[ Physical Character Description: ]
Seth is gorgeous. Thats a simple fact. Although he knows it, the doesn't use this fact as much as he could, that doesn't mean he uses it to his advantage. Seth has boyish looks, which makes his both cute and charming. His hair-cut is simple. Wavy chocolate brown locks that come past around his ears, and a bit above his eyes. He has pale-ish skin, but it has a tanned glow to it in the summer time. The boy has chocolate brown eyes, with a few specks of honey comb through the iris. Seth has an average noes but it is a little on the longer side. The teenager has smile that 'catches on' like a disease, which he definitely uses to his own advantage. The boy also has noticeable dimple on the left cheek, and a smaller one on the right.
Due to the amount of physical activity the boy does, and his life-style, Seth has a very fit body for his age. The boy endues mostly swimming activities, such as swimming, water polo, and surf-life-saving. He does running activities as well, but those are just races and hurdles. Along with this physique, Seth wears slim line clothing. This ranges from allot of surf bands, and a few smarter and stylish outfits, which were forced into his wardrobe by his father. Really, Seth wears whatever is comfortable for him, but unfortunately, this doesn't include the Hogwarts robes. He prefers them to have rolled up sleeves, loosely tucked in shirts, and pulled down ties. He's a bit of a sucker for good clothes, and loves to make a good impression.
[ Personality Character Description: ]
Although most think Seth is identical to his best friend Ryan, they would be wrong about that fact. Despite the fact that the two are as thick as any brothers could be, they do have different personalities. Like the typical Ryan and Seth from the O.C, they differ in some ways. Ryan comes off to be more of a friendly 'jock' and Seth? Well he's the gorgeous dork everyone wants to know. This isn't exactly the story, but much like it. Seth is very flirtatious, and is a social butterfly. He wants to know everyone, and wants to make a great impression on all. He doesn't strive for schoolwork as much as he should, but with every chance of mischief, trouble is made.
Like his friend Ryan, Seth loves to make strife for others. It's all well and fun, and does get them into trouble allot, but 99% of the time it's worth it. The two boys would never make fun of anyone, just muck up and stir things a bit. And they also make a point not to purposely get anyone else hurt, physically that is. On the other side, Seth tends to apologize for some things, unlike Ryan. he gets bad feelings about stuff, and automatically tries to fix them. Although he is smart, he doesn't use this allot. Usually to impress girls. He gets average grades at school, because he likes to goof off or something along those lines. Seth is a good-hearted teenager on the inside, but some just can't see that past his boyish and stupid trades. Sure, he is a bit of a dork at times, but thats just one of the traits to love about the boy.
[ History: ]
Seth Collins was born on the First of January. His parents, Jennifer and Owen Collins were deeply in love when they had Seth, and it remained this way. The boy had a normal up-brining for two years, as anyone would. He didn't have any fault accidents, and was simply just a cute little, innocent baby. Two years after Seth's birth, his little sister, Veronica was born on the Eighth of July. Unlike some siblings, Seth and Veronica got along rather well. The two children and their parents lived in a rather wealthy household, due to their parents high-paying jobs. Owen Collins was known in his town. He was an honest man, who was a Physics Professor at the state University. The man was well respected, by both his children and the public, as was his wife, Jennifer. The mother of Seth Collins own a fashion shop in town. It was called 'Evenings' and was suited for women of the ages 27-40.
The family lived together until Seth was at the age of 8, Veronica at age 6. At this time, their parents had simply fallen 'out of love' and decided to get a divorce, for obvious reasons. Jennifer got half of everything, including half of their children, and moved to the other side of Ireland. Seth stayed with his father, and Veronica simply had no choice but to go with her mother, as she was at too young of an age to understand, or chose who she wanted to be with. So, from then on, Seth has lived in a weatherly life-style with his father, and it has been a happy life at that. Much contribution to this life, has been his best friend, Ryan Callahan. Since an age that Seth cannot remember, Ryan has been his best friend. They both made allot of trouble at school together, and both got punished for it, time and time again. They are known to be 'those inseparable twins' despite the fact that they don't actually look like brothers.
Unlike Ryan's parents, Seth's mother and father were both shocked and confused when he received a letter, inviting him to Hogwarts. They had never even considered that magic could be real, and when this opportunity arrived to prove it's existence, they simply didn't know what to do. There was the option of keeping the boy in Ireland, where he would be taught the normal way of living, and the essences of community. Or go off to some random school, and learn magic tricks. These were the obvious options that the Collins' assumed about this school, as they were not aware of how much potential it could actually offer. And as another note, Seth's best friend Ryan was also invited to attend, but had refused the offer. So that definitely meant Seth didn't what to go. So, a few years passed, Seth became to make more trouble, and his father heard news of Ryan being sent to this Hogwarts place. Now he naturally assumed Seth would want to follow in the footsteps of his best friend, and it was also decided that the Collins' boy would attend the school in it's third year.
