Canon: Yes
House:: GRYFFLECLAWRIN! no, no...Gryffindor.
Preferred Year: 6th
Likes: Lily Evans (hence the green). Quidditch.
Dislikes: Mum's cats. Snivellus Snape. The Black Family (excluding Sirius, of course)
Bio: James Potter was born and raised in Winchester near the English Channel. His mother, Damia, can be summed up in few words: "crazy housebound cat lady." She was a traveling cosmetics saleswoman until she had James and decided to be a stay at home mother. The cats started showing up after James went to Hogwarts. James's father, Janus, is a top-ranking Unspeakable for the Ministry of Magic. He's an in-the-closet cat-hater. He just wants to keep the wife happy. James has been pampered and taken care of all his life, and is used to getting whatever he wants. So, when he first laid eyes on the lovely Lily Evans, he had no idea what sort of rude awakening he was in for.

Character Name: Sirius Black
Canon: Yes
House:: Gryffindor
Preferred Year: 6th
Likes: His marauder buddies, pulling pranks, exploring the grounds, and transfiguration.
Dislikes: Severus Snape, Argus Filch, the Dark Arts, his family, his house elf, and dishonesty.
Bio: Sirius comes from a long pureblood line known to be connected with other prominant wizarding families such as the Lestranges and the Malfoys. Sirius is befriended by James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Petigrew. During their stay at Hogwarts, they established themselves as the marauders. Sirius Black learned to be a black dog animagus. He dislikes the Dark Arts and Severus Snape. In Sirius Black's sixth year, jis family disowns him because he does not agree with their sinfully proud nature and hatred towards non-purebloods. Also, Sirius turned out a Gryffindor, unlike his family in which were all in Slytherin house. Because of this, he does not return; instead running off to live with James for the summer.

Character Name: Remus John Lupin
Canon: NO. jk, yes.
House:: Gryffindor
Preferred Year: 6th
Likes: His friends, his father, Hogwarts, Dimbledore, being given oppotunities no one else would have given him
Dislikes: Lycanthropy, Fenrir Greyback, the Shrieking Shack, his mother
Bio: Remus's father had always been an icon to his friends and collagues...until he got into a little spat with Fenrir Greyback. Greyback wanted Lupin to stop searching for a cure toward Lycanthropy. John insisted that his research was for the greater good, and Greyback immediately swore John would rue the day not he, but his son, was born. Three nights later, five year old Remus was bitten by a werewolf, never to be the same. Remus's mother went through stages of grieving at her son's illness, sometimes up and leaving for weeks at a time, only to come back again, assuring her son that she's back for good, only to leave again the next month. She's still swinging, only increasing Remus's suffering. He just wants her to leave and stay away from him. He knews she's afraid of him but won't admit it yet. He can only hope that when he turns seventeen his mother will finally decide he can make his own choices.
Remus is a quiet, studious child, always has been. Of course, his illness and oddities didn't exactly encourage friendly bonds. He kept to himself as a first year until he met James, Sirius, and Peter. He opened up slowly, cautiously, as he always had, but when they learned of his lycanthropy and accepted him for it anyway, Remus knew he could trust these four with his life, because his secret is his life. He made a pact with the marauders to never betray them, to always be there when a fellow Marauder is in need, and to never let his condition stand between their friendship, no matter what the times are like. He also plays guitar, since he was six. He wanted to be Paul McCartney when he was little.

Character Name: Peter Pettigrew
Canon: Yup
House:: SLYTHER - I mean *cough* Gryffindor, of course.
Preferred Year: 6
Likes: Lily Evans (did I say that out loud?), being a Marauder (hey, it keeps him from getting beaten up), watching James and Sirius be all prankster-y, being an Animagus, any time when he's not in class
Dislikes: Studying, homework, getting beaten up, being left out, being in danger of any kind
Bio: Peter was raised mostly by his mother - his parents weren't divorced, but his father was hardly ever home due to his job, so Peter never really got to know him. His mother was extremely overprotective of him, and as a result he became extremely over-cautious about everything. Being the scrawny, mousy boy he was, he got picked on and beaten up a lot as a little boy, and he soon developed the ability to befriend the "biggest bullies on the playground," as JKR put it. That's how he found the Marauders - noticing that they were likely to give the largest amount of protection from bullies, he cozied up to them and became a part of their inner circle. Which leads us to where he is now.

Character Name: Luxury Moon
Canon: No
House:: Gryffindor
Preferred Year: 6
Likes: The moon, water, learning all she can about Lycanthropy, Care of Magical Creatures, clear starry nights, Defense Against the Dark Arts
Dislikes: The smells in potion class, gossip
Bio: Wulfric Moon is your stereotypical pureblood, up to his neck in pride, money, and power. And he raised his son to honor those same beliefs. Sebastian Moon turned out just the way he wanted, prideful and arrogant. Silvia Moon is not as harsh, but she’s not a sweet little flower either. Their only daughter, Luxury, was an unexpected surprise. Silvia had a problematic pregnancy when she was carrying Sebastian. So problematic in fact that she almost died during childbirth. Lucky the healers saved her but she could never bare another child. However, less then a year later, Silvia found herself with child again. Both she and Wulfric were terrified. Strangely enough there were no complications at all and Luxury Syrian Moon arrived two weeks early while the Moon’s were in Ireland at their summer home by the ocean.
Luxury never had a normal life by no means. Her family traveled all over the world cause of her father’s career. Six months here, two months there. It never bothered Lux that they moved so much. In fact she craved it. She could never stand to be in one place for too long. During their travels, Luxury met some very interesting people. One of her favorite had to be the expert on lycanthropy that she met while in Russia for 9 months. He had told her so many things! He had inspired her to become a doctor of lycanthropy herself.
When Lux reached the age of 11 her mother began to home school her in magic because they moved so much. Sebastian was home schooled as well. Silvia was a good teacher and got both Lux and Sebastian through their OWLs without a hitch. As Lux was about to begin her 6th year of magical education, Wulfric received a more permanent job in England. This meant the both Sebastian and Luxury would finish their schooling in an actual school.
Lux is a very curious person and is liable to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. She’s also very outgoing and would rather be outside then anywhere else.
