About You What should we call you? Nikky What is your gender? Female How can we get in touch with you? kriticul@yahoo.com How did you know we were here? I saw the character request for Remus Lupin on NeoPets. Did you read all of the rules? Yeahhh Show us a sample post, from any game. A recent one would be nice. Doesn’t have to be the character you’re applying for.
How many characters do you currently have on this board? Nonee. I think Remus will be my one and only until I get the hang of this place. Anything else you want to tell us before we begin? I love you? I have a travelling toe, and I was part of a flea circus. About Your Character Basics Full name: Remus John Lupin Nicknames: Moony, Remmy, Rem, Remikins, Bookworm, Nerd, Goober, the list goes on for a while, really. Ancestry: Half-blood. Tara, his mother is a muggle. John, his father a wizard. Remus, however, compares himself to a halfbreed. Gender: Male Age: Fifteen Birthday: March 10, 1960 Sorted into: Gryffindor Who do you follow? Everyone, in complete honesty. Although Remus is seem primarily with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, Remus is generally a folksy person and is more than willing to talk to anyone. Wand: 10 and 1/2in, Cedar and Unicorn Hair. Useful for Hexes. Personal Sexuality: Remus finds himself to be unsure in the area of sexuality. For such reason he does not dwell too often on the matter. Likes:
Dislikes:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Goals: His biggest goal by far would be to deflate the minds of both James Potter and Sirius Black. Merlin knows how many times he's ended up in trouble, slapped, cursed, hexed, and chased because of them. Not that Remus is completely innocent, and truth be told it is fun, but he refuses to say that he has deserved the amount of oddities that he has recieved over the years. In addition, it can be said that Remus wishes to grow more of a spine for himself. He's weak in the area of saying 'no', which would provide reason as to why he gets in so much trouble. As for yearly goals, discovering what James, Sirius, and Peter are talking about behind his back would be nice. As of late its been quite the nerve-wracker for him. Fears: Remus is terrified of being abandoned. Losing his friends is something that would send the boy on the edge. For years he has suffered the curse of being alone, locked up in a room with not so much as a soul to talk to. The boy, however, is also terrified of harming his friends. He is somewhat in a paradox as far as his fears go. To make friends would mean facing the chance of hurting them. To save them from monster he thinks he is would mean to be alone. Tics, Quirks & Habits: He bites his lip when nervous or in thought, puffs his chest when angry, and has at least six chocolate stashes hidden about the school. Remus is notourious for his candy cravings, and will always be seen with something sugary and sweet in his mouth. His obsession with perfection might also count as a quirk. Pet Peeves: Stink. Remus can not stand any amount of stick. Dorming with Sirius and James during the school years means Remus playing house-wife in cleaning the dorm up, setting sweet-smelling charms, and often staying out all day to keep from vomitting. In addition, he can not stand women who acts like whores, men who believe themselves to be tools, or creepily obsessed women. Sirius Black is the only exception to these things, and even with him will Remus scoff and make crude remarks. Favorite sounds and smells: His favorite smells consist of vanilla, spice, cedar, leather, old books, and fresh parchment. For reasons he will not dwell on, Remus also enjoys the coppery scent of blood and fresh meat. In the sound department, he is quite fond of the sound of firecrackers and crunching leaves. Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like? Remus's boggart takes the shape of the full moon. He discovered this at the age of eight when he and his father tried to get rid of one. It's a terrible thing to him and in a personal aspect represents his abnormality, the fact that he is a beast, and if anyone found out the complete lonliness he felt as a child. Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use? After spending so much time on studies, Remus is capable of a Patronus in some cases. It takes the shape of a unicorn, represting something pure and innocent, much what he wishes he was. Remus has yet to find a memory that is sufficient enough to keep the animal for long. Currently he uses the time in his first year when he met James, Peter, and Sirius. What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward? The god-awful day that Remus was bitten is by far his worst memory. It was a night that changed him forever, and such a memory is one that Remus hates recalling. He can hear his young screams, the tearing, the shredding, everything that makes Lupin's stomach turn. If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? Himself under a full moon, surrounded by friends, and not undergoing the painful process of tranforming. All Remus has wanted in life was to fit in. Tell me a couple secrets about yourself: His patronus is a unicorn, and Remus has not told a sould about it. Don't laugh. Duing his first year at Hogwarts he had the honor of seeing one while on his monthly night travels. Remus found the creature to be the most pure thing he had ever seen, much unlike himself. It's not gay to like unicorns D< He also, although he will deny it, loves the taste of blood-flavored lollipops. Anything blood-related, in fact. Moreover, he wishes he were more care-free like James and Sirius, he hates Transfiguration, and actually likes the parties that James and Sirius throw (in particular the ones with firewhiskey..) AND WTF, HE'S A WEREWOLF?! O__O Personality:
Looks Distinguishing Features: Various scars are seen along his collarbone, arms, and legs. When asked Remus will say he fell off a broom as a child. Various other marking are a result of self-infliction during transformations and/or mental, retarded things done with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Not-so-distinguishing features: From his early years in France, Remus has a light hint of a French accent. Since moving to England it has faded considerably. Appearance:
