Likes: pulling pranks, brooding, muggles, his best friends, making girls fawn over his bad boy attitude
Dislikes: his siblings, his cousins (except Andromeda), doing his homework, Slytherins, pure-blood enthusiasts
Strengths: intelligent (though he squanders it), brave, takes care of his friends, stands up for what he believes in, is not afraid to go against the norm (ie. with his family's pure blood elitism)
Weaknesses: can be overly rebellious, too lazy to do well in school, can be a jerk, can take pranking too far, arrogance
Amortentia: Mrs. Potter's home cooking, freshly cut grass, pumpkin pie, wildflowers
Dementor: His worst memory would be the time Sirius told Snape that there was a secret entrance to the Shrieking Shack through the Whomping Willow, while Remus was transforming on the other side. James had to go save him it was incredibly dangerous and Sirius had always felt bad for pulling such an extreme prank.
Boggart: Well, his biggest fear was that he would be sorted into Slytherin with the rest of his family and extended family.
Veritaserum: Sirius' biggest secret is probably that he actually really enjoys his lessons, but he pretends as though he couldn't care for them.
Personality:

Although he later considered himself "an idiot" during this time, Sirius, along with James, was immensely popular: teachers respected his intelligence, though not his behaviour, and girls adored his dark handsome looks, but his especially rebellious attitude made him ignore them, therefore making the girls fawn over his bad boy attitude. Many teachers regarded him and James as troublemakers or practical jokers.

Sirius' popularity was not universal, however. Early on, a mutual hatred sprang up between James Potter and Severus Snape. Sirius actively supported James, leading to Snape bestowing an equal and life-long grudge upon Sirius, which resulted on Snape's happiness after Sirius's death. Sirius later claimed Snape was "this little oddball who was up to his eyes in the Dark Arts" from Snape's first moments at Hogwarts, though there is no evidence of this during their first meeting. Sirius and James often went out of their way to bully Snape.

Sirius is rebellious with all things in life. Stemming from his hatred of his family's insistence on only socializing with Pureblood wizards and witches, Sirius would constantly rebel against them. So now as he is a few years older and no longer living with the Blacks, he has a tendency to be rebellious towards all things which make him unhappy. Hence, he doesn't have very good scores in his subjects, although he has the ability to get good grades certainly.

Hair color: dark brown, a mess
Eye color: dark brown
Facial structure: Sirius has very strong defined facial features, though there is nothing particularly prominent about them. He has rather bushy eyebrows and his jaw is usually covered in stubble, just because he's too lazy to shave.
Body structure: Sirius is particularly tall, but he is not very muscular, nor very lanky, rather, somewhere in the middle. His weight is also average, because he doesn't work out, but doesn't always stuff his face with sweets either. He has a naturally leaner frame due to a good metabolism and getting exercise from running around the castle causing havoc with the other marauders.
Clothing Choice: Sirius' fashion sense is extraordinarily plain for he takes no particular interest in it. He can usually be seen in trainers, jeans and a pullover. He doesn't really care about keeping up his physical appearance much, particularly when it comes to fashion for that matter

Mother: Walburga Black
Father: Orion Black
Siblings: Regulus Black & Pyxis Black
Other: Cousins: Bellatrix Black, Andromeda Black, and Narcissa Black
History:
Sirius was the last remaining heir (resident) of the House of Black, a once-notable pure-blood wizarding family. His parents, Orion and Walburga, were both Blacks by birth and second cousins. Sirius had a younger brother, Regulus, who died after turning against Lord Voldemort in 1979 by attempting to destroy his Horcruxes. He was killed by the Inferi guarding one of his Horcruxes (although Sirius did not know this). Sirius didn't share a close relationship with his brother, calling him "a better son" than himself.

The Black family believed strongly in pure-blood elitism. They refused to consort with Muggles or Muggle-borns, Squibs and blood traitors and even disowned Squib family members, such as Sirius' great-uncle Marius Black, and insisted that their members only marry within respectable pure-blood classes, because of these beliefs they were forced to marry their own cousins. They also held the Dark Arts in reverence. Sirius rejected these values, leading to conflict with his family. He even put permanent-sticking charms on Gryffindor banners, as well as pictures of Muggle girls in bikinis,and motorcycles, and Muggle stuff on the walls of his room to emphasise his differences from the family and annoy his parents.

Sirius had an unhappy childhood; by adolescence he had come to hate most of his relatives, in particular his mother and his cousin Bellatrix Black (later Lestrange). Whereas all other members of the Black family were sorted into Slytherin, Sirius was placed in Gryffindor, showing that his views had already diverged from those of the rest of the family before he came to school. Sirius also took great care in hanging Gryffindor banners all over his room at Number 12 Grimmauld Place to show his difference from the rest of the family.

