Post by Teddy Lupin on Jul 30, 2007 1:33:26 GMT -5
Name: Ted Remus Lupin
Age: 19
Occupation: Auror in training for the Ministry
Appearance (when not using a picture, be thorough- 1-2 paragraph. min): Teddy is constantly told how he looks like his father, but oh! That looks like his mother. Really, he can look like whatever he wants to considering he is a metamorphogus. In his natural state though, he looks like a normal boy. A heart shaped face with blonde sandy hair and a few stray whites already growing in. He also has light green eyes that seem to be his and only his. While he has a calming presence about him, he’s not very imposing which is probably due to his height. He is only 5’8” but tries to add some height through intense looks. When he has the energy to decide what he looks like, he only changes his hair color to a bright turquoise which is his favorite choice despite his Gran’s grumbling.
Family: Teddy is lacking a lot of blood relatives due to the second war. His grandfather was killed as he was a muggle born and Teddy is actually named after him. His parents were also killed in the battle and both of his paternal grandparents have been dead for many years. Really, Teddy only has his gran. Andromeda Tonks. In Teddy’s mind though, his family doesn’t stop at blood. This is very true for his godfather, Harry Potter, and all of his children and his extended family.
Personality: Teddy as a quiet calm and reservation about him in public. One could even say he was shy boy at first glance. But it is only when you really get to know him does he really let go of that shyness. Then he turns into a laughing and teasing boy who loves to see people laugh at his own deadpan jokes. Since he is known for being so reserved, he has noticed that his jokes seem to find success even more than they usually would. This tendency in him comes out especially when he is trying to flirt with a pretty girl. Although this is a part of him, he also can fall back onto his shyness and nervousness on a dime.
Brief History (if you are using someone else's summarization, please cite it):
Teddy was born during the second war against Voldermort to Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin. His parents were both a part of the Order of the Phoenix and connected to the famous Harry Potter. In fact, Harry is Teddy’s godfather. During the siege of Hogwarts, both of his parents were killed leaving him an orphan much like his godfather. Growing up wasn’t always easy for the boy. From birth, his parents knew that he had inherited his mother’s talent and is a metamorphogus. And they probably would have been glad to know that Teddy is not a werewolf. But still as a son of a werewolf there are words that still hurt. It doesn't help that both of his parents were absent in his upbringing and that his grandmother (who raised him, Tonk’s mother, Andromeda who is actually Sirius Black’s cousin) was against telling her grandson stories of his parents. Andromeda blames her daughter’s death solely on her husband, Remus Lupin. She was against their marriage from the start as Lupin was a werewolf and therefore put her daughter not only in danger from him but also with the government. It seemed to be the last straw when Tonks was fired from her job at the Ministrey of Magic because of her marriage. So, whenever Teddy asks about his parents, his grandmother is more than happy to talk about the glories of her daughter before she meet “him.” Harry was more than active in his godparenting role as he still feels that Tonks and Lupin died for him. He has Teddy over for dinner at least four times a week and that’s when he is getting along with his grandmother. Harry has always butted heads over his rearing with Andromeda as he hates the way she blames Remus for everything. He always makes sure that Teddy knows that his parents were amazing people and that they loved him dearly.
When Teddy graduated from Hogwarts, he only had one thing in mind: to follow in the footsteps of his mother. He is currently an auror in training and is trying to show his peers that he is not just Harry's godson or Ron's nephew or Tonks' son, but he is really a good potential Auror. While he struggles to prove himself, his depression has seemed to sink in more and more every day. As his co-workers start to talk more and more of the second war, they then look to Teddy and apologize. It seems like he can never live a day without knowing that he was orphaned because of a war.
Things Worth Mentioning:
-He’s secretly crushing on Victorie Weasley.
–Oddly enough, he’s very talented in potions
- Teddy likes to fix things magical and living
- He misses his parents every day of his life
- Keeping the family happy, he was in Gryffindor
- He is very very very very touchy when it comes to issues of "dirty" blood and/or half-breeds. It's one of the topics that he could really argue over with people.
- While he was in school, he was his house's Keeper
*RP Sample:
Teddy sat on his Hogwarts bed, staring down at the photo album that his godfather had given him as a birthday present many years ago. The teenager let his fingers run along a picture of his mother and father on their wedding day, the only one that existed and was taken by Grandma Weasley. Teddy’s mother looked so happy, tears of happiness were rolling down her cheeks, her hair was the most vibrant pink that Teddy had ever seen. She looked up at her new husband with such a look of adoration and then she winked at the camera. Teddy’s father looked almost chipper compared to all of the other pictures he had of him. The bags under his eyes were erased and his eyes even seemed to sparkle as he watched her. Unlike Nymphadora, Remus Lupin never pulled his eyes from his new bride. He only watched her a deep smile on his face. Yeah, they loved each other.
With a snap, Teddy closed and locked the photo album. Sometimes the pictures were comfort, sometimes they were painful and today it seemed to be the latter. It was his seventeenth birthday today. Seventeen, the age Harry was when he lead good wizards and witches everywhere to victory. The age when Harry Potter got his parents killed. His hand tightened into a fist and he held back tears. What would life have been like if his parent were around? His mother would have played games with them, the two of them changing their facial features as they did. His father guiding his son during the full moon when the pain seemed to be impossible to live through. And this birthday…they would hold each other’s hands proudly, tears in his mother’s eyes.
But no, they weren’t there. And Teddy was alone. Sure he had his grandmother. He did always have his Gran. But when it came to tales of the past Andromeda Tonks seemed to freeze. She would easily give him a story about his mother growing up or when she first became an Auror. Yet, the stories that he wanted to know badly, the stories of his parents romance and life together, she refused him. Her nose would always turn up at the mention of his father. And while he knew that she still loved him, he couldn’t hope but notice her fear and maybe disgust with him every full moon. It was no hidden fact, Teddy knew all too well, his grandmother hated his father. Maybe she hadn’t at the start, but the fact that Nymphadora went to Hogwarts to fight alongside her husband. If he had kept out of the war…
If your character is canon and this applies to you...
Character traits that you have added (ie, Hermione can't eat alphabet soup because the scrambled letters drive her crazy): Teddy loves to draw and has an obsession with Muggle blues. If he wasn’t an auror he would be working at St. Mungo’s and has tried to talk his godfather into creating a position for an auror that would be the equivalent of an army medic.
Note: I hope this is ok as I kinda copied and pasted sections from my other application. Also, if you want me to be more open about Andromeda, let me know.
