Personality:
William is nice, funny, friendly to everyone, and makes friends easily. He is easygoing, and doesn't get mad, ever. He has never gotten mad before, and let's people's rude comments about him, fly right over his head. He doesn't dislike anyone, and gets along with mostly everybody, but some people just don't like him because he won't get mad at them.
William is a happy person, and his life has been pretty much normal, so he has nothing to be sad, or mad about. He used to get teased a lot when he was a little kid, because of the way he acted, but he forgives and forgets easily.
William is a halfblood, and even though his dad used magic most of the time, William doesn't like using magic. He thinks it's a lazy way of getting thing things you want done, done. Even though he has a wand, he uses it only when he really needs to. He does think Magic is cool though.
History:
William's past has been pretty normal. He was born in england, and always had a mom and a dad that were married, and he was an only child. Both his parents made good money. His dad was a wizard, and his mom was a muggle. So William is a halfblood. His dad used magic around the house, and even though William thought it was cool, he also thought it was a lazy way to get things done.
William was often in fights during school. Kids would pick on him because he didn't care what nasty comments they said about him. He would just smile at them, and walk away. He didn't care what they think.
When William was 11, he was sent to a private magic school. His parents had been hoping the kids wouldn't pick on him there. But William still got picked on a lot, mostly by the snobbier kids. But he had made his own little group of friends, was was considered popular in his group.
William graduated the Private school when he was 18, and he was one of the best in his class. He thought the classes were interesting, and were much more funner then the one's in the muggle schools.
William wasn't sure of which job he should take. So he looked at what jobs he could be, as a muggle. He knew no one would ever found out about his magic, because he very rarely used it. William finally decided to go to college, and learn how to be an English Professor. He thought English was a very interesting subject.
He graduated College when he was 25. It had taken him so long because he made sure to take any extra classes that he could, so he could be a very good Professor. And he wanted to teach at a high school, so he had to learn more then he would if he taught at a elementary or middle school.
He found a job at a small high school in the same town as he lived in. It was a very small town, so it was a very small school, only about 100 - 200 kids in it. But William liked it, and made many friends that were students, there. He worked there for 10 years before the school got so big, that they had to hire on more people, and thought William wouldn't be able to handle it, so they fired him. He was disappointed, but respected their decision. He then moved on to see what else he could do.
William was now 35, and wanted something a bit more interesting to do. He started researching Magical Creatures, Charms, and Quidditch. Those were three things he had always thought were very interesting. Even though he still didn't like using a wand to do things, he thought Charms could come in handy sometimes.
He had always liked animals, and thought the Magical Creatures were amazing. And he had always wanted to fly on a broomstick since he was 3 when his father told him about it, but never had the chance. William was able to work as a janitor at the high school, while researching these things. But once he was 39, he couldn't handle being a janitor anymore. He wanted to do something else.
William didn't have to go far, because he found a school called University of Magic, and decided to apply for a position there.
Roleplay Sample:
[From another site]
It was a nice sunny day out, with very few clouds in the sky. Many students stood outside, where the Care of Magical Creatures classroom was. They were looking around for a Professor, but didn't see one. The Professor, Jack Smith, was nowhere to be seen. The students started talking to each other, asking, "Where is the Professor?". A man that looked to be in his early 30's, but was actually almost 40, limped up to the students. He stared at them all for a few seconds, then smiled at them. "Hello Everyone. Sorry I'm late. I was talking to another Professor, and forgot I had a lesson going on." he said. He then looked around. "Okay, well we are going to start fairly simple. I want to teach you all about minor Creatures, that the Ministry of Magic has classified as XX" Jack said. He then motioned for the students to follow him. He limped to just the edge of the forest, and pointed.
The students leaned in, and looked the best they could, but they could not see where he was pointing at. Most of then shrugged their shoulders, and some said "What are we looking at?". Jack smiled and shook his head. "I suppose I should explain what we are trying to find" he said, "What you are going to learn today, is called a Bowtruckle. The Ministry of Magic has classified it as XX, and that is why I am teaching you that today. The Bowtruckle is a tree-gaurdian creature, and is found in West of England, Southern Germany, and some Scandinavian forests. These creatures are very hard to spot, as you can see, because they are very small, only 8 inches in height. They are apparently made of bark, and twigs, and have two small brown eyes." Jack said. He smiled as some of the students nodded their head and said "I see it now!". Jack figured they would once he explained what they were looking for.
"The Bowtruckle eats insects, and are peaceful, shy creatures, unless the tree which it lives in, is threatened. It is then been known to leap down onto the person disturbing the tree, and to gouge their eyes out, with their long, sharp fingers." Jack said. And with that, many students who had tried to go near the tree, stepped back quickly. Jack smiled, then continued. " An offering of Woodlice will distract the Bowtruckle long enough to let a witch or wizard remove some of the wood from it's tree." Jack said. He then turned towards the students. "Well now you know all about a Bowtruckle. You don't have any homework this lesson, but I want you to try and remember all about the Bowtruckle in case you come across one in the future. But you must remember, if you want to go near a Bowtruckles tree, you should have some woodlice with you, unless you want your eye's torn out." Jack said, smiling at the students as they gave him a face, saying they didn't want to think about it. "Have a good day now" Jack said.
