HI HELLO

[cosmonot]

HI HELLO. An angel descended from the heavens and bid me, "Hey, Jenny. Do not makest thou a 5th character. Also maybe you shouldn't write intro posts after drinking." and my dudes I totally 100% fuckin' ignored it. SO HI MEET GRIFFIN FLOWERS!!

Concept: Bumpkin self-destructs on DIY voyage to the stars.
Profile: Here
Griffin's Highly Informative Pinterest Board

Classes: Charms, History of Magic, Hermeticism, Potions, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Magizoology, Divination
Clubs: Azurbest Quidditch Keeper!!, Equestrian, OE, Gaming

Griffin is from a tiny magic-y village in Lancaster County, PA. That's Amish country. That is pretty much the extent of his exposure to muggle shit.

His family has been farming squonks for GENERATIONS. They have a lot of trouble keeping the farm family owned and operated because Squonk Farming sucks. So they rely pretty heavily on GUILT to keep the chain of inheritance alive.

Griffin's dad is a SECRET AGENT for the MACUSA. Basically like the wizard equivalent of a green beret/navy SEAL? And he's stationed in Korea and everyone thinks he's just a dead beat dad, so Griffin doesn't talk about him much because most people assume he's lying.

Griffin is a mathboy because I keep doing this to myself?? He likes physics and geometry especially and is into the concept of Sacred Geometry.

He's in DIVINATION but it's because he likes that they occasionally go over stars. He's respectful when he's in class but he doesn't necessarily believe in it. He doesn't have a "specialization" yet but I kind of want to do something absurd wit the Spin the Bottle bottle.

His DREAM is to become an astronaut. Griffin's dad bought him a telescope when he was younger, and he's obsessed with space. He's not so much a WOO ALIENS kid, although that's certainly there, too. He's more into the SCIENCE of it.

He's a sweet boy, but he's emotionally immature and SUPER naive and sheltered and copes by being a Typical Azurcrest and just making exponentially worse decisions as time goes on. Jesse McBride was PROBABLY his idol.

I basically wanted to make a character that embodies Yikes and here I am.

He's AMAZINGLY lazy and will put more work into "being lazy" than he would if he actually did something right the first time. He doesn't seem to realize he's doing this.

OK HI I'm gonna do this before I go to bed far too early ♥

Obvs the most relevant of mine is JAIME his CAPTAIN!!!!! (Plus they're in Equestrian club together). Jaime will love him because he loves people who are nice and excited about things but he will definitely encourage him to not be lazy, most especially about Quidditch but also some about school because he's trying to be a role model or something this year, and also doesn't want him to fail out. He won't understand his math. Is Griffin ready for CUTE PRACTICES??!

All my others are near irrelevant, unfortunately. Hazel is in OE with him, probably thinks he's weird but endearing, but also... whatever, small child. Ramon literally does not care about his existence beyond the fact that he's cute. They technically have a MACUSA link but since Griffin's is secret agent-y then that is not a thing. Phi literally does not care.

Rupert is at least in his grade and also in Div with him! He thinks Quidditch is boring and is very whatever about space because it's not acting so??? He'll probably just tell him what to do in any class overlap they have (Charms, Hermeticism, Potions, Transfig, Div)
