 Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Tall, scrawny type.  Can generally be described as "rabbity", minus the whole...buck toothed thing.
2. How old is he?
22
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Given his upbringing he generally carries himself fairly well, although he does have a tendency to lounge, mostly on furniture. 
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
While he tends to at least /look/ sickly and in poor health more often than he doesn't, he's actually fairly healthy most of the time.  He's just one of those people.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Fluid.  He's reasonably comfortable in his own skin, and is actually significantly less awkward than his general scrawny, gangly appearance would imply.  Again, it's the Pureblood thing.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Depends on your taste; if you go in for the scrawny, unconventional ones you'd probably find him reasonably attractive, but if your tastes run more towards the pretty or built probably not so much.  Personally, he finds himself neither exceptionally attractive nor exceedingly ugly.  He just is; he doesn't much care for the whole preening, showy, absurdity that is modern courtship, so he tends not to pay much attention to how he looks aside from hygiene.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Pale, and fortunately he didn't have to deal with many acne problems during his teenage years.  Theo does however have a fairly visible scar on his left cheek from a broomstick accident when he was nine; he fell into a rose bush from six feet in the air, which just so happened to be sheltering a baby chamrosh which...wasn't particularly pleased to be landed on.  He walked away with a few deep gashes and a sprained wrist, not to mention an intense dislike of flying, and is fortunate that's all he got.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Dark, fairly average as hair goes.  Generally short and on the messy side, although stylishly so.
9. What color are his eyes?
Grey-blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not really, aside from maybe the fact that he never seems to go anywhere without a book.  Just in case.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Shoulders, generally, although he tends not to get particularly tense.  Getting tense would indicate actually /caring/.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
He mostly goes for functional and comfortable, although again, Pureblood upbringing would necessitate that it's also presentable.  It's mostly neutrals and while not all the same there's a fair amount of similarity.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Again, the mores of his social class would in fact indicate his clothes need to fit well.  He doesn't necessarily get everything /tailored/, but it all at least fits him.  And he's pretty comfortable in them; he tends not to wear clothing he's not comfortable in.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Yep.  Technically he probably shouldn't, since it's a ministry job and all, but he quite frankly doesn't care.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?  ...If you're a girl, panties, thong or commando? 
Boxers.


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Middle of the road, bordering on deep-ish.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Quiet, even, and carefully enunciated.  He likes it when people can actually understand him when he mocks them horribly.  And he seldom hesitates.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Aside from British?  Nothing special, although he does tend to be more of an ass the more uncomfortable he is.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
He's completely fluent in English, and is passable in French, although he doesn't use it often.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He's pretty good on his feet, even if he doesn't actually know what he's talking about.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent.  He would need to be under quite a bit of stress to change that.


Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Very.  A little of both, being both an excellent student and a Slytherin.  For comparison, he's said to be more clever than Draco.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He thinks pretty well on his feet, although if you give him time to deliberate he thinks even better.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Logical and practical.  He doesn't have much patience for idealism, and while he's fairly intuitive he tends to rely more upon logic in most situations.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
Completed all seven years of school at Hogwarts; knowledge is power, after all.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
Potions, Ancient Runes, and Transfiguration tend to be his best areas; he's kind of weak in charms.  
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Theo generally has little patience for idiots, and won't hesitate to belittle someone if he thinks they're being one.  Overall he's apathetic towards most people and things, which makes him more even-tempered than not simply because he doesn't care enough one way or the other.  He was driven academically only because it gave him an excuse not to talk to people.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
"Calculated indifference" tends to be the best way to describe the way Theo responds to most things.  He doesn't trust easily, or make friends easily simply because he dislikes people in general and can't be bothered.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act.  If he feels like it.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Fight if he needs to, remain neutral if he can.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
He has a very dry sense of humour, leaning towards the morbid.  If it's clever he can appreciate it, but anything slapstick or base (including bathroom humour and pranks) he's more likely to sneer at than laugh about.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
I'm sure you could go through a variety of disorders he might have based on personality, but nothing diagnosed.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
His mother's death.  His father's being sentenced to life in Azkaban.
14. What does he fear?
Dementors.  Mostly because when the Ministry came to take his father away he was overcome with a sudden fear that they would take him too simply for being his son.  It's irrational, he knows this, which is why it's something which he will take to his grave.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
He has none, really.  Not right now, anyway.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
That he was almost (almost) tempted to throw in with Draco's lot during his first year at Hogwarts.  It seemed nice, being surrounded by so many adoring classmates.  ...But then he realised that half of them secretly hated Malfoy behind his back, and three quarters of them were only his friend because of who he was, much like most of the people who wanted to be friends with Harry Potter.  He was disgusted by the whole thing, and vowed from that day on to stay out of it because he wanted no part of it.

