Accepted: welcome to the Wizarding World!
Full Character Name: Nicolae Torque
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 19, but easily looks 28 and doesn't tell people that he's not.
Occupation Requesting: Cover - Realtor (will explain more in history)
Country of Citizenship: England
Physical Character Description: Nic is 6ft 5inches, 195 lbs of muscles, though without his shirt on you couldn't tell. He's solidly built and tends to wear over sized clothes; which works well when he has to travel in the muggle world and it also conveniently hides his wand. His eyes are a dark mud caked brown, sometimes a little too hard, but his complexion is a clear caramel brown and his hair is always cropped short. He will never have long dreads, an afro, or anything, but short, nearly bald, shaved head. This is more functional in both the wizarding world and the muggle word.
Personality Character Description: Nic used to be easy going, fun, and the all around funny guy jock. Not anymore. He's quiet, taking time to form his words, make up his mind before he speaks. Usually he sit there for a moment (in a post describing how he feels, how he's reacting to what was said, what he's thinks) and then he'll actually respond. He has a lot weighing on his shoulders (we'll find out in history) and sometimes it shows. Mostly he keeps a straight face and never usually shows emotions. No smiles, frowns, arching of eyebrows, unless he wants you to see it. Than he'll deliberately do a smile, but if you're aware it won't reach his eyes or it'll seem kind of off. Other times it just seems likes he's bored and doesn't care, another reflexive move to help protect him. Usually this is the face he'll use when he's confused or truly bored and wants you to know that's he's bored.
History: Some people may remember Nic from HR so I'm not going to put his history from there. It doesn't matter and it isn't relevant anymore. Nic's history starts when he met a girl named Arianna Shriver. Nic had always liked her, but he knew that she liked his bestfriend Drew Thornton so he never approached her, not like that. One day Air and Nic just sorta clicked. They talked about everything from family to future plans. It was a day to remember in history, because that was the day Ari started to see Nic as something more than "Drew's friend.''
Still at Hogwarts Nic asked Ari to marry him. He knew she was the one just like his father knew about his mother. It was a Torque legend and Nic was absolutely certain. He was happy and elated she said yes. Nic didn't even have time to tell his bestfriends and let them know as he spent a lot of time with Ari and just didn't happen to cross paths with his boys. It was summer and Ari had graduated, but Nic was going into his 7th year, and they were going to spend the summer together. Everything was perfect.
Until Ari was kidnapped for ransom. She was just taken out of their apartment, right under his nose. Nic searched for her everyone; even dropping out of school to find her. He did a lot of bad things which eventually led him into the tight holds of the DEVA organization. Nic did a lot of things he's not proud of, but he did them to get Ari back. He was deep into the criminal world and he was very very good at it. Nic kept telling himself one more this or that and than I'll know where she's at. Nic was sent on suicide missions, expected to die, but always he would return and little by little that smiling chipper kid that used to be Nic died. Nic never did find her.
One day Nic had an emergency and the only thing he could do was go into a quaint little hospital and seek the attentions of a healer. This fateful day happened to be where a Li Mei worked; a disguised Arianna who's parents thought Nic was the one who kidnapped her. They were trying to keep her safe. Li Mei slipped up and said something only Ari would know. Nic convinced this Asian girl knew information about Ari took her from the hospital, basically kidnapped her and demanded information.
Long story short it turned out that Li was Ari. Nic upset, confused, and betrayed tried to let Li go. If she wasn't Ari and didn't want him anymore than there was no point in keeping her. It tore Nic apart to learn that he went into Hell to find Ari and she was safe all this time and never once tried to contact him. Nic went off to do one last mission making sure to end his life. Luck prevailed and his best friend in the underworld, Ashley Channing (everyone calls him Ash, only the few stupid enough or brave enough call him Ashley), saved his life.
When Nic got home Ari was waiting for him and with news. She was pregnant with his child. Nic should have seen the heavy belly, but where he thought she was fat it clicked, plus she was due to give birth any minute. Needless to say both Ari and Nic had to work on their communication and they are stronger than ever with a baby girl added into the mix.
