a b o u t . t h e . c h a r a c t e r ! Name: Jacob Cullen Date of Birth: October 31st (Halloween) Gender: Male Year: 5th Face Claim: Jack McBrayer
Canon or Original? Canon
Distinguishing Physical Features: Everyone always tells Jacob that his smile is his very best feature. He has a big mouth and robust, gleaming teeth and uses his smile to get his away a lot because girls like it. He also has really wonderful periwinkle blue orbs that all the girls like gazing at too. His hair is dirty flaxen gold and he takes a long time getting it just perfect in the morning before school. He’s also really tall. Even though he’s only 15, he’s already a Death Eater and since Voldemort wanted him to be able to hide his Death Mark, he has a big one on his back instead of on his arm.
Wand Type: 17 inches, willow, swishy with unicorn hair core. Patronus: Dragon Boggart: Werewolf Personality: Jacob is the most charismatic and charming person at Hogwarts. All of his professors thinks he is very wise and keen. He gets perfect scores in all of his classes except muggle studies because he distastes muggles. He studies sometimes unless there is a party of he has to lead quidditch practice for the Slytherin quidditch team. He also helps to tutor younger kids in his classes because his professors asked him to, but he tells all the Gryffindors the wrong answers to the homework. His parents always give him extra spending funds if he does good in his classes. Jacob loves girls and they love him. He has had 9 girlfriends and aside from that, he has had a lot of sex already. Guys are always asking him for advice and he’s very popular. Jacob always walks with a sense of purpose and everyone knows to stay out of his way. He has a silver tongue and can lash out with biting remarks that makes others cry, but he doesn’t care. He likes tricking girls and is very clever, so he can talk them into sleeping with them and then the next day he pretends he doesn’t know them and breaks their hearts.
Jacob is very fierce. He is passionate and opinionated and likes to battle both verbally and nonverbally. More often than not, his opponent ends up embarrassed and ashamed, leaving them unable to look anyone in the eye for a month, and then Jacob sleeps with their girlfriend. His presence demands attention and to be obeyed. When he is angry, he always leave the room in a wisp of black smoke, so people know that they are on his kill list.

