History: Sirius’ bio at the Harry Potter Lexicon

Personality: The thing about Gryffindors is that they are generally smart people, but have a tendency to do completely idiotic and sometimes amazing things in the name of friendship. This is certainly the case for Sirius, who also happens to be one of the first Gryffindors in his family in a very long time. He is one of the best friends you could ever have, if he’s decided he likes you. (Alright, so he might have a bit of a superiority complex, but you would too if you were the heir to the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black.) Regardless, he IS a Gryffindor, with all that ‘daring, nerve, and chivalry’ nonsense that comes with it.

Firstly, Sirius is quite an intelligent little asshole. He would have to be, to have helped make the Marauders map before he was even done with school; and to have become an unregistered Animagus when he was fifteen years old. He also managed to enchant make two-way mirrors to share with his friends (primarily James) when they were in different detentions. He is quick to pick up on things and can generally always find a creative way out of something. (Which is useful, when you are as much of a prankster as he and his friends tend to be.) He does well in classes, particularly Transfiguration; but tends to become easily bored and so fixates on ….more interesting things to do. Like pranks, mostly. Anyhow, this leads right into my next point.

As stated, Sirius tends to be a bit of an asshole. He was raised in a very rich pureblood family, and as a consequence is rather used to getting the good things in life and feeling like he’s --well, above the law. He’s not as bad as he USED to be, hanging around Remus and James for the better part of four years has done him some good; but he still has an appreciation for the finer things and isn’t shy about getting them when he can. He is very used to things happening as he pleases and when he pleases, and doesn’t like taking no for an answer. Doing stupid, reckless, possibly death-defying things are events that happen on a day that ends in y. Rules are a bit of a foreign concept for him, breaking them is loads more fun than following along with everyone else. He has little respect for authority; unless someone has shown him good reason that they deserve respect they won’t get any.

Bad tempers tend to run in the Black family. As we can see in Order of the Phoenix, Sirius’ mother doesn’t tend to shy away from insults and pretty much verbally abusing her eldest son. He shoulders it off most of the time, but he can be just as vicious as his mother when he’s in the mood for it. For the most part, Sirius tends to be very even-keeled, unless you hurt or insult someone he considers family.

To be honest, Sirius has had to take his family where he can find them, since his actual one is kind of horrible. He never exactly fit in with the rest of the Blacks, and so the family he found at Hogwarts was the one he actually cared about. He’s felt like the odd man out a few times too many in his childhood; and so has a bit of a soft spot for those generally considered the weird or quiet ones. When Sirius loves, he loves through good and bad and that’s not going to change, unless someone does something particularly awful. Once his loyalty is earned, it’s not going anywhere. He loves deeply and will do anything for those he cares about, even if it means doing dull things like being patient and not insulting everyone he happens to dislike and somewhat behaving. In addition to GIVING love, he also likes -- well, receiving it, and (usually) not in a dirty way. He is unashamedly an attention whore, and quite likes being the overdramatic center of attention whenever possible. Sure, it might get him in trouble most of the time; but at least he’s not being ignored!

Despite all the temper problems, tendency to be severely annoying, and still lingering spoilt-child issues, Sirius is pretty much the best friend anyone could ask for. He loves and protects his friends like they are his family; because they pretty much are. He trusts them through thick and thin, and is assured that they would do the same for him. He is generous and kind to those he deems worthy of respect and considers A Good Sort; though he does have his own tendencies of being a bullying ass to -- those who are also being asses of some sort. Ah, irony.

Powers/Abilities: Magic! Which includes all the spells and abilities that come with being a fifth year at Hogwarts. Sirius is particularly talented at transfiguration and defense spells, specifically. They also study charms, potions, and flying. Sirius has also gained his animagus form in the past school year, which is a large black dog, otherwise known as Padfoot. If these don’t actually exist in game, that’s fine; but he will be slightly useless and have to take cues from Remus. Also, he will need his wand for any spells he casts, since wandless magic is apparently very difficult in the Potter universe.

Actionspam Sample:

[Here, citizens of Teleios, is one rather lost-looking teenager in the kitchens of the temple. He had been debating coming down to hunt for some food, but there’s not a house-elf to be seen, and he hasn’t the slightest idea how Muggle contraptions work. This is why you don’t get raised by creepy pure-blood fanatics, kiddies.]

Halloooooo, the kitchens! Anyone home? Because I’d love a pie, or some pumpkin juice, or maybe one of those sandwiches that hasn’t been on the floor for Merlin-knows-how-many-months. Never again. One night of pain was quite enough for my young stomach.

[He wanders over to a stove and pokes at it, squinting cautiously.] Does anyone know how to turn this bloody Muggle thingy on? Moony? Help me, Remus, you’re my only hope of food! [Then, as if in hopes that someone will have heard his yelling, he sprawls out on the floor dramatically.]

Prose Sample:

It was the end of term again, always a bit of a melancholy time for Sirius. Sure, it wasn’t so bad when it was the Christmas holidays, those were only a few weeks long. But the worst part of the year was always the end of it, when Sirius faced returning to Grimmauld Place for another three months. He didn’t know how much longer he could take it; the unbridled venom of his mother and his father pretending he didn’t exist. He usually spent the majority of his time at home holed up in his room, listening to Muggle music (mostly to annoy his parents) and writing letters to James, Remus, and Peter. It wasn’t a ‘home’, not really. Home was where you wanted to be most, wasn’t it? A place where you could be yourself, somewhere you could unwind and have your friends around. That would never be Grimmauld Place. Never had been, if he was honest about it. The only place he’d felt at home was Hogwarts, or out and about with James during holidays.

There was an idea. Maybe he wouldn’t even go home for summer hols, just pack his trunk and bags and head to the Potters’ house. He was going to be seventeen in October anyway, his parents couldn’t put up a fuss then; and he spent as much time as he reasonably could at the Potters’ already. Surely they wouldn’t mind him spending some time with the very-distantly-related family? Sirius grinned to himself. He’d bring it up to James, of course, but he was certain the other would be all in favor of it. James knew how much Sirius loathed his family. Now, at least, he had the beginnings of a plan, and the hope of being somewhere he loved as soon as term officially ended.
