M A G I C

blood status ➵ halfblood.

wand ➵ Aspen, White River Monster Spine core, 12 inches, unyielding.

Pottermore, Ollivander: Wand-quality aspen wood is white and fine-grained, and highly prized by all wand-makers for its stylish resemblance to ivory and its usually outstanding charmwork. The proper owner of the aspen wand is often an accomplished duellist, or destined to be so, for the aspen wand is one of those particularly suited to martial magic. An infamous and secretive eighteenth-century duelling club, which called itself The Silver Spears, was reputed to admit only those who owned aspen wands. In my experience, aspen wand owners are generally strong-minded and determined, more likely than most to be attracted by quests and new orders; this is a wand for revolutionaries.

Aspen  ➵ ‘yearning for justice’ comes out as them being executors; adaptability is core trait; least associated with death compared to poplar and black poplar; communication comes easy for them; highly aware of own mortality; elemental composition is primarily fire and ice based; talent for charmwork, dueling, martial magics, ancient rituals and magics; best subjects include charms, defense against the dark arts, history of magic, ancient runes and arithmancy; aspen wand owners work best in groups and are energised by the presence of other people.

Pottermore, Ollivander: American wandmaker Thiago Quintana’s harvesting of White River Monster spines initially raised concerns of over-fishing, but because he was the only one who knew how to lure the creatures, the ecological impact was not severe. They were no longer used as a wand core after Quintana’s death (in new wands), as he took the secret of luring the creature to his grave. This core produces spells of force and elegance.

White River Monster Spine  ➵ often choose masters who are steady, observant and passionate, who choose what is right over what is easy, are unafraid of hard work and enjoy challenges but also stubborn, stubborn enough to feel like they have to go it alone even when they don’t have to and have strong instincts that make it difficult to accept being told to stop when they believe they’re in the right, are self-sacrificing and far too willing to play martyr, good at adapting to tragedy and putting aside their own feelings, highly attached to certain places and people and will defend them to their utmost ability; masters are often sensitive to people’s and creature’s vibrations and are good at judging the intentions of others and their presence in general and if trained could be able to distinguish between vibrations of different creatures, at highest level this would bean differentiating individual being’s vibrations; elemental composition of this wand is water and plant based, with earth as secondary element; talent in magic with transformation, travel, protection, regeneration, agriculture and sensing; best areas of magic include transfiguration, herbology, defense, magical creatures and potions (divination may be too overwhelming for them); ivory, navy blue and black ripples are emitted during spellwork and magic smells of algae, water lilies and a tang of apple cider vinegar; possesses ability to self-heal after being injured; highly attuned to owner’s favorite places and can act as a compass, pointing their owner towards home.

Ellie, McKinnon lore: Aspen and White River Monster Spine is a very rare, if nigh on impossible to find, combination. Quintana took the secret of acquiring the spines to his grave, and no other attempts since his death in 1934 have ever been successful. Only 3% of his wands were ever created pairing the core with Aspen. Some years before his death, the then 74 year old Chalmers McKinnon purchased 6 of Quintana’s wands - one Aspen, one Poplar, one Lilac, one Sycamore, one Sea Buckthorn, & one Black Locust - at the request of his wife, noted Seer Ismene McKinnon, all of which were ended up locked away in the McKinnon family vault until the newest generation of McKinnon’s turned 11 and were able to attempt to find their match. Until Marlene came along, only two of the wands ever found their master - her father, and her aunt, Iola. The rest of the wands still remain unclaimed, and after her father and her aunts deaths, both wands were buried with them.

Combination  ➵ makes for an excellent and complementary combination; the owner is a passionate revolutionary who are never content with the state of things and are persistent and steadfast in their desire to change the world around them; reliable wixes who perform best under pressure, who are strong willed and refuse to back down from just about anything, which is especially true if they are defending or protecting something or someone; good at compartmentalizing and focusing on a mission to the point that people can believe they are cold and unfeeling but the opposite is much closer to the truth as they put their all into their beliefs, often stretching themselves thin, are horrid on relying on others and will work themselves to the bone if permitted; martyr complex is woven through their very being; observant, not much gets past them, and are excellent judges of character like a ‘human sneakoscope’; can be excellent leaders or followers if they are being led by someone they consider competent; don’t care much for material objects; excellent reflexes and above average pain tolerance; elemental composition of this wand is fire, ice, water and plant based; talent in magic with transformation, rituals, travel, protection, regeneration, agriculture, vibrations, dueling and charmwork; overall an excellent all-around wand; silver, black and periwinkle ripples are emitted from this wand during spellwork and its magic smells of snow, water lilies and cinders; works well in all temperatures and does not need special products for hot temps like other aspen wands; when grouped with other aspen wands they will communicate with one another and can perform group spells if required; core is territorial against other white river monster cores and the cores feed into each other during duels (the longest duel of such endured for 12 straight hours); has the ability to self-heal after being injured; wand can act as compass.

patronus ➵ Hippocampus.

animagus ( would-be ) ➵ Horse ( Thessaly breed; white with grey dopples ).

T L ; D R 

Gryffindor 1978. Seeker (‘73-‘78), Wizards Chess (‘73), Duelling Club (‘74-‘78). Graduated (mostly) with O grades and despite a less than stellar detention record.

Eldest child of Sebastian & Clothilde, older sister to Alexander, Ambrose and Iris McKinnon. She was taught piano at a young age, though Iris had more musical talent than Marlene ever did, and Alexander used to pretend he knew how to play the bagpipes, when he did not. Alexander and Ambrose were a Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively, and Iris was sorted into Hufflepuff. (She’s always been fiercely protective of Iris - she once punched someone who called her a duffer.)

Parents are Clothilde (Hilde) and Sebastian, Hilde being a former Healer (having retired after giving birth to Marlene) and Sebastian remaining a high profile Cursebreaker until April 1980 and his untimely death. Hilde often referred to Marlene as her ‘wilder’ child, though Alexander and Ambrose were both plenty wild in their own ways and often roped Marlene in on their games and vice versa. Sebastian was very proud of his children - he considered them the best of him, and he was open about it, to a fault.

She’s very proud of her family. She always has been. Being sorted into Gryffindor only bolstered it - she’s proud to take after her father, to be like him in so many ways that infuriated her mother almost to no end (and also endeared her to the same extent, too). It was there that she met her other family - the only family that she now has left. She didn’t like them all, not at first, but she loves them, deeply, down to her bones.

She came out when she was 15. She’d been caught behind the greenhouses with her hand down Florence’s blouse when they’d been caught by Sprout - which ended with her nearly knocking all of them out with the potted Mandrake she was holding and, also, two weeks detention for skipping class. She wasn’t scared, really, to tell her friends - she was more apprehensive about what her brothers would say. (Her first kiss with a boy was with a fellow Gryffindor.)

A couple of months after that incident, Marlene’s father died - the details she was given were sketchy, and she was the one who had to forced her way into being there when her siblings were brought out of class to be told about it. The only person she let see her cry the day they buried her father was her aunt Iona. Her mother needed her to be strong for the funeral, her siblings needed her to keep them together (especially poor Iris), and she refused to let them down.

She once made the girls - Mary, Lily and Dorcas - promise that they’d be friends forever. It’s gotten a little harder to keep that promise over the years, but she loves them - and the boys (men, now) - more fiercely than she loves almost anyone else in her life, even if it’s all so much more complicated now than it had been when they were at Hogwarts, when they were just children, not people forced to grow up too fast, to fight a war.

For Marlene, graduation couldn’t come soon enough, but then tragedy struck: her favourite aunt died after there was an attack on her and her husband’s home. The grief was too powerful for her to put into words. The anger and confusion she felt, the blame she felt was on not only Alastor but herself for being too slow to answer the call for help (despite not being law enforcement at the time). It was all devastating for her, and led to somewhat of a downward spiral for several months.

She applied in December 1978 to be a Hit Wizard under then Head Archwilt, having been a bartender for a few months in self-imposed exile (she refused to see her favourite uncle Alastor when all she could feel when she looked at him was that he was to blame) - when she was accepted, she, of course, got blackout drunk and woke up in Hogs Head. (She has since developed somewhat of a rapport with Aberforth.) (He would not entirely agree, but begrudgingly allows her to stick around on her days off. She enjoys the time with his goats.)

More recently, her younger-but-eldest brother, Alexander, just a month after graduating and being accepted to become an Unspeakable, disappeared without a trace. They searched and searched and searched - Marlene all but begging the Auror Office to keep the case open, but nothing, yet, has been found. Suffice to say, it’s a blow that Marlene doesn’t think she’ll ever fully recover from. The Order has been more than a safety net for Marlene: it’s the one place where she feels like her grief, her anger, her heartbreak, is even being heard anymore.

full name: sirius orion black 

nickname(s): siri, padfoot

fc: deaken bluman

dob: 2nd november

age: 21

gender: male

sexuality: pansexual

house: gryffindor

blood status: pureblood

patronus: a black dog, the same as his animagus form

occupation: owner of a bar called ‘The Grim’ in London

side: the order

bio:

born on november 1st to orion and walburga black, sirius was privileged since birth. being the heir to one of the more respected pureblood families meant that there was a giant weight on his shoulders and he felt that from a very young age. ever since he could talk he was told how to act and what was respectable behaviour in his parent’s eyes. he never really got the chance to be a child. but he never really blamed his parents for that. he blamed the traditions that came with being a pureblood. he hated the coldness of it all. all he really craved for was affection, though he barely got any.

but he tried his best to stay out of trouble and keep himself in line. even as he sat at family events bored out his mind he knew better than to misbehave. it wasn’t worth his mother’s wrath or his fathers disapproving look. he was a fairly quiet kid. other than a few snarky remarks here and there he really didn’t give his parents a reason to believe he would be anything other than the perfect heir they were raising him to be.

it was exceptionally lonely, however. other than his brother and his cousins he didn’t have that many friends. and living at grimmauld place was extremely isolating. he couldn’t just go out and play with the nearby kids cause they were “filthy muggles” according to his mother. some might question why his family choose to live beside muggles if they were apparently beneath them but sirius never did. so he spent his time in the library reading and teaching himself spells.

growing up his father was the person he looked up to the most. he loved spending time with him. and his main goal when he was little was to hear his father say he was proud of him.

he never did.

having spent most of his younger years surrounded by pureblood that all had the same beliefs on purity as his parents sirius’s view on others was somewhat swayed by them. but, as he grew older, he started to question why exactly where they better than others? yes, their blood was more “pure” but he didn’t really understand why that made them any superior. he spent more of his free time reading and a lot of the books he read were by half-bloods or muggle-borns and they seemed just as intelligent as any pureblood he knew. it was confusing to him. but he made sure to never question it out loud.

sirius’ first day at hogwarts was both the best and worst day of his life.

it was the best day because he met three people that would soon mean the world to him: james potter, remus lupin, and peter pettigrew. all three of them would play an important part in how sirius became who he ultimately was supposed to be. they taught him there was more to life than pureblood galas and acting like the respectable pureblood male who’s only job in life is to make sure he carries on the family name. they taught him to have fun, they brought out his mischievous side and brought him out of his shell. some might argue that sirius becoming more confident is a bad thing. but sirius wouldn’t change it for the world.

it was the worst day because he got sorted into gryffindor.  

he knew from the second the hat shouted out gryffindor that he was in trouble. he couldn’t remember a member of his family that wasn’t in slytherin and so he had made his way to the lion’s table with trembling hands. he had hoped he would have at least some time to deal with the sorting on his own. but the very next morning he had a letter from his mother saying how this must be a mistake. that he doesn’t belong in gryffindor and that they would sort it. but, deep down he knew he did belong there. deep down he knew he wouldn’t fit in with the other slytherin’s, he just didn’t want to admit it. and so he had ignored the letter and when mcgonogal had spoken to him about it the next day he told her everything was fine and he was happy being in gryffindor.

he sometimes regretted that decision even to this day.

something seemed to change in sirius’s mind the longer he was at hogwarts. the more time he spent with other wizard and witches from different backgrounds the more he realised that his families views were ridiculous. and with the war brewing, he knew he’d have an important choice on his hands. he’d have to choose between the friends he has made and the family that could destroy him if he left.

the choice came the summer before the start of his sixth year. his parents had finally had enough of his antics and sat him down to tell him they had decided he was to join the death eaters and finally make them proud. he was told that voldemort would be happy to have the black heir on his side and that he would be joining the war on his side. for the first time in his life, sirius was terrified. and he didn’t even think before he left in the middle of the night with just a bag of clothes and the money he had hidden in his room. he ran away in the night without a single world to anyone.

he never wanted to leave his family behind. especially not his brother. but he didn’t have a choice. he couldn’t be who they wanted him to be. he couldn’t follow down the path they had taken. he loved them but that just wasn’t enough. the war was wrong. and he could never stand on the side that harmed others just for existing. even if it broke a part of him to leave.

he never told anyone exactly why he had run away. though he had told his friends enough about his parents, and family in general, that he allowed them to come to their own conclusions and he doesn’t deny anything. but even though he felt resentment for those he was meant to call family and how he was treated in the end he couldn’t bring himself to tell anyone the truth. that betrayal was too much for him. and he didn’t want anyone knowing that his family were so lost in the wrong side they had officially joined the dark lords fight. he still had enough family pride to not let anyone go into azkaban just for his spite. he loved them too much to see them suffer. maybe he shouldn’t. but he couldn’t turn off that side of him.

part of him resented the war the most for driving him apart from his family.

his main goal now is to just move past everything and get on with his own life for the first time ever. he wants to fight for those that deserve a place in this world. he wants to prove that he is more than just his last name. so he used the money that his uncle alphard had left him after his passing to open up his own bar and create a space where everyone was welcome. he didn’t care if who walked through that door was a pureblood or a muggleborn, as long as they behaved and wanted a drink they were welcome. and it was a job much better suited to him than a ministry job would ever have been.

