CRAU History and Impact: N/A
Personality:

Newt is a ridiculously dedicated individual. He's rather passionate about what he's into and it's apparent how much Newt loves creatures with how he had chosen a career in it. It's even noted that Newt's mother and brother are disappointed in his career choice despite his mother being a breeder of hippogriffs. Throughout the film(s), Newt is shown as being nothing but empathetic towards all creatures big or small. He speaks about how he's working in the field to release a book detailing more about creatures in a means to spread knowledge as a means to prevent the merciless killing of beasts. By the time the first film starts, Newt has spent a year out in the field to gather information needed for his book. He has traveled across the world, so that he can educate others. He doesn't speak at all about fame or recognition, but merely that he hopes he can teach others the importance of these creatures.

He is as compassionate as he is passionate. Newt doesn't see any creatures as dangerous or strange. He goes as far as to see humans as the most ruthless and vicious of beings. That doesn't mean that Newt hates people, but that he just prefers creatures to them. His compassion is not limited to creatures though as he's seen trying to comfort Credence despite Credence being very dangerous and volatile. Newt holds no prejudice whatsoever; a rarity given the era. Regardless if they are pure blood, or a muggle, or even a creature; Newt seems to value every life equally. It's apparent in how he befriends Jacob, a muggle, or how he loves all the creatures he takes care of and how they seem to love him back. It's worth to note that there are thousands of creatures within his briefcase and some are considered highly dangerous, but seem docile in his care. Newt does not discriminate. He's simple in that he merely follows what he believes is right.

It's noted by Albus Dumbldedore that Newt isn't someone who is interested in fame or power. That Newt doesn't do things for his own personal gain, but merely questions whether it is right or not. This seems to hold true with how Newt goes about his life. His career choices for one. His brother is a high ranking Auror, whereas Newt holds a rather low position in the Ministry of Magic. How he handles creatures is another good example. It's worth noting that Newt has stolen creatures from traffickers and smugglers. His real reason to going to America was to bring a Thunderbird back home from where he found it in Egypt. He has a breeding pair of Graphorns and claims they're the last of their kind. Some of his creatures are very much illegal. Newt does not seem to have much care for laws and legality and only cares to do what he perceives as the right thing to do.

His drive to do what is right makes Newt a bit of a reckless individual in the eyes of many. Newt is known for someone who doesn't follow orders very well. His stubborn nature is obvious in that he's rather unmoving and uncompromising in his opinions. He seems to have a knack to getting into trouble and has a bit of a disregard for his own well-being and safety more foten than not. He's been around countless creatures that could easily kill him and he puts himself into danger to help creatures and people alike. He approaches Credence despite Credence being dangerous because of his Obscurial status. Newt has an Obscurus in his case that he had separated from a young girl when he was in Sudan, which is why he had a good knowledge of Obscurials in the first place.

Newt's stubborn and uncompromising ways in his interests makes him rather an eccentric man. His passion for creatures and his view of them and Muggles is not a completely common view. It makes Newt a bit of a black sheep. It's also paired with the fact that Newt doesn't do very well in a social setting. He's awkward and stumbles over his words. He mentions to Jacob that people find him annoying and that he was more comfortable with creatures than people. He can barely keep eye contact with others and either struggles to keep conversation or speaks too much (usually over topics that he's fond of). His way of words is completely lacking as he uses phrases and words that would only be used by him (it happens in the second movie) and he hasn't the slightest clue on how to tie up a conversation other than to awkwardly end it and leave.

Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping:

General Magic: Newt is a wizard and has the ability to do any form of magic from simply turning a spoon in a cup of tea to rather complex charms like expanding the inside of his briefcase. Magic as a wizard is just an integral part of their being. Entering Deerington will warp his abilities. While he can still successfully cast a spell of his choosing at times, he will find that they will not always work or require quite a bit of energy or attention to pull them off (much more than they would require normally). Furthermore, he'll find that while he can successfully cast magic, it'll sometimes rebound or inflict him harm in return (ex: successfully being able to start a fire but finding his wand burning him in return).

He may also experience accidental magic, which is a common trait that young wizards and witches exhibit before they properly learn to control their magic. This usually occurs when they become too emotional and it outlets in the form of their magic.

Healing: Wizards are capable of being able to heal themselves and others with magic. Healing will have the opposite effect and will worsen injuries.

Apparition: Newt has the ability to apparate successfully. Apparation is basically teleportation, but requires a destination in mind and must be deliberate. A lack of determination or deliberation can result in splinching (leaving behind parts of themselves or clothes in their previous location). He also has the ability to apparate others with him. Due to Deerington warping his ability, he will find that some form of splinching will occur whenever he apparates. The severity of his splinching (cracks or bits of skin missing leading to bleeding increasing to losing larger parts of himself) will be based on the distance. The farther he apparates, the worse the splinching is. Repetitive apparation within a small time frame (or without giving much time for previous splinching injuries to heal) will also increase the severity of his injuries.

Are you comfortable with prominent elements of fourth-walling?: Yes
What themes of horror/psychological thrillers do you enjoy the most?: I think my favorite is seeing how people react for the sake of survival such as Battle Royale showing some of the kids working together and others killing. I'm also fond of more spiritual horror and reading about horror games like Hitori Kakurenbo.
