[b]World of Origin:[/b] Potterverse [b]Name:[/b] Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody [b]Age:[/b] 56 [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/4/4d/MoodyProfile.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/270?cb=20131225030732[/img] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] Alastor Moody comes from Wizarding Britain, as described in the Harry Potter novels. He comes from a pure-blood wizarding family, long known for its involvement in magical law and its enforcement. After graduating Hogwarts from Ravenclaw House, Alastor joined the Ministry of Magic and trained to become an auror himself. Over his long career as a catcher of dark wizards and witches, Alastor gained a reputation for being both terrifyingly effective, and a consumate survivor. During the First Wizarding War he fought as both an auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and lost a leg, an eye and part of his nose while fighting death eaters, adding to his already large number of scars. After the war ended, he replaced the most appendages and gained the nickname “Mad-Eye”, after the electric blue prosthesis that span constantly in its socket. During this time, he mentored Nymphadora Tonks, an auror in training and later a fellow Order member. In 1993 (before the Second Wizarding War), a magical mirror appeared in the ministry atrium, requesting aid from another dimension, and it was decided the Alastor would be sent to investigate. He packed up his gear and stepped through the glass into the unknown. [b]Powers: [/b]Alastor is a skilled wizard with many years of experience investigating supernatural crimes and bringing in the perpetrators. As such, he is skilled in a wide variety of spells, charms and potions, and performs much of his magic non-verbally. [b]Equipment:[/b] • Wand (ebony, dragon heartstring, 10 inches). This allows him to channel his magical abilities. • Magical eye, which can see through many forms of concealment • Magical trunk, which has seven locks and seven keys. Depending on which is opened, seven different interiors may be revealed, each one large on the inside than the apparent size of the trunk. This is filled with a number of useful magