What is your character like?
Coming from a background of wealth and privilege, Cormac has always set himself above the rest. His Uncle Tiberius held a high position within the Ministry of Magic for several years (though is now happily retired!) gaining the McLaggen family connections to the most prominent witches and wizards in England. Cormac was able to experience things unimaginable to his peers. He enjoys boasting about such experiences, but in a casual and faux-humble way. He did this much more frequently when he was younger, but old habits die hard.
Once you get past his general arrogance, Cormac is the joker of the bunch. He is crude when discussing women with his mates. He is foolish and accepts stupid dares. For example, he missed Quidditch try-outs in his 6th year because he was in the hospital wing from eating Doxy eggs. He does a lot of stupid shit but is usually just looking to have a laugh and enjoy his life.
What are your character's interests?
Quidditch, ladies, traveling, hunting, hiking, swimming, being athletic in general, working out, maintaining his good physique, nights out at the pub, friendly competitions
What are your character's pet peeves?
Fat chicks, interrupted blowjobs, alcohol that isn’t aged long enough, broom models that fly too slowly, ugly people, his own physical limitations due to his injury
Strengths:
Literal physical strength, good looks, courage, determination, sense of humor, easy going nature and ability to adapt
Weaknesses:
Stubbornness, makes stupid decisions and accepting foolish dares even if it puts him in danger or compromises his health, arrogant, entitled, doesn’t have a lot of respect for women, extremely vain, bad temper
Quirks and Habits:
Cormac pays special attention to how he dresses. Looking good is a high priority. He’s always trying to get laid and uses ridiculous pick up lines in his quest for pussy.
Please tell us how your character found themselves settling in Hogsmeade:
Cormac was born into an upper middle class family -- his father and uncle (good ‘ol Uncle Tiberius) worked at the ministry while his mother stayed home to raise him and his older brother. Their family was more than well off and they lived a comfortable life. His family went on frequent holidays, attended high profile events due to his father and uncle’s connections within the Ministry and spend endless hours playing Quidditch.
Cormac’s brother Reggie went to Hogwarts first and Cormac followed a few years later. The first few years he spent more time goofing off and trying to make friends than focusing on his studies. Parental pressure hit him hard in his fifth year to do well on his O.W.L.s and uphold the McLaggen name. He didn’t do as well as his parents would have liked, but he mostly got the grades needed to continue to N.E.W.T. level classes. With his mother and father keeping a close eye, Cormac gave much more effort to his schooling while still finding time to be Gryffindor’s resident goof ball/douche bag.
After Hogwarts, Cormac was set to go on his grand tour, but with Voldemort’s rise to power his plans were cut off. He hadn’t been a part of Dumbledore’s Army while at school nor did he join the Order of the Phoenix once he’d left school, but he still was allied to their cause. It was difficult for him to assist in the cause, however, because his father couldn’t leave his job at a Voldemort-controlled Ministry of Magic. Fearing that his actions could put his family in danger, Cormac focused his efforts on smaller scale things such as protecting muggles when possible and listening to Potterwatch for advice in how he could help.
He wasn’t proud of his actions during the war, but his family had made it out alive. Once the situation was safer, Cormac began training to become a Hit Wizard. Since he couldn’t help more during the war, he was going to do all he could to hasten the clean up.
Up until two years ago, Cormac’s path was clear. Work at the ministry, get rid of dark wizards and that was that. All was going according to plan until he took a nasty curse to the leg. Although healers were able to contain the majority of the curses’ affects, the nerve damage in certain areas was too severe for him to safely re-enter the DMLE as an active Hit Wizard.
Cormac is not the oldest child nor will he have to deal with overall inheritance of the McLaggen fortune, but his parents have set aside a large sum of money for him. He inherited access to this trust fund at the age of 25. Without his job at the Ministry, Cormac’s morale decreased significantly. He wasn’t sure what to do or how he could contribute with a bum leg, so he did what any recently wealthy 25 year old did. He wasted large sums of money traveling and drinking.
For about a year, he threw money around like it was nothing. At the rate he was going, his money would be gone within a few more years. Once again Cormac’s parents saw their son on a reckless path and intervened before he strayed too far off course. They froze his accounts and summoned him back to England, vowing he would never see a knut of his inheritance unless he got his act together.
In order to learn responsibility, Cormac moved to Hogsmeade and took a job at the village’s Quidditch supply store, learning what it was like again to put in an honest day's work.
What would your character like to do in the village? Where do you see your character going?
Cormac has been in the village for several months now, working and playing Quidditch where he can. He will continue to prove to his parents that he can be responsible in order to regain their trust and gain back his inheritance.
