RELATIONSHIPS

HAVE THEY EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Only once; a relationship that started mostly physical when he was on the Central Squad, and then continued and turned into something more serious once he was transferred to the Eastern Squad. They’re still the closest of friends now.

WHO ARE THEIR CLOSEST FRIENDS? The aforementioned ex; he’s not particularly close to many other people on the Eastern Squad yet, given he’s trying to protect them from anything happening, like on the Central Squad

WHAT/WHO IN THEIR LIFE WOULD BE HARD TO LIVE WITHOUT? His parents for sure, but it feels like he’s seen so much loss that he’s learned how to live without most other things someone else might feel that way about.

DO THEY HAVE ANY PETS? No pets at the moment; he’s too obsessed with being organized and clean to let an animal live in his apartment

WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR FAMILY LIKE? He was very close to his parents before he was drafted, but since coming back, he’d not quite as close as before, maybe even partially feeling like they were responsible for letting him go off in the war. They still see each other, but not nearly as much as they used to.

LENGTH OF THEIR LONGEST ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP: A few years if counting the fuckbuddies section of the relationship

MISC

COOKING SKILLS: After living alone in the mountains for years, he’s a good cook, but mostly of survival based food, like wild game, scavenged herbs, fruits and veg, and canned goods.

FAVORITE FOODS: Anything that his mother cooks, mostly traditional Chinese recipes, especially Peking duck.

FAVORITE DRINK: Bourbon

FAVORITE PLACE: That little cabin in the mountains he lived in for the years after returning from the war; he still keeps it up and thinks maybe that’s where he’ll retire, if he makes it that long.

FAVORITE WORDS: Fuck, and that’s about the best word in his mind.

HOW THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS OFF: Even a day off isn’t really a day off; he hates feeling like he’s not using his time, and spends off days training just as hard as he does when he’s meant to anyway. Any relaxing he does is done either in a bar, or with an attractive person.

SLEEPING HABITS/POSITIONS: He doesn’t sleep well since the war; fitful, tossing and turning, often full of nightmares. When he does sleep, he’s definitely a bed hog.

MORNING ROUTINE: He’s an early riser, and the sort of person who gets up immediately and gets ready. Showers, shaves, dresses to perfection, and then takes time to have breakfast and drink coffee in a leisurely manner before heading to work. Sometimes a bit of a morning workout, if it strikes him.

FAVORITE MUSIC GENRE: Blues and jazz

FAVORITE MOVIE/BOOK GENRE: Fantasy and sci-fi

FAMILY: Father / Emilio Molina, Mother / Monica Calvosa , Uncle / Guillermo Molina [X]

MAGIC

FAVORITE FOODS: Deserts and junk food primarily. Their favorite dish is their uncle’s enchiladas. 

FAVORITE DRINK: The cheapest thing available with the highest alcohol content. 

FAVORITE PLACE: The eastern squad’s offices. They may complain about it all the time, but it feels like their home now. 

FAVORITE WORDS: “Babe” “Fucking shit fuck” 

HOW THEY SPEND THEIR DAYS OFF: Out with friends if possible, or trying to find some kind of trouble to get themselves in. 

SLEEPING HABITS/POSITIONS: Sprawled out on their back usually, but when it gets closer to the full moon they tend to curl up more, much like a dog would.

Rumors Game

If you would like to participate in the rumors game, you will need to comment on this post with which of your characters are participating. Once you’ve done so, other players are then free to send in any rumors or questions they have on their mind, and your character must answer them as honestly as they’re able to.

Have fun!!

[theaurorfileshq]

Hello, everyone! As we await opening day, I encourage you all to begin plotting with each other, start looking into cases, and build up more of your character’s backstory. Remember, most of these characters have been working alongside each other for some time, which means they should have some kind of relationship with each other- either good, bad, or neutral. To help in that process I have set up an ask meme that you are all welcome to use. To sweeten the pot, there will be some point advantages. You get five points just for reblogging the meme, then an additional five points for every meme you answer.

Have fun!

AUROR TASK: PERSONAL ITEMS

It’s been a minute since we had a proper Auror Task, so here’s one for those of you that’d like to participate. In either a picture set, or headcanon description, I’d like you to consider your character’s personal items. These items could be the cassette they keep in their telekit, their trusty coffee mug, trinkets they have on their desks, or favorite items of their’s. It’s entirely up to your interpretation!

Each auror will receive 20 points for posting a headcanon or picture set of their personal items.

CAULDRON OF KEYS

As the evening begins to draw closer to its end, a black cauldron suddenly appears in the estate’s main foyer, separating the east and west wing. A small house elf sits beside it at a table, a sheet in front of him, and a pegboard of room keys behind him. 

It is now time to sign up for the Cauldron of Keys! If your character is interested in participating in this game please send me their name. Reminder, pairs are chosen at random, so you won’t have any control over which auror your character will be partnered with for the night. 

The game works as follows, at least half the aurors signed up for a room, and dropped a key to it in the black cauldron. The other aurors will then pick a key at random from the cauldron at the end of the night. Whoever ends up in the same room, are suggested to spend the evening together in any way that feels appropriate. The small house elf assigned to the task of running the game, will remind each auror that signs up that breakfast will be provided to the rooms in the morning, but they must vacate the property by 11am. 

Once I receive all the names, I will then by random pair up aurors. Once that’s completed I’ll send private messages to each blog, informing you of your partner.

The Auror Files’ Two Month Anniversary Game!!

Hello, everyone! Today marks our two month anniversary, and to celebrate that milestone we’ve put together a game that’ll both help earn you some points, as well as learn a bit more about some of the great characters we have around here!

The name of the game is Auror Files Bingo [this link] will take you to the bingo board you’ll each be using. Instead of a standard bingo board, this one is full of different auror character traits. Your task is to hunt down aurors who fill these traits and try to either fill out a row, column, diagonal, or all three! How you hunt down these aurors is entirely up to you, you can search through posted bios on our page [here], track down aurors’ character studies, or even ask the player themself!

You will have until Monday to turn in your bingo card. You can only turn in your bingo card once though, so if you’d like to pick up points for multiple bingos, then wait until you’ve gotten them and then turn it in. The limit on bingos is 4, and you will receive 15 points for every bingo you pick up. You can only use the same name twice in one bingo row/column/diagonal, but you are allowed to use your own character. When you do send in your finished card you must attach with it a list of where you received your information from, again such as a link to a bio, or the player themself. 

As always if you have any questions please feel free to send them in. 

Happy Hunting!!