some wanted connections:

friends - other than the marauders obvs

sibling-like relationships

family friend - could still be on good terms or they could have heard of sirius’ disowning and turn their backs on him too

unlikely friendship - could be that they have been friends since they were little and even though they are polar opposites they just get on so well that they can’t not be friends

family members that don’t hate him are always a win

enemy - they have never gotten along and they will never get along and both are okay with this

frenemy - they hate each other but they are also kinda cool and if they hung out that would be awesome????

anything angsty tbh

woah , i think i just saw ANDROMEDA TONKS, née BLACK ! there’s been so much happening lately that i totally forgot about the PUREBLOOD but i am glad to see HER still around . they always had wanted to be A MEMBER OF THE ACCIDENTAL MAGIC REVERSAL SQUAD , i wonder how that’s going. the last i heard about them was that they might be involved with NO ONE ( for now ) , but i’m not sure how true that is. besides, they always seemed NURTURING and SELF - RELIANT . although , now that i think about it they were also ADAMANT and DECEPTIVE . still the SLYTHERIN alum always reminded me of THE DRAW by BASTILLE and A THOUSAND AND ONE HALF - WRITTEN LETTERS NEATLY STACKED INSIDE A BOX UNDERNEATH THEIR BED, NEVER TO BE SENT, NEVER TO BE READ / "BUT I AM A STAR. I FEEL THAT I AM A STAR. SHATTERED. I AM A SHARD OF GLASS ON THE GROUND." / THE PERFECT POSTURE OF SOMEONE WHO WAS TAUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN, WHO STILL STANDS AS BETTER THAN . i hope they haven’t changed too much !

BACKGROUND

being in the middle was comfortable. not their father's heir, nor their mother's doll, andromeda realized early on that in her unique position, she received all of the perks that accompanied her most notorious surname, and little of its scrutiny. no one cared much if she acted out and did some illegal magic in her room before even getting her wand, and no one could say a thing. she was a black, after all.

not to say her family was a happy one. andromeda never saw her parents content or even polite with one another, and her aunt's household wasn't any better — another thing andromeda learns early on is not to depend on the adults' approval, and especially not their affection, but it was a whole other thing when it came to her sisters and her cousins. if their parents were pious believers of aristocratic neglect, andromeda made sure to disappoint and go against that, careless of any possible implication; it wasn't that she was soft (then, few could get away with not getting a punch by calling her that) but she cared for them, she loved them, she listened to them. if any of them needed hugs or a gentle smack of a wake up call or help with spells or some gossiping, there she was. it was for her as much as it was for them, too.

the sorting hat took a moment too long in deciding where she should sleep — if with the snakes or the badgers — and andromeda grinned as her robes shone emerald, and she went to join bellatrix on the table. there was no doubt where she belonged — being a slytherin was her blood right, and she shared much of their tendencies, believing in the speech repeated so often, in her superiority. truth to be told, she had never experienced anything different until hogwarts, and the exposure intensified her curiosity and a streak of rebelliousness that was built on her knowing very well she'd get away with it. and she did get away with a ghastly bad grade or two, and sleeping during class due to a hangover after drinking all night with her roommates, and for arguing a bit too loud with a classmate, and for cursing another for saying a bad word about a friend. andromeda couldn't exactly care if her impunity was fair or not, as long as she and her own were not affected by it.

and if her own, at times, included someone whose lineage was more muddled than hers, whose business was it? she would grow out of it, it was said. as long as she did everything else right, it did not matter if she rubbed elbows with a mudblood to pass a class; that is andromeda for you, in the end she knows where she belongs. and well, she did. she attended pureblood feasts, no matter how boring they were, she took a job in the ministry in the department her father wanted and she even agreed to marry the perfect pureblood man her mother wanted her to.

and then she got pregnant. not of her perfect pureblood fiancee, but of her adoring muggleborn boyfriend — not for a second andromeda thought her parents would accept it, and she did a great job at pretending she couldn't give a rat's ass about being burned off the wall, and she did already have jewelry packed to run, just in case, but what really, really hurt was to lose her sisters. andromeda thought herself fit for independency, able to argue her way out of whatever situation and to stand by her own thoughts, but it was a way of underestimating how much she depended on bellatrix and narcissa, how much their love and trust and presence in her life meant to her, and how their absence aches. for the first time in her life, truly, andromeda has to handle consequences for her actions and she hates it. why must she choose one or the other? why can't she have ted and the baby and her sisters? suddenly being in the middle is not so fun anymore.

however people whisper about her now, disgust and horror at andromeda tonks rather than reverence and respect at andromeda black, she learns to ignore it. she is too proud to hide or cower or give into the shame they wish her to feel; instead, she comes back to the ministry, as soon as she can find someone reliable to keep up with nymphadora, to work on a different department finding that her job is not a step down from a promising political career but a good agreement between her nosiness, her need to be present and useful and the day to day of a rambunctious child as her daughter is. she doesn't want to be like her own parents, and unlike the black house, andromeda is content to announce, to anyone who asks, that the tonks house is a home ( and truly, there is little else she wants to do at the end of the day but to snuggle by her husband's side or have a meal together, the three of them ).

though she has not given up her privilege entirely, nor the prejudice that at times still sticks to the back of her head, andromeda has acknowledged much of it, and actively tries to make some sort of amends to it. she believes the order's kids are brave and their ideals interesting, and she certainly wouldn't accept her husband or her daughter being called slurs, but however one may put it, it would be too reckless to entirely devote herself to their cause when she has a child at home and a husband that is, regardless of his capability to protect himself, a target to pureblood ideals. not to mention, what if she has to go against any of her own — the ones she had grown with, had enjoyed herself with, shared blood with? she can not think of it, refuses to think of it. if she has to acquiesce to being in the middle, for the sake of her own, then so fucking be it.

last one for a really long while i promise …. but i’m here ( it’s a-me, bean ) with a cutie patootie for you all ! meet valerie josephine nott, aka val or vivi, and she’s fierce with a capital F and is not afraid to pick a fight with you even if it’ll chip one of her manicured nails. a friend to many but an enemy to those who envy her, here’s a little more of what you might wanna know about her under the cut !

eldest child of jasmine and hosier nott, squibs from wizarding families that were pretty much overjoyed when they found out val was going to hogwarts.

she’s began training for healing, but valerie was a prodigy in herbology and care for magical creatures and even has a recommendation in place from the school nurse for a place at st. mungos.

easy on the eyes but plays hard to get, and is even harder to tie down. not one to take shit from other people.

you’ll likely find her at shops and wandering around muggle london, either shopping or catching up with her muggle friends.

she’s a pureblood, but one of her parents is a squib !

hates waiting around, prefers to take matters into her own hands because she’s an Independent Woman™.

was bullied as a child when she attended overseas for having a squib parent, but never backed down and almost Always ended up making them pay with her knowledge of magic and determination to win.

