CHARACTER DETAILS
Physical description: Sirius is tall and broad, around 5'10 and quite a muscular, toned build. He has dark, straight hair that is just slightly longer than his ears, which he often slicks back out of habit, and grey eyes. He is good-looking, and knows it, using his appearance to gain favour with the ladies. He has a laugh like a bark.
Personality and Interests: Sirius Black is a born troublemaker. Along with James Potter and the other Marauders, he likes to cause trouble and play pranks, preferably on Severus Snape or the Slytherins, and will use any excuse to do so.
Sirius is very playful and loyal, traits that explain why he is a dog when he transforms. He can also be very stubborn, often taking something past the point of fun into the realms of dangerous. Because he is loyal to his friends, he will also hold a grudge against people like Severus as his reasoning is that Severus may not have done something today, but he is probably planning something for tomorrow and so the best tactic is to attack before being attacked. He is a good liar, using his charm to get around Professors and girls alike to try to get what he wants.
Sirius is a definite flirt (or as the Marauders like to call him, man-slut), and while his preference is usually for women, he will flirt with anyone who is attractive, male or female. Good looking, and vain with it, he truly believes he is the best looking guy in the school and very little will ever shake that self-confidence, unless his appearance is threatened. Occasionally with his close friends, he will slip into a self-reflective mood, and Remus is a good moral compass and sounding board for Sirius.
Sirius is, in general, loud, outgoing and loves to be the centre of attention, often creating situations just so he can have all eyes on him. He likes to swim in the lake so he can show off his toned body, and his general interests involve trying to get into all the good-looking girls' pants and causing trouble with the Marauders. He has a terrible memory for names, and has been slapped before for calling a girl the wrong name.
History: Sirius grew up in a pureblood house that was very anti-Muggle with a younger brother, Regulus, in London. He was sorted into Gryffindor when he joined Hogwarts which immediately put a barrier between him and his family (who have all been Slytherins) that he has been building on ever since. He likes to spend as much time as possible away from home, going to his friends houses in holidays or staying at Hogwarts whenever possible.
Sirius, having grown up in a pureblood family, always knew he was going to be a wizard eventually, being surrounded by magic on a daily basis. He knew the words to the Unforgiveable Curses at eight years old, even if he couldn't perform them. He finally manifested wizarding powers when trying to curse his younger brother when he had annoyed him, and it worked (Regulus grew some delightful warts for a while). Sirius was relieved when he found he was a wizard, as to be a Squib would be a matter of great shame in the Black family house, and he could escape and go to Hogwarts.
Sirius loves his time at Hogwarts, especially his Marauder friends and causing mischief. With lessons, he is fairly intelligent so he can coast by, but Remus is the real brains of the outfit. He is an unregistered Animagus along with James and Peter and his form is a large black dog. When in dog form, Sirius can help to control wolfy Remus as he is still strong in that form, though the wolf will usually beat him if it comes down to it, having superior strength and weight.
Sirius has never really thought about his future, except he wants to move out as soon as he can from home, but he is one of those people who lives more in the present rather than planning for the future. Sirius is quite immature in that way, and is trying to learn from his friends, especially Remus, how to plan things out more logically.
Random facts: 1. Sirius uses a potion to make his hair darker, but this is a complete secret from everyone as he is afraid he would be called a sissy for it.
2. Sirius is not good with heights
3. Sirius has never been in a physical fight, he prefers to talk his way out of a situation arising or just send a curse their way. Having been raised as a wizard his whole life, his first instinct is to reach for his wand rather than throw a punch.
4. Sirius loves sweet food, especially cake and chocolate, and will often stash this away somewhere in the dorm, ostensibly to 'help' Moony after the full moon, but in reality so he can eat it whenever he fancies it.
5. Sirius' Patronus is, of course, a large, black dog, and his Boggart is an attractive girl telling him how he is ugly, stupid and now has a venereal disease that is incurable and they have to chop some bits off - somewhat embarrassing the first time that came up in lessons in Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Memories: 1. His first important memory is the first time he performed magic that worked, on his younger brother Regulus when he was ten. They had been arguing over something silly and he grabbed his dad's wand from the side table and threw a curse at him. This had happened before on many occasions with no success, but now Regulus was sporting warts all over his face. Sirius was punished of course, but that was one of his happiest memories was Regulus with a warty face as he knew that meant he would be going to Hogwarts and escaping his family.
2. He has many bad memories of his home life, especially his relationship with his father. He has suffered the Cruciatus curse from his father when he has misbehaved, and has never known pain like it. Since then, he has usually tried to avoid pain as much as possible.
3. One of his favourite memories is meeting Remus, James and Peter for the first time and realising how much of a love of pranks and mischief they share.
4. He will always remember the first girl he slept with; her name, face, body type, and most of the dirty details, even though his memory is normally terrible when it comes to things like that.
5. He will also remember every girl who has turned him down and the reasons for it: usually they are not flattering and he is naturally bitter about those girls.
Plot ideas: I'm open to most plot ideas from other people and really like to explore the flaws of any character I play (I like 'grey' characters rather than black or white). I try to respond to every character in the scene, and will occasionally write in an NPC eg a random Professor if needed to move things along.
*I would like to play the Prank through as never played it out before in full.
* Full moon night and exploring with the Marauders to create the Marauders Map, playing as Padfoot and exploring the canine side
*Any and all stupid or mean pranks, either that Sirius will play on someone else, or someone else will play on Sirius, I like to cause my characters pain (um .. not in that way) and am not precious about something going wrong or backfiring.
*Flirt interest: Sirius is unlikely to fall in love, but will have a good old flirt/kiss/whatever if you want to.
*Sirius and Marauders with stolen alcohol. Ah, underage drinking and drunk Sirius seems a recipe for disaster.

RP Sample: (OC Louisa in an alt reality/game scenario, starting post)
Louisa was on a quest. A quest to find music. Something she had sorely missed since she arrived, she had combed the house for a CD player. A few days ago she had noticed it in the living room but now it had disappeared. Granted, she wasn't even sure if there were any CDs, but she figured that some of the staff would probably have had some hidden away somewhere.
She'd arrived at Lucas' room last of all, she knocked and when there was no answer she walked into his room. The tall brooding boy she presumed to be Lucas was lounging on his bed, headphones plugged into a laptop and apparently asleep. She walked over and tapped him on the shoulder to try to wake the boy. 'Erm, Lucas? Have you seen the CD player?'
