1) Mun's name: Mae4an, Maeyan, Jen, Momoko, Heromaniac, heromaniacz-at-gmail-dot-com

2) Character name/fandom: Jack Knight/Starman DC Comics

3) Role: Student, 6th year, Hufflepuff House
role in the student body? The itchy sole (he isn't in any clubs, unless there's one about collecting old stuff, and then he is SO there. Unless he's off, you know, collecting old stuff.)

4) Any relevant backstory details, including how you plan to merge pup's canon with HP canon:
Okay. Jack's dad is Ted Knight, owner and proprietor of Knight's Sticks, a fairly well-to-do wand shop. Which makes it very amusing that Jack has no wand; he was chosen by a wizarding staff. Second hand, at that. Both the staff and Jack's magic work best in starlight, or after a night resting in starlight. Also, his staff lets him fly without a broomstick, which makes up for the embarrassment of not having a wand like all the other kids.

Jack's dad and Dinah's mom canonically had a relationship and stayed close friends after it ended; we are bringing that in-game, with Dinah and Jack growing up together, having a close 'cousin' relationship as a result. Dinah is around the same age as Jack's older brother, David (who is off studying at their dad's cousin's academy in the US or something)

In canon, Jack's dad was a wealthy playboy who was also a brilliant scientist. He invented a tool called a Gravity Rod that absorbed the energy of the stars. He then used that to become the DC Golden Age 'Starman' and fight crime. As one does. His oldest son David was killed shortly after taking over the mantle, and Jack stepped up next. Reluctantly at first, since he was already doing what he loved: being an antiques/junk dealer.

In game, Jack's dad was a wealthy playboy who was also a brilliant wizard. From the house of Gryffindor, he excelled at Astronomy, Charms, and Crafting, eventually making himself a new wand. After graduating, he opened his own shop, focusing on wand-making so Jack grew up surrounded by magic and wands and witches and wizards and books and and and...!! While he idolized his dad for being so important and talented, he is now a normal teenage boy who thinks his dad is just old and boring and doesn't 'get it'.

Jack is an avid collector of old or odd things, Muggle and magic. Some come in handy occasionally, some may be charmed, but most he just shelves and looks at. Not sure what he wants to do, he is definite that he doesn't want to work in his dad's shop and took his O.W.L.s in Muggle Studies, History of Magic, and Flying. Yes, Flying.
