Hey friends! I'm Emily, and Bill Weasley is here to enchant .

BOOM, SUCH ENCHANTING.

Bill is the eldest child of the Weasley horde, a former Gryffindor, married to Fleur, and currently the Deputy Head of International Cursebreaking with Gringotts (so fancy). He's a laid back sort of guy (fatherhood hasn't changed that), and he's generally friendly-- except for certain times in the lunar cycle. He's suffered more effects from being attacked by Fenrir Greyback than anybody aside from Fleur (and probably Charlie) really knows about, but he's determined to deal with it on his own. He loves his family more than life itself, but he's also still working on finding a proper balance between his girls and an advancing career.

For plotting purposes:
• Weasleys! Throw anything and everything Bill's way. He's always been an attentive, nonjudgmental listener, and making sure that his siblings are healthy and happy is very important to him.
• Co-workers and colleagues! Cursebreakers are bound to have encountered him at work at some point, and he's known to show his face around the Ministry/Dept. of International Magical Cooperation for meetings. He loves talking about the time he spend working with Egypt, and would be happy to take a cursebreaker with similar interests under his wing.
• Order members! Bill's pretty private about his feelings regarding things that happened in the war, but there are just some things that he's not comfortable sharing with family. It'd be great to have long-term friends who can share experiences with him.
• Any other idea you can toss at him!

Bill's information is here. You can email me at coffeebeandream [at] gmail [dot] com or find me on AIM at coffeebeandream. I'm really looking forward to playing here!

Hey! Jaime here, I wrote you briefly - here's my quick links to my character bios. Now for my people:

Percy: Doesn't know Bill at all ;) It seems he actually beat Bill & Fleur to the 'achievement' of "parent of first Weasley grandchild" - Percy has been following Bill his entire life in one way, shape, or form, whether it be as 2nd Prefect/HeadBoy in the family, or wearing his hand-me-downs. Percy is quite happy with Fleur as a sister-in-law and thinks it's the best decision Bill has ever made, and he deeply regrets missing the wedding - but he felt it was the best thing to do at the time, as otherwise the chaos of his showing up might have taken away from his brother. Would love to see what you see in their potential sibling relationship, particularly when it comes to the Big Split.

Ernie: Healer extraordinaire, has of course heard of the famous Bill Weasley but probably hasn't met him before - would love to change that ;)

Gemma: Former Slytherin / Current black market acquirer and spa runner, Bill was probably in his before last or last year of school when she was banned from quidditch for nearly (accidentally) killing another player, so she may have some infamy ;)

Vikesh: Ballycastle Bats beater, Ravenclaw, Hindu spiritualist/yoga teacher/meditation leader. Am up for encounters!

Hey Jaime!

I think that Bill just sort of chalks Percy's decisions during that era to mixed up priorities. In fact, Percy's decisions have probably helped Bill keep focus on where his priorities should be-- with his family-- throughout the years. They're very similar in the fact that they are both very goal-oriented/high achievers, and Bill's got a lot of competing interests between work and family. He's just glad that Percy was able to wise up and set things right. Just don't hate Bill if Don't be Perce is a personal mantra.

Feel free to throw all of the random ideas and interactions at me with your other three!

	I do see a lot of similarities, though Percy may see it all in a different way than his brother (e.g. doesn't see the initial situation as "work vs family" because there were many other factors involved, a lot of which was pride on both Percy and Arthur's sides). I won't hate Bill for his mantra, though I can't speak for Percy if he ever found out :-p (Reply to this) (Parent)
