History

Brief History of Character:


Cormac was born to purebood English wizard Marc McLaggen and French witch Cher. He's their only child and the heir to the McLaggen name, so they doted upon their son from the moment he was born. His mother threw him in etiquette, piano, and dancing lessons from the moment he could walk and talk while his father tried to nurture the business and masculine side of his only son by teaching him to fly before he entered Hogwarts, taking him to games, and taking him to the occasion bar. His parents taught him to follow Grindelwald blindly as a purebood and that muggles were below them. But not below them enough to harm them. They simply weren't worth the effort of associating with. His father hated the Class of the Chrysanthemum, but actually going against them was not something he was interested in.

Cormac went to Hogwarts in 1990 as expected, excelling in flying, charms, and transfiguration, but failing to keep top marks in Dark Arts and herbology. He never exactly failed however, getting nothing below an E in his OWLs. He played on the Gryffindor House team as Seeker for his last three years of school, having never been able to make the team before then. When he was fourteen, and his father deemed him old enough, his father began to take him to brothels around London where he was "taught" how to "please" a women. To the McLaggens "no" was not a word you heard from a woman, yet if they said it, it was supposed to mean that they were not interested in men and therefore simply not worth the McLaggens' interest or time.

Once he graduated, he immediately tried out for the Falmouth Falcons, and he failed to make the team and blamed it childishly on everyone else. Upon receiving the news that he did not make the team, he got a job in the Department of Magical Games and Sports at the Ministry of Magic. Slowly he is working his way up the cooperate ladder by carefully playing people to his benefit and knowing just how to act for them to think whatever he wanted and got was actually for their personal best interest. The McLaggens never shunned their son and are helping him stay on top by putting him up in a lavish three bedroom flat in London not far from Diagon Alley. Cormac spends his days between his job and working on becoming the next Head of the Department and spending his nights with all the women he could get, drinking in excess, and even going to the brothels from time to time when he doesn't have time for the "wining and dining".

On his birthday in 2001, he spoke to his best friend Katie Bell about their future. Both were in a position that they saw no real option to get married. Katie had her rights taken away while Cormac just lived in the shadow of his parents' traditions. After Katie took a vacation to France, she came back with her mind set on agreeing to the marriage. They both agreed for it to be a sham marriage built on friendship and arrangement rather than love and accept that. However, they agreed to trick his parents into believing that it was real to both safe face for Cormac and to keep Katie from being treated poorly. Everyone else, within reason, they were going to tell the truth about their marriage and arrangement to rather than lie.

Background

Education: Seven years of Hogwarts
Occupation: Undersecretary in the Department of Magical Games and Sports
Home: large three bedroom flat in London (Thanks to Mummy and Daddy, but he won't admit that to anyone)

Academics and Career

Excellent/Good/Mediocre/Poor Student?: Good.
Good at Job?: Yes.
Does character's performance accurately reflects their intelligence?: Yes.
Magically, most talented in: Charms

Appearance

Weight: Around 180lbs which he claims is all "muscle and tone"
Height: 5'8"
Eyes: blue
Hair: dark blonde
Build: Toned and slightly muscled
Defining Marks: None.
Dress Style: He loves to don regular robes, and wouldn't be caught down in muggle attire unless someone paid him a great deal of money and/or promised him he'd get something he wants after he does (probably would make them sign in blood or something so they don't back out). But he is often seen in Quidditch robes just because he can.
Possession always on person: and, a golden snitch he caught during the last game of his last year at Hogwarts when he successfully won the Hogwarts Quidditch cup for Gryffindor (he likes to think it was single-handedly)
Manner of Speech: Slow, flirty to women, arrogant like everyone hangs on his every word.
Manner of Movement: Long, purposeful strides that could be considered a "swagger" if someone wanted to put a name to it.

Health

Eyesight: 20/20
Hearing: Perfect, but he does only answer to what he wants
Left/Right/Ambidextrous: Right
Disabilities/Handicaps: His arrogance? I mean none.
Overall physical health: Cormac is in top physical health. He's still trying to get on a pro Quidditch teams and takes excellent care of himself and prides himself on no one ever seeing less than perfect when they look at him or seeing him when he's not at his best.

Psychology

IQ: High, but no genius
Extrovert/Introvert: Extrovert
Phobias/Fears: failure, dying, being broke, being a nobody, going unnoticed, not getting what he wants, being alone (and not in the emotional sense)
Overall mental health: He might have a hair of the narcissism disorder, but really, he's sane.

Personality

Goals/Dreams: to become Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports while simultaneously being Captain of the Falmouth Falcons
Likes: himself, Quidditch, women, money, power, clout, being the winner, sex
Dislikes: anyone but himself, being broke, loosing/failing, having to answer to anyone else
First Impression: Cormac is a man with arrogance and swagger he doesn't hide. If you're a man, you probably take notice in his confidence - even when he's in no real place to be confident, but if you're a woman you will notice the flirting charm he displays each time he can. Well, that's if you're a pretty lady. If you're not a pretty lady, you might only get to see his back as he walks away from you as a first impression.

Romantic

Ever had sex?: Yes.
Sexual Preference: Woman
Turn Ons: women. Beautiful women. Beautiful women who know when not to talk. Beautiful women who know when to lavish compliments on him. Beautiful women who know how to kiss and are not teases. Beautiful women who want him.
Turn Offs: men. Ugly women. Women who talk too much (and not enough about him). Women who don't know how to kiss. Women who are merely teases.
Past Relationships: He's a one-night stand type of guy.

Morality

Ever been drunk?: Yes.
Lied to a significant other?: Never had whom he'd consider a significant other.
Cheated on a significant other?: Ditto above.
