Biography:
Before the slip, Nordu was five; before the slip, he was going to muggle school- because his parents wanted him to have an experince with muggles. He would run all over the place, usually when it was outside, especially during breaks.
He was about to be going on his pre-school's break in the middle of a cold January of 1973, when something happened while everyone was playing with their toys. Nordu was minding his own buisness trying to play with his toy car, all the while thinking of the sky. When- he didn't know how to explain it- but when he pushed the car it continued to move for a little bit, then flew up and hit one of the clouds hanging on the wall! His teachers (if you want to call them that) just thought he threw a toy like every other child; he knew better.
They asked him why he threw the car, and he kept saying "It flew, it flew!"
However, his teachers wouldn't listen- they wanted none of it. It was already a hectic day with children getting sick, so they just called his parents, saying, "Your son has been causing troubles all day, throwing things all over the place, could you come pick him up."
At this point his mum had a hunch as to what was happening. She came and picked him up, and asked, "So you threw something again?"
Nordu responded with "No, no mum the car drove, and then it flew all on it's own!" As Nordu said those words she realized he wasn't a squib after all. Nordu had no magical hints until the age of five, it was weird for his family. Then the Time Slip happened...
Before the slip had happened, Nordu's family were fascinated by had wanted to better understand and live with muggles. So they lived in the muggle world for years, his predecessors moving from place to place after generations as need arose, to avoid suspicion. When Nordu's parents inherited the house, they welcomed their aunts and cousins, wheather they were magical or not. It seems strange but his mother (who is excellent with charms), set up a few protection charms to make sure rumors didn't spread. These protections only went so far, and Nordu being the clever little boy that he was, was eventually not allowed outside anymore, due to his strangeness, in the words of muggles.
Following the Slip, Nordu's household went from big to moderate; his family had owned the house for generations, luckily. However it was confusing, as there were tons of people in the house one day, then a scarce few the next. Nordu's cousin's (once-removed) husband Timothy disappeared- along with Ada, and Travis and Carlotta, who were his muggle cousins. At first he thought they had taken a trip- at least that's what he was told. Over time, they faded into being 'imaginary friends'.
Years passed, and as Nordu grew older he understood more and more that he was a wizard, and not like his sister Lisa, a squib. As he got older though, he still had the same fasination for the sky. He would try more and more to get outside, yet his mum insisted he stay inside; after past endeavours she didn't want anything to happen again. And yet, Nordu always found a way to get outside and play and be a kid.
When Nordu received his Hogwarts letter, he was eager to go outside, meet new people and potentially learn how to get to the clouds. His mum shared his view- about meeting new people. With going to Hogwarts he will be able to hone his skills, and learn how he might be able to get up to the clouds.
House Request:
Ravenclaw
Personality:
Likes: The sky, clouds, astronomy, the sun, the moon. As long as he can go outside/ see the sky it's a good day, there is need for all weather.
Dislikes: Being held indoors all day, things that change appearance i.e. chameleon, caterpillars, etc.. When he gets grounded he will try and find at least a window to look out like he just wishes he could be up there.
Fears: Being buried in the earth, or watching the sun dark not during an eclipse. He has had nightmares of Nordu, and some other people, trying to stop an evil, evil wizard trying to dark out the sun for some odd reason, but the wizard succeeded and Nordu and co. watched the sun darken, then he would wake up...
Dreams: Hopes that one day he could fly up in the clouds, or even live up there...
Attitude: He is the type of guy that it just feels like the room is brighter once he enters it, he is usally joking but knows how to catch himself before anything, "magical" slips out; he is 11, after all. Nordu is the type of guy who has everyone come over and try and be happy, so that one loner can be happier.
Appearance:
Hair: Weather blown, semi-kept hair, a dirty blonde color. He loves making his hair fly around using minor things he's learned, this is how his parents found out he's a wizard.
Build: His adolescent build is normal compared to other kids his age. He doesn't mind looking the same as the muggle kids when he goes to school with them, he knows he has "abilities" that they don't have, He's lucky he has parents who not only know they're magic but also how to talk to muggles.
Stature: He stands at about 1.61m (5'3.5"). His parents see him as a liability to the wizarding world so they decide to do anything possible to make sure he was ready to go to Hogwarts, doing everything from finding old textbooks to his parents going through old robes, both his dad's (Ravenclaw) and his mum's (Hufflepuff). In his muggle school, people always went to him for random information; he always seems to know a lot about odd things.
→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Option I:
Nordu was sitting there, talking about the game with his friends. He wasn't on the team, but wished he was, ever since he'd heard about Quidditch.
Throwing his hands up in the air Nordu complained, "Why won't they let first years fly," calming down and letting his hands drop, "it sure would be great out there in the sky."
It was then that Nordu noticed James- he was the chaser that missed the game-winning point for his house. However, his friends seemed to be ignoring James as he was sitting there. An invisibility snub, thought Nordu, pretending he's not even there. He decided to walk over to talk to him.
"Sorry fellas I have to go the bathroom." he offered in excuse, well getting up.
Following James, he could tell that the boy was upset about the match- he hadn't changed out of his uniform yet, and he had that anxious walk about him. I am definitely going to help James. There is something about him though, he seemed so confident getting out there and the field ealier, surely one simple mistake isn't the end of the world.
"WHAT! Haven't you ever seen a loser before?" James said.
Upon hearing those words, Nordu felt awful. He had seen a loser before. I was that loser before, he thought, except you know, for a street rugby group back in South Flobbets.
"Why don't you just take a picture!" James continued.
Nordu started getting pumped, knowing that the Great Hall wouldn't hear him, he spoke loudly using his hands, "Yes I have seen a loser before, I have been that loser! The best thing you can do now is go change out of that uniform. I bet you feel like eveyone is judging you- they are. If you get out of the suit then you become like everyone else and blend in. Then you could give up and never do Quidditch again, or you could practice those types of shots just in case they happen again."
I might actually be scaring him more than helping him... Nordu thought.
