Sorry this is still a WIP. I copied and pasted a lot from the old application and and working to plug in all the missing pieces.
FULL NAME: Theodore Aristaeus Nott
NICKNAME: Theo, Ted,Teddy
GENDER: Male
AGE: 18
BIRTHDATE: October 12th
BLOOD-TYPE: Pure-blood
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
NATIONALITY: English
LOYALTY: Slytherin house, Nott family
CAREER: None
WEALTH STATUS: The Nott family is wealthy, so with Theo’s father imprisoned he has more or less inherited the family fortune.
HAIR: He has dark brown hair that he keeps cropped short. He doesn’t do much to it, just spikes it up a tiny bit so that it remains relatively clean and avoids becoming unkempt during the school day.
EYES: Theo has dark, slightly haunting brown eyes.
BODY TYPE: He stands just under 6’1”, which in all respects isn’t freakishly tall, but he likes to think it makes him more intimidating. While certainly on the skinny side, the muscles he has are quite defined, especially in his jaw. He hardly ever wears short sleeves but when he does, one can tell he is strong enough to hold his own. His face is well-defined and almost square in appearance, in a way that almost makes him look sophisticated. His lips are rather full (a family trait, no doubt) and his skin is well tanned.
FEATURES: He's only got one - a small scar on his right shoulder where, when playing as a child, he fell into an armoire at home.
STYLE: He dresses rather casually, mostly in his school uniform or something comfortable yet nicely pressed and put-together.
FACE CLAIM: Michael Trevino
WAND: Dogwood, 13 inches, dragon heartstring core
PATRONUS: Wolf
BOGGART: Losing Lysandra
DEMENTOR: It's a tie between his mother passing away and watching his father get taken away.
AMORENTIA: What are three things that you would smell under this love potion?
VERITASERUM: What is your deepest secret?
MIRROR OF ERISED: What are your goals and ambitions?
FELIX FELICIS: What makes you feel confident?
AGING POTION: Where do you see yourself down the road?
CONCENTRATION CAPSULES: What is your earliest memory?
LIKES: Duelling/fighting,
DISLIKES: Pranks, snakes,
HOBBIES: Theodore has recently taken to collecting odd gadgets and experimenting with them magically.
STRENGTHS: Potions, Transfiguration
• Ambition - Theodore always knows what he wants to achieve, sets a deadline, and knows how to reach his end goal.
• Clever - While he doesn't outwardly show it, Theo is very smart. He does well in most of his classes and has recently taken an interesting in magical inventions.
• Strength - Description
WEAKNESSES:
• Overbearing - Theo is arrogant and sees himself as superior to most. He tries to control other people's behavior and ignores their opinions and feelings.
• Humor - He has no sense of humor. He doesn't really joke around with his friends or find the taunting they do to be all that funny.
• Loner - While Theo does has friends and occasionally can be seen with his housemates, he's never been compelled to join their "gang". He's often by himself and he really does prefer it that way.
HABITS: What are their most peculiar and frequent habits and quirks? List both good and bad.
ISSUES: While Theo acts tough on the outside, he's been affected by the war and the fact his father was imprisoned.
GENERAL PERSONALITY: Theodore is nothing if not protective. Since he was able to comprehend, his little sister has been the focal point in his life, keeping her safe his main mission. He spends a lot of time watching over her, making sure she's safe. While she is quiet because of her submission, he shares her trait but for an entirely different reason. Theodore's mind is always moving, thinking of new routes to take or new ways to become his own man. He finds idle chat to be pointless, and really only speaks when he feels something should be said. Now, when in the presence of friends and he loosens up a bit, he is a bit more for conversation. His vocabulary is on the sophisticated side thanks to his upbringing but he has been known to let his guard down and relax occasionally.
The protectiveness, of course, is not the most prominent trait about Teddy, considering that he believes it to be a weakness. When someone thinks of Theodore Nott, the word "cold" is used. He is rather good at the whole indifference thing. Bless him, but for the life of him the boy can't seem to care much about those he has no personal relationship with. His family and close friends are exceedingly important to him, but as for others? To be honest, he finds himself above talking to them. If one does not prove themselves to be worthy of his time, he usually brushes them off. Teddy is most turned off by those who are overly cheerful or extremely immature.
One other more prominent thing about Teddy Nott is his determination and ambition. There has always been something within him, a certain fire behind the coolness in his eyes. While sometimes hard to read during casual encounters, it is easy to see how headstrong he is when looking at his marks. Teddy always goes out of his way to make sure he excels in school, and generally in anything else he tries. His attitude strongly conveys an inner need to be "the best" just as his father always encouraged of him. It is undeniable that he was passed down that trait through the bloodlines, and while he tries to hide it, it is one of the most difficult things about him to disguise. He can't just start something and then just never finish it. He's always striving for more - even resorting to cheating or subtly threatening a younger Ravenclaw or two for answers when he's enrolled in a class he doesn't particularly do well in.

