[Name:] Cormac McLaggen
[Nicknames:] Cor, Mac, Mick, Mickey (but the last bit will get you hexed)
[Gender:] Male
[Blood:] Full Blood
[Age:] 23
[Date of Birth:] August 1, 1980
[Chinese Zodiac:] Year of the Sheep
[Tarot:]
[Strengths:] He's loyal. Loyal to his mates, and loyal to his team. He will stand up for any teammate, at any time, unless of course he feels that he has been wronged by them in some way. And because he is so will to defend his friends and teammates, it can exhibit some oh his negative traits as well.

He's had to overcome a hot temper and bullying sense righteousness. He had to learn a very tough lesson, how to accept defeat gracefully, something he was not able to do as a younger man. It was a reputation he had to get rid of as well, knowing that he'd be playing professionally against some of his former team and housemates.
[Weaknesses:] Cormac is very much a Leo, as is fitting of his former house. However, where Gryffindors are so often seen as courageous and brave, the other sides of those coins are arrogance and foolhardiness. And sometimes the line is blurred and it's hard to see the difference. Cormac can't even SEE the line, let alone know that he dances on the precipice far too often. He barrels in like a freight train and when it falls apart refuses to accept that it was his actions that caused the problem in the first place. He's a shoot first ask questions later kind of guy.

His arrogance and lack of accepting responsibility are direct results of low self esteem. As is his inherent need to constantly be surrounded by the rich and famous and glamorous. He constantly feels that he needs to prove he is the best and brightest of them (or at least the best Keeper) to make sure that he is not a total and complete failure.
[Sun Sign:] Leo: This is a natural sign for Gryffindors, not least because the griffin is part lion. Gryffindors born under this sign are outgoing, friendly, affectionate, and likeable. They make friends easily and are crushed when their advances are rejected. Their romantic, chivalrous nature makes them perfect examples of all that is best in their House. However, they are also bossy, domineering, spendthrift, and overly dramatic (ever heard the phrase "drama queen?") They have sharp tempers and need to learn to direct their anger toward only needful causes. The natural creativity and flamboyance of Leo makes Gryffindors born under this sign good at most everything they attempt, provided they apply themselves to learning magic rather than using magic to hog the limelight.

[Height:] 1.85 meters. Or 6'1" by American standards..
[Weight:] 14 stone (about 195 pounds).
[Hair:] Dark Blond.
[Eyes:] Green
[Build:] Solid muscle from head to toe. Toned and rock hard..
[Defining Marks:] Freckles. He has lots of freckles. And his lidded eyes. Also known as "bedroom eyes"
[Complexion:] Very pale. He can tan if he puts the effort into it, but it usually just tends to bring out his freckles, especially the ones that pepper his cheeks and nose.
[Dress Style:] Casual chic. He makes looking like you just rolled out of bed look GOOD.

[Right/Left/Ambidextrous:] Ambidextrous. He usually eats right handed, and writes left handed. But being ambidextrous makes being a Keeper that much easier.
[Eyesight:] Not as good as you'd think. He wears glasses, but only at home usually. And he's even seen a muggle eye doctor to get those "contact lens" thingies.
[Hearing:] Really good. More often than not he can hear the swishing of things flying near him, which helps in his Keeper duties.
[Sense of Smell:] Average. Like most men, loves the smell of women, booze ad food. Everything else is so not important.
[Disabilities and/or Handicaps:] Overbearing ego perhaps. A bit of a drinker, and he's almost a sex addict I'd say.
[Health:] Fantastic. He works hard at keeping fit and even when hung over he exercises and eats right, taking potions to make his hangovers go away..
[Mental Health:] Average. He's got his issues, don't get me wrong, but he's not unstable by any means.
[Extrovert/Introvert:] Extrovert = FLIRT
[Phobias/Fears:] Cormac's biggest fear is not being liked or loved. And he goes out of his way to make sure that people adore him, men and women alike..

[Quirks and/or Habits:] Has a habit of talking very fast and getting overly animated in his gesticulating. He also has a habit of only giving half smiles, unless he is REALLY amused.
[Likes:] Women, quidditch, flying, women, liquor (both muggle and non), running, women, reading the gossip column in the Daily Prophet and women.
[Dislikes:] Brussel sprouts, unattractive people, people who can't take a joke..
[Strengths in Magic:] Potions, Transfiguration and Charms.
[Weaknesses in Magic:] History and Divination and Arithmancy
[Goals and Dreams:] To be the MOST popular Quidditch player ever, but he'd settle for Best Keeper. Also would love to fall in love. The BIG L. The REAL DEAL. But he's scared.
[First Impression:] Dashing, funny and ridiculously handsome.

[Father:] Aiden McLaggen
[Mother:] Fiona Ogden, sister of Tiberius Ogden.
[Siblings:] None.
[Grandfather:] TBD
[Grandmother:] TBD
[Friends:] TBD.

[Past Relationships:] To say that Cormac is a ladies man is a gross understatement. He beds women hard, he beds women often, and he smiles at them the next day should they cross paths. He's never had a serious relationship. He'd hardly know how to. And yet, his soul is truly just looking for unconditional love and trust. If he ever found it, he would treat his significant other like a QUEEN. No, like THE Queen.
[Significant Others:] None at the current moment.
[Pets:] A hawk named Archimedes.

[School:] Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
[House:] Gryffindor
[Years:] 1990-1997
[Quidditch:] Was temp Keeper for Ron Weasley in 7th year.
[Wand:] 14 3/8", Black Palm with a centaur's hair core. The most remarkable thing about this wood is that its primary property is that of magic. The wood is naturally aligned with magic, and enhances magical energy. Obviously this is a good choice as a material for sacred objects.
This wood is strongly aligned to water energy. It rejects all fire-related energies, and it would also not be useful for healing. It brings about positive changes, creates opportunities, and opens spiritual pathways. Good words to associate with this wood are: feeling, changing, growing, love, and art. This wood is excellent for gaining power and knowledge from nature (which is what magic is).
[Alignment:] Would side with the Order if there was ever another war..
[Monetary Status:] Having been a famous Quidditch player for a while now, Cormac is doing remarkable well for himself. He has learned the art of youcan't take it with you, and spends his money like it were water. He's not in debt…yet. But he could end up there, what with the way he likes to gamble.
[Birth Place:] Edinburgh, Scotland.
[Location(s):] Lives in Edinburgh. Has a jolly nice flat indeed. Well, it's a house really and not too far from his parents.
