[ Full Character Name: ] Lucas Smith
[ Character Gender: ] Male
[ Country of Citizenship: ] England
[ Age:] 17
[ Year: ] Seventh
[ Physical Character Description: ] Lucas doesn’t really have an athlete’s body, but he’s a great basketball player. His 6’1” height certainly helps, but he only weighs 162lbs. Lucas is a fairly slim boy in the sense that he’s not totally ripped and built, but he’s still fairy strong. Playing basketball for almost all of his life has helped keep him in shape, even if it was only ever for fun.
There’s nothing spectacular about Lucas’ looks. Or so he thinks. Lucas isn’t the kind of guy who would flaunt his looks, but he is rather cute. He gets most of his facial features from his father, and he only knows this from old pictures he’s seen of the man. Lucas has his father’s dirty blond hair colour and his strong jaw line, but Lucas takes pride in knowing that he has his mother pale blue eyes.
Lucas’s hair changes from time to time. He doesn’t like to let it get too long, and when it does, he shaves it all off. The only hair he likes to grow is facial hair, but the most he can get is a tiny patch on his chin.
The latest fashion is not really that high on Lucas’ list of priorities. He doesn’t really care what’s in and what’s out and tends to stick to the plain old t-shirt and jeans. Growing up with a single parent, Lucas couldn’t ever really afford anything else.
[ Personality Character Description: ] Lucas Smith is a rather reserved boy. He’s not exactly outgoing and he’s really quiet. He speaks softly, when he does speak that is. Lucas likes to keep to himself and he’s not really a big talker. He’s kind of hard to get to know, but once you do, he’s a really nice guy. He doesn’t like to talk about his past, so it does take a while for him to let people in. There are few people in the world that he truly trusts, pretty much just his mom and his childhood, Muggle best friend, but if he decides to let someone in, they get to see what a nice guy he really is.
It’s the little things he does that make Lucas such a likable guy. He’d remember something you told him you wanted and it would turn up all wrapped nicely for you for your birthday. He likes to do nice things for people and he’s just a good friend. He’s always there to listen when he’s needed and people know that they can count on him. Lucas doesn’t talk much himself, so he’s learned to be a good listener and he often has good advice for his friends. He likes to think that a lot of people like him, but he doesn’t have that many real friends. His lack of trust in people makes him push others away except for his mom and his best friend who’s practically his sister.
Along with the trust issue, Lucas is also really self-conscious about his scrawny body. While he does play sports, Lucas doesn’t have the body of a jock. It was a main factor that contributed to him only playing basketball for fun because he didn’t want to have to be around other guys in a locker room and be the scrawny kid. He knows it’s a lame reason, but it really affects him and that’s just the way he is.
Lucas is a bit of a nerd. He’s not your average sports guy. He likes to play, but school is more important to him. Lucas likes to read, write and draw. It’s the only way he can really express himself without having to talk too much. Lucas doesn’t really care that he’s a little nerdy, and he knows a lot about stuff. He’s a good artist too and a pretty good writer, but Lucas would never admit it. He’s too humble and shy to admit that he’s actually good at something, including basketball.
To everyone, Lucas is like a big brother. In the sense that he’d extremely paranoid and over-protect, anyways. He worries about his friends and sometimes worries too much. He only does it because he cares, but it can get a little annoying after a while. He’s tried just backing off for a while, but that doesn’t mean he worries any less. He worries most about his mom, as he’s had to take on the role of man of the house since he was born. Lucas just wants his friends to be safe and can’t help that he worries.
[ History: ] Born on August 24th, Lucas Smith has had it rough from the beginning. As he’s been told, his mom got pregnant when she was 18 years old and her boyfriend at the time, found out about it and split off to college, leaving Lucas’ mom to look after herself and a baby. Lucas was close to not existing, but his mom thought better and decided to take off, leaving the old town behind and moving to London. Lucas was born in a Muggle hospital on a hot and sticky August afternoon and that was just the beginning of hard times.
There was only one source of income for the Smith family, and that was Lucas’ mom working at a bank. It wasn’t until he was 6 that another face became a familiar one. Lucas’ mom’s brother Keith showed up on day. He worked as a bar tender, and tried to help out Lucas and his mom Carrie as much as he could. The two low-income jobs didn’t really change anything, but it was nice for Lucas to feel what it was like to have a real family for a while, until Keith was killed in a car accident.
