Jax is like the tip of the iceberg, and his history is the rest of the iceberg. He is Asian-European, of Chinese and German descent. He grew up somewhere in Germany with his father, Ansel Wolfe. Since he was 5, he has been living with a single parent in a huge mansion. It was unnecessary, really. They had 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a rooftop area, and a magic practice room. Who occupied the other rooms? No one really. They were disconnected from their relatives and had no one but each other. Well, of course, aside from the occasional escort for his father, the house elves, and the talking paintings.

Mr. Wolfe is part of an elitist pureblood group with very narrow minds and shallow thinking, much to his dismay. The membership has just been passed down from generation to generation, and he actually broke it by having a child with a muggle. Their relationship was very secretive as to not suffer the judgement of the other purebloods, but one way or another, the woman got pregnant with his child.

They were able to keep it a secret for 5 years, until during a conference in his mansion, little Jax disobeyed his father and snuck out the window to intrude on their meeting. “You can’t keep me inside Papa!”, was the line that ruined everything. “Papa?”, the others asked. “I didn’t know you had a son.”, the leader of the group suspiciously questioned. Ansel could remember the day so vividly. He faked an explanation saying that he got one of his escorts pregnant. The group demanded to see the woman and find out whether she was a wizard or not. Alas, when she was instructed to perform magic, she couldn’t. So she was executed by Ansel himself. To this day he hides the fact that he truly loved her. They all agreed to cover up the event as suicide.

Brokenhearted and depressed, he completely changed his attitude towards his son. He raised Jax harshly and instilled into him hatred of muggles. Ansel didn’t know what he was doing. He was confused and hated everything, his wife, his son, his group- everything. Love can make someone do very dark things, and they don’t make sense sometimes. He blamed his wife’s death on Jax, and because he loved her, he treated Jax coldly with a deep grudge. Conflicting, and wrong, but who would think right if put in such a situation? This was a huge influence to Jax’s personality. He was led to believe that he was born a pureblood, and taught to think highly of himself. This caused Jax to be quite a bit of a bully to others, ignorant to the fact that his mom was a muggle. All we can do is wonder how he is going to react once he finds out.

Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Slytherin or Gryffindor

Personality: Jax is like your typical bad boy, almost boring and cliche, really. The bad boy with the dark past. But only to specific types of people, for example, muggles. He’s a buddy-buddy guy who loves to make friends and to party. To girls, he can be a real sweetheart. He does have certain annoying habits like constantly brushing his hair up and exaggerated hand gestures.

He has a very conflicting personality and can turn from a happy-go-lucky guy to someone cold and menacing in a snap. Even he himself doesn’t understand his personality. He obviously has much to learn and needs more time to mature.

Appearance: He has thick bushy brows and protruding ears that have caused quite some teasing, dubbed as “the Monkey”. His lips are plump and tinged pink, with his hair always in his signature undercut. Oh and did I mention, he wears make up? Normal make up is usually lip tint and neutral eyeshadow which according to him, “enhances the appearance of his monolid”. He is usually seen wearing revealing clothing like deep v-necks or a loose wife beater, paired with ripped jeans and a dark colored jacket.

Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Flowers. Jax just didn't get the point of them. They were pretty sure, but they were temporary. Eventually they would wrinkle up and brown. His idea of beauty was something eternal, something that would last forever. These were the thoughts that ran through his head as he picked a petal off a scarlet red flower, before whimsically twirling it around his soft fingers that never once did a chore. Whenever he'd buy flowers he'd buy a bouquet (of course, for a girl of interest, not himself), never a pot. Could he ever learn how to nurture a growing, living thing?

His eyebrows scrunched up, almost comically. There was a time when he believed that plants (aside from magical ones) did not have feelings, therefore, they were not living things.

He bit his chapped lips, licking at the dry skin. Must've been the new lip product he was using, it was horrible. He kept in mind to send a letter about it tomorrow. Absently, he walked around with his hands running through the flora.

"You blasted rat! Where are you?"

An eyebrow was raised at this. Jax folded his arms and watched the scene from afar. The guy was frantically running around searching for some pest. Why would anyone want a rat? To make things even better, the guy's nose was running too! Jax choked on a laugh and facepalmed at his lame joke.

"Can I help you with something? It is not polite to stare."

Jax gave him an amused grin, thinking maybe they could get along, despite his unkindly reaction to the boy's embarrassment.

"Well, well... Aren't you quite the charmer? With your runny nose and your penchant for rodents?", he snickered.

Hi Jaxton!

Your application is looking great! I've just got a few questions about Jaxton's bio. If he was five when his mother died, does he have any memories of her? I'm assuming when you talk about his father and mother having a relationship, that they were secretly married, since you refer to her as his wife later on? I'm also curious how Jaxton ended up at Hogwarts since he lives in Germany.

Also, I think you might be about a decade too early with wearing v-neck t-shirts.

If you could clear those things up and post your entire application below, we'll be happy take another look. Thanks!
and if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free
to those who ground me, take a message back from me

Love your application, just a quick background on the tank-top to make sure it still fits the picture you are painting:

Men and women in the US did not start wearing the 'tank top' as a fashionable outer garment until the 1970′s. The tank top was strictly an undergarment, and was coined a 'tank top' due to its resemblance to the garments women wore into 'swimming tanks' or pools. By the 1950s a tank top is still primarily used as an undergarment, so by openly wearing tank-tops (they weren't coined wife-beaters until recently), your character is basically wearing underwear, or a step up from underwear, and this might be seen as pretty uncouth, or rude.

As for Jax's mother, I too was interested in whether he remembers even the slightest bit of the woman. He doesn't remember much, detail wise obviously and clearly no question about whether she was a wizard or muggle has ever come up. Does he think about her? Does he try not to think about her since he's been told that she took her own life? Will the occasional memories, lack of memories or musings of his mother ever affect Jax?

Whenever he'd ask his father questions about his mother, Jax would get punished and unspeakable things would happen to him. Overtime, he learned to not ask any more questions. All the questions were just bottled up inside his mind eating at him. Why did she kill herself?
 Why couldn't he remember her? It was driving him mad and he was mad. Mad at himself for not knowing, mad at his father for not telling. It was just a series of absent answers to his questions that he had to live with. Maybe one day, he'd seek the answers out for himself. And when he does, all we can do is wonder how he is going to react once he finds out the real story.
