Questions
Could your character survive in the muggle world? Tom was born and raised in the muggle world at an orphanage in London. He had to learn to deal with muggles during that time but he was never good at concealing his nature. People always knew there was something different about him. His childhood was spent torturing the other kids at the orphanage just because he could. Sometimes things would happen that no one could explain after an argument or disagreement with Tom but most often it was just Tom experimenting with his powers, torturing blindly because he could. He loved the power he had over muggles, he loved being able to manipulate his surroundings.

After diving head first into the wizarding world it was near impossible for him to return to the muggle world without calling attention to himself. Tom developed a distaste for muggles which soon turned into a hatred. He can't stand muggle society and if it were up to him he would decimate every single muggle so they could no longer sully wizard blood.

When was their first kiss? It was quite a terrifying experience for the girl involved. During his first year at Hogwarts he trapped a Hufflepuff girl against the wall and his body and kissed her to see what it was like. She then started following him around the castle the next few days, irritating the hell out of him until he threatened her with a nasty hex.

How do they get on with their siblings? He doens't have any siblings to speak of but he has not been kind to the family that he did have. He murdered his father and grandparents then framed his uncle for the crimes. If he had any siblings, chances are he would have likely killed them by now.

What does their Amorentia smell like? Blood, smoke, and metal

Did they enjoy their time at school? Tom loved being at school, it was the first place where he really felt proud. He practically ruled the school while he was there, charming most everyone but Dumbledore was always right there watching him; preventing him from getting away with what he really wanted to get away with. He hated and feared Dumbledore but that didn't stop him from doing his best to gather support from fellow Slytherins.

He had a certain control over his powers before he went to Hogwarts but while studying magic he learned greater control and new techniques. Having a wand helped him focus his energy into his magic. He felt in control.

How often was your character in detention? Rarely ever, he was toted as a charming, well groomed, polite student. Surely one of the brightest minds ever taught at Hogwarts School but underneath there was a calculating, manipulative boy that barely anyone could see through.

What Quidditch team do they support? He doesn't have time for that rubbish

Can they see Thestrals? Yes, he began seeing them in his sixth year at Hogwarts after killing his grandparents and father.