It took him three years before he stopped hating Malfoy himself, and only because he realised Malfoy found the whole thing just as asinine as he did.  They've been almost-friends ever since.


Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Virtually nonexistant.  His mother died when he was very young, so he didn't get to know her very well, and his father, while fairly good to him for most of his childhood (he was there, at least, and taught him valuable lessons such as to think for himself and never go with the crowd simply because it's popular opinion), is essentially deceased as well.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
No
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
No; he has an aunt who stepped in once his father was sent to Azkaban, but they don't get on well, mostly because she's exactly the /opposite/ of his father.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
No
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
The closest to a best friend (or even any kind of friend, really) would be Draco.  They've known each other for a long time, seeing as how their fathers worked together, and met as children, although Theo never really liked him much until much later.
6. Does he have other close friends?
No
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
Theo has a very difficult time making friends mostly because he's very picky about people he wants to be around and tends to be difficult to get along with.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
As long as they're important to you, he figures it doesn't matter.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single.  And no.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
No.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
...Yeah, he's not sharing.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Brains, mostly.  Although looks don't hurt.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Nooooo, hells no, n/a and not any time in the near future.  If ever.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Not really, no.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
Straight.  Anywhere from X to 2 depending on his mood.
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
It's there.  He finds the concept useful, and enjoyable, but it's not super critical to him.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Mostly mental; he likes his partners to actually have something between their ears and be able to hold their own against him.  He's into mindgames.


Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Taurus.  Not very; he tends to prefer when things are on an even keel and likes being in control (which is Taurus-like), but he tends to avoid doing the "popular" thing just because it's the status quo (which isn't Taurus-like).  Although he does keep to his own social class for the most part (which is Taurus-like).
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Neither.  He's never taken much stock in it and would much rather think that he has control over his own destiny rather than belive it's up to someone whose existence he has to take on blind faith.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Yes, but it's very self-centred.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) it would take a lot for him to compromise his beliefs.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Indifferent, mostly.  He tends to believe they're wrong, of course, but he doesn't care enough to actually /do/ anything about it; what people believe is their own business, really, and who is he to pass judgement or demand they rethink it?
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
The usual Pureblood ones; Purebloods are inherently superiour, Mudbloods and Muggles are inherently lesser.  Although he holds them more as a matter of course and breeding than because he truly /believes/ them.


Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Quite comfortable.  Not /exceedingly/ well off, his family is nowhere near as wealthy as the Malfoys, for example, however his father managed to store up quite a tidy sum which Theo has been rather judicious in spending, and Ministry jobs tend to pay rather well.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
He's a Pureblood, and works for the Ministry to boot, and as such enjoys reasonably high social status.  His father's career as a Death Eater has of course done something to tarnish the name, however since he tends to distance himself from that particular aspect it hasn't done anywhere near as much damage as it could have.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
Currently he lives on his father's estate, which is somewhere around London.  Ish.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Books.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
He works for the Ministry in the Office of Misinformation.  He doesn't /enjoy/ it exactly, but he does take a distinct pleasure out of being paid absurd amounts of money to lie to muggles about things they saw with their own eyes.  He's quite good at it, too.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Reading, mostly.  Anything and everything.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He has a tendency to skip meals when he's involved in something, but generally he remembers to eat when he's supposed to.  He'll drink, but usually only in the presence of company, and he tries to avoid Bertie Botts like the plague.  It's entirely too much effort to try to sort out only the good ones, and more often than not vomit tends to find its way into the mix regardless of how much you think you've avoided it.