you’ll often find her in cute little dresses, and never leaves the house without a headband or ribbon in her hair.

a wholeass frappuccino lover, she just can’t get enough of the sweets :(

she always manages to get herself in trouble, whether she’s in hogwarts or otherwise. does a pretty decent job at as a healer, too. and she’s only just learning.

keeps her muggle life (where her parents choose to spend their lives in fear of corruption or otherwise) separate from her magical one, and finds herself often lying about where she’s been to her non-magic friends.

she loves animals ! wants to work at a magical zoo one day as a doctor, maybe even be a dragonologist.

stays up late for the sake of learning more about her patients and how to treat them, but not as unhealthily as corey KJSDHGKJS.

most of her friends are muggles, and she never has to send them owls, which gives her a reason to go outside whenever she’s not busy with work.

always tries to spend time with friends. she’s a people person.

has had a few relationships in the past, and almost all of them ended with her getting her heart broken, which is why now, she has trust issues with people that aren’t close to her.

a lawful evil, knows her place but isn’t afraid to cross it when things get out of hand or unfair.

nowadays, she’s much calmer, and relaxed because of her pathway but is still ready to take people head-on if they try to come for her.

a true cancer, she is not afraid to come for you especially if you mess with her emotionally.

never did the best in school, but is making up for it now with all the work she’s putting into her healing position.

sebastian stan. delsin rhodes, the 35 year old mentor from district 6 has just arrived at the capitol. he is the winner of the 58th hunger games and is dedicated to their tributes in the quarter quell. they won their game with a sword & brutality and are known to be dauntless &. caustic. they are apart of the uprising.

pre-hunger games

Delsin was born to a hard working father and a moprhling addicted mother. Due to an injury from work, his mother had used morphling for the chronic pain and couldn’t stop. 

He always had an estranged relationship with his mother, intentionally distancing himself from her since she was high most of the time and almost always in some sort of a daze. She had passed away from an overdose when Del was ten. He was the one that found her.

He gravitated toward his father, learning how to fix vehicles and other mechanics. Delsin was good at picking up on things quickly.

He excelled in his studies at school and had the potential to make something of himself in Six. He barely studied for his classes and still passed, and excelled when it came to exams and assignments. 

But he wasn’t one to really make friends; he may have had a few acquaintances in school, but he never got close enough to people to be friends. Which he was just fine with. 

Was reaped for The 58th Hunger Games when he was eighteen, and at first, Delsin was sure it was a death sentence. Training helped him hone his skills in hand-to-hand combat, as well as wielding a sword. His tinkering and skills in mechanics helped with traps, but his main focus was on fighting. And he was damn good at it.

The Careers noticed his skills, but didn’t feel inclined enough to extend him an invitation to their Pack. Del took that as a sign he was number one on their kill list.

His training score was a 9, one of the highest scores in his year-- just behind a couple members of the Career Pack. Further cementing his theory of his rank on the Career’s list of kills.

the 58th hunger games

Once the countdown hit zero, Del risked dashing toward the Cornucopia to grab a bag and maybe a weapon. The Careers were faster and he was unable to get a weapon.

His first kill had been a Tribute from Nine, who was armed with a sword. Del caught him in the middle of the night, weapon just out of his reach. Del strangled the kid to death with his bare hands. 

Other kills he made included the boy from Five, the girl from Nine, and the pair from Seven. He used his sword for those kills, cutting them down before slicing their throats, or stabbing them. Dell was very efficient with the sword.

The last few kills he made were against the remnants of the Career Pack: the boys from One and Two, and the girl from Two. It had been an intense fight, Del earning a few cuts from the girl’s knives on his arms and nearly getting his throat slit by the boy from One’s machete. Once Del had the upper hand, he slaughtered the pack with his sword, killing the girl from Two and the boy from One.

The boy from Two had been the biggest struggle, but Del had overpowered him in a struggle. Two tried to stab him in the throat with a knife, but Del had knocked the knife from his hands, rolling on the ground until he was above Two and, once again, used his bare hands to strangle him.

Delsin didn’t let go of the boy from Two’s throat until he heard his cannon go off, signaling Del’s victory in the 58th Hunger Games.

post-games

Delsin had been a popular Victor after his Games; brutality from a Tribute outside of the Career Districts had been a surprise to The Capitol. 

Despite the praise he received for his kills, Del constantly has nightmares of the kids he killed, the Tributes haunting him every time he tried to go to sleep.

Del suffers from PTSD from his Games and refuses to rely on any substances to cope with it [mostly stemming from seeing how out of it his mother was on morphling].

His PTSD tends to spark violent outbursts from him if he is triggered enough. He tends to lash out at anyone around him he feels is a threat to him, mostly it ends up being Peacekeepers.

Sometimes he’ll just beat up Peacekeepers because he thinks most of them are assholes that follow Snow’s every order. That gets him into trouble, whether it’s being locked up overnight, or being whipped and ‘made an example of’. It’s not enough to make Delsin behave; Snow already took away the one person that meant anything to him.

Snow had wanted to sell him off in the Victor prostitution ring, but Delsin told Snow where to stick it before storming out. A few days later, there was an accident at his father’s work and he was killed.

Delsin was devastated by his father’s death, but instead of keeping his head down and obeying Snow and The Capitol, it fueled his anger and resentment toward The Capitol. 

personality

Delsin is not a nice person, but he isn’t entirely cruel, either. He keeps himself detached and distant from people to avoid giving Snow something to hold over his head. 

Delsin can be charming; he won’t be so inclined to piss someone off if he likes them, or has to talk to sponsors to help his Tributes in the Arena. He’ll play nice for their sake, but it doesn’t mean he’s for The Games.

He’s civil toward the other Victors for the most part, unless they give him a reason not to be. If any of them are treated like garbage by Peacekeepers or other Capitolites, Del won’t hesitate to step in and knock those assholes down to size.

He despises the Hunger Games, hates how they still affect him and his psyche. And how they turn kids against each other, forcing them to kill each other for the sake of entertainment and crowd control. It’s disgusting to him.

Delsin is very intelligent. He still tinkers with mechanics in the Victor's Village in Six, but he's also very bright academically. Though he refuses to do anything for The Capitol, he still helps out around his District.

wanted connections

friends or enemies? I’d love for Del to have a small handful of friends among the Victors, or even enemies! even if there’s just a mutual understanding between them and they can just be civil with each other, I’m down for anything.

⋮⋮⋮  ✕ ˚ °  ‘   ---  brittany o’grady. kit ogden, the 19 year old from district 10 has just arrived at the capitol. she was reaped for the quarter quell and are quite handy in stealth and hand-to-hand combat. i’ve heard they are perspicacious & laconic, so those sponsors better keep an eye on them. they are apart of the uprising.

TW: DEATH,  TW: ANIMAL CRUELTY

what up,   is you casual neighbourhood gay kaz here,    bringing you this fun lump of a character bc brittany o’grady is beautiful  &   criminally underused.    i also love the hunger games,    especially canon divergent ones that make things more interesting. mmmkay that’s enough about me because i’m dull af,    on to kit.

kit ogden was born in an alleyway to a real young mother who had zero money.    given the tragic circumstances of the birth,    the mother died of blood-loss when the peacekeepers that found her didn’t think ‘oh let’s call a doctor’ because she was poor.     they took the kid and left her on a doorstep of a local farmhouse, owned by a woman who was notorious for taking in the gutter trash of ten.  

she got her name bc one of the peacekeepers wrote the word kid on a piece of paper to name her,  but his handwriting was so bad that when lysetta ogden found her she was like ‘oh her name’s kit!’ 

lysetta didn’t technically have any children,  she had a son but he died in the games decades before kit was born.  her husband couldn’t handle the loss and drunk himself to death.   lysetta always realised there were other things to do in life.  though she doesn’t see kit as her child,  she’s the closest thing she has. if you ignored the fact that her farmhouse was actually a slaughterhouse,   you’d think she was the sweetest woman.    has been a big supporter of the rebellion for pretty much the entire time.

they lived in a slaughterhouse/farmhouse/workhouse that was on the outskirts of ten,   so they were pretty much ignored a lot. because she was homeschooled, most people didn’t know kit existed until she started working at the slaughterhouse and delivering meat to butchers. 

so yeah, kit grew up working in the slaughterhouse to ‘earn her keep’ bc lysetta didn’t get paid to take her in.   there were a lot of people that couldn’t get work in the district working their too,  especially teens who needed to make money for their family so lysetta took them in so they didn’t have to take tessarae.  this wasn’t like a tragic thing,   she didn’t work them to death.   it was just what they had to do to keep things running.

yeah,   because they didn’t have a maternal relationship most of the emotional stuff kit got from herself.    she’s always been a real tomboy,    mostly bc the farm work.   her first love was a girl her age she used to see in the butchers.    that wasn’t like a real thing though.    then she met corin donnelly who was just a badass.    used to test waters by screaming ‘screw the capitol’ as loud as she could without anyone hearing. they both fell hard.  corin had more worldly experience than kit so she helped her understand things.   they went to their first reaping together when they were fifteen and just held each others hands so tightly.   neither of their names weren’t called.     then of course fate screws things over,    the next year corin’s name was called and kit had to be physically dragged away from her by peacekeepers.   of course not before screaming   ‘screw the capitol’   live on air.

corin died.    she made it to the last third of the game but just wasn’t strong enough to overpower strong career-types.  as she lay dying her words mouthed ‘screw the capitol’ so yeah, she is the reason kit is team rebels.

lysetta basically told her about a few rebel things whilst they were in the slaughterhouse working.  that was kits coping mechanism.   to kill animals and pretend they were capitolites.

she is not surprised she was reaped for the quell.   her outburst at corin’s reaping was pretty public.  though she’s going to try and not mention her at all.   play it off like ‘that wasn’t me idk what you’re on about’    even though she’s pretty mad.

personality wise she’s fun,   when she wants to speak,    she’s a pretty big observer type.   if she gets on with you then you’ll realise that she’s smart.    is very good at getting over things.    even corin’s death she’s pretty much over,     emotionally.    she’s team    ‘ i’m gonna remember her and be happy, because she always made me happy ‘

like bendelacreme she can often be terminally delightful but in a sarcy kind of ‘i’m not miserable so you shouldn’t be;

i didn’t go in to her skills bc   length,  but anything else you wanna know just hmu

plot wise i’m open to EVERYTHING .   please like this & i’ll sneak in to your ims.

zoe saldana. sparrow rye, the 39 year old mentor from district 11 has just arrived at the capitol. she is the winner of the 53rd hunger games and are dedicated to their tributes in the quarter quell. they won their game with agility and by being underestimated and are known to be stoic &. soft-spoken. they are not apart of the uprising. [[ ollie, 20, est, she/her ]]

BACKSTORY

--- sparrow was the third eldest ( or third youngest ) of five, with two brothers and two sisters.

--- she was reaped at 17. so close to making it out, yet so far.

THE 53RD GAMES

--- sparrow was MUCH like rue --- just a tad older, just a tad different motive. she was extremely agile, especially when it came to trees given her familiarity with working in the orchards. furthermore, her small size, district, and mediocre training score kept her under the radar of career tributes and others.

--- her arena was a set of rusting, creaking oil rigs in the middle of a turbulent sea. sometimes mutts in the visage of sharks frothed in the waves below, other days the sea whipped up into a freezing, horrific froth. it was nothing sparrow was familiar with, but the structures provided many handholds and small crevices. she kept to the underbellies of the rigs, light and skilled enough to travel beneath on the rusting bars while the larger tributes fought it out above.

--- food and water provided to be a much harder thing. the only food from the cornucopia and the sea if any dared to get close enough to the water. the only water from thunder and rainstorms and collected in murky puddles. but she was cunning, stole from the careers’ supply from underneath, and slowly survived.

--- it wasn’t until she was in the final six that she truly had to bring herself out from her hiding places, become far more clever. she memorized all the passages in the rigs, the rusting places, the WEAK places and she set traps with herself as the bait. it almost became simple: catch the sight of a career, let them give chase, run run run run run turn jump, grab onto a piece of metal to swing precariously out, let the career fall to their death ( push them, kick them if you need to ).

--- by the end of the games, she had lead four tributes to their watery graves. and sent another to his death from tetanus ( he was heavy scratched by rusting metal when he gave chase to her ).

VICTORY

--- as many know who live to see it, being crowned victor of the games is no honor at all. sparrow wasn’t that young for a victor at 17, but she looked much younger thanks to select genes and for this the capitol absolutely ate her up. this innocent looking thing with all the odds against her crowned victor as if she could signify the purity of the games. she had always been a quiet girl, but the moment she was retrieved from the arena, she drew even further into herself.

--- sparrow’s talent, her name as telling in that regard as her ability to climb trees, was singing. she had a beautiful voice and coupled with her sweet face, she charmed the capitol even further. people paid to see her sing in grand halls. then she turned 18 and other paid more for her to sing to them in private.

--- ( she had screamed the first time someone set hands on her --- two days later, her eldest brother lost his hand in an apple picker ).

--- sparrow’s young looks stuck with her even as she grew older, even as she toiled under snow and the capitol’s wishes. and yet, they wanted more. they needed her to have more allure beyond her lyrical voice and private performances... they wanted to change the face that looked back at her in the mirror.

--- she had never been vain, but she refused to be made to look like one of them. she’d still been young, in her mid-twenties with plenty of life and beauty left ( though one might question if victors truly ever LIVE ). three days later, there was an accident in the orchard. her youngest sister had slipped and fallen to her death. sparrow knew better though ( should have been thinking when she had REFUSED the surgery )...

--- the next day, she was taken to be changed. skin turned a lurid shade of green, hair moved to an unnatural gradient of purple at the bottom. she still doesn’t recognize the face in the mirror anymore. sometimes she wonders if that’s for the best.

