NICHOLAS EWAN CARTER [/style] [style=font-family:times; font-size:10; letter-spacing: 6px; line-height: 2px color:#9E3C33; text-transform:uppercase; font-style: italic; ] you're a wizard, harry CHARACTER FULL NAME: Nicholas Ewan Carter NICKNAMES: Nick, Nicky, Dumbass DATE OF BIRTH: August 9th AGE: Sixteen GENDER: Male SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight OCCUPATION: Lady-Killer. Okay… student. BLOODSTATUS: Halfblood (He tells people pure) FINANCIAL STATUS: Middle Class YEAR: Sixth HOUSE: Slytherin WAND: 10 1/2" Yew w/ Ashwinder Ash ALLEGIANCE: Slytherin House (he's too naive to really say anything else for sure) CANON: Nah. Tell Us a little about how you look HEIGHT: 5'11" (And he'd better still be growing) WEIGHT: 150 (He's as skinny as a rail right now, having shot up over the summer) HAIR COLOR: Blue EYE COLOR: Black DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Awkwardly skinny, at the moment, but he eats nonstop trying to fill out again. He's also almost always seen with food. FACE CLAIM: Russell Giardina ATTIRE: Because he grew about five inches from the end of last year, there wasn't much time to get him new clothes that would fit (especially since there was no telling where he was going to stop), so he's sifted through his brother's clothes to scrounge together a wardrobe he can live with. Mostly nondescript stuff that is baggy on him. and then a little about yourself LIKES: 1. Sunlight -- probably the worst thing for a Slytherin cooped up in a dungeon, so when the sun is out, he's often found outside. 2. Giving advice -- at least, that's what he considers it. Really, it's just bossing people around. 3. Lavish Living -- fine comforts compliment his grandiose demeanor. 4. Loyalty -- he is naturally loyal himself, but he strongly wants it from others as well. 5. Taking risks -- he likes taking the path not followed and feels personal accomplishment when he succeeds at his risky endeavors. Sometimes he will undertake something simply because someone else is too scared to do themselves. 6. Flattery -- he could be hurling himself into a fire and a compliment will make him instantly docile. His ego is strong, easily wounded, but also easily mended. 7. Drama -- he likes energy, even negative energy… so long as it's constantly flowing. Considering he doesn't get his way near as much as he'd like, he can often be found in confrontations. 8. The Spotlight -- Nick has a lot of grandeur and is a big personality even in the most mundane of situations. DISLIKES: 1. Night -- mostly because he's irrationally afraid of the dark. He sleeps every night with his curtains drawn and a good, strong nightlight hovering over his head that his dad would produce for him as a kid, but has since taught him to do. 2. Boredom -- he will become very pissy and temperamental if he's left inactive for too long and is known to snap at someone just passing by (or you know, full out pick a fight with them). 3. Taking orders -- he's young and not very good at it, but he fancies himself a leader of the pack, and ignores anyone who similarly has no interest in being a follower. 4. Attention on others -- he gets very jealous and moody when someone else is stealing the spotlight. 5. Caution -- neither with money nor course of action. He throws himself into things completely and trusts he can obliterate anything that gets in his way. 6. Whiners -- he bounces back from things pretty easily and hates listening to people moaning about their troubles. He's a take action kind of guy. 7. His brother calling him stupid -- because he's wrong. Jack's stupid. 8. Mediocrity -- oh, it's okay for everyone else. Because if everyone was special, then no one would be. BOGGART: ERISED: At the moment? A certain blonde Slytherin. (He's a hormonally over-charged teenager, watchu want?) OVERALL PERSONALITY: Nick is a hugely independent individual. One would be hard pressed to find anyone so brazenly vocal about their opinions and storming down unknown paths. Caution is not in his vocabulary (neither is thinking ahead much). He never thinks things will turn out against him and so enjoys a blissfully unaware inflated opinion of himself. However, when his ego manages to get punctured he falls hard. He has a fierce temper and due to his physicality he tends to resort to fighting when he's mad. Unless it's spouting off at the mouth, he's not really good at talking about his feelings. It's probably a wonder that someone as generous and as enthusiastic as him ended up in a house like Slytherin. What could be deemed a generally courageous stance on life is probably geared more towards Gryffindor. However, his grandeur outweighs his bravery. He wants to be great, and a person only has to know him for