Name: Damian 'Ian' Jackdaw

Appearance:

Age: 17

Year: Sixth

House: Gryffindor

Short bio: Damian was born in America, a half-blooded boy raised in a bad neighborhood, somewhere between the borders of Texas and Arkansas. His father was a magical wizard - a former Auror, to be more specific, while his mother was a simple muggle housewife. Life growing up wasn't easy. He was often picked on at school, for no reason other than the fact that the bullies were idiots, and quickly learned to fight with his fists, feet, head, elbows, knees...practically everything. Magic didn't really interest him, but when he tried, he got his first spell done correctly, marking him as a naturally talented wizard - much to his stoicness, and his father's happiness.

However, Damian was busy with MMA and Boxing lessons - even at a young age, he was taught beginner stuff, but, at the age of ten, something happened...even he couldn't help. His father was gone on some Britian wizarding business, and an infamous gang in their neighborhood crashed the party. Long story short, unthinkable things were done to his mother while he was on the floor, half-knocked out and bleeding from fractures and broken bones...in the end, his mother was killed.

It was abrupt, insane, and brutal...but it happened. This marked the start. When his dad came, Damian was sent to Britain - as an American Exchange Student, to go to Hogwarts. Apparently, that's why his dad left. His dad became distant after that, and they never really talked much. Damian continued to take MMA and boxing lessons, and practiced magic so that, when his fists couldn't do the talking, curses could. He promised that he would never let anything like that happen to anyone close to him again.

Personality: Damian can come off as a rough, unfeeling boy, having suffered quite a bit of sad events in his life, early on. This gives him a tough outer-shell, and has ignited his rebellious streak; he's independent, not easily making emotional connections, but this has also made him focused, headstrong, and determined - while also being protective of the friends he has. It's rather easy for him to get annoyed, but rather than throwing a hissy fit, he tends to either act violent, or put the anger into training. This makes him rather ambitious, which is why, combined with his quick-thinking and reflexes, makes him ingenious in stressful situations.

It's easy for others to get intimidated by the American, especially due to his gruff demeanor and blunt ways of getting things straight, and he will not take any crap from anyone. Despite all of his callousness, however, Damian is inwardly kind towards the 'nicer' people, and will help when he sees bad things happening to good or semi-good people. The kindness is gruff as if he's reluctant to show compassion. He can also be cheerful when either drunk, or happy about some success - successful pranks, for instance. Tends to smirk when things go his way, as well.

Wand: Fir wood wand, Dragon Heartstring core, 12 1/2 inches.

Hobbies: Flying on his broom - Quidditch, to be more specific. He's incredibly good as a Seeker, and has been scouted by official wizarding teams ever since his third year. || Practicing the more practical magic arts, and perfecting them; Most are afraid to duel with the brusque American...his over-charged Reductos are very scary. || Exercising, something most wizards don't do. Magic is fine and all, but lifting weights and sprinting up hills tends to get the blood flowing.

Pets: A magical lion cub called 'Leo'. It has the physical appearance of a regular lion cub, but as it grows - which it does a bit faster than normal, it's size will become noticeably larger than any other muggle lions. It's hide will also be magic resistant as it grows.

Personal possessions: Depending on the time of the RP, Damian has his personal riding broom, bought after quite a bit of hard work, and some funding from his parents, along with the sponsorship of a Wizarding Quidditch Team that wants to see him succeed; he has the Firebolt Supreme, hailed as the greatest racing broom in the 21st century. He also has some less than legal items, easily disguised. For instance, the ring on his left and right hands will actually turn into brass-knuckles once a sliver of magic is siphoned into them. He also has a map, which was, once again, funded by a bunch of hard work and odd jobs; a map enchanted by some guy in France, which allows him to see the presence of anyone within a certain distance around him, along with their names.

Hey, @Tip, do you prefer anime pics over real ones?

@Travesty

No, I actually don't favour either of them! I use anime pics sometimes, and I think they're cool. If you wish to use an anime pic, feel free to do so!

This is it for now.

I think it might be a good idea for those who are in 6th year or higher if any 7th year to list what classes they are taking because all the older students are in classes together.

Not sure about other subjects but Nick's probably taking Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and may be some elective classes on Alchemy too if other students are willing to take it with him. And if I remember right, 6th year is the start of Apparition classes? Another elective course I suppose, Nick's definitely going to take that too.

What year is this taking place btw?

Here's my dude. He's a Perfect, by the way.

David is taking Transfiguration, Defence, Charms, Alchemy, Ancient Runes and Magical Theory. I'm not actually sure apparition classes are considered electives, as in I don't think you get graded for them/do them all year long. Not entirely sure though.

I will be doing a Hufflepuff with goals of world travel as his next step after school. I have him also being a prefect as well. He isn't going to be an airhead, but more along the lines of a low stress enjoy the current situation sort of personality type.

It's still very rough but I thought I'd grab a spot

NAME : Aella Arcane



BLOODLINE : Pureblood
AGE : 16
YEAR : 6

HOUSE : SLYTHERIN
BIO : Born in Wales in the family manor "Mountain Flower" on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to Gwyner and Loff Arcane. Her mother is 74 and her father 92.

Aella is the youngest child of the Arcane Family. She has three siblings the youngest of which is 25 years her senior. Raised by servants and treated as an unwanted burden Aella has little love of her family as she's very much raised herself.

At school she's been a different sort of Slytherin who doesn't use fear as a tool but by understanding those around her by careful observation and an unusual empathy usually absent in her housemates.

Also unlike her sisters of the serpent has thrown herself into presenting herself as helpful to the teachers and staff. None can recall Aella ever using magic to torment weaker students in fact coming to the defense of a few. This is not to say that Aella has never used magic on anyone for she has and does when she's offended with her favorite spells being charms followed by hexes..

Her parents while distant are demanding always expecting Aella to conform to their every command. During the summer break she has been tutored since she was 11 by various wizards and witches making Hogwarts a chance to relax for her.

PERSONALITY : Aella is ambitious as well as driven to succeed so that she may escape her family and it's control on her. She hates potions classes saying if she needs to cook she'll hire one which explains why her grades are only good enough to pass. In DADA and Charms she is obsessive about owning every book she can find no matter the price or questionable origins. Rebellious against her parents she has actually cultivated a taste for many forms of Muggle Music often times playing them on her piano or one of many boom box systems she hides around the manor and grounds.

Aella has always loved annoying her parents sensibilities and even embarrassing them in front of guests once going so far as inviting muggle boy to dinner who had the memory erased from his mind.

Vindictive Aella rarely acts suddenly unless forced to instead preferring a calculated stealth attack. Once committed to the attack though she is brutally efficient and sadistic.

@Kirah

Yes, I think we should do that. Also, it is taking place in the year 2014, purely because a lot of things happened in the wizarding world that year.

I had a brief look at everyone's CS, and they look good to me! I'll look over them in more detail later today, keep strong guys!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Aaaand the link is up guys! It is a bit brief, but only because you guys know your stuff! Find it here:
