Basinger  full name: Maddock Clement Basinger canon or original: Original age: 16 year: Sixth house: Hufflepuff blood: Half-Blood wand: 9 inches, black walnut, unicorn hair patronus: Elk boggart: The vastness of the universe – sort of gives him the wiggins erised: To move to Paris, rent a studio flat, and paint and eat cubed cheese all day. Or, to have a house full of cats. He likes cats. birth place:Bedfordshire, England ------------------------------------------------- Appearance: Stray dog, might be the first thing that comes to mind when first seeing Maddock. With his head of thick, unruly curls, he looks as if he’s been living in a dumpster for the past few years. There isn’t much that can be done about his frenzied hair, to his dismay. And he isn’t the sort to spend valuable time taming his curls with gel, either. Otherwise, there isn’t anything about his appearance that is particularly distinctive. Average height. Narrow, dark brown eyes. He greatly dislikes his thick eyebrows, but on the bright side also possesses a boyishly charming voice and an affable smile. Aside from his school robes, Maddock has a fairly classic, low-key sense of style. Neutral color schemes. Nothing ever outlandish. Practical. Comfortable cardigans, slacks, and button-down shirts. Maddock is also far-sighted and has to wear reading glasses, of which he dislikes. Personality: Unlike many his age, or witches and wizards in general, for that matter, Maddock isn’t particularly motivated by fame, or wealth, or power. He finds himself to be much more filled by things that give his life a sense of meaning or purpose. At the moment, Maddock is still in search of what it is that makes him ‘tick.’ He is a dreamer, by nature. He is much more prone to ‘flights of fancy’ than the realistic goals of his peers. At several points in his life, Maddock has entertained the possibility of becoming any of the following: a painter, an Unspeakable in the Ministry of Magic, a troubadour, a philosopher, a journalist, a cat breeder, and bassist for a rock band. Many, if not all, are fairly unlikely occupations. Regardless, Maddock is the quiet, introspective sort who’s more likely to be found on the fringes than in the middle of everything. In spite of his shy nature, Maddock is certainly opinionated. He is not the sort to interject or speak his mind, but Maddock is very firm in his beliefs and opinions. Although open-minded and always willing to listen to a different perspective, Maddock sees the world in a very clear-headed, to the point way. Incredibly perceptive, he tends to see things differently than the majority of other people. He legitimately does not understand human flaws like greed, or prejudice, or rudeness. To him, such things are completely impractical and only stand in the way. This is probably why he’s a Hufflepuff, and one of the most defining aspects of his character. He is exceptionally altruistic and kind-hearted, passionate, and follows a very strong moral code, perhaps even to a fault. His heroes are the likes of Mother Theresa, Antigone (he doesn’t particularly care if she’s a work of fiction), and Buddha. Don’t even get him started on Ayn Rand. It goes without saying that he is a very inclusive person. He fully supports the integration of all witches and wizards, regardless of blood purity. A bit of an activist, Maddock hates to see any sort of group suffering oppression or being denied rights. Probably because he’s so concerned with the welfare of others, Maddock is prone to immense feelings of guilt and even self-pity. Even when something couldn’t even remotely be considered his fault, he feels a certain amount of responsibility for other people. What Maddock hates more than anything is disappointing people. He’s often very quick to apologize, probably the point of annoyance. A very hard worker and an absolute perfectionist, Maddock can’t do anything without it meeting his high, self-critical expectations. All around, Maddock is a pretty low-key individual. He is polite, without being too polite, easy to talk to once getting past the awkward small-talk phase, and generally a pretty nice guy. Maddock doesn't have a wild streak to speak of, but he does like to think that he's open to new thoughts and experiences. Finally, Maddock has always had a sense of whimsy about him. Not eccentric, just a bit quirky. There are many facets of his interests and personality that would surprise people. For instance, he loves punk music. His favorite bands are The Sex Pistols and The Clash. He hates poetry (people tend to think the opposite of him). He always wears socks, no matter what, and possess a pretty high level of wit for someone who isn't very verbose. A hopeless romantic, he has a secret appreciation for fairy-tales. There’s a very distinct possibility that he suffers from depression, but he has yet to be diagnosed. Also he is deathly afraid of being suffocated by plastic Saran wrap. No rational explanation for that last one. Background: Maddock has gone through his years at Hogwarts with a sort of anonymity. He’s perfectly fine with this, however, and probably isn’t even entirely aware of it. He does, of course, have his close friends. It’s a small circle, but that’s the way he likes it. He’s always felt at home at Hogwarts, and even more so, as a Hufflepuff. He can’t imagine being happier in any other house. He isn’t a big ‘joiner,’ and consequently isn’t involved in too many student activities. He is, however, a huge fan of Quidditch and always attends the matches. An exemplary student, Maddock has performed expertly in the majority of his classes, due mostly to his natural self-awareness and diligence. As his years at Hogwarts draw to a close, however, Maddock is becoming more and more overwhelmed with his future in the wizarding world. |