As a child, Lucas didn’t really have much. He had clothes to wear, food to eat and a roof over his head but that was about it. He didn’t have the latest gaming system or the coolest new gadgets, but he did just fine. There were a few things Lucas did have though, one of them being a library. He spent most of his time here, rifling through old books and newspaper articles, along with his best friend Rachel. While doing their daily after-school rifle, Lucas found something that would change his life forever.
It was pure luck that he stumbled upon a book of magic that was tucked away in the corner of the building. He began reading and became intrigued by it. The more he read, the more Lucas wished he had some kind of magical talent. A few weeks after finding the book, weird things started to happen to Lucas, things he couldn’t explain. Something would go missing, only to be found in his room moments later. Once in the library, Lucas thought he was dreaming when he watched a book levitate off the table just as he was thinking about how cool it would be if he had a magic talent. He decided that all of it was just his overactive imagination and he decided to leave the book alone. For a few days, the strange incidents stopped and Lucas thought everything back to normal. How wrong he was. Weird things started to happen again, but more subtly than before. It was a long time before Lucas even realized it had started up again.
Lucas was only 9 when he discovered the book and the weird occurrences had drawn on for nearly a year and a half until Lucas decided to do something about. He just let them happen. Lucas let the weird things happen to him and sometimes he even tried to cause them. The only person he ever told was Rachel because he knew she’d be the only one who believed him. Lucas knew he had freaked Rachel out the moment he’d shown her he could levitate things, but she stuck by him anyways, despite his freaky talent. A few months before Lucas’ 11th birthday, the boy received a letter in the mail, informing him that he was now able to attend a place called Hogwarts, a school for wizards and witches. Panic struck before anything else the moment he saw the letter. If it wasn’t a hoax (which he was sure it was) it would explain quite a bit about him, and why he never really felt like he hit in. Because he didn’t. He was just different. Lucas Smith was a wizard.
Attending a boarding school was way too much money and Lucas’ mom simply couldn’t afford it. Even with the small amount left behind by Uncle Keith, they just could afford to send Lucas away to school, but Carrie wanted to encourage her son to embrace what he was. The only thing Lucas had ever really had in common with anyone was his love for basketball. He discovered the sport at a young age, but it was also at a young age that he became incredibly self-conscious about his body. When he began playing basketball, Lucas was about the same strength as all the other boys but as they grew older, the rest of them progressed more than Lucas. They bulked up and became stronger than him, while Lucas stayed the same scrawny kid he’d always been. Lucas decided that now he’d only play basketball for fun, because he didn’t want to be in a locker room with other guys and feel so tiny compared to them. The opportunity to go to a wizarding school, where there would be people like him was something that Lucas didn’t think he’d ever get the chance to experience. But it wasn’t Hogwarts that he’d be attending. Instead, Lucas attended another school that was a local, hidden place.
For 5 years, Lucas attended the unknown wizarding school, finding that he excelled most in Charms. The school had been an OK one, but due to behind-the-scene complications, the school closed the year Lucas turned 15. Unknown to him, Lucas’ mom had saved up enough money to convert into wizarding money and send Lucas to Hogwarts to finish up his schooling for the last two years until he was out on his own.
[ Special talents/knacks : ] Lucas’ talents are pretty Muggle-like. He’s a great basketball player and he plays the guitar. His only magical talents are in Charms, and he’s quite good at the levitation charm, having mastered that before he even knew he was a wizard.
[Role Playing Example:] Out on the court, Lucas stood, waiting for the tip-off. It was just a pick-up game, a few guys from school had met at the court in the park for a game after school. Lucas hadn’t planned on going, preferring to stay away from the other guys and play with his small group of friends but Rachel had dragged him to this, convincing him that he was better than half the guys on the school team anyways. He was reluctant, but he knew Rachel would never shut up so Lucas found himself at this stupid thing, wishing he was anywhere else.
While shooting for teams, Lucas had somehow managed to get the position of point-guard. He didn’t know how or why it had happened, but the point-guard from the school team didn’t seem too pleased with it. Lucas’ eyes had wandered over to him while waiting for the game to start, so he didn’t notice when it had. The ball came flying out of nowhere, cracking Lucas square in the jaw, knocking him backwards. Lucas hit the ground with a thud, but shook his head and stood back up, glancing around at all the other guys who were laughing at him. Defiantly, Lucas waited for the game to resume and snatched up the ball quickly.
Dribbling down the court, Lucas weaved in and out of everyone, making his way to the three-point line and taking aim. Jumping into the air, Lucas released the ball with a flick of his wrist, watching it almost in slow-motion as it sailed through the air, hit the rim and bounced into the basket. The entire court went silent.
