Overall Personality
Please list at least 5 personality traits and explain how they would be seen in your character

• Example: Shy Jane doesn't really like talking to, or meeting new people much. She would prefer to sit in the backround and observe.
  
• Talented Harry has been able to get out of tough situations.  Although with help, he defeated the basilisk, Voldemort, and saws his god-father from the Dementor's Kiss. You can't deny it, he's got talent.
  
• Unreasonable This is a newer trait, and applies with the elementals.  He doesn't want to be betrayed again, so he won't listen to reason at this point.
  
• Righteous Harry has great morals, even if emotions blinds him at times.  He doesn't like the elementals, but Harry hates Voldemort.  He fights for what he feels is right, and he won't change that.  He can be stubborn when it comes to what he fights for.  
  
• Modest Harry doesn't believe that he is the bet in the world, or great at all.  Everything he has done is because he had help, an that's the story he is sticking to.

History: 

Harry was a boy born into destiny.  His parents lived in Godric's Hollow before they were killed.  On Halloween when Harry was only a year old, Voldemort acted on a prophecy, a prophecy which Voldemort set in forward that day.  Voldemort killed Harry Potter's parents and planned to kill Harry, but Harry's mother stopped him.  After Lily Potter sacrificed her life for Harry, Voldemort turned his wand on Harry, but was unable to kill Harry.  Voldemort's curse rebounded on him and Voldemort disappeared, leaving Harry in a half destroyed house.  However Hagrid took him away from his house, leaving only bad memories and for some a good outlook on the future since Voldemort was gone.  Harry was taken to his aunt's and uncle's house that day.  His aunt, Petunia, was startled when she found him, and screamed that morning.  There Harry grew up.  His cousin Dudley bullied him all the time, and Harry ha no friends.  For years his bedroom was a cupboard.  Until the day wizards came back into his life.

On his cousins birthday, Harry was finally allowed to go somewhere special for once. Normally they would just have Mrs. Figg take him but she was unable.  That was the day he showed signs of magic for the first time.  At the zoo, Harry talked to a snake, let it loose, and trapped Dudley in a snake's cage.  Later the concenquences were great.  Locked up in the cupboard for awhile.  Finally on the day before his birthday, letters were literally filing his house.  His uncle took them away and out to a shack in the middle of no where.  At exactly midnight, Hagrid came and gave him his letter.  The next day, Harry went shopping and returned to the Dursley's House.  When September rolled along, they headed out and Harry got on the train.  That's where he met Ronald Weasley, the brother of Ginny who is now one of the elementals.  He and Ron got along very well.  

When they arrived at Hogwarts, Harry was called up like any other first year.  He was sorted into Gryffindor after the hat kept saying he would be a great Slytherin, but he didn't want it to be so, so the hat sorted him accordingly.  That year was eventful.  He and Ron rescued Hermione from a troll, gaining her friendship.  Of course they were the reason she was in trouble, if Ron hadn't upset her of course.  Then the three of them found out about the sorcerer's stone an set out to save it.  They all started when Harry and the two others wondered into the forbidden corridor.  In the door was a gigantic cerebrus named Fluffy.  This event peeked Harry and Ron's intrests, but not Hermione's.  Finally after hours of searching they gave up for awhile.  After Harry made a night trek using his invisibility cloak, and a close call with Filtch, Harry found the mirror of erised.  He saw his parents and went to get Ron.  He didn't see Harry's parents... But he did see himself better then all the rest.  Then not too log afterwards, Hermione found a mention of the sorcerer's stone in a huge book she read for 'light' reading.  Then they went to Hagrid, who had a dragon egg.  It hatched right in front of Harry and his two friends.  Then Harry tried to sneak the dragon out of the school with Hermione's help.  Didn't work too well.  They were caught.  Then detention came.  They weren't alone however Malfoy an Neville had to come along as well.  In the forest, Harry and Draco were assigned together, and they trekked on.  Then a hooded figure appeared and Draco ran.  Harry stayed and was in extreme pain from his scar.  A centaur came and saved him.  They decided, after talking with Hagrid an him revealing how to get passed Fluffy, to go down the trapdoor.  A harp played and they jumped into devil's snare.  Hermione was smart enough and relaxed.  Harry went next and Ron was saved because Hermione lit a light.  The next chamber was when Harry flew on a broom and barely managed to catch the right key.  Then Chess came.  The fateful game ended with Ron sacrificing himself.  Harry and Hermione were worried so Hermione stayed behind and helped Ron out.  Harry went on.  Even though they suspected Snape of trying to steal it, it turned out to be Quirrell. Harry fought Quirrell and won because of his mother's sacrifice.  