He got his school supplies alright enough, finding that Olivander's was by-far the most interesting shop (this be where he acquired his 11 1/2 inch. wand, made of Jarrah wood, and a Dragon Heartstring core) So, after collecting such supplies, the boys were faced with having to get special magical training, prior to coming to Hogwarts. It was Ryan's mother that suggested that they should go to the Ministry of Magic to seek help, and thats where they went. The boys had a few ex-Professors that taught them the basics of what they would need to know when they went to Hogwarts. This included naming and introducing them to the Magical Creatures they would need to know about. After the few-day course had finished, Seth felt he was ready for anything and so, he went to Hogwarts, ready for making mischief.

[ Pros and Cons : ]
One of Seth's pro's is his drawling. Amazingly enough, behind is 'tough act' the boy has a passion for drawing. He loves to sketch people, cartoons, funny little animated stuff. He doesn't really like scenes or places, simply because the teenager just finds so much more emotions in people and their faces. The Collins boy has been drawing since a young age, and even though he won't admit it, would love to find a career in it one day. Not allot of people know about this passion, but the few that do, approve of it.
Alike his best friend, Seth is rather smart. He is better at subjects like English, Art and Maths, things that just... stick, rather than facts and time-lines and stuff like that. Art is just about the only subject at school that Seth enjoys, all the others are just drags, and he tends to muck up in such classes. At Hogwarts, the boy will be more likely to get better grades in practical subjects like Potions and Transfiguration, rather than the others.
Seth Collins is a great piece of company. He is a jolly chap to chat to, about anything really. No matter who you are, what you do, where you've come from, or where your going, Seth is willing to give someone a go, no matter their history. Well, thats if they haven't 'dissed' his friends or anything, that just makes his angry, but otherwise, anyone has a pretty good chance to get along with Seth. He has a good nature, and a bit of a dorky appeal to him, but really, the teenager is a gorgeous kid.
Alright, so no one is perfect, and everyone has flaws. Seth Collins speaks his mind a little more than he should. There are a heck of allot of smart alec comments and a couple of rude remarks hidden in there, whether it be about a teacher or a bad decision someone has made, but sometimes those comments just slip out. These range from 'under-your-breath' comments, to statements like 'thats-so-unfair-you-should-reconsider-things'. This can get the boy in quite allot of strife, and unlike Ryan, he hates consequences if he can avoid them.
At times, the boy is also considered to be unenthusiastic. Sometimes this is the case, but not all of the time. Some ideas just don't appeal to him, and therefore, he can seem ungrateful or the matter. A few times, Seth and Ryan have had a bit of a bif over Seth's foolishness, and unenthusiastic remarks, but they always get past it. Sarcasm also comes into this trait, and Seth uses this method quite allot, simply because it seems to be a natural reaction to some commands or actions he is told or suggested to do.
One more major con about Seth makes up his obvious personality. This Collins boy can be passed off as somewhat 'moody' or so to say. One moment the boy will be full of life, ready and eager to do anything, have lots of fun, be really flirty and look totally alive. Next moment, he could pass off as a moody teenager who doesn't want to be in this situation. Really, it's just a phase the boy is going through. It might be set off by something someone has said to purposefully discourage the boy, or simple a stupid comment, but thats all it takes. Seth snaps out of these bad moods most of the time, and only on a rare occasion will he stay in a crappy emotion.
[ Role Playing Example: ]
"Veronica," Seth's brown eyes glared at his little sister. "I swear, if you throw that at me, you will never see the light of day again." Seth Collins had just stepped out of the shower, towel wrapped around his body. But at the moment, he was frozen still, his bare feet cold on the white tiles of his mothers bathroom. His younger sister's face was fill of emotion, something the boy would have taken pleasure in sketching, but honestly, this was not the time. The younger girl of the Collins family had a water bomb in hand, filled with icy cold water. Seth was visiting his mother for the winter holidays, and after a long plane ride, a hot shower was just what he needed. The teenager had only been in the house for an hour or so, but already the two siblings were acting like they lived together every day of the year. "Veronica." Seth said again, more sternly. "Put, the bomb down." he pleaded, rather than stated.
A smirk crossed the young girl's face. In a split second, she hurled the bomb at his bare torso. The icy water burst open on Seth's chest, and he gasped in both surprise and pain, before grunted. "Veronica Collins! You are a gonnah!" he shouted, shaking the freezing water off his warm body. The 14-year-old grabbed onto the slip of his towel, and began to run pas the rooms, leaving drops of water dripping on the wooden floors of his mother's house. The Collins' boy glanced in each open-doored room as he by-passed them, looking for his sister.
After checking each door, the boy stopped at the end of the hallway, and looked down the stair-well. He decided against going down there, considering his mother and her new boyfriend were down there. And Jennifer's son in a towel, wasn't exactly the best image for a first impression. So, the boy turned around, still holding tightly onto his towel, and made his way to the room he called his own on these holidays. He glanced back wards once, before opening the door. Almost immediately, he regretted it. Another two blasts of cold water hit his body sharply, as his little sister ran past Seth, making his almost lose balance. Thank Merlin he didn't. The boy took a deep breathe in, before walking into his room, dripping wet. "I though towels were suppose to dry you, not make you wet..." he muttered to himself, shutting the door sharply and locking it.
Ah yes, a typical house-hold for the Collin boy.
