IC Information
CHARACTER NAME: Harry Potter
AGE: 16
CANON: Harry Potter series
CANON POINT: Right at the beginning of chapter 26 of The Half Blood Prince, when Harry is supposed to have arrived at the sea cave with Dumbledore.
FAMILY TYPES: Dark Area- As much as he despises the Dark Arts, Darkness is something deeply entrenched in Harry’s soul, ever since he was 1. Harry himself has his moments of darkness, fully intending to kill someone on two different occasions, and using dark magic himself in one of those times.
Wind Guardians- Harry absolutely loves flying, in fact, he refers to it as “his element” at least once. He’s not one that likes to be confined to a place, even if he’s not exactly a “free spirit”. As a young child, he greatly desired to prove himself, a desire that still exists within him, even if it’s subsided.
Virus Busters- Despite his darker leanings, is at heart a good person, one that greatly desires to do the right thing. His faith in his friends is also unwavering. even if he may sometimes be harsh with them.
APPEARANCE: Harry is a fairly average teenage boy, rather on the scrawny and short side, with messy black hair and green eyes. His most distinguishable feature is the scar in the shape of a lightening bolt on his forehead, which he sometimes covers with his hair. When arriving, he will be wearing his school uniform.
PERSONALITY: In Hogwarts, students are sorted into different Houses on their first day. Gryffindor is the House of the brave and the bold, those that will grow up to achieve great feats of courage. Harry is no exception, as he’s certainly brave, even reckless at times, rushing into situations that may very well be beyond his ability simply because someone he cares about is in danger, or it’s the right thing to do.Harry has a noble spirit, that tries to save those in need, and always keep his friends out of danger unless he absolutely can’t avoid that they come with him (which admittedly, is most of the time). This can be traced back all the way to the first book, where Harry is only eleven, when he and his friend Ron saved Hermione from a mountain troll, and later on, he was willing to risk going up against a teacher and possibly the most powerful dark wizard in all of history. This trend continued in his second school year, when he set out to defeat a basilisk that had been attacking students and his third school year, when while time travelling, he kept trying to come up with ways to change the past to avoid several people being hurt, and possibly larger long term consequences. In all of these events, his friends Ron and Hermione were there for him, forcing their support on him until they absolutely had to let him continue on his own. His bravery was particularly evident in the fourth book, where he had to face the dark wizard Voldemort on his own, and he did so with his head held high, resisting Voldemort’s attempts at humiliating him to the end.
Building up from that, Harry also a strong sense of justice and right and wrong; he often expressed outrage at unfair treatment of others, and also stopped the murder of the man that betrayed his parents simply because he didn’t think they would want his father’s friends becoming murderers. While his empathy could arguably be considered rather selective (he has no qualms in keeping information from Hogwart’s nurse that could help heal a student he dislikes simply because it means more trouble for the Headmistress at the time, for instance), he still find in himself to feel some sympathy for Voldemort when getting a glimpse of his childhood.
He’s not a saint, though. He is, after all, a teenage boy, and is prone to the anger outbursts and bullheadedness that people his age can be prone to. For instance, in the previous book from his canon point, he lashed out terribly at his friends several times, mostly in reaction to external factors that weren’t necessarily their fault. Another such instance was when his friend Hermione pointed out he had a bit of a hero complex that made him want to “save everyone”, that could very well be taken advantage of, a piece of advice Harry absolutely rejected, as he was convinced he really did have to save someone at the time. This was during the fifth book, when Harry thought his godfather was in danger after getting a vision of him being being tortured.
Gryffindor, however, is not the only House Harry could have been in at Hogwarts. Slytherin, the House Harry absolutely did not want to be in due to its nasty history and members, also would have fit him well. In Slytherin, resourcefulness, determination, cleverness and even a certain disregard for the rules are the valued traits, all of which apply to Harry. Harry is rather quick on his feet, both literally and figuratively. He's been able to come up with quick plans and tricks to get him out of nasty situations, or at least buy time, even when his magic didn't serve him too well. Giving up is hardly in his vocabulary, he's much more likely to improvise or to simply reformulate the plan and try again. Even in less life and death situations, he is able to find some truly ingenious solutions for his problems, such as when he tricked Ron into thinking he'd drank a potion that made him lucky to calm him down before a game of Quidditch.
Of course, his determination could simply be a nicer way to say he's stubborn; if he gets something in his head, it is downright impossible to get it out of him, and he can fixate on it to obsessive levels, putting other, arguably more urgent, matters aside just so he can continue to pursue whatever he’s obsessing with. He’s not stupid, though, and is capable dropping at least the angle he’s pursuing, if not the whole plan, when presented with irrefutable arguments for why that is not the best course of action. A clear example of this is during the sixth book, during which, Harry develops an obsession with his rival Draco Malfoy, and the possibility that he's working for the Dark Side. Despite Hermione shooting down his arguments several times, he keeps coming up with new ways Malfoy could be operating.
Needless to say, Harry is someone that wears his heart on his sleeve. Even when he wants to keep how exactly he feels private, it's usually fairly easy to tell that something's bothering him, or that he's angry. His stronger emotions haven't always been his, though. He has a bond with Voldemort that has, several times, given him mood swings that are entirely beyond his control and unrelated to the current situation.
