Sam McKinnon
Your name is Sam. Your birthday isn't today - it was last August, the 27th to be specific - and so you have been sixteen for quite some time. You have been sorted into Ravenclaw, and enjoy cosplay, especially dressing up as your favorite alien troll clown, and origami. You own a ferret named King Robert, a name which will earn any inquirer a hefty lesson about Scottish history. You exhibit a notable aversion to the North Tower, Professor Trelawney in particular, though you will go out of your way to avoid any serious scholar of the art of Divination. Nobody knows why. You are known, at the breakfast table, to possess an almost-religious devotion to preventing the consumption of jam and jelly of all sorts, abstaining entirely and without exception with regards to your own meals. Again, this is a mystery, one of many pertaining to the elusive Sam McKinnon.


Basic Information
Name: Sam McKinnon
Birthday: August 27
Blood: Muggle-born
Year: 6
House: Ravenclaw
Languages: English


Physical description

Image


This teen stands at about 5'6", after a final surprise growth spurt was completed. He's quite skinny, his features slender and delicate. His skin is pale, his eyes are light blue, and his light blonde hair is cut short in a simple style. He speaks with a Scottish accent.

He wears two silver curved barbell piercings in his right eyebrow, spaced about 1 cm apart and positioned just right of center over his eye.

Image


Currently, his hair is bright blue.


Personality
Sam is usually quiet or even nervously standoffish in large groups, and often is considered a loner. But those who get to know him on his own terms are rewarded with a surprisingly articulate and loyal friend.


Early life

Sam usually refuses to discuss any details of his life before Hogwarts beyond the fact that his parents are muggles and that they live in Scotland.


Life at Hogwarts

Upon arrival at Hogwarts, Sam was quickly sorted into Ravenclaw house. He enjoyed the private rooms and studious atmosphere of that house, his studies thriving even as his social life faltered. Slowly, but surely, he found a small network of friends among his classmates. But even as he opened up to them in some ways, he always held a bit of himself back, as if unsure how the entire friendship thing worked.

He's often seen spending time with fellow Ravenclaws Jade Celine and Peran Wricken, though a curious rapport has sprung up between disturbingly strange Gryffindor student Hellewise Blackwing and the quiet Ravenclaw.

During his fourth year, he also started spending time with fellow Ravenclaw Ruoy Trams, with some students even whispering that they should be a couple. They grew even closer as the year went on, with their status as boyfriend and girlfriend simply assumed among other students, regardless of confirmation from either of the pair. Apparently, such a thing was not to be, as they've rarely been seen in each other's company since the holidays.

A brief romantic engagement with his long-time friend Hellewise Blackwing came to a halt at the start of his sixth year, due to conflicts in their class schedules. The two have pledged to remain close friends, however, and their post-breakup relationship seems to be significantly less rocky than that of Sam and Ruoy, which continues to be a frustrating obstacle. Lately, he's been dating Slytherin prefect Ronni Malle, though they seem to be suffering from a lack of time to see each other out of class.

Cosplay


Gamzee Makara / Bard of Rage / That D*** Clown

Image

Black jeans and a black turtleneck(with a purple capricorn sign on the chest) are paired with a pair of purple trainers and black gloves. His face is painted grey, with white face paint mimicking a clown's make-up. Two plastic painted horns emerge from a messy black wig. The costume may be accessorized by twin painted juggling sticks, or with a bottle of "Faygo."

Spades Slick

Image

Black suit, dress shirt and tie. Black shoes and gloves. Black hose worn over the face, along with a black fedora and black mask with white features painted on it.

Updated in general. Added a new general(and more IC-friendly, consider things listed there to be general knowledge) description, and music. Also tweaked a few more things.

Updated for sixth year, including his appearance, life at Hogwarts section, OWL grades, NEWT courses, and portrait. A new portrait download is linked at the top, which as usual should be downloaded at your own risk, etc. It's been tested in my game, and appears to work properly.
