Xaden, Abraxos
15 November 10, 2004 Hogwarts Student Fourth Year Halfblood Hogwarts | PERSONALITY: Sharp, vindictive, helpful, caring, introverted, artistic, unwittingly charismatic. Xaden is one who has a number of acquaintances and only a small group of close friends. He tends to be somewhat of an odd loner- drifting away to be by himself for a time before returning to the larger group and enjoying the company. He's an adventurous spirit, always willing to try something at least once before deciding whether or not it works or he likes it. If not for his tendency to put schoolwork aside until he's left with no other options, he could have been a Ravenclaw. He's very intelligent in a 'savvy' sort of way but doesn't much care for studying. He has no real idea of what to be when he grows up and is really just attending school because that's what wizards do. He's got time, anyway. The grades and such really won't matter until fifth year. For whatever reason, he can never stop himself from taking charge when it seems like no one else will. If there's another person in the group willing to lead, great. Otherwise, he finds himself stepping to the front again and again. It's not a bad thing, just a little confusing to him. Why do people seem so willing to listen to him? ASPIRATION: At this point, he's living life project by project. He might rework some clothes, paint something, write some poetry, or compulsively decorate the dorm. Other than that, he tends to just see where the wind will take him- at least until he feels that weird need to take responsibility for a group. | LIKES: - Long periods of time when he can work on a project - Trying new things - His friends - New experiences - Muggle music DISLIKES: - Boredom - Textbooks - Bullies - Too-sweet things - The weird 'old fashioned' way wizards do things |
FAMILY MEMBERS. | Father- Victor Abraxos, 40's, ministry official, Slytherin Mother- Arnette Abraxos, 40's, model, Ravenclaw Older Brother- Xander Abraxos, 16, Slytherin Younger Sister- Xavia Abraxos, 12, Slytherin |
CHILDHOOD. | Xaden was born into a family of ambitious ladder-climbers who saw what they wanted and did what they could to attain it. For Xaden himself, the ambition never really...stuck. Even as a young child, he was fine when things didn't really go his way. It was mildly disappointing, but he had other things he wanted or that he could do. His father was baffled, his brother put-off, and his mother amused. As he grew, Xaden further confused his father by pursuing most things artistic rather than what could be described as ‘useful skills’. He showed disdain at the thought of joining the ministry, suggesting instead that he could simply paint the Minister’s portrait for them. His father seemed to hope that he would eventually grow out of his artistic streak. As he became older, though, it only grew. It was partially spurred on by his mother, whose middling popularity meant showcasing various magical styles for a variety of magazines and photoshoots. Xaden was enthralled by the clothes she wore and the magic used to make them what they were. He was equally enticed by the use of makeup to enhance a model’s features. His mother was beautiful in her own right, but they somehow made her different each time. Softer, striking, ethereal, whatever was needed in the moment. By the time he reached Hogwarts, he was very much cemented in his desire to create beautiful things. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | Everyone who knew the Abraxos family was surprised when their middle child was sorted into Hufflepuff. While the boy had always had a different demeanor than his parents and siblings, many had assumed he would at least go into Ravenclaw. Xaden himself had thought that. According to his father and brother, Hufflepuff was the most useless house. Once again, his mother proved to be his source of solace. Her letters were full of reassurances that his father was not upset, only -once again- perplexed. Having come from a wizarding home, Xaden was accustomed to magic when he entered Hogwarts. He was not accustomed to using magic, though. He quickly proved that he had little patience for textbook learning and much preferred a hands-on approach. He had a few potions mishaps in his first year, impatience leading to a sometimes minorly destructive outcome. He learned to control that impatience by his second year, more out of necessity than anything. People began disappearing, students taken from the school, other students rising up in protest. Xaden wanted nothing to do with it. He kept his head down as much as possible, hoping that he, his friends, and his siblings would be safe. The threat passed within the year and the ‘bad guys’ were no longer a threat. Life returned to a semi-normal state. His third year was mostly quiet, spent working on his art and wondering if he should make good on his idea to paint a mural in the Astronomy tower. At one point he did manage to sneak into the Forbidden Forest without being caught, just for the hell of it. Fourth year is proving to be more exciting with the Tournament going on. Good exciting- not bad exciting. He could do without that. Though, if the news is true, then the bad exciting might be coming sooner than he would like… |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Her touch was startling, a sudden prod of warmth where previously he had been numb. He blinked at her, the light returning fully to his eyes as he became present again. Right. It wouldn't do them any good to return to that beach- no matter how often their minds took them there.
And then it was his turn. His turn to place his hand over hers and squeeze just slightly to draw her back to the present. Control. That made a good deal of sense, given what he already knew. He could do that. He'd become rather experienced in training fey over the years, though he'd never thought he'd be teaching her.
"I think we can manage," he said with a weak imitation of his usual boyish grin.
It disappeared quickly, as though the effort of keeping it there taxed him too much to do so. He wasn't ready to truly smile again. Not when grief still squatted on his chest to reach inside and wring his heart.
Don't let me hurt you, too.
A telling statement, and one that he decided not to unpack. He gave her another nod, another squeeze, and then pulled his hand back.
"I promise."
Another potential lie that fell too easily from his lips. Another whisper that he was foolish to ever believe he could make any promises at all in these times.
"We'll start this evening, yeah?" he said, refusing to linger.