Associations
Which of the following do you associate with the character, or which is his favorite:

1. Color? Grey.
2. Smell? Musty books.
3. Time of day? Dusk.
4. Season? Fall.
5. Book? Catch-22 (he just loves the concept - it's very true to life.  even if it /is/ a Muggle book)
6. Music? Anything instrumental.
7. Place? A nook in his father's library.  It's quiet, has a great view of the forest next to the property, and best of all can't be seen from the door so he can pretend he isn't there.
8. Substance? Quicksilver.
9. Plant? Belladonna.  Medicinal in small doses, yet deadly poisonous if you take even /slightly/ too much.  The paradox about kills him.
10. Animal?  Gryphon

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Luna's... pretty average, to say the least. Not terribly thin, not fat, either. Same goes for height.
2. How old is she?
21
3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
She carries herself well. Luna's got quite a bit of self-confidence, so she doesn't really have a reason to slouch or anything.
4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
She's pretty fit, I guess. No physical disabilities. And no, she doesn't have any mental problems, either. At least not clinically diagnosed. She's just... odd. If you wanted to sit down with a list of every mental disorder known to man, though, you'd probably find something that fits her...
5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
She almost floats when she walks... Very fluid and graceful.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive himself in the mirror?
She's quite attractive physically. Lots of people find her quite beautiful, almost ethereal... And then they get to know her. Again, she has very high self-confidence, but she's in no way self-centered or egotistical.
7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Luna has very pale, clear skin.
8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is very light blonde and somewhere between wavy and curly. She likes to keep it long, but it's never in her face or anything.
9. What color are her eyes?
Her eyes are blueish-greenish.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
She wears a necklace of butterbeer corks (to keep away the nargles), dirigible plum earrings (to enhance the ability to accept the extraordinary), and keeps her wand tucked behind her left ear for safekeeping. As far as physical features go, she doesn't blink as often as normal people and her eyes are quite a bit wider, so she looks either more alert or just completely insane, depending on your perspective.
11. What are her chief tension centers?
Tension centers? She doesn't tend to get stressed out very much, so she's never really felt the physical effects that stress brings with it...
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Oh, Luna's wardrobe... Where to begin? Nothing matches. End of story. Her clothes are a weird mishmash of anything and everything.
13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
She's very comfortable in her clothes. She's not one for fashion trends, her wardrobe is based more off of comfort and practicality.
14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
Luna's pretty much self-employed, so yes, she dresses the same at work as she does any other time.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
...Um, briefs.


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Her voice is distant, dreamy, and airy. Always.
2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
She speaks slowly and softly, with lots of pauses between statements.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Her accent is more Irish than British, but it's not /terribly/ noticable unless you're looking for it.
4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
Fluent English and near fluent Mermish, Gobbledegook, and Runes.
5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Not unlessy totally necessary... As the editor in chief/sole reporter of The Quibbler, sometimes it's necessary to switch languages for an interview or something... And when she doesn't want someone to understand what she's saying, which isn't very often.
6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
Luna's not one to think before she speaks, really... She says what's on her mind.
7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
She's somewhere right in the middle. There are certain topics she could go on and on about forever and not have to explain anything, and then there are topics that make it so when she speaks about them she can never quite seem to get her words together.


Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
She's more book-smart than street-smart... She was a Ravenclaw, so obviously there's a distinct level of intelligence there, but her views on intelligence focus more on capability to believe in what's 'real'... Things that you can't necessarily see. If you can believe in those things, then you're smart in her opinion.
2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
thinks on her feet, definitely.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Ooh, tough one. She's logical, she was a Ravenclaw. But she's also intuitive and quick to believe in things you can't necessarily prove. Intuitive, also... Practicality would mean that she'd have to accept that half the things she's believed in her whole life would just disappear.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
She completed six years at Hogwarts and would have gone back for her seventh had the school not been completely destroyed... Yes, it opened back up for the people who wanted to finish their education, but she didn't take advantage of this, opting to go take care of her severely unhinged father.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
Luna knows quite a bit about the things most people don't know/care about. She's interested in learning everything she can, as long as it doesn't contradict anything she believes in... So, if it has anything to do with the complete unlikelihood of nargles' existance, she doesn't want to hear about it.
6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
A bit of both, really. It depends on the people she's with.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
She's pretty even-tempered... Cheerful in a dreamy, distant way, and very laid-back. Most people would say she only has one emotion.
8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Luna's definitely not afraid to be herself, and people make their judgments about her very quickly. You either love her or you hate her.
9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Hmm... Depends on the situation, I guess.
10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Fight if it's for a good cause, flight if it's just an argument or disagreement.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Luna doesn't tend to get very many jokes, she tends to take things quite seriously. Her sense of humor is... almost non-existant, to say the least.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
Diagnosable? Nope. Well, at least none that have actually /been/ diagnosed.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
Her mother's death, the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the battle of Hogwarts, etc.
14. What does she fear?
She doesn't really /fear/ anything. Of course, there are things that make her nervous or uncomfortable, but she's got a bit too much on her mind to fear.
15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
She doesn't really have any specific plans for what she wants to do with her life. A few goals here and there, but mostly she just lets things take their course.
16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
Luna doesn't tend to hide anything from people. Once you gain her trust (not a difficult feat), she'll tell you almost anything you want to know about her.


Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Her mother died when she was nine, and she and her dad are very close. That's about all that can be said about them.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Luna's an only chid.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
Her father's really the only family she's got...
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Neville, and Ron are all like siblings to Luna, since they've been through so much together.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Luna's best friend is Harry, though he doesn't necessarily feel the same way. They met on The Hogwarts Express, just before Luna's fourth year.
6. Does she have other close friends?
Ginny and Luna are fairly close, since they're in the same year and both share Harry, Ron, and Hermione as mutual friends.
7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
Luna's willing to be friends with almost anyone, the question is more of if they're willing to give her a chance.
8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Family, since she considers her friends as part of her family.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Luna is single.
10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
No.
11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
She hasn't really had a crush on anyone, and even if she did, she /probably/ wouldn't tell you...
12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
Someone who understands her and shares the same beliefs. For instance, someone who won't accept the existance of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack probably wouldn't do too well in a relationship with Luna.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
She had no children or grandchildren at the moment. She wouldn't mind having children, since she would like to have someone she could have an influence on, like how her father had such a powerful influence on her life.
14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
Luna's not one to make enemies. There are people she doesn't like, but not really enemies.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
She's straight, but since she's never actually had romantic feelings for anyone, it could go either way. And she's a 3.
16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
Sex is the last thing on her mind, if it even crosses her mind at all.
17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
N/A for now.


Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
Her birthday is never specified.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
She's spiritual to some extent... But more just believing in things you can't prove...
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Morals and ethics... She just uses her sense of right and wrong, really...
4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
That depends. If you tell her that Snorkacks are not real, she'll voice her opinion.
5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
Prejudices? None. Unless you're a Death Eater, in which case she won't like you. With good reason, too.


Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Luna's pretty comfortable. She makes a decent amount of money, since the popularity of The Quibbler has gone up since the war.
2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Luna's social status... Well, to put it frankly, the Lovegoods aren't looked upon too kindly by most of society. They're too... weird. But they're very popular among fans of The Quibbler. So she's just right in the middle.
3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
She lives in the same house she grew up in, a little cottage-type house near a creek in Ottery St. Catchpoole. She shares it with her father at the moment.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend his money on?
Amulets and charms to keep away nargles and such, and the occasional plane ticket to Sweden (That's where Snorkacks supposedly live)
5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
Luna is the editor in chief and sole reporter for The Quibbler, since her father is now actually really old and can't run the magazing anymore. She loves it and can't imagine having any other job.
6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend his free time?
She's a naturalist at heart. Loves looking for animals and plants, basically, anything outdoors.
7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
She eats whatever her dad cooks, pretty much... Occassionally she'll go out to eat with a group of friends or something, and sometimes she'll cook.

1. Color? purple
2. Smell? freshly cut grass
3. Time of day? midnght
4. Season? spring
5. Book? Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them
6. Music? classical
7. Place? Sweden

 Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Slightly taller than average, rather lean.  

2. How old is he?
22

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He was brought up essentially as nobility, he carries himself as such for the most part.  Not *quite* as regal as his father, but that's due in part to his youth.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Fit, and in good health.  He plays professional Quidditch, and thus likes to keep himself rather on the healthy side.  No physical disabilities, unless you count extremely fair skin as such.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Sort of a graceful haughtiness, if that makes sense.  He moves with a sort of confidence that reflects his high status (or the high status he believes he has, depending on whose perspective he's being viewed from.)

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Rather.  He inherited his mother's good looks, with a hint of his father's sterner appearance.  So you could say that yes, he's on the side of attractive.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Light.  Fair.  However you like to put it.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
White-blonde, well kept.  Generally stays at a manageable length, somewhere between fashionably shaggy and clean-cut.

9. What color are his eyes?
Grey.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Physical features?  None, really.  Unless you're counting tattoos, in which case I should likely mention the skull and snake on his left forearm.  He has vowed never to have his skin marked again.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
Shoulders.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Surprisingly rather varied.  He has his fair share of more casual attire, but when being seen in public he prefers a classier style.  Mostly dark colours, he's not so much a fan of brights.  

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Quite well.  And if they don't, he has them tailored before he is forced to wear ill-fitting clothes in public.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Ooh no.  Draco would not be caught dead wearing his Quidditch robes in his spare time.  

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers or commando, depending on mood.



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Rather middle of the road.  It wouldn't be properly classified as high or low pitched, just possibly sometimes with a tendency towards whining.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He's a fast talker, a smooth talker, and an easy talker.  Almost no hesitation, ever.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
He's got an English accent.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
English, with complete fluency; some Latin (at his mother's request.)

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Not generally.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He's quite quick on his feet with words.  Even if he's not sure of what he's saying, he'll make it sound like he is.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
On the whole, quite eloquent.  If presented with a situation of intimidation, or something entirely outside of his control, he starts to fumble.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Both book-smart and street-smart (more now than he was before) and quite capable in both regards.  (I've read in various places that he was second only to Hermione in lessons; that's a stretch, but he is quite clever.)

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
When given the choice, he'd prefer to plan at least a little before taking action.  However he's become accustomed to rolling with the punches.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Intuitive, definitely.  And if I were forced to choose I'd say practical, though he can be idealistic at times.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
Full NEWT qualifications.  (Yes, even after the war.  Hogwarts was reopened so the students who so chose could continue their education; Draco so chose.)

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
For starters, by now he's rather proficient in the Dark Arts.  He lived in the company of high ranking Death Eaters for nearly three years and he was one himself, you could say that's an area of expertise of his.  His strongest suit scholastically would be Potions, and the one area he wishes he were more capable in is Transfiguration.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Extrovert.  Quite the extrovert.  However he is prone to spells of introvertedness. (see next.)

