Facial Properties:{1+ paragraphs}
Ludo has his mother to thank for his fair hair and icy blue eyes. His father contributed his strong jaw and innocent smile. Ludo's got a bit of an odd nose shape which has borrowed elements from both his father and mother. He has well defined cheek bones which only add to his smile. He also boasts slightly larger than average ears and a pale complexion inherited from both parents..

He is generally clean-shaven and keeps his hair short out of preference and simple tradition. His father cut his hair using a simple pair of buzz clippers.

Ludo's blue eyes are always blue but depending upon the lightning and the angle from which you look they will appear lighter or darker. Most of his emotions seep through his eyes which make him very bad a liar...which is less than ideal for a gambler.

Physique:{1+ paragraphs}
Ludo is in execellent physical shape thanks to intense quidditch training. When Ludo came into Hogwarts as a first year he was a little on the chubby side. This proved to be mostly “baby fat” however as Ludo soon shed the few extra pounds for lean muscle mass...rigorous training to become a world class beater can do that to you. He would probably be seen more as toned than built...at least until he takes his shirt off. Still no one will accuse Ludo of being on any sort of steroid, but to assume he's not strong, could prove a dire mistake...especially on the quidditch pitch.
Ludo has thighs that are perhaps a bit larger than they should be as this seems to be the only area of him not made of solid muscle, but he has the muscle in his calves to make up for any problem this may have caused.

Personality:{4+ paragraphs}
Ludo is a bit arrogant, especially when it comes to quidditch. And rightfully so as he is probably one of the best beaters to go through Hogwarts school, you just sometimes wish he didn't realize it so much. Still Ludo maintains a mostly friendly and positive attitude, so as long as you don't challenge his abilities in anyway he won't have a problem with you. On the other hand it doesn't take much to make Ludo snap so it's wise to watch what you say around him. Ludo is highly competitive and always ready for a challenge.

Ludo also has a certain charm, most of it coming from the fact that he is a rather attractive person thanks mostly to his sparkling blue eyes, innocent smile. Ludo often uses eye contact as primary flirting. Looking at a girl in class until she looks back, getting just that brief eye contact before turning away with that cute, half embarrassed smile on his face. He usually uses this method to make a girl come to him, though if he's interested enough he will initiate contact. He likes to flirt as long as the girl's pretty. If he's not interested, however, the girl may as well not exist.

Ludo also tends to have commitment issues in relationships. He'll fall for one girl, ask her out and start dating, but then as soon as he confronted by another cute girl he seems unable to resist flirting and sometimes a little more...though he is working on that.

Ludo is not unintelligent, in fact he is quite smart...at least when it comes to books. He has a razor sharp memory and does well in class...though he would probably do better if he didn't use so much brain space on quidditch. If Ludo is ever to be considered “dim” it is because he sometimes lacks commonsense. He is also rather gullible, and his friends tend to take advantage of this. But it's all in good fun and Ludo can usually just laugh it off...but it still bother him sometime. Well it bothers him all the time, but he only lets that show some of the time.

Ludo considers himself to be a quidditch 'addict' unfortunatley that's not the only thing he's addicted to. Over the past few years Ludo's love for quidditch has fostered a love for gambling on the games. Ludo lives and dies on bets he makes, and like with all things sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses. Lucky for him as of now he doesn't have much money of his own and most of his bets are innocent ones with friends. Ludo also seems to be building an drinking problem to go along with his gambling. (Once he signed a contract with the Wimbourne Wasps, he was forced to stop gambling and cut back on his drinking)

History:{4+ paragraphs}
Ludovic Aidan Bagman was born to Aidan James Bagman Esq. and Kylie Persephone Bagman (form. Elphinstone). Both parents are of Scot-Irish ancestry, but both were raised, as Ludo was in England. A small, wizarding community would be where young Ludovic would call home until he turned eleven, and there was where the Bagman's would become friends with the Rookwoods...a family who's son Augustus would cause problems for Ludo later in life.

The Bagman's were not a rich family, at least by pureblood standards, but they made sure that their son never wanted for anything. Aidan and Kylie met at Howarts and were married the year after Kylie graduated (Aidan was a year older). It would be almost two years later on the second day of may that Kylie would give birth to Ludo. As time went on Kylie and Aidan began to have trouble in paradise, but Ludo was always the glue that kept them together. After Ludo's second year there were talks of a divorce, but the young couple were once again able to resolve their issues and are still together.

Ever since he was a kid all Ludo dreamed about was being a world famous quidditch player one day. Though this is a common dream for many young wizards the desire never died in Ludo, and as he grew older he really couldn't see himself being happy doing anything else. So with some encouragement (perhaps at times too much encouragement) from his father Ludo practiced to become the astounding beater he is today at 18 years old and on the brink of signing a contract with the Wimbourne Wasps.

Aidan Bagman was always proud of his son, though he didn't seem to show it often as he was often criticizing Ludo, trying to keep him from making the same mistakes he'd made. Ludo idolized his father for a long time until one day when his father came out and told Ludo, “I don't want you to be like me, I want you to be better than me.” Having never considered his father a bad man in any sense this was hard for young Ludo to understand, but nevertheless those words became the driving force for Ludo's determination in following his childhood dream.

Kylie Bagman is a loving...if not overprotective mother. Ludo was always her 'baby' and she still sees him that way today as he stands at the age of 18. She always worries about Ludo playing quidditch, especially since he had 'those crazy things' flying at him all the time. Keep in mind that Ludo has been flying since he was maybe 3-5 and playing at least semi-organized quidditch games since he was 8. 10 years later his mother still cringes when a bludger gets too close.

ABOUT YOU
Name: Brett
Years of Experience: 2 ish
Sample Post: {4+ paragraphs}
People let you down, always. There are no exceptions especially when you build them up the way Brett did. You put people on this pedestal of perfection, and try to match it, but no one, least of all himself could stay up for long before crashing back to the ground. Brett had stopped in his tracks, even now Lily had that power over him and he couldn't deny it.

"I'm not sure what to say here Lils," he admitted turning back to face her his voice soft and flowing easily as he poured over his thoughts searching for words. "I think you of all people should understand why I can't be with you right now. I still love you Lily, but I just wanted to feel happy again. I know I should have gone looking for you and I'm sorry.

"You just left so abruptly I was afraid you didn't want to see me. I thought you needed time to think at first and after the first month I convinced myself that you had moved on. I know it was stupid, I do, but I was so sick of being sad all the time," Brett said explaining calmly some details he had probably missed when he had his temper flaring earlier.

"I just wanted to be happy and along came Eirena with her cute little smile and she kissed me and I kissed her back and I felt that happiness I had been craving, it was the happiest I'd been since you left and I didn't want to lose that. I'm sorry I hurt you, but please don't make me hurt her because I made a mistake," Brett said softly explaining. His mistake was doubting Lily would come back his mistake had been falling for another girl.

Eirena had been one of the few who could make him forget the pain Lily's departure left and she was the only one he became involved with romantically. A relationship which had started as a way to keep his mind off Lily had become so much stronger in such a short time. He didn't want to hurt Eirena like he had hurt Lily.
