

History [3+ Paragraphs]:
Tristian was born July 29th in the summer's heat. The family was out at a Quidditch Match, the Isle of Lewis Raptors vs. Puddlemire United when Kaylie's water broke. James grabbed hold of Kaylie tightly and Apparated out instantly to St. Mungo's. In a frenzy, Kaylie was soon laying in a hospitable bed with nurses helping her through the birthing. Tristian's father, James Sirius Potter, along with their parents stood at the bed anxiously awaiting their first son, and grandson. Four hours after the water broke, Tristian was born at ten forty-two at night.
For four years, Tristian grew up fairly spoiled but disciplined. At two years old, Tristian showed his first signs of having magic flow through his veins. He was having one of his temper-tantrums for not getting to eat sweets before dinner and he ended up reeking havoc in the kitchen. The dinner prepared was soon smothered over all of the walls, ceiling, and floor. It was a bittersweet moment for the parents, as they did have to clean up the mess, but it had assured them that their son was no Squib. The next year, at three, James got him his first broomstick. Don't get all worried, it was a miniature. It could go no higher than ten feet. Trist was hooked immediately.
Then his sister came along. The little prat. Adeline Potter, the perfect princess in his parents eyes. His mother obsessed over the new baby girl and Tristian, only four years old, was put aside. His dear old da, despite his mum's favoriting, treated both children equally. But still, Tristian ended up having the bad end of that deal seeing how his mother spent all of her time with Adeline and his father spent only half of his time with Trist. At that time, he started befriending his cousin, Evan Kinter.
They grew up together and became close. Nothing else matter, he now had a friend. By the time he was seven, Tristian was obsessing over Quidditch with Evan. He wanted to be a Chaser, like his dad was in school. Evan knew he was destined to be a Keeper, with natural skill and ability, while Tristy struggled to master the simplest Chaser moves.
At eleven, he got his Hogwarts letter. Traveling with his dad, Evan, and his aunt they went to Diagon Alley. It was Tristian's first time visiting the large, popular shopping center and he was slightly overwhelmed before being overcome with awe. Evan and Tristian stared at the newest brooms in the Quality Quidditch Shop with admiration. They went off and got fitted for robes, rallied up the books needed for the following year, secured other school supplies. Tristian ended up getting a tawny owl,which he named Gryff. The last stop the boys made was Ollivander's where they purchased their wands before going home.
That September 1st, the Evan and Tristian boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time. They ended up sitting in an empty apartment together. Two other boys ended up sitting with them, Kyle and William. The four bonded quickly, promising to be best friends forever and to be sorted into Gryffindor together. They got their wish, all four being sorted into Gryffindor along with several other boys and a plethera of girls. There were so many Gryffindors that year, there were two first year dorms. Tristian and his new mates took one, while the remaining boys were left in the other.
In Tristian's second year he tried out for the Quidditch team as Chaser. In all honesty, he completely sucked. The current captain told him such, telling him he would never have a career as a Chaser. Not only did he not have the skills needed, he didn't have a Chaser's build either. The tall and then lanky boy had potential to be a Seeker, and the captain told him so, knowing that the current Seeker would be graduating that year.
So, Tristian went home that summer and practiced every day. The next year, he and Evan both made the team. Evan as Keeper and Tristian as Seeker. Their parents were estatic, buying both of them new brooms. Tristian got the top-of-the-art Powerspace 4000, which had just come out the following month while Evan got the Powerspace 1001. Both were thrilled. In their first match against Slytherin, Tristian caught the Snitch almost immediatly. Gryffindor only had time to score three times, while Evan blocked every shot by the Chasers of the opposing team. He was flying circuts around the middle of the pitch when the Slytherin Beaters sent a bludger toward him. The snitch had been trailing it, so it really was Slytherin's fault he caught it. All Tristian had to do was swerve out of the way and then reach out to find the Snitch in his grasp.
The matches of his Hogwarts years continued in a similar fashion, Gryffindors rarely losing with Evan and Tristian on the team. In his fifth year, Tristian was made captain of the team. With OWLs that year, he was a bit overwhelmed. The usual commotion of their pranks died down as the Flying Phoenixes studied hard. Tristian earned eleven owls.
His sixth year was uneventful for the most part. And now Tristian is about to enter his final year at Hogwarts, hoping to get to the bottom of the Emerald Serpents, win the House Quidditch Cup, and pass his ever-approaching NEWTs.
Role-Play Sample [2+ Paragraphs:
Fake it, for me. Disregard the footsteps and we'll never tell the soul Shameless, All Time Low
Bah! Scorpius said, flicking his wand so his name would appear near his door and across the hall on the adjacent wall.
"Fine, you win on that," Alrisha said. Sure, she could try to counter his charm and put her own name on the wall but it would be pointless and cause room for more bickering.
Al! Have you seen the man! I'd do him proper
"Scorpius, if I didn't know better I would think you to be gay after that statement. And he isn't ugly, I never called him that. But he's a foot taller than me and I'm more into the edgy type. You and Paris are so classy. Plus, you know Pyxis would kill me for even thinking such a thing about her boyfriend," Alrisha said logically. Paris was sort of hot, but she would never even consider dating him even if he and Pyxis didn't have a fling going on.
Don't say things like that when you don't know what you're talking about, Alrisha.
"Is my dear Slytherin Malfoy brother defending Gryffindors? Because that sure as hell sounded like it. What is wrong with you? Do you want to be caught saying that, especially here at home. Father would drive a stake through you! And Pyxis....she'd blow up in your face. You know she's right behind Grandpa and Da," Alrisha whispered harshly. Even though Scorpius was an annoyance, she didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
What I meant is. The smartest thing someone can do is learn about someone before they decide to openly judge them. It isn't becoming and it makes you look of low intelligence, which I know that you are not
"Scorp, I think you've gone insane. If your caught talking to one of them, you will be murdered before you can even say Gryffindor. It makes you look low of intelligence even talking to them knowing that we are Slytherins, elite pureblood Slytherins with Death Eater parents. You should know better than risking your head to even associate with them," Ree said, now becoming worried about her brother's fratrenizing with those Lions. That was a serious offense in this household.
She's selfish. Don't let her get to you. Hello? Are you aware that you're sisters? That alone is grounds for insatiable loathe and bickering. Your chances of bonding with her are no higher than my chances of having quality father-son time with Dad
"But Scorp, all I've ever wanted to be with Pyxis is a friend. All she's ever done is push me away. You and Altair get along well enough. At least you don't avoid him for your life like Pyx is doing with me," Risha said, despair hinted throughout her voice. Her sadness soon became anger, "Why does mum and da love her so much more than us? She's always more important to them. 'Specially with da. It's always Pyxie this Pyxie that. We're his kids too!"
