The Great Character Survey: 2020 Revival Edition
#49
CHARACTER NAME: Calla Mesa Potts
BECAUSE… Calla was my first character here on the board and I really wanted a character who had played connections as my first character as well as a student who I could take the time to develop before they were sorted. I was also really drawn to her personality and hobbies.

CREATION DATE: March 4, 2017
BIRTH YEAR: 1875
PLANNED DEMISE: Have you thought about how/when they will die?
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Hufflepuff
While now I could see Calla nowhere but in Hufflepuff, when she was approaching sorting I honestly wasn't sure where she would end up. I only knew it wouldn't be Ravenclaw. Though now if I could pick a house I couldn't see her fitting in would be Slytherin though Ravenclaw is still pretty low on the list. I think what really makes her far more a Hufflepuff than a Gryffindor is that while she displays many traits of both, she values those of Hufflepuff far more.
BOGGART:
AMORTENTIA:
PATRONUS: Obviously a lot of characters won’t be able to cast one, but if they could!
RESIDENCE: Thimblewhit Turn, Hogsmeade

ASOIF/GOT HOUSE: if someone wants to tell me where calla would fit hit me up
DIVERGENT FACTION: Amity

CLOSEST RELATION: Likely @'daffodil potts' and Aria Belby though she might also be fairly close to Dahlia and Gabriella as well.
BEST FRIEND: Sloane Bixby and Sisse Thompsett
NEMESIS: Likely a tie between Holly Scrimgeour and Elijah Urquart though she doesn't actually hate or dislike either
MOST OFTEN POSTED WITH: Sisse Thompsett
I DREAM OF POSTING WITH… Who haven’t you threaded them with before that you would like to thread them with?

IN THE MODERN AGE… What would their life be like if they lived today—without magic!—instead of in the VE?
DURING THE WAR… What would their life be like if they lived circa the second wizarding war?

THOUGHTS ON MUGGLES:
THOUGHTS ON BLOOD PURITY:
THOUGHTS ON ARRANGED MARRIAGES:
THOUGHTS ON CLASS DISTINCTION:

PROGRESS SO FAR: What has happened to your character since they were accepted. Meeting randoms is boring and so doesn't count; look at things like marriage, children, job changes, deaths, adventures, imprisonments, affairs, changes in viewpoints, etc.

IMMEDIATE GOALS: Can be theirs or yours for them!
LONG-TERM GOALS: Can be theirs or yours for them!

CHARACTER NAME: Acacia Queen Ruskin
BECAUSE… She was my first character ever on board. As many of you know, I like my special babies. And I was super obsessed with vampires at the time, so there you go.

CREATION DATE: June 7, 2016 (Accepted June 9, 2016)
BIRTH YEAR: 1871
PLANNED DEMISE: If this girl isn't a victim of murder for her half-breed status, then probably old age or illness
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Ravenclaw
BOGGART: One of her siblings or father being murdered in front of her. The face of the murder is unclear, but they are yelling hatred over halfbreeds.
AMORTENTIA: Fresh paint, wet grass after rain, unknown scent
PATRONUS: I'm not entirely sure. A fox?
RESIDENCE: Sweeting Street, Bartonburg North, Hogsmeade

ASOIF/GOT HOUSE: Abnegation
DIVERGENT FACTION: Starks

CLOSEST RELATION: Chrysanta Ruskin - They haven’t always gotten along, but I feel that they've been through the most together
BEST FRIEND: I think her best friend is her crush Ignatius Quirrell
NEMESIS: Daisy Mohr, so please bring her back All the half-breed haters, in general
MOST OFTEN POSTED WITH: I think Chrysanta and Ignatius tie for her attention
I DREAM OF POSTING WITH… Right now? Martin Ruskin for the establishment. Also wanna hurl her at eligable men.

IN THE MODERN AGE… W/o magic means probably no vampirism. So with that, her parents probably had a normal marriage, or Lisa left for other reasons, but Martin and co. had modern societal norms that probably would have helped them cope. Nevertheless, I still see her as maternal. Probably in college and debating between a career as a doctor or artist.
DURING THE WAR… Um, nerve-wracking? She'd be a half-breed in a Voldemort era. Probably focusing on trying to convince her father to take them out of the country the moment Harry announces Voldy is back. Screw the profit, they probably never framed half-breeds in the best light anyway.

THOUGHTS ON MUGGLES: Mostly "please don't hurt me", but other than that she doesn't really think too much about them
THOUGHTS ON BLOOD PURITY: Bleh
THOUGHTS ON ARRANGED MARRIAGES: Um... if it helps her and her sisters find a match? She does prefer love, but will go for practical
THOUGHTS ON CLASS DISTINCTION: Hard to deal with at times, though fair

PROGRESS SO FAR:
  • Half-Breed ban
  • Lots of developmental drama between her and Acacia
  • Her crush on Ignatius
  • Her mother dying
  • Graduating a year late
  • Being a half-vampire who works as an intern in a hospital
  • Her father remarrying

    IMMEDIATE GOALS: Hurling, half-breed drama
    LONG-TERM GOALS: Gimme some hospital drama. Blame the half-breed. Is she revealed to be innocent? Must her own father fire her/resign? Other than that, I'm just going with the flow at this point

IN THE MODERN AGE… She'd probably be in college right now, still trying to decide what she wanted to be when she 'grows up'

CHARACTER NAME: Friendless Night
BECAUSE… I had him in mind for a long time after finishing the Captive Prince books and side stories. He is inspired by Ancel, a character in it that was one of my favorites.

