Physical Appearance:
click me
"usually i like to wear more casual clothing. dressing up is kind of cool sometimes though. i'm not the type of bloke that'll b*tch and moan when i have to wear a bow tie. i like to look 'clean cut', since the whole 'grungey' look doesn't really look good on me i've noticed. i like (muggle) band t-shirts and jeans that are on the tighter side. long coats and converse too. i'm a pretty simple guy, so my ensemble isn't anything special. my hair is usually worn hitting just barely the kink of my neck and it's usually at least brushed. i don't wear it long or straighten it or anything. i think i may be in need of a hair cut soon though. i don't want to start looking like a girl..

"my eyes are hazel and i'm told that i have a smile that can melt the coldest of hearts when i do show it off. i guess that's a pretty cool compliment, even if i don't agree. i'm not very tall...but i'm not exactly short either. i'm about 5'10", which is average for most guys my age. hopefully i'll grow a bit more though. my skin is more of a medium fair..i'm darker than most people that i know. i don't have any scars or anything else that stands out. i'm just...average -- a bit boring, really."

Personality:
"hey, my name is jonah rufus. unfortunately, i don't have any nicknames, since jonah is kind of impossible to shorten. i am seventeen years old and in my seventh year at hogwarts. it's pretty cool, i guess... i'll admit, i have no idea what i want to do after i graduate, it actually kind of makes me nervous thinking about it. as a matter of fact, a lot of things tend to make me nervous. especially girls. i'm pathetic in that department, i swear, i can barely talk to one without choking on my tongue. you can blame that on my fascination with books and, well, learning in general. i've always been way too focused on school to worry about dating and trying to get a peak under girls' skirts. i think i'm too afraid of getting slapped from doing that anyways. yeah...i'm afraid of a lot. oh, nosebleeds. those make me faint. it's incredibly embarrassing, even worse when i am the one bleeding from the nostrils. you don't even want me to get into quidditch. my first year, i broke my nose from the bloody broom. i'll talk more about that later..

"i don't like messes, being late or chaos. broken bones and expired milk aren't fun. i had the misfortune of drinking old milk once, i have to force myself to drink it these days. uhh...i don't know if you have noticed yet, but i am not much of a ladies man. i've had one girlfriend, and the most we did was kiss on the lips. yeah, i'm...really, really innocent. angelic almost. i don't know, girls just see me more as the...'friend'. or...brother. that's the worst, especially when there are potential feelings. i've come to grow used to it though. maybe sometimes i'll have more luck in thh relationship department..

"i'm generally more shy than most people in my grade. i've never been much of a social butterfly and partying in hogsmeade is the last thing on my to-do list. a lot of people tell me to 'loosen up', but i think that i am fine. actually, i hate it when people tell me that and i usually throw some kind of attitude toward them. i can't help it though. i hate being told that i am something that i believe i'm not -- even when i am. did that even make sense? if there is one thing that you should know about me, it's that i am extremely stubborn. i cannot stand when things don't go my way and i am a bit of a control freak. i can't help it. oh, i hate mess and clutter...and loud noises. slutty girls, being told what to do and egotistical wankers piss me off too. i've never been one for confrontation, but if someone was to ruffle my feathers enough, i think i would step up and do something. fighting is stupid though, so i don't think i'll ever have to do it because i try my best not to step on other peoples toes.

"uhhh...i'm awkward...and nerdy. and i can often be found with a book glued to my nose. did i even use that expression right? i don't know. i've never been the guy with a girl on each arm or a large group of friends. i like to keep my good friends close, i'm content with my social life...because i know the people that i keep around will be there for me no matter what. i am a loyal friend and hard worker. i'm willing to listen to other people talk about their problems, but it's very rare when i talk about my own. i like to sort that kind of stuff out on my own. i'm just not comfortable with people knowing too much about me. a lot of people that i know compare me to a rock, since it is very rare when i show that i am angry or sad about something. i like to think i'm a nice guy and i can take a joke pretty well? yeah.."

Character Background:
my family is great, they are some of the most caring and nurturing people you'll ever meet, i can assure you that. my parents are both muggles, which makes me...a muggle born. sometimes, it can be considered a curse around here. -eye roll- i don't get it.. the war is over, there is no need to be an arse to people because of their blood purity. some of the best witches and wizards were muggle born, or even half bloods. well, my fathers, fathers, father...or something...was the inventor of the cushioning charm. for broomsticks. he made traveling by broomstick more comfortable, or something. yada, yada. i wish that worked for my face my first year...my first time ever on a broomstick was a complete disaster and i have been apprehensive getting on a broom ever since. long story short, i ran into a wall, broke my nose...and was the laughing stalk for the rest of the year. -cringes- it was pretty bad, but i'm over it now. people tend to forget those things after someone throws up in the great hall after too much to eat at the halloween feast. thank merlin that wasn't me...for once.