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Draco's one of the moodiest people on this earth.  From one moment to the next he can be perfectly charming to entirely irritable, all depending on how the conversation goes.  He tends to seem more displeased than he may actually be, on the whole.  

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Inwardly suspicious, outwardly curious, behaviourally a mix between elitist and friendly.  If that's possible/understandable.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
These days, act.  

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Flight.  Unless something he cares about is threatened.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
He's a very dry sense of humor; he'll more often appreciate a slyly worded comment at the expense of someone or something than he would an outwardly funny remark.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
He could probably be diagnosed with a variety of mood disorders if you set him down long enough to talk about them.  But he hasn't been.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
Too many to accurately list.  Most of his behavioural tics have been defined by how he was treated as a child; his worldview is now heavily influenced by how things played out in his last years at school.  (Which I'm not going to rehash, since we all know how it all turned out.)

14. What does he fear?
Complete societal rejection, failure, not being able to live up to his family's name and reputation.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
Live up to his family's expectations of him, mostly.  He hasn't gotten much farther past that right now, he's still young.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
..that in his sixth year, when he and Blaise and Pansy were discussing the Slug Club and Ginny was mentioned, he thought for a split second about tapping that.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Ha.  He gets on quite well with his mum; she's your typical overbearing, coddling sort of mother who is terrified to see her only son leave the safety of her home and go off into the world.  Oddly enough, this is a basis for a good relationship in the Malfoy home.  Draco's father, on the other hand, is quite the emotional abuser- in his youth, Draco was constantly made to feel insignificant by his father, other times entirely neglected.  This is rather a paternal tradition for the Malfoy line, and Draco will likely pass it on to his eventual offspring.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
None.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
His closest blood relative is Bellatrix Lestrange, his mother's sister.  The two get along quite well, and she has a tendency to spoil him when she probably shouldn't.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
None.  Draco's not one for forming bonds outside his tight-knit group.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
If you could classify him as such: Theodore Nott.  They met through their parents (Nott's father was a Death Eater alongside Lucius, these things are inevitable) and though Nott always strayed away from joining Draco's gang of Slytherins in school, and later the Death Eaters, Theo has remained as the one person Draco's age for whom he holds any sort of respect.

6. Does he have other close friends?
I wouldn't call them such.  He gets on well enough with his Quidditch teammates, and does still keep in touch with Blaise, but none of them are particularly close relationships.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
Being as he's irritable and untrusting, he tends not to befriend people easily.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Family.  It's something that's been drilled in to him since he was quite young, that your family is of the utmost importance.  He would not be above sacrificing friends to save family members.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Draco is currently single, and quite content to stay that way until such time as he can find a pureblooded witch who doesn't sicken him to settle down with.  (No.  He's not picky.)

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
No.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
First crush: Daphne Greengrass (it was short lived.)  I would list latest, but Draco has decided he's too old for crushes and won't share the information.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Blood purity, first and foremost.  This is rather a dealbreaker.  Other than that she'd just have to be at least marginally attractive, not entirely unfortunate to deal with, and rather tolerant of his moodiness.  And wealthy beyond belief.  

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
No; no.  Non applicable.  And he's not sure yet what his stance on childbearing is.  Currently the thought rather terrifies him; check back again sometime later.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Harry Potter.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
He likes girls.  And has never felt any inclination towards guys.

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
You could say he's a fan.  And its not *the* most important thing in his life, but it plays a pretty big role.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
..he's glaring at me as I try to answer this.  So I'll be avoiding it.



