CHARACTER INFORMATIONCharacter name: Poseidon St Oswald
Previous and/or Current Character(s) if applicable: Circe Blackwood, Rosie Blackwood,
Margaux Hartley
Character age: 30
Character education: Hogwarts ‘37
Strength and weaknesses (details please):Sei’s strength lies in charms. He traveled the world searching for magical artifacts so that
involved breaking some curses and such so it was very heavily involved with charms. It wasn’t
very involved with conjuring and summoning though, which is his weakness, he was not skilled
at it in school and didn’t excel at it afterwards either. He would much rather go out and find stuff
instead of just conjuring it up with no problem. His biggest strength lies in his knowledge of the
past, which doesn’t really have to do with the present magic, but since he traveled looking for
artifacts he had always found a fascination in the history of magic.
Physical description:Tall, very broad and in shape. He has a smile that could stop hearts and a full hair of golden
brown hair. Sometimes he gets little whispies on his chin, but most of the time he’s clean
shaven. Obviously the better looking St Oswald.
Personality (nice, rude, funny etc. Paragraph please.):He is an absolute sweetheart. He smiles even when things are bad and doesn’t like it when
people are debbie downers. He’s also quite eccentric and likes odd things like flying carpets. He
makes things fun and likes to live on the edge. He’s also very smart, but he doesn’t like to be
arrogant about it. He believes that ignorance can be taught and that nobody is truly stupid.
Anybody can learn if they choose to do so. He believes that if something is taught in the right
way it would impact someone on a more personal level instead of a general level making the
knowledge more personal.
Hopes and dreams. Why are you teaching at Hogwarts?:Ever since Sei was a little boy his grandfather would take him into the archives under one of the
many St Oswald estates and show him many artifacts that the family had collected throughout
the years. Taught him about the world around them and the many possibilities that could
happen, mostly good opportunities. Sei wants to make his mark on the world in a positive
manner, and now that he is going to be an uncle he would like to stick around more instead of
globe trotting. He hopes to share his dream for history with the youth because he thinks
everybody should know their past.
Biography (500 words minimum. There is never such a thing as too much.): Poseidon was born into The Most Ancient and Noble House of St. Oswald (as his brother referred to them. To Sei they
were just family). He was born into the richness but, as the younger twin he had very little of the actual responsibility.
Which was just fine for him. He had money. He had power. He had good looks. He had it all. If he wasn’t the first heir
to the family, he was just fine with it. Hermes could handle the politics and all that came along with it. Well he was
fine with it until he started getting older. When he started realizing the favoritism everybody showed his brother it
started weighing on him, the emotions being hidden deep down.
He was born second to his twin, Hermes, by ten minutes. Born the runt of the two boys he was never the golden boy.
He never would be either. While Hermes spent time with their father and grandfather learning how to take care of the
family and all that came with it. Instead he spent time with his mother, reading books of tales and treasures beyond
his reach.
He didn’t have the family pride his brother possessed, but he was never to proud to use the family name to his
advantage. Be it for job opportunities, for personal gain, or for more… carnal desires. He merely had to say his name
and whatever he wished for would come flocking in. His brother viewed this as reckless, but why should he care? He
wasn't much for giving his brother every little thing he wanted just like everybody else had, even though he loved his
brother more than anyone. He was his twin after all, his other half.
As he left Hogwarts he soon picked up an unorthodox job travelling the world hunting down magical artifacts and
muggle artifacts that seemed to be cursed. Studying them. Learning how to use them in order to better understand
the world they live in before they get locked away in the penthouses of his wealthy clients from across the globe.. He
knew the answers to mysteries only a handful of people are capable of finding out.
He was never worried about remaining in trouble for long, no matter how much trouble he tended to stir up. At the
end of the day, he knew his family would help him out of sticky situations and he would walk away from
repercussions.
Sure, he was spoiled and never saw limits in his entitlement. But why should he be bound by limits? He was Poseidon
Armando William St. Oswald. What wasn’t at his fingertips?
On his last trip home he had run into his brother, receiving grave news that his father and grandfather were both
dying from dragon pox. In order to keep his family together he sacrificed his passion in order to be there for his twin
brother who had just inherited the entire estate. Sure Sei was jealous, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want his brother
to succeed, even though he thinks his brother hates him. All in all he just wants to be excepted by his family, but that
is something he fears will never happen.
SAMPLE ROLEPLAY(Please respond to to this in third person past tense. Do not write the other characters'
reactions. Only your own.) It was the largest office in Hogwarts and, perhaps to students and newcomers, the most
intimidating. The shelves were filled with various odds and ends, with a place of honor for the
Sorting Hat, and the walls held all the portraits of past Headmasters and Headmistresses.
In the middle of the room sat a large desk. Everything was in order, for the current occupant had
always despised a messy desk. It was the sign of a messy mind, and she had always favored
neatness.
A clock sat on the desk, which currently showed the time to be 2:05. The meeting was
supposed to begin at 2:00 precisely.
Along with order, Anneka valued punctuality. She was a very busy woman these days. Even
during the summer, she had a number of matters to attend to. Interviewing and hiring staff was
only of those matters. The newest potential member of her staff wasn't making a good
impression.
She paced the room, black heels clicking against the stone floor. When the door finally opened,
Anneka turned, her expression reminiscent of a Russian winter. "You are
late."
Explain yourself was what her face said.
Roleplay Response:Poseidon was running late. He wouldn’t have been late if his dog didn’t tear up his
recommendation letter. Think about it, applying for a professor position and telling the person
doing the interview that the dog ate the letter. Professor’s didn’t even believe students when
they would say such things. So he spent time taping it back together as fast as he could, luckily
the dog didn’t swallow any of the pieces.
He ran through the halls like a mad man trying to get to her office on time, he also knew exactly
where it was. He had last been there more than a decade ago, but he was in the office often. It
was safe to say he had been a prankster. It was all behind him though.. Or at least for the
interview it was all behind him. He was mostly good, but he could have his moments of
maniacal, harmless fun.
“I’m here!” He said in exasperation as he ran through the door, out of breath. The lady behind
the desk did not look pleased. She looked quite cold actually. It made a slight chill creep up his
spine at the site of the woman’s eyes. Poseidon wasn’t scared of anything or so he thought up
until that moment.
"You are late."“I’m sorry, mam.” He said as he took a seat in front of the woman’s desk, forcing a smile upon
his face. Nervous was the last thing he wanted to come off as. “I would tell you what happened,
but it might just seem like an excuse and I don’t want to give you any excuses.” He said as he
pulled out the taped together letter and laid it in front of the woman. It looked pretty scrappy, but
it was all he had at the moment.
“Poseidon St. Oswald. Pleasure to meet you.” He didn’t really know where to go from there so
he waited for the icey woman to either kick him out of her office or to ask him some questions.
Either way, it would be destiny.
