appearance .
height/weight:: 6'2" // 185 lbs
body type:: Thin // Athletic
hair color:: Dark Brown
eye color:: Dark Brown
overall:: Where to begin? Well, to say that Justin was a clean cut, extraordinarily handsome man with no flaws would be a bit more than an overstatement. On the other hand, however, to call him ugly, or even unattractive would be more than an understatement. To say the least, I would say you could put him somewhere between the two, average if such a thing did exist.
Justin's eyes are beautiful, the color is a rather simple, dark chocolate brown, but it's not just the color that makes them so wonderful. There is so much emotion that can be read so easily from their depths, it's as if you could drowned in their endless, swirling color. No matter what he's talking about, there is always such a sparkle of intelligence and passion on the subject that is evident within his eyes, you could spend the entire time staring into them, and believe anything he'd tell you.
Justin has a full heart shaped face that still holds a thin, muscular appearance. His pale pink lips are just like everyone else's, nothing special at all. They don't really dry out too easily, and he never really does anything to protect them. The rest of his face is just about as average as it can get. He has a broad nose, and slightly bushy dark eyebrows. His skin is smooth and rather pale. He takes care to keep his face cleanly shaved, but he does let a bit of a beard consume his chin every now and then.
As far as his body type goes, he has a very thin, athletic build. He is tall and has lean muscles that are just barely noticeable when he doesn't flex. He used to swim a lot, and his body still remains in good shape. Though he's thin, he keeps a good amount of meat on his body so it looks as though he is quite active and healthy. His shoulders are broad and a very lean physique. He has sleek muscles, but isn't completely ripped. He does however, have a nice six pack just visible under the skin. His dark, almost black colored hair is usually kept short and spiked up in the front. Like many other guys, he doesn't quite care about the way he looks, though he does try to appear presentable.
He's never been one to spend a whole lot of time in the mornings getting ready. Getting up early in the morning isn't exactly his favorite thing to do everyday, and while he gives himself a bit of extra time in the morning to get ready, he usually wastes it in bed. While he's not in uniform for school, he'll most likely throw on a pair of jeans and a slim fitting t-shirt. He is always wearing the silver ring his father used to wear. He never really takes it off, leaving it as a constant reminder of what he refuses to become. A black watch and a silver chain can also usually be found on his body. Though he's much more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, he will dress up if he has to, and I must add he looks very sharp in a nice set of dress robes. He can most likely be seen wearing a pair of plain black converse, or a pair of black work style boots.

overall:: I suppose if you summed up Justin Whistler's personality into one word, it would probably be 'mature'. He's always keeps his cool and always knows just the right thing to say to make things better. He lives his life with a constant reminder of what he never wants to become and has absolutely no intention on hurting anyone. You may think that Justin is just your average guy that takes his roll as big brother too seriously, but you'd be wrong. He lives a life of deep secrets and mystery. Because of the pressure he puts on himself, he tends to be stiff and slightly uncomfortable with the way he is, willing to bend over backward to ensure that he'll never end up like his father. No matter his internal instability, you can always count on him to be there when you need him.
The stars have always been Justin's haven. He loves being outside in the dead of night with a clear sky where he can see all the beautiful stars. Whether that means he's alone, or sharing it with someone he cares for. He isn't a big fan of the summer heat, his heart rests with the beautiful winter. He does, however, love to swim. He's very intelligent as well, most of the time you can find him with his nose in a book. Not only does he enjoy to read, but he can be very passionate about art. He loves to draw and sketch things. He usually carries his sketchpad around as well as his books, pulling it out whenever he gets a good idea. He doesn't like people looking at his drawings, however, feeling that they are unworthy.
Justin is known for his mysterious, quite, calm, and collected attitude. He is very mature for his age, responsible, and completely devoted to whatever he sets his mind to. He has the natural skills of a leader and knows where his limitations are. Though he has many different friends with many personalities, he most enjoys hanging around people he can have an intelligent conversation with. He is very polite and easy to become friends with, he has no intention of creating enemies and will not be the one to start a fight. He isn't one to approach new people without a reason, and won't dislike someone unless given a reason. He is very good at keeping his cool and mediating situations, as long as it doesn't have to do with his younger sister. He is an extremely protective older brother and will jump to the worst possible conclusions almost immediately. He's willing to kill for Sarah and will do anything for her.
Justin can tend to come off as dark and mysterious at first. He chooses to keep his past and family life a complete secret. He is sensitive and willing to talk about any topic other than his family or his past. He can become bitter and almost angry if forced to talk about it. Justin is also exceptionally smart, getting remarkable grades and focusing on his studies a great deal. He tends to be modest about them however, and never brags about them. He does seem to keep them to himself, not wanted to be labeled a nerd, though he does pay attention in class nonetheless.
Still unsure about what he wants to do after he departs from Hogwarts in the spring, he continues to focus on what is right in front of him instead of the future. He's never been in a relationship worth calling a relationship. He's had a crush on a person here and there, but never actually had the guts to ask them out. It doesn't help he tends to be a bit oblivious to other people's feelings toward him. After Hogwarts he has considered returning as a teacher. He'd enjoy returning to the castle he's called home for so many years.

