Name
Albus Dumbledore
Blood Type[/b]
Full Blood
Background
Through various interviews and discussions about the character, Rowling has established that Albus Dumbledore was born in 1881 to Percival and Kendra Dumbledore. The character had previously made reference to his brother Aberforth, and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it is revealed that Albus is three years older than Aberforth. For the first time in the series, there is also mention of a sister Ariana who, at six years old, became mentally ill after an attack by three Muggle children who had witnessed her using magic. The novel then mentions that Albus's father, Percival, attacked the three young Muggles in retaliation, and was sentenced to Azkaban for life. To prevent Ariana being admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital, or hurting someone accidentally with her uncontrolled magic, Kendra moved the family to the village of Godric's Hollow, and her illness was concealed. Neighbors assumed that Ariana was a Squib.
When Albus attended Hogwarts, he befriended Elphias Doge, who was generally mocked due to his greenish face, legacy of his having previously contracted dragon pox. During his education at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was known as the most brilliant student to have ever stepped into the school, winning "every prize of note that the school offered", including the Barnabus Finkley Prize for Exceptional Spell-Casting, British Youth Representative to the Wizengamot and the Gold Medal for Ground-Breaking Contribution to the International Alchemical Conference in Cairo and becoming Prefect and Head Boy. He also became well connected with the most notable wizards of the day. Journals such as Transfiguration Today, Challenges in Charming, and The Practical Potioneer published his essays and research. His house affiliation is that of Gryffindor. Hermione Granger gave this information to Harry Potter in Philosopher's Stone on the Hogwarts Express.
Three years later, he was joined by his brother, Aberforth, who proved to be quite different from Albus, and did not possess an extraordinary level of magical talent. When Ordinary Wizarding Levels came about in Harry's fifth year, Griselda Marchbanks, Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, remarked that Albus had "...done things with a wand I'd never seen before." When Dumbledore and Doge left Hogwarts, they planned to take their "then-traditional" tour of the world. On the eve of their trip, the 18-year-old Dumbledore suffered the death of his mother Kendra, accidentally killed by Ariana, during one of her outbursts.

Sample Rp Post
Albus clapped as Madeye Moody entered the great hall. "I would like to welcome Professor Moody" Dumbledore announced through out the now quiet hall. "And now on to a very important and special announcement!" He exclaimed throughout the hall. "Hogwarts, had been chosen to host the famous, Tri-Wizard tournament!" Some students went into an uproar, others didn't know what it was. "The Tri-Wizard Tournament is a tournament held between 3 schools! 1 Student will be chosen from each school, to undertake dangerous life-threatening situations!" His voice echoed through the eager crowd.
