[b]Short Bio[/b]
[indent]Devin was born in Vancouver, BC in Canada to two muggle parents. One was an american working in the tech industry and the other was a veterinarian at the city Zoo. While visiting family living in French speaking Canada it was discovered that Devin had inherited the magical blood a portion of his mothers family still carried. Soon enough it was decided that he could pursue both education tracks. Spending the normal school year at Hogwarts and the summer catching up with his muggle studies.[/indent]
[b]Personality[/b]
[indent]Creative, resourceful, and intellectually quick are words Devin’s teachers would use to describe him on report cards. He is good at a broad range of things. Enjoys debating issues, and can be into "one-upmanship". Devin gets very excited about new ideas and projects, but can neglect the more routine aspects of life. Generally outspoken and assertive some might say he is a leader. Devin enjoys people and is stimulating company. Excellent ability to understand concepts and apply logic to find solutions.[/indent]

[indent]Devin is the founder and president of the Muggle Appreciation Club at Hogwarts. The club meets to celebrate muggle culture. At least that is what it is when talking to any professor. To Devin and other members it is a place where they can go to enjoy the comforts of the muggle world. At first it was seen as a weird thing that muggle born students went to, but after some time watching sports, partying because of some muggle holiday, and learning about muggle life had become fairly popular. Devin even got the school to allow the club room to be free of anti electricity charms so the TV and computers would work.[/indent]

[center]Character Connections[/center]

[hider=Anastasia (Ana) Borak]
Ana and Devin first met during the presorting hat ritual of taking boats to the school. His nervousness over the whole ordeal was written over his face and he found the fact that Ana seemed to know everything there was to know about the school and what was about to happen incredibly comforting. They have been study partners for a few projects and while many find her no nonsense study habits off putting Devin still enjoys her company when she allows him to bother her. He enjoys teasing her on how little about the muggle world she knows.

[hider=Kaelyn Cobble]
Kaelyn was Devin's first crush. That sort of crush you get when you meet someone who just doesn't seem to have any faults. Funny, flirty, and happy there was little in the way of flaws that Devin could see. Still the distance of two years meant Devin rarely had any interaction especially since they were in different houses. The crush steadily marched over to admiration.

[hider=Gabriel Mal Thea]
Devin was never one to fall into the whole rivalry between the houses (except for when Quidditch was being played) So it was a bit of a surprise when Devin began to socialize with Gabriel outside of classes. The two had more than their share of classes together. The biggest story between the two is one Devin loves to share and Gabriel hates to hear. During potions the two were partnered and Devin watched as Gabriel silently poured way to many merman tears into the potion. A second later the whole pot was bubbling green and explodes. The result of the potion was perfectly clean hair... in that Gabriel blew his entire head of hair off. Thankfully the two learned how to mix a hair growing potion to make up credit for failing the class exercise.

[hider=Lucine Scamander]
More than a few people have speculated that Lucine and Devin are sweethearts. Likely due to their mutual love for Care for Magical Creatures course. The worst was when the two were charged with putting a chupacabra back in a cage. The claws snagged both of them a few times and after finally getting it into its cage their clothes were mostly gone. Needless to say there were more than a few rumors and jokes wandering the halls at their expense.

[hider=Hannah Beckings]
Hannah is a member of Devin's Muggle Appreciation Club. While most know her as a somewhat shy student Hannah has let her hair down as it were in front of Devin several times. The most notable being when she first showed up to the Muggle Appreciation Club meeting. She had noticeably criticized the club as pointless to which Devin engaged in a battle of word tricks. In the end he won and she had to attend some of the meetings. Before long she was joining in meetings well past the agreement and the two became friends... He thinks. 
[/hider]

[hider=Jason “Jay” Vega]
Jason is Devin's best friend. Both born on the West coast of north america and from across the pond the two had a lot in common. Add in the fact that they are in the same house and you have two nearly inseparable buddies. The two are the founding members of the Muggle Appreciation Club which came about after the two realized they both love football and the Seahawks vs 49ers game was impossible to watch in Hogwarts. Since then people have told them that they can talk like they aren't in a school for magic. The two don't mind and often continue their conversation.
[/hider]

[hider=Luc Anaxi Lupin]
Luc rounds out what many in the school call the Griffindor Lions. With Devin being the Mane and Jay the Paw Luc is known as the roar. The three have been friends since first year. More trouble has befallen Devin because of Luc than any other member of Griffindor. This often comes into play when the two begin to compete over something completely pointless. Two happy go lucky competitive types is not what the grounds keeper of the school wants. The time they spent in detention is almost as much time as they practice on brooms.
