Bio

The Basics

Character Names: Fred and George Weasley
PB: Seth Green
Age: 22
Birthday: April 1, 1978
Wand: Fred - Ash and Coyote hair, 12" for serious pranking fun. George - Cherry and Kitsune hair, 12" for pranking with finesse.
House in School: Gryffindor
Bloodline: Pureblood
Political View: Fred is adamantly against Voldemort (and anything that gets in the way with his goal to be one of the two most notorious pranksters in the world). Like wise, he doesn't like the Ministry (excepting his dad, Tonks and a few others) because their mostly a bunch of crabby sticks in the mud. That left only one choice: Join the Order of the Phoenix with the rest of his family. At least Dumbledore had a sense of humor. Now that the war is over, Fred wants to stay in the Order. George is hemming and hawing about leaving or taking on a less official capacity, but Fred's trying to talk him out of it.

George joined the Order of the Phoenix with his brother, Fred because he wanted to help Dumbledore and Harry and his family. With You-Know-Who dead, he’s considering leaving the Order, so that he can devote more time to product development. If he stays, he would prefer for it to be in a less official capacity.

Appearance

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: Flaming red, like the rest of his family
Build: Shorter and stalkier than most of the Weasley clan
Dress Style: Fred dresses casual, often Muggle styles. Nothing flowly or with unnecessary material that might get in the way of working on new products for the shop. The painfully fuchia robes he originally picked out for the shop were eventually done away with, on the grounds that customers were getting headaches.

George also dresses in casual, often Muggle styles. He likes wearing jeans… especially when working around potions. Stuff that can get dirty and/or ruined, without having to worry about it. George does like to dress nice on occasion, however.
Defining Marks: Both have freckles liberally scattered all over the place. Fred has a scar on his left arm, from an unfortunate experiment gone horribly wrong... Never mix Firewhiskey and gunpowder in closed spaces. George doesn't have any other discerning marks… yet. He’s considering getting his left ear pierced, for his birthday.

Personality

Fred is loud, a bit hyper, boysterous, flamboyant, dangerously brilliant... well... both of the twins are brilliant. Fred is more the "doer" of the twins, where as George is the "thinker". Oh, Fred comes up with ideas, but George comes up with more... And George is better at tweaking them until they work. Fred also doesn't have George's patience, which is one of the reasons why he's a horrible cook and even worse at potions. Oh, Fred knows how to be quiet and sneaky... Those are requirements of being a good prankster, after all. He also knows how to bide his time, if he has to, though he prefers not to.

George is the quieter and more serious of the two Weasley twins. But not by much. His strongest suit was in potions, so he makes a lot of the potion-based gags for the shop. He also does the cooking in the flat above the shop... Have you ever eaten that stuff Fred makes that passes for "food"? Trust me on this... Being slightly more grounded than Fred, George is usually the one who makes sure the two don't get caught doing... whatever it is they're doing. It also leaves him in charge of things like the store books, finances, etc. However… you know the saying, “Beware of the quiet ones…” hehehe…

Psychology

Fred's strength is his energy and ability to think on his feet. If he has any weaknesses, it's that he's sometimes a bit too impetuous. He also has an unconcious dependency on George to help keep him grounded.

George considers it a sign of fate that he and his twin were born on April Fool's Day. As such, he will play the Fool (with Fred's help, of course) and make fools of others, while he's at it. Of course he would NEVER do this to hurt anyone... He simply wishes to remind people that life is too short to be taken so seriously. If George has any quirks, it's that he has some serious problems with denial... At least where personal misfortunes are concerned. He would rather make someone (anyone laugh) than have to deal with his own feelings. Of course, if everyone around him is laughing, what reason does he have to be sad?

Extrovert/Introvert: Fred's a complete extrovert. So much so that it's almost impossible for him to bottle it up sometimes. George is an extrovert, but not to Fred’s degree. He’s slightly more introverted.

