The Roleplayer
Name/Alias: Karen
Location: Massachusetts
How did you hear about this site: From myself
Any other Comments: I play Helena Martin. Ooh, ahh! : D
Yeah, I copy and pasted part of my history straight from Helena. Laziness! ; D
The Character
Name: Jeffrey (Jeff) Martin
Year: 7th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood: Muggle
Wand: Walnut, 10"
Appearance: Jeff is roughly 6'0, with thick eyebrows and thick, relatively wavy, dark hair that hangs just above his eyes. He isn't particularly muscular or chubby, but not extremely skinny either.
Personality: Jeff was always the responsible one in his family, and while he is less reckless or attention-seeking compared to his sister, he is not a coward. He wouldn't run away to save his own neck to leave someone else to die, but he is very cautious and doesn't take dares unless he knows it is the only option. Jeffrey keeps all of his promises, and is punctual to the point of annoying.
Jeff enjoys writing palindromes, and in his spare time he tends to do "geeky" things such as studying and reading "boring" books. The fact is that Jeff likes facts. Definite facts that won't change. They comfort him, in an odd way. So he reads textbooks, almanacs, and goes through millions of puzzle books. He also likes working with words, which is why he particularly enjoys crossword puzzles, and creating palindromes.
Jeff is patient and kind, but also bad with transitions. He does not adjust to change easily, and gets very uncomfortable in situations he is not used to. He gets a bit nervous around strangers, even if he doesn't show it.
Jeff doesn't know this and even if he did, he would probably hide it because of his modesty. However, Jeff really is brilliant. His mind is quick, he understands things easily and thinks deeply as well as from a slightly different perspective compared to what is "typical". Although constantly overshadowed by his loud and bold sister who has something of her own that just happens to stand out more than Jeff's brilliance, Jeff has potential, though as what, nobody really knows yet.
Unlike his sister, whose mind is set on becoming a Comedian, Jeff is unsure about the future, whether that be the end of the school year when he leaves Hogwarts, or the upcoming weekend, worried if he can finish all his homework.
Jeff has few enemies, mostly because he doesn't speak out much. He dislikes conflict and "hates hate". Because of his tendency to be rather monosyllabic, he also has few but trustworthy and close friends.
History: Jeff's mother, Samantha Martin (nee Barron) grew up in Bournemouth, England and was a witch born to a muggle family. She met Jeff's father, Dennis Martin when she visited America while she was trying to pursue a (failed) career in singing.
Dennis Martin is an American muggle and a former politician who was borderline radical and very liberal. He was extremely outspoken and passionate, but the world of politics was too much for him to handle, with all the lying, cheating and manipulating.
They settled in Atlanta, Georgia and Jeff was born. His magic did not show itself for a long time, but at age 8, he was at a restaurant and was apparently disgusted by the strange foreign food, so he caused it to shrink and shrink until the food was as small as crumbs on the plate.
As a child, Jeff was organized, sensible, and knew how to calm down Helena--- sometimes. But he mostly tagged along in her many adventures, making sure to be careful. Helena was very persuasive. And even as a child, she enjoyed debating and speaking/entertaining, often with Jeff as her supportive audience.
Surprisingly enough, Jeff was the top student at school, with almost no competition. Not that he cared, particularly. He only wanted to learn, not do better than others.
To this day, Jeff has filled out exactly 73 Puzzle Books.
