Now, you may already know, everyone here is desperate to know absolutely everything. All the tiny details- no matter how embarrassing."[/color] [color=EE82EE]What is your full name?[/color] "George Arcturus Nott- I don't really use my middle name." [color=EE82EE]What kind of build do you have?[/color] "I'm 5'10 and pretty normal. I don't have any issues with weight, although I've been told I'm on the skinny side of things. So lanky would probably explain it best, I guess." [color=EE82EE]Describe your hair. What colour is it? What style do you keep it in?[/color] "It's white blonde, from my father's side of the family. It gets really curly if I don't keep it short so I just keep it as basic as I can. Thankfully it doesn't take much effort to maintain." [color=EE82EE]What colour are your eyes?[/color] "They're brown, a sort of green-brown mix. Hazel maybe." [color=EE82EE]What kind of accent do you have?[/color] "I was born in Oxford so I guess I sound like I'm from Oxford." [color=EE82EE]Is there any particular facial expression that you are known to wear often (dour glare, cheeky grin, etc.)?[/color] "I'm known for either glaring, smirking or looking like thunder. It soley depends on how I'm feeling." [color=EE82EE]Are you known for having any particular mannerisms (gestures, habits, or ways of doing things)?[/color] "I have a weird thing about food, I don't like it to touch and it destroys my appetite if it gets messed up. It's stupid." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any allergies, diseases, debilitating injuries, or other physical weaknesses?[/color] "I'm allergenic to pine nuts.." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any scars, tattoos or birthmarks?[/color] "I have a few scars from duelling-" [color=EE82EE]"And any tattoos? Any marks?"[/color] "No. None." [color=EE82EE]Are you left or right-handed?[/color] "I'm left-handed." [color=EE82EE]"Does that make things difficult?"[/color] "I don't understand what you're asking." [color=EE82EE]"Now, now- Everyone here knows whose side you fight for."[/color] "I don't know what you're talking about." VITAL STATISTICS: [color=EE82EE]When is your birthday?[/color] "It's the 30th of October." [color=EE82EE]Where were you born?[/color] "Idstone, Oxfordshire." [color=EE82EE]What House are you in?[/color] "Slytherin." [color=EE82EE]"like the rest of your family?"[/color] "Not all of them." [color=EE82EE]30: Do you belong to any exclusive groups (guilds, clubs, teams, religious sects, etc.)?[/color] "I'm Captain of the Slytherin Duelling Team. I have been since my 5th year." [color=EE82EE]So, you have a natural talent for it? An interest in danger?[/color] "I enjoy the sport if that's what you're asking." [color=EE82EE]What social class do you belong to?[/color] "My family is Pureblood." [color=EE82EE]I hear you're family has a direct line to the Black House. Is this true?"[/color] "All Pureblood families in Britain basically do. My mother was directly related and my father is related through blood and marriage." FAMILY: [color=EE82EE]Who are/were your parents? Tell me about them.[/color] "My father is the Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry." [color=EE82EE]"Does that have any effect on your [i]professional[/i] leanings?[/color] "I'm not here to adhere to rumours about my allegiances and professional [i]leanings[/i]. My father has had little to no affect on what I do professionally. We were never really close due to my preference to not follow the path of becoming an Auror. [color=EE82EE]No- Of course. Becoming an Auror would be suicide for you."[/color] "I don't have time to train and to provide support against darker magic. I chose to avoid that career due to following my own career desires." [color=EE82EE]"What about your mother?"[/color] "We're closer. We speak occasionally but she tries to stay out of things for my father's sake. He was disappointed in my choice of career." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any siblings? If so, tell me about them.[/color] "I have an older brother, Theodore. He's currently in Ukraine studying wand lore. He's had that passion since he first received his wand. He has a remarkable talent with the subject as well as learning runes and the traditional Goblin languages." [color=EE82EE]Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, tell me how their legacy affects you.[/color] "If you can count the entire Black Family tree-" [color=EE82EE]How close are you to your family in general?[/color] "I'm close to my brother but due to his location, we barely speak." PERSONALITY: [color=EE82EE]Are you basically an optimist, a realist, or a pessimist?[/color] "A realist, probably. There's no point assuming everything is going to work out for the best, nothing rarely does." [color=EE82EE]Are you generally laid back or are you inclined to worry?[/color] "I have a tendency to worry a lot." [color=EE82EE]How well do you work under pressure/to a deadline?[/color] "It depends entirely on what sort of deadline. I work pretty well under pressure in a duel but not necessarily anywhere else." [color=EE82EE]Would you call yourself a perfectionist?[/color] "Yes. I do." [color=EE82EE]What makes you happy, and why?[/color] "Dueling, and Quidditch mostly. They're fun and generally a really easy way to just wind down." [color=EE82EE]What makes you angry, and why?[/color] "Mostly idiots- I don't get why people are constantly in each other's faces about things. I don't get stupidity." [color=EE82EE]What makes you frustrated, and why?[/color] "Idiots again. My friends too, and myself. I mostly get frustrated at myself." [color=EE82EE]Are you short tempered? How well do you keep your cool?[/color] "Yes and quite badly. It's hard for me to keep my cool at times." [color=EE82EE]How easily do you get depressed or discouraged?[/color] "Ehh, it depends. If something is proving too difficult then really easily." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any fears or phobias? What is your greatest fear?[/color] "Drowning mostly. I'd hate to drown, it's got to be one of the worst ways to go." [color=EE82EE] Do you make promises or oaths? If so, do you keep them?