What House? Why?
James belongs in Gryffindor because he will always stand by his friends and is very brave. Gryffindor is the only house fit for James. Who could picture him in a different one?
Boy Are You Funny Looking
Appearance:
James was a tall, thin man with hazel eyes and untidy black hair that stuck up at the back. During his Hogwarts years, he had an indefinable air of having been well cared for and even adored. As late as his fifth year, he started wearing glasses, although in his first year he had not.
James also has that certain charisma about him. He can't help it if girls throw themselves at him. He is the Gryffindor seeker after all. Occasionally, when his goofy side is well hidden, he tends to come off as a very mature leader.
Height:6'5"
Clothing:
James is usually wearing his school robes or lose fitting pants and a whit t-shirt, usually a bit on the tight side to show off his muscles. His shoes are pretty big too (hint hint)
Everybody Has Personality Flaws
Personality:
James was a clever and talented wizard, but very mischievous when he was younger. He could be arrogant and boastful, and even bullied other students on occasion, particularly his long-time rival, Severus Snape. However, he ultimately grew out of this, losing some of his arrogance and becoming enough of a responsible student
Despite being a pure-blood, James disagreed strongly with the concept of blood purity, and was disgusted with any prejudice towards Muggle-borns. In addition, he did not hold prejudice towards werewolves, such as one of his dearest friends, Remus Lupin.
Grew Up:
James Potter was born into a pure-blood wizarding family of considerable wealth. Both his parents were elderly, even by wizarding standards, and both died under normal circumstances between 1975 and 1981. Because he was their only child, arriving later in their lives, James's parents pampered him a great deal, so he grew to be arrogant, boastful, and proud, but deep down a good person
Though more mischievous than diligent, James was a very clever student. At some point, he became Chaser for his house's Quidditch team, and he was entirely aware of his talent. He was something of an obnoxious youth for the majority of his time at school; he liked to show off and was exceptionally self-confident. He habitually ruffled his hair to make it even untidier, to look as though he'd just got off his broomstick.
Likes:
James really likes Quidditch. He's always liked Quidditch. From the time when he was a little boy and caught his first Trainer Snitch he knew he'd end up on the Quidditch Team at Hogwarts.
James also like to study. He likes to know when he goes in for a test that is no possible way he's going fail it. He enjoys being self assured, this is just another way to feel like he's always in control.
Dislikes:
James dislikes Severus Snape with a passion. He envies him for being so close to Lily. Not to mention that he is always trailing them like some lost puppy just trying to find something that can get them expelled. It's understandable that James would turn around and use his own hexes against him, right?
James also dislikes disrespect. He demands respect because he bloody well deserves it. You do not go around calling a lady a slut, whore or a Mudblood. Especially not a Mudblood. Never use that word in his presence. Period.
Strengths:
James is very brave. He is willing to go to extreme extents to protect those around him. Despite him seeming like an arrogant ass he's also very kind, it's just hidden under there some where. Way down there.
James is also very skilled in transfiguration, becoming an Animagus at just 15 years old. His wand is also very good for transfiguration.
Weakness:
James sucks at being nice. Sometimes he can make it half an hour without insulting someone or cursing them but those are very rare. Sometimes he just needs to feel a little better so he feeds off their sadness.
James is also very protective. Sometimes this can be an asset but most of the time it is unneeded. If he feels as if he has claim over someone you better not touch unless you're ready to get hexed into oblivion.
Phobias:
James is afraid of loosing those that he cares most about. He'd do anything to protect them, even if occasionally they annoy him. Losing someone he loves would be like killing a part of him.
Turn On's:
James is turned on by hair flips. He had a tendency to get girls mad just so they'll flip their hair in annoyance. Yes, it may be a little weird but James is a little weird.
James also likes attitude. He was a child that was never told no so when people get angry with him he finds it quite hilarious. So when they insist on telling him off all he can do is sit there and try not to laugh. But some people's faces turn purple! How can you not laugh?
Turn Off's:
James can't stand people who have no personality. If he can't carry out a conversation then he's out of then in 0.2 seconds flat. Who would dream of being stuck with a serious twit their entire life? Not James.
James also doesn't like people who are tight-asses. He likes someone he can joke with and can laugh at most of his jokes (Even the unfunny ones). He just wants someone who he can insult and all they do is laugh and insult him back.
We're All A Little Weird
Personal Effects
James is always playing with a Golden Snitch he had stolen from the Quidditch Pitch in second year. Some say it's to impress girls, probably because it is.
Quirks or Habits
James is constantly fiddling with something. Anything. His fingers never stop. They constantly twiddle together, poke someone or rip at grass. James just can't sit still.
James also has the habit of hexing innocent students, especially Severus Snape, just because he can. Sometimes he can't help it.
Extras
James is an unregistered Animagus. 'nuff said.
Power Range:
James is a moderately good wizard with a very wide power range. He tends to use his powers for bad things instead like tormented a certain Slytherin who has a tendency to get too close to Lily but all in all he is quite a powerful wizard
Sample Post
James flew through the sky on his broom, preparing for the Slytherin scrimmage. He would beat them into a pulp as usual. He had given up his Chaser status to pursue a much more easier job as a Seeker. You got more girl that way. When you're playing with a Snitch girls are generally more attracted to you then when you're throwing a Quaffle in the air. James paused to run a hand through his hair and wonder where Lily was. He was a little on edge because he hadn't seen her or Sirius all day. He didn't quite trust Sirius around her. He had a certain charm about him.
James threw himself through a series of complicated tricks, trying to make sure that he was prepared for all types of things. He absently flicked his wands and small pebbles started to fly through the air, helping him train for the tiniest of movements. With him as the Seeker this year, they were sure to pulverize the Slytherins, finally.
