Vital Statistics

Full Name: Sirius Black

Age: 26

In depth

Personality:
Life is short, and Sirius lives his life like he wants to get all he can out of it for as long as he has. So he has no qualms about going after the things he wants, he laughs hard and often, and loves spending time with his closest friends. Now some might label him an arrogant prat, but Sirius feels like he can't help knowing he is attractive and smart - both are natural gifts and he doesn't ever apologize for that.

Since being moved to Azkaban, Sirius has lost alot of that zest for life he had. He spent the first several months of his incarceration screaming himself hoarse trying to get anyone to listen to him. He learned soon that it was better just to stay quiet, to not draw attention to himself. He drew into himself, spent most of his time as a dog, and he slowly forgot the sound of laughter, and what it was like to smile.

Sirius is a hollow shell of the man he used to be now.

Special Abilities: Sirius is an unregistered Animagus, he takes the form of a large black dog. After his first few weeks in Azkaban he learned that the dementors weren't as difficult to deal with when he was in his dog form and so he's been spending rather a large amount of time as a dog for the last several years.
Strengths: Sirius is very charming when he wants to be - or he used to be - he was always very good at getting the things he wanted, and he wasn't afraid to use his good looks or any other skills at his disposal to do that. He's also very smart, if it wasn't for his very caviler attitude towards his education he might have been a good fit in Ravenclaw. But Sirius was most definitely a Gryffindor through and through - he is and was fiercely loyal to his friends and he will always put what he thinks is right above any rules that may exist. With the help of his friends Sirius knows there is no spell or charm he can't master, he takes particular pride in creating the Marauder's map and achieving the animagus transformation all while still in school.
Weaknesses: Sirius can most definitely be completely and utterly selfish in all things, especially when it is in regards to something he really wants - he will use every skill he has to achieve what he desires, without much thought for anyone else. He is also extremely arrogant, he is smart and he knows it and he's not afraid to tell anyone or flaunt that fact. He has a tendency to lean towards the flashy, whether that is in his play or in the women and men he sleeps with, and he's just as quick to move on to the next new thing the moment it shows up -which has managed to get him into trouble on more than one occasion.

Appearance

Gender: Male
Nationality: English

Height: 6'
Weight: 145 lbs
Build: He's tall and well built or at least he used to be, he's been slowly fading during the years he's been in Azkaban
Eyes: Light Blue/Grey
Hair: Black, he wears it a little long and shaggy and very messy

Distinguishing Marks: None really, apart from the filthy appearance he'll have when he returns, but once he's had a chance to clean up he'll look pretty normal

Physical Description:
Despite several years in Azkaban, Sirius is still an attractive man. One that obviously needs several good meals and a restful nights sleep, but attractive none the less. The years of Dementors have taken their toll on Sirius, and he's much less likely to smile, and he's far thinner than he has ever been in the past. His hair has gotten long and stringy, and he of course hasn't shaved since he was incarcerated. He'll clean up well though.

Before Azkaban, Sirius was very attractive, and he knew it. He had an easy smile, though a smirk was the expression found most often on his face. He tended to lean towards a decidedly muggle way of dressing - partially because of a film he'd seen with James Dean, he'd grown rather fond of his leather jacket, but mostly because he knew it would infuriate his parents. And once he'd been disowned he didn't see a reason to go back to the less comfortable robes most wizards wore.

History

To say it was a shock when Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor when he arrived at Hogwats would have been an understatement. He'd grown up knowing he would end up in Slytherin just like the rest of his family. He became fast friends with James Potter; Remus Lupin joined the two-some later and then later they took Peter Pettigrew under their wing to even out the size of the group.

It was through his friendship with these three that Sirius started to see that the strictly pureblood agenda his parents had pushed since birth was not something he actually supported, especially now seeing as he was best friends with a werewolf. And from his first year at Hogwarts he began pulling away from his family and clinging all the more closely to his friends. He put up pictures of muggle women and gryffindor pennants in his bedroom much to his parents displeasure.

The older he got the more he acted out openly going against his parents wishes and supporting equal rights for all witches and wizards no matter their blood status. When he turned sixteen things at home had gotten to the point that he finally cut ties with his family, and was disowned (blasted off the family tree). He moved in with James and his parents for his last few years at Hogwarts.

Sirius finished up his schooling and continued creating mischief and laughs with his friends, managing to become animagus during their 5th year, and creating the marauders map, thanks to their combined brilliance. For awhile during 5th and 6th year he believed himself in love with Jamie, and resented the budding relationship with Evans and did what he could to drive them apart. That didn't work, and eventually he realized he was afraid that Jamie would forget about him if Evans was in the picture, and that he wasn't really in love with James after all.

When they left school, Remus and Sirius moved into a flat together, thanks in part to the money left to him by his uncle Alphard when he died. He was also able to forgo obtaining a real job to join the Order of the Phoenix just a few months after they'd finished at Hogwarts. Sirius thought it was absolutely brilliant being a part of a secret organizations, and fighting against the very thing that his family wished for so dearly.

Things in his life were brilliant, until they learned of the prophecy surrounding Evans and James. He suggested Peter for their secret keeper at the last minute, blinded by his own arrogance - and Peter betrayed them and Lily and James were killed. Sirius spent the next several days hunting down Peter intent on repaying him for killing his friends, only to have Peter frame him.

Sirius was arrested that same day and with Dumbledore's testament that he had been the chosen secret keeper Sirius was sentenced to Azkaban, where he has been for the last 5 years.
