{ NEWT SCAMANDER
THE BASICS!

FULL NAME: Newton Artemis Fido Scamander
NICKNAMES: Newt
AGE / DOB: 29 | 24 February, 1897
OCCUPATION: Magizoologist
ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good

BLOCK / ROOM: [to be filled out upon acceptance]

PERSONALITY!

PRIMARY MOTIVATION: To learn as much as possible about every magical creature and to protect them until such a time as the wizarding world stops trying to kill them
DEEPEST FEAR / INSECURITY: Despite not really being much of a worrier, Newt doesn't trust people so much. Especially not with his creatures. He's most afraid that something he does will cause the animals to be harmed or that someone will get their hands on one of them and cause them harm in any way. The surest way to draw the largest emotional reaction out of Newt is to threaten his creatures.
MBTI: INFP
LIKES: Magical creatures (learning about magical creatures, helping magical creatures, protecting magical creatures, teaching others about magical creatures...you get the idea), helping others, writing
DISLIKES: Magical creatures being mistreated, the idea of muggles and wizards not even being able to interact together, people being mistreated or taken advantage of
FAVORITE TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: Magical creatures

Newt is not exactly always one hundred percent with people. At least not in the way that he is one hundred percent with magical creatures. He's developed such an understanding and kinship with them that it makes dealing with humans a bit of an unusual thing for him. Mostly in that people find him annoying more than he finds them annoying. Magical creatures are easy. He knows what to do and what not to do from years of experience with them and he is more than well-versed in communicating with them. They are, without a doubt, the most splendid things he's ever come in contact with. Each and every one of them are as amazing as the others. Perhaps there are differences in reasoning with each one, but it doesn't change the simple fact that they are entirely brilliant to him.

Humans are a bit more difficult to judge. They will do and say almost anything and he is not as good at reading them. He has a less than positive outlook on humans, finding them to be far more dangerous than the creatures he's worked with. Even the dragons. Dragons at least have being dragons to excuse their behaviour. Humans are...well...humans. They are meant to be better and yet they will still kill anything they consider to be dangerous...even if there is nothing real to suggest that they are a danger to them, even if there is a better way to handle a situation. It does make human interaction a bit more difficult when he's trying to decide what level of danger a human might be to his creatures.

This doesn't exactly mean that he hates humans. He just has a lot of difficult trusting them. However, when he makes friends with someone, he is loyal to them and he will do whatever he can to help them. Especially since he finds it so difficult to truly bond with other people. He is generous with his friends, even going so far as to make sure that Jacob's dreams came true for him. He wanted him to succeed in something that he very obviously loved to do. Even if Jacob didn't remember him, he wanted to make sure that he got that, that he no longer needed to work at the canning factory. If he likes someone, there isn't much he wouldn't do to help make things come true for them.

He doesn't quite like to be forced into situations where he feels somewhat trapped. Especially when his creatures are in danger. If he needs to find them, he will do so...even if he's told to stay put somewhere. He just...doesn't like it. He would much rather avoid these encounters than be a part of them. Unfortunately, this does not always work out for him due to the fact that he can be guilted. At least for a little while. Of course, when given the chance for an escape, he probably will take said escape.

Rules, as far as Newt is concerned, are a bit bendy. It's why he does not really lean toward the lawful side of things. Truthfully, he does not always observe the rules of others. Not even (technically speaking) the rules of countries. Woops. Some rules are just meant to be bent.

Despite this tendency to bend (and at times break) the rules, however, there are things that Newt would never consider. He could never and would never consider doing something that would cause others very real harm. Not intentionally and certainly not "for the greater good". No, he would rather see himself harmed than see others harmed. He could never do anything to cause harm to his animals either. There are just some lines that he would never cross. Not for anything. He may use a body bind to protect a creature from a human, but he could never kill to protect them. There is only so far you can push him and so much he would allow himself to do.

HISTORY!

LINK: Wiki
PROUDEST MOMENT or WORST MOMENT: His proudest moment is successfully using the venom of the Swooping Evil with the tears of the Thunderbird. I mean, it's also sort of like how he defeated Gellert Grindelwald, but also he's not trying to boast about it too much right now. He'll wait until later for that. He's more excited about the Thunderbird thing.

SORTING!

