------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION------------------------------------------------------------
FULL NAME: Jess Potter
NICKNAMES: n/a
AGE: oh god... Umm. 19, soon to be 20
ALLEGIANCE: Leader of the Order of the Phoenix
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Graduated Gryffindor
WAND: Mahogany, 11 Inches, Dragon Heartstring Core and rather Bendy
PLAY BY: Ewan McGregor
------------------------------------------------------------
APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR: Sandy brown
EYE COLOR: Blue, tinged with green
HEIGHT: 5'11"
BODY TYPE: Reasonably stocky
GENERAL APPEARANCE: The smile which once sat on Jess' face whether he liked it or not is now gone, replaced instead by a cold, hard look which settles well with an appearance of one who has aged too fast, too quick. His hair has changed considerably over the past few years, going from a moderately long brown do, to a sandy brown colour which doesn't look altogether too healthy.
He is above/around the average height of many men, however he considers himself to be short - a thought attributed to the teasing he received about being short in school right up until his final years.
Whilst Jess is yet to go gray, or develop a pattern of wrinkles around his face, he still shows the signs of one who has carried an unwanted burden for too long. A tired shadow surrounds his eyes most of the time and when he is relaxed a distinct slump can be found in his figure.

MIRROR OF ERISED:

PERSONALITY:
The carefree and happy personality that Jess retained in his youth has also been stripped of him in recent years as experience has taught him the effects of his own actions, as well as of those around him. He is now a far more guarded and cautious person than he was at the time of his graduation, however many would still regard him as being reckless - funny how that works.
His tolerance for mistakes and people in general has somewhat lessened, and many an innocent person has found themselves on the deep end of an undeserved rant which was sparked by a considerably small reason.
All that being said, Jess does allow himself to let his guard down in a private few moments in which he reflects on all that is going on around him - often finding that he hates his own actions as much as the ones of those who surround him.
Around his friends and family he will make an attempt to maintain a considerably more happy-than-reality sort of a facade, often finding himself actually enjoying the time he spends around him. For Jess, friends are like a drug that he can't get enough of. The good type, where he feels happy, safe and content, as long as he has a constant supply.

Just a side note on the family.
I know it's dodgy. I started this character way before the site had an established plot, and even given that, the backstory is impossible, and under current standards would not be accepted. As it was created before this site started to maintain strong character creation guidelines, it has been allowed to survive, however there may be changes coming in the near future, and suggestions are welcome.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years:
Hogwarts Years:
During his years at Hogwarts Jess found himself to truly be at home, at least to begin with, how cliche right? Upon being sorted into Gryffindor Jess found himself excel particularly in the area of charms, moving to a level of tuition beyond his age, and eventually being personally taught by the Charms professor of the day.
During this time he also fought with Dumbledore's army, and was present when the group changed its name to Potter's Army, in honor of the legendary Harry Potter, a much more relevant, and far more current hero to embed into their banners and chants. Eventually, Jess rose to take leadership of the student vigilante group, and continued to train and lead their organisation until his graduation.
He also found himself joining the Order of the Phoenix at around this time, and helped fight several Death Eater attempts at attacking his school, using both his connections in the Order, and his Leadership of PA to play instrumental roles in these battles. Soon enough Jess did find himself assuming leadership of the Order, and helped forge an alliance between both of the factions he represented which held true for years to come.
To his credit, Jess was also appointed to Hogwarts' staff as the youngest professor ever, when he spent his final year teaching the charms subject to the rest of the school.
During his time at school Jess forged friendships that he'd never forget. His times with Sophia, Andrian, AJ, Addy, Darren and Gin were ones he would never forget. To this day he is incredibly stubborn when it comes to fighting for these friends, whether it be physically or for their honor. A weakness he definitely maintains even now is that he cannot see flaws within them, no matter how hard he tries.
And finally, during his time at Hogwarts Jess met the love of his life, and his future wife Mariana Diggory. The two of them forged a deep friendship which soon evolved and bound them in a love that despite its ups and downs, has remained true to this day.
