OOC INFORMATION:

What’s your name? Bless

Preferred Pronouns: he/him

Timezone: EDT/GMT+1

IC INFORMATION:

Character Name: Orion Sirius Black

What’s a hobby or pastime that your character enjoys: Sirius’ most proud possession and the thing he spends most of his time on is his motorbike. He owns a 1972 Triumph Bonneville, a zippy 5-speed cafe racer, which he has modified to increase the output to 900cc. He is currently holding off on making it fly. That would require a full rebuild and the total takeover of the Potter shed, which no one is ready for just yet.

Do you have any preferred ships or anti-ships?: Chemistry-based, completely open. Sirius is not one to get attached, so ships beware.

What do you think your character’s Boggart would be? If their greatest fear isn’t something that could easily take a solid form, what is it? Why?: Sirius used to have his father as his boggart. When he was young, his father was the strongest dominant presence in his life. His father took corporal punishment seriously and his family loomed over all aspects of his life. Now, Sirius’ boggart has changed to his new family, James and Lily. In his greatest fears, his friends finally see him as a worthless fraud and cast him aside, shunning him forever. More vividly, James spits at him and tells him to get out and that he never wants to see him again. And in this fear, Sirius knows James means it.

What’s your character’s biggest pet peeve?: Sirius can be irritable when he is in one of his moods. So his list of pet peeves can be long, depending on how he’s feeling internally. The one that stays constant is hating when people tell him what to do. He spent half his life forced to do things he didn’t want to, or being bossed around, or poked and prodded. He is still quite sensitive to people, especially people of authority telling him what to do. Dumbledore is a respected presence in the Order, but Sirius has little trust for older men in general.

What would you consider to be an eccentricity of your character?: Sirius’ wagging tongue. His sense of humour is often trying on people’s nerves, especially if they are at the tail end of it. The Marauders have gotten used to it by now, but the badly timed one-liners can still be a bit much. He uses his humour to deal with his own emotions and its comes in the form of crude attacks at the people he loves most. Its also quite immature but at this point, it’d be too much of an effort to stop. Besides, he loves the reaction.

What is/was your character’s favorite subject in school? Why?: Sirius didn’t really fancy school. He hated feeling like he was being judged by teachers who marked his tests. He was smart but he couldn’t be bothered to try. He liked any class that he could move around in, but defence against the dark arts provided ample time to goof around with his mates while also learning cool spells.

What time of day is your character’s favorite? What time of year?: Sirius loves Christmas, despite having to go home for it. The holiday has always been his favourite and so December (winter), is his favourite time of year. His favourite time of day is the early afternoon. Although he is most productive at night, he hates having to get to sleep. And mornings are never long enough for sleeping, or he’s too foggy when he gets up to do anything. By around the afternoon, he’s usually full and going about his day.

What’s your character’s Patronus? If they can’t conjure one, what would it be if they could? Why?: Sirius is working on being able to cast a patronus. Its a difficult spell and not to mention there are no emotional “cheats” he can use. One has to be fully open and honest and thats a scary thing for Sirius to do, even with himself. His spirit is definitely a dog, to match his animagus. He’s loyal, but also reckless and wild. He also has a bit of an attitude.

What is your character’s biggest vice (bad habit or immoral craving)?: His biggest vice is definitely his sense of humour. He relies on it to get out of pretty much every situation. Its really hard for him to show love and accept love from the people around him. Its easier just to push them away with insults, disguised under jokes. In terms of a physical vice, he drinks a lot. And he really likes sex. He just wants to let go and have fun, shrugging off all the negative. This sometimes helps, but it can become a bit excessive and self-destructive. He will do pretty much anything to get away from his feelings.

Is your character an introvert or extrovert? How well do they handle social situations?: Sirius is definitely an extrovert. He likes having a lot of people around him. When he’s alone, he’s easily bored and distracted and moody. He needs attention (good or bad) from people around him and he can’t get that when he’s alone. He also starts thinking when he’s not with others, which defeats a lot of his coping mechanisms. At a party, Sirius is found on the dance floor. He enjoys the pounding music in his ears and fanny all around him. He likes to drink (social occasions make him drink a lot), and show off. As it starts to die off and he gets tired, he’d disappear outside with James for a fag, or the Marauders would split to find somewhere else to go. Sirius has an ease about him that just draws people in. They won’t get to know the real Sirius though, no one does.

What is your character’s diet like? What’s his or her favorite food?: Sirius eats everything. His diet is your entire fridge. He really likes chips and gravy, or sweets. He also sometimes has cravings from his pureblood days for really fancy cheeses and wine. He hates to admit that he still suffers from “purebloodisms” from time to time.

How do you think your character’s psychological issues have manifested and changed your character up to this point?: Sirius has a lot of trouble sleeping. This has gotten worse as the war picked up. He used to have trouble sleeping while he was still at home, but the nightmares disappeared once he moved out. To his dismay, they’re back again with a vengeance. This has made him really frustrated with himself, and he feels stuck in his past. Sirius feels like he can’t get close to anyone. He doesn’t know how to open up, how to love, how to show someone he cares about them. He doesn’t even realize he’s this way. All he knows is that he’s really lonely. His recklessness is at its usual high, but he seems to have just given into it. He’s not really trying to control his anger or his wild side right now, focusing on just letting go to have fun. How long can he ignore things before they just go away? He’s stubborn enough to try.

Give us a headcanon for your character: - Although people often think of Sirius as being very impulsive, he has a lot of trouble making important decisions. It takes him a long time to process things and  when the stakes are high, theres no hiding behind banter and anger. - Anger: Sirius has never been taught how to deal with anger, aside from violent outbursts and manipulation. As a result, when Sirius gets angry, he tends to get violent. His anger management is something he’s working on however, and he is very much aware of how similar he is to his father. - Luckily, his pride often works in conjunction with his “sense of humour,” and he doesn’t get angry too often. - Pride: Sirius is very much a “Black,” despite having escaped his place at the head of the table. The only thing scarier than an angry Sirius Black, is the lengths he’ll go to, to save face. False bravado, cockiness, arrogance, “fuckboy attitude,” and sense of humour are all tools used to deflect deflect deflect. - The Marauders know what buttons to push to get him going, and it might even be comical to some the lengths this Black will go to, to spin a story, deflect attention (or bask in it), or flat out make fun of anything possible, to keep his pride. But beware how far you can push him, Sirius explodes like a canon and there no safety. - Disco: His favourite type of music, despite often wearing band tees or listening to British punk, is actually disco. He likes the beat, he loves to dance, and he’s quite fond of the “escape” it provides.
