He shaves his hair into a buzz cut or slightly longer yet certainly still short. He carries himself with a respectful yet incredibly confident air, not doubting himself much at all – even when it’d perhaps be healthy to do so. Lang carries a slight southern drawl originating from Corpus Christi Texas, even though he was born in Johannesburg and didn’t move until he was five. He has certainly taken to many American traditions however, big meals, beautiful cars, and magic of course. Lang tends to wear a decent amount of clothing, often sporting a buttoned flannel jacket, an undershirt, and potentially a fall jacket should the weather call for it. Though he is also no stranger to the tank and shorts combination if he can find a beach. The young man has a rather welcoming smile and a friendly way about him, often times making sure everyone is involved in a certain activity. He stands around six feet four inches and has quite a bit of bulk on him. He eats a very high protein diet and is constantly working out. That is, when he isn’t consumed by his studies. He sports near-permanent bags under his eyes do to his constant late nights, but it isn’t all that surprising for a Warren student. He also seems to have a grim expression whenever someone suggests going drunk, though it is fleeting and ever so brief. He has piercing blue eyes that betrays his all brawn and no brains appearance. They evaluate everything around him and often feel somewhat invasive. Though his kind and relaxed facial features do alleviate some of this, thankfully. Overall, Lang looks like a nice guy, but the longer you look the longer the spool of yarn seems to travel into the dark.

Outwardly, he wants to be your friend and he seems like he’s got it all together. He has strong opinions on almost every topic and indeed has been known to have a boisterous mood most of the time. It is when he is alone that he changes. It starts small, a few drinks when he gets home, some studying, fatalistic comments about his father, about him, how bad could he have been that his father had to leave? A few more drinks, did his father know he was a wizard? Would he care? A few more drinks. Hopefully at this point he passes out. Lang when he is with people is nice, but in a distant way. He compliments you on your performance on the field and is off before you can respond. He’ll be the first to pat you on the back if you need it, but you won’t reach him later that day when you send him a message. Even on a good day where you catch him eating, perhaps sit down with him, he has become all too experienced in dodging questions and using those questions to ask you something instead. It is a façade that has worked, but surely someone has noticed at this point. His smile hands a little too low to be believed one hundred percent of the time. That much is certain.[/indent] [color=#6f9c84][b]R O M A N T I C I N T E R E S T S:[/b][/color] [indent]Lang has never had a significant other in any meaningful way. He has hooked up with a few girls, but they made the first move and he was simply too shell shocked to say anything about it. The level of trust it would take for Lang to ask someone out would be rather incredible, certainly at this point that sort of relationship doesn’t exist in his world. He’s fine with that for the time being. Though he does possess a sort of lonely gaze about him.[/indent] [color=#6f9c84][b]L I K E S:[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] The feeling you get when you know you’ve got nothing left on your plate. [*] Nature, biomes and weather specifically interest him, hence soul-searching in the Arctic. [*] Feeling wanted. To an unhealthy extreme unfortunately. [*] Zuko, little dude is his goddam life sometimes. [*] Warm foods and drinks, stew is his favourite along with coffee which he orders Double-double. [*] Staying in, sitting by the fire, putting his feet up. [*] Magic, it should go unsaid, but he enjoys the study of magic to a somewhat unhealthy and perhaps unsettling degree. It fascinates him like nothing else.[/list][/indent] [color=#6f9c84][b]D I S L I K E S:[/b][/color] [indent][list][*] People who lie to him, his forgiveness is rather small. [*] The idea of traditional masculinity, he doesn’t get mad when a guy has to lift, he does too, but he does get upset at the assertion that knowledge is somehow not masculine.

[*] Underestimation, he thinks it is one of the most pitiful mistakes one can make. [*] History, he may be intelligent and enthralled by knowledge of Magic, but he is a much more ‘in the now’ kind of learner.

