〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Harry Potter
CHARACTER AGE:15 16
SERIES: Harry Potter
CHRONOLOGY:At the start of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts, a day after his birthday but the day before the Dementor attack in Little Whinging Near the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the day after the Felix Felicis incident
CLASS: Hero
HOUSING: Heropa, with roomies!
BACKGROUND: Harry on the Harry Potter wiki
PERSONALITY:
Harry Potter is a doer first and a thinker second. He's action-oriented and has never been much for well-laid plans when charging in recklessly will get the job done faster (not necessarily better but certainly faster). When tasked to fight a dragon at 14, he went into the arena with a vague idea that he was good at flying on a broom, and assuming he could get his broom, he could probably win by flying really well. (He did, in the end, but it wasn't the most well-laid plan.) He likes to do things himself, because Harry values his friends and their safety more highly than he values his own. He went alone to face Professor Quirrell and Voldemort in his first year, then went alone again into the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Ginny Weasley in his second year.
He wouldn't have gotten that far on either occasion without the help of his friends, however. He can be somewhat stubborn about accepting that help, sometimes for fear of his friends getting hurt, sometimes because his pride gets in the way. But at age 11, his best friend Hermione found the way through a deadly plant and his other best friend Ron defeated a giant chess set in order to get Harry far enough to reach Quirrell in the first place, and he had their strength and the strength of his responsibility to his friends to lean on during that confrontation. Ron and Harry found their way into the Chamber of Secrets together, and only a rockfall prevented Ron from sticking to Harry's side the whole way. Growing up in the Dursleys' cupboard under the stairs, he never had anyone willing to be his friend at all, let alone willing to fight on his side. He feels very deeply loyal to his friends, and grateful for their help and their loyalty in turn. He also feels responsible when someone fighting on his side gets hurt even if he had nothing to do with it. Harry is driven to protect: protect his friends, the people he's made his family, people he doesn't know and hasn't met, even his enemies if it's the right thing to do. He doesn't know it yet, but eventually he'll risk his life to save his long-time enemy Draco Malfoy from dying in a magical inferno.
Harry's pride comes from several sources: his mother and father, murdered when he was a baby and his mother's love keeping him alive; his innate skill riding a broom earning him a place as the Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team during his first year; his godfather Sirius Black, innocent but on the run and fighting back in secret; encountering so many life-threatening situations so early and surviving each one. That same pride sometimes keeps him from asking for help when he needs it, as during the Triwizard Tournament in his fourth year when he learned the solutions to the various tasks because his friends and allies helped without being asked. His pride causes him to hold grudges, as when he and his friend Ron weren't speaking during fourth year because of a misunderstanding over Harry finding a way to volunteer for the Triwizard Tournament despite being too young, when he hadn't volunteered and in fact hadn't wanted to participate at all. But his pride also pushes him to keep going when all odds are against him, when he's in danger, when he's in pain. He's lived through every encounter both in spite of and because of the strength of his pride.
Harry has gone through a lot in his life already and has come out remarkably well-adjusted on the other side of it all, but Harry Potter at fifteen feels helpless and angry. Just a few weeks ago, he witnessed the senseless murder of Cedric Diggory, the rebirth of his ultimate enemy Voldemort, and he's been shut up in the Dursleys' unfriendly house all summer with no idea what's happening in the wizarding world now that Voldemort is back. He'd taken to listening to the news every night, hoping he won't hear anything about mysterious unsolved murders in the Muggle world. He's on the edge of a war and he knows it, but he isn't in it yet. He's been shut out of his own war and that's made him sharp-tempered and jumpy, slow to trust, and never without his wand, despite being forbidden to perform magic outside school like all underage wizards.
But Harry has never been shy since he discovered he was a wizard at age 11. He makes friends quite easily, having made several friends just on his first train journey from London to Hogwarts, and if he notices someone in trouble, he's going to ask about it. If he notices a friend is distressed, he's going to want to know what he can do to help. Not whether or not he can, but what specifically he can do. He'll want to fix it, or find out how. He'll want to work with people who he thinks genuinely want to make a difference. He'll want to find out how he can be useful, especially after this summer of silence and uncertainty and plain not knowing what's happening. Harry doesn't do well when he hasn't anything to do, and he'll jump at the chance to be labeled a hero and really try to fight for the right thing.
POWER:
Slot: Magic
• Parseltongue: Harry is a Parselmouth and can talk to snakes using their hereditary language of Parseltongue.
• Wand: 11", holly, phoenix feather core
• Spells: Harry has been learning spells in school and from friends and allies for four years. He's better prepared than the average school-age wizard, but while he has attempted higher-level magic, he is still a student and tends to rely on the same spells, especially:
Harry will have his snowy owl Hedwig with him. While Harry does have a communicator, he will also have Hedwig available to deliver letters and pick them up for him (reflected in his IC inbox).
Slot: Lucky Charm (power update)
Harry is surrounded by an aura (approximate ten-foot radius) of low-level good luck for everyone he comes in contact with. People who encounter him are more likely to find ten dollars in their pocket and less likely to have a pen start leaking.
The intensity of his power is mood-based: when he's feeling largely neutral, it will stay at the level of finding ten dollars or not spilling coffee. When he's in a good mood, someone might get a phone call landing themselves a new job. When he's in a foul mood, it can even reverse itself into a jinx and someone might lose their keys in a sewer grate.
