Basic Info

Name:	Sirius O. Black
Birthdate:	1987-11-20

Bio

Sirius Orion Black

Nickname or alias: Padfoot (he won't expect anyone to know this name)
Age: 18
Birthday: March 22, 1960
Current Residence: A small flat somewhere near Heather's house.
Marauders' Map: The Map shows Sirius most of the town. Some of the more mysterious areas are fuzzy around the edges, but they will become clear once Sirius has explored them. It also shows everyone in the town as small moving dots. Anyone who he gets an introduction from will have a label fill in over their dot, identifying them from then on. Fake names don't trick the map, and it won't fill in someone's label unless the person actually gives a name. Just hearing someone's name from another person won't work.
Those currently on the Map are:
Sirius Black
Alice Cullen
Edward Cullen
Cedric Diggory
Kat Dursley
Lily Evans
Heather Lisinski
Luna Lovegood
Hank McCoy
James Potter
Pepper Potts
Willow Rosenburg
Severus Snape
Playby: Kevin Zegers

Family
Blood status: Pure
Parents: Orion and Walburga Black
Siblings: Regulus Arcturus Black
Other notable relatives: Alphard Black (uncle, lent him money), Andromeda Black (favorite cousin), Bellatrix and Narcissa (cousins).
Pets: None. Sirius tried to keep a Devil's Snare for a pet in his last year at Hogwarts, but even that died under his care right before he was caught and sentenced to several week's detention for having it. He's not great on care, Black.

Magic

Potions: Moderate. Sirius has never had much patience for Potions, but he does have competence in their creation – if only because some of his pranks involved them.
Charms: Excellent.
Transfiguration: Excellent. Sirius spent many extra hours using this particular branch of magic to become an animagus in secret.
Ancient Runes: Poor. He wouldn't know and Ancient Rune if it bit him.
Arithmancy: Poor. He never took the class.
Defence Against the Dark Arts: Excellent. Sirius always found the class interesting, especially after he and James decided to fight against Voldemort.
Divination: Mediocre. He took the class, but most of his class-work consisted of his attempts to see how mental of a prediction he could come up with in a half hour.
Other: Sirius is the type to flourish his wand a lot when casting spells. It might be because he's a Black, and it might just be because Sirius is a narcissistic prat, but when he learned to duel, he learned to duel with style. He knows a good bit about proper dueling forms, and when he's overconfident, he'll use them. When he's a bit wary, however, Sirius is more likely to fight dirty and throw style and form out the window.

Magical Oddities: Animagus. No real oddities.
Patronus: A hulking dog, unsurprisingly.
Boggart: An opponent he can't defeat. The boggart would change forms constantly (likely taking on Voldemort's form a lot).

Strengths and Weaknesses

Sirius is an extremely confident human being, and is also extremely brave. There are few things that he wouldn't attempt if he needed to. He would risk death for anyone he knows. Sirius is also very good at seeing the possibilities of objects in any given situation. While in school, he used this ability to come up with creative pranks. Now that he's out in the real world, he uses the ability to come up with ways to one-up the enemy and stay alive. Another of his strengths is Sirius's charisma. He's very likable and easy to get along with because of his easy laugh and habit of lightening tense moods.

On the flip-side of Sirius's confidence is his arrogance. When Sirius goes into the mode where he treats every idea that's not his as completely useless, it can cause considerable tension and friction with his comrades. It is also a rare day that Sirius will apologize for anything he does that does not lead to a close brush with death. Even if he's wrong in an argument, he won't admit it.

Another weakness is how wrapped up Sirius can become during a duel. When he's in a battle, it's as if everything else in the world disappears for him. Sometimes he won't even hear when other people need his help. He has a bit of tunnel-vision at all times, so when something does manage to distract him, it leaves him completely open to attack.

