[ Physical Character Description: ]
Seth's eyes are a light green, only made lighter by the accent of his olive skin tone. His hair is usually a dark brown to a black color, often which blonde highlights maybe found in.
It never really looks good fully blond, he did that only once and won't be trying it again anytime soon.
He likes to keep his hair unique, from mid length, to short and spiked up it depends on his mood, usually a little crazy with not much done to it, lets the wind take hold when its medium length.
Seth is considered shorter by guy standards, only standing 5,8 but its a usual trait to italians in which guys tend to be shorter.
Seth has a six pack, but is not overly defined, typical strength for his age played soccer allot outside in the Italian heat so his calves are defined in a soccer build. He has more defined look to him then he has to a strong build.
Seth can usually be found in his Gryiffindor Robes. If he is not wearing them, its a mixture of his own assortment of muggle fashion, which is commonly refered to as a preppy style. This ranges from his collared shirtes and jeans that occasionally have holes in them which his mother never understands why he seems to wear them.
Now to put it in a little more story, wise when he is back in Italy he tends to tan more then when he has lived in London with his uncle. He also plays soccer allot when he can get a chance which helps him build a more defined look. He doesn't have allot of time to strength train as much as he would like.
He does also have a scar on over his heart. Its about three inches long, the back story to this is when he was in downtown London. A women was getting mugged and he went to intervene and ended up getting slashed across the chest and over the heart. The women thanked him because the police were able to run over but he had to sit at a muggle hospital for a couple hours getting stitched up and he got an ear full from his uncle when he finally got home. Now the way he gets his physical features his eyes come from his mother and the wild free hair actually comes from his father because his dad use to have long hair when his mother and her father were dating.
He is short like a normal Italian guy, his dad was only 5,11 and his mom was only 5,5 so he got a little in between both of them at a grand height of 5,8.
[ Personality Character Description: ]
Seth, is well can be one of those hero, bleeding heart types. When it comes to girlfriends hes know as the hopeless romantic. The reason behind this is when he was in a relationship in his fourth year,
He fell hard fast for her and would go out of the way to make her happy. He would walk her to class bring her flowers usually conjured up on his way to meet her at the class. It was a little serious for a fourteen year old but he believe in using allot of his family traditions.
He would treat girls with respect won't sit down until his girlfriend sits down, opens the doors allot of his songs he has are romantic based.
To his friends he is know as the wise cracking joker of the bunch always up for a laugh. The story behind this is he will usually make side jokes when walking in the halls or occasionally when the classes get boring he usually will be the one goofing off in class.
He does this allot less in class now that hes matured out allot more and the only time he acts like a joker is when he is chilling by the pond or just sitting around the camp fire in the common room
.In time of need hes the type to stand up and stand charge and take lead of a situation, he keeps a level head for the most time until his friends or the one he cares about get hurt then he is likely to be more reckless with himself and get himself in trouble cause he doesn't always think clearly.
A great example of this is when one of his friends gets made fun of he will usually step up and intervene and usually make a smart comment to the agreers or tell him of.
He doesn't believe in people bullying others and more so he hates when people throw race or blood line into a comment, in his younger years he would resort to violence but now he will try to avoid violence but he is not against resorting it if the timing is right or the cause is justified.
[ History: ]
The DeClair Family tree has been a long lasting pure blood family, coming from Aviano Italy, its where Seth was born the younger of two boys.
The older one being Leonardo or Leo for short Declair, thats where Seth gets his middle name from his older brother. He spent most of his early childhood idolizing and tagging around his older brother and what ideas his brother use to follow.
His brother Leo was a ten years older then Seth. Seth never fully got much time with his brother cause he lost him in 1999 during the fight at Hogwarts.
In a sense he really lost connections with his idol back in 1997 he was only five when Leo joined up with the Death Eaters and turned his back on his family's traditions and ways, for the ideas of the return of Voldemort was spreading.
He was only seven when he became the eldest son, he never attended the funeral of his brother cause Leo was considered an outcast a disgrace to the family.
From that day forth, he started helping out around the house more, he picked up the guitar and start writing his own songs to try to keep himself busy when he was at home.
When he wasn't at home he would often go for long walks and work on playing soccer, but every year at least once he would visit the grave site of his disgraced brother.
When he finally turned eleven he got his letter from Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor, where most of his family line, but it wasn't the only house his family line ever got sorted into he had cousins and other members split between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff the only one to have ever been placed in Slytherin was he brother Leonardo.
In school he did nothing big his first year just was an average student, he became popular fast in his hall because of his ability to play the guitar and write his own songs. He got along easily with his house mates but at times he would walk past Slytherins and could only vision seeing his brother.
Second year he started to get top marks in transfiguration while on his free time he practiced Quidditch and working on his songs He also got a chance to make the team but failed miserably he just didn't have the skills to compete with those of the older students.
Third year: Was hard on him due to the fact he lost his father with an unexpected heart attack, there was no foul play involved in his fathers death.
This left him with only his mother Beth DeClair, and her brother Antonino Carpini who had two children, one a boy by the name of Kurios who is two years younger then Seth. Antonio also had a daughter by the name of Sariena who was the same age as Seth and was sortied into Hufflepuff. Antonio's wife Tiffany came London which also was where his Uncles home was.
