Wand: Purpleheart wood with a Unicorn Tail core. It’s smooth and supple. 12 inches.

Physical Description: Demetri isn’t exactly the most classy guy. He walks with his hands in his pockets, usually with a slouch. He lazes around and drags his feet when he doesn’t feel like it. But Demetri CHOOSES to be this way, and doesn’t care if he’s being boring or lethargic. He is what he is, and he doesn’t want to waste energy.

Demetri’s hair is scruffy and blonde, just like the beard he lets grow on his chin when he doesn’t realize it’s there. He cuts his hair every so often, which is when his hair looks positively strange, but he doesn’t care. He’s just so cool that he doesn’t HAVE to care. Or he just doesn’t notice. Demetri usually has scruff on his face and his hair untouched by his hands. If people start to get concerned, he just throws on a knit hat.

Demetri’s eyes are a light blue and have a lazy look to them most of the time. His facial expressions tend to be very animate and he wears his emotions like it’s the latest style. If he’s sad, you’ll know. If he’s happy, you’ll know. It’s just that simple.

Weighing very little and having the height of 6’2”, Demetri springs concern over those who care for him when he doesn’t eat. The truth is that he eats when no one is around because he’s afraid people will watch him when he’s chewing. It’s a bit of a pet peeve. Demetri has the normal build for a guy who exercises every other day, though a little below average since all he does is a morning jog. He doesn’t have the patience or energy for anything more.

For clothes, Demetri stays in proper attire when he’s working. Otherwise, he wears what one could call hobo clothes. He wears what’s comfortable, not what’s stylish. Demetri relaxes in a t-shirt and jeans, and tries not to get too comfy by resisting the urge to take off his clothes. Which he tends to do at home over the summer.

Build/Body type: Skinny, slightly muscular.
Estimated Height/Weight: 6'2", 165 pounds, give or take.
Hair color: Blonde.
Eye color: Light blue.
Skin color: Caucasian, not too tan but not too pale.
First Impression: Homeless. Strange. Silly.
Any odd/outstanding features?: Has a tattoo of an elephant on his right wrist, hair is sometimes gelled up and/or braided on the sides.

Personality Description: It’s hard for one to really know how Demetri really acts. With his students, he’d be professional, yet still laid back and nice. But with people he knows, Demetri will be a little silly and spontaneous, he can get along with anyone he meets. It’s easy for Demetrius to care for someone, and hard for him to hate them. The last words you’d ever hear come out of his mouth is “I hate you”.

Obviously, Demetri is collected and calm. He’s very lazy and doesn’t do much about it. If someone asks him “What’s for dinner?” he’ll say “Whatever you’re making for me.” Demetri refrains from cooking because it takes too much work and he might burn something… Or everything. And he probably wouldn’t care, nor would he realize that it had happened. Demetri can go days without realizing that he was eating cat food for dessert, not fish cakes, yet he’d still eat it because it comes right out of the can and it’s easier for him.

Of course Demetri cares, he just doesn’t care about useless things like appearance or opinions. If someone gets hurt, he’ll care. But if someone tells him that his house was caved in, he wouldn’t. Demetri is a people person. He has no time for the luxuries of life such as houses with intact roofs.

Demetri is a big activist, also. If it’s House Elves or Werewolves, he will fight for it and support it. He loves nature and all that it holds inside of it. Though he might not get up and shout at people about their crimes, he’ll still wear a pin and maybe say “Aye. Stop that.” If a student is being rude. He’ll only raise his voice if he has the energy to rally with other folks.

History:

Long after Ollis Junior was born, a quiet baby followed suit with the name “Demetrius Wesley Woolfolk”. His family was quite happy, having two boys to take over the family name and take power just as Ollis Woolfolk Senior did. They were the luckiest little boys as soon as they were born. As soon as the mere THOUGHT of them existed. The boys were thought to be the next big entrepreneurs, and follow in their father’s steps.

