[sub][i]'If hairs be wires, black wires grow on his head'[/i]

A wavering presence bodes well with the attention-fleeing Chris. A body much too forgettable to notice, a being that is easily left behind in a variety of pretty faces. Chris is lean, short and fit enough to appear healthy despite the days he may go without eating out of stress. Haggard lines, gaunt and ghastly, coat his waist and thighs, various stretch marks and scar from childhood bullying and scraps, and all are hidden below sweaters and shirts of dim colors. He is far from a brute, in fact he is more akin to a caffeine-craving thespian, one who dances and sings instead of runs and jumps for fun and spends his other days lounging out under some tree starving and sleeping the afternoon away.

Curling hair is kept short to his head out of necessity, and is black in color and wiry in texture. His eyes gleam out beyond heavy-lidded bags, a startling pale blue against his tanner skin and dark locks. Prominent lips, a solid nose, and broad eyebrows make up the rest of his appearance, though everything is normally hidden behind veils and hoods. Chris is handsome, but at the same time not. A well-sculpted face but eternal frightened expression confounds most viewers, and due to his one-answer attitude and meek personality most end up expecting nothing new from the shy boy. Sleep has since been cruel to him, and most days leave him with dark eyes and gaunt cheeks.[/sub]

[indent]Owl
[sub]The patronus of an owl symbolizes a strong aura of wisdom, and individuals with it shine intellectually.  They are not very social people, but they tend to be very admired for the impression their blatant knowledge of  the world. Others tend to be comfortable going to these persons for advice, because they know they are  trustworthy. They enjoy this reputation, as they love having the ability to steer others into the proper  direction. Common in bird patronuses, the owl has a strong spirit that gives them a freedom to do as they  please, with little interference of the opinion’s of society.

[indent]Meek. The perfect word to describe Chris Abbott. Words are often lost to his shy tongue, thrown into a vast world of unknowing and fear due to anxiety and insecurities. Chris is quiet, but not because he [i]like[/i] being quiet, rather the reason is more akin to him being terrified of others. He hates the idea of verbal arguments or insults, and as such he keeps himself withdrawn and wordless until he is with others he knows. Countless past mishaps have lead up to his generally anti-social behaviors, and while he hates this part of himself to no end he has no true desire to fix it.

Curiosity is Chris' driving force. It keeps him focused and well-read, as well as busy. He is a true intellectual, one who seeks out answers only to be fine with finding more questions. With all his introvert-gained free time he has spent countless hours reading and researching things that may drive him mad with unanswered ideals. His curiosity may insight some recklessness at times, however, and those close to Chris often have to convince him when not to chase down an answer.  His thirst for knowledge also makes him quite studious, and due to his he has memorized countless potion recipes and spells just to have for a rainy day. His brains would make him the best choice for a tutor, but his quick lips and shy stares obviously wouldn't cut it for that job.

Despite his anxious self, Chris has shown moments of true bravery when faced with the thought of someone he loves getting hurt. He is selfless, able to throw himself in the way of danger just so someone else could make it out okay. Bravery comes in short bursts for him, but when it does all logic is thrown out the door in favor of an emotional response. Speaking of, Chris considers himself a logical person. He relies on facts to make opinions, and if not for the more thoughtful side of him he would easily fall into a routine of crying or complaining every day of his life. Underneath that logic, of course, is the emotional side of Chris. The side that cries out in sadness when he makes a single mistake, and the side that punches a wall in rage when his perfect streak is finally broken. Chris' relies on perfection to feel good about himself, and when he fails he may fall into an intense, few-days-lasting depression. Tears are no unknown feat for him, and he is often chastised by his friends or family for crying so easily.[/indent]

[indent]Chris was born into a middle-class, Egyptian family in Pittsburg, PA. His father was a kind man, air-headed but knowledgeable, and he worked as a university professor in the liberal arts department. His mother stayed at home most days and cared for him and the house, and though she was a bit fiery Chris remembers her as being quite a caring mother. He grew up meekly, often pushed through bullies in school and tried to keep his head low, because he knew something was different with him. He knew he wasn't like the other kids. And the other kids knew as well. They pulled at his pants in the halls and tripped him in the aisles in class, and Chris kept it all hidden from his folks, deeming them already too stressed with their own lives to worry about him.

His first instance of magic came when the fifth grade bullying became a bit too rough. He had been punched full on in the face and, in a moment of panic, he set the grass around him alight. The boys ran off in fear, and Chris was left stupefied by the sudden flames around him. Curiosity and fear made him sought out answers, and he researched through countless books and online sources until he eventually brought his new found abilities to his parents. They were confused, but still as caring as ever. His mother grew much more protective of him, and his father also began to look into his powers until the first letter came.

Salem Witches' Institute. Chris read through the acceptance letter ecstatically, but his parents seemed wary.A bit of convincing showed them how this could help him, and eventually Chris was sent off to his first year with cheap robes and a wand that seemed made just for him. The rest of his years leading up to his current were full of quiet moments and intense research. He caught on quickly in classes, finding that the topics taught were much more interesting then real muggle schooling, and he has since made his mark on the school with his high scores and emotional, oddly quiet ways.[/indent]

[indent][b] Amr Said Abbott (47)[/b] - Chris' extremely supportive and extremely dimwitted father. He is a man who was once very agile but has since been plagued with the illness of age, an illness that has since taken away his ability to walk without an aid. Chris loves his father to death, even if his constant questions and mistranslated wordings get a bit annoying after some time. Amr bears the most resemblance to Chris save for his pin-straight, light brown hair and dark eyes.

[b]Mona Hanan Abbott (45)[/b] - Chris' short, fiery mother. She is fiercely loyal to her family and even more loyal to secrets, and after Chris discovered his powers she vowed to keep hims safe and happy despite them. Her constant coddling, however, may be the reason for Chris' emotional and shy ways. Mona shares Chris' black, curly hair and bright eyes.

[indent][indent]A crow named Thalath. Chris found him a few years before coming to Salem and the two have been inseparable ever since. Thalath is incredibly clever and witty and seems to have gotten his Chris impersonation down to a tee. Thalath spends most of his time in Chris' dorm or flying out and about the Salem campus looking for food, and often times students will use him to locate carrion and other rotting items for homework, potions, or just to play with.[/indent][/indent]
