[Hexed private to Lord Slytherin]
So, I must ask, m'lord a personal question of you. In my time I am your last surviving heir. The hat that sorts us told me of it. I was raised in a muggle orphanage after my mother passed not long after childbirth. There is a book about the founding of the school and the lives of the founders. There is only one Slytherin mentioned in the book. Hadyn Slytherin. Am I also the last of Hufflepuff blood?

THE CHARACTER
FULL NAME: Tom Marvolo Riddle
BIRTHDAY: Dec. 31, 1926
BLOOD STATUS: Halfblood
HOUSE: Slytherin…heir
PLACE OF BIRTH:
OCCUPATION: Ministry of Magic Undersecretary
BOGGART:
WAND: Left, 13 1/2" Yew with Phoenix feather core
NAME MEANING:
SURNAME HISTORY: descendent of Salazar Slytherin
ASTOLOGICAL SIGN: Capricorn
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac and governs the bones, joints, and knees. Positive traits include pragmatism, maturity, patience, determination, awareness, a strong work ethic, realism, discipline, money management, the willingness to overcome hard luck, leadership, initiative, opportunism, prudence, and cunning. Negative traits include pessimism, melancholy, emotional coldness, manipulation, obsession with work and ambitions to the detriment of personal development, remoteness, and materialistic snobbery.
The traits emphasized here will be ambition, determination, discipline, and pragmatism. You can't make that castle in the sky if you don't build a solid foundation under it, and Capricorns excel at building foundations. (Actually, they excel at planning the foundations and directing others to do the grunt labour. It's not that they're afraid to get their hands dirty, but large work usually requires delegation and a staff, and Capricorns are managers more often than not.) While not flamboyant or showy about it, Capricorns still tend to be obsessive overachievers, a common trait in House Slytherin. Too, wizards born under the sign of Capricorn are good at being discreet, secretive, and diplomatic; whereas the Libra's diplomacy is based on charm and a desire for harmony, the Capricorn's diplomacy is based on the knowledge that being on good terms with people is extremely useful in getting one's way or finding out sensitive information. These also are traits commonly associated with House Slytherin. They might not be sexy traits, but they're very handy.
PERSONALITY:
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: heterosexual
PERSONAL GOALS: Minister of Magic, Wizarding World Domination, the purge of all of lower blood unless they prove themselves worthy.
ALLEGIANCE:
THOUGHTS ON THE WAR: Tom has been watching closely how this has sparked opinions all around him of how barbaric it is even from those that share the same beliefs of Grindlewald. It was this that cooled Tom’s emotions on the subject and made him sit back to think on his own position more. There were other ways to gain one’s ends after all.
ANCESTORAL BACKGROUND: {English, French, Scotish?}
PARENTS: Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Sr.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: horrible. His mother fed his father a love potion just to have the man give her a look let alone a second one. Once it wore off he was gone and she was with child.
SIBLINGS: none
SPOUSE: Engaged to Abigail Malfoy
FAMILY DYNAMICS: Make sure if you are apping a sibling who is already in play you look over their information and make something integratable into the family they already have writen up. They were here first and unless they change it once you talked to them that is the version of the family that will be expected.