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Gemini.  If I knew the traits offhand I'd tell you if he fit; I do know that he's rather in line with the starcharts from the day he was born, however.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Neither.  He's rather of the idea that your end is what you make it to be, and a big man in the sky has nothing at all to do with it.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Contrary to the belief of many, YES, he has a personal code of ethics.  It came to be when he decided that living by the ethics set up for him by other people wasn't working out so well.  Though its still rather the same code, he just feels better now that he can call it his own.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
He tosses them out the window without a second thought, mostly.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
The age-old Malfoy family prejudice towards Mudbloods and blood traitors and halfbloods, for starters.  His own personal prejudices are mostly towards those who scorned his family after the war.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Filthy stinkin' rich.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
He can't be classified as a socialite.  But he enjoys his family's near-nobility status (even if it isn't quite what it used to be) as well as that of a Quidditch player.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
The Manor.  Lucius has been in Azkaban since the Second War; Narcissa, unwilling to keep living in the Manor as usual without Lucius, is staying with family until his release.  As such, the Manor is his for the time being.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Books.  Little known fact, Draco's an avid reader.

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
He plays Seeker for the Falmouth Falcons.  And he's quite good at it, as well as enjoying it quite a bit.  (C'mon, international Quidditch player?  Who in their right mind wouldn't enjoy that.)

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
The aforementioned Quidditch and reading, spending time with the people he vaguely calls friends, relentlessly grating on people's nerves, etc.  He's a surprisingly easygoing person.

7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He's been known to habitually skip either lunch or breakfast, again depending on mood.  He keeps a rather even balance between eating out and eating in; probably with a heavier weight towards eating in.  And he drinks.  Like a fish.  Smokes as well, but that wasn't asked.



Associations
Which of the following do you associate with the character, or which is his favorite:

1. Color? Muted greens, grey.
2. Smell? petrol and ozone.
3. Time of day? early evening.
4. Season? The very middle of fall, when the leaves start to crunch properly.
5. Book? (play): Richard III
6. Music? He's quite fond of Muggle rock, though he won't admit it.
7. Place? Aside from his library?  A cottage he bought a few years back in Scotland.
8. Substance? I feel bad listing an alcohol here.  But the answer's absolutely gin.  Tonic optional.
9. Plant? He's not large on plants.
10. Animal? His ever loyal Crup, Brutus.  (I know.  I love the name as well.)  Though for reference, his Patronus is a Dragon.  No surprise there.

 Hello again.  I see we've all been hella active since I last posted.  <insert sarcasm here>  Either way.  Before all...three of us really get going, I'd like all you ladies and germs to fill out this handy character survey, as located below.  It's supposed to be a little fun, a little informative...so try not to get too daunted by how INSANELY LONG it is.  It's basically just a bunch of questions about what your character's like; what they look like, how they see themselves, how others see them, general demeanor, fun little quirks, how they're likely to react in a variety of situations...You know.  Things that you might need to know ahead of time to RP, so most of it really shouldn't be anything you haven't already considered.  

( Collapse )

So just fill it out, and post it when you're done.  Thanks!  Nott out.

Just some quick housekeeping-type stuff and I'll be out of your hair and you can all play.

Hello and welcome to the comm.  This one's for all In Character interactions (IC?  See?).  I really don't want to see any OoC stuff over here, that's what potterwatch_ooc  is for.  Any unrelated conversations, plot discussions, random rants about the movies, etc?  All that stuff goes over there, this is just for the plots themselves.  All the rules from the Potterwatch Hub (found here) apply, so...if you're confused at all, just head on over there to double-check, I really don't feel like rehashing.

Oh.  One point I /will/ make.  ...Alright, a few.  If it's a longish post, we're talking over a paragraph or two, please please /please/ put it under a cut.  Mature content too.  Nobody really wants to look at your smut or whatever without a little advance warning, I'm sorry.  If you're not sure how to make one, let me know in a PM and I'll talk you through it; it's not that hard, I promise.  Other thing is tags.  I think I'll try to manage that one on my own, but you know.  Just tagging who's involved, a one-word summary of what's going on...it's helpful when you want to find stuff later.  Last thing, I /promise/, is formatting.  Generally as long as you give a brief summary (again, a word or two, nothing major) and who it's for in the subject heading you should be good, just so everyone knows who's expected to reply.

That's all I've got for you ladies and germs, so...have at it!
