Name: Lachlan (LOCK-Len) Martin Everwood Age: 11 Appearance: [hider=Lachlan][img]http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/8069834/600full-steele-stebbins.jpg[/img][/hider] Personality: Pure-blood to the very bone Lachlan has been raised to hate muggle borns and to make sure everyone else knows it. Lachlan himself however while born that way, and raised that way still has tolerance and will make friends with anyone. As a child Lachlan showed early the signs of a Slytherin. Cold cunning, calculations, ambition, and huge drive to succeed no matter what. The boy started practicing the wand movements and incantations of spells separately trying to get an edge in his classes and to make sure his family name was respected, despite being new to the country. He prefers knowledge as power and loves a good book more than anything else. Lachlan possesses great reflexes and promises to be a world class duelist at some point. History: Lachlan was born in Sydney Australia to two of the most powerful wizards in that country. They were Dark Wizards but in Australia the Dark Wizard's weren't all that strict as they were in Britain, they were much more relaxed around Muggle born and accepted them as long as they showed magical skill. His parents were the head a organization they founded to help support Dark Magic around the world and as such they of course came into contact with Britain's prideful Dark Scholars. They convinced Lachlan's parents to move over and as they arrived became inserted into the political game of Pure-blood that was played by aristocratic families such as the Malfoy's and Black's. Lachlan was only 5 when the move occurred. As he grew he was introduced to the pure-blood superiority doctrine by his parents who were becoming more and more pulled to such blood discrimination by the company they now kept. But Lachlan was strong-willed even at the age of 10 and found that he'd prefer to make such judgements on his own and not to allow his parent's or their friends to sway him in a certain direction. His father like may of the other pure-blooded wizards and witches strived to prepare his son for the best possible chance at Hogwarts leaving the poor boy with hardly any free time for himself making him learn wand movements using a wooden spoon, practicing his spell annunciation with a tutor, and even daily dueling lessons and exercise designed to hone his reflexes. Lachlan for his part hated not being able to be a kid and longed for the rush of fresh hair on his face as he rode his broomstick around. It was very rare but his father did allow him to play with the other pure-blooded children and Lach was a natural on the broomstick the quick reflexes that his dueling lessons were honing showing when he played Chaser. He wanted nothing more (even if his dad didn't approve), more so actually than to play for his house team and was determined to get the position. When he turned 11 it was no surprise when he got his letter of acceptance and he joined the numerous other excited kids in Diagon Alley to get his supplies. He is very much ready to get to Hogwarts and start HIS chapter of life. Not his fathers, not his mothers, but his own.
