Full Name: Scott O'Riley Age: 17 Blood: Pure Alignment: Good House: Ravenclaw Personality: Scott is an extremely intellectually gifted student as noted as being Sorted into the Ravenclaw house. Knowing how to read peoples faces gives Scott the ability of telling if people are telling the truth or lying. He loves to make friends with people who are good-hearted people or are also brilliant students like himself. He tends to downplay his intelligence during any classes that are mixed with other houses by not answering questions that he may know just to try and minimize any unwanted attention since he is not fond of confrontations. When not looking over textbooks he does love to have a good laugh and some tea with his friends. Anything that Scott truly fears will never be completed no matter how he would truly want to. He loves Quidditch, he wants to play it so much, knows the rules, advanced strategies, goes to the Qudditch World Cup every 4 years with his parents, but both a fear of falling and confrontations keep him from achieving his dream of playing for the house team. He however spends his spare time assisting the Ravenclaw Quidditch house team. Being able to tell if people are telling the truth or lying is limited to non potion users so any information that is given out while anyone is under the effects of a veritaserum (as long as Scott doesn't know hey have taken it) or transformed with a polyjuice potion since they don't fall under the same normal characteristics for him to recognize. Scott's motivated to be one of the most intelligent students in his class and be a positive contributing member of the wizarding world when he finishes school. He one day hopes to make himself a household name . Bio\History: Where Scotts intelligence came from is not overly surprising given that both of his parents are skilled wizards, both of them have Aurors all of their lives. He has been naturally gifted ever since he was a child, being able to perform 4th & 5th year spells before even being old enough to be accepted into Hogwarts. When he was 5 years old was the first time that he had a run in with a muggle family ... and it wasn't an overly pleasant one. One day Scotts parents had come home and well into a deep sleep since they had been exhausted from the previous two days of hunting death eaters, so when his parents were asleep Scott had gotten up since he was awake, he had decided to go for a little walk. When he was on his way back home he took a right at the intersection before his house instead of a left, not knowing where to go he decided to ask one of the neighbors. They had been fighting over the loss of the husbands job all day. So when Scott knocked on the door, the husband yelled at him also without even hearing what the young child had to say. Scott got so frightened that he had cast a Incendio spell without meaning to in their basement, afraid he had run until he found his house. The couple did make it out alive but not without injury since they didn't have any fire alarms in the basement. They had second degree burns on 70% of their bodies. When the whole ordeal was over they had do erase the memories of that event from a total of 7 muggles (the family and a few observers on the street) After that incident they had moved into an all wizarding community. During his time of studies Scott has always been exceptional, the first day when he had the sorting hat placed on his head, he had the second fastest sorting into a house in Hogwarts history. During the O.W.L's Scott earned outstanding in all of the classes that he has taken (Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Defence Against, Potions, Care of Magical, and Astronomy) Appearance: [hider=Scott O'Riley].[img=http://www.homorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/arthur-kulkov.jpg][/hider] Wand: Sycamore w/ Dragon Core, 11 & 1/2 inches, slightly springy Notable skills:[list][*] Defensive Charms and Spells (thanks to his parents) [/*] [*] An extremely useful Photogenic Memory [/*] [*] Can understand language of common animals (cat, dog, owls), but not speak it[/*][/list] Patronus Charm: Duck Pet: [hider=Neptune the Dachshund][img=http://static.ddmcdn.com/en-us/apl/breedselector/images/breed-selector/dogs/breeds/dachshund-standard_01_lg.jpg][/hider]
