You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

CREW MCPHEE
12 SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 STUDENT HOGWARTS|SLYTHERIN| 1ST YEAR PUREBLOOD COLONSAY, SCOTLAND | PERSONALITY: Arrogant, Curious, Excited, Obsessive, Nervous, Superstitious, Trusting. Crew might be a little resentful that he wasn’t able to start school until he was 12 just because he was born on September 26. Charlotte was 11 when she went to Hogwarts. [This will change if necessary]. He has the arrogance of most purebloods, but as he has never been among so many people who weren’t members of his vast family before, he's definitely excited to meet people and make friends. Until he found out that his father was going to be at Hogwarts for the tournament. He has several superstitions. He will not pick up any coins he finds on their tails side because it’s bad luck. He has lost a lot of money believing that. He keeps a date planner and believes that if the bookmark isn’t on the current week, he’ll have a bad day. He has a nervous tick. There are times when he gets nervous that his head turns quite involuntarily to the left. He does wear a silver chain that has a Seraphinite stone on it. If you look closely enough, you might see a sailboat in choppy seas. It’s one of Crew’s most valued belongings, other than Salazar the Owl. ASPIRATION: Crew just wants to make his family happy with his first year at Hogwarts. And of course, wants to make a lot of friends. What does the future hold for your character? What is something they would love to do, or have happen? Please describe them here. | LIKES: -His family, on the whole -Flying on his broom -Charms, and Transfiguration -History of Magic -His wand -His barn owl, Salazar. He never had his own pet before, DISLIKES: -Creatures -Muggleborn and halfblood students -Astronomy and Herbology -Potions classwork and exams -Being bullied by bigger kids - |
FAMILY MEMBERS. | Father: Charles McPhee, Durmstrang Dark Arts professor Mother: Allie McPhee, 35 Sister: Charlotte McPhee, 14 Uncle: Cooper McPhee, 25, in charge of the Auror Training Program at the Ministry Cousins: Cole McPhee, 18, Teacher Assistant, Catalina McPhee, 14, student; and Cullen McIntyre, 17, student, and many more. |
CHILDHOOD. | Crew was often told that muggles were beneath him and he shouldn’t deal with them. His family went to quidditch matches and enjoyed them. Crew didn’t quite understand the rules, so he didn’t like them as much as his family did. He liked going to the matches only to hang out with his cousins. But they were usually so caught up in the matches that they refused to talk to him during them. When Crew was growing up, he disliked his elder sister, Charlotte. But when she went away to Hogwarts soon after she turned 11, he missed her so much. And she always told him wondrous stories about Hogwarts. They were corroborated by his cousins who also attended the school. He couldn’t wait to attend the school. When he became 11, he was so upset that he never received his letter from the school. He got very angry when he was told he couldn’t go until he was twelve. Just because he was born on September 26. Stupid bureaucratic red tape. He played all kinds of games with his cousins and other pureblood children who also weren’t old enough to attend Hogwarts. He was so attentive when his family taught him about magic and couldn’t wait to be able to learn it in practical terms where he was able to use it. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | Because Crew and Charlotte, were home schooled by his pureblood purist parents, he hates muggleborn students and creatures. They’re not worthy of being at Hogwarts and certainly shouldn’t be talked to by purebloods. He ignores any muggleborn or halfblood who tries to talk to him. He wished they wore badges that said they weren’t pureblood so he wouldn’t embarrass himself talking to them He keeps a list of who is muggleborn, halfblood and pureblood, so he knows who he can and cannot communicate with.. He will have a very hard time if he has a muggleborn or a halfblood professor. Hogwarts always sounded like an amazing place from the stories Charlotte told him about it. He loves flying about on his broom. He loves the magic classes and he finds History of Magic fascinating. He has a lot of trouble in potions. He can stir brownie batter and cookie batter, but to stir a potion clockwise a number of times and then counterclockwise another number and then clockwise again just mixes him up. He usually takes forty or fifty times to get his potions homework done. He also hates the idea of using ingredients like unicorn horn. He loves unicorns! He usually fails his potions classwork and expects to fail his potions exams because he doesn’t have the time he needs to finally get the potion right. He has complained to the professor about this to deaf ears. Crew is bored of staring at the stars in Astronomy and he doesn’t have a green thumb for Herbology, so he be often found fast asleep in those classes. As he despises muggles, he doesn’t plan on taking Muggle Studies unless he’s forced to. He sends his owl, Salazar – named after Salazar Slytherin – home twice a week with news on how he is coping at school, naturally omitting the fact he isn’t doing well in certain classes. He has some friends among the purebloods and enemies among the muggleborn and the halfbloods. He goes to the Slytherin quidditch matches, but he never really enjoyed quidditch matches as much as the the rest of his family did. He spends a lot of time in the library doing his homework and looking at books about magic. |
ADULDHOOD. | Crew just turned 12 years old. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Warning: The following RP is from an RP site dedicated to the TV show The Society of the same name. It mentions things in the TV show that might be spoilers if you have not seen it.