Once Harry (or someone Harry knows) realizes he has this power, he will start trying to find ways to control it, but it's largely passive. It also affects Harry himself, giving him the uncanny ability to walk into important conversations without being noticed (subject to player approval if threadjacking would happen), or find something that someone else has been looking for.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
[When the image appears, it's centered on a boy with glasses and a shock of unruly black hair whispering to a snowy owl to stop moving about and just stay put, Hedwig, please? It's also bobbing up and down very slowly because the communicator is floating, and if that goes on for too long it might weaken the stomach a little. It hasn't occurred to Harry, he just thinks this is the easiest way to make sure he can get both himself and Hedwig into view.]
Er, hi. Everyone. I'm Harry, Harry Potter, and this is Hedwig—ow! All right, go on, then. [Nursing a little bite on his finger now, Harry extends his arm out of frame and Hedwig flies off, before the image veers wildly into a flurry of white feathers and a sudden closeup of a sharp yellow beak. There's a cut-off shout of "Oi, Hedwig, don't—" before the screen goes dark.
It's back only a few moments later, just Harry this time, looking a bit more ruffled.] Right. Sorry. That was Hedwig. I don't think she likes these things very much. Probably thinks she's having her job taken away. Anyway, that's one reason I'm using it now, to ask if anyone else here uses owls to deliver letters for them, or uses a wand for magic, or anything. [And he lifts his right hand into view, holding the wand that's making the communicator levitate.] And I suppose, if you'd like to get a letter by owl post, just...let me know.
[As he flicks his wand and the communicator floats within arm's reach again, he's shaking his head and speaking off-screen.] See, I told you, you'll probably get loads of things to deliver to people.
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE: 1)The TDM starter I never wrote
Sitting at an outdoor cafe without much to do reminds Harry a bit uncomfortably of his third year. Or at least the bit before his third year, when he'd finally bolted from the Dursleys and ended up staying at the Leaky Cauldron for the last week or so before term started. Heropa isn't much like Diagon Alley, but there are some similarities sometimes. The weird fashions come to mind, especially when the four—no, the five people in bird costumes burst onto the street.
He'd been halfway out of his seat with his wand already drawn after hearing a cry of "Let go, that's my purse!" but then they'd shown up and made everyone else forget what they were doing through sheer fascination. Even the mugger was just standing there for a few seconds, one hand wrapped around the purse strap as he stared at the synchronized twirling, but it didn't take long for him to recover and remember he was meant to be committing a crime. Luckily for the owner of the purse, the pause had been enough time for Harry to get close enough to hit the thief with a sharp "Stupefy."
Less luckily, when the thief falls the purse hits the ground and the contents go everywhere. "Er, sorry. I didn't think he'd, um." Harry quickly hurries over to help the owner pick up all her things and receives a pointed thank-you that he's fairly certain is more meant to be a dig at the bird-people for not being as helpful as they could have been. The woman tosses an irritated look over her shoulder at the posing group and hurries on her way, leaving Harry and the unconscious thief in the middle of the street. Right.
"Oi, you lot," he calls to them, irritated himself now. "You can't just bloody pose and expect someone to wait to finish stealing until you've decided to get on with stopping them, d'you know?" And what's he meant to do with an unconscious thief anyway?

POWER:
Slot: Magic
• Parseltongue: Harry is a Parselmouth and can talk to snakes using their hereditary language of Parseltongue.
• Wand: 11", holly, phoenix feather core
• Spells: Harry has been learning spells in school and from friends and allies for four years. He's better prepared than the average school-age wizard, but while he has attempted higher-level magic, he is still a student and tends to rely on the same spells, especially:
Accio: Summoning charm. Brings any small- to medium-sized object to the caster even when in a different room. Effective over long distances with increased concentration on the object.Slot: Hedwig
Alohomora: Unlocking charm. Can unlock any door that hasn't been bewitched against this particular charm.
Arresto Momentum: Decreases the velocity of a moving target, especially when falling. Can be cast on multiple targets at once as well as on the caster.
Engorgio/Reducio: Engorgement and Shrinking charms. Increase and decrease the size of an object or creature. Dangerous for use on humans.
Expecto Patronum: Patronus charm. Conjures an animal-shaped manifestation of positive emotions. Used as a defense against Dementors and can be used for long-distance emergency communication. Harry's Patronus takes the form of a stag.
Expelliarmus: Disarming charm. Causes an opponent's wand/weapon to fly out of their hand, and potentially back to the caster.
Finite Incantatem: General counter-spell. Ends all enchantments within a ten-foot radius of the caster, or can be aimed to end a particular spell.
Impervius: Impervius Charm. Causes target to repel substances and outside forces such as water and fire. Can be cast on living things as well as the caster.
Lumos/Nox: Wand-Lighting and Wand-Extinguishing charms. Lights the tip of the wand and extinguishes it.
Lumos Maxima: Similar to Lumos, creates a very bright ball of light at the tip of the wand that can be thrown into the air like a flare.
Petrificus Totalus: Full Body-Bind curse. Paralyzes the target's entire body, often throwing them off-balance and causing the person to fall.
Protego: Shield charm. A physical transparent barrier that causes minor curses and jinxes to rebound and can prevent magical and physical attacks from reaching the caster.
Reducto/Reparo: Breaking and Mending charms. Can break and repair small- to medium-sized objects, including walls. Reparo can be used even if Reducto has disintegrated an object.
Stupefy/Rennervate: Stunning and Reviving spells. Stuns the target, and renders the target unconscious if used forcefully, sometimes hurling them through the air. Rennervate is the counter-spell. Both ineffective against magic-using creatures and non-humans.
Wingardium Leviosa: Levitation charm. Levitates and floats small- to medium-sized objects guided by the caster's wand.
Harry will have his snowy owl Hedwig with him. While Harry does have a communicator, he will also have Hedwig available to deliver letters and pick them up for him (reflected in his IC inbox).