MENTORING 

--- sparrow learned fast enough that getting attached to tributes was only setting yourself up for more pain in the end, but for years she still tried to help them. she did her best, told them the truth no matter how harsh, and worked to bring them sponsors.

--- after snow made her undergo her transformative surgery, sparrow felt herself become far more distant from her tributes and her district. at least while she looked like one of them, she could pretend just for a moment. but now, with features that could never hope to blend in except at the capitol, it was as if she lost the final piece to herself. sparrow withdrew, still never cruel to her tributes but much more distant from them -- though she doesn’t know if that’s more on her end or on their end because she looked like a capitol freak. the only benefit of it was that she was able to garner more sponsors for her tributes though it rarely did any good.

--- it wasn’t until the 74th games with rue ( and thresh to a degree ) that she found herself getting close to her tributes despite knowing nothing but twenty-two years of sending them to the death. having rue as a tribute for the 74th nearly broke her heart. there was so much of herself that she saw in her and though she knew her death an inevitable, she wishes there had been a way she could have saved her.

--- rue’s death ( and rue’s loyalty to katniss ) is also what puts her on much closer to the edge of joining the uprising, something she had mostly tuned out like everything else before.

[chmicalbvrns-blog]

hi guys! i’m ollie and this is alej. this intro felt like it took wayyyy too long to write so i might have to hold sparrow’s ( zoe saldana ) off until tomorrow yyeeett.

ivana baquero. alejandra guerrero, the 21 year old from district 8 has just arrived at the capitol. she was reaped for the quarter quell and are quite handy in chemical reactions and sabotage. i’ve heard they are adaptable &. brazen, so those sponsors better keep an eye on them. they are a part of the uprising. [[ ollie, 20, est, she/her ]]

DISTRICT 8: textiles --- “from the simple, lovely fabrics of the districts to the brocades favoured in the capitol, district 8 makes it all.”

BACKGROUND

--- the guerrero’s were always one of the better well off families in district 8. while both of her parents had humble beginnings, they both had possessed an agile mind that allowed them to move upward within the districts rankings. alej’s father worked in a lab that worked to formulate the dyes that went into various fabrics. How to make textiles last long, their colors brighter; how to make them look different in different light. her mother created threads, combined polymers to produce the softest textiles, the lightest fabrics, paper thin sheets of thread that could keep you warm in the coldest temperatures. between the two, the guerrero household was one of science and engineering and rather well off ( at least when compared to those mere factory workers ), both of their children never needing to apply for tesserae.

--- alej had one brother named milo who was four years her elder. the two were extremely close, especially with their parents off in the their respective labs much of the day. it was milo who taught alej much of her more wild ways, guerrilla tactics and sabotage during the districts more juvenile games of what modern day might consider a version of paintball ( the result of unusable dye from factories put into small rubber balloons ). despite their age gap, they made quite the team and often came away victorious. the peacekeepers only barely let them do engage in the game, considering it a means to keep kids from better off families under control when their parents would not let them or needed them to go into the factories.

--- when alej was eleven ( and milo fifteen ), he was reaped for the 65th games. and this is when her world started to come crashing down. the illusion had already begun to be cracked the first year milo had been eligible but his death brought everything into startling clarity --- especially since she would become eligible the next year. ( he was runner up, too. SECOND PLACE and last to be stabbed through the heart by finnick odair. and maybe that’s what hurt the most --- having all the HOPE that maybe, just maybe he’d come home again... shattered ). she watched the toll it had on their parents, and vowed that she would not leave them as well and set about to become as prepared for the possibility of reaping as possible. 

--- in the eve of milo’s death, she worked herself exhausted on so many physical activities. on throwing knives ( though she would never become elite at the skill, competent enough to hit a big enough target ), archery ( again, competent ), and wrestling where she could, though her size often left her down when it came matched for brute strength. only months after ( long after finnick odair was crowned victor ) did she finally take a step back to think, to remember, and slowly she began honing her cunning as well: sabotage and guerrilla tactics she’d engaged with her brother and other kids back in the abandoned factories at the edge of town.

--- when she was thirteen, she was allowed to join her father in his lab as a low-level assistant, shuffling from here to there. carrying this, documenting that. but she soon began to learn, building upon the basic concepts her father had taught her at home -- how dyes where made, how mixing two innocent looking liquids could produce a gas to knock someone out. it only dawned on her later that perhaps that is why she had been allowed to work there two years earlier than milo ( milo had only had mere months in the lab before his own reaping ).

--- alej’s 19th birthday came and went, and though she felt very different, it was as though a weight was lifted from her shoulders. she had survived her six years of reaping eligibility and her parents would not lose their only remaining child to the games.

--- MILO was also the reason for the guerrero’s to get twisted up in the business of the uprising. losing a child to the games had infuriated them, not broken them and so secretly both of her parents had begun research into tangential things related to their fields. most importantly: her father and his careful beginnings to develop chemical warfare. they tried to keep alej out of it as long as possible, but she eventually found out and refused to be left behind. milo had been her brother and his life and death had shaped so much of her own life. and so, she began quietly working alongside her father with his research and picked up a few shifts at one of the factories to bring in extra money for the family.

--- alej should have known that she would never be free from the games... hearing her name called as it had been in so many of her nightmares didn’t make it any better. but she went quietly and did not say a word, impassive on the stage as she watched the rest unfold as if in slow motion.

--- but perhaps, after all, this was exactly what she had been preparing for.

MISC

--- she goes by alej mostly. alejandra is only when someone’s mad at her or her callous boss. i headcanon that the district 8′s escort probably calls her alejandra and she silently seethes about it.

--- alej’s fingers are almost permanently dyed a multitude of colors: red, blue, green, orange, black...

--- alej is almost frighteningly adaptable. she’s like a chameleon in so many ways with the facades she’s able to parade through, able to sweet, able to be aloof, able to be grossly underestimated or to come out with a bite. at heart, she’s someone who wants to speak their mind with a bit of dry, cynical humor though TIME has taught her to keep that buried deep inside. right now, her outward facade to the capitol and her fellow tributes is that of a mild and agreeable girl. can’t go wrong with that? even if it makes her feel like she’s going slightly crazy inside

--- because of her upbringing, alej is a bit of a textile freak. she knows a lot about them and the dying process and is rather apt at creating her own clothing ( and some might even say she’s rather good at it ). perhaps, in another world as a result of a different set of events, she may have event ended up a stylist.

hewwo im glo & i haven’t written an intro in like a year so this is gonna be very... awkward jkdsajkasd but anyway im so excited to be here & explore how deliciously evil i can make my lucius 🥰 i know he is a bad, bad, bad man & i’m not planning to make him any more kind than the original works but he is my BABY BOY & i’m gonna try to give him a... soul?   

being abraxas malfoy’s only son and heir ( & later nobody would ever believe him this ) was the hardest challenge lucius had to face in his entire life. not the dark lord, not nearly losing his family, not azkaban. his own father.

