Character Interaction Limits
How do you feel about others controlling your character?I don't like people deciding his independent actions or thoughts. If you want to RP that your character hit him or kicked him or grabbed his hand and dragged him over there, go ahead.
How do you feel about your character being injured?It's fine. Selwyn loses control of his veela powers when he's injured and may transform into a nasty vulture-like creature, though.
What about torture?You can torture him physically or psychologically, I don't mind. Other forms of abuse are cool too, so long as the RP remains PG rated.
Can this character be killed?I'd prefer him not to die yet, but it's not out of the question. I have nothing against people attempting to kill him.
How do you feel about other characters using their powers on yours?If you want to use your legilimency, mind control, memory manipulation, seer or empathy abilities on Selwyn, I want a PM first so we can discuss it and you can do it realistically. Anything else is cool, do what you will.
Can your character be transformed without their consent?I don't even know if you can transform him, but go ahead and try.
How do you feel about romance?Selwyn is experimental. He's open to romance, kink, whatever. If sex happens we can talk about what would have happened so it can be referenced but I won't RP it on the board or elsewhere so don't ask.
Is there anything else?If there's anything else I'll put it here when I think of it.

Personality: Selwyn is quiet, and likes his own company. He isn't shy, and of course knows how to turn on the charm both metaphorically and literally; he just prefers not to if he can possibly avoid it. He also takes great pride in his intelligence and ability to maintain a calm demeanour even under pressure.Many students find Selwyn loud and obnoxious. His willingness to make a fool of himself in public leads many to miss the astute person behind that facade. He is increasingly paranoid about being part veela and now tries to hide more than highlight it the way he did when he was younger.

Family Information: Selwyn's grandmother on his mother's side is a veela.
Background: Selwyn's grandmother was a veela, and moved to Scotland to live with his grandfather. However, after his grandfather's death (which occured before he was born), Selwyn's grandmother moved back to Lahr (in Germany, on the boarder with France), which has led to many summer holidays spent visiting her there. As a result, Selwyn started at Hogwarts with the assumption that everyone had the same lifestyle he did and was quite astonished to learn that some people weren't so well off.
Selwyn soon reconciled himself to these differences with a callous indifference to those less fortunate than himself, partly brought about by a fear that in these troubled times it might be possible for him to lose his own advantage.
Short Roleplay: The lawns stretched green and empty ahead of Selwyn as he trod the well worn path down toward the edge of the Forbidden Forest. There was something about that place, simply because they were constantly being warned to stay away from it.
Selwyn wondered if, if they weren't told to stay out of there, whether anyone would be interested in exploring the place. But of course they would. Gryffindors could always be counted on to do something stupid, no matter whether it ruined things for everyone else.
Whatever. It wasn't like he was going to go into the forest. That would be breaking school rules. He was just going to have a look round the edges. That was completely above board.
