dear maria count me in,
there's a story at the bottom

total appearance ,
Shane is a wild character. His hair is light brown and always, and I mean always, in his eyes. It's long and is always messy and in his face. He does comb his hair and wash it, he just lets it get ridiculously long. Shane is always moving it out of his face. His eyes are brownish hazel, almost a dark green. Shane isn't a fan of his eyes and doesn't think anyone else should be either. However, behind his eyes is a shadow. A shadow that is dark and sad. If anyone gets to know Shane, they can most definitely see that shadow pass.

Shane is of average height, about 5 foot 9 inches. He's not tall but he is pretty lanky. He eats and eats and eats, but doesn't gain any weight. Fast metabolism, that boy! He has a super smile that makes everyone around him smile, and when he's laughing, so is everyone else, so that smile is essential. Shane could care less about fashion. The boy is usually seen in jeans and a t-shirt, quite possibly an All American Reject t-shirt, or some other vintage thing he found in the local vintage store. Converse is what he's wearing on his feet and if not, then he's barefoot. He hates sandals and thinks if guys wear flip flops, they most certainly must be gay. He has a few tattoos around his arms and on his chest, along with multiple scars on his torso from run-ins with his father. Shane also has scars on his arms from the same thing and isn't afraid to show them off, however, he'll lie about where they came from.

Shane has a tendency to be wary about the things around him. As he's sitting in class, he may or may not be talking to someone, but his eyes are always looking and paying attention to his surroundings. If he was a ninja, he'd be a good one! Shane is always on the go and doesn't sit still for very long. He moves fast and is very impulsive, doing things that he usually regrets later. During class, Shane can't sit still. He's often raising his hand or fidgeting doing one thing or another. Although he's always moving and talking, he doesn't talk fast, he just won't shut up. He hates quiet moments and during those tests or whatnot, he finishes very, very quickly so he can leave and make as much noise as he wants.

Almost anything you want to know about Shane is in his eyes or facial expressions. He is very sullen when he isn't getting into trouble or making people laugh. When he is taking a test or faced with someone or something that isn't what he expected, he replies with a very expressionless face. Typically, Shane is very emotionless on the outside. Again, that is, when he isn't up to something. When he's speaking with a teacher, he's emotionless. HIs face and his eyes hold everything that Shane is. His walk isn't necessarily cocky, but Shane holds himself high. He has to. If he didn't think a lot of himself, no one else would.

full personality ,
Oh, Shane. Where to begin. Shane is very, very complex. He's a sweetheart, but he's a fighter and he has a lot of issues. So, let us begin. Shane was abused, so he's a good fighter. He gets very upset very quickly. First impressions are huge for him. If you meet him for the first time and you're an idiot, you are an idiot to Shane for a very long time. He rarely loses a fist fight, he has a lot of pent up anger. He doesn't go in throwing bar punches; he's got the real deal going on. A lot of small things make him angry. A lot of people say he's upset over nothing, and that might be the case, but he's angry nonetheless, so watch out.

Shane has reactive attachment disorder, meaning he makes relationships and has a very hard time letting them go. He keeps his friends close and will do virtually anything for them. He likes to be involved, so if he is not included in something, someone is going to get the heat from Shane. He has ADHD and can hardly focus on any one thing. He is always, always onthe move and is very, very impulsive. Shane loves music and is constantly singing or something that has to do with music. He has absolutely no respect for authority and no amount of punishment will change that. He'll respect those who respect him and whom he believes deserves his respect.

Shane doesn't drink or do drugs. He's a virgin and intends to stay that way. He believes the world is doing just fine without any more added Dorsal bastard children. He doesn't believe he would be a good father, anyway, and having sex adds to the possibility that he could get someone pregnant. He doesn't believe that love is real. Shane thinks that love exists, he just doesn't think that what most people call love, is truly the real thing. He respects girls very well, but has a hard time talking to them. Any mention of sex or anything associated with it makes Shane blush and will leave the place immediately.