History: Rupert Cullen and Casseopiea Black were betrothed at a young age. She was 7 years older than he was but he had become unweddable when he fathered a bastard son, so she decided to show the poor young lad some mercy and help him out in the world of high society where people were very dog-eat-dog. They weren’t particularly fond of each other at first; in fact, they rather hated each other. When Rupert moved in to Casseopiea’s estate after their grand marriage just outside of London, he was just 20 years old. He didn’t have very many high hopes for their marriage but he knew they needed to produce an heir. Of course he didn’t expect that to be the first time they had sex – which surprisingly wasn’t on their wedding night. Rupert staunchly refused to make love to her until he loved her, so she simply didn’t end up pregnant until she was 43. Rupert could remember everything about that night – the smooth skin of his breast in his palm, her voice in his ear begging for more. Yes, it had been perfect for them both. And it resulted in the best thing that ever happened to either one of them.
Jacob Cullen was born on Halloween night in the early 60’s. Hilariously enough, Casseopiea wasn’t supposed to go into labor for a few more months, so Jacob was a bit premature. She was also wearing a dragon costume that night at a huge costume ball she and her fabulously rich family had put on so the pictures from that event are particularly amusing compared to most people’s. Jacob was a happy little baby although he made it very obviously what he wanted and when. From a very young age he was displaying magic, and even levitated his mother’s entire body to his crib one night because he wanted to suck her teat to replenish his hunger, at age 9 months. Casseopeia and Rupert knew at that moment that their son was going to be a very powerful dark wizard.
As soon as Jacob went to Hogwarts he was wildly popular immediately, already shacking up with girls at age 12. He showed lots of intelligence in and out of the classroom. As aforementioned all of his Professors think he is very wise and keen. He mostly thinks they’re all idiots and wishes they would go away and stop giving out so much homework, but there’s not much you can do about that. Now at Hogwarts Jacob is the Slytherin team Quidditch Capitan and he is getting with girls left and right. He’s in a bit of a power struggle with other slytherins like Reglus and that goshdarned Teddy Tonks, but he knows he can beat out both of them in the end because he is better at them both at getting good grades, getting hot girls, and getting on the Dark Lord’s good side. He hopes to one day be the Dark Lord’s right hand man and personal assistant, maybe even take over the Ministry as some sort of brilliant scheme of His and rule everyone in the United Kingdom. But for now, he just needs to make it through his fifth year.
Sample Post: “No, this is serious business!”, Jacob snapped, slamming his fist down on the table in the Great Hall, staring at his players with the same intensity a mother bear showed when her children were in grave danger. Placing both of his strong, nimble hands upon the rugged mahogany of the table that had probably occupied the stone room for hundreds of years, he looked each one of his fellow Quidditch players right in the eye. “We need to win this match tomorrow.” And they needed to. They really did. The unbreakable vow had already been made. What kind of unbreakable vow, you ask? Well let me tell you. They all swore that they would poision one another if they didn’t win. Although dying a dramatic death due to the deepness of their dedication to the diversion of dillydallying did define their dumbwittedness, it also defined their deliverance of devotion to being devinely defectless. It was just another necessary move Jacob saw fit to keep these bitches in line, if you know what I mean.
Jacob knew he needed to win the Quidditch House Cup this year; his dad had been captain of his Slytherin Quidditch Team when he was just 12 years old up until he graduated at age 18, and they had won every year. He knew he had a lot to live up to, and seeing his father’s disappointed face at the final match of the year was not something he could deal with emotionally lately, no thanks to Susan Greengrass going off and deciding she could dump him for nothing. He was in love with her! And he treated her so good! He didn’t understand what he had done to upset her, and Jacob was hurt. But he knew he would find someone else to be his soul mate. There were plenty of fish in the sea for him.
His loyal servants chatted amongst themselves, talking strategy, knowing this loss to Hufflepuff – obviously the worst team at school – would mean their deaths. Of course they weren’t too worried about it – but then again, they totally were. Making an Unbreakable Vow that essentially required you to pull a Romeo and Juliet, minus the kissing (in his case, hopefully not; but he did make the other male players on the team sign a legal document stating that they wouldn’t become romantically or sexually involved with the girls on the team because they were his) and the stabbing and all the dramatics and old time speak, mostly just the suicidie and maybe some of the sauciness from the whole costume party aspect. At least, Jacob thought there was a costume party in Romeo and Juliet – he was a pureblood, so he stayed as far away as he could from anything that was created by a Muggle. He was just guessing based off of the bits and pieces of the Leonardo DiCaprio movie he had seen. Bits and pieces of, though. Not the entire thing. Because he was too busy snogging a girl on a broom above a drive-in theatre.
He felt his Dark Mark tingle on his back; his connection with the Dark Lord was strong, and his Lord wanted him to win this match as well. This was His way of telling him that. Jacob’s shoulders shuddered lightly and he looked down, feeling pain prickling at his fingers. He had been clenching his hands so tight he started to pull up slices of wood from the table. Sighing angrily, he huffed away, knowing he needed to have a quick visit with Madame Pomfrey. ”Are you okay?” he heard a quiet voice trail after him, and he whipped around; the girl collided into his body, and he glowered down at her. Face softening at the obvious concern in her face for her favorite capitan, he eased up, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. ”I’m okay now that you’re here, Narcissa” he whispered into her ear, pulling her close and wrapping his arms around her and placing his bloody hands around her waist.
Yes, he would definitely be getting over that Susan Greengrass tonight.
Even if that meant a Romeo and Juliet death for him and his favorite Black sister the next morning.

Hello, Amy!
Wow, what a unique application. :) An interesting read indeed. However, we do have a couple of concerns:
1) If you read the rules, you will learn what the "preferred pronouns" section means, as well as what should be listed beside "other." I suggest that you go through and re-read all of the rules, even though we know they're a bit lengthy.
2) Second, we clearly state in our rules that we don't want any "house-pushing" in regard to OCs, and it's apparent that Jacob is a Slytherin. While it's alright for you to have your own ideas about where he might be sorted, it's not alright to try and force the admins to sort your character in a House – does that make sense? Kinda takes the fun out of the Sorting process!
3) Third, the number of Death Eaters permitted on the site is maintained by our staff, and the only pre-approved student-DE is Regulus Black, as it is dictated by canon. Unfortunately, no other students may become DEs until they graduate, so we'll have to ask you to remove that part of Jacob's application.
4) Fourth, the personality section should be at least four paragraphs, so you'll need to beef that up juuust a bit. I suggest reading up on the "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" phenomenon by taking this small survey. You'll find that Jacob may fit that category, so in future revisions, we'd ask you to add more variety to his personality.
5) Fifth, well... this may be a bit arbitrary, but the face claim you've selected for Jacob is rather disturbing. Perhaps you should search for one a bit more appropriate for roleplaying purposes, with more photoshoots available to manipulate for post headers and such, so the rest of us on the site get a clearer image of how Jacob looks. This will help you out.
6) In your application you have referenced Jacob as being the Quidditch Captain of Slytherin's team – but that spot is taken, as are all the other captain positions of each House. On ISS we award spots on the team based on mini applications. You may only apply for a position after your character has been accepted. Click here and here to learn more.
Until these changes have been made/addressed, I'll unfortunately have to label this application as "pending." Please try and understand that we're not trying to be rude, we only want to adhere to our site's standards. I wish you luck on your revisions. Feel free to contact us at any time either on this page or via Private Message if you have any questions.

As this application has not been edited in over a week, it has ultimately been rejected. [/color]
