Augustus' Plots

[Augustus Rookwood]

AUGUSTUS ROOKWOOD



Little About Him:

Augustus appears affable, trustworthy and charming, he seems like he’s everything but a Death Eater, unfortunately that would be false. In many ways he is what he appears to be, a fun, good and understanding person, but he only shows his true self to close loved ones or people he truly trusts. Yes, he acts and he’s a complete fake to most of his ‘friends’ and acquaintances, he pretends he cares but in truth he doesn't. In a lot of ways he is himself even when he’s pretending; it’s just the honesty in his actions that are misleading. Augustus does this to gain your trust and to avoid suspicion.

Behind his act he truly despises the idea of muggles living in the magical world, however, unlike Voldemort he doesn't believe they should all be killed etc. Not a fan of cruelty or violence he only wishes they would stay in their world and not invade his, he joined the Death Eaters under the impression that this is what their goal was. Yet to be disappointed he still believes his doing the right thing, but to be safe he always plans ahead and assures he has leverage over the other. Knowledge is power.

Love Interest:

Never the boy to look at girls, ask them on a date or write them a cheesy letter, but the boy who had a secret, a flaw as he believes. Being attracted to the same gender has been a challenge over the years, he believes it’s impure, that it makes him a failure and therefore he fell into denial, claiming to be asexual as everybody assumed. In truth he does look, he does think and he does, like any normal person, want it, but he pushes the thought away as soon as he realizes it’s there.

It could be fun to challenge this. Open for ideas.

Friends:

A fun, trustworthy person was never said to be bad company. August appears to be quite the friend, he’s everything that will win you over, gain your trust and most importantly, make you believe he’s a friend. Most of this would be him faking his way through, avoiding suspicion and gathering information that might be valuable. To an acquaintance, a ‘friend’, or maybe even a passerby, he would seem neutral like his family. No sides and no problems with muggles. 

If you know him well enough, or you might be a fellow Death Eater, you’d know all of the above are lies or half true. As for friends he completely trusts, which he currently has none of, he would slowly open up and truly be the person everybody thinks he is with a few altered details.

Enemies:

I’m not entirely sure if there are people who would consider him an enemy since he adapts to the other’s personality. However, he would definitely have some, because who doesn't? Those who call him a friend might be an enemy to him. I’m open to ideas here!


Plots involving family or anything not mentioned above welcome!

Hello hello!
Augustus and Sirius
I can't see why they would interact unless they stumbled into each other. Obviously, if Sirius knew his true alliances and beliefs, he would dislike Rookwood, but if he puts on that nice and friendly act they could get along. Perhaps Sirius could actually think pretty highly of him, because he generally has a fairly good idea of how all the pureblooded families are, and since the Rookwoods aren't notorious like some of the others, and Augustus has a respectable Ministry job, then Sirius may think fondly of him. That is one possibility, or it could go completely the other way and he would be suspicious of Augustus, but I think the first sounds more realistic. However, like I said, not sure how they would interact, but if you have ideas I would love to hear them.

Augustus and Adelaide
This one I see even less possibility. She's still in school. She'd probably get along with his fake front just fine, because she is quite friendly and personable herself, but she is a muggleborn, so that may create a rift between them. That is, if they ever meet, which seems to me to be highly unlikely, but as with Sirius, if you have any ideas I am quite open to them.

Augustus and Tony
This one has potential. Both are undercover Death Eaters, and neither really are fully committed to the cause. The difference is that Tony is a rather violent person and doesn't particularly have much against Muggles/Muggleborns, but they'd kind of balance each other out in that aspect. And they are both Ministry workers, both a little reluctant perhaps to allow people to get close to them. I think we could have some fun with these two. Tony doesn't have the mark, but maybe if you want to jump in the Death Eater thread, they could recognize each other, or we could assume they just know that about each other already. Or anything else. Whatever works!

Frank & Augustus

They were either in the same year at Hoggers or only a year apart so I imagine they might have rubbed shoulders on a pretty regular basis. They were also were both on the Quidditch team for Frank this was a beater from 5th-7th year (and he was never very good). Frank is basically well disposed to most people providing there behaviors not unreasonable and being from a good family and he's got good links to the Slytherin house. He is however, a blood traitor and a order member. He's also disorganized, untidy, frequently late and excessively chatty and liable to leave the bathroom in a mess... Their relationship is up to you but I quite like the idea of Frank being utterly duped by Rockwood. (You might also guess the idea of Frank being incredible irritating to Augustus also appeals to me.)

Regulus & Augustus

In many ways they're very, very similar. I think Regulus would adore and idolise Augustus, even without Augustus taking any stand against mudblood's. There's quite a big age gap but even with it, I'd still like to do something with them. They share the rotten feeling of being utterly inadequate and in Regulus' case in fuels his fear of his world being contaminated which I think Augustus shares? I'm not sure how to thread them but I really want to

[Augustus Rookwood]

Frank and Augustus

I didn't think these two would interact much, but now I just love this! I can already see Augustus' frustration with Frank, silently judging him for being untidy, irritated because he's always late or fighting the overwhelming urge to roll his eyes at every word that comes out of Frank's mouth. The worst part is that Augustus has to put up with it and pretend he doesn't care. Oh, the torture! I like the idea that Frank's completely duped by Augustus and Augustus is incredibly irritated by Frank!

Regulus and Augustus

I think I should PM you with this one since it'll pretty much be an essay. Yup, going to PM you.

PS: I probably already have.

Augustus and Sirius

I don't think Augustus would give Sirius any reason to be suspicious if that's not his intention, but he's not perfect so he might slip up once or twice. Though if that happens he would cover it up. If these two interact I would say they'd get along pretty well, Augustus would use him for information, pretend and pretty much be someone Sirius could think fondly of. At the moment I don't see much interaction, though I would like to thread them in the future, so we should talk when an opportunity presents itself?

Augustus and Adelaide

I doubt these two would ever interact unless some crazy circumstances throw them together. Even then I think he'll try to avoid her because she's a muggleborn, knowing he'll have to pretend he doesn't mind her existence. Sounds so cruel, I'm sorry!

Augustus and Tony

Yessssssssssssss! These two definitely balance each other out, and they have a few things in common which makes for good threading. In many ways I can see Augustus considering him as a friend, though remaining reluctant because of trust issues. Besides, can you ever really trust another Death Eater? This could be quite amusing! I'll go read the thread and fall in straight away.

Frank and Augustus

There complete incompatibility is sooo tempting... Especially if Augustus had to pretend to like him or at least just tolerate him which Frank having a labrador like temperament would cheerfully assume to be a sign they're great buddies. It's a match made in heaven. Sorry Rockwood!


Regulus and Augustus

Replied!

Rockwood and Black/Longbottom planning shall be continued in PM.
