[/color][/b]Oh, you know. Sirius is incredibly good-looking. Everyone says so. Or maybe confident Sirius says so and no one wants to argue with him… At the very least, there are no traces of centuries of purist inbreeding on Sirius’ pretty face and strong jaw. He’s tall, standing at five feet, ten inches. And with a couple more growth spurts in him, Sirius will be over six feet by the time he’s finished growing. He’s robust, more solid than lean, and with muscle. Surprisingly, since no one’s ever caught Sirius doing anything that remotely resembles working out. Unless you count running from Filch…in-depth appearance:
Sirius’ eyes are grey, and his hair is a very dark brown. He likes to keep it longer, mostly because it bugs his parents, but also because he quite fancies the longer locks. When not in his Hogwarts uniform, Sirius loves to wear the most atrocious muggle clothing he can get his hands on. Being a pureblood, he’s not exactly well versed in muggle clothing in the first place. The result is interesting at best. At worst, the other Marauders pretend not to know him. [/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color][/b] Sirius is the type of reckless individual who would send Severus Snape to be mauled by a werewolf without even thinking about the consequences for his dear friend Remus Lupin.in-depth personality:
Basically, Sirius is terribly impulsive, and can be horribly callous. He’s a loose cannon who can be incredibly difficult to predict. He's loyal, and loves his friends, but he's immature and can't help but hurt them sometimes with his reckless plans of action. Sirius is a born leader, he’s awfully charismatic and charming, but he rarely, if ever, uses his talents for good. It’s always to lead others astray, into detentions, into the Forbidden Forest, into trouble. Sirius is always the first to suggest ditching class, the first to hex a Slytherin in the corridor. The only person who can bring out his good side is James Potter, because James is the only person Sirius listens to. Unfortunately, James can be just as trouble making as Sirius. Is it any wonder that the pair can frequently be found in detention together?
Sirius has a general aura of ‘bad boy’ around him. It’s a role he’s been honing his entire life. He never fit in with his family, and he’s got a lot of issues surrounding that. Often, these issues shoot him in the foot. Naturally bright, he never tries at school because that would make his parents happy. Sirius wouldn’t be caught dead playing quidditch or in the Charms Club. Group activities are for Hufflepuffs (Sorry, James). Again, participating in the right school activities would make his parents happy. Most of Sirius’ acting out is partially because he’s bright and bored and wants to amuse himself at everyone else’s expense, and partially because he loves to frustrate his parents. Not that he would ever admit that, or let you walk away without a fight if you insinuated as much to his face.
A huge commitment-phobe, Sirius has never dated anyone for longer than a few weeks. Actually, this rings true for just about everything. Sirius isn’t exactly the most stick to it individual. The most stable thing in his life has been the Marauders. Without James, Remus, and Peter to keep him on track, Sirius would never finish anything. Not a prank, not becoming an animagus, not anything. Nothing can hold Sirius’ attention for long, he gets bored too easily. He’s is notorious for being terrible to his female companions, often shacking up with a new girl before he’s bothered to inform the old one. He’s not an idiot, nor is he delusional, he knows he’s awful to the women of Hogwarts. He just doesn’t really care, and it always surprises him a bit when someone accepts his propositions. He certainly wouldn’t if he was a woman. But then, that’s Sirius. Always pushing boundaries to see how far everyone will let him go. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

[/color][/b] Severus Snape, detention, most classes, his brother, his parents, pretty much his entire family, commitment, joining any sort of activity, appearing to care about anything, being told what to do, being told 'no', people who don't find him hilarious, boring people, clingy people, getting told off by professors [/blockquote][/blockquote]dislikes:
-------
boggart:[/color][/b] Him, or James, dead. Sirius is under the impression that he's immortal, untouchable, and doesn't like it when people try to convince him otherwise.
patronus:[/color][/b] A black dog. His best memory is meeting James Potter, but if you tell James that Sirius will put you in the hospital wing.
mirror of erised:[/color][/b] Again, you can’t tell anyone. Sirius thinks he’s above all that mushy stuff, you see. But it’s him and the other Mauraders. Old, happy, prosperous.
wand:[/color][/b] Ebony wood, eleven and a half inches, and with a unicorn core

[/color][/b] In 1960, Sirius Black was born into the noble and pure house of Black. His parents had high hopes for their little heir. He was the first boy to be born in his generation, and was given a name worthy of his status. Unfortunately for his parents, Sirius spent the rest of his life dashing their hopes and skewering their expectations.in depth history:
From the beginning, Sirius was a handful. Whenever possible he’d sneak out and consort with muggles, he’d antagonize the house elves, and treated his family with disrespect. No punishment could cure Sirius of his wicked ways, and his parents despaired of ever making Sirius into a proper representative of the Black family. It didn’t help that Sirius’ younger brother, Regulus, was a model son. He was everything Sirius wasn’t. The more Walburga and Orion compared Sirius to Regulus, the more Sirius acted out. The dynamic fostered ill will between the brothers, and to this day Sirius will not willingly talk to Regulus. To Sirius, Regulus represents everything Sirius can never be, and would never want to be.
