"I never knew all the odd stuff I could do was magic till I got the letter from Hogwarts. My dad's a milkman, he couldn't believe it either." ~ Colin Creevey

The Basics + Jasper's Info

Character Name: Colin Benjamin Creevey
PB: Ryan Curry

Age: 19
Birthday: December 4, 1980
Wand: Elder Wood; Griffin's Talon; 11 in.
House in School: Gryffindor
Bloodline: Muggleborn

Political View: Being a muggleborn, it would be unreasonable for Colin to root for Voldemort, now wouldn't it? Once he attended Hogwarts, he eventually learned of the prejudices that existed in the wizarding world. He strongly believes it is wrong to judge other witches and wizards upon blood status.

Jasper
(( Colin's Dog ))
Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years.
Given to Dennis on his thirteenth birthday, this dog grew to be an obedient, loyal, and well-behaved companion. He was loved by the whole family, but he was closest to Dennis. Colin was his second favorite human. After Dennis was killed, Jasper became much more timid without his original master. When Colin moved out, he decided to take Jasper with him and is usually seen with him. Jasper has a small collection of bandanas, but Colin's favorite is the red and yellow one to represent his former House.

Appearance

Height: 5'9.5"
Weight: 141 lbs.
Eyes: Brown, with flecks of amber in the irises.
Hair: Mousy Brown
Build: Colin's a tad lanky, but he's more on the slender side. Thanks to a growth spurt, the boy grew up to a decent height, from scrawny to his current build. He's barely even toned, but he isn't skinny to the point of being "skin and bones" (quite far from that, actually).
Dress Style:
Casual, but not dull. He has a fondness of wearing nice jeans, graphic t-shirts, or other nice tops, along with converse sneakers. He only dresses professionally on special occassions.
Defining Marks: Fair complexion, expressive brown eyes, casually groomed hair, nimble fingers, and a sunshine of a smile (not like Lockhart's, mind you). He doesn't exactly have special distinctive features, but someone who knows him well may easily spot him in a crowd.

Personality

Carefree and with a positive outlook on life, it seems that nothing can bring Colin Creevey down. Even when his hopes are crushed, he keeps on going, being the ambitious individual that he is. He is versatile and open-minded, possessing a thirst to broaden his horizon. Colin has always been fascinated with the unknown, and he is open to new perceptions of thought. Passionate and faithful, he is a strong believer in both his ideals and those who are close to him.

If one could tolerate his happy-go-lucky ways, then he'll make a great companion. Colin is honest (or at least he tries to be), generous and sincere, and he's always willing to lend a helping hand. A reason for this would be the satisfaction he feels of being noticed and needed. Some people find his jovial demeanor annoying, and wouldn't think Colin would be the right person to seek comfort from. They fail to realize that he has matured over the years, especially during the war and after his brother's death. Being blindly optimistic creates the impression of him being devoid of understanding, along with turning himself into a hypocrite.

However, like everyone else, he had moments of frustration and despair, and even the feeling of giving up. He has been upset with people, but Colin will most likely bottle it up and brush it off. It would be quite the surprise to see him burst out in anger. All in all, Colin's a fun loving guy. His sense of humor may be sarcastic, though without the intention of offending whomever he's talking to. He loves to cheer people up, and will continued to keep the smiling mask on -- even when his own day has gone through a storm. When it comes to relationships, he isn't the classically romantic type with the candlelight dinners at fancy restaurants.

Colin is rather unorganized and a bit impatient with projects. With Dennis gone, the young man has gotten a little lost and disillusioned. Sometimes he has difficulty focusing on one thing at a time, underestimating his level of versatility. His thirst for doing new things may never be quenched, and sometimes he skims over wordy, important details.

Psychology

Extrovert/Introvert: Extrovert. Colin's an energetic and outspoken individual, and he is comfortable in crowds. One could see that he's not exactly the timid one when he'd go right up to his idol, Harry Potter, and take pictures of him without his consent. Yes, he was quite the little bugger back then.
Boggart Would Be: At first, his boggart was Harry Potter being seriously upset with him. Colin is a great admirer of the Boy Who Lived, along with the self proclamation of being his number one fan. To be turned down by one of his admired idols would be heart breaking. His boggart is now the image of his younger brother in agony, in a painful and dying state. Even though he appears to have moved on, such images would return to him. Dennis was not only his brother, but his best friend.
Patronus Would Be: A young stallion -- stamina, endurance and free-spiritedness. Horses symbolize love, faith, and loyalty, as well as continuing to strive under hope-shattering circumstances.

