Jason (Jace) Daniel Harper
Age: 23
Birthdate: July 28, 1981
Family background: Jace was raised by his parents; a former Ravenclaw turned art historian as his father, a former Slytherin turned magical archaeologist as his mother. He spent most of his summers away from school wandering around either museums or dig sites, learning the art and culture, and, later, flirting with the interns. His ancestry is skewed predominantly toward Ravenclaw and Slytherin pairs, and traceably pureblooded.
House in School: Slytherin
Bloodline (and does it matter?): Pureblood, and to a degree. It used to be considerably more convenient than it currently is, but the status is still there, even if the worldview is skewed.
Political Views: Politics are annoying. They get in the way of travel, work, and art, and generally serve no useful purpose, as there are much more effective ways to
Appearance
Visual Representation: Thomas Dekker
Description: Just scraping 6'0; slim and solid without being overtly muscular. Jace has blue eyes and brown hair which he tends to leave slightly long, and generally looks like he's deep in thought, even when he isn't.
Psychology and Personality
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Strengths: Jace has become very good at organization and delegation of tasks since founding his own architecture company. He has a lot of vision as far as his company is concerned, and will work tirelessly to complete a project or task. His dream is recognition, though not in the traditional sense. He wants his name to be known the way that people know that Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling; it need not be in this lifetime, but he wants, at some point, to feel like he's engineered something worth that kind of renown. Weaknesses: Jace can be incredibly single-minded when he's involved in something, to the exclusion of all else. (This could possibly also be considered a strength, but it is what causes him the most trouble of all his tendencies.)
Habits\Quirks: Jace collects vintage pin-up posters, especially the work of Alberto Vargas. The posters are displayed on a wall in his flat. He smokes, but generally cloves, and always outdoors (even in his own flat) unless invited otherwise. He never wears shoes or socks if possible, and has a ton of different kinds of mats and rugs in his flat in addition to the hardwood, because he loves feeling different textures.
Likes\Dislikes: Likes: textures, art, cultural history, stonework. Danger.. (i.e., there is a hammock on the terrace of his flat that hangs out over nothing. It's Jace's favorite place to nap or read.) Dislikes: shoddy workmanship, people touching his drafting table.
Lifestyle
Occupation: Architect
Financial Status: Very comfortable
Residence: A loft flat in the Shoreditch art district in London.
History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time:Jace left Hogwarts in 1999, and apprenticed himself to one of the foremost in wizarding architects for a year, then started his own firm. He has a team of contractors and artisans at his disposal, but still involves himself deeply in each of his individual projects, engaging himself as fully as possible in everything he does. For this reason, he tends to have only one major contract at a time.
When he isn't buried in his work, Jace enjoys frequenting clubs, primarily wizarding, but occasionally also Muggle establishments, in search of fun and company. He loves being the center of attention and entertaining people, whether a group or individual, public or private setting. He tries to make sure he has time for fun... 'all work and no play' and all that...
He visits his parents when they happen to be staying in one place for a discernable period of time, so once or twice a year, generally. They tend to follow his mother's digs, wherever such sites may be, and as such are rarely in residence at either of the family homes in the British Isles. (Jace will inherit the Welsh estate when he turns 25.)
Jace's Puppet Master is Manda (silverstardance)
