History

CHILDHOOD: From a very well-to-do and pureblooded house, Sirius wanted for very little as a child, but always held a strong sense of defiance and independence from his overbearing mother and father. He would often make trouble for the fun of it, push his limits, and bend or break rules. Sirius' younger brother Regulus was often a target for Sirius' mischievous pranks and bullying. Although they had their moments of brotherly love and mutual respect, Sirius grew more and more distant from his family as the world seemed to change around them and blood purity became something more and more important to them and less and less to Sirius.

HOGWARTS: At Hogwarts Sirius found his 'brothers.' James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew became a second family to Sirius. They helped one another, cared for one another, and fueled one another's mischievous sides. Being the first of his family to be sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin, Sirius' school years distanced him even more from his family. Fights would break out, or Sirius' short temper would erupt in a violent display and he'd run away for months at a time, often fleeing to live with the Potters.

At school, Sirius became quite popular. His tough and swarthy attitude granted him the 'bad boy' title in most cases, and his strong sense of adventure and devil may care attitude often landed him and his friends in detention. Sirius also came out of the closet during his Hogwarts years, in both a way of finally becoming himself and another public jab to his parent's pristine family reputation.

It was also during Hogwarts that Sirius and his friends discovered the secret their mate Remus Lupin had been hiding. That he was a werewolf. In order to make Remus feel more comfortable, and in their own way of accepting Remus, they decided to study hard and become animagi.

POST-HOGWARTS: After Hogwarts, Sirius was determined to enter the life of thrilling action and adventure of being an Auror. Unfortunately, his marks were not high enough, and he was dismissed from the trainee program. Lost and without a calling, Sirius lost a little more when his family, finally fed up with his antics and outspoken rebellion against their ideals, disowned him and cut him off from the Black family entirely.

Before he could be locked out the Black family vault at Gringotts forever, Sirius grabbed what money he could and ran off again. Thankfully James had purchased a posh flat in London and invited Sirius to live with him. So now living with James, Sirius is alone and without a proper job and even unsure as to what exactly his skills are. Doing what he can for the cause, Sirius has also joined the Order of the Pheonix, openly opting for Dumbledore's more dangerous and seedy missions, often sending Sirius into the dark underbelly of the wizarding world on infiltration missions to help bring down the Dark Lord.

JOURNAL ENTRY:
Where the hell are my shoes? I've looked everywhere and I can't bloody find them.

Found out that muggle schools have a class called "Home Economics." They teach you how to bloody cook! Never got that at Hogwarts. Am I supposed to just will this steak into a perfectly medium-well, or do I use a Incendio spell on it? Thanks a lot, Professors.

[Marauders]
New job from the powers that be. Guess I'm looking for some bloke that skulks around Knockturn Alley. Something about knowing where there is a cashe of dark wizards. Wish me luck! Though let's face it, boys, I won't be needing it.

RP SAMPLE:
It was absurdly early. Ungodly early. It was hard to imagine people were even awake at this hour. 8 am. Sirius didn't think he'd been up this early since Hogwarts, and it was painful. Light was too bright. Sounds were too loud. There was an annoying chill in the air. That also might have been because he was just wearing a pair of underwear and a single sock and nothing more. For whatever reason, he wasn't able to sleep.

In attempts not to wake James or Remus, Sirius tip-toed past their rooms and down to the kitchen of the posh flat James had picked out for them to live in. And thank Merlin for that! Living on his own was not Sirius' strongest suit. He needed people. Otherwise, who else would compliment him and tell him to do things? With a flick of his wand, he started brewing tea and toast dropped down into the toaster.

With perfect timing Sirius snatched the toast out of the air and put it in his mouth, taking his tea with one hand and his wand and morning paper in the other hand, he turned and stopped. There he stood with his mouth full of toast, in his underwear, hair a complete mess, with one of his flatmates standing in the door looking at him. After a pause Sirius shrugged, talking around his mouthfull of toast. "Take a picture, it'll last longer."