Sexuality

Despite not having much of a big dating experience, Colin is positively straight. He has found attraction for only women, and he has had those fantasizing moments. The Gryffindor has had crushes back in Hogwarts, whether they be as old or older than him, but he was usually unsuccessful in finding someone to go out with. Girls would only see him as a friend, or that he was too scrawny or too bubbly for them. Some people even joked about his sexuality during his obsessing-over-Harry-Potter moments. Colin doesn't mind homosexuals at all, but he can't ever picture himself being with another guy. He has kissed a girl (an older girl) at one time, except it was merely a dare. As he grew older, he was just too busy for any relationships. However, Colin always looks on the bright side, knowing that he'll find his special someone someday.

Lifestyle

Occupation: Freelance Photogropher. He works part time at a new witches' clothing shop in Diagon Alley known as Hex Me Up!. It takes a bit of restraint to keep himself from taking pictures of the customers.
Residence: Baker Street, London -- he moved out not too long after his brother was killed.
Financial Status: Hm. Let's just say he's living a "La Vie Boheme" type of life. As a freelance photographer, Colin also has to buy his own materials if not provided. He isn't dirt poor, but he's struggling a bit. He lives in a small apartment with Jasper (his dog; Pembroke Welsh Corgi).

Family

( Dennis ; PB: Charles Mortimer )

Parents: Louis Edward Creevey and Stephanie Pearl Creevey
Siblings: Dennis Aaron Creevey; younger brother [deceased]

The Creeveys are a very close family, and it was rare to see Colin and Dennis engage in sibling rivalry. They have had disagreements, but it usually didn't lead to anything serious. Colin treated Dennis as his equal instead of a tagalong, and together they were ~~an annoying~~ a dynamic duo. Mr. and Mrs. Creevey were also accepting of their sons' magical gifts, and even gave Colin a camera to take pictures of his school.

History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time

Colin's first year... He was one of the smallest of the boys in his year, but his enthusiasm is much larger than himself. Upon discovering that he attended school with the famous Harry Potter, it didn't take him long to switch into fan mode. He was pretty much obsessive compulsive, taking as many pictures of Harry Potter as he could, and being completely oblivious to how annoying he was. Colin asked Harry to sign one of his photographs, but he was turned down. That didn't bring young Colin down, though. Despite the mess Harry had to go through with people beginning to distrust him, Colin remained "loyal" to his idol.

He was one of the Basilisk's victims during that year, and he has been in Petrification from November until May. Recovery took several days, and though he was overwhelmed by all that he has missed, Colin was back to his bubbly self. He was just happy that he was saved by his own idol at Hogwarts, which means so much to him. Missing about six months of school, he had to make up for the missed work over the summer and over the first month of his second year. Colin continued to be his persistent, energetic self throughout the earlier years of his attending at Hogwarts.

When third year came around, he was even more excited to have his younger brother around. Colin knew that he would possess the same magical talent as him. As "annoying" as the duo were, Harry could have at least appreciated their undying support for him during the Triwizard Tournament. Colin and his brother attempted to turn the supportive Cedric Diggory badges to "Support Harry Potter!", only to degrade them to "Potter really stinks!" It goes to show that Transfiguration wasn't exactly Colin's top subject, and Dennis still had much to learn.

And, of course, Colin and Dennis joined Dumbledore's Army with no hesitation. How could they miss an opportunity to prove their worth to Harry Potter? Both Colin and Dennis gained advanced knowledge in Defense Against the Dark Arts during the DA meetings. However, they weren't able to tag along with Harry and the few others to the Department of Mysteries, nor were they able to do much when the Death Eaters raided Hogwarts. As much as Colin wanted to participate, it would mean bringing his brother along with him. He was aware that these were Death Eaters that they would be dealing with -- his big brother instincts got the best of his judgement. This was also a sign of Colin's growth in maturing.

The Second War soon came around, and with a strong passion for justice, Colin's allegiance would remain faithful to the DA and to the Order. The days grew much busier for both Colin and Dennis as they had exams and the War to worry about. Louis and Stephanie Creevey eventually learned of the War, and it was expected of them to keep their sons from getting involved. However, not even their parents stopped the duo from engaging in battle -- it was inevitable. Just when victory was right around the corner, a Death Eater took the life of his younger brother. Colin knew that death was all around, but he never would have thought it would take Dennis away from him.

Colin had been injured in battle, of course, but what injured him most was his brother's death. He couldn't do anything to save Dennis from his fate, and as his older brother he felt it was his fault. Stephanie was extremely upset to the point of having a break down, while Louis offered all the comfort he could lend. Colin feels much emptier now than he has ever felt, but he continued to keep his strength. To be pessimistic would be like letting his brother down. Even when he's feeling down, Colin would always have a smile on his face.

Him and his brother were going to be a team: Dennis's aspiration was to be a journalist, while Colin would be his photographer and editor. He was looking forward to traveling, but with the financial situation that he's in, it doesn't seem possible at the moment. He was unsure about a backup career, so the least he could do was get as many OWLs and NEWTs as he could. He was able to take the following NEWT classes: Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Unfortunately, he didn't meet McGonagall's expectations to take Transfiguration.
