Personality
General Attitude: (1 paragraph minimum) He is obsessed to kill Harry and he also acts like the most powerfull wizard from the planet.Voldemort is highly ruthless and sadistic, even to his own henchmen who serve him out of a mixture of fear and respect. Rowling described him as "the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years" She elaborated that he is a "raging psychopath, devoid of the normal human responses to other people's suffering" who is able to attract cowardly but cruel minions, like "Wormtail, who out of cowardice will stand in the shadow of the strongest person."What seems to drive him is his megalomaniacal sense of entitlement. He believes he is superior and will frequently refer to himself in the third-person as "Lord Voldemort." Rowling alluded to this saying that Voldemort is "incredibly power hungry. Racist, really", and holds human life in utter disregard. Rowling has also stated that if Voldemort looked into the Mirror of Erised (the mirror that reflects a person's greatest wish), he would see "Himself, all-powerful and eternal. That's what he wants."
J.K. Rowling also stated that the fact that Voldemort was conceived under a love potion is related to his inability to understand love; it is "a symbolic way of showing that he came from a loveless union – but of course, everything would have changed if Merope had survived and raised him herself and loved him. The enchantment under which Tom Riddle fathered Voldemort is important because it shows coercion, and there can’t be many more prejudicial ways to enter the world than as the result of such a union".
He suffers from a pathological fear of death, which he regards as a shameful and ignominious human weakness. According to Rowling, his Boggart would be his own corpse.Rowling also said that the difference between Harry and Voldemort is that Harry accepts mortality, and thus Harry is in the end stronger than his nemesis: "he real master of Death someone like Harry accepts that he must die, and that there are much worse things in the world of the living."
Goals: (1 paragraph minimum )
Voldemort shows great charisma, inspiring many influential wizards and witches such as Lucius Malfoy and Augustus Rookwood to follow him. He is also gifted with a great intellect and great arrogance. He also possesses a dry cynical sense of humour, usually laughing at others but also able to laugh at himself, despite his usuallly narcissistic demeanour. He wants to Kill Harry and to have a lot of followers
Likes: (1 paragraph minimum ) He likes to torture/kill mugles. He likes seeing Bella being soft with him, he likes the things he wanted or wants to be in few words the opposite of dislikes Dislikes: (1 paragraph minimum ) We all know that Voldemort dislikes Harry, to be defeated in a duel of to fail something. He hates to recognize that he isn't perfect. He dislikes when any of his Death Eaters especially Bella, when they don't want to obey him Abilities: (1 paragraph minimum ) Of course we know that he is known as one of the greatest Legilimens in the world and a highly accomplished Occlumens, and is thus able to read minds as well as shield his own from penetration. However, in the seventh book, he loses control, allowing Harry to see occasionally through his eyes and hear his thoughts. Voldemort can fly without support, defying the law of magic that states only objects can fly through use of a flying charm. Voldemort can speak Parseltongue too Bad Habits: (1 paragraph minimum ) I don't know what to write anymore...I think that I was pretty clear up Fears: (1 paragraph minimum ) He has only a fear: Death **No list formats for the precious section please**

History: (Tell us what happened before your current year. Which may be also wise to include some history of your character when younger. 3 paragraphs minimum) First three books Lord Voldemort on the back of Professor Quirrell's head in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's StoneLord Voldemort makes his debut in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In this story, Rowling introduces him as the Dark Lord who has murdered the parents of protagonist Harry Potter, and later unsuccessfully tries to regain his dissolved body by stealing the eponymous Philosopher's Stone. While writing the book, Rowling established that Harry Potter's parents have been killed by the powerful Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort; but for some reason, baby Harry survives when Voldemort tries to murder him with a Killing Curse. Voldemort is disembodied and Harry since then carries a mysterious scar on his forehead as a result. According to a 1999 interview with The Diane Rehm Show, fleshing out Voldemort's backstory was a case of backwards planning: she decided that the parents of Harry Potter had been killed by a supremely powerful and evil wizard, and that wizard became Voldemort.