This left him the head of the house in which he would spend the summer looking after his mother who was suffering from grief. So late in the summer under the advice of his Uncle he and his mother moved in to London to stay with him and his family.
He maintained ownership of the manor in Aviano, cause he wanted to one day raise his own family there.
Fourth Year: He had his first long relationship lasting till break to a girl name Kelly but it ended mutually over winter break. He also started looking for people to start a band with, as he had worked on his voice and usually would sing his songs for his cousins which he usually did by the pond.
He was more outgoing and would spice up his looks to flirt a little more he now had a core group of friends he would hang out with most from his house but those from the other house made threw his cousins. He also didn't have a problem with any house he had friends also in Slytherin and had no biased with them.
Fifth Year: This is when things got interesting got in a scuffle with a Slytherin student (not because he dis likes Slytherin just happened cause of comment made by one), end up costing his house 50 points for cursing a student when a remark about his brother was made and he lost his cool and took it out him.
He used a stunning spell and was about to cast another curse when he was tackled by his cousin Kurios.
There was rumored the person he got involved with was with the so called elevens. He didn't really care but later in the year when the Deva's became public knowledge he learned that the student he had got in a fight with was indeed part of this organization.
During the summer of his fifth to sixth year (currently whats being played): At the start of the summer he has noticed his Uncle spends alot more time working in his office and has been staying out and only coming in very late.
Also this summer so far he has noticed his Aunt and Uncle would talk until he or the other children walked past. So far he has only caught a few bits and peices of whats going on, somthing by the name of regiment. He plans to later in the summer have a talk with his Uncle and ask him about this when he finally has a chance too.
Sixth Year Incoming Year (possible plans not part of history): His upcoming plans for sixth year is to keep up with his grades and now in search of band members for his songs, he finally feels comfortable to share his work with more then just his family and close friends. Since the times are getting more dark, he wants to find someone to date on a more serious level and not a fling like he has been having.
Pros and Cons : ]
To start off his positives first, his strongest would be his courage, he tends to always stand for the right causes.
Won't turn his back and believes in standing against many even when he maybe he only one but if he feels his cause is for good he won't turn his back and flee, even if it could cost him everything including his life.
Next would be Honor ever since his brother Leo became a disgrace for following Voldemort's beliefs he made sure he kept his values to those of a man of respect, someone who conducts himself in selfless acts being raised in an Italian family heritage, his family honor means everything to him and he does everything in his actions to keep from bring shame to it like his brother Leo did.
Third would be his song/guitar skills, he started play right after his brother died so when he was seven he is now going on nine years. He writes his own songs and has a voice to back them up, finally bring them out to more people then just his family and friends he has started seeking members for a band in his free time. Its one of his relaxation tools to when he gets stressed he will sit under a tree facing the pond and play Melody's and sometimes thinking of new lyrics to write down. Either way he uses it to keep himself from day dreaming into the past too much.
Fourth: Would be his heart, its a combination of the first two, but he believes in leading his life by his heart, at times this could also could be a con just as much as a pro because sometimes he his heart leads him into more danger when he choose not to listen to his head. Also the positives in having a good heart (not meaning physically a good heart obviously) is he shows compassion for his friends and those around him, he doesn't tolerate bullying of younger students and will usually step up. He goes out of his way to make sure things are in his mind perfectly set up when it comes to girlfriends, or just dates set up, he gets the nickname of being a hopeless romantic.
Now on to the Con's The first being he is reckless, with courage comes its counter part recklessness. He will not always think things threw and take bigger risk then needed. He will jeopardize himself for the safety of others even at times when there is safer alternatives. At times he is just overly aggressive and that lets situations get the best of him,
Now our second con would be his past, it bothers him to an extreme point, he looked up to his brother when he was just a few years old and to learn his brother not only died so young but died in disgrace fighting for a group the promoted injustices still gets to him. He is also filled with sorrow that he never really got a chance to hang out with his brother and one of the last things he said to him when he was five was that he hated him and how could he turn his back on the family for this evil man who hurt innocent people. (he was only five couldn't really have a logically argument)In his mind he never got to apologize to him to tel him even know his actions were wrong he was sorry and he was still family. Its one of the reason he goes yearly to his brothers grave site.
Third: Wisecracks, this is not a really bad con but it tends to get him in trouble in class. He can be a goofball he has class with his friends and this leads to the occasional detention and point deductions for his slapstick distracting comedy in class. He did this more so when he was in his first few years but now more so he is allot more restrained. He still gets himself in trouble for his mouth just less so in class and more so with other students that take a likely to bullying younger students.

[RP example]Seth walked past rows of graves the names meaning nothing to him. He held in right hand a white flower. In his left hand he held a Hogwarts badge the name reading Leo DeClair.
As his pace slowed on approaching a grave that sat on top the hill weeds growing around the side, he moved the flower to his left hand and pulled out his want with the right.
He muttered a small spell and the weeds shriveled up and died. He put his wand back into his robes as he approached the grave of his long lost brother.
"Its been a long time, I brought you something"
He said to no one just to the open air but to him he was talking to the grave, he set down the items on top of the headstone. A tear rolled down his face as he looked a the graves that were all around him.
"why did you have to choose, such a foolish path brother, get wrapped up in all of that, die for nothing."
Once again speaking to no one, and knowing that dusk was approaching and he had to get back to his uncles, he turned back and headed to wards the gates.