CREATION DATE: March 3, 2020
BIRTH YEAR: 1872
PLANNED DEMISE: No but it will likely be some std or due to being a werewolf.
HOGWARTS HOUSE: They did not attend but I feel like he'd be a Slytherin maybe? I get Slytherpuff vibes.
BOGGART: Being fat and ugly.
AMORTENTIA: chocolate, whiskey, mens cologne
PATRONUS: Maybe a rabbit?
RESIDENCE: The streets

ASOIF/GOT HOUSE: n/a
DIVERGENT FACTION: n/a

CLOSEST RELATION: Has none
BEST FRIEND: He doesn't have one because he doesn't let people get that close. He's pals with people like Florence Fox though so similar types might also be friends.
NEMESIS: The Winter chill
MOST OFTEN POSTED WITH: Benjamin Woodcroft at this point xD
I DREAM OF POSTING WITH… Anyone tbh

IN THE MODERN AGE… He would probably be a golddigger, seducing and becoming the lover of rich, old men.
DURING THE WAR… Dead, probably XD

THOUGHTS ON MUGGLES: They're fun!
THOUGHTS ON BLOOD PURITY: None at all
THOUGHTS ON ARRANGED MARRIAGES: They're idiotic but needed for the bougie, he supposes
THOUGHTS ON CLASS DISTINCTION: It's stupid

PROGRESS SO FAR: Djura won a night with him in a card game. He was attacked by a werewolf and left for dead but was saved by a dude Beanie is making who is also one of his regulars. Became a werewolf. Got entangled into a barfight alongside Cyrus Westerman and Benjamin Woodcroft. Got caught stealing bakery bread by Benjamin Woodcroft and now he's either flirting with or taunting him. I honestly don't know which but I do know he's having fun messing with Benjamin. xD

Somewhere in there, he also got hired for nude modeling but it wasn't threaded so I can't remember it's spot in the timeline.

IMMEDIATE GOALS: Get more threads, I always have such muse for him.
LONG-TERM GOALS: Fall in love because that would really fuck him up. He does not want it.

CHARACTER NAME: Tycho Dodonus
BECAUSE… I have been playing around with the idea of a Seer that does not quite take his own gift seriously. That plays up being a 'psychic'. I had also been playing around with the idea of some sort of author/poet type upper class gent. I came across Tycho Dodonus and decided to combine my ideas since he fit the mold perfectly.

CREATION DATE: Accepted on April 23, 2021
BIRTH YEAR: 1869
PLANNED DEMISE: He will live to be an eccentric old man that forgets to wear pants on the reg.
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Slytherin.
BOGGART: Himself, being driven insane by his own visions.
AMORTENTIA: Scotch, cologne, rosewater
PATRONUS: Mink
RESIDENCE: Wellingtonshire but also has a home in London but his parents live there.

ASOIF/GOT HOUSE: Idk
DIVERGENT FACTION: idk

CLOSEST RELATION: His mother, maybe?
BEST FRIEND: He has not been in play long enough for me to answer this. xD
NEMESIS: See above
MOST OFTEN POSTED WITH: Fortitude Greengrass
I DREAM OF POSTING WITH… Everyone! He already has thread plans with Savino Zabini

IN THE MODERN AGE… he would probably be one of those Instagram stars that read tarot cards online.
DURING THE WAR… He'd fight but like, begrudgingly.

THOUGHTS ON MUGGLES: They are gullible and adorable. He is definitely not purist in the sense that most purebloods tend to be, at least.
THOUGHTS ON BLOOD PURITY: It's idiotic.
THOUGHTS ON ARRANGED MARRIAGES: Keep them away from me.
THOUGHTS ON CLASS DISTINCTION: He doesn't think about it but he does have a bit of a ignorance that comes with being born rich.

PROGRESS SO FAR: got caught out utilizing his ghost bestie to find marks by Ford.

IMMEDIATE GOALS: Have fun.
LONG-TERM GOALS: See above.

LOL LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY DRAFTS FOLDER, IT'S THIS HALF-FINISHED CHARACTER SURVEY FROM APRIL 2021.

CHARACTER NAME: Fortitude Isaac Greengrass
BECAUSE… Bridgerton, basically. The idea of a brother who was in charge of getting his sisters married but also really bad at it just spoke to me. Also my spirit div muse had been lurking in my mind for years <3

CREATION DATE: technically December 2020 but only by a few days I think
BIRTH YEAR: 1866
PLANNED DEMISE: You know what I think about a lot more often than how Ford will die is: will Ford become a ghost? And the answer is probably not but you never know, depends on how close he is with his ghost friends by then :P
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Hufflepuff
BOGGART: 4-5 established boggarts (he deals with them a lot for work!) Including: veela (loss of impulse control), witch's ganglion (being unsure of his own feelings), Noble dying (being left alone), Noble poisoning himself (failing his family)
AMORTENTIA: Unknown
PATRONUS: Can cast a wisp! Unsure what form it'll take and I'm waiting to discover it IC~
RESIDENCE: North Bartonburg

ASOIF/GOT HOUSE: Wow it has been a long time since I read them but maybe Stark??
DIVERGENT FACTION: The grey clothes, we sacrifice ourselves for others one.

CLOSEST RELATION: Noble!

NEMESIS: lmaoooooooo
MOST OFTEN POSTED WITH: I'm pretty sure it's Cash but I didn't check