The next year, the Dursley's trapped him, because of a certain house elf *cough cough Dobby*. During a business meeting between Vernon and Mr. Mason, who brought his wife with him, Dobby used his powers to ruin the party, and then shortly afterwards disappeared, framing Harry for the chaos. Dobby's act of magic caused Harry to receive a warning from the Ministry of Magic and to be imprisoned in his room by the Dursleys. Despite their efforts, Harry was rescued by Ron and his brothers, Fred and George. Harry had packed his bags and loaded the Weasleys' flying car. Harry and the brothers arrived at the Burrow in the early hours of the morning, hoping not to be noticed. However, they were, and Mrs. Weasley was furious.  Dobby's first attempt at stopping Harry from returning had failed, so he continued trying. When Harry and the Weasleys arrived at King's Cross Station, Dobby sealed the entrance early and stopped Harry and Ron from passing through the wall to get on the Hogwarts Express. However, this did not stop Harry from returning to Hogwarts, he and Ron used the Weasleys' Flying Ford Anglia to follow the train to Hogwarts. They arrived later than they had hoped, but all in one piece; until Ron accidentally drove the flying car into the Whomping Willow and broke his wand  However, Harry's year at Hogwarts was not going to get any better. Throughout the year, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, humiliated Harry repeatedly by dragging Harry into the spotlight against Harry's will. During a duelling class led by Lockhart, Harry revealed himself to his fellow students and members of staff to be a Parselmouth, an uncommon skill that is normally associated with dark wizards. This brought on a great deal of trouble for Harry, since the Chamber of Secrets had been re-opened, and it was the "Heir of Slytherin" who was deemed responsible. Once the chamber had been unsealed, there were various attacks on Muggle-born pupils, including Harry's best friend Hermione Granger. These attacks were believed to have been carried out by the heir, who many believed to be Harry, but Harry believed that Draco Malfoy was responsible. In order to prove their hypothesis, Hermione cooked up a Polyjuice Potion that Harry and Ron used to change to look like Crabbe and Goyle, so they could try to get information from Malfoy. They learned that Malfoy was not the heir and that he had no idea who the attacker was. Hermione, however, did not join the boys in this adventure as she had accidentally used a cat hair in her potion, causing her to spend weeks in the hospital wing. Prior to Valentine's Day, Harry discovered a diary, and while writing in it, Harry learned that the Chamber had been opened fifty years ago and that Hagrid had been accused of the crime  By this time, Hermione had a different theory. She believed that the monster responsible for these attacks was a basilisk and conducted research into her theory. The morning Hermione was attacked, she and Penelope Clearwater had been using a mirror to look around corners for any attacking predator. Hermione had done enough research to figure that the Basilisk had been moving around the school using the pipe system and scribbled her theory down on a scrap piece of paper torn out of a book. She was attacked the same day, and her paralysed body was taken to the school's hospital wing.
Still believing that if Hagrid were not responsible, he could at least point them in the right direction, Harry and Ron visited him after the attack on Hermione. From under the Cloak of Invisibility, they witnessed his arrest by Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and the suspension of Dumbledore. As Hagrid was being led away, he gave the pair a new clue. He told them to follow the spiders. Harry and Ron heeded this advice, even though Ron was deathly afraid of spiders. They met Aragog who told them that Hagrid was not responsible for opening the Chamber the first time and that the girl who died was killed in a bathroom, leading Harry to theorise that Moaning Myrtle was the victim. A few days later, Harry and Ron discovered the scrap of paper in Hermione's hand. Harry and Ron wondered how a big Basilisk would go around the school undetected, and then they saw the word "pipes."  Harry (and later Ron) would soon learn that the person responsible for opening the Chamber was in fact Ron's younger sister Ginny Weasley, under the control of a memory of Lord Voldemort by writing into his diary, forcing her to torment and vandalise the school. They also learned that she was being kept down in the Chamber and were told that her "skeleton would lie in the Chamber forever." Determined to rescue Ginny and hopefully catch the Heir and destroy the Basilisk, Harry, accompanied by Ron and Lockhart, was able to locate and open the Chamber using his Parseltongue abilities. Once they got down into the Chamber, it was not long before the cowardly Lockhart attempted to erase Harry and Ron's memories using Ron's broken wand; however, his spell backfired, and he erased his own memory. The Chamber roof caved in, separating Harry from Ron and Lockhart.  Separated from Ron and a now deluded Lockhart, Harry ventured on alone. Harry soon found Ginny's unconscious body lying on the floor of the Chamber. As he hoped she was not dead, he was greeted by Tom Riddle, who had come to a simulation of life from the memories stored in the diary. Revealing his history and true nature, Riddle set the basilisk upon him. Harry defeated the Basilisk with the help of Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, and Godric Gryffindor's Sword. However, Harry was bitten by the Basilisk. Fawkes flew over to Harry and wept upon his wound. As Phoenix tears have healing powers, Harry survived. Harry then stabbed the diary with the Basilisk fang to rid himself of Riddle, not knowing that he had just destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Once the emergency was over, Fawkes flew Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Lockhart to safety. Harry spoke with Dumbledore on the events that took place, and explained to him that Ginny was not to blame and that Lockhart was a fraud. Harry and Ron both received Awards for Special Services to the School and two-hundred points a piece for Gryffindor House.  After interpreting Dobby's strange actions in Dumbledore's office, Harry realised Lucius Malfoy was the ultimate culprit for opening the Chamber. Before term started, he had planted Tom Riddle's diary in Ginny's cauldron in the hope of indirectly opening the Chamber of Secrets. At this time, he did not know the diary was one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. Afterwards, Harry was able to trick Lucius into freeing his mistreated house-elf, Dobby, who had been attempting to protect Harry all year, by giving him one of his socks. Malfoy was subsequently sacked as a school governor.