At the same time, though, Harry has relatively simple desires and ambitions; the thing he wants the most is to see his family around him again, despite the fact that he never met them. Growing up, the closest thing he had to a family were his uncle, aunt (mother's sister) and cousin, otherwise knows as the Dursleys, who did little more than abuse and neglect him; indeed the most affectionate thing they ever did for him was to take him in and keep him reasonably well fed and healthy. Harry carried an open resentment towards the Dursleys, and takes every chance he has to spend as little time there as possible. Every since he started attending Hogwarts, Harry has developed a relatively manipulative streak towards his adoptive family, using vague threats and promises of good behavior or future bad consequences to get what he wants, or really, just to mess with his cousin. This doesn't always work of course, as his threats to use magic falling through when the Dursleys found out he wasn't allowed to used magic out of school showed.
Still, he does fashion a family of sorts around him with his friends Ron and Hermione and Ron’s family, his mother in fact said that Harry is like a son to her. This lead to feelings of guilt when he found himself attracted to Ron’s sister, Ginny, as he feared Ron would consider it a betrayal to pursue her. It did not, though, stop him from being extremely jealous of any boyfriend she had, and being secretly happy whenever they had an argument. Going back to Ron and Hermione, as much as he loves them, when the two fight, he's not one to try to fix their problems. Twice they've fought and twice, has Harry hung out with both separately, doing little to reunite them other than asking each to talk to the other. Admittedly, in the first instance, he sided with Ron a little, as their row was over Hermione's cat apparently eating Ron's rat, while the second row was over romantic entanglements and the consequent jealousy and snipping, which Harry found to be an awkward topic to navigate.
Another familial connection he establishes can be found in Hagrid and Sirius. The former is Hogwart's gamekeeper and eventual Care for Magical Creatures teacher, who forms a somewhat fatherly bond with Harry during his early years at Hogwarts. Hagrid is the one that tells Harry the truth about himself, and introduced him to the wizardry world. Throughout the books, Hagrid remains as an emotional support source for Harry, and occasional advice, even if Harry and his friends sometimes find themselves exasperated at his warped sense of what is dangerous. Sirius, on the other hand, is his godfather, and technically, his rightful legal guardian. When they first meet, during Harry's third year, Harry shows his darker side towards the man, as he believes him to be the one that ultimately lead his parents to their death. However, when he learns that that's not the case, he becomes a ray of hope that he'll be able to live away from the Dursleys. When that falls through, though, Sirius remains as a fatherly figure to whom Harry can ask advice, and a bargaining chip against the Dursleys. When told that Sirius is a escape convict from the wizardry world for murder, Harry manages to get some better treatment out of the Dursleys and to getting permission to spend the rest of summer vacation with the Weasleys.
He also wants nothing more than to be an auror (a wizardry profession dedicated to the pursuit and destruction of the Dark Arts) after school is over, going back to his tendency to play the hero. Out of all possible career paths available for wizards, becoming an Auror is the only one Harry locks into from the moment when he's told he'd be good at it. Harry, for all his faults and darker moments, is a heroic person, that genuinely wishes to makes the world a better, safer place. The only person he still aims to kill is Voldemort, as a way to put a stop to his crimes only. Dumbledore described him as someone with a pure heart despite all the contact and temptation he's seen from the Dark Arts, having constantly rejected its influence.
Harry is the ultimate opposite to Voldemort due to his ability to love, to form attachments to others. For all their similarities, as orphans raised in grim, neglecting environments, that found a home in Hogwarts and the Wizardry world, Harry rejects Voldemort's ideals of the superiority of Wizards and of subjugation of Muggles.
HISTORY: His history is here.
SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON:
1.) What would you say is your greatest strength?
Well… I still think my biggest strength is flying. It's the one thing I'm really sure I'm great at, you know? As long as I'm on a broom, I'm usually sure I'll be ok. Not that I'm not good at other things, like Defense Against the Dark Arts but... There's a lost of luck involved in that.
2.) If you were given the option to stay in the Digital World or return to your home, which would you choose? Why?
I’m going back, definitely. The Digital World is great, don't get me wrong, but I really need to get back. My home is in Hogwarts, with Ron and Hermione. I can't leave them behind like that. I still have to deal with Voldemort, too.
... I wouldn't mind being able to return sometime, though.
3.) You have one choice. That choice will result in either the end of the world or it will save it. Which way would you go?
What kind of… Of course I’m saving the world!
... Blimey, that sounds weird when you say it out loud...
But anyway! My parents were killed by someone trying to destroy the world, remember? I'm never siding with the Darkness, even if it'd kill me.
THIRD PERSON: Harry had been through a lot at the tender age of sixteen, he thought. He’d been through two gauntlets of challenges involving magic far more powerful than he even knew existed, he’d been sucked into someone’s memories twice, peered into the mind of the most horrific killer in the world, lost all the bones in his right arm and regrown them in a night, and that was just scratching the surface.
And then... He found himself in a new, strange world, and had the status of "Chosen One" thrust upon him once again, and again he was expected to save the world. It was just so perfectly fitting that he was apparently a chosen one in two worlds, too. He remembered how Hagrid had mused on how everything seemed to happen to him back in his fourth year at Hogwarts. At the time, he had readily agreed with Hagrid, and now... Really, this took the cake, as far as things happening to him went.
It wasn't as if his situation didn't have its silver lining, or anything. The Digital World, as this place seemed to be called, was actually a great place once you got down to it. Strange, sure, but Harry was used to strange.
But still... He just wished he could have finished saving his own world before he was expected to save another one. Which, really, brought him to the biggest problem he'd faced so far, his lack of magic. He was completely powerless in this place, which had been a no small source of stress to him. He just... He really hated having to watch a creature he'd made friends with have to fight on its own, while he was supposed to just, what, stand in the sidelines? He'd been explained the purpose of the digivices, of course, but still, he felt more like some kind of battery. He even missed Apparating, of all things, if only so he could still at least know he was still a wizard.
