CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------

Early Years:
I was born on 19th August 2000, in Dorchester town, Dorset. I lived with my mum and dad in Dorchester until I was three, when my younger brother Fraser was born. We then moved to live in London because my Dad had got a job there, in a local hospital. He is a doctor. My mum is a journalist for the local paper. She has also written a novel. We lived in a small flat above a newsagents. It was cramped, and uncomfortable at times, with only a kitchen diner, a small living room, a tiny bathroom downstairs, and two bedrooms: one for my parents, and one for me and my brother. When I turned four, I started school. I went to the local comprehensive for two years, but I found it hard to make friends, and my mum and dad thought it would be better for me to move schools. I stayed to the end of my second year at primary school, then left during the summer holidays.
Not long after, my second brother, Tean was born. It was then that my parents decided to move back to Dorset. We went to live in Wimbourne, a lovely peaceful village, home of the Wimbourne wasps Quidditch team which I now support. We stayed in Wimbourne until I was eight, then moving on for the last time so far, for Milton Abbas. Both me and my brother started the local school, and loved it. My brother fitted in perfectly, but I was now older and people were starting to notice that I was different. I was quite a solitary child, not because people didn't want to be friends with me, but because I chose to be. I liked to pick fights with people who annoyed me. I began to develop magical abilities, and realizing too that I had some control over them too. So, as I was always in trouble, my mum and dad had to go into school a lot, to sort things out.
Now, I am eleven, and have recently learnt about Hogwarts, and consequently, the wizarding world. I found out when a strange man in a maroon cloak and a pointed silver wizards hat appeared on out doorstep. He explained the whole of the wizarding world to me and my parents and we were thrilled. Since then we have been to Diagon Alley to buy my Hogwarts things and were awestruck. I am hoping to make lots of new friends when I have started!

RP SAMPLE:

Spoiler:

Hero is not taken yet as a playby so that is an option. Skandar, however, is already taken. He is not an option for you right now. If you need help adding graphics, please let us know--if you want to do that.

Also, we do need to have an rp sample. We need a short paragraph, written in past tense about your character and something he might be doing, as a sample post. You're welcome to look at some of the samples from some of the other accepted characters if you like.

k.

by Leo Dant Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:28 pm

Um, is that ok?
Also, yes, I would like some help adding graphics if possible, and I would like to use Hero please. So what do I do next in terms of Hero.

by **Khaat Lupin** Fri Sep 02, 2011 9:57 pm

let me see what i can work up for you. i don't specialize in graphics, but at least it would give you something

by **Khaat Lupin** Fri Sep 02, 2011 10:03 pm

take a look. does that work for now at least to get you started?

k.

Yeah, that's fine thanks! That's not actually Hero Fiennes Tiffin though...
Um, how would I change the picture on the actual application if I wanted to?
Leo Very Happy

With the RP sample done, is there any reason not accept this now?
Just checking, 'cause I don't wanna step on toes.

by **Khaat Lupin** Sat Sep 03, 2011 3:10 pm

by Leo Dant Sat Sep 03, 2011 3:12 pm

Um, no, please do accept it... but could you please tell me how to add a photo to the application at the top?
Thanks,
leo

You can see the two bits of image code at the moment because they are wrong. Interestingly enough. Haha.
At the moment you have this:

[img][img]

When you actually need this:

Code:: [img][/img]

Ignore the fact that it is in code here because the forum will code it if it is just standard.

Do you see what has been added there? The forward slash? Right, that closes the code and that's what you need to make sure is correct with all codes before you start adding links and such in.

Okay, you need to get the url of your chosen picture and to do so either right click and press 'Copy Image URL' (this works on Chrome but I don't know about other browsers) or just copy the web address. Okay, so as an example I have this...

http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/250x336/d_f/DaisyLowe01_today_blog_V_07May10_dl_bt.jpg

...a picture of Daisy Lowe. Okay, so now to make it come up you have to put it within the code that you've just fixed.

Code:: [img]http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/250x336/d_f/DaisyLowe01_today_blog_V_07May10_dl_bt.jpg[/img]

If done right then it will look like that in code form. Sometimes when you copy and paste straight in it will look like this upon being put up...

Code:: [img] http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/250x336/d_f/DaisyLowe01_today_blog_V_07May10_dl_bt.jpg [/img]

And that will not work. The site won't find the code, it'll just be broken. So once you have the code right, hit send and it should appear. :D