Boggart Would Be: Fred's boggart is a very large needle. Fred's been afraid of needles since he was little, after an accident with one of Arthur's Muggle artifacts. Needless to say, he will NOT be going with George, when his twin decides to get his ear pierced.George's boggart is a bunch of people milling around in grey suits, with grey skin, representing a world without a sense of humor.

Patronus Would Be: Both can produce a patronus. Fred's is a large lapel flower, the kind that squirts water at people. Why? Because it's funny and great for throwing people off guard... Or annoying the hell out of them... George's patronus is a Japanese Tengu (goblin) – a wiry man with a bird’s head and wings. They’re known to attack people who are either too full of themselves or take themselves too seriously and, let’s face it, Dementors (and dark wizards too) take themselves WAY too seriously.

Sexuality

Fred is straight, with very slight leanings towards being bi... He's not really into guys, but he can come off that way sometimes. George is straight, but open minded. He tends to prefer dating Muggle girls… Mostly because he gets some of his best ideas for new gags from Muggles. (And deep down, he’s just as fascinated with Muggles as his Dad… He’s just not quite as obsessed about it).

Lifestyle

Occupation: Co-owners/Proprietors of Weasley Wizard Wheezes and pranksters.
Residence: Share a spacious flat, above the joke shop
Financial Status: The joke shop took off almost as soon as it opened. Within months, business was booming. In 4 years, they’ve managed to break out of the stigma that all Weasleys are dirt poor. Which isn’t to say that they’re rolling in cash… yet…. But the twins are working on it.

Family

Family: The Weasley Clan
Parents: Molly and Arthur Weasley
Siblings: Bill, Charlie, Percy (deceased). Ron and Ginny. Sister-in-Law, Fleur Delacour-Weasley. Fred is 10 minutes older than George.

The Weasley's are a pretty tight clan. Even when they have their blow-ups (and they're a bunch of red-heads, blow-ups are expected), the manage to come back together. The one exception was always Percy. He turned out to a big prat and a stuck up git. Which isn't to say that Fred didn't love Perc... He was just hard to deal with. Even so, Percy's death hit Fred rather hard. It was only George's refusal to let it get to him that kept the twins from closing up the shop for more than a week. This is a good thing and a bad thing, because Fred actually did deal with Percy's death, but George... not so much. George is pretty much in denial, where Percy is concerned. He does denial well... This tends to worry Fred sometimes. There’s nothing Fred or George wouldn’t do for a member of their family, including help out financially… and/or provide jobs to certain younger siblings…

History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time

George (and Fred, of course) spent his time at Hogwarts surpassing the Mauraders in pranks and detentions. Which isn't to say that he didn't learn anything at Hogwarts. The boys are too smart for their own good... Although they'd never let their teachers find out about this. They'd learn everything there was to learn in their year within a few weeks and then spend the rest of the year... experimenting. Classes bored them, you see. It's hard to pay attention to stuff you've already learned... Especially when there's so much MORE to do and a business to plan for and all.

Rather than finishing Hogwarts, Fred and George staged a spectacular "jailbreak" (well, what would YOU call getting out from under Umbridge's thumb) and opened Weasley Wizard Wheezes, in Diagon Alley. Business was a smashing success, especially with the disappearance of Zonko's, in Hogsmeade... Now that the war’s over, George is looking to set up a second branch of the shop, in the old Zonko’s location.

Bartel and Jaymesson
Alias: Christian Bartel Really: George Weasley PB: Stephen Colbert		Alias: Steven Jaymesson Really: Fred Weasley PB: Rob Corddry
	Semi-Wealthy business men from America, these two gentelmen have taken an interest in Fred and George's business, specifically their gag props and have contracted the twins' services, for a more philanthropic venture. Incidentally, Steven's cousin was bitten by a werewolf some years ago and has also taken an interest in Ginny's proposed werewolf clinic. As a result, they have gifted Fred and George with 2000 Galleons, towards the aquiring of the old Zonko's gag shop location and the eventual broadening of the Weasley business, as well as Ginny's clinic. Note: This is actually a portion of unrecorded profits the twins aquired during and after the war.