He has few friends even as the captain of the Quidditch team and head boy for Warren. Two positions that force him to interact with his peers. Unfortunately he finds that to be largely impossible and instead spends most of his time simply encouraging others, laughing at their jokes, and avoiding questions and invitations. This all can be traced back to when Lang’s father left him at the age of five and his mother moved them to Corpus Christi. Because of this he has feared letting people in, he fears that if he does he will make them leave like he believes he made his father leave. It is such a fatalistic view that he once convinced an entire eighth grade class that he had appendicitis, when asked to see the scar, he made one. He got seventeen get well cards from that incident that he keeps on him at all times, in a small box underneath his bed. He takes them out and reads them one by one whenever he gets truly down on himself. Magic is a serious out though, being born to two humans it was entirely a chance encounter Lang had with the world with magic but now that he has been attending Salem for six years he has grown somewhat used to it. It has caused him to dull once more. That is why he has taken on so many extra responsibilities like Captain of the Quidditch team and Head male at Warren. He is anxious to see if he can forge bonds that will last him any time this year. But he’s incredibly doubtful.[/indent] [hr][hr][/hider] [/quote] The only problem I have with this is that their familiar is a fox. Could you change it to a more domesticated animal?

He is very bold and will stand his ground against anyone, no matter who you are. Jordan doesn’t like it when people bully others so he’ll definitely step in and defend anyone without thinking about the consequences first. Even though he has such a bold personality on one side, he can also be very distant especially if you said something wrong towards him. He doesn’t really like to talk out his problems with other people but instead writes them out in a journal. He hates being distant and times but most people don’t even know that he is distant, considering his other personality traits. If there was a trophy to hand out for being the biggest flirt then Jordan would definitely get that honor as he’s been flirting ever since he was in diapers.

His parents, James and Tori Woodsen, were wizards, as well and told him that he was a wizard when he turned five years of age. Of course, he was shocked to hear something that he didn't truly understand but his parents taught him how to hone his abilities and hide them from the world. Jordan did a good job at keeping his abilities hidden and didn't tell anyone that he was a wizard. It wasn't until the day he turned eleven years of age when a letter from a school that was strictly for wizards came in the mail. His parents explained everything once again and he was really nervous about attending the school, known as Salem Witches Institute. Him, his parents along with his brother went and shopped for the much needed supplies that was listed for them then off to the institute he went. While being sorted, he was sorted into the Good house but his brother was sorted into Tituba. Jordan thought it was weird but didn't really speak on the matter in public to anyone. Jordan has enjoyed his time in the Good house and even enjoyed the new friends that he has made. Of course, at first, he was mostly to himself and shy, rarely speaking to anyone but once he opened up, he spoke to everyone - Even people from other houses. Most of them adore Jordan but most of them hate him, which is definitely a given. Jordan loves being at the institute and wouldn't trade this lifestyle for nothing in the world. He loves all of the people that are really close to him, as well. Jordan just wishes his brother could be in the same house as him since he doesn't really see him much except for when he's in the same classes with him. Jordan also hopes that nothing drastic happens at the institute as to where him and his brother are truly separated.​[/color][/indent][/indent][hr][hr][/hider] [/quote] Could I have some clarification on the history a little bit? It's rather rare that a pureblood wizard would not know he was a wizard until he was five since he would have grown up in the wizarding world. Also, could you please remove the sexuality section underneath gender? Instead, put that information underneath Romantic Interests - anything related to romance or preferences are placed there :) [hr][hr] I know I have more CSes to read and i will get to them tonight. [h1]IMPORTANT NOTICE[/h1] Okay, i will not be accepting anymore Warren or Bishop characters after I check over these two CSes that are already ready. Also, I just wanted to make a clarification on familiars or pets (not a call out to you write, 'cause others have done this too (: ). I don't know if I put this anywhere, but I'm really lenient on pets when it comes to normal animals to have as pets + some birds of prey. So non-magical cats, non-magical dogs, most snakes that are domesticated and typically owned, and rodents that are domesticated and owned. I also accept eagles, hawks, and falcons + owls since they are used for messages (eagles are the preferred in 'murica.) I know I still have a lot of lore to update in the thing, but I've been ironing out a lot of details with my co-gms (who are a godsend ToT) plus I have been dealing with college apps and homework the past couple of days. Hopefully I'll have some stuff up this weekend :)
