LIKES:
- reading
- his own space
- getting his way
- stirring up trouble
- tea
- music
- poetry
- fashion
- winding other people up
- teaching
DISLIKES:
- being forced to hang out in a large group
- idiocy in others
- authority figures
- judgemental people
- argumentative people
- overly talkative people
- pretty much just people in general, minus a select few
- stereotypes
STRENGTHS:
- he's a voracious reader, particularly of poetry, and can quote whole soliloquies from various shakespeare plays by heart, as well as several poems. he keeps his reading quiet, because he wants to preserve his badboy image, but he's incredibly well-read and could easily hold his own in a deep literary discussion with people a lot older than him.
- he knows his own mind and who he is very well. julian is very confident in his own skin and of himself and thus insults roll off his back so easily it's almost not true. he doesn't care what anybody else thinks of him and how he acts.
- he adapts well to new situations and thus is usually pretty content wherever he is, since he just deals with it and concentrates on other things.
- nobody knows, but he's a seriously good singer. he would rather die than be caught singing anywhere, but his mother taught him lots of folk songs when he was younger and, like his poetry, they all stick very well. he has a lot of them off by heart and sometimes when he's home along he'll sing to himself, but never otherwise.
- again, it's a secret, but he's also a good teacher. he's helped a couple of mates out in the past with lessons they're struggling with, and he's very patient and practical and explains things really well.
- in his own way, he's a good friend to the few he has, and pretty much the only time he ever rouses himself out of his usual apathetic state is to make cutting remarks to anybody trying to be mean to his friends.
WEAKNESSES:
- he's very arrogant and superior - he believes himself better than pretty much everybody around him and doesn't bother trying to disguise it.
- he is disinterested to the point of apathy in pretty much everything around him. it's an extension of his arrogance, but he just doesn't think anything around him is really worthy of his attention, be it people or events. he exists in his own little bubble where he's the only thing that matters and he rarely ventures out of it.
- he's a right lazy bastard and could probably stay in bed all day if you'd let him.
- he's got the classic "rich white boy" problems - he's spoilt rotten and has more money than is sensible but he still rebels against his parents and school rules and pretty much everything.
- he can't commit properly to anything except books and procrastinates like hell.
- he has next to no ambition and despite his good grades has little interest in trying to get a good job. pretty much his only aim in life is to eat well, get more sleep than he needs, sleep with a lot of women, and live off his father's money for the rest of his life.
HABITS/QUIRKS:
- julian is a smoker - he started because he thought it was cool and now he can't stop. he's not a chain smoker like his mother but he has at least ten a day.
- when he's deep in a book he is totally and completely oblivious to anything around him and there's no point even trying to talk to him. you can tell when he's in this state because he frowns very deeply and taps the fingers of his left hand against the cover of the book.
- he can get cross to the point of violence if somebody takes away a book he's reading whilst he's in the above-mentioned deep-concentration state. he's punched people across the room before for knocking his book out of his hands. he hates the way anger like that leaves him feeling afterwards, which is one of the reasons he does most of his reading in a quiet place where people are unlikely to find him.
- he has a bad habit of doing drugs on occasion when he gets bored, just to alleviate the monotony.
WISHES/GOALS:
- julian's main goal right now is to find a career that he can actually envisage himself doing for the rest of his life. right now all the options presented to him seem pretty shit, in his opinion.
FEARS:
- losing his inheritance
- puppets
BOGGART:
MIRROR OF ERISED:
- julian's greatest desire is to find a girl who loves him because of all his quirks and flaws, rather than the usual girls he gets with who just want to be with him for his reputation and run off the minute he reveals any deeper parts of his personality.
DEMENTOR:
PATRONUS:
VERITASERUM:
- he thinks, just maybe, he might like to end up teaching one day.
- his friends mean more to him than he lets on. he's actually very fond of them, even if he does act pretty disinterested in them most of the time.
AMORTENTIA:
- tea
- roses
- old books
- dusty rooms
- toffee apples

OTHER IMPORTANT FIGURES:
cousins: anna (14) and henry (11) watson. julian likes anna because she's well-mannered, pretty, quiet, and thinks he's completely marvellous. he detests henry, however, because the boy is loud, obnoxious, and enjoys shooting toy arrows at julian's face.[/ul]
OVERALL HISTORY:
at the age of eleven, julian's hogwarts letter arrived and he duly went off with two trunks full of luggage and a calm confidence that he was going to be the best thing to happen to hogwarts in decades. he sat alone on the train with a book, having no desire to make tentative attempts to befriend others like many of his yearmates were doing. julian's experience thus far was that other kids wanted to be friends with him, not the other way around. duly sorted into slytherin, julian decided that the boys in his dorm were pretty decent and condescended to make friends with them, although he never quite "clicked" with them the way they seemed to with each other. this is a problem that still affects julian - he has friends, sure, but he hasn't quite worked out how you take that tiny extra step to know and understand each other. he is stoutly loyal to his friends and when he's not got his nose in a book likes to do normal teenage boy stuff with them, but he still feels a little distanced from them.
starting lessons, he established himself as one of the better students in the year and also as a serial rule-breaker. it was mostly minor infractions, just because he had never in his life had to follow rules so strictly before, and could usually waive any punishment with tears if he needed to. but things were different at hogwarts and julian didn't consider himself to be subject to the rules the way the others were, which meant he rarely conformed and found himself in trouble a lot. eventually he learnt to be more subtle about it, and although he flouted the rules as much as ever he just got caught an awful lot less.
moving up in the school, julian settled comfortably into the reputation he'd established for himself and tried not to get too frustrated with the perceived stupidity of those around him. he has to this day little patience for idiots - which is basically anybody not as clever as him or who chatters too much or who makes inane observations every second of the day - and for this reason rarely got involved with people in his year group outside of his housemates or classmates. he made enough friends to be getting on with and he's fine with that.
in his fourth year, for his fifteenth birthday, an older slytherin student presented him with a joint as a joke birthday present. julian ignored it at first, but one day one of his crippling states of boredom seized him and so he decided to smoke the joint just to see what would happen. he enjoyed it so much that he procured more drugs, and from that point on whenever he felt himself growing bored he'd just smoke whatever he had closest and enjoy the results. he dealt well with the effects and learnt to mostly mask his state from adults, although he always got a lot chattier and ruder and tended to be in trouble more. at the end of his fourth year he amused himself enormously by taking a history of magic exam when high as a kite and absolutely aced it, getting one of the best marks in about thirty years.
during the summer between his fourth and fifth year, his father really started pressuring him into learning more about the company he runs and studying harder so julian could eventually step into his father's shoes. julian, however, doesn't have much ambition beyond getting good food so he became increasingly infuriated with his father's nagging - especially once his parents found and confiscated his cigarettes - and so one evening he got drunk with the daughter of one of the neighbours down the road, lost his virginity to her, then they both took off to the nearest town where he got himself a tattoo. being julian, he of course got himself a shakespearian one. he woke up the next morning and got the biggest bollocking he'd ever received, and tripled his punishment by getting bored halfway through his father's tirade and just walking out of the room. grounded for the remainder of the summer, banned from sending or receiving owls, julian accepted his punishment stoically and utilised the opportunity to read his way through a quarter of the massive family library.
he was duly shipped back off to school in september, still in the dog house, but quickly reverted to his old habits - just now he added sex into the mix as well. and so julian continues, reading and smoking his way through life and being basically happy with the way things are going for him. sure, he'd like to have a proper friend, someone who he can tell about his less "cool" habits, but whatever. in his eyes, he doesn't need anybody at all.
