He Gets Sweaty in those you know?

Pick

One

Holding up a figure of 5'11", and having a weight of around 175 pounds, Archion seems to be an intimidating person as he gives off the air of 'Care-Free', 'Energetic' and 'Bubbly'. Adapting his posture from occasion to occasion, he prefers the more feminine 'L' posture or the one with one arm holding the other while its hanging down despite the two being more feminine. He also seems to never stay in one place or stay still as he is always seen moving around the room and starting every step with a burst of energy when he has some. He’s also is always seen smiling and never having a negative emotion spread upon his face keeping it relatively positive or neutral most of the time. However, on occasion you catch him scowling, rolling his eyes or sighing sadly before brightening up to talk to someone.

Short bio
Being the oldest son of the two couple, Peter Harkness and Naomi Harkness, he was an adopted child to the two couples who couldn't birth their own children due to complications so they adopted. His parent's didn't know much about Archion's past or his parents as it was shrouded in mystery where he was from. He was abandoned as a child at the Firefighter Station, where he was taken in and put into the system where he went from family to family. He however, eventually found a home for himself and was starting to settle down living a normal life with just the three of them. When the letters began coming, were more or less neutral about their adopted 'child' being a wizard, as he latter found out that his mother was a squib who knew of what the letters were for. She had the appropriate friends that she knew and trusted to give their son to, so Archion could collect his supplies for school until he was old enough.

Growing up with Hogwart's supplies available to him, Archion was a very avid pupil who was studious and a book worm. Yet, he was the perfect blend of brains and charm, being able to be smart while being a pretty outgoing and social person. This caused many problems for the Sorting Hat, as it was shortly turned into a 5 and a half minute hatstall, debating between him and the hat on which house was best for him. Deciding it was best, the Ravenclaws was spared from the boy and placed into the Hufflepuffs despite his impressive intelligence, as his social skills were the deciding factor of the decision. Despite the hat's, final say in the sorting Archion didn't mind as he soon got permission for the usage of the Time Turner, allowing him to take more classes in a day than one can imagine. The amount of time he had spent rewinding he has already forgotten but it wouldn't surprise him if he already rewinded up to several months worth of time. He had always used the Turner's magic responsibly for the most part, with the exception always being here or maybe there in a long while but besides that he always used it for his studies and classes. However, his constant travels back in time often leaves him drained with the amount of classes he volunteered to take, he is often spending his spare time sleep when not studying or going to classes.

Personality
Archion is an outgoing person who likes socializing with real people but prefers to socialize over the internet where he can talk to anyone in the world, however no technology in Hogworts so too bad for him. He also hates being doubted wrong by his friends and other people and easily holds grudges on people, however feigns it off with a mask that he wears nicely to hide his opinions about them, always looking to be a happy individual. His ability to hide his emotion is a good thing however it can amount to bad results, as he often holds them in instead of releasing it and confronting making him get into trouble more when it all just... pops. When he is not on the web or speaking to his friends his most common hobby that he likes to do is read and be alone. He has a blend of both halves, almost perfectly between and introvert and extrovert maintaining good relationships whip leaving enough time for himself as well. However, he is always seen out of breath but dismisses it as nothing to most people, not wanting them to worry about him but sometimes is mistaken for not wanting others to pry in his life.

Why am I amazing?
Umm, I have a Time Turner Duh?!

[Asuu]

I've been rather curious about Runes and Alchemy. I'm guessing Runes are 'permanent', more 'advanced' Charms? And alchemy is basically an advanced Potions class?

[Remram]

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Runes
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy

[Asuu]

Yeah, lol, I read 'em. I was still a bit confused. But, Runes don't seem like they hold any practical value, other than translating olden texts, so Damian may not evne bother with it. Hm...

Alchemy, he will stick with.

[Remram]

@Asuu Well that is what ruins are as for Alchemy it is covered in the sixth year of Hogwarts in potions class.

[ScarlettWaters16]

@Tatsua Aiisen Are you? Cuz I'm editing the list right now.

[Remram]

By the way, is the picture I replaced for Sylvester's appearance good?

[Asuu]

It's good.

I'll just keep Damian's classes as they are now. I guess Runes would be important knowledge, if he goes with his future occupation of an Auror. Either that, or a Professional Quidditch Player.

[The Muse of Eru]

Any other Hufflepuffles want to set up a relationship? Beyond the basic acknowledgement of fellow housemates. I guess that goes for everyone else too. Antagonistic relationships or something. Yuuh?

[Pie Flavor]

@The Muse of Eru

Sure I dont mind... when I get accepted...

Yeah...I should've placed an epilepsy warning on that.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Runes would be like learning Latin in school. Not all that useful, unless you're a doctor or Hermione.

Name - Devin Coal
Age - 27
Position - Care for Magical Creatures

Short bio

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa Devin has had a life full of adventure. His family is completely muggle born save for his great great great great grandfather. Needless to say everyone was surprised, but thankfully supportive. A magical school in South Africa helped with bringing David into the world of magic. After seven years with a specialty in Care for Magical Creatures Devin left to work for the magical community in Africa.

During his time in Africa Devin worked with both muggle NGO’s and the International Magical Creature Protection group. He was able to travel all over Africa protecting both muggle and magical creatures from greedy poachers. He loved his work, but found it depressing that no matter how hard he worked the job wasn’t seeing any results other than temporary.

While traveling for a conference Devin met the former Care For Magical Creatures for Hogwarts. The immediately hit it off and after some convincing the two decided they would conduct a career swap. The change in pace is something Devin is excited for and after getting the green light from the IMCP and Hogwarts he packed his things and began a summer trip traveling slowly towards Hogwarts.

Personality

Friendly, adaptable, action-oriented. A "Doer" who can be often focused on immediate results. He lives in the here-and-now, absolutely a risk-takers who lives a fast-paced lifestyle. Can grow impatient with long explanations. Extremely loyal to his peers, but not usually respectful of laws and rules if they get in the way of getting things done. Great people skills.

Wand: Yew, 10” Fire Lion Mane Hair
Patronus: Giant Eagle
Hobbies: Birding - Hiking - Animals
Pets: Numerous

Relationships

Since Devin grew up and went to school in South Africa he has little to no relationships with students or teachers at Hogwarts.

Note Why am I awesome? cause :P

[Esterdi]

I'd think runes are pretty important of a linguistic tool since many of the jobs one can have in the wizarding world require recognition/decription/knowledge of ancient lore. Also, I think all students that are purebloods should learn runes just on the principle that their Most Ancient Houses have archives that date back lots.

They're also good for highly competitive students that are bored and have time on their hands to prove themselves better than each other.

Alchemy is advanced Potions, approximately.

[RumikoOhara]

Think of all the hidden knowledge that would most likely be written or hidden in Runes

[Tip]

@World Traveler

He's fine!

@Pie Flavor

Accepted.

@IrishAngelQueen

Excuse me, but why have you posted your CS in the characters tab? That is extremely rude.

[Ciphra]

@ScarlettWaters16

Um for your list (Just now catching up so still haven't read through the posts entirely so if this is pointless then sorry lol) of classes and students within them, you did leave out Michael lol, I just got him in the Character Bin so I'm assuming that's why?