a few minutes to gather that. So then, for such a leader at heart, it's probably a wonder that he goes around claiming he'll join Death Eater ranks and be the best one yet. That's because to him it's like saying you're going to be a secret agent. He really only focuses on the attention and the action that's portrayed in media. He hasn't considered having to be told what to do, and there's a whole lot less making a grand entrance by blasting through a wall. Still, he does things to impress. (Like joining the quidditch team because he wanted to show off for girls). Equally, he's attractive to impressive individuals. But he only wants to be around someone he deems showing off would also reflect well on him. To girls he likes, he is doting and probably extremely annoying. He goes out of his way to be in their face constantly. He does not sit around hoping for attention. Whether the attention is good or bad, he makes it impossible to ignore him. He is your stereotypical Slytherin bully, but not because he wants to pick on someone in particular, he just likes getting attention from onlookers. So he will never bully in private, only when he has an audience. Even if that audience is off his turf and against him. (Granted, this has usually resulted in some major ego bruising--the kid doesn't have much sense). He has a tendency to stick his nose where it's not invited and voicing his opinion anyways. He likes to dominate a situation and make it go his way. If someone disagrees with him (and they are plenty), he is patronizing and intolerant. Aside from maybe being able to take advantage of his impulsive nerve and the fact that he is graciously helpful when asked, he probably gets on the nerves of a lot from his own house too. history your family and such PARENTS: Hendrick Carver (39; Alchemy Professor) & Adrienne Deniau (42) SIBLINGS: Jackson Carver (18; Ravenclaw) PETS: Duke, a maine coon. He's nearly the size of a medium-sized dog, dominates Nick's pillow, and has already eaten a first year's rat this year. OVERALL HISTORY: Nick was only one when his mother left back to France. He likes to think that he remembers her, but he’s not really sure if he does. As a child his dad carted he and his older brother around the world, when he wasn’t working at Hogwarts, and so he has interacted with many different types of people. His showmanship stems from this childhood of being thrust into a new situation and having to make friends fast. He did this by drawing a great deal of notice to himself, and the fact that his brother didn’t tend to make as many friends as him only emphasized that this was what he needed to do to be avoid getting overlooked. Of course, no amount of impressive or bad behavior seems to be able to distract his dad. When his brother was old enough, the two were left at home while his dad went abroad. There was a brief time that he was traveling alone with his dad, but his brother and he never really saw eye to eye and so he was not gone long enough to be missed before Nick also entered Hogwarts. Though traveling certainly had some interesting and once-in-a-lifetime encounters, Nicholas quickly preferred school. He was surrounded by people who admired him for his desire to stand apart and strive to be great. But he is kidding himself is he thinks he isn’t influenced by other people. Looking up to like-minded individuals, he quickly succumbed to lying about his blood status so he was accepted by those in his house, regarded as better even. This carried on further with talks about the dark lord and death eaters. The amount of attention garnered by their activities prompted Nick to seek such spotlight by claiming he will become a death eater and the best one ever. This has come under ridicule from his brother, but he hardly cares what Mr. Smarty-Pants thinks about him, and he actually doesn’t know if he’s ever met a Death Eater or not. Hell, if he did, he might end up turning them in because of the amount the ministry is rewarding for information. Nick’s school career has not been too bad. To avoid getting pestered by his dad, he keeps up passing grades. He has had a hard time picking classes because he’s not sure what he wants to do with his future. He does enjoy it, and is a daring player, but he joined the quidditch team in his fifth year to impress girls. This still hasn’t managed to earn him the affections he desires, but if you thought he was strutting around before, it’s nothing compared to now that he’s sprouted up. now for the person behind the character ALIAS: Shades AGE: 26 EXPERIENCE: 9 yrs. WHERE'D YOU FIND US?: Sorry it took awhile. I got burned out and then couldn't figure out how to write his history to avoid being regurgitation of Jack and Henry's.