In the summer of 1993, Sirius Black—who had been wrongly imprisoned twelve years earlier for allegedly betraying James and Lily Potter to Voldemort and killing twelve Muggles—escaped from Azkaban. This created a tense climate in the wizarding world, and many believed that killing Harry was the object of Black's escape. As such, he was treated leniently when, late in the summer, he inadvertently engorged his "Aunt" Marge. That evening he ran away from the Dursleys, and after an enlightening journey aboard the Knight Bus, he arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, where Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge was awaiting him. After spending two happy weeks at the Leaky Cauldron, Harry met up with his friends Ron and Hermione along with the entire Weasley family, who had just returned from a holiday in Egypt. That night, Harry overheard Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arguing and learned of the Ministry's fears that Harry was the target of Sirius Black.
Prior to their departure aboard the Hogwarts Express, Mr. Weasley pulled Harry aside and in no uncertain terms told Harry not to go looking for Black. Finding only one open compartment, Harry and his friends shared their ride with a new professor, Remus Lupin. The train suddenly stopped well before it should have and was searched by Dementors looking for Black. Harry reacted poorly to the appearance of the dementors, passing out, and beginning a pattern that would last most of the year. The following day, Harry and his classmates began their new classes. Among the first was Care of Magical Creatures in which, Hagrid, the new professor, taught them about hippogriffs. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy had not been listening when Hagrid lectured and was injured by the hippogriff, Buckbeak. In Harry's other new class, Divination, the professor, Sybill Trelawney made a habit of predicting Harry's demise. On the other hand, Professor Lupin soon proved to be an excellent teacher in Defence Against the Dark Arts, where he taught the students how to combat various dark creatures.  At Halloween, the third year students went on their first visit to Hogsmeade village. Harry was not allowed to go, as he had not had his permission form signed. In light of Harry's difficulties, Ron and Hermione, who had been fighting over Hermione's new cat, Crookshanks, put aside their differences. While his friends were enjoying themselves in Hogsmeade, Harry visited with Professor Lupin. A few weeks later, Harry played in the first Quidditch match of the year versus Hufflepuff. In the pouring rain and storms, the teams played until the Dementors invaded the field. In their presence, Harry tumbled off his broom fifty feet to the ground. His Nimbus 2000 was destroyed in the process. Knowing that Gryffindor would not win the Quidditch Cup, if he continued to collapse in the presence of the dementors, Harry asked Lupin to help teach him how to combat them.  Just before Christmas, the school had another Hogsmeade visit. This time Harry sneaked out of the castle using the Marauder's Map, which the Weasley twins presented to him in his time of need. During his illicit visit to Hogsmeade, Harry overheard a conversation between Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and several of the Hogwarts teachers. Fudge told them that Black had betrayed the Potters and that he was still Harry's godfather. This revelation caused Harry great distress. To relieve Harry of some of his troubles the trio went to visit Hagrid, where they learned that Buckbeak was to be put on trial, and they promised to help his defence. Soon after, on Christmas day, Harry received a Firebolt from an anonymous benefactor. Believing it to be from Sirius Black, Hermione reported it to Professor McGonagall, causing Harry and Ron to stop talking to her.  Following the break, Lupin began his lessons with Harry. While Harry made progress, he regretted his inability to create a true Patronus many lessons in. Soon after, Harry was given his Firebolt back by Professor McGonagall, and Harry decided it was high time to patch things up with Hermione. However, that same evening, Ron's rat, Scabbers, disappeared, and Crookshanks was blamed. The boys did not reconcile with her until after the next Hogsmeade visit, when Harry was almost caught. After receiving a stern talking to for sneaking out of the school, Harry and Ron emerged from Professor Lupin's office to find Hermione standing there looking distraught. She told them that Lucius Malfoy had used his influence and Buckbeak had been convicted and sentenced to execution.  