Example of Role-Playing
Holden Caulfield walked out of a dark alley way as he began acting like he came from behind there and not like he just popped up out of no where. That was one thing he particularly liked about being a wizard: apparating. It made the job easier than going by train or the Floo Network. To be honest he didn't like the Floo Network one bit. Never could really on the bloody transportation. Say something wrong and you might end up regreting where you wanted to go in the first place. Nasty stuff if you asked him.[/size][/size][/color]
He pulled out his infamous cigarette box and pulled out his last cigarette. Soon it was lit and in between his lips as he stuffed his lighter back into his pocket and the empty box into a near by trash can. Holden put his hand into his left pocket to put his hand near his wand just in case he just happened to need it. Usually he didn't need his wand but on some cases he didn't know how to live without it. Being a wizard had grown on him in the past odd eight years or so.
The nineteen year old wizard began walking as his gray eyes drifted everywhere. It was nice to go out by himself and just enjoy having some Holden James Caulfield time as he called it for the most part. Holden pulled out the cigarette and just held it by his side as he blew out the smoke. At times he wondered why he even started this unhealthy habit. But he always remembered the stress he felt after his mom dying and nicotine seemed like the best thing to do at the time.
Where to go to today. I've been down that way. Went down Fleet Street two weeks ago. Went to the pub over there a couple times. Went over there. There was always places to go and places to explore. If he was going to live somewhere he thought it would be best. Even though he had lived in London (Muggle) for a couple years of his life he had forgotten some of it by being in the wizarding London for too long.
Holden Caulfield licked his lips then stuck the cigarette back in his mouth. He stuck his right han into his pocket to fiddle with the lighter in it. Maybe I should have gone to get Peter. He's not a bad kid. Keep him from messing with Rachel all the time. Would give him something to do.
Soon he found himself near a lamp post. Holden leaned against it and pulled the cigarette out of his mouth. The smoke came from his nose as his eyes stared at the ground. Where to go? Eyes darted near the end of the road. Could always visit another country. I would be back in time for supper.
History and Personality needs to NOT be in bullet points and needs to have at least some paragraphs in it. Please fix it and then post in Sorting Term Ten.