Likes: Butterbeer (though he won't say no to firewhiskey), chips, pranks, laughing, dueling, good comebacks, banter, humiliating people he doesn't like, being better than other people, knowing that he's rather handsome.
Dislikes: Arrogance in anyone but himself and James (Sirius is a true hypocrite), the Dark Arts, pureblood mania, fish, studying too much, constant 'pity me' angst.
Quirks: If he passes a mirror, he's going to look into it. There is no way to prevent this. If you stand between Sirius and a mirror, it's going to drive him mad while he tries to catch a glimpse of himself. He adores his hair, and it's almost impossible for him to go through a day without fixing it at least once. Sirius also has a habit of making exaggerated faces. Sometimes, a person could swear Sirius's face is made of rubber.

Fears: Losing the war, but more particular he's afraid of losing his best mate. He never got on well with most of his family, so he's very close to the Potters and their son. James is more like a brother to him than anyone else, and it would kill him to deal with his death.

History
Sirius came into a world where he was immediately doted upon. He wasn't bad looking, he was pureblood, and he was the first son of an aristocratic sort of family. In his household, that made Sirius practically a god from the word go. As he grew older and his younger brother arrived in the world, Sirius' life as a deity slowly began to deteriorate.

Even from the beginning he wasn't actually certain about his parents' pureblood mania. He had grown up with it, but when he actually took the time to step back and think for himself, Sirius began to realize that something didn't quite add up with the way of thinking. He was still young, though, and his parents were still on a fairly high pedestal. By the time he was nearing ten, though, that pedestal was already beginning to turn to dust. In part, this was due to his growing interest in jokes and rebellion, and his prat of a brother's increasing habit of finding ways to please their parents.

By the time Sirius was eleven, he noted that his brother had completely taken over as the favorite of the family. He was just so damn obedient.

Seething with outrage when his parents bought Regulus a starter broom when Sirius should have been getting at least a little special treatment, Sirius started his first year of Hogwarts.

It was a shock to everyone but perhaps Sirius when he was Sorted into Gryffindor. For Sirius, it was revenge.

During that first year he met James (who he quickly hit it off with and deemed his best mate by the first week), Remus (who he thought was a little off for at least the first few months before befriending him), and Peter (who he immediately took a liking to on the first night, seeing as how the boy was quick to worship his brilliance). On the opposite end of that, he found an arch nemesis the moment he stepped foot on the train. In as bad a mood as he was in, Sirius took out his considerable frustration on a certain Severus Snape. The boys never quite got on after that.

As he continued through his years at Hogwarts, Sirius took on the reputation of a troublemaker. He also became an animagus with James and Peter, and helped to draw up the Marauders Map.

Sirius had never been exactly… serious… about anything in life. He was one of those people who naturally did well in school and almost anything else. Because of this, he didn't ever see the need to try very hard or really care much about anything in life. As Voldemort began to rise to power and he realized what was happening, however, Sirius finally realized that there was more to life than being popular in school and showing off his intelligence with pranks.

He finally had a purpose. And that purpose was to stop the Dark Lord by any means possible.

And then, halfway through his last year of Hogwarts, he ended up here. With a bunch of Muggles and Merlin only knows what else. Sirius? He's a bit bemused.

Personality

Sirius is a haughty human being. Despite all of his rude and misbehaving ways, he's been brought up properly pureblood. If it actually tickled Sirius' fancy, he could be among the best of them with his manners and stately speech.

But it doesn't tickle his fancy. In fact, Sirius would yell every expletive he knew at the top of his lungs just to spite the idea of his proper upbringing. It didn't taken but one very short year at Hogwarts for Sirius to gleefully smudge away a decade of instruction in manners.

Even without trying, though, he still has some of that casual elegance that the nobler pureblood houses are known for. To back it up, he has a nasty streak that any Slytherin would be proud of... if it wasn't constantly being turned on them.

Sirius has a twisted sense of humor and can almost always make a joke out of a situation. On the opposite hand, however, he's given to abrupt mood swings and bitter sulks.

Some of the most well-known aspects of his personality are his coming up with elaborate conspiracy theories, doing something just because there's danger involved, and having little regard for other people's feelings.

Sirius is a bit of a character, and it takes some ruddy amazing friends to put up with him on a daily basis.
