Hello!

Hey guys! I'm new here and I'm bringing in Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Torchwood. He's been sorted into Gryffindor and is fifteen, in the fifth year. If you're familiar with his canon, his personality is most the same, though I'm going to be playing him younger, obviously, and he's a little more mischievous than we see in the shows. I'm dragging in more of the childish elements he exhibits with Ianto and some of the recklessness from his original appearances with the Ninth Doctor. He still speaks with an American accent and can easily switch into a Scots accent as well, since he grew up in both countries, but more often than not he'll speak American. He's also still a really big flirt. ;)

His pre-Hogwarts history is mostly his family moving to America when he was six, then his brother being kidnapped/disappearing when he was ten. As he was supposed to be watching after Grey at the time, this was a hard loss for Jack and he will get angry if it's brought up. His first two years at Hogwarts, he kept to himself alot, having still been grieving for his brother. During his third year he began to lighten up and started turning into a troublemaker. Now, in his Fifth year, he's known for his rule-breaking behaviour and his sneaking out at night. Jack might earn points here and there during classes, but he's pretty good at losing anything he makes. He tries not to be a detriment to the House, though.

Unfortunately it's really hard to find icons of John Barrowman young, so I might use icons where he's clearly an adult... just pretend he's actually 15 in them.

I live for plotting and CR so feel free to message me here, or if I'm home, I'm always on AIM: Tavyan34. (Though my shitty internet connection might make it seem like I'm not... but I am on my side of things!)

Eeeee, Jack! I don't suppose you'd want some CR with a crazy stoner Slytherin?

... oh, also, welcome to the game! I'm Terry, mun of the aforementioned stoner. XD

Well, since he's a Gryffindor, he might have seen Gamzee around his dorms - one of the Gryffindor third years (*cough* Karkat Vantas *cough*) has a bad habit of smuggling his friends into the tower, and so he might recognize the weirdo who wears the clown face-paint from that. Though I don't suppose Jack cares all that much about rule breaking ... XD

Her body is ready!


To put the smackdown on him since well OF COURSE anime characters are violent, IT'S FUNNY.

Sorry, you should prepare yourself for my derpy sense of humor too.

Wow I am super late to the party! But hi! Welcome to the game!

I'm Leafy-mod, and I play
[personal profile] ladyliberty | Amelia Kirkland | Axis Powers Nyotalia | Gryffindor 5th
[personal profile] witchafterall | Mami Tomoe | Madoka Magica | Gryffindor 5th
[personal profile] fuckilovebooks | Twilight Sparkle | My Little Pony | Ravenclaw 4th

I think it's probably safe to say that Amelia and Jack have fooled around at some point. :) Assuming that's okay by you!

And of course if you have any questions or anything, as Mozart said, you can always poke one of us!
witchafterall: (It's a sad story)

No, Mami would probably sigh and try to keep him within the rules as much as possible.