"anyways, i'm an only child. i don't mind it much...growing up i was always used to getting so much attention. it probably would have been kind of nice to have a younger sibling to blame stuff on growing up though. oh, you're probably interested on where we're from? no? well... i'm from england. i grew up in a small town outside of brimingham. there's lots of muggles. because i am one. it was really hard adjusting to the wizarding worlds way of life at first...since they're not very technological here. it's, interesting though. there are times when i really miss living in the muggle world though. everything i know is there still. in a way, i would like to move to the united states or something after i graduate to attend a university there. i know it would be abandoning the magical world completely, but i kind of think my heart is more into living there instead. i couldn't ever tell my friends this though. they'd flip a shit for sure. if i do decide to continue with this whole wizarding thing..i'd like to be a hit wizard. i read about it all the time and the job fascinates me.

"in hogwarts, i've never joined the quidditch team. i kind of hate the thought of getting on a broom unless if my life depends on it. heights just freak me out...and flying isn't my strongest point. i'm much better behind a desk studying. when i work on my work, i am very head strong and don't abandon my studies...ever. it's kind of a bad thing at times. since it's always hard for me to wake up in the morning. i am in my final year at hogwarts and am doing well as ever. like i mentioned before, i'm not sure what i want to do after school -- and it kind of freaks me out. hopefully i'll get to know myself better this year and make a final decision. relationships have always been kind of weird with me. i've dated girls...and kissed them and whatever...but the longest i have dated someone was four months. i tend to lose interest easily with most girls, oh, and they sort of hate that i put school before them. maybe i should try to date a fellow ravenclaw -- she'd probably understand me better than anyone that's a member of another house..

UNDER CONSTRUCTION! D:
--------------------------------------

Name: Jonah Ezekiel Rufus
Age: Seventeen
Bloodline: Muggleborn
House: Ravenclaw
Year: Seventh

Physical Appearance:
    Heavy eyebrows. Hazel eyes. Thick raven-black hair. Long arms. About 5'11. Broad lips. No tats. Complexion is olive. Chiseled face. Not much facial hair. Hair falls at the kink of his neck. Has a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts. Subtle curls

    Long sleeved shirts. Jeans. Hoodies. Band T-shirts. Clean cut, but comfortable. Prefers to look casual. Groomed.
    RAWR, THESE ARE JUST BULLETS.
Personality:
    If you ask Jonah a question, you'll more than likely get an answer that you weren't expecting. He's the kind of person to ignore you if you look like bad news, even though deep down, he's dying to talk to you. Jonah likes adventures and being spontaneous, but it takes a lot of pushing for him to disobey the rules. He's somewhat of a pushover and wouldn't do anything for his friends without them asking; loves doing little things for people that make them feel good. Putting a smile on someone else's face puts one on Jonah's. Often, you can find Jonah pondering anything and everything - he's one of the most philosophical people you will ever meet, although he hates philosophy from an academic standpoint.

    Jonah is a big dork and loves to laugh. He has his moments when he can be very silly and crazy, but normally, he tends to be very level headed and calm. In most situations, he's the mediator and keeps his friends out of trouble. The boy can't help it that he's obsessive compulsive when it comes to most rules. Since he's a prefect, he always tries to help him friends do stupid stuff in a smart way. Mainly because his ass is in jeopardy if they end up getting caught. Some people may describe him as a wet blanket, or Percy Weasley-like, if he doesn't like you and catches you not abiding to the rules. If you're really on his bad side, he'll write you up for walking too slowly in the halls. Just because he has that mico-authority. And he kind of finds it funny.
    MORE BULLETS
    loves thinking about things and why they are the way they are.
    He has a small group of close knit friends that he sticks to. It isn't often when he steps out of his comfort zone in the social scene.
Character Background:
    Jonah Rufus hails from a small town bordering Brimingham, England. He grew up surrounded by Muggles, because he is one. When Jonah isn't studying at Hogwarts, he lives with his Muggle parents Eloise and Sethaniel Rufus. Being brought up from a Muggle background, where everyone is ignorant to the Wizarding world, the letter that he received seven years ago was thought to be a joke. A school of witchcraft and wizardry? That just sounded ridiculous, though, Jonah was hopeful and open minded about it. Eloise and Sethaniel continued to throw the letters into the rubbish bin every time they sifted through the post, until it finally happened - people that worked for the Ministry ended up coming to the Rufus household to tell them about the school. Eloise and Sethaniel were still very skeptical and they didn't like the idea of sending their only child away to this unknown school that was technically geographically non-existent; Hogwarts was nowhere to be found on maps, books or even on the internet. It wasn't until they visited Hogsmeade that it all started to become a little more real.