By contrast, he greatly enjoyed life at Hogwarts, where he was inseparable from his best friends James Potter, Remus John Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Remus, they later discovered, was a werewolf. To support him, Sirius, James and Peter secretly — and illegally — became Animagi, which allowed them to safely accompany Remus during his transformations and keep him under control. Sirius' form took the shape of a huge black dog (not unlike the Grim), from which his nickname "Padfoot" was derived.

At age sixteen, Sirius finally broke away from his family and took refuge with James Potter and his parents. The Potters genorously adopted Sirius as a son. His outraged mother blasted his name off the family tree, as was tradition for those who did not support the family's supremacist ideology. Sirius’ uncle Alphard, Walburga's brother, sympathised with his young nephew and left him a large inheritance, most likely causing Walburga to blast Alphard's name off as well. Sirius was left financially independent by his uncle’s generous bequest.

as draco in a post-rpg

draco stared at the gorgeous raven haired femme that was his wife. she rested her head on his shoulder. all was well, right? she had bought it hadn't she? draco felt so guilty having her beleive him so quickly, but he wasn't guilty enough to come clean about anything he had ever done that he hadn't told her about. something told him that deep down astoria knew the truth. he just had this paranoid feeling that she did, but he knew she wouldn't likely leave him unless she caught him red handed. afterall, having the last name malfoy had a lot of perks. big house, lots of money a strapping young lad for a husband and more security than you could ever imagine. that's what draco was; security for astoria. and although it seemed that way, the important things that truly mattered like love and respect were nonexistant. draco was a liar, a cheater, and a complete mess if you thought about it. he couldn't even remain loyal to his wife and they had only been married for two months now.

draco looked in to astoria's great big eyes beaming up at him while he formulated an answer. anything good? hm... not until now that i've come home to my beautiful wife, he replied with a smirk. draco leaned forward and gently placed a kiss on her lips. he was lieing like no tomorrow now. simply feeding her anything and everything she wanted to hear just so she wouldn't ask too many questions. everything worked like strategy for draco. it was almost as if life were one big game of wizard's chess and he always had to have the advantage or the upper hand. every action he took was guided toward giving him the benefit. it was selfish of him yes, but he was a malfoy after all. they didn't exactly come any differently. since birth luscious and narcissa had molded their son to become nothing less of the alpha male, and draco had spent the rest of his life trying to acheive that.

watching her rub her eyes, draco could imagine that astoria probably lost sleep over his antics. if he were only home sleeping safely beside her, she probably wouldn't have been so insomniatic. but thanks to his galavanting, astoria's situation was quite the contrary. draco constantly needed a scapegoat. something to satisfy all the guilt that filled him up on a daily basis. he needed to satisfy astoria to do that. he need to know he had done something to make up for all the time he wasn't there for her. he leaned forward again, kissing her more passionately and raising a hand to rest on the side of her neck. his force pushed her over slightly so that he was hovering over her. he parted his lips from hers once more. i'm sorry i wasn't around last night, draco finally said, but i love you. he looked down at her, his eyes reflecting honesty though he felt a little differently. it was hard to tell with draco sometimes.

'i love you' was probably the one thing a woman wanted to hear more than anything else, and draco was keen on convincing astoria of just that. that he loved her, and that there was no one else in the world for him. he was known to be unfaithful, but somehow astoria managed to ignore her gut instinct and beleive everything draco told her. it was unfortunate on her part, but what could be done about it? moments like these were the ones that draco savored between them. there was no fighting, no arguing, and he did actually find himself compelled to please her. maybe we could spend the day together today ? draco suggested. we could get dinner, maybe go out somewhere ? he added. of course, without realizing it, draco had caught himself in his own lie. he said earlier that the store had been broken in to and obviously this meant that his work hours would probably only increase. now all of a sudden he had the liberty of spending an entire day with astoria?

draco realized that he caught himself up in a lie, but he showed no expression of that on his face. meanwhile, in his mind he panicked a little. unsure of whether or not astoria had noticed it too. usually this never happened. he usually carefully thought things through, planned them out and made sure whatever was coming out of his mouth made sense. but this one crept up on him like he wouldn't beleive. he smiled down at astoria pretending everything was fine and dandy as usual. he kissed her neck, his hand sliding down the side of her bodice. he had to distract her now before she figured things out or he would have some serious explaining to do. he dreaded another fight, but if he played his cards right it may have been avoidable.

I have some concerns with your app.

1) Your history and personality are copied and pasted from the Harry Potter Wiki. We ask that members write their own personalities and histories, so we can see their take on the character, and, when it comes to the histories, how they reacted to events, not just what happened. Also, your history says that Regulus died, which hasn't happened yet on this forum.

2) Your RP sample; we are a literate site, and so ask that members use correct grammar, which includes capital letters and quotation marks for speech.

If you revise your application we will be happy to look at it again
