Will they commit a foul?: Yes. If he thinks the benefits are greater than the possible penalty, and it's the best option, and it's not too dirty of a cheat (he doesn't like hurting people, for instance, but grabbing someone's broom doesn't hurt).
Preferred Position: Keeper, Seeker, Chaser Beater
Is your character new to the team this year?: Yes.
Playstyle: Skip has the speed and agility to be world-class in any broom sport. Unfortunately, he's got zero experience playing well with others in any sense, and he also never played a game of catch in his life before freshman year, so his actual sport skills are lacking, leaving him firmly on the reserves. Keeper is his favored position, being basically just a permanent interceptor - intercepting being his absolute best skill. He does tend to get bored hanging around one end of the pitch when the action is happening at the other end, though, and that can cost him. Seeker is his second-best position; once spotted, he can cut across the pitch in .003 seconds to get the snitch. Once again, though, he has issues keeping focused on searching endlessly for the snitch, finding it more fun to engage in the distraction tactics Seekers are also known for. As a Chaser, Skip is great at intercepting and at flying, but his passing needs work and his shooting is awful. And his Beating skills, well, he hits the bludger 99% of the time. His weedy arms just don't get it very far.