Shane is pretty laid back, although very busy. He is overdramatic and tends to get upset over silly things. He has a tendency to use humour as a defense mechanism. When things get tense in a conversation, or if he gets nervous, he'll crack jokes or laugh, even if it isn't a time to be laughing. Shane is an amazing eater and will eat virtually anything. There are a couple of things he won't eat, including mushrooms and beets. He thinks mushrooms are a fungus, (which they are), which should be between your toes, and not to be digested. He doesn't need coffee or coffeine, as he is overactive and hyperactive to begin with. Shane is a sucker for anyone who will cook for him or tell him they care about him. The moment someone takes an interest in his well being, he clings to them, although very few people will notice until it's obvious. Shane doesn't need anyone, so he says. So if he has decided to attach himself to you, you won't know it for a while. [/ul]

other important figuresNick and Tina Dorsal -Cousins Dana Spradler- His brother and sister's mother,

complete history Shane was born and raised in Bronx, New York. He never knew he was a wizard and even today has a hard time believing it. The moment he was old enough for school, he realized his homelife was far from good, and definitely not normal. Too many times he was sent to kindergarten with black eyes and bruises all over. Sometimes there were more....serious injuries. HOwever, no one questioned him and no one ever found out. His father was an abusive drunk and loathed Shane and the day he was born. Shane couldn't do anything right in his father's eyes. A six year old boy looks up to his father, but Shane detested him, feared him, and hated him. Everything Shane did was wrong, and he found that out very quickly.

Shane's mother didn't hate him, just ignored him completely. To her he was a mistake. She was never around and her relationship with Shane's father was miniscule and meant nothing. They lived in the same house, but weren't together. She brought home man after man and was constantly passed out on the couch with her arm out, bleeding slighting from various injections she inflicted on herself. Shane longed for her to hold him or tuck him in. That never happened, and Shane found himself alone a lot.

As Shane got older, he got better at lying about the bruises and marks that his father inflicted on him. His stories got more and more believable and entertaining. People really started to believe his stories and he enjoyed making people laugh with his make believe stories about his wounds. Even his teachers started believing his lies, and eventually, lies were his language. It became how he spoke on a daily basis. No one knew he was lying and no one ever knew the truth. They just believed he was telling the truth, and if not, they believed him anyway.

He made friends easily, since he was so fun to be around. However, his closest friends refused to come to his house and had a hard time not being afraid of him. He sometimes made had a hard time not manifesting the things he learned from his father. When he got angry, he acted out as his father did, fighting and putting others down. That didn't gain him any points with anyone. With his closest friends, they just learned that he really wouldn't hurt them, unless they started a fight.

He started fighting in elementary school and was constantly sent home because of it. However, no one ever knew who to call; no one ever came. In time, people stopped calling his home and just made him sit in the office all day. The people in the office genuinely liked Shane! He was funny and full of life. He made everyone around him laugh. But there was always an underlying distance about him that no one could put their finger on. Things took a turn for the worst when he was 11.

Shane came home from school and dropped his backpack on the floor by the door. Then he walked to the kitchen and grabbed a soda from the refrigerator. Two wrong things right there, according to Shane's father. "Boy, you're disrespectful toward the things I buy you. And you didn't ask for that soda." Henry's voice was low and as he looked up and eyed Shane, he knew it was going to be bad. The hits were fast and hard, sending Shane to the floor into a heap. The kicks were swift, causing Shane to put his hands to his face for protection. When it was over, Shane waited for Henry to leave; he always left. Then he got up and went to his room. He didn't lock the door. Why should he, the deed was already done? He laid on his bed and rolled over, staring at the wall while his head and body pounded with pain. In moments, an owl rapped at his window. It made Shane jump and look over. An owl? Shane slowly opened the window and the fluffy owl dropped him the envelope that would change his life.

Hogwarts was great, although they demanded a lot from Shane. He was never used to having achievable expectations and been expected to meet them. He found the work difficult and although he enjoyed it, he had a hard time getting the work done, especially on time. Eventually everything was turned in, just....late, and with food smudges on them. The king of winks, plans, smiles, and pranks was just that. Shane was a Gryffindor, not because of his smarts or anything, as far as he was concerned it had something to do with his homelife and his father. He got into a fight with some boy named Malfoy on a nearly daily basis. Shane had no problem with Malfoy, honestly, until the boy opened his mouth about Shane's dad hitting him all the time. Shane still doesn't know how the boy found out. The whole school found out at some point and some people felt bad for him, while others just picked on him and his worthiness to be alive. That's when the pranks turned from fun to dangerous. No more jumping beans in the girls' beds or self squirting ink pens during class. It turned to cursed parchment and deadly pumpkin juice. Shane didn't think things would really hurt people, he just wanted to scare them. He liked making people laugh and smile! He didn't want to hurt anyone, but the other students who gave him the objects weren't the most trustworthy or safe students.

