STERLING ELIJAH SLOPER
INTRODUCTION
Full name: Sterling Elijah Sloper
Nickname(s): Sloper, Slopes
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
House: Slytherin
Year: Seventh
APPEARANCE
Play By: Ashton Kutcher
Style: Sterling doesn’t care very much about his appearance at all. He does care to the point that he doesn’t look like a complete ragamuffin, but his jeans are pretty worn out, as are his old t-shirts, worn out plaids, and ridiculous ugly sweaters. He hasn’t bought new shoes since his fifth year, for example.
Distinguishing Marks: None yet, but he’d like to get a couple tattoos.
PERSONALITY
Likes: Home cooked meals, spicy food, loud music, competitions, hanging out
Dislikes: Most fruit, formal wear, uncomfortable silences, reading, spiders
Boggart: Being in a coma
Patronus: Monkey
Strengths: Ability to take an uncomfortable situation and turn it into some sort of joke, or at least more pleasant.
Weaknesses: Inability to take anything seriously.
Personality: Nothing about Sterling is serious. Everything is childish, immature, and a joke. Some would cite him as laid-back in this respect, because he’s very easy going and likes to have a good time, but some would be more particular and say that he most definitely isn’t, as he usually can’t go with the flow of things if they’re too stoic or normal for his tastes. He likes things to be surprising and out of the ordinary, as if every day were some roller coaster to be tackled. He doesn’t like to live that way alone, usually dragging whoever is around him into the shenanigans as well.
Sterling doesn’t like to talk about feelings, or ooey-gooey stuff that girls usually find themselves discussing. He’s a great friend because he shows everyone he’s with a good time, but Sterling can definitely be a flake and sometimes doesn’t know when to settle down an d just listen. He’s not very good with consoling people or helping them with their problems, because he’s always denied that he has any problem, liking to live life carefree. This can definitely backfire for him. He’s never been able to hold a serious relationship because he’s been unable to commit. Being a guy, it’s easy for him to hold onto best friends (because best friends for guys is definitely different than between ladies), but when it comes to girls, it’s hard for him to connect.BIOGRAPHYFather: Jack Sloper
Mother: Primrose Turpin
Siblings: Older sister
General History: Sterling was born just a year after his older sister, and the pair were raised in the midst of London by their parents, Jack and Prim. Despite being a wizarding family, the little family lived around muggles, and most of Sterling’s childhood friends were muggles. He and his sister got along well, but they were never very close. They bickered like normal siblings, and played around once in a while, but Sterling mostly loved to roam around London, gaining more and more freedom each year he grew older.
Hogwarts time rolled around soon enough, and Sterling couldn’t be happier to follow his sister to school. It had been very hard on him to watch her run off to something exciting without him, but his turn came soon enough. Very quickly, Sterling realized that he absolutely detested school and school work. Many people wondered why he was sorted into Slytherin, as he had very little ambition and wasn’t the definition of ‘cunning’. He was witty, and knew how to make people laugh, sometimes pranking people at the expense of his cruel jokes. He gained a reputation for being a complete burnout even in his younger years. He skipped classes and neglected his homework, absolutely no concern for his grades. As a result, he received pretty terrible grades, some of the worst in the school. When the administration would call him out on it, though, he would try and get them up, but just enough so the school got off his back.
Now, in his seventh year, Sterling is faced with many choices. He has no idea what he wants to do with the rest of his life, and his choices are very few as his grades were terrible, and he took the minimum amount of classes to graduate. Will he even graduate, or will his laziness get the better of him? Will he party away his last year at school, or will he try to change his perspective, learning what the word “serious” is? Will he finally learn how to connect to someone on a deeper level, or will his attempts at relationships continue to disappoint?ABOUT THE AUTHORYour name/alias: JIGGY