Nic wasn't able to leave the underworld. Since he's still 19 here on HR, he's still a fledging doing the suicide missions or the missions the head honchos don't want to do. He has a cover as a Realtor. What he does is he buys houses, fixes them up, make them more modern magically, and than sells them often making a hefty profit. He goes into an office every morning reads some numbers, but often he gets an owl or a note and is sent away to do what he has been sworn into doing. A life that he can't escape and at this point in his life... doesn't want to.
Pros and Cons :
Pros
1. Strong-willed individual. He doesn't get scared or panics easily. He's the go to guy in a tough situation or crisis.
2. He gets the job done. No matter what he's supposed to do, he'll get the job done. Sometimes being a little too literal with the contract he's out to do. Ex. One job he was supposed to kill the king of a small country. The real king was dethrone by his brother. Nic killed the king that was on the throne. No questions asked. Next time be more specific.
3. Neat. Where as his wife is a bit on the disorganized side, Nic always has his stuff organized. Whether it plans for a mission or just his home. it's always neat and orderly.
Cons
1.He loves his family. He'll do anything to protect them. Anything! This isn't always a good thing, especially in his line of work. He doesn't like his family to be threatened to get him to do something. Only 1 person has done that to him and they haven't found all the pieces yet.
2. He's not that strong in spells; basic spells is what he's good at. He'll usually revert to violence or if he happens to have some magic gadget that gets the job done he'll use that as well.
3.He has no education. Nic dropped out of Hogwarts. He doesn't have a degree and when some people realize this they tend to treat him stupid. A big mistake.
Credentials:Again being a realtor is Nic's cover. Luckily, he's pretty good at buying a house, working out the numbers on how much to fix it, getting it done under budget, and selling it for a nice profit. He's not always in so he does have a staff of 2 that he works with, another gift from the Deva. Nic doesn't know if they are all Deva employees or oblivious, he doesn't care to know. He just reads the numbers and make sure everything is running as it should be.
Writing/Role Playing Example:Nic closed his office door. It was Friday and Nic let his employees, there's only 2 of them, go home early on Fridays, usually around 2pm. Nic should have left hours ago to see a new house, but he could take care of that tomorrow. Instead he had sat in his office going over reports, reading everything, and making sure it made sense. This was his one "good" job and he wanted to be successful in it. Luckily, he had good employees who knew their stuff.
Nic pulled at the black cloak that was his daily attire with a grimace. He walked slowly down the street. His eyes taking in anyone who could be a potential enemy, which was ... everyone. He couldn't help taking note of the exits, quick getaways, and who was watching whom. After a walk Nic found himself at home. The only place he felt truly face and secure in. He made sure all the safe guards were up and that no one could apparate in or out and that he would always know if someone was coming too close to his apartment that didn't live in the building. It was a little paranoia, but it would keep his family safe.
Nic walked in and threw his cloak near a coat hanger which grabbed it and draped it over itself. Nic could smell food and he smiled, truly smile, as he thought about his wife and daughter. Nic walked into the kitchen to see Ari at the stove and his daughter gurgling in a high chair. She was gumming a biscuit that flew in the air by itself. Before Nic could give a proper greeting his eyes landed on a single white envelope.
Nic opened it up and read the parchment. In less than 24 hours he was to be go into the muggle world and help a very famous muggle notice the error of his ways. It seemed this muggle may know a thing or two about wizards and he was to find out how he got his information. The muggle's words and comments were a little too accurate for just guessing. Nic opened his hand and the parchment burned to a crisp leaving no evidence. Jadon clapped her hands with glee. Ari turned, glanced at the table, and knew her husband wouldn't be in bed tonight.
Nic slid into a chair and drummed his fingers on the table. He was already outlaying the plans. Nic always had a Plan A and a Plan B. Always. It was how he survived.
