Player Information
Name: Kim
Age(must be 18+): 18
IM screen names: brownielav
Email: hermyjean@gmail.com
Where did you hear about us?: Originally from Alpha and Kimberly
Why did you apply to Tempus Fugit, and what do you feel you can bring to the game?: I am applying to Tempus Fugit because it is a growing game that I feel will last a long time. The players are committed to their characters and to developing story lines. I feel that I can bring a new point of view to the game with the addition of a female Slytherin character. This could add more drama and new plots.
Previous RP experience: I have played for a few years. I most recently have been in FI as Lavender Brown and am playing for Tempus Fugit as Hermione Granger.
Character Information
Name of character you are applying for: Astoria Venita Greengrass
Age of character you are applying for(physical age, if one of the resurrected): 19
Birthday: 26 November, 1982
PB: Taylor Momsen
Wand: Cherry, 9.5 inches, stiff and unyielding.
House at Hogwarts: Slytherin
Family
Parents: Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass to the wizarding world, mum and dad to Astoria.
Siblings: Astoria has one older sibling, Daphne.
Family interactions (how does your character get along with his/her family members?): Astoria is the second child born to the Greengrass family. She was always compared to Daphne, her seemingly perfect older sister and came to resent it later on. She never blamed Daphne, however, who really wasn’t at fault.
Astoria and Daphne grew up together but at the same time, apart. They both had different missions in life. Daphne was supposed to represent the family as an intelligent, mature young woman while Astoria was to be in the background until her purpose in life showed up, which it never seemed to do. Daphne was always Astoria’s protector. Whenever Astoria screwed up or felt awful about a situation, Daphne was there to pick up the pieces, and still is.
As for Astoria and her parents, Astoria is always polite with them and can’t deny that she loves them, but they always manage to annoy her in some way. This seems to be the case during family dinners when Daphne is praised for her successes and Astoria is looked over. She can’t help who she is and sometimes this feeling strains her relationship with her parents, but she often hides it.
Occupation: Astoria is not currently employed. She very recently passed her N.E.W.T.s and is biding her time until something interests her.
Residence: A flat in Hogsmeade.
Financial status: Plentiful. Her parents give her a monthly allowance that pays for rent, clothing, food and often alcohol.
Political views: Astoria is not particularly sure where her loyalties lie. She does believe in pureblood supremacy but never supported Voldemort or his followers. However, she never supported Potter and his vapid friends either. She is indifferent toward the current Minister of Magic. If the attacks on the wizarding world have ended, then he’s all right by her. The idea of integrating muggles into their world makes her sick, though. It is not right by any means and Astoria hopes that it is merely a ploy conjured by the Ministry to garner support and will not come to fruition.
Blood Status: Pureblood, nothing less.
Sexuality (Please note, if you are playing a pureblood character who is also gay/bisexual, there are guidelines): Astoria is heterosexual in the worst way. She toyed with many boys in her year at Hogwarts but never actually committed to any of them. Astoria couldn’t help it if they were practically begging her to snog them. She has never felt love and never intends to.
Physical description
Height: 5’6
Weight: 130 lbs
Distinguishing marks: Astoria has small, plump lips and a plain bone structure. Her eyes are the one feature she is proud of. They are slightly hooded, often giving off a sexual allure that Astoria uses to her advantage.
Give us a description of your character's appearance: With long hair that is platinum blonde, Astoria is not what one would call pretty, but gorgeous. She has a slender body, an ample chest, and her bone structure is average. Astoria may look like the girl next door, but she’s not. She loves to wear heavy eyeliner and clothing that most parents would not approve of.
Give us a description of your character's personality (for example, are they a confident person? Do they speak their mind? What are their flaws and good points? We want to know that you have a good understanding of your character, so feel free to use examples and make it as in depth as possible): Astoria Greengrass is a wanderer. As a child, she was never given a direction in life like her older sister was. Therefore, Astoria has trouble committing to things and making permanent decisions. She has never been in a relationship, her only true friend is Daphne, and she has no clue what she wants out of life. To Astoria, life is a big adventure waiting to be explored. Currently, that includes different types of whiskeys.
Having always been in Daphne’s shadow, one would think Astoria would resent her sister. On the contrary, Astoria never blamed Daphne for being better, smarter, and the first to try anything. She instead shifted the blame on her parents who had no problem stating their opinions on Astoria’s lack of manners and ambition. Astoria did always feel the need to prove herself to her parents, though, and once tried studying for exams. Her grades only rose by a marginal percentage and studying cut into her snogging time, so Astoria dropped that particular idea as soon as she could. To gain attention, Astoria instead resorted to getting into trouble. She would sneak liquor into the Slytherin common room, or clog the girls’ toilets, or her favorite, set someone’s robes on fire during dinner with a simple flick of her wand underneath the table. After the war and the destruction of Hogwarts, her antics took a break and Astoria hasn’t felt a desire to pick them back up again.
