HISTORY:

Christopher was born on the 22nd of March. His parents were Walter(Pureblood) and Lucy Helms(Muggleborn). They were a proud and loving family. However that was all about to shatter. Christopher's parents were brutally murdered by werewolves.

Christopher survived the attack because he mother covered him and his crib with an Invisibility cloak. Luckily the battle took place outside of the house so there was no noise to startle Christopher so the werewolves wouldn't hear him. Ministry officials arrived to help Walter and Lucy but were too late...they then heard Christopher crying and they took off the cloak, he was then taken to the Muggle Orphanage. In the future when he turned eleven years old a mysterious man arrived at the orphanage wanting to speak with Christopher he claimed to be a teacher. The man turned out to be a professor at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The professor sat down with Christopher and explained to him what his parents were and what he is. Christopher was in disbelief that this strange man claimed that Christopher and his parents are wizards. Christopher only thought that this man was just a nutter. Until finally the man took Christopher before asking the Orphanage staff that he would like to go gather Christopher's school materials. As they entered Diagon Allley Christopher was in shock at the moving bricks leading to Diagon Alley.

With all of his Materials gathered it was finally time for Christopher to start his journey on the hogwarts express. He was very shy and quiet mainly sitting alone in the box car. He looked around at all of the students outside of his boxcar what seemed to look like them playing hot potato with a firework sparkle. He looked as if that would seem fun...but kept to himself just watching the view outside. Finally he got himself changed into his robes and waited for the train to arrive to Hogwarts.

Christopher became very eager but yet very nervous. When he first arrived to Hogwarts he was very shy and nervous. He was sorted into Hufflepuff, he had heard his parents were in Hufflepuff and wanted to follow in their foot steps. He Immediately became eager in the subjects they teach at Hogwarts when he is assigned to study for an upcoming test he stays up for hours studying. This paid off so well that he received outstanding grades in all classes.

During his second and third year he has showed kindness and courteousness to the staff and students. He is currently in his fourth year where he learned and became an animagus. His animagus is a White Siberian Husky this very well entertains the first years. During his free time he likes to walk around and explore the forest during the day or hang out by the lake watching the water and sky. He truly is eager for adventures that are yet to come.

Christopher's life in the orphanage is growing really depressing for him. He wishes he had a real family or someone to look after him besides the orphanage. He truly dreads returning to the Orphanage. He dreams that one day perhaps someone at Hogwarts would perhaps take him. Perhaps his dream will come true during his adventures at Hogwarts.

hello Lukas. You have a very good base here, but there are several things I would love you to help me make edits before I approve him.

1- Your application format is wrong, and I would love you to recopy the original code and paste your information over. Make sure to switch over to BBCode tab while you make your edits.
2- The PB you've picked isn't suitable to play a 15 years old, I understand that he's an actor/ musician from 20 years ago, the thing is, we prefer the actor you pick to play a character would look close to their age, especially for younger characters (say 14 and 15 years old). I usually go by guideline is for PB to have 10 - 12 years age difference from the character you apply for, depends on the look of the PB, whether he's looking youthful enough/ old enough to play said character. I will appreciate it if you may pick a new PB for Christopher.
3- Your history hasn't meet the minimum requirement of 300 words (it stops at 274 words as according to our site word counter). You might need to add more, perhaps a little paragraph how life has been when he's in the Orphanage/ how he feels about being a wizard when he discover it?
4- Christopher's parents were murdered by werewolves, he was in a crib and he survived because his mom hide him and his crib using the Invisibility Cloak, but how old is he then that he would remember something like that? Any child who sees their parents being attacked and murdered right in front of their eyes (and the noise and the screaming) would certainly cries, and the Invisibility Cloak would not cover him if he does. Or let's say if he managed to stay quiet, how is he going to be discovered and taken to the orphanage later? Who discovered him? I am just saying there are loopholes in this part, details that don't add up, appreciate if you rethink this part and rephrase your story.
5- If he was sent to a muggle orphanage, I would prefer a professor going over to deliver his Hogwarts acceptance letter rather than an owl being sent. And the professor would guide/ accompany him to the Diagon Alley to get his stuffs.


Give this application a bump once you've done editing.

Ok I think I fixed it but I dont know. I changed the profile picture and some of the stuff in the history I need a little bit of help on the coding.

Hey! Sorry to put you on pending once again, but there are several other things you needed to fix up before I can approve him.

1- your application format is still wrong, and I really hope you can fix it as this is your second application, it would help you in the future if you knows how to handle the BBcode - it is essentials on Proboards and many other forum boards so yeah. Well, most of the coding problems arose due to Proboards V5 attempting to fix up your codes for you, you can prevent this problem by posting in the BBCode tab, easiest thing, set BBCode as your posting default. You can learn about it HERE. Once you've done that, recopy the original application code, and paste your information over. look at other's approved application and make sure that you get it right. If you still have problem after this, PM me, I will see what I can do to help.

2- So far, we haven't have a wizard orphanage, young wizards who lost their parents would most possibly being hand to another set of wizarding family to take care of them. Otherwise, he would end up in the muggle orphanage and has a Hogwarts professor breaking the news about him being a wizard when it is time for him to attend school.

3- As noted, even the Marauders only managed to become animagus in their fifth year, and it is after years of practices and with a very good motivation (to help Lupin on the full moon nights). personally, i would prefer students to take that minimal age as guideline, the character has to be fifteen years old before he can successfully turning into an animal. It is best too if he is to register as one, it is against the law if he isn't. Advice for you to put the animagus ability as learning in progress, so after three ic-months, you might have it - you may PM me that time and I will add to your profile.


As usual, bump it once you've made the changes.

[CHRISTOPHER MATTHEW HELMS]
