[ Full Character Name: ] Charon Erik Holler
[ Gender: ] Male
[ Height: ] 5'11"
[ Weight: ] None of your business
[ Skin tone: ] Pale
[ Eye color: ] Grey
[ Hair Color: ] Naturally brown, often dyed dark blue
[ Wand: ] Holly with a runespoor fang core
[ Favorite color robes: ] Midnight blue
[ Physical Character Description: ] Charon is built slenderly (in other words, he's not overly skinny but he's on the thin edged of normal). He normally wears a dark colored shirt with blue jeans, and often wears hooded sweatshirts, even in summer. He hates sunlight because he burns easily.
[ Personality Character Description: ] Charon is quick-tempered, though he's working on better self-control. He prefers solitude to groups larger than 4 people. He's fairly lazy, but can and will work hard when required to. He cannot abide what he sees as stupidity, although this view is very subjective. He does not make friends easily, but when he does they are close and he does not give them up easily. He enjoys a small amount of insanity and "abnormality." He loves music and will often turn to it when disturbed in any way for a calming effect.
[ History: ] Charon is the only son of a witch and wizard, both of which are Muggle-borns. He resents the fact that he cannot trace his family's magical history back beyond his parents and also resents the fact that no one in his extended family has any sort of magic. The reason he resents his lack of magical family background is that his grandparents had always fussed over him (as grandparents sometimes enjoy doing) and he saw them as weak, foolish, and worthless because of this. On his 10th birthday (July 6, 1989) he ran away from home upon hearing that he be sent to Hogwarts, and began a life on the streets using his natural magical abilities to help him as a thief. He lived on the streets of Edinburgh for 4 1/2 years. During that time he joined some gangs and led others, as the only Muggles he thought were of any worth were the street gangs. He was always kicked out of a gang eventually because of his powers. He also spent about a year in London living in side alleys off of Knockturn Alley. While there he quickly learned that his natural magical ability wasn't nearly enough to help him survive in the wizarding world. Since he hated the thought of living in the Muggle world for the rest of his life, he decided to return home to enlist in Hogwarts and gain the skills he would need. Once at home he spent some time in private tutoring from his parents learning the basics of wizardry. He has since improved his magical talents at Hogwarts and is now generally able to hold his own in a magical duel. During his past year, he found himself broken up with his girlfriend and therefore went into hiding. By doing his best to avoid everyone, he increased his stealth and sneaking skills.
[ Special talents/knacks : ] Charon has a highly tuned magical instinct that almost acts as a sixth sense for him. He can sometimes sense ill will towards himself, and his magical instincts have slightly heightened his senses. His reflexes are fast and he is a quick thinker, but his lies fall apart if scrutinized. He often prefers to run from confrontation but can hold his own when needed. He is also quite good at remaining undetected.