overall:: James and Evelyn met during their seventh year at Hogwarts. They bumped into each other in the library and fell in love. They were engaged two years later, but waited until after both had landed firm jobs before getting married. They were the perfect couple, both completely devoted to each other and happy with everything. It was only a short time later when they were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Holding a job at the ministry, James supported a decent upper-class family with a good name in the wizarding world.
Though Justin grew up with the benefits of having money, the family never acted like the typical rich people. They still kept a family oriented, happy life. Just after Justin reached the age of five, the family of three was made a family of four with the birth of his younger sister, Sarah. Justin was remarkably happy to have a little sister, and had acted like a great big brother even when he was little. Of course there were times the two wanted nothing to do with each other, but hey, that was siblings for you, right?
It wasn't until Justin turned eight that things started changing. His parents were steadily growing farther and farther apart, though their love for the children never faded, and Justin never noticed anything happening until it was too late. A year before receiving his letter to Hogwarts, James Whistler lost his job at the ministry under false accusations of working with the Death Eaters. Turning to alcohol as a solution, James quickly became an alcoholic. He steadily grew violent and spent more and more time away from home, spending all the family's savings on liquor. Justin was forced to watch his dad come home at unbelievably late hours and beat his mother, sister, and himself. He hated seeing the pain on his mother and sister's faces more than the pain he was feeling and willing put himself in the way to save them the torture. He had thought about running away several times, but always pushed the thoughts from his mind, refusing to leave his mother and younger sister to deal with his dad alone.
Dealing with his dad's steadily worsening problem, Justin had to grow up fast. His already protective and big brother instincts over Sarah grew to a monstrous point and they never left him. Justin promised himself and Sarah that he would never turn out like their father, and he constantly reminds himself of the horrors he had to face and the promise he made. That's why he always wears the simple looking silver ring upon his finger. He has to remind himself that he is nothing like him and focuses on his studies to prove to himself and everyone around him that he isn't - and never will be - like his father. He's ashamed of his father's actions and tries not to talk about his past and family at school. He's even gone as far as making Sarah promise not to tell anyone of it.
When the boy finally received his letter from Hogwarts, he refused to go, wanting nothing more than to stay home and watch over his mother and sister, defend them from his father. However, his mother forced him to go and he made a silent vow not to let it be a waste of his time. He had tried to run home multiple times during the first couple years, going home every chance that he got, however the longer he stayed at Hogwarts, the more he come to know it as home and he didn't want to return to the Whistler Mansion.
During his fourth year at Hogwarts, Justin's father died of alcohol poisoning. He was found dead two days after disappearing in a dark and wretched alleyway behind one of his usual bars. Immediately, Justin stepped up to the plate as head of the family, and did a good job with it as well. The death of his father had more of a relieving effect on Justin and his sister, however, it was much harder on their mother, who even after all the torment he had put the rest of the family through, still loved him. She spent the good part of a year in St. Mungo's and was finally released to the mansion with severe depression, leaving Justin to take care of Sarah, and in a way, his mother. He now sneaks home at least once a month to care for her and give her the meds she needs.
Justin has become a responsible, mature adult in a sense since then. To this day, he refuses to touch anything alcoholic, he also turns away from drugs or cigarettes, fearing addiction, fearing the risk he might turn into his father.

`` the EXCESS.

preferred house:: Ravenclaw // Gryffindor
read the rules?:: admin katie accepted .
roleplay sample:: (can be recycled, and remember, quality before quantity)Justin didn't understand what the Slytherin was trying to get at as Cieran continued to mock him, throwing everything he said back at the Ravenclaw. The muscles in Justin's jaw twitched as he clenched his teeth angrily. He knew the Slytherin wanted him to react that way, but the usual self control the Ravenclaw held had been off center that night. He was exhausted and didn't want to be out to begin with. Finding Sarah in the forest didn't help and Cieran's mind games were just frosting on the cake.
After he had punched Cieran, Justin's fist fell to his side. His other one continued to hold the boy against the tree and he watched the Slytherin's movements with continued anger. He couldn't believe what he had done, but he wasn't going to back down now. No, he couldn't. The Ravenclaw swallowed with difficulty as Cieran poked him in the chest. His eyes didn't move from the Slytherin's brown ones, though he was preparing himself for the inevitable retaliation.
The fact that the Malakar boy had performed the spell without even thinking about using a wand caught Justin off guard. The Ravenclaw was ripped from his standing position and hit the ground on his stomach a few feet away. The impact was enough to knock the wind out of him. Regaining his breath, he glared up at the Slytherin only to be struck down by his younger sister's words.
Her words, the fearful tone in her voice echoed in his mind and a devastated look appeared on the older Ravenclaw's face. He could read the expression on his younger sister's face as plain as day, practically reading her mind. Slowly he shook his head, her words hitting him again as he mind went over them again. He didn't know what to say. Even if he did, it seemed like his voice had disappeared.
Slowly, Justin returned to his feet. All the anger he felt for the Slytherin had disappeared as if the boy was no longer standing right there. Again he shook his head. "I'm not, I won't," was all he could say as he backed out of the clearing. His actions, the anger. It was what he had always said he wouldn't ever become. How could he let that happen?
He had to get away. Disappearing into the shadows, he turned and ran. He wasn't running away from the fight or the Slytherin. No, he was running away from his sister's words, their father's actions that were now his own. All of it. It had to go away. No matter how fast he ran, or how far he went into the forest, it seemed, he just couldn't get away. Finally he slowed to a stop.
He wasn't sure where he was, but that didn't matter. He looked up, searching for the answers among the stars just visible between the trees. Positive there was no one else around, he fell to his knees. Hot tears he wouldn't even let his sister see streamed down his cheeks. What had he done?
notes:: I love my Justin!