The Quidditch final was soon upon them, and Harry played in the dirtiest game of his career. He managed to catch the Golden Snitch after Gyrffindor was sufficiently ahead, and Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup. They could not celebrate for long as finals were right around the corner. Harry did well enough in the tests, and following his last final in Divination, Professor Trelawney went into a trance and predicted that the servant would return to Lord Voldemort and help him return to power. The same day, Buckbeak's appeal had taken place in the castle, where the hippogriff was, again, sentenced to death. Against the advice of Hagrid, the trio went down to his cabin to comfort him. While there, Scabbers resurfaced. When he discovered that the Ministry officials were on their way, Hagrid rushed Harry, Ron, and Hermione out the back. While they made their way back to the castle, the sound of a swishing blade rent the air, and Buckbeak was apparently executed.  Immediately afterwards, Scabbers bit Ron and attempted to escape, causing Ron to chase the rat into the shadow of the Whomping Willow. Once there, he was attacked by a large black dog who dragged Ron and Scabbers into a tunnel under the Willow. Harry and Hermione followed them into the tunnel, which led them to the Shrieking Shack. There, they followed the sound of Ron and discovered him in an upstairs bedroom, where they were ambushed by Sirius Black, who was a Animagus that turned into a dog. They were saved by Professor Lupin, but then the situation turned on its head when he embraced Black like a brother, and they began talking about the long dead Peter Pettigrew. When asked to explain, they revealed that Lupin, Black, and Pettigrew went to Hogwarts with Harry's father, James, that they had all become amimagi to help Lupin with his Lycanthropy, and that in fact Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potters. This was proven when Black and Lupin forced Scabbers to become Pettigrew. After questioning he confessed, but Harry prevented Black and Lupin from killing him.  Determined to turn Pettigrew over, the whole group set off for the castle. Along the way, the moon came out from behind the clouds, and Lupin transformed into a werewolf, since he had not drunk his Wolfsbane Potion. Seeing the danger, Black used his Animagus powers to protect Harry and his friends, but was badly injured. When Harry and Hermione went to look for him, hundreds of Dementors fell upon them, trying to perform the Dementor's Kiss both on Sirius and him. Sirius quickly passed out, as Harry tried casting Expecto Patronum(using the thought that he would leave the Dursleys and move with Sirius to try and conjure it) and tried to make Hermione think of something happy and cast it as well, but neither could do it. The Dementor's were quickly descending on, and as Harry finally conjured a fog Patronus, Hermione passed out leaving Harry to fight the Dementor's alone. After trying to hold them off, Harry was quickly overwhelmed. The Dmentor's descended on him, Sirius, and Hermione. Then one Dementor grabbed Harry by the throat and attempted to perform the kiss on him. Harry then heard his mother screaming in his ears, thinking that she would be the last thing he ever heard when a mysterious figure on the other side of the lake casted a powerful Patronus sending away all of the Dementors saving Harry, Sirius, and Hermione. Harry then began to think the mysterious stranger was his father when he passed out. Later Harry and Hermione awoke to find themselves in the infirmary and that Sirius was about to be subjected to the Dementor's Kiss. They pleaded with Dumbledore who instructed them that nothing could be done without more time. With this clue, Hermione grabbed Harry and used her Time-Turner to send them back in time. Once there, they hid out until the time was right to rescue Buckbeak, who they saved just prior to his execution.  Afterwards, they waited for the appropriate moment to save Sirius. While they sat in the woods, Harry tried to tell Hermione that he thought that his father might have saved them. When she reminded him that his father was dead, Harry dropped the subject. They ran for safety to Hagrid's hut when the werewolf Lupin was on the loose, and Harry, desperate to see who saved him, left to observe the situation. Harry arrived at the lake watching the dementors attack his past self as he watched, until in a flash of clarity, Harry realised that he cast the Patronus Charm that saved his life and stepping forward, Harry cast the Patronous and produced a fully fledged stag Patronus that drove all of the dementors back saving his past self, Hermione, and Sirius. Once reunited with Hermione the pair rode Buckbeak to Sirius's window and rescued him.