In the second installment, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Rowling introduces the character of Tom Marvolo Riddle, a manifestation of Voldemort that resides inside a magical diary found by Ginny Weasley. In this book, Ginny is written as a shy girl with a crush on Harry Potter. Feeling anxious and lonely, she begins to write into the diary and shares her deepest fears with the sympathetic Tom. However, at the climax of the story, it is revealed that Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of "I am Lord Voldemort", and Tom is indeed the magical manifestation of the Dark Lord himself. Riddle states he has grown strong on her fears and eventually possessed Ginny. He then used her as a pawn to unlock the Chamber of Secrets, from where a basilisk was set free which petrified several Hogwarts students. Harry defeats both the Riddle from the diary and the basilisk. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore reveals to Harry that the diary was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes (an external vessel which contains a part of his torn soul).
In the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Voldemort does not make an appearance, either in person or in the form of a magical manifestation. He is, however, heard when Harry passes out from the effects of a Dementor. The Divination professor, Sybill Trelawney, makes a genuine prophecy: The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these 12 years. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever before. Tonight... before midnight... the servant... will set out... to rejoin... his master.... Towards the end of the book, the servant is revealed to be Peter Pettigrew, who, since the fall of Lord Voldemort, has been disguised as Ron Weasley's pet rat, Scabbers.
Fourth, fifth and sixth books A corporeal Lord Voldemort returns to power.In the fourth instalment of the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort appears at the climax of the book. Rowling lets many seemingly unrelated plot elements fall into order. It is revealed that Voldemort's minion Barty Crouch Jr, disguised as Hogwarts professor Mad-Eye Moody, has manipulated the events of the Triwizard Tournament. Voldemort's goal is to teleport reluctant participant Harry Potter to the Little Hangleton graveyard, where the Riddle family are buried. Harry is captured and, after Death Eater Peter Pettigrew uses Harry's blood (which would prove to be a major flaw) to fulfil a gruesome magical ritual, Voldemort regains his body and is restored to his full power.For the first time in the series, Rowling describes his appearance: "tall and skeletally thin", with a face "whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was as flat as a snake’s with slits for nostrils". Rowling writes that his "hands were like large, pale spiders; his long white fingers caressed his own chest, his arms, his face; the red eyes, whose pupils were slits, like a cat's, gleamed still more brightly through the darkness".[16] It was revealed that, while in Albania, Pettigrew had captured the Ministry of Magic official Bertha Jorkins, who was tortured for information about the Ministry. After they learned that Barty Crouch Jr, a faithful Death Eater, had been smuggled out of Azkaban and was privately confined at his father's house, they killed her. With Pettigrew's help, Voldemort created a small, rudimentary body, corporeal enough to travel and perform magic, and formulated a plan to restore his own body by capturing Harry. A portion of the plan had been overheard by Frank Bryce, a gardener, whom Voldemort then killed. Voldemort then completes his plan and returns to life in his full body as a result of the ritual with Harry's blood. He then summons his Death Eaters to the graveyard to witness the death of Harry Potter as he challenges Harry to a duel. However, When Voldemort duels Harry, their wands become magically locked together due to the twin Phoenix feather cores of the wands. Due to a phenomenon later revealed as Priori Incantatem, ghost-like manifestations of Voldemort's most recent victims (including Harry's parents) then appear and distract Voldemort, allowing Harry just enough time to escape via portkey with the body of fellow-student, Cedric Diggory, who was murdered by Peter Pettigrew on Voldemort's orders.
