overall personality,

Ryan is a partier, and by that I mean get drunk, sleep with everyone there, then pass out. He goes hard. The only problem is, he cuts off his genius brain by doing this, which is perhaps the only reason he is in Ravenclaw. He also doesn't get to party much, because of his lasck of friends. He has a mouth that runs away with him at times, and he might say something that he doesn’t mean to you at any time. He can’t tell when you’re offended, not because he’s dumb, but because he’s never really thought about it. It doesn’t bother him when someone insults him.

He is also very secretive, but often tells too many of his secrets. He loves women, but only because of his soft spot for them. He is also an artistic genius. He does okay in school, but always just barely passing. He has a completely neutral outlook on life. He will defend his friends to his very last breath as hard as he can and is not afraid to fight for what he believes in.

overall history,

Ryan grew up in a middle class family in Ireland. They paid the bills, and didn’t have amny struggles financially. He had a genuinely happy childhood, until around nine years of age. He normally got what he wanted and was the perfect child.

When he was eight years old, he found out he was getting a little brother, and his name would be Blake. He was overjoyed, because he had never had a sibling in his eight years of living. One year later, three months after his mother gave birth to Blake, both parents caught a previously unheard of disease and passed away. Ryan and Blake were placed in an orphanage.

One week after moving into the orphanage, Blake also passed from the same disease. Ryan had extensive tests done on him to make sure he didn’t have the same disease that had killed his entire family. He tested negative on all results, and was sent back to the orphanage.

While there, he developed his rebellious attitudes and transformed from the perfect little child to a rock hard type of person. This was when he was around ten years old, and also when he first developed his love for music and art.

When he was eleven, he received his letter from Hogwarts and was overjoyed at the chance to escape that orphanage. He was sorted into Ravenclaw. He coasted through the first five years of his time at Hogwarts without a hitch, enjoying life and not thinking about his past. He never really made any friends and became quite the loner.

After he was sent back to the 70's, he was actually quite excited. He had always wanted to go back around ten or twenty years to see the big hair bands and such. He was just bummed he went back ten years too much. He will very much enoy the styles andpeople of the 70's, who will probably see him as crazy as hell. He's also onfused as hell as to why he was sent back with Harry Potter and his gang, since he wasn't really one of them. He plans to investigate this matter extensively.

roleplay sample. Ryan walked down the lonely street to the church with the graveyard. He had left his parents a while back, and didn't know where they headed off to. As he walked, he looked around the lonely street and saw no one walking around. He thought that odd in the middle of the day, but nonetheless continued to walk down the empty street.

Once he got to the graveyard, he turned in to see all of the graves, some taken care of, others forgotten long ago. He went straight to where he knew Lily and James Potters' graves were. He stared for a moment at the crumbled edges of the tombstone that Lily and James shared. He wished he knew where Sirius Black were buried, as he seemed more Ryan’s type. It would be much easier to speak to someone like him. Someone wise, but at the same time just like a kid. Ryan wished he had someone like that for him. Ryan looked around behind him and then turned to the grave once more.
He walked closer to the grave and looked at it for a moment, remembering all that he had heard about the Battle of Hogwarts and all the events leading up to it. He looked at the grave and spoke.

"I know my problems seem horribly small compared to the one's you had, so I don't think I'm going to speak to you about them. I know you both went to Hogwarts, and I need the courage to continue on. I don't expect heavenly answers or anything from talking to your graves, but I figure it will help me keep what sanity I have left. I hate this feeling inside of me. Loneliness and despair. I wish I could be brave like your son, or smart like Hermione Granger was. I honestly don't know why I was picked for Hogwarts. I have nothing to offer. But there I go, dumping my problems on you, like I said I wouldn't. I must head off now. Thanks for listening." He smiled and walked away.

As he left the graveyard, he turned to his right and faced none other than the spot where the very two people he had just been talking to died and gave birth to their first and only son. He walked up to the gate and felt a tear rolling down his cheek. He wiped it away and turned around to go find his parents.

Welcome!

You've hit all the minimums for the application, so don't be discouraged now! There's only a few things I'd like to question you about/have you tidy some edges up.

I think there's some cohesiveness issues. He's a jerk and a rather mean person with no filter, but he also manages to be a romantic? Girls may love an a-hole, but they don't call him romantic. Perhaps if you add something about having a soft spot for women because of his mother or something along those lines...? But then again, he also loves to sleep with tons of chicks at parties, so perhaps you'll have to think about this.

Now, perhaps you've never really hung out with a lot of hardcore-partying-stoners, but none of them can just coast/glide through school, while partying, and receive okay/decent grades. They have to work their butts off in the time they're sober to study and get homework done. Keep in mind if they really like to party...they'd rather not be studying. I'm wondering if Ravenclaw (and the mentions of his so called okay grades) is your best bet with Shane. :)

I'd also like to see you add a bit about being sent back to the 70's in your application. It's a pretty...momentous and important part of what's gone on in his life, don't you think?

Okay! So see- not much to fix! Just a few little things that didn't flow right. Feel free to ask questions in the cbox!

Is that any better?