see, abraxas malfoy wasn’t a cruel man, he’s never treated lucius badly but he was colder than ice and his words had the particular ability to cut through lucius like he was made of nothing

abraxas malfoy has never pushed blood purity on him, abraxas malfoy never tried to convince lucius of his own right, abraxas malfoy never attempt to force his son to do anything at all

and yet... lucius knew if he made a mistake, if he anticipated his father’s never expressed expectations wrongly, he would be faced something worse than any punishment

disappointment

and lucius hates to disappoint because malfoys do not disappoint and every fiber in his body is screaming to be the picture perfect malfoy his father never asked him to, but always expected him to be

it hardened him in a way i suppose: always being too much. to pretty, too rich, to arrogant, too selfish. always too much yet somehow, in some inexplicable way, never really enough to fulfil his own expectations

because do not think lucius doesn’t have this idealised version of himself set as a final goal, where he is everything they wanted him to be and more. it’s a laughable image, really, considering how hard self-control comes to him and how he has trouble finding his inner balance from time to time

see, lucius has the brains and the ambition and that deliciously cruel way of pulling the strings, but he is burdened by what he thinks is expected of him, what he thinks he has to be even though no one ever called him anything but impeccable 

and perhaps he isn’t perfect, but he is doing the best damn impression of it anyone has ever seen

information.

i’m gonna just do this in bullet points bc i’m lazy and have had a really long week so if it’s choppy.... i am so sorry u are just gonna have to deal w it KMSKSMK

seulki was born in seoul, south korea to a kang insoo, a wizard man, and kim eunbin, a vampire woman, seulki himself being her first born

he doesn’t remember much of his own father, the only image he has of him is his bloodied corpse after his mother ripped his throat out when he was five years old

she was a cruel woman is what he had learned from that moment on

most half-breeds are misunderstood creatures, but the kim line of vampires were the monsters they told u abt in horror stories, the ones that hid under ur bed and took u from ur room in the depths of the night

being descendants of vlad the impaler, yes he really was a vampire!, had death and destruction lacing through their veins, darkness and deceit wrapping around their bodies

growing up, he watched his mother give birth to three more children, all of which were full fledged vampires, unlike himself

at first, he never let it bother him, he was raised up to be a vampire, to let the magic gene within him go dormant. he fed off humans and shed the blood of other’s with the influence of his mother, but even being her puppet was never enough for her

secretly, she had always resented her falling in love with a wizard, a human, someone that wasn’t of their own kind. because she did actually fall in love with him, only to be blindsided by her own family, a powerful clan of vampires pulling who she was and who she had always been out of her

because of the resentment matted in between her bones, the anger and frustration of her family ruining her life, of insoo ruining her life, she began to see the human traits within seulki even more often than not, creating a drift and a barrier between the two of them

seulki was the eldest brother, the one who took it upon himself to help raise them, to protect them, to never let their bright souls be diminished by the thought that they were monsters. they loved him and he loved them, but his mother didn’t like that

she didn’t like how they cared for each other because they cared for each other  more than they cared for her. she was selfish, wanting the love she never was able to receive, wanted to feel smth for all that she didn’t

his mother hadn’t been fond of him for a while, only using him to do her bidding and while him and his siblings got closer and closer, she got angrier, knowing that they were each others’ heartbeats and she wasn’t included in that

so because of her selfish and deranged nature, she wanted to eliminate her younger children to cause torment to seulki. ganging up on the children one night with the intent to kill them, but she didn’t get as far as she wanted to

she severely injured her second oldest, giving a few scratches the the other’s before seulki came in, eyes black and charging towards his mother. it was a bloodbath after that, the two youngest pulling their sister to safety as they called for seulki

their cries and calls snapped him out of his loss of humanity and in front of him was his injured, but not dead mother unconscious. it was then that he took his chance, packing whatever he could that was valuable and fled with his siblings

they spent time spent a long time running, bouncing from city to city more bloodshed falling onto seulki’s hands to protect the only people he held dear to him and he would do anything for them.

he struggled a lot actually with maintaining his humanity as it would slip from time to time due to the trauma even if he had his siblings to tether him down. at some point, seulki, while strong, felt himself getting exhausted from being on the run and it was when they’d found themselves in scotland being found by hagrid of all people offering seulki a place at hogwarts and his siblings a place in his hut

at first, seulki declined, not fully trusting the man with his siblings even though he would be right in the castle near by. but, after some thought and the push of the second oldest, they accepted the offer and seulki’s been attending hogwarts since he was eighteen and his siblings have found a residence with hagrid

tidbits.

he ages like a normal human up until he’s twenty-one when he quits aging and begins the phase of immortality.

seulki can and will drink blood to survive, but if he goes without it it’s not detrimental to him until he quits aging altogether which means he can eat regular food, he actually quite enjoys it.

he has fangs, he can go out into sunlight, but not for an excessive amount of time or he’ll get a rash. seulki does have inhuman speed and strength, but nothing overpowering u know? when he loses his humanity, his eyes go full black and when the vampire takes him over, his eyes are red, and his regular eye color is brown.

losing his humanity means he loses his heartbeat, most of the time either due to losing the things or people that make his heart beat or from intense and severe anger or negative emotions such as the like. though, it can be voluntarily done as well by switching it off  ( kind of like tvd . . . fucking disgusting ). but, seulki being only half-vampire has an easier time, unlike his siblings, to regain his heartbeat back and for his humanity to fluctuate when it’s lost because of his human side. his siblings are his heartbeats actually, so that’s where the intense need to protect them comes from as well as just being their brother.

seulki is a Big Bi   !   loves it fucking all.

he’s not super great at magic since his magic gene was pretty dormant until he came to hogwarts, so he’s pretty much just skirting by at this point.

his siblings mean the world to him, he would do absolutely anything for them and wouldn’t let a single person harm a hair on their heads. but   !   no one knows they exist, though i’m sure if there were special people in his life they might   !

while he sleeps around a lot . . . he’s a secret romantic. he’s always wanted to find love, but it way too terrified of it. 

oh yeah he has a blood kink............ that’s important ig

personality.

seulki is definitely an interesting person. he’s wise and intelligent, having been through a lot in his life. he’s eloquent and good with his words, most would call him honey-tongued because of how he can persuade almost anyone to do what he says. seulki is kind of a dick or well, like a suave dick. he’s charming and flirty, his signature is a smirk and like arms crossed as he leans against a doorway u know? seulki is uh. how do i put this? kind of a whore. he doesn’t tend to care about others which is deep rooted in the fact that he’s never felt real love . . . his own mother hated him to the core. he’s overprotective of the people he cares about and will do absolutely anything for them. he’s an ass if i didn’t mention that before, it’s to protect himself and his siblings from ever being hurt again because he’s so terrified of letting people in for them to just tear him down in the process. he’s guarded and u never know what he’s thinking because he doesn’t show it on his face or let u know. UH I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY MY BRAIN DOESN’T WORK............ he’s p manipulative............. uh he cares a lot. but deep down and he doesn’t want ppl to know that........... he’s definitely a Big Brother type when he cares abt u, makes sure u’ve eaten, makes sure ur warm and are comfortable....... yeah idk that’s it i’m done

wanted plots.