The next year was a very long year.  Starting out seeming like a normal year, it turned disastrous fast as Dumbledore caught the parchment out of the Goblet of Fire, holding his name.  First task went well, because of Hagrid and Harry's wan to be fair.  He told Cedric what the first task was because everyone else already knew.  Then Moody helped out.  The second task was hard to figure out.  After a hint from Diggory, Harry learned he would have to breathe under water for awhile.  Neville Longbottom, helped him find the gillyweed needed and Harry competed.  Harry, although risking his life, saved two instead of one hostage.  This gained the judges and Fleur's thanks.  The third task proved disastrous most of all.  Fleur was taken out, because Harry found her helpless and would've died if Harry hadn't done anything.  Krum was cursed by Moody.  Cedric and Harry both grabbed the cup together.  There they were teleported to a graveyard.  There Peter Pettirew killed Cedric and used Harry to revive Voldemort.  Harry narrowly escaped because of his and Voldemort's twin cores.  He took Cedric's body back, and then was taken by Moody.  Turns out Moody wasn't Moody at all, but Barty Crouch Junior, a Death Eater.  Harry was saved by Dumbledore.  Then Harry gave his winnings to the Weasley twins.  

That ended the disastrous year leading to another disastrous year.  It was Harry's fifth tear now.  He came a far way from that boy in the cupboard.  The ministry insisted that he was a liar, because he claimed Voldemort was back.  They sent an old hag named Dolores Umbridge to watch Higwarts.  Harry formed the army known as Dumbledore's Army.  In it included many of the so called elementals.  Then Umbridge found out, and Dumbledore fled.  Soon Harry had a vision that Voldemort was torturing his god-father, and Harry set out to save him. Though he did not like it, Harry was accompanied by many in the DA.  Ten it turned all wrong.  It was a trapped and Sirius died.  The prophecy was crushed and the year came halting to a stop.  Dumbledore explained the prophecy.  Harry blamed himself for Sirius' death. 

And now it's his 6th year at Hogwarts, and these elementals came out.  At first he was ok with it, you know since there really wasn't anything bad about it.  Plus he had friends.  He actually would have admitted that the ability would have been really cool.  Now, ever since he found Ginny dabbling in the Dark Arts, unknown to him for a class, he doesn't trust any of them.  None of them can be trusted.   He had saved that girl from death an this is how she repaid him.  Harry yelled at her, feeling that she had planned it from the very start.  He was pissed off, and he knew that it was time to act.  He declared that he was against them all.  Everyone, when offered power as great as that will corrupt, no matter how strong they are.  One of them could be the next Dark Lord ad he didn't want to get close to them and be betrayed once more.

better have looks or brains
everything else is trivial.

Roleplay Sample:
It was a beautiful Sunday out in the world of wizards.  Completely opposite of what it should be with all the trouble of these elementals and Voldemort.  What Harry couldn't believe was Ginny Weasley was one of them.  He hated this fact.  Neville was one as well, and Luna.  The others he didn't care too much about, especially Cho.  Harry knew that in the end all this power would get to them, an he wouldn't be betrayed once more because they have all this power.  Power distorts a person, and Harry didn't wan to get too close and then be crushed, or unable to stop them when the time came.  The elementals were either joining Voldemort, or going to make their own war eventually.  Even Ginny.

Ginny would be one of the hardest to stop.  She was his best friend's sister, and well something deep inside was crushed when he found out Ginny was one of them.  He would not be able to stop her, or Luna and Neville, but that didn't bother him at this moment.

Harry was in complete turmoil as he thought about these elementals.  He was walking up to the clock tower hoping the heights could scare some sense into him.   But alas, the clock tower was not enough.  Harry leaned against the edge of the clock and looked out at the grounds and sighed.  It was a mess inside, but beautiful outside.  The sun was a bright fiery ball in the sky, heating the sky to a perfect temperature of 72 degrees. The grass was green and the lake was a deep sapphire blue reflecting the rays of the sun from above.  Even the forest looked bright.  Why can't he just have a normal life?  Why can't he get away from all this drama?  Why did it have to be him?
