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!)

Anyway, I play;
DONNA NOBLE | That show you've probably never heard of |
Jude Harrison | Instant Star |
Tavros Nitram | Homestuck |
Galen Marek | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed |
Ellis | Left 4 Dead 2 |
Uncle Iroh | Avatar: The Last Airbender |
AKA a shitload. I am so excited to have Jack here and Donna just became the librarian but I am sure we have plenty of opportunity for shenanigans between the two and eeee.
But also I'm sure we can come up with CR with my other characters too of course. <3

I'm pretty much only familiar with Donna and Ellis of your bunch, but don't let that stop CR between other people!! Still though, especially since Ellis is a Gryffindor and only one year ahead of Jack, I'm interested in having the two of them definitely talk at some point!
And Donna. :D I hinted towards Jack attempting to flirt with Donna for restricted section access, but I'd love for him to become her #1 pain in the neck-- in a good humoured way. ;) He'd probably mess with her system here and there, mostly just to get a reaction out of her and then attempt to charm his way back into her good graces. Or, if that didn't work, through amply merited detention. But I'm kinda seeing her as one of those adults he respects and trusts, and that he could potentially go to in times of emotional need.

Soooooo I hope you have fun here and don't hesitate to poke at one of us mods if you have a question for a concern!
no subject
But that's okay! I'm sure Jack will come to know Cierra well, since he's good with Charms, and of course the other Gryffindors.
I hope Maka is prepared for Jack... :D
no subject
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.
no subject
Jack'll take anything he can get. Smack-downs or... ups? ;) ;)
Yeah. No problem. I have a similar one it seems :D
no subject
I'm Leafy-mod, and I play
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!
no subject
Oh HECK YEAH. I'm totally unfamiliar with Axis Powers, but I just read her biography and they seem like a perfect match. We should definitely do something with the two of them!
Jack and Mami on the other hand, probably wouldn't get along too well. She seems more like the type to be reasonable and disciplined which Jack is... not. Haha! :D
