Accepted! Welcome to Hogwarts!
[ Full Character Name: ] Devin Brady
[ Character Gender: ] Male
[Character Age:] 35 years old
[ Position: ] Transfigurations Professor
[ Country of Citizenship: ] Ireland (Which I believe is controlled by the British ministry.)
[ Physical Character Description: ] Devin is a man of decent size. 6'0 and a slender yet athletic/muscular build. He has medium length brow hair and for the most part is clean shaven. Hidden behind his somewhat mop-like hair are powerful blue eyes. He is somewhat middle aged, but likes to keep up his appearance and has a tendency to wear an updated line of clothing. Over he's a handsome man with a charming smile, though that is not to say he is flawless. Hidden on his body can be found many scars from the previous war and years as an auror.
[ Personality Character Description: ] An overly charming and polite man, Devin can be seen as the typical gentlemen. he is very professional, though at rare times he can be seen as hardly that. He throws his heart into things he loves and his loyal loving nature can sometimes cause him to become somewhat emotional (angry not crying). He is usually well-liked due to his charm and good nature, which when added to his loyalty and hard work he can be seen as an excellent employee. Though Devin prefers to be seen as a perfectionist who can usually control his aggressive nature, he does have a playful childish side. However Devin's love life doesn't exist due to the hardships of his past. These past losses have caused him to close himself from the outside world slightly and women in general. Though many have tried to break his shell no woman has managed to get through.
[ History: ] Devin Brady was born of Mary and Edward, both who fought in the original war on the side of the Order. They both suffered unfortunate deaths. His father an auror who was totured and unable to be saved after the first war, when they tracked down former death eaters. His mother killed during a mission for the Order. Devin was sent to live with his grandparents, soon after their deaths.
Devin liked his grandparents and lived a somewhat happy life, growing up hearing stories of the heroics his parents had performed. He attented Hogwarts as a Gryffindor, doing extremely well in both school and quidditch. In his 7th year he was head boy, graduating top of his class. He turned down a chance to play pro quidditch, knowing he would be nothing but a second string player all his life. Instead he used his talents in magic to join up as an auror following the footsteps of his father.
He graduated top of his class at the auror academy, and soon found a girl he fell in love with. He proposed and they settled with a long engagment both too busy to marry with their schedules as aurors. In 1994, Devin found himself in an akward situation with the rebirth of Voldemort. He was very found with Albus Dumbledore, one of his favorite teachers at Hogwarts and even felt loyalty to young Harry Potter, but he also had loyalties with the Ministry. He soon realized the following year that Dumbledore was right and he silently stood behind him, unable to show his outrage when the man was removed as Headmaster.
He stayed silent about the Ministry and Voldemort until the death of Albus Dumbledore. At the funeral he came in contact with another former teacher, Minerva McGonagall. He and his fiance joined up with the Order and fought for the next year or so. During the time he fought along side the Order, he studied Occlumency and Legilmency. Learning from both the Order and a skilled auror, he mastered the skill. Unfortunatly towards the end of the war, his fiance was killed in a raid on the Ministry. Devin was heart-broken and could barely fight till the end of the war.
After the war was over Devin finally recieved his time to greave and was able to get over his past love, but vowed he would never love again. He continued to work for the Ministry and now has been a long time auror with them. Being on a brink of a new war, it seems time for Devin to fight, though he is currently holding back. It would take little to convince him to come back to fight for the light.
[ Special talents/knacks : ] Devin is extremely talented in the more practical forms of magic, such as DADA, Charms, and highly skilled in Transfiguration. He is not an animagus, though has thought about it at times. His years of being an auror make him seem less humain on a battlefield. He sometimes fights no means nessicary, and can appear as almost terrifying. He does have some problems when it comes to those he has lost in the past, unlike former members of the Order, such as Harry Potter, he cannot turn away from fighting those who have ravaged his life. He has a thirst for revenge, hidden deep inside him. He is also skilled in Occlumency and Legilmency.
[Writing/Role Playing Example:]
A attractive looking man walked into the offices a bright smile on his face as he greated everyone. A bowler cap adoring his head, and a trendy classic looking outfit on, he was set for the day. As he approached his cubicle he nodded to the man on his left as he passed by, "Beautiful day out there Rogers, sad we are stuck in here." There was a hint of an Irish accent, though it was neatly trained. "How I long to get away from this paperwork," he laughed as he sat down. Setting down the breifcase he had held momentarily in his left hand, he began to sort through papers.
"Ah, just what I was looking for, more trouble." It seemed like a century since the last war, but as the days passed a new war seemed to be on the brink. When he thought back the previous war had been a long time ago, over a decade, and thats saying a lot when you are only 35 years old.
Standing up from his cubical, he shuffled through a couple more papers grabbing the ones he wanted and made his way towards the back to the main office. Knocking on the door lightly he waited patiently. He needed to talk to the boss, and now was the perfect time. If he waited for too long he would be way too emersed in his work, it was better to get these things out of the way.
(I'm sorry that one sucks, but here is one from one of the other sites I've been on):
PJ had been fighting Snape for years, all the way back when they were in Hogwarts. Day after day they had faced off, each having there own wins and losses. He had the remains from many of their battles, including marks across his back where he had been knocked through a tombstone. One mark that had recently taken over that spot was the one in the middle of his back where he had been hit with the killing curse.
He began to approach Snape, trying to hold back the anger that was seething within him. As he stepped forward it seemed like everyones eyes had turned on them.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is it possible that PJ Prager still lives? I was certain the rumors of self-pity leading to self-destruction were completely true.How unfortunate that they're not. I thought I had done both of us quite a favor in Hogsmeade. But I was wrong. Seeing you destroy yourself as the world you fight to protect crumbles around you is so much better than I ever could've dreamed.
"Well Daniel it seems... that your right. Hogsmeade did do us both a favor. I think in the end you will see why," his voice never quivered as he talked, though it was pretty obvious he was restraining himself. And I'd be glad to tell you that the rumors are hardly true. I might not look my best, but those days are in the past. I have found my ways around it." He smiled as he pushed past his rival, making sure that he had some good contact. "No need to worry about me Danny boy, I'm sure my life will last a lot longer than yours."
As he began to walk away he turned towards Daniel, raising his hands. "Don't want to be hit from behind, I apoligize for making it so obvious, but you can't be sure these days can you." He smirked hoping to get a little strike on Snape. "I mean not that I'm saying anything, you just never know."