In the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort appears at the climax, having again carefully plotted against Harry. In this book, Harry Potter goes through extreme emotional stress, and according to Rowling, it was necessary to prove that Harry is emotionally vulnerable and thus human, in contrast to his nemesis Voldemort, who is emotionally invulnerable and thus inhuman: "[Harry is] a very human hero, and this is, obviously, there’s a contrast, between him, as a very human hero, and Voldemort, who has deliberately dehumanised himself. […a]nd Harry, therefore, did have to reach a point where he did almost break down, and say he didn’t want to play anymore, he didn’t want to be the hero anymore – and he’d lost too much. And he didn’t want to lose anything else. So that – Phoenix was the point at which I decided he would have his breakdown." In this book, Voldemort makes liberal use of the Ministry of Magic's refusal to believe that he has returned. Voldemort engineers a plot to free the Death Eaters from Azkaban and then embarks on a scheme to retrieve the full record of a prophecy regarding Harry and himself which is stored in the Department of Mysteries. He sends a group of Death Eaters to retrieve the prophecy, where they are met by the Order of the Phoenix. All but one, Bellatrix Lestrange, are captured, and Voldemort engages in a ferocious duel with Dumbledore. Voldemort attempts to possess Harry Potter but finds that he cannot; Harry is too full of that which Voldemort finds detestable: love. Sensing that Dumbledore could win, Voldemort disapparates, but not before the Minister of Magic sees him in person, making his return to life public knowledge.
The boy Tom Riddle, as illustrated by Mary GrandPre .In the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort once again declares war, and begins to rise to power once more. He murders Amelia Bones of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and begins to target members of the Order of the Phoenix, including Emmeline Vance. Rowling uses several chapters as exposition to establish Voldemort's backstory. In a series of flashbacks, using the pensieve as a plot device, she reveals that Voldemort is the son of the witch Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle, Sr. However, Riddle leaves Merope before their child's birth, soon after which Merope dies. Riddle never comes to find his son. After living in an orphanage, young Tom is picked up by Albus Dumbledore, who takes him to Hogwarts. Riddle is outwardly a model pupil, but is in reality a sadist who enjoys using his powers to harm and control people. He eventually murders his father and grandparents for abandoning him. The book also discusses Riddle's hatred of "Muggles" (non-magical humans), his obsession with Horcruxes, and his desire to split his soul in order to achieve immortality. J.K. Rowling stated that the fact that Voldemort was conceived under a love potion has to do with his non-ability to understand love is "a symbolic way of showing that he came from a loveless union – but of course, everything would have changed if Merope had survived and raised him herself and loved him. The enchantment under which Tom Riddle fathered Voldemort is important because it shows coercion, and there can’t be many more prejudicial ways to enter the world than as the result of such a union".
In the main plot of the book, Voldemort's next step is to engineer an assault on Hogwarts, and to attack Dumbledore himself. This is accomplished by Draco Malfoy, who arranges transportation into Hogwarts by means of a pair of Vanishing Cabinets, which bypass the extensive protective enchantments placed around the school. The cabinets allow Voldemort's Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts, where a battle commences and Dumbledore is cornered. Hogwarts professor (and double agent) Severus Snape uses the Killing Curse against Dumbledore when Malfoy is unable to do so himself.
Final book Further information: Deathly Hallows (objects) In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book of the Harry Potter series, Voldemort furthers his quest for ultimate power. He disposes of the Minister for Magic and replaces him with his own puppet ruler, giving him control of the Wizarding World. Establishing a totalitarian police state, he has Muggle-borns persecuted and arrested for "stealing magic" from the 'pure blood' wizards. After failing to kill Harry with Lucius Malfoy's borrowed wand (to avoid the effect of Priori Incantatem), he goes on a murderous search for the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand ever created, seeing it as the weapon he needs to overcome Harry's and make him truly invulnerable. He goes on a quest that takes him out of the country to Gregorovitch's wand shop, where he kills the old wandmaker. His journey also takes him to Nurmengard, the prison where Grindelwald is kept. He ends up killing Grindelwald as well. After finally locating it and stealing it from Dumbledore's tomb, he then finds out that Harry and his friends are stealing his Horcruxes. After offering the occupants of the castle mercy if they give up Harry, he assembles a large army and launches an invasion on Hogwarts, where Harry is searching for Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem, one of the Horcruxes. He murders Snape believing it would make him the true master of the Elder Wand, since Snape killed Dumbledore. He then calls an hour armistice, in exchange for Harry Potter. When Harry willingly walks into Voldemort's camp in the forest, Voldemort strikes him down with the Elder Wand. However, the use of Harry's blood to resurrect Voldemort's body proves to be a major setback: while Harry's blood runs in Voldemort's veins, Harry cannot be killed. Instead, the part of Voldemort's soul that resides in Harry's body is destroyed by Voldemort himself. Voldemort forces Hagrid to carry the lifeless body of Harry back to the castle as a trophy, sparking another battle. In the battle, Voldemort overpowers Minerva McGonagall, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Horace Slughorn. Harry then reveals himself and explains to Voldemort that Draco became the true master of the Elder Wand when he disarmed Dumbledore; Harry, in turn, won the wand's allegiance when he took Draco's wand. Refusing to believe this, Voldemort casts the Killing Curse with the Elder Wand while Harry uses a Disarming Charm with Draco's, but the Elder Wand refuses to kill its master and the spell rebounds, killing Voldemort instead.
J.K Rowling stated that after his death, Voldemort is forced to exist in the stunted form that Harry sees in the King's Cross-like Limbo after his confrontation with Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest.
Sample RP: (3 paragraph minimum.) from another site Valerie received a lot of homework and a lot of books to read from her teachers. She had to resist more longer, at least the winter brake is closer and closer. After she took the lunch she went in the library to provide her brain with useful informations and to make her homework at Herbology. It was a nasty business to make your homework at Herbology. It was to difficult, she really needed some help.
When she arrived there was full. Valerie looked for a free space long time, nearly an hour. She took the needed books and she started to write an essay about the plants. She had an awfully day and she was tired.So she started to write: ash is used to make brooms;belladonna is a mundane plant with magical uses, and she continued like this five hours when she finely wrote about the last and final plant yew-a species of tree that qualifies as a "wand tree", in that its wood can be used in the making of wands. Yew trees are symbolic of death and resurrection - the wood is particularly resistant to rotting - and were once a traditional feature of churchyards.
She finely finished when she fall asleep. She was dreaming: "Yew is..is...is a..wood...a wood..used...used...to..". She was exhausted, and she was talking while she was asleep, an astonish thing, because she didn't do this thing before. Only that it was 9:00 pm and the library was closed. It was clearly the librarian had forgotten that Valerie was still there...sleeping.
But the sweet dream of Valerie turned now into an evil dream. She took a book of herbology, which contains all the plants from the world. She was extremely happy that she found this book. It was the item she needed the most, this could help her to pass the herbology exam at the end of the semester. But when Valerie opened it she unleashed a great horror, some dead bodies came out from the book and tried to eat the librarian and they wanted to kill Valerie. But also mean house-elves came out and they wanted to destroy Valerie's homework.
No the yew turned into a horrible wan which cursed everyone from the library. This things were happening in her dream, the she woke up. She was all wet of sweeting and she looked in her round. She panicked when she saw that she was alone in the library but after a few minutes her spirit calmed down. She put all her things: the ink, quills, notebooks, book excepting that horrible book. Valerie took it and she went at the place she took it from.
When she returned to take her school bag, she found out that nothing was there. everything had gone. At least she had her wand at her so she took her wand in her left hand because she was left-handed and then she walked threw the books from the library with her wand pointed always in her front in the most darkest point possible. She was desperate in that moment because she spent a lot of time at that homework and she really didn't want to do it again.
She was really nervous. It means that she wasn't alone in the library. Someone else was there and noted that she was there too. And for the bad luck of Valerie she hear someone laughing behind her. When she turned round she didn't see anyone there. "Who's there? she asked very calm because she didn't want to be seen that she was really nervous