During his years at Hogwarts, Shane did indeed make some friends. One of his best friends was named Clint, whom he met during his first year there. He and Clint were in Care of Magical Creatures when Shane made the stupid decision to step over the line into the realm of a centaur. The centaur then turned on him, yelling at him about some such nonesense that confused Shane. Something about respecting the species and such. Shane stared at the centaur until he burst out laughing, which then lead him to be excused from class. Clint thought it was just great, and from then on Clint and Shane were inseparable. All their pranks were Shane's idea, however, Clint helped him execute them.

As Shane made friends, Shane also made enemies. He and the young Malfoy didn't get along, but neither did he and the Charms teacher. Shane is good at Charms, and each time the teacher taught them a new Charm, Shane mastered it in minutes. Once it was mastered, he used it on various students, objects, and teachers. Of course, Shane thought it was fun and humorous; the teachers didn't. So, the Charms teacher kicked him out of class every other day and Shane found himself in detention at least twice a week.

However, six years later Shane was expelled from Hogwarts. How was he supposed to know that certain beans shouldn't be mixed with certain....students? So he let a few beans slip into some Slytherins' pumpkin juices. How was Shane to know that the beans were lethal? Well, that and a few missed classes, a few arguments with teachers, and some missing student wands would cause him to get expelled. Well, once he was sent home his father beat the snot out of him and Shane locked himself in his room with the idea that maybe being drunk wasn't so bad. Then another owl showed up at his window, and thus began his adventures at Durmstrang. As far as Shane can tell, Durmstrang found out about his time at Hogwarts and graciously gave him a second chance. At least he wasn't going to be at home all year with his father and everyone who already knew his past. Shane was grateful for Durmstrang, but he won't be able to keep from planning plans, and pranking. His lack of respect for authority will no doubt get him into trouble, but he's hoping that at Durmstrang, he won't have to fight for his dignity.

[SKYLAR :D]

• You still need to do the name meaning part.
  
• I need a little more out of the appearance. Please at the very least one paragraph more in about the same size as your previous ones.
  
• Give me two more turn ons and one more off.
  
• Give me one more paragraph for personality.
  
• Give me a paragraph per year of schooling of things that happened. From everything between accomplishments, friends and problems.

DONE?
*I personally think that the emphasis shouldn't necessarily be weighed as heavily on the appearance, as much as the personality. My appearance for Shane is just as long as the personality, and I could have gone on and on with the personality, whereas the appearance is much more difficult. I do, however, like how this application form is much more in depth, but like I said, that many paragraphs for apperance is very difficult. I would rather know more about a character's personality so I know more about how my own character will interact with them. Yes, the appearance should be very in depth, but I think it would benefit the site if we knew more about the characters' personalities....just a thought, don't hate me..... <3

[SKYLAR :D]

That is your opinion, however what I expect from people who join the site is the ability to follow directions. The way the application is used is to bring you to a whole new understanding to your charrie inside and out. I expect very little from you as written in the application and it is not hard to develope your character further if you are willing to do so. I can not accept this application until you complete it in whole. I ask a lot from appearances because developing appearances is so simple its ridiculous to not be able to write a bunch on it. Personality is harder to develope without roleplaying there for i ask for only four paragraphs. This application is written in a way so that you may show your abilities...instead of arguing you need to be cooperating and showing me your skills.

In your application there is several things that need to be fixed.
-see above list for everything that needs to be improved upon.

Skylar

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

I did fix those things...before you replied. I'm confused.....what else do I need to fix?

[SKYLAR :D]

I must of been in the middle of the reply when you fixed it. Approved

[SKYLAR :D]

You just need to change the name to your charries full name btw