Hudson felt himself seething throughout the trial as he wrote down the events that were happening. He tried to get as much of the exact statements as he could, knowing they were very important. They were current events and current events was history. He noticed something strange. He didn’t see anyone else trying to record the trial, like you had in real – like you had in old trials in the United States of America. As he walked home, he was working on the editorial in his head. It had to be rhetorical. And on the way, after making the same statement over and over again, he came upon the perfect question to juxtapose it with. He was proud of himself for coming up with such a superb question that he felt should resonate with the readers. He couldn’t wait to get home to see what the words in his head would look like on paper. He decided not to give the editorial he was going to write a title because it would be obvious. He wrote the following:
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the leader of our new society the judge of the trial?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the victim’s sister the judge of the trial?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the defense attorney chosen an hour before the trial on the spur of the moment?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why didn’t the defense and the prosecuting attorneys ask the judge to recuse herself because she is the victim’s sister?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why didn’t the defense attorney ask for a continuance so she could better prepare for the trial?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Where was the court stenographer at the trial?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why didn’t the defense or the prosecuting attorneys ask if any members of the jury knew the accused?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the prosecutor a witness in the trial?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.<br>
“Why was the coroner the prosecutor? <br>
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.<br>
“Why wasn’t there any closing arguments? <br>
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.<br>
“Why didn’t the defense attorney tell the judge she planned to appeal the verdict?”<br>
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.<br>
“Was there a way to appeal the verdict? <br>
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.<br>
“Why weren’t there any arguments for or against the death penalty?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why wasn’t there an impact statement from the victim’s sister?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why weren’t there any witnesses to speak on behalf of the convicted man?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why did the judge decide to sentence the convicted man immediately after the verdict?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why did the judge decide the sentence of the convicted man?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why didn’t the jury decide the sentence of the convicted man?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the execution carried out so quickly?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why was the victim’s sister an executioner?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Why has the death penalty come to New Ham after being abolished in the state of Delaware for over three years?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“What happened to the State of Delaware laws?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“What happened to the Second Amendment right to bear arms?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“What happened to the Fourth Amendment right against ‘unreasonable searches and seizures?’
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“What happened to the American Bill Of Rights?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“What happened to the Constitution of the United States of America?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“Is the United States of America still in us?
“What has happened to the democratic country we once lived in only a month ago? Do we still believe in the ideal of a democratic country? Why have we allowed Allie to destroy the Constitution of the United States of America? Why have we allowed Allie to remake jurisprudence as we knew it?
“We’re no longer in the United States of America.
“And it’s our fault. Are we going to do anything about it? What are we going to do about it?”
As he finished writing the editorial, Hudson wondered if it was too repetitive. He decided it needed to be to drive his point home. He realized he had to be careful. So far, within this new society, he was able to publish his paper without any trouble. With this new editorial, he could easily find himself jailed, at the very least. The new society hadn’t out and out killed someone who turned against them. No one had. Yet. The editorial Hudson wanted to publish could possibly get himself killed. Vladimir Putin supposedly killed reporters right outside Moscow. What about Xi Jinping, the president of China? What about Kim Jong-Un, the leader of North Korea? Un supposedly killed his cousin or uncle or something. Was he his half brother? How long before newspapers or newsletters were banned from this new society? As Fake news or whatnot. How long before his life was in danger? He wondered.
Hudson undressed and went into his bed wearing only his shorts. Would he be able to get any sleep with all these thoughts running around in his head? He wondered. As soon as his head touched his pillow, he closed his eyes. He found a comfortable, relaxing spot in bed and minutes later, he was sound asleep.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