WHAT POKEMON WOULD YOUR CHARACTER BE?: Charmander. I don't have a well thought out reason for this. All I have is this. I think it makes my case.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER REACT TO ARRIVING: For the most part Newt is going to be trying to find his wand and his suitcase. He will likely attempt to escape because what's magic if you can't use it to try to escape...even if you don't technically know where your wand is?
WHAT THREE ITEMS FROM HOME WOULD YOUR CHARACTER LIKE?: His wand, his suitcase (with all the magical creatures inside it and everything else obviously. GOSH), and a change of clothes
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE CHOICES FOR YOUR CHARACTER'S SQUAD? Liiiike...idk where he'd fit in, but I guess 11, 12, or 13? But really, put him wherever he fits best.

OTHER POWERS: Taken from the wiki:
Newt's primary skill was his deep connection to multiple magical creatures and ability to track them down and tame them effectively. He was also a well versed writer and a tireless worker, making dozens of notes on every creature he finds. Newt also dealt with hazardous situations well, having faced some of the most dangerous beasts in the world as well as Dark Wizards.
Care of Magical Creatures: Newt was interested in Magizoology from a young age and throughout the years, he gained knowledge of a wide variety of creatures from all over the world. He was awarded a famous Wizard Card and an Order of Merlin for services to Magizoology.
Communicating with animals: Newt was shown to have a particular way with animals in a manner most Wizards don't. He possesses an innate ability to communicate and bond with beasts of all shapes, such as Thunderbirds and Bowtruckles — treating the latter much like a parent would a child. He is also capable of using beasts such as the Swooping Evil to aid him in combat, and can control it to a degree, despite it being a relatively dangerous beast.
Charms: Newt displays potent skill in Charms, able to Summon an egg from across a room with a man still holding onto it, and repair the entire upper half of Jacob Kowalski's apartment in mere seconds. Newt also used the Revelio Charm to bypass Grindelwald's Human Transfiguration and unmask him to MACUSA. He also performed an expansive Undetectable Extension Charm on the interior of his suitcase creating enough space to hold many magical creatures in replicas of their native habitats. He also displayed a command of Atmospheric Charms, creating weather conditions such as hot deserts and frozen snowscapes.
Apparition: Newt was able to successfully Apparate in many different situations, allowing him to avoid attacks from an Obscurus as well as Gellert Grindelwald.
Duelling: Beguiling his peaceful disposition, Newt is a very capable duelist, adept at hexes, using the Full Body-Bind Curse on No-Maj Gilbert Bingley upon nearly being arrested. Later he was, with some good help from his Swooping Evil, able to evade capture by multiple trained MACUSA Aurors. Newt was even able to briefly hold his own against and survive a confrontation with Gellert Grindelwald, arguably the most powerful dark wizard of the time (only Voldemort would surpass him, but he wasn't born until December 31, 1926), proving his skills in martial magic.
Potions: In his books, he wrote down hints how parts of magical creatures could be used in potions. He also experimented with novel potions such as uses for Swooping Evil venom.
History of Magic: Newt also had knowledge of magical history, especially Magizoology. A whole chapter of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was devoted to the definitions of beasts, beings, and spirits and how the definitions have evolved in past centuries.
Muggle Studies: Newt had studied how Muggles reacted to magical creatures and how beasts included in muggle fairy tales, like fairies, differed from real ones. He also knew about Muggles' awareness of Diricawl and that they believed that they hunted it to extinction. A whole chapter in his book was about Muggle awareness of beasts. He also claims to Jacob that the bodies of Muggles react differently to magic and gives him some armour when dealing with a Erumpent for protection.
Nonverbal magic: Newt was able to summon an Occamy egg held in Jacob Kowalski's hand without saying the incantation, ending up sending Jacob flying towards him at great speed. He also did not speak an incantation when turning a window opening into a jelly-like substance to trap his Niffler.

WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PLAYING THIS CHARACTER: Newt is such a small, precious human being and I am curious to see how he will interact with people considering times are all over the place and things are just generally different for him. Like...what will he do? Also people that have superpowers as opposed to magic will be infinitely curious to him and he will probably ask a million questions and annoy so many people, but he's just really curious about this, okay? Also he definitely needs to educate the masses on magical creatures.