PETS: None
HISTORY: Theodore's middle name is Aristaeus, which is Greek in origin and translates to "the best". And that is what his father truly believed he would be when he sired him. Not only was he the firstborn, but he was the first and only male born to the couple, and therefore looked upon to take up the family legacy and continue what his father and his father before him have built. True to the typical pure-blood family, Theodore wasn't really given much choice in the matter of whether or not he wanted to be his own man. Perhaps he would have turned out differently, had a younger sister not been unexpectedly born a year after him.
The man he could have been - should have been, according to his father - was lost as soon as little Lysandra was born. As soon as Teddy was old enough to recognize how helpless and tiny she really was, something overtook him that hasn't gone away since. Even at the tender age of three, he had begun to watch over her movements, intervening when he did something he knew to be wrong. As he grew older and his mind matured, he began teaching her what he knew about simple tasks such as tying shoes - something their parents couldn't be bothered with. They weren't abusive, but simply found their daughter to be unnecessary and focused what little energy they put forth into their son and the heir of their throne. What little trouble Lysandra did manage to get in, despite her obedient and sweet disposition, Teddy always covered for her. Always. If she made a mistake he would claim it as his own (though the times were rare) and accepted the lecture and scolding from his father without a single noise of complaint. No one needed to tell him that this youngster needed his protecting. He simply knew.
This continued on for many years, Theodore leading the way with Lysandra close behind him. When he was ten and his sister nine, their sickly mother passed away with her children looking on. At a young age, Teddy had felt compelled to be emotional at his mother's passing but simply held onto his sister. Though their mother had never particularly cared much for them, he still went later and cried in his room when everyone else had gone to sleep. This, of course, left both he and Lysandra with the ability to see Thestrals, though he finds the creatures revolting. After their mother's passing, their Aunt took over teaching his sister the ways of a proper pure-blood woman and his father continued teaching Theodore how to control the estate. By the age of eleven when his Hogwarts letter came, the young boy was fully capable of running an entire pure-blood superpower family. Although he never knew the true darkness behind his father's motives and simply learned without rebelling, the whole time allowing his own independent fire to burn within him, unnoticed. So stoic and "pliable" was he that his father never once expected him to grow a mind of his own. And that's exactly what he did.
He was reluctant, to say the least, to leave his little sister behind and attend Hogwarts, but it was a necessary evil. Upon his arrival, the sorting hat recognized his name, glanced only briefly at the determination burning within him and he was immediately sorted into Slytherin. Being pure-blood, he was soon swept into the world of Draco Malfoy, though never to the extent of taunting other students. Theodore felt it to be unsightly and pointless, especially considering he made an effort to protect Lysandra from people of that same nature. While Draco considered him an equal, unlike many of the other Slytherin boys, Theodore often felt out of place in a world where blood status and money meant everything, yet so little to him.
He was quite proud when his sister was sorted into Ravenclaw a year later and felt more at ease with her at school with him. Over the years, he grew to relax a little as they spent more time away from their father. Of course he made a habit of going out of his way to ensure her safety but tried his best to respect her boundaries. Lysa had her own friends within her house and he couldn't or shouldn't always be looming over her shoulder. He always checked in with her after dinner their first couple of shared years together, but backed off as the years went on and he had more personal responsibilities to take care of.
As he approached his final years of Hogwarts (and also the age of adulthood in the Wizarding world) his father had decided to complete his son’s training by introducing him to the true Dark forces behind their lifestyle. Needless to say, Teddy had to choose between letting his own colors be seen and keeping his sister safe, or pleasing his family and letting that fire within him go out. It was a struggle that he quietly went through, not involving his friends, classmates, or sister. He entertained his father's wishes, knowing that once he finished school he could make his own choice, but for now he was strapped to the family name.
Thanks to his father, he had a vague idea of what was going to go down at the castle the end of his sixth year. Teddy made sure he and his sister left with the first wave of students. His father wished his son stay behind and fight, but Teddy wanted no part in the battle. He knew there would be repercussions afterward, though what he wasn't expecting was his father to get arrested and taken to prison for his involvement. It left Teddy confused and angered. While he always wanted to separate himself from his father's wishes, he wanted to do it on his own terms, not because Lucius Malfoy was a traitor only concerned about his own freedom. Teddy spend the following summer debating what he was going to about the family – it was just him and Lysandra now.
