Wand: Jagger's wand is made of Myrtlewood (suited to healing, love charms, and transfiguration) with a Dragon Heartsring Core (which matches his more flamboyant nature). It is quite long- just over fourteen inches- a reflection of his huge and over the top personality. It is pliable with a decorative, albeit bent, shaft.
Physical Description: Jagger is of average height- standing at 5'10". He's more or less average weight. Fully clothed he looks a bit on the thin side, but he has a wiry build and is actually in decent shape. He's not skin and bones, with a well toned middle and good physical health. His hair is dark brown and overgrown. Mostly Jagger wears it messy, going out of his way to style it in such a way that it looks unstyled. Occasionally he slicks it down or parts it to one side or the other, but only if he has something important he needs to look presentable for. His eyes are warm brown and incredibly expressive.
His fashion sense is a little odd. He's really interested in muggle fashion, but doesn't know enough about it to put together an outfit that looks... normal. So he can look a bit eccentric at times. Jagger carries himself with confidence. His whole body moves when he moves. He talks with his hands and is incredibly expressive. You can tell by looking at him that he's a huge ball of endless energy. He dances a lot, even when there's no music, as a way to shake off extra energy.
Personality Description: Jagger is a fun loving, entertaining individual. He's always laughing, smiling, joking, and carrying on. He's a person who is happy with where he currently is in life, and it shows. He's content and satisfied with life, which makes him incredibly easy going. He's slow to anger, and doesn't tend to hold grudges or explode at people. If you've managed to cross Jagger, you must have done something serious to get a rise out of him. Jagger is the sort to play practical jokes on his friends and band mates, trying to keep things lively and exciting in what could easily become a boring and drab life. He also takes his responsibilities seriously. He
likes success, so he does his best to stay on top by doing what has to be done. Jagger is on time for appearances and interviews and is certain to meet all of his obligations head on.
With his bright, energetic personality comes some negative, too. Jagger is definitely an arrogant individual. He knows he's good looking, knows he has a good voice, and is aware that his musical career has taken off. He throws his name and fame around to an obnoxious point. He's proud of who he is and it shows. Jagger doesn't go out of his way to be mean or belittle people, but tends to be dismissive of those he doesn't like right away (fans excluded, of course). The success has gone to his head and if you aren't useful on his rise to the top, he can be rude. He also tends to pick on others as a way of showing affection, but it can go too far. Jagger also picks on people he doesn't like. Though it takes a lot to make him mad, it doesn't take much for Jagger to dislike someone. He's a bit judgmental and quick to form long lasting and often ignorant opinions.
Jagger is a bit of a fickle person. He follows trends. It's important to him to be up to date with what is "cool" in society. One day he is into some hobby or activity or certain place, and the next he can be totally disinterested in the winds of popular opinion have changed. He can be easily influenced by people and pulled in different directions by those with charismatic personalities. Jagger just wants to be a part of the "in crowd".
History: Jagger Stone was born in his family's cottage in Hogsmeade Village, with the aid of a midwife/mediwitch. He came out screaming and full of life, and he's been the same way ever since. An only child, Jagger would find things often went his way. Though his family was middle class, he ended up spoiled early on. The apple of his mother's eye, and his father's first and only son- it seemed that Jagger could do no wrong.
He's always loved music. His father had a huge collection of wrock music and they always had the wireless going. He got his first guitar at the age of six, and has been playing since. He spent most of his time as a child toddling along behind one of his parents- splitting his time between either of their places of employment. His mother working at a beauty salon in Hogsmeade and his father at a broomstick repair shop. Being around the gaggle of women as a boy taught Jagger how to woo the ladies. He adored the attention they lavished on him for compliments and smiles.
Going to Hogwarts was bittersweet. He didn't like knowing home was a short walk away, but that he couldn't just pop in on his parents whenever he wanted. He was quickly sorted into Gryffindor, and fit in well. He did decent in classes- but did not stand out as particularly skilled in any of his subjects. This was mostly due to lack of applying himself rather than lack of skill. He had more important things to do than study or do homework. Like make friends, have fun, and chase girls. Yes, even at the age of eleven Jagger was trying to chase the prettiest girl in his year. Even if his manner of chasing was dipping her hair in ink and teasing her.
It wasn't until reaching Hogwarts and meeting muggleborns that Jagger realized the curse of his name. Coming from a few generations of wizards, it never crossed mom and dad's mind that his name was basically a monument to muggle rock band The Rolling Stones and their front man Mick Jagger. But the few kids at school who did know started to make jokes at his expense- jokes he never understood. Quoting songs at him or doing the infamous Mick Jagger walk and laughing. Thankfully these kids were few and far between, or it might have given him a complex.
Graduating in 2008, his years at Hogwarts were relatively uneventful. He did decent on his owls, NEWTing in only a few subjects. Receiving a passing grade on his NEWTs for Transfiguration, Charms, Defense, and Potions. After graduating he moved back in with his parents in Hogsmeade, picking up a job at the Wizarding Wireless Network (WWN) headquarters in Hogsmeade. He hoped to be a radio personality one day, but started out doing grunt work- working, more or less, as an assistant/receptionist type.
Early 2009 he heard of an open audition via the WWN for a new musical group. He auditioned, and thanks to his looks and personality was given one of the spots in upcoming wizarding boyband Amortentia. He was only 18 at the time, and the idea of being in a band was exciting. He was one of five other young men cast in the group. (At the time of the audition, you had to be between the ages of 17 and 23 to be considered.) Their first album was recorded quickly, featuring a pop mixture of upbeat tracks and slow, crooning love songs. Jagger quickly emerged as one of two "front men" of the boyband, aka "The Heart Throb"- with a strong crooning voice and enough personality to draw in The Ladies. (Other members fit standard boyband types: "The Bad Boy", "The Shy/Nerdy One", "The Older Brother" and "The Cute One".)
Their first single was incredibly popular among young witches and was played regularly on the WWN- titled "Hogwarts Honey". It was a mid-tempo song aimed at gathering fans from that age group, and it worked. Their second single was a slow jam titled "Please Don't Splinch My Heart", quickly followed by upbeat dance track "Can't Scourgify My Love". The most recently released song is another mid-tempo hit called "Avada I Love You". The band is currently recording their second album during down time, along with regular appearances/concerts/interviews. They seemed to blow up overnight, and are hoping to capitalize on their popularity as much as possible as quickly as possible. The second album is rumored to drop in late Spring of 2010.
[1]Describe your job duties and how you go about them: Jagger is one of the front men of wizarding boyband Amortentia. The band is made up of five young, attractive boys with nice voices. Jagger mostly does what his "handlers" tell him too. He performs at concerts, does interviews, radio shows, public appearances, and they are currently in and out of studio to record their second album.
Elaborate on your expertise in your field: Expertise is hardly the appropriate description for what Jagger possesses. The band was put together via audition, and he was chosen due to his good looks, vivacious personality, crooner voice, and capability to learn choreography. His expertise? Being a heart throb.
Sum up your character in one paragraph: Jagger is a recent Hogwarts graduate who has made it big almost overnight in wizarding boyband Amortentia. He's an easy going, light hearted sort of guy at his best. At his worst he's fickle, dismissive, and judgmental. The opinions of others mean a lot to him and he desperately wants to follow trends and be a part of the "in crowd". He loves his recent success and fame and intends to do what he must to stay at the top of his game.
