dumbledore First of all, I want to apologise for posting before asking for permission. This is the first RP I am joining here and I didn't see the note on the top. I hope this won't be too annoying for you :( CS [hider=My Hider] [img]http://i.imgur.com/VDk7DOV.jpg[/img] [/hider] Name: Edward Matthew Smith, also Ned for short Age: 11 Appearance: very thin, somewhat tall, sickly looking. pale. black eyes (really black) and light hair. Personality: Ned is calm, rarely excited, composed, shy, easily scared. He is intelligent, loves to read and study. He dislikes sports and most physical activities. His overall appearance might not actually represent his feelings, because he is not used to communicating with others. He had spent at least two years of his past not speaking to others, by choice or by it being imposed on him. Edward has a hard time letting people close to himself and is a loner-type of person. However, he wishes to change this, because... he somehow feels this is not the real... Him. History: Ned's life has been a rather mysterious one. He was initially found at a small railway station by a travelling nun who was just in the midst of transferring from a monastery in the Southern England to one in Western England. 'He was crying like the world was ending!' she had explained to the main priest in the monastery when she appeared at the door of the holy place. All nuns and the priest him self took turns in caring for the baby, but one day, just as he was turning two, the baby disappeared. All attempts of the entire community, even the cities around the nun's residence, were in vain. Then, at the age of two, he was once more discovered. This time around, it was a London-based prostitute who found him near a dumpster in her region. Of course, she thought it was a leftover from one of her colleagues. She did what they all did at the time - left it at the doorstep of the nearby orphanage. The Falkland Orphanage for underage children. This was the place where, for some reason, Ned kept on living. There was no evidence of his being... out of the ordinary. He used to tell the Misses in the kitchen about his great adventure when he was small, but no one would believe him. After all, it was more than normal for a kid to think of exciting stories, being in denial of the truth. 'He's just a small child who no one wanted... Just like everyone here.' was what many said when they discussed him. It was his 10th birthday when something odd happened. He suddenly felt sick and couldn't walk, talk or even breathe normally. Edward was paid visits by a number of (rather cheap) doctors, but no one could guess what was wrong with him... One year until his letter came and everyone stared at it mesmerised at how precise his "address" was engraved on the parchment-like envelope. Blood Type: Unknown (he's been living in an orphanage), let to be known a half-blood Wand: 13 inch ash, dragon heartstring Wand Image: Pet: None Pet Image:
