Character Background

Family background and description (must be detailed but not extremely long, at least a paragraph and no more than six): Mordred's greatgrandmother was raped by Morfin Gaunt, and gave birth to his grandfather. His father is a sociopath, and due to their relations, Mordred also has sociopathic tendencies, though never cruel ones. This all means that Mordred is a descendant from Salazar Slytherin, and can speak parseltongue.

Personal history (what has happened to your character up until his or her current age): Mordred was born one Halloween, his mother leaving him behind the moment she was well enough. So, he was raised by his father, Mycah. Living with a sociopath is no easy job, and Mordred have more than enough scars to show for it. But due to his own sociopathic tendencies, he was never afraid of his father. And when he started Hogwarts, things got even easier. He didn't have friends, according to himself, but there were those few who managed to nag him enough to make him appreciate them. But due to his need to be alone and how he always sought solitude, he used all his time studying, making him the top of his class. He learned Legilimens and Occlumency in his fifth year, but only mastered it in his final year. He has been working with this ability for years, and feels he would do well as an interrogator for the Ministry, or even the Order. Now he's trying to get a stable job, something that hasn't proven easy for a relative of Lord Voldemort himself. And this annoys him profoundly.

Role play example, role play as your character in any situation you feel most comfortable with (at least 75 words):
Mordred felt himself being dragged from his unconscious mind by the long reach of the sun's tentacles. He slowly opened his eyes, squinting at the strong light. How much was the clock? His room was filled with sunlight. It wasn't like this early in the morning. He jumped out of the bed, feeling his heart race a bit faster. He grabbed his watch and looked at it. eleven thirty. He cursed and rushed over to his wardrobe, pulling out some clothes and putting them on. He was sure to be fired now.

Trouble about that, was that he really didn't care. His work was anything but something he liked, so he should probably quit it himself. But the problem wasn't that he overslept. He never overslept. The reason he kept getting fired was because of his constant rudeness, but he couldn't stop being who he was either, could he? Sure, he could be nice. Pretend to be, at least, but he always slipped. And he never regretted it. He didn't even notice when it happened. Maybe that was the problem. He shook his head and hurried to the kitchen through their rather big house. He quickly made a toast and left.

In the car, he noticed that he was feeling a bit poor. Maybe the reason he overslept was because he was coming down with something? He decided not to think about it as he parked near his job. He quickly walked into the building, and as expected, his boss asked him to come to his office. Mordred sighed. And he decided to quit before he was being fired.

A few minutes later, he was at his car again, having taken with him his personal belongings, which meant a pen, a block of paper and a computer. It was time to look for a new job.