Place of Birth: Les Mans, France Immediate family: Tara and John Lupin, his parents. After the attack Mr. and Mrs. Lupin both agreed that another child in the family would be impossible, and thus Remus is an only child. Extended family: None Other important people: James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew are all family to him. Pets: Remus and animals do not mix well. History: On March 10th, 1960, Remus John Lupin was born to John and Tara Lupin. He grew up happy as ever, enjoying the magical community of wizards and witches alike in a Le Mans, France. Remus was never a bad child, and his parents couldn’t have asked for a better son. His progress from infant to toddler went smooth, as did toddler to child. What happened to the young Lupin as a small boy was extremely unexpected. Fenrir Greyback was far from human. Being a werewolf, his attacks and bites on children or adults were close to fatal. A monster in human flesh, he purposely set himself near children before his ugly transformation began. He focused on youths in the hopes of raising them into monsters like himself. Upon his travels, Fenrir ran into John Lupin, who in more than one way insulted the half-breed. Anger boiled over to the highest extremes, and Fenrir called for revenge. At the age of five, Remus Lupin was attacked by Fenrir. Somehow the man had tracked down where the Lupin’s resided, and used a small boy’s natural instinct of curiosity to lure him out of the house. In the woods, Remus was assaulted and bitten. In the morning his parents discovered the disappearance of their son and searched high and low. Young Remus was found covered in blood with three bite wounds spanning across his chest and arms. Tara and John rushed him to St Mungo’s within an hour. For weeks Remus remained in the hospital, suffering broken bones and fractures and the fear of what had happened. When he discovered what he had become, the boy of five could only break down in tears. There was no cure for his disease. Remus was a werewolf, and would remain one until he died. Precautions were taken to keep Remus and others safe. The first was the Lupin’s move to England, where trips to St Mungo's would be quicker, and the building of a metal shed in their backyard. Each month Remus went in the shed and fulfilled his transformations there. Remus grew lonely by the time he was seven. For the first two years he was far too weak to go out, and even when he had grown used to his affliction, many children shunned him. Remus learned to give up on friends, though deep down it was his greatest desire to make at least one. He secluded himself from the world, only talking to his parents. It was in this period of loneliness that Remus picked up books. They seemed to be his only escape. Remus recalls his early years to be his worst. Thinking of these times sends him into a fit of depression. As Remus grew older, fear of where he could learn arose. Now ten, Remus had also lost hope in going to school. He was a monster, a threat to anyone who happened to be near him. Tara and John talked to headmasters and mistresses alike in hopes of having them consider, all attempts denied until they reached Dumbledore. Unlike the others who had automatically denied Remus of his education, Albus Dumbledore welcomed the boy with open arms. The Hogwarts headmaster took extra precautions to accommodate young Lupin. These included the building of the Shrieking Shack, a boarded up home where Remus was to transform, and the planting of the Whomping Willow on school grounds, planted on top of a secret pathway to the Shack. Remus was happier than he had been in his entire life when he stepped foot on the Hogwarts Express. Friends, however, was still something he lacked. For the first few weeks of his entering the school, Remus continued to seclude himself from others. He would have continued to do so if a certain Sirius Black hadn’t asked for help in Charms work. It didn’t take long for Remus to also meet James Potter and Peter Pettigrew, and by the year’s end Remus knew he had friends. His lycanthropy he continued to hide though, dismissing himself from the three for his monthly turnings and passing them off as colds. James, Sirius, and Peter were not stupid. Without having Remus tell them, the three discovered what afflicted their friend and confronted him about it days after. Remus nearly broke down in tears at their discovery, thinking they would spread the word of him being a monster and never speak to him again. To this day Remus is unsure what to think of that day. Although he and the others remain friends, Remus still feels a little wary as to how things will work out. Lately Lupin has been feeling excluded from day-to-day conversation, creating some sense of nervousness for the boy. Nonetheless, the three remain to be his best friends ever. Remus just hopes that it stays that way. Now entering his fifth year, Remus serves as friend to many. He is currently a prefect for Gryffindor house, to his belief to keep his friends in line. This hasn’t quite worked out, but that is hardly on the boy’s mind. Misc Hai. Edited by nikkity-nack, Jul 19 2009, 01:15 AM.

Couple things to be changed before Fox gets online. Actually, really, just one thing to be changed. The Marauders are not yet animagi. Remus and Sirius have their nicknames already, but James and Peter don't. Furthermore... the Marauders are trying to keep it secret from Remus. Operation Mr. Snuffles, I believe, is what they use when talking about their transformation attempts. Remus might have heard that, but they deny that it is an actual Marauder operation. They only talk about it when Remus is out of the room, sometimes stopping abruptly when he walks in. |

Accepted on a trial period. Don't be too concerned about that. You have a couple of weeks to prove that you can handle being a main character, but based on your application I'd say you wont have a problem. Congratulations, Remus. |

Sorry, Nikky, but the reason we wanted a new Remus was because the old Remus rarely showed up. And you... never showed up. We gave you a week, haven't seen you at all, so we're going to look for a new Remus. Booted for inactivity. |