In his younger years, Sirius’ found companionship with his elder cousin Andromeda, and his Uncle Alphard. They were the only sane members of his family, and Sirius was crushed when they were both removed from the family tree. Not that it stopped him from sending them letters and visiting with them, something that only made his parents resent him more.
At eleven, Sirius finally found his place in the world. His home life was terrible by that point, and Walburga and Orion threatened him daily with disownment if he was sorted into a house other than Slytherin. To Sirius, that sounded like a pretty good deal. The Hogwarts letter was a surprise to no one, for Sirius had rather spectacularly displayed magic five years earlier when he restored Alphard’s likeness to the family tree. Several times. Over the course of a week. What happened on the way to Hogwarts cemented Sirius’ place as the black sheep in his family.
It wasn’t long into the trip on the Hogwarts Express before Sirius met up with James Potter. They struck up an instant friendship, in spite of their different backgrounds. At first, Sirius wasn’t interested in the Potter boy, he was a pureblood after all, and how was Sirius going to continue to antagonize his parents if he couldn’t find at least a halfblood? But as the train sped towards Scotland, Sirius found a kindred spirit in James, and a match made in Marauder Heaven was formed.
It was only natural that from there, Sirius became a Gryffindor. He always intended to sweet talk his way into the house his parents hated, and since James had mentioned that his entire family was in Gryffindor, it only cemented Sirius’ resolve. The Sorting Hat barely touched his head before it shouted, “GRYFFINDOR!” The school erupted into cheers, save his cousins, and Sirius grinned his way through the dinner, the evening, and through the howlers delivered to him the next morning.
From there, Sirius became close friends with two other Gryffindors in his year: Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Together, they formed the Marauders, a tight knit group of friends who became notorious around school for their pranks, and their detention record. They did all sorts of borderline and outright illegal things, from sneaking out past curfew to visit Hagrid, to sneaking out of Hogwarts completely to run amok in Hogsmeade. The worst incident had to be becoming illegal animagi. But they weren’t about to let werewolf Remus have all the fun alone! They started researching the process in third year, after they found out about Remus’ ‘furry little problem’, and they managed their first proper transformation at the very end of their fourth year. Sirius is quite excited to start the full moon adventures, and is very much counting down the days. At the very least, being animagi will help them complete their other grand project: The Marauder’s Map. It still needs some tweaks, especially when it comes to the Forbidden Forest and the grounds.
Sirius has a lot to do this year, and grand plans for his fifth year. Will he manage to fit in any study time for his OWLS? Probably not, now that Remus is a prefect, Sirius is under the impression things will only be wilder and more illegal than previous years. They have a prefect now! [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Hey, I'm Jade, and I've been roleplaying for 12 years.[/b]
roleplay sample:[/color][/b] “It’s my job to know where everyone is. Plus, the map helps.”Normally, Sirius didn’t say where he got his information. The map still wasn’t completely finished, so in all honesty he did rely a lot on just being an incredibly nosy individual with a knack for keeping track of useless details. Besides, he really liked the way Peter always seemed in awe of his uncanny ability to predict the location of any group at any time. It was rare that anyone was in awe of Sirius, and he decided he rather liked it. But, Peter wasn’t around, and Sirius never felt the need to impress James like that.
“I doubt that.” Sirius was calm. He knew Slytherins, his parents’ house had been a prime gathering spot for them. He was beating up Slytherins before James had ever met one. Probably. And he still hadn’t received a cigarette. Sighing, he pulled one out of his pocket and lit it using his wand. In the beginning, Sirius had tried to light all his cigarettes the muggle way. With one of those lighter things. But Hogwarts was chock full of magic, and that tended to cause even the simplest of muggle machines to go haywire. A trip to the hospital wing to replace his eyebrows had him tossing the bloody thing out the dormitory window. One day it would probably blow up the gardens. Oh well.
“Binns did.” Sirius was pushing his luck, he knew it. He didn’t know why he did it, sometimes he just felt like tempting fate. But, if James got mad and walked off, Sirius wouldn’t get to let off any steam. Hexing Slytherins wasn’t fun without a partner, and Remus would never participate and Peter was rubbish at dueling. Taking a long drag of his cigarette, Sirius deflected by laughing loudly at James’ Binn joke. He couldn’t remember the last time someone asked a question in class. “I’d bet galleons that person was Merlin.”Guessing how many years Binns had been at Hogwarts never got old. Remus had tried to guess once, using Binns clothing as a guess, and Sirius had nearly smothered him with a pillow for trying to ruin their fun.
Sirius was still smoking, but since James was ready to go, he willingly led the way. “Right, so, rules? Besides no permanent damage I guess. Wouldn’t want McGonagall to have kittens.” Sirius laughed at the thought, and chucked his finished cigarette on the ground. Unlike James, Sirius had never felt bad about throwing his butts on the ground. Call it a result of growing up with house elves.“Bonus points if you get Goyle. Lose points if you hit a Hufflepuff. That’s like kicking a puppy.”