Of course, not too long after Demetrius turned three, his mother passed away. Demetri was too young to know what had happened to her, but still able to tell his mother wasn’t coming back, and that his father’s employees were taking care of him. And that his father had a new woman that he hugged and kissed just like his mother. He didn’t know she was dead until he turned the rightful age to understand. That was the same age that he understood that Cornelia Woolfolk, his younger sibling, had taken his rightfully earned money.

By the time Demetri started Hogwarts, his whole life seemed sour and unfair. He had managed to bite his tongue and weep only behind closed doors. But children had it worst, so Demetri took this in mind he set off to Hogwarts, where he was sorted into Gryffindor. He met plenty of friends at Hogwarts and it made him not mind home as much. Though he still wanted to strangle little Neely. His older brother was long gone out of the picture.

Demetri’s school years went by fast. He was incredibly good at Divination and Astronomy. His grades were average, but he was very intelligent. For the most part, at least. Potions wasn’t his best subject, so to speak. Demetri thrived with his housemates, whom had taken a liking to his kindness and the way that he was so laid back that their worries seemed to vanish, also. Demetri didn’t, however, ever have a girlfriend. He still lacks the knowledge of how to get one exactly, nor has he ever asked how to.

Demetri eventually did so well with Astronomy that he helped the professor on numerous occasions to help his classmates or answer questions too advanced for anyone else to know. He called it a talent, and didn’t like rubbing it in. But people didn’t get impressed, nor did they care. Everyone had an obsession, and the stars were Demetri’s.

When school ended, Demetrius got small jobs here and there to get money. He moved out as quickly as he could and as far as he could to Scotland. Demetrius had no mind to stay with his father and the girl, whom went to his school, who took his potential life away. He may have been young, but he was old enough now to realize what he’s missing. These jobs usually involved Astronomy in some way.

In 2007, Demetri was working on a project for a scholar he was assistanting, when he discovered something extraordinary. He discovered that one of the stars in the constellation "Taurus" was a planet. A planet full of Minotaurs. Who, at first, were unwelcoming and violent for a while before they finally started responding back to their messages with respect. The wizardry world would surely have another place to go after the muggles destroyed the planet.

When Demetrius turned twenty-three, he begged for a job at Hogwarts and managed to get it from the professor he shadowed for so long that was now retiring. He could have been just an assistant of the sorts, but after the professor mentioned the job opening, he jumped on it. Why not teach the one thing you dream about all the time? Because of his new fame, Hogwarts accepted him as the Astronomy Professor.


Elaborate on your expertise in your field:
As mentioned before, Demetri has been obsessed with Astronomy since his beginning years of Hogwarts. Demetrius has gained quite a talent in the subject and can blow away anyone’s mind if he wanted to. He also shadowed his Professor until school ended and learned all of his techniques and where he could get the finest books. Though the books didn’t matter much to Demetri. Demetrius also studies astronomy in his spare time and can name off any star and tell you when you can see it in the sky and where it is. (Well, most of them, at least). That may not be the best skill to have, but it’s pretty neat to have with an Astronomy professor.

What is your teaching philosophy?:
Though Demetri is relaxed and calm, he doesn’t remain so easy to be with when class gets out of control. He has no trouble telling a student to leave the class and never come back until their lips are sewn shut. Not exactly that aggressive, more so “Hey, Leave the room until you calm down”. Demetri keeps his lessons fun and relaxing. If the students are bad, he’ll say nothing and give them book work until they settle down. Demetri doesn’t believe in harsh discipline, and he doesn’t believe in making friends with his students. But sometimes he might get close to a student or two. Demetri doesn’t care, nor does he realize.


Writing Sample:
Show your character in a scene that illustrates their
best and worst aspects of their personality. Include action, dialog and thought.
With a quick flick of his long hair, Demetrius Woolfolk stepped up into the newly-deserted tower. The fresh chapter in his life was blank and smooth and Demetri could almost admit he was excited. But who wouldn’t be? He was the new professor at school and he chuckled to himself as he said it. “I’m going to make a difference in children’s lives.” His scruffy face formed a smile and he began to set his stuff down. He would make his own money… Even if it wasn’t a fortune.

