[hider=Character Sheet]NAME: Luther Cunningham AGE: 32 GENDER: Male NATIONALITY: British BLOOD PURITY: Half-blood MARKED?: Assuming you mean the Dark Mark? If so, then yes. APPEARANCE: (See pictures below) Luther is a respectably large man, weighing 250 lb (113 kg) at 6'0 (1.8 m). He is fairly muscular compared to the average wizard, at the cost of some wand finesse. He has dull blue eyes and a blond faux hawk, with a light beard; more than stubble, but not long enough to truly be considered a beard. He has a dragon fang piercing in his right ear, and a celtic tattoo on his left arm, which ends at his elbow. Beneath this is the Dark Mark, branded on him by the Dark Lord. Being a wizard, he rarely wears anything more interesting than a standard wizard's robe. PERSONALITY: Luther is remarkably loyal (so much so, in fact, that the Sorting Hat almost made him a Hufflepuff!), and very resolute in his decisions. Once he has decided to do something, little more than death can sway him to change his mind. To strangers he is reserved and mysterious, but to those who he becomes attached to (especially his sister, Lilly) he can be extroverted, and something of a clown. He cares about Lilly very much, and would do anything to protect her from harm without a second thought, even if the cost was his life. SKILLS AND TALENTS: [b]Strengths[/b] [list] [*]Being stronger than most wizards, Luther excels in close-quarters combat. Who needs a wand when you have fists?[/*] [*]Luther is especially adept at curses, but unlike what would be expected of a Death Eater, he will very rarely use an Unforgivable Curse, only as an absolute last resort.[/*] [/list] [b]Weaknesses[/b] [list] [*]Although he may be stronger than most, he is not the best with a wand. He can be trusted for most things, but in a situation where stealth and/or precision are key, you probably shouldn't trust Luther with the job.[/*] [*]Luther cares about his sister, Lilly, perhaps too much - he values her life more than his, and would gladly do anything for her. This could easily be used against him as he would never do anything that would lead to her being hurt, if he had a choice.[/*] [/list] WAND: Ebony w/ a Dragon Heartstring core, 14 inches, BIO: Luther was born the child of a witch, Lucille Cunningham, and a muggle, Arthur McKinley. Although his surname at birth was his father's, McKinley, he later denied this name and instead adopted his mother's maiden name, Cunningham, to mask his half-blood status. He eventually became a Death Eater, and his loyalty made the Dark Lord favor him. Luther was branded with the Dark Mark during the First Wizarding War, and remained loyal to the Dark Lord longer than most when he disappeared. Eventually he too gave up the notion of his master ever returning, and assimilated back into the world as best as he could. When the Dark Lord returned he immediately went back to his side, ready to be as loyal as ever. When the Muggleborn Registration Act was established, Cunningham helped his younger, bastard sister, Lilly, go into hiding for although she happened to have magical blood like him, she was a product of an affair between Luther's father and a mistress, making her muggleborn. The Dark Lord eventually found out about this betrayal, however, and made sure that Luther was present when she was sentenced to life in Azkaban on account of being muggleborn, in addition to evading the Dark Lord. After witnessing his sister, who he was very close to, dragged away by Dementors to be taken to Azkaban, Luther's allegiance to the Dark Lord was shattered. How could he have any loyalty to someone who'd put his innocent, fragile sister into Azkaban? He began to see the Dark Lord for what he truly was; a monster. He's heard rumors that the Order still exists in some form, and has made it his duty to find them, and join them to put an end to the Dark Lord's run of terror, and rescue Lilly from Azkaban before she becomes the lifeless shell that Dementors are so famous for creating.