[/color] "I keep promises to my friends." [color=EE82EE]"What about oaths? Have you made any of those?"[/color] "No, why would I?" [color=EE82EE]Do people consider you to be trustworthy?[/color] "My friends do." [color=EE82EE]"But not anyone else?"[/color] "I don't have a reason to for them to think so." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any secrets? If so, does anybody know about them, and how did they find out?[/color] "Seriously? Everyone has secrets." [color=EE82EE]"Well if everyone knew you're secret you probably wouldn't be here. You'd be locked away."[/color] [color=EE82EE]Do you have any vices?[/color] "Cigarettes." ABILITIES AND TRAITS: [color=EE82EE]Do you have any special skills or abilities? If so, how did you acquire them?[/color] "My father had always stressed the importance of being able to duel well. If I wanted to become an Auror I needed to be better than the Dark wizards; I grew up thinking that. I grew up watching the London Larks each month and decided I wanted to be like them. I would practice every night. My father would spend time teaching me how to stand correctly and how to cast a spell; without a wand. When I finally went to Hogwarts, I joined the Dueling Club and would practice with them. Turns out I had a natural talent for it." [color=EE82EE]"I heard you've practiced Legillimancy before?"[/color] "I took it up as a hobby in my fourth year." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any serious difficulties with certain skills or abilities?[/color] "I'm not a very good flyer and I can't swim." [color=EE82EE]Do you participate in any kind of sports?[/color] "Dueling, that's it." [color=EE82EE]Do you have any talent for music?[/color] "No, I have two left feet if I'm moving to a beat instead of in combat." RELATIONSHIPS: [color=EE82EE] Who is the person you respect the most and why?[/color] "Probably my brother. Our father wanted us both to become Aurors. He's the only person I know who hasn't let anything stop him from doing what he wants." [color=EE82EE] Who is the person you despise the most and why?[/color] "My father. I don't regret my childhood but I miss it. There wasn't any time for games when my father was around. The pressure was intense." [color=EE82EE]Do you tend to argue with people, or do you try to avoid conflict?[/color] "Both. If I can help it I won't start an argument but there are times that it can't be helped." [color=EE82EE]How long do you usually have to know somebody before you are willing to trust them?[/color] "It depends. My teammates are pretty instant. You have to trust them. Other people, generally a really long time." [color=EE82EE]Do you have a lot of friends?[/color] "I did whilst I was in school." [color=EE82EE]How well do you get along with strangers?[/color] "It depends again, I mean I'm not going to become friends with someone I've never met before unless we share something in common." [color=EE82EE]Do you like spending time alone?[/color] "Yes, and no." [color=EE82EE]"No?"[/color] "I worry." [color=EE82EE]Who is the last person you would want to be stuck on a deserted island with?[/color] "My father. He'd kill me." [color=EE82EE]Do you like children?[/color] "No, I don't have the patience." [color=EE82EE]Are you inclined to act differently among certain people or groups?[/color] "Yes-" [color=EE82EE]"Why? Why act differently?"[/color] "Don't show you're true colors to someone who can hurt you." [color=EE82EE]"Wise words, it feels like you've used them before.[/color] HISTORY AND INFLUENCES: [color=EE82EE]How would you describe your childhood in general?[/color] "Full of expectations and pressure. I'm surprised I didn't crack." [color=EE82EE]What is your earliest memory?[/color] "I don't really know. It was raining and there were two men outside the house. I remember shouting and my mother screaming. I remember moving house after that." [color=EE82EE]"Ooh, ominous. Did you find out who the men were?"[/color] "No but my parents told me they were wizards who'd escaped trial and had come to enact revenge." [color=EE82EE]"You're father was an Auror too, correct?"[/color] "He was." [color=EE82EE]Did you go to school? If so, tell me about your school life. Did you enjoy it?[/color] "I went to Hogwarts like everyone else. I was in Slytherin and a member of the Dueling Team. I enjoyed school to a point. Essays are better than working, for sure." [color=EE82EE]As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?[/color] "Either an Auror or a Duelist." [color=EE82EE]Have you ever travelled outside of your home country? If so, to where?[/color] "My father got tickets to each Quidditch World Cup, we went plenty of times." [color=EE82EE]Tell us about your first date.[/color] "Her name was Rhiannon, we sat next to each other in Herbology. Our first date was lunch by the Black Lake. It wasn't anything special. It rained and we got soaked. I was thirteen." [color=EE82EE]When, and with whom, was your first kiss?[/color] "In my third year again, her name was Freya." [color=EE82EE]Have you had many romantic interests in your life?[/color] "A number, yes." [color=EE82EE]Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?[/color] "No. In my fifth year, her name was Charlotte." [color=EE82EE]What do you consider to be the most important event of your life so far?[/color] "There's a fair few of them." [color=EE82EE]"Surely there's at least one."[/color] "I wouldn't know which to pick." [color=EE82EE]"Not even joining up in any clubs?"[/color] "No." [color=EE82EE]Tell us about the best day of your life.[/color] "Probably the time we won the Dueling Cup the same year I become Captain. It was a moment that proved to everyone that I wasn't just bullshitting or lying about it. I was actually pretty damn good. I used a spell I'd created myself, it's well known on the Dueling circuit now." [color=EE82EE]Have you ever been in a life-or-death situation?[/color] "If you count dueling, yes." [color=EE82EE]"Nothing else?"[/color] "Only dueling." [color=EE82EE]Have you ever killed someone?[/color] "No! Why would I?" [color=EE82EE]"Rumors, rumors."[/color] "Lay off them." [color=EE82EE]What is the most evil thing you have ever done?[/color] "Lay off that. They're not even true."