Demetri swung his wand, lazy, and his things toppled around and sat down in the spots he told them to. He hardly noticed that a lone student had stepped into the tower until one of his make-shift, metal solar systems whizzed past their head. His tired eyes looked the child over and he smiled, “Can I help you?”

“You used to go here… Right?” The boy spoke up.

“Er. Yeah. I suppose.” Demetri caught a rebellious mug and set it down on his desk.

“I remember you… You were that guy that never had a girlfriend.”

Demetri took this in a bit. Out of all the things a boy would think of, that was the strangest one. What about Demetri’s loss of money? His odd style and poise? When he was in school, kids teased him for these things. Not that he didn’t have a girlfriend. Who cares about these things anyways? And how did the child know about his lack of relationships? Demetri’s face scrunched up. “Er… Yeah.” He murmured.

“It’s fine… I never had one, either.”

“I’d assume not… You’re… What…? Twelve?”

“… Seventeen.”

“… No really.”

The boy gave him a glare before saying "Listen... I just wanted to ask when classes start."

"That's a strange way of asking me..." Demetri said, softly. The boy turned his heels and left the class, leaving Demetri bewildered, "Classes start tomorrow?" He called out, still completely shocked by what happened.

Sum up your character in one paragraph:

Demetrius is a lazy boy with loads of potential. He was in Gryffindor when he was in school, and he was an Astronomy bug. He gained a fortune, but then had it ripped away from his little sister, whom he never really spoke to. He’s a very expressive boy and likes to smile. Half the time, Demetri is kind and relaxed. Others, he’s silent… And lethargic. He tries to keep his classes professional, but he tends to break free from rules and hang out with his students. He’s very scruffy and untidy, but still maintains hygiene. Demetri is easy to get along with, which is the complete opposite of most people in his family.

Character Name: Demetrius Woolfolk
Link to Accepted Biography: Link!
Previous Job/Position: Hogwarts Astronomy Professor.
Position Applying For: Freelance Astronomer.

Why have you chosen to change careers?: Well, to put it short, Demetri was fired from his old job. Not only was he a bit of a drunk, he made a few scenes here and there with a few of the young Hogwarts girls, and he even once accused a student of being a "prostitute". While Demetri is usually the nicest man one could meet, he's rather depressed and needs alcohol to make himself happy.

There has been multiple occasions where Demetri has been drunk during class, and even when he's sober his criteria was a bit... Lacking, one could say. It was more so... Nonexistent.

Not to mention, he had a bit of beef with that "prostitute" student, aka his sister, Cornelia. A few students were a bit rude to him because of his quarrels with her and even went as far as ignoring him when he asked them to stay after class so he could speak to them.

Demetri Woolfolk simply just isn't Professor material, and Hogwarts needs someone with more experience and a lot less problems. Therefore, Demetri was unemployed for a few months. He is now, however, working on his own again, as he was before he taught at Hogwarts, and he doesn't get paid all too much unless he discovers/notices something interesting. Which doesn't happen all too often.

Elaborate on your expertise in this new field: It's what Demetri has been doing his whole life. He went through the chapter of trying to teach brats, and now he's on his own. He's a loner, so this works out better for him.

He had perfect scores for Astronomy and Divination and whatnot when he was in school, had multiple apprenticeships around the world, and taught at Hogwarts for a while.

He's renowned for discovering the planet in the Taurus constellation that is made up of only minotaurs. Yet, he still prefers to be self-employed because people are hurtful and judge him. But he's still a very nice young man.

Describe your new job and how you go about doing it: A basic day for Demetri would be sleeping from 7:00AM to 5:00PM, waking up and eating cereal and drinking rum, then staring at the stars for hours until it's morning.

All while not even having to put on clothes... Well, unless he decides to travel around to get a better look at different parts of the sky.

Being on his own means that he doesn't have to do anything for anyone. That also means he doesn't get much money... But that's okay. He rather be poor than be a typical Woolfolk.
