[hider=Harry Dresden][center][img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/beccastareyes/rpg/harry_profile.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name[/b]: Harry Dresden [b]Age[/b]: Nearing 40 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Race[/b]: Human (Wizard) [b]Physical Description[/b]: Harry has a long lean face, dark eyes, a vertical line of a scar under the left one. He is tall and fit. He doesn't wear a beard and is instead clean shaven. [b]Personality[/b]: [quote=http://digitaldive.wikidot.com/]Harry is basically a good guy. He opened his private practice to help people who needed helping. He's also got a chivalric code — he can't stand seeing a woman or child in distress, and may make questionable judgment calls involving women. Harry is also stubborn as all hell, which can both keep him going against impossible odds and make him unable to give up on things. He's got a sharp wit, and is very irreverent, and is known for making witty comebacks, often to people he probably shouldn't. It goes well with his anti-authoritarian streak — he's considered a bit of a loose cannon on the White Council and was only made a Warden (a magical enforcer) because the Council was seriously shorthanded on wizards trained in combat magics.[/quote] [b]History[/b]: [quote=Dresden Files Wiki]Harry was born on Halloween, to Margaret LeFay and Malcolm Dresden. His mother died in childbirth, so Malcolm took care of him while travelling across the country trying to make a career as a stage magician. When Harry was six, Malcolm died of a brain aneurysm. Harry, orphaned, became a ward of the state. Harry first manifested his powers at age ten, during a running long jump at school Olympics in the spring. About two weeks after first manifesting, he was adopted by Justin DuMorne, a wizard and former Warden of the White Council, who took him as his apprentice. At sixteen, DuMorne tried to enthrall both Harry and his girlfriend, fellow adoptee Elaine Mallory. He succeeded in enthralling Elaine, but Harry escaped. He faced and beat He Who Walks Behind, an Outsider summoned by DuMorne to kill Harry; afterwards, he decided to go back and rescue Elaine. Harry made a bargain with the Leanansidhe in which he received power enough to defeat Justin DuMorne, a debt he would owe his godmother for years to come. Harry faced DuMorne in a duel to the death and won. He stole Bob, the air spirit of knowledge, and left, thinking Elaine died in the fire. Harry was then found by the White Council and was put on trial for breaking the First Law of Magic. He was let off the death penalty due to the killing being ruled as self defense, and instead was put under the Doom of Damocles. Harry was taken in as apprentice by Ebenezar McCoy, Harry's grandfather. Harry lived with McCoy on his farm in Hog Hollow, Missouri; his days were spent with hard work on the farm during the day, and studying in the evening. Although McCoy taught him about magic, his teaching of general values and providing a stable and peaceful life and home were even more important, and crucial for shaping his life. After spending some years "getting his head together" under McCoy's tutelage, Harry attained membership to the Council, though he didn't, and still doesn't, trust them. He spent some years travelling across America, much like he did with his father, before settling down in Chicago. After he first came to Chicago, he worked at a bunch of different jobs. He then joined Nicholas Christian at Ragged Angel Investigations, where he spent three years gaining his licence as a private investigator. After this, he opened his own business, which had been open for two years as Storm Front opens.[/quote] [b]Skills[/b]: [list][*]Is a P.I.[*]Listening- When Harry focuses he can hear things most normal people can't.