Astoria is not book smart but she is quick tongued and knows how to manipulate a situation to her advantage. She has people smarts despite the fact that she was never fond of people. Astoria is able to adapt to a situation and hence hide her feelings rather easily. Whenever her parents would rip apart her poor marks, she would adopt a bored expression when really she felt terrible.
History
Please give us a brief history of what happened to your character past canon to bring them to this point. if playing an OC, please give a much longer history to show how your character fits into this world. Astoria Greengrass grew up believing in everything her parents dictated to her: purebloods are superior, girls are nothing less than demure, and the Greengrasses are a prominent family. Astoria still believes in pureblood supremacy and it is a fact that the Greengrass family has a strong bloodline, but she no longer believes that girls are meant to be demure.
Seeing Daphne grow up to be everything her parents wanted in a daughter, Astoria felt the need to rebel. She didn’t want to be an exact replica of her older sister, no matter how much Astoria loved her. Therefore, when she went to Hogwarts, she really didn’t care about getting good grades or following rules. She wanted to be different.
Hogwarts was a roller coaster ride. As Astoria was two years younger than the Potter generation, she never felt the fear of Voldemort as strongly but managed to cause some chaos herself. She had heard tales of the Weasley twins and their pranks and despite the fact that she loathed Gryffindors, Astoria sort of looked up to them. Many of her pranks involved WWW products.
Life seemed to become more of a reality and less fun when the war came about. Astoria realized that her pranks were rather juvenile.
After the war, Astoria went to live with her parents for a while until she was able to continue her studies. It took her two and a half years but she finally managed to study a bit and pass her N.E.W.T.s. She found a flat in Hogsmeade and bought it with her parents’ money as soon as they gave her permission to move out of the house. She has been living there ever since.
During the day, Astoria mostly goes shopping. She likes to spend her parents’ money as often as possible. During the night, Astoria goes from one bar to the next, meeting new people and shagging new guys. She does not care much about her reputation because she has nobody to defend it to, except maybe Daphne.
Resurrected Characters (please ignore if not applicable to your character)
If you are applying for someone who is still alive at the end of the series, and would like them to be considered for death and resurrection, please explain why:
If your character is one of the resurrected, what is their last memory and why have they returned at their particular age?:
Each person who returns from the dead using the magic of the resurrection stone must have a reason to come back. Not only would the character want to return, they must be needed by someone for something. Why have they been brought back? Who wanted them to return? Why?
Plotting
What short and long term goals do you have for your character?:
I would like to test Astoria’s need to be in control and perhaps find her a job. I want her to also connect with some of the resurrected characters and perhaps reunite with some fellow Slytherins.
How does your character feel about the post-war world? (The Wizarding Community becoming more open to muggles, captured Death Eaters receiving the kiss, or being stripped of their wealth and property for lesser offences): As stated earlier, Astoria cannot bear the thought of muggles being integrated into the wizarding community. The wizarding community is for wizards only. Would muggles or wizards benefit from this change? Not at all. As for Death Eaters receiving the kiss, Astoria is vehemently opposed. She is familiar with the families of the Death Eaters and even if she never approved of Voldemort’s following, it is quite painful to watch wives and children be deprived of a family member. Considering Astoria’s only source of income is from her parents, she certainly hopes they are not stripped of their wealth or property. Of course, they were never directly involved in Death Eater activity so Astoria need not worry.
Now that we are familiar with your characterization, please provide us with role playing sample so that we can get an idea of your writing style.
Be sure to write in the third person, and provide us with a new sample relevant to the game.
Writing Sample
Astoria wrinkled her nose as she entered the Leaky Cauldron. Normally she frequented higher end bars with a dance floor and some techno playing in the background, but tonight she just wanted a drink.
Her mother had been on her case about not having a job, again. Astoria hated it when her parents pressured her to do something she clearly had no intention of doing. This often led to a bottle of vodka, sex with a strange man and no change in her habits whatsoever.
The barstools were old and the one Astoria chose to sit on was a bit rickety. She made a face when she felt something sticky on the countertop. Fortunately, there was an unreasonably handsome man seated next to her and he was eyeing her.
“Hi,” she said, flashing a flirtatious smile. With some luck, this guy would be drunk enough to go home with her where she would let out all of her frustrations by sleeping with him. Daphne would be shaking her head if she knew, Astoria thought, smirking to herself.
