BACKGROUND

Family background and description (Not too detailed but do not make it short):

Richard comes from an ancient pure-blood family. For generations, every member of it has been sorted into Slytherin, and they have been proud of that tradition. Richard's mother died from a disease a few years before he started attending Hogwarts. His father, Henry Adlard, is a stockbroker at Gringotts.

Personal history (what happened to your character until his current age, at least a paragraph about this, also this section requires to be constantly updated):

Richard spent his entire childhood in his family’s estate. After his mother died, his father quit his job so that he could take care of him. The following period was quite stressful for Richard, as his father made him practice and learn about magic very often so that he could be the best once he comes to Hogwarts. Therefore, being able to finally go leave his home was a considerable relief for him.

He is vain, ambitious, attracted to power and cannot tolerate not being the best in anything. He can be considered to be brave, but always tends to think of the possible outcomes before acting, and doesn’t want go get in trouble when it is not necessary. However, even if he was raised in a Pure-Blood family, he doesn’t have prejudices against Muggles and muggle-borns, and despite all that, he can be quite charming and friendly once you get to know him.

Role-play example (at least 50 words). Role-play as your character in any situation you want.

Richard stopped in front of a wall in the Castle cellars. "Basilisk" he clearly said, and watched as the wall moved to reveal a narrow passage. He took it and walked to the center of the room, looking around him. The Slytherin Common Room was exactly as his father had described it. It was a low-ceilinged, dungeon-like place with greenish lamps and chairs, lots of low backed black and dark green leather sofas with buttons, skulls, and dark wood cupboards. Satisfied, he advanced to the dormitories, and discovered that his luggage was already there.

Coming back to the main area, he wondered where all the other Slytherins were. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the passage. Turning towards the door, he eagerly waited to see who it was.