A HEARTBEAT   !   — whether platonic or romantic, this would be someone who, just like seulki’s siblings, makes his heart beat thus keeping his humanity in check, they would be a WHOLE, WHOLE lot to him. 

A TUTOR   !   — as i mentioned earlier, seulki isn’t super well versed when it comes to magic, he’s not very good at it and it’s hard for him to navigate sometimes, so having someone to help him get his mf grades up would be lovely !

AN EX   !   — obviously, this didn’t go down well because seulki is terrified of commitment and people getting close to him. it could play out in so many ways, so if it sparks ur interest we can chat !

A ROOMMATE   !   — so which sucker is gonna have to live with the vampire who has a blood kink ?

A BEST FRIEND   !   — obviously this is pretty self explanatory, this would be someone that seulki trusts with probably his life and they mean a lot to him, even if he’s bad at showing it.

LOVE/HATE   !   — bruh give me that good shit. these two can’t stand each other, but because of that it’s formed some sort of fondness where if anyone is messing with the other they’re like who tf are u that’s my job   !

A BAD INFLUENCE / GOOD INFLUENCE   !   — self explantory . . . someone be a good influence for seulki and let him be a bad influence for someone else.

AN UNREQUITED CRUSH   !   — my friend gave me the idea to maybe have someone have a cute little crush on seulki . . . and i was like but that’s SO sad........ then i was like u know what i love pain so here we are........ also could be requited we shall see   !

FUCK BUDDIES, FRIENDS/ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS, FLINGS   !   — i’m just getting lazy at this point to explain this shit . . . fuck him, let him fuck u he’s a true vers my friends.

OTHERS   !   — cuddle buddy, old friends, confidant, rivals, skinny love, annoyances, a brother/sister type of relationship, and if there’s anything else we can just vibe   !   tbh we don’t even have to do anything from this list, whatever fits the muses, these are just ideas   !

𝙊𝙊𝘾 >>

hey guys ! i go by star and my timezone is pst but i’m most likely gonna be the most active late at night since i’m a night owl. anyways this is my lil misunderstood pureblooded slytherin named rei and if you’d like to plot something out with him like this or let me know!

𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙍𝙀𝙄 𝘽𝘼𝙉𝙂 >>

the turveydrop. someone who puts up a facade that they are perfect in every aspect either for themself or someone else. they’re probably a perfectionist and do this in order to achieve something or maybe they were just brought up with the idea that they have to be perfect.

rei comes from a family of wealthy pureblooded slytherins and was raised to believe in the preservation of blood purity (think draco malfoy). his mother was picked by his grandparents to marry his father simply because of her pure blood and strong magical power. this marriage was an unhappy one and rei grew up witnessing arguments and tension between his parents. the only affection he got was from his grandparents, though as he grew up he suspected they only treated him well because he was the “perfect” grandson they always wanted.

growing up, rei was constantly told that purebloods were far more superior than muggles or half-bloods. he wasn’t even allowed to be friends with anyone that wasn’t a pureblood. the discourse around the dinner table always involved remarks by his father about how pathetic muggles were and all rei could do was nod and stay quiet.

not only did rei feel immense pressure to be the perfect son, but also the perfect slytherin, student, and the best at sports. he was never allowed to just be himself. and sometimes he wonders who exactly his true self is. is it the “perfect” son he is to his parents or is it someone else?

presently, rei puts up a front of disliking half-bloods and muggles. he has a reputation around hogwarts for having a particularly distasteful attitude towards those that aren’t purebloods. although, deep inside, rei wonders if there is even a different between purebloods and those that aren’t. most of rei’s time is spent focusing on his studies and sports. maintaining his good grades is the most important thing to him. 

𝙀𝙓𝙏𝙍𝘼 >>

rei’s growing increasingly tired of putting on a mask in front of everyone and just wants someone who understands him. 

he has a black, fluffly cat named midnight that’s basically his best friend.

archery is his favorite sport to play and you can most likely find him practicing every day.

his favorite color is black.

rei’s current appearance is black-haired hyunjin. 

his favorite social media is twitter because it’s a type of journal for him. he also likes instagram and posts a lot of selfies and is kind of an instagram baddie. 

rei loves trendy clothes even though his closet is mostly black.

i am  open to any other plots you have in mind so pls pls let me know if you’d like to plot <3

ooc:

hello! my name is nox (they/them,18+, cst, bts + girl groups supremacist). feel free to add me on d.iscord: 𝖓𝖔𝖝#3017 for plotting or just friendship purposes!

wanted connections:

exes (any gender, maybe one of each? we can discuss the terms it could have ended good or bad)

fwbs

flirtationships that don’t go anywhere

ride or dies

friendly rival

maybe a sibling type relationship? let him badger your muse

people he delivers pastries to

one-sided pining (i don’t mind who has the caught feelings)

mutual pining

enemies?!

some pureblood elitist types that give him hell for being muggleborn

people he pulls pranks with. want some weasley twin type shenanigans 

some tutor he’s forced to bond with cuz of his lackluster performance in what he considers “boring” classes

muggleborns he can bond with over muggle things

anything you might be able to think of FDJKDKHGDSLKGJD

info dump:

here’s his stats page and i’ll eventually write up a bio for now just have these bullet points

felix is a  metamorphmagus like tonks. mostly he uses it to change his hair color but he absolutely uses it to get into trouble on a regular basis. he’s out here pulling pranks by turning into spiders and uses these powers to steal food from the kitchens

he’s the pastry distributor of hogwarts. need some bread? he’s got you

he’s just here to be as annoying as possible and drive pureblood elitists up the wall. yeah he’s a slytherin muggleblood so what?

his parents are very supportive of him being a wizard though felix randomly turning into a lizard at the dinner table was something they had to get used to

he misses video games the most out of anything. please other muggleborns talk to him about apex legends he’s dying without it

magical creatures are his favorite thing he loves animals and would die for them all but there’s something so sick about big magical animals that could kill him instantly that he loves. he’s a huge fan of the giant squid and loves looking at it from the dungeon windows

he’s the slytherin seeker! he’s not the best but he is enthusiastic about his position and he thinks it makes him look cool. he’s really just here for the adrenaline rush and the attention

transfiguration is his specialty but he enjoys herbology a lot too. he’s basically your local plant dad

he has an owl named beemer who constantly looks angry but he still loves him a lot

he’s very clumsy. he trips a lot and has certainly broken many bones falling off his broom

pretty much he’s a bundle of chaos but he has fun with it. he likes to purposefully give people the wrong answers in class when they ask for help and loves to see the results when they mix the wrong ingredients in potions

he’s fluent in flirt speak and he will use it on literally everyone so sorry to all the shy babies that reside here

generally he’s extremely cocky and lives for attention. yes he thinks he’s the best looking dude on the planet and yes he will constantly remind you about it