    After weeks of contemplating sending their only son to the school, they finally came to the decision to allow Jonah to attend Hogwarts. Of course, they still weren't very comfortable with the idea, but little Jonah begged and pleaded non-stop. They figured that if he didn't like it at the school, he could always come home. He would always have the option and still does if things don't go his way. That never happened though...it didn't matter how much they hoped and wished that he would hate it there and return home, to the real world. The only communication they'd have year round would be through owl post since e-mail wasn't something that wizards had. They managed though. Writing Jonah every week and expecting a letter or two back consistently. To this day, they still aren't open-minded to the wizarding world because it's the 'unknown', but as long as Jonah is safe and happy, they're happy for his decision of staying at the school and continuing his studies.

    Jonah's first year was definitely the most awkward for him. He had a herd time adjusting in a completely different world from what he was used to. As well as finding people that he connected well with. At the age of twelve, he was very shy and quiet. He couldn't talk to anyone without getting tongue tied or biting on his cheek. The simplest of tasks made him so nervous, that it was impossible to hide his blush. During flying class his first year, he broke his nose. This instantly broke him out of any ideas playing any sports on a broom - let alone quidditch. It's very rare when he gets on a brook just for the hell of it. Unless if you pull his teeth, or happen to be Ivory Vein.

    Year two at Hogwarts was very similar to year one, but he had a couple of friends who he was able to confide in. This was a big step for him. For a while, he felt very out of place in Hogwarts because of the fact he was a Muggleborn. Whenever talking to his fellow classmates, he always tried to keep blood purity out of the conversation because it made him feel uncomfortable. He hides it more now at the age of seventeen than at the tender age of twelve.

    It wasn't until Jonah's fifth year that he finally had his first girlfriend. It wasn't anything too serious, because he was far too shy to do anything more than hold hands and quick pecks on the lips. It lasted a couple of months - two tops. Unfortunately, the girl got bored with him because he was more wrapped up on his studies than her - and he was too afraid to tell her. Jonah just didn't like the idea of hurting her for breaking things off, but ended up looking like an even bigger pansy in the end when she dumped him in the Great Hall, in front of his fellow Ravenclaws. As embarrassing as it was at the time, he was relieved that he wasn't the one to dump her first because he didn't know how to.

    Sixth year was, alright. Nothing too exciting happened.

    Now, Jonah is in his Seventh year and surprisingly enjoying it a lot. He's a little nervous that this is his final year at Hogwarts, but is also looking froward to leaving and moving on with his life. Turning the page and starting a whole to chapter. He's still on the fence when it comes to knowing what he wants to do or if he wants to even stay in the Wizarding World after graduating. Being a Muggleborn, his parents hope that he decides to return home in Yorkshire. Get a 'real' career. Maybe even be a dentist.
- Jonah has only had one girlfriend in the past and has been in a love drought ever since. He's quite angelic, the most he has ever done was hold hands and kiss on the lips...his fifth year. Not many girls can get him away from his books so they end up losing interest in him pretty fast if they ever did have those feelings for him.

- There aren't many people that can pull him away from his studies. Ivory is pretty much the only one that's able to - because he's kind of in love with her.

- Due to his fear of dark water, he won't go anywhere near a body of water unless if it's a bathtub or swimming pool. Yes, he's a pansy and knows it.

- Jonah has a pet owl named Maverick. They don't get along particularly well, so it's very rare when he decides to use him to send letters home to his parents. Instead, he prefers to use the schools owls; since Maverick has lost several letters in the past. It's a surprise that he even comes back - Jonah is pretty sure it's only because he gets fed. Bugger. Maverick is quite irritating - loves to nip, leave droppings on your back and isn't very gentle with his talons. Oh, and he's the ultimate mooch too! One of his most infamous pastimes is stealing food from students in the Courtyard and/or Great Hall when they turn their cheek. The owl is pretty much the devil in a feathered body to - well - everyone.
