Name: Harry James Potter
Age: 15
Location: Europe, Outer Ring
Current Occupation: Officially none

AU History:
His parents died when he was just over a year old on October 31 by an underworld gang leader of the Inner Ring. However, because his mother died protecting him, Harry somehow gained a sort of protection: if anyone tried to kill Harry the way she was the would-be killer would die instead. So he has a sort of immunity against being shot, though not superficially scarred; he was injured that night, leaving his distinctive scar.

Sent off to live with his mother’s sister in the Inner Ring, he did not have a happy childhood. Tormented by his cousin, having a cupboard for a bedroom, and being punished for things he couldn’t explain, such as the teacher’s wig turning blue, he often daydreamed of someone arriving and taking him away. However, just before he started middle school at age 11 he figured that no one was coming for him so he ran away to the Outer Ring, taking with him only an electronic communicator and money he stole from his aunt and uncle.

Four years later, he’s still living in the Outer Ring. He sleeps in abandoned buildings most of the time, his favourite being an old, castle-like structure that was abandoned many years ago, even before the start of the war. Sometimes he takes refuge at youth centres or in public buildings after closing hours, more so during the winter. He manages to live as a thief, mostly by taking small foodstuffs from grocers or pickpocketing people on the streets; he doesn’t take too much at once or else people will notice. He feels bad about it, though, as his conscience has not been completely silenced yet.

AU Appearance:
Standing at 167 cm (roughly 5”6’), he’s fairly certain he should be taller due to malnutrition; however, he strangely doesn’t want to grow much taller as that would stretch out his meagre weight even more and make it harder to go by unnoticed. His black hair is unruly no matter what he does with it, besides grow it out, and then he looks like a girl. His lightning-shaped scar and brilliant green eyes are his most distinctive features, though he tries to not stand out very much by not looking people in the eyes. His glasses are the only thing he will willingly stand to check regularly, as he’s quite myopic without them, though he only gets the cheapest pair.

Most of the time he is wearing worn boots with jeans and a shirt, with a sheathed knife clipped to his belt (hidden underneath his shirt). However, in cold weather he wears a heavy black leather jacket with lots of pockets that he saved up (and stole) a lot of money to buy before his first winter on the streets; he also wears black gloves and a very long gold and red striped scarf, both given to him by the proprietor of a youth centre two years ago.

Canon Personality:
First impressions matter very much to him, as do his friends, if he has any. He can be loyal to a fault, and brave to one, too. However, he does have a brain for some situations and generally gets his ass out of the fire before being too badly injured. He can also be obsessive over certain things, especially if he believes them to be true. He does get angry over certain things, namely the erratic things that present themselves whenever he is in danger, such as suddenly finding himself on roofs of very tall buildings; he would feel more pleasure with them if he could control them, but it’s this erratic behaviour that got him in trouble with his relatives most of the time. He wears his heart on his sleeve, but he is starting to acquire a poker face of sorts. He can also be quite selfless at times too, several times saving others from very dangerous situations and giving out money he has just taken to other street people, especially kids.

Powers, if any (May be rejected by the mods):
Some, but he cannot control them as of yet.
