EXTENDED APPLICATION -- PLEASE DO AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH ON EACH OF THESE, UNLESS THEY ARE STATED TO BE OPTIONAL
Personality: Ramsey is a very ambitious young man who dreams of one day achieving world domination through amazing cooking - or something like that. He is forever coming up with ambitious get-rich-quick schemes which usually start out quite successfully, but he rarely sees them all the way through to the end - not because he hasn't got the patience, but rather because he's come up with something even better and more fantastic.

Financial security is something very important for Ramsey, being the oldest of seven in a household which teeters just on this side of poverty half the time. He learned at a young age how to control his siblings with bribes of food, and continued to do this with fellow students upon coming to Hogwarts.

Strengths: Both magical and personality: Ramsey shares his father's love of cooking and began experimenting himself at a young age. While not yet an excellent cook, his skills are quite advanced for his age, something he has found to be a great advantage in Potions. His interest in and familiarity with different spices and seasonings have allowed him to do well in Herbology as well, which is just as well, as he's not academically accomplished in much of anything that has no relation to cooking. However, since he hopes to run his own restaurant (or fast-food franchise, he's not terribly picky when it comes to the form he expects his eventual success to come in), he tries hard to pay attention to and do well with math - which translates into a pretty decent grade in Arithmancy. Magic-wise Ramsey is not particularly talented nor particularly lacking in any subject area. He does well in Charms when he isn't doodling get-rich-quick schemes instead of writing notes.

Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: Though he figured that Divination would be perfect for helping him with his schemes to become an instant billionaire, Ramsey finds it to be a dull and useless class, since there isn't any real substance to it as near as he can tell. History of Magic is equally dull, and he does poorly in that as well, as he'd much rather work on more interesting things instead of pay attention. Similarly, Ramsey's plans usually fall through due to his inability to stick with any one of them to see it through to the end. Also, he sometimes gets so deep in some of his schemes that he really doesn't have any way out, which has proved disastrous on more than one occasion in the past.

Fears: Ramsey's two biggest fears are poverty and something bad happening to his family. The way finances are in his family sometimes, both of these have come very near to happening concurrently. Though his main goal is to advance his own self with his numerous schemes, a large part of why he comes up with them is that he'd like to be able to help out his parents with caring for himself and his siblings.

History: Nothing particularly shocking or unusual thus far. Ramsey grew up in Reading, the oldest of (so far) eight children. When he was little he had an uncanny knack for getting into things, even those things that were so completely out of his reach that he should've simply been physically unable to reach them. After his Hogwarts letter came, however, it suddenly became a lot more clear how such things were able to happen.

If nothing else, Ramsey's parents are grateful for his magical talents, because they mean that Ramsey (and his crazy schemes) is out of their hair for most of the year. It's not that they don't love their eldest child... it's just that he has this annoying tendency of using his siblings to further his plans of world conquest (or something).

Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Brown hair and eyes, pale & freckled complexion, beanpole body (though a bit pudgy around the middle), 5'6", kinda plain if a bit on the intense side when it comes to facial features.

Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional: close to his parents; also close to his siblings, though he's very much the leader of the pack when it comes to that crew
Friends: Optional:
Other: Optional:

Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval, and if you are given special considerations, you are liable to be used for plots at the Plot Mod's command. He's a really good cook! Er... also has an old, third-hand Cleansweep that he bought for a very small amount on Diagon Alley over the past summer and is currently trying to fix and soup up.

COMMUNITY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS -- ONLY ANSWER THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER
Hogwarts:
Year: 4th
House: Slytherin
Why are they in that house? Ramsey is a very ambitious individual. He can be rather cut-throat at times, and very inclined to looking at the financial side of things before the moral side.
Position: (Subject to mod approval)

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
Finger running down the text of the page, Ramsey carefully followed the directions given in the cookbook beside him. Well. Mostly following it - he was substituting right and left, sometimes because he didn't have the ingredient that was specifically called for, sometimes because he couldn't figure out what the author of the book had been thinking, adding those two particular ingredients together when this one would obviously work so much better. And the whole bit about letting it sit at room temperature was complete nonsense - he could cut that in half just by adding a few things that would compliment what was already in the bowl.

Adding a final dash of salt, Ramsey covered the bowl with a cloth and turned around with a grin on his face. "All right now," he said, raising his wooden spoon high and surveying his troops. "Let's see... Tony, you cleaned the bathrooms yesterday... Bridget, you washed the downstairs windows, Jamie did the upstairs... Frank vacuumed, twins cleaned up everything, and Elly..." He turned to the youngest child, staring up and sucking on her fingers. "Elly, you get this one free."
