Name: Jakob Harkey
Age: 19
Heritage: Pure-Blood
Family: Father: Eric Harkey, Governor
Mother: Melinda Harkey, Unemployed
Sister: Elaine Harkey, Student at Beauxbatons
Side: Neutral
Personality: Jakob is often quite rude without realizing it. He's used to being surrounded by friends that will back him up and so he hates his current position without them. He's great with situations and places he's familiar with but doesn't remain that way in newer environments. Jakob's used to getting what he wants, but as of lately his luck hasn't been too good.
Background: Jakob was born into a very rich powerful pure-blood family. The Harkeys weren't Death Eaters or anything, but they did agree with many of Voldemort's opinions including his hatred of muggles. At Hogwarts, Jakob was unsurprisingly sorted into Slytherin where he developed a bad boy attitude and a rather flat outlook on life. He became a bit of a slacker and didn't partake in anything important unless it was absolutely necessary. He made good grades though since that was the one rule Jakob's parents set and actually enforced. Other than that though, Jakob was very respected among his fellow peers for his 'too cool for school' attitude.
In Jakob's third year, he met a shy Gryffindor girl named Leah. Leah was muggle born; therefore, none of his friends or family approved of her. Funnily enough, Jakob was intrigued by Leah and became her friend without his own friends' knowledge. By fourth year, the two were seeing each other in secret, and Jakob was quickly falling in love with Leah despite everything that was going against their relationship. Everything wasn't perfect though, since Leah was quite fed up that Jakob would not allow their relationship in public and told him that it would never work out if they kept it in secret. Jakob didn't listen. Jakob was also unfaithful to Leah and would often lie to her to prevent her from discovering the truth. He loved her, but Jakob just didn't have any self control.
In fifth year, Leah became pregnant. This horrified Jakob, and he broke off his relationship with her immediately. He didn't want to become a dad; the very thought scared him. Through a chain of events around the end of fifth year, Jakob and Leah's secret relationship was revealed around the same time Leah gave birth to a baby boy, Tyson. Jakob's parents were furious and disinherited Jakob in disgust. Him being with a muggle-born was absolutely horrific. Most of Jakob's friends stayed with him but no longer admired him; they talked crap about him whenever he wasn't around. This made Jakob quite bitter and he never tried to reconile with Leah.
Leah and Jakob both graduated and left Hogwarts without ever getting back together. Jakob took a job at Hogwarts as a groundskeeper since he had no money to just do nothing like he'd planned before. When Jakob turned 19 though, suddenly he received an owl and his son. The owl was from Leah saying that Tyson was put in Jakob's custody. And that was all; no explanation or nothing. And that's where Jakob is now in his life.
Physical Appearance: Jakob has light brown hair that goes down to his blue/grey eyes. He's got a pouty expression with his light pink lips. He's 5'11" and generally wears good clothes.
Ambition in Life: To get to know Tyson. However he denies it.
Role Model in Life: No one really.
House: Used to be a Slytherin.
Job: Groundskeeper
Special Powers or Gifts: None
Roleplaying Sample: Jakob looked at the boy with confusion on his face. The boy wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to show up all the sudden in his home with no words but merely a smile. What the hell was he doing here? The boy looked back at Jakob with the innocence and naivity of a child. Jakob frowned and looked away. He couldn't take in that this was his son. His son. Jakob didn't know a thing about this boy. He didn't know his mother anymore, and he didn't know why he was here or where he came from. These questions seemed to weigh down on him, and Jakob's head felt like it was spinning.
This was his kid. And he had to take care of him. Tyson. That was the kid's name. His kid's name.

Oh yeah and I'll make you a Groundskeeper hut. Gonna stick it in the staff offices for now as it would probably be easier then having it in the forest or anywhere else. Might move it though. Urm anything else? You don't need the password to anything, do you? Oh, I'll PM you the Staff Office password, might aswell have something
