The Basics:
If available, post a picture of your character here.
Full Character Name: Tony Ripred Black
Likes to be called: Ripred
Birthdate: 9th June 1782
Age: 11
Residence: He lived on the streets with his mother; begging or stealing for food. His home is in a broken down condition. Bits of blankets were the only "furniture" in the cardboard-made house. It was a tough world for him, living in the streets, learning to survive day by day. His friends called him Ripred as he was known for his fighting skills; gradually, he adopted "Ripred" as his middle name.
Blood: Half-blood
Social Class/father’s occupation: His father ran out on them when he was 6, so he has a bitter attitude towards his father, and the unfairness of the world.[/i]
Believes in fairness very strongly. He is very loyal towards friends, can be shy with strangers, but chooses to distrust people unless they have proven themselves worthy of his trust. Chooses to observe before acting on something.
Emotional Disposition: When he's in a good mood, he takes a amused mood to view the world, joking about with his close friends. But he had been deeply hurt by his father's betrayal and for those who know him well, is always in an unsatisfied/unhappy mood. When he is in a bad mood, which is often, he would snap at anyone who talks to him.
Core Value: Angry.
Positive Characteristics: He is fiercely loyal towards his friends and is willing to go to any measure to protect them.
Negative Characteristics: He distrusts people and makes it very hard for people to go near him.
Conflict and hardship: Struggling to survive. He is very poor and as such, has to go to illegal means such as stealing to provide for both his mother and himself. However, it goes against his moral, so he is in distress every time he has to steal food or money.
Motivation, Passion and Drive: He wants to have a nice home for his mother,and a stable family. This dream gives him cause to work hard to earn enough money to buy a nice house for his mother.
Motto or catchphrase: You can't depend on anyone to do anything; you have to do it yourself.
Overall personality: He is very loyal towards his friends. For example, once, when his friend ran into trouble with a gang, he bravely stood up for his friend and helped him in the fight against the gang even though he knew he might not come out alive. He is a good friend. Some might say he was either very brave, or very stupid.
Diary Entry: Noooo! We have ran out of food again. Should I go and steal food? My friends all seem to have no problem committing this crime but I feel that it's really wrong. I mean I enjoy the risks and everything that comes with it but it just seems unfair to those I'm stealing from. Oh well, it really can't be helped, we do need to eat. Later!

The Appearance
First Impression: He looks dangerous. I must stay away from him.
On Second thought..: He actually looks kinda cute, and he looks honest and vulnerable.
Overall Appearance: He is dressed in a oversized black T-shirt, ripped and torn jeans, and goes around barefooted. He had messy black hair that he cuts himself. However, because of a lack of time, it's normally longer than it should be. Ripred has gray eyes that seem to pierce through you and was 1.58m tall. Although, he was lean, he was also strong from all the street fights that were part of his everyday life. A long white scar ran from his shoulder to to nook of his elbow.

Specific Questions for Halfbloods:
My mother, obviously. Or else I wouldn't even know that the magical world existed.
Er, hello? It's just my mother and me, remember?
My mother probably keeps all her magical items in the backpack that I'm not allowed near to. I don't have much of a house so I would say this question is pretty insensitive.
Too busy surviving to care.
Haven't really experienced it much, so quite surprised when I got the letter to Hogwarts. But hey, better food and lodgings, why should I say no to Hogwarts?
Oh yeah, by the way, sorry, I deleted the questions. But you should be able to figure out the question by yourself right?
Student Skills:
School Ethic: Too poor to go to school, but his mother taught me several things.
Teacher Relation: Respect them, but dares to argue his point.
Work Ethic and Diligence: Quite smart, so he adapts quickly to the homework load and finishes them quickly so he always appears very free to others.

Where don't you want to be: I don't want to be in Hufflepuff.
