ic information
Character Name: Robert Urquhart
Birthdate & Age: January 7th, 1981. Sixteen.
House & Year: Slytherin 6th Year
Bloodline: Half-blood, though this isn't information he likes to go blathering on about now a days.
Sexuality: Heterosexual, thanks.
Affiliation: Death Eaters with a leaning of "Oh bollocks, I guess I have to pick a side and this one looks like the winning team so let's go with it.", not to mention it's where his family stands. Family is very important and thusly, Robert has always taken into consideration what his family would do with this, siding with them when all else fails.
Place of Birth: Cardiff, Wales.
Current Location: Cardiff, Wales.
Appearance: Tall and lanky, Robert stands at about 5'11" (though he usually says he's at least six feet tall, just so he can say so) with very little muscle mass to his body. Not something you'd expect from a Quidditch player, though, all the same, Robert plays well enough without having to look like the other players. A bit on the pale side, Robert has dark features (very dark brown eyes and black hair) that are common on his mother's Welsh side, When it comes to dressing, Robert really would rather wear dress clothing and to not have it wrinkled, thank you very much. He may have a hobby when it comes to sports, but he's not very fond of getting down and dirty and keeping himself looking clean is always something that he strives to do, regardless of what he's doing.
Played-By: Andrew Garfield
Personality: Robert is, well, a bit on the dreary side. Unlike some of his fellow classmates, he likes t take things seriously. This can be a good thing but, of course, it also means he tends to take himself too seriously, which can be a bit of a problem. He dresses in muted colours, acts about ten years (if not more) older than he really is and generally not someone you'd want to spend your afternoon with. He can drone on about anything if he's given the right set of tools and knowledge about the subject and, while he prefers the quiet, isn't afraid of speaking to the masses.
Likes: Quiet, the Library, watching Quidditch, playing Quidditch (to an extent), girls, winter, old book smell, muted colours, classical music, old fashioned ideas, independence, being right, power, muggle Sci-Fi themed shows (what? It's his secret shame), organisation, and rain.
Dislikes: Hot weather, too much sunshine, death, blood (he's a bit squeamish around it), heights (he hides it well though), stupidity, broken rules (though at times he'll become quietly pleased about them, it depends on the situation), severely pro/anti Voldemort people, and Potions.
OWL Results: (If not applicable (i.e. fifth year student), give us a sense of how strong your character is, academically, and include a best and worst class.)
Parents: Patrick Urquhart (44, retired pro-Quidditch player, played with the Caerphilly Catapults) and Elizabeth Urquhart nee Sutton(44, Unspeakable at the Ministry).
Siblings: None. Robert is, and always has been, an only child.

History: September 1st, 1966 wasn't all that important of a date anywhere else in the world. It was the start of a new school year for the kids at Hogwarts and it was the ear that both Patrick Urquhart and Elizabeth Sutton came to school. They were both in the same year and, after a rocky start on the train, the two were sorted into the same house- Slytherin. Neither enjoyed one another's company and for years they found ways to annoy the other. It wasn't until their fifth year that they started to slowly get along and then in their seventh, after a spontaneous kiss, that they started to date. Of course, this didn't last long but, over the next ten years, the two were always running into one another, enough to bring them together for one final time in their marriage the fall of 1978. They didn't truly expect to have children, not for a while and especially not in the rocky times they had been married. While Patrick was noted as a Death Eater supporter, it didn't mean he was fully on board with everything. But, of course, things happen and the two welcomed their first and only child, Robert Ianto into their lives just seven days into 1981.
Character’s Ambitions: Well...Robert knows his father would love more than anything to have him join some Quidditch league and carry on the tradition. This isn't an appealing idea to the boy though, who has been unable to tell his dad that, no, he's not going to be needing any new gloves because he's not going to be needing them for too much longer, just a year or so. He's contemplated going into the Ministry but, as of now, he's come to no conclusive ideas on what to do.
Would you be willing to have your character die in the Final Battle? If you feel you need more people on list to die, go right ahead! I'm sure you'll tell me (in any case of my characters dying) beforehand so I can prepare myself, hah.
How do you intend to contribute to plot? How does your character fit into Deathly Hallows? He's not vocal about either side, which isn't widely accepted among his house. Most everyone has an opinion on this while Robert really doesn't know what to think. This doesn't mean he's going to be standing up for anything anytime soon-- he'll follow along with the crowd like a sheep until he finds some stable ground, something he's not found just yet.
Thesis:
writing samples
First Person Sample: (For the character you're applying for. Minimum of 150 words, unless you have an exceptionally brief character that would never write that much, in which case please note that's why you're under the word count. However, more definitely encouraged!)
Third Person Sample: (You may link to an old thread, but it must be for the character you're applying for. Minimum of 150 words. More still encouraged! If you have a character that speaks in a dialect or accent and aren't willing to forgo it during play, you have to include it in this example.)
