Physical Description: Severus' skin is extremely pale, providing a rather extreme contrast to his raven-esque hair and eyes. His voice is soft and even, no matter how angry or upset he may be. Severus moves in a very graceful and calculated way, it's often difficult to even notice that he's entered a room. He is very lanky, incredibly skinny and tall, making him even more susceptable to bullying. His dark hair is long, often greasy and is constantly falling over his eyes. Severus' eyes are large, as is his hooked nose. His lips are thin and are typically curved into a mysterious frown. His clothes are nothing special. He doesn't care much at all for fashion, plus he doesn't have the money or means to be interested in how he looks. His own clothes are old, musty and baggy on his scrawny frame. He loves the Hogwarts school uniform, it actually fits him and it provides an image of seriousness and academia. Additionally, he finally isn't being picked on for what he's wearing, as everyone is wearing the uniform. Severus prefers to wear the color black.

General Personality: Severus is a very interesting sort of character. Most people find his personality to be a bit creepy and unfriendly. However, he is actually massively sensitive, caring and courageous. He also happens to be incredibly shy and nervous around other people. He doesn't trust anyone besides himself and Lily. Therefore, he closes himself up to anyone who approaches him. His outwardly unfriendly, curt, nervous and overall anti-social behavior often causes others to bully him, or just completely avoid him. He's seen as a very weird, reclusive geek. He is very interested in learning new things. He loves to be educated and he loves educating himself. He has a very strong characteristic of curiosity. One of his life goals is to learn everything he possibly can, as well as to invent as many spells as he possibly can. After being so abused by his parents, he has learned that he can really rely on anyone else. Being social, therefore, is quite unwise. By making friends, you're just meeting more people who will most likely betray you. He always seems calm, even when he really isn't, as he is beyond good at masking his true feelings. Allowing others to know how you feel is to give them ammo against you. He hasn't time for anything petty. Severus will always tell you his opinion, no matter how harsh it may be.

Brief History:
Was born on January 9th, 1960 to Eileen Prince and Tobias Snape. Tobias was a muggle and very against magic. Tobias and Eileen neglected Snape, causing him to become quite a loner, forcing him to find companionship in books at a very early age. Tobias was shamed of Severus being part-wizard and often abused him emotionally, and sometimes even hit him.
Severus lived with his parents and grew up in Spinner's End, a muggle town near a river, known for its abundance in nothing else but poverty. Thankfully for Severus, the Snape family lived near the Evans, and soon, Severus met Lily. They became fast friends, allowing Severus to learn that Lily was a witch, and Lily to discover that Severus was a wizard. Together, they practiced magic and were able to perform wandless magic before even enrolling at Hogwarts. Lily's nasty Muggle sister, Petunia was not so kind, however, and often made cruel comments regarding Severus' physical appearance, poverty and overall awkward character.
It was quite suddenly after meeting Lily that Severus fell completely and totally for her. Ever since this moment of their first meeting, Severus has done everything with her in his mind. Her love is his ultimate life goal.
In 1971, Severus enrolled as a student at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On the train ride to the school, he sat with Lily, as well as James Potter and Sirius Black, whom they had just met. It was on this trip that James and Sirius invented the 'humorous' nickname, Snivellus. From then on, Severus hated James and Sirius. He was sorted into the Slytherin house, just as he had hoped. Professor Horace Slughorn led Slytherin house and also taught Potions, Severus' best class. Due to his achievements in Potion-making, Severus was accepted as a member of the Slug Club. Still, Professor Slughorn did not see Severus as one of his top students.
Severus was also very good at the Dark Arts. He knew more curses and hexes than most seventh year students in his first year. He spends a lot of his free time since his first year inventing spells, which he writes down secretly in his Potions textbook, under his self-appointed nickname of The Half-Blood Prince.

RP Sample:
Severus sighed, allowing his lanky body to fall onto his black-sheeted bed. Nobody was around at the moment, he was completely alone, thank goodness. He needed to be by himself.
Severus took in another deep breath and closed his eyes, allowing the anger to pass like a dark cloud over his head. He concentrated as hard as he could on the silence of the room, the creaking strain of the bed strings under his weight, the patter of the rain drops rapidly hitting the nearest window. He turned his mind to these sounds rather than the thoughts of what had just transpired.
The idiot James Potter once again had wanted to exert his 'manliness' by calling Severus a slew of mindless, uninspired names. Typically this wouldn't affect Severus in the slightest, but this time, Potter had to do it in front of Lily. Lily saw that Severus couldn't even defend himself. She had to come to HIS rescue. "Real appealing, Severus," he muttered to himself.
At that moment, his fists clenched themselves in an attempt to drive, or squeeze these fears out of his head. He reached under his bed and yanked out his Potions textbook. He opened it up to a random page, allowing his eyes to madly scan the words, reading as fast as he possibly could. The more words that entered his head from the white page, the less he could think about horrible, stupid, idiotic feelings.
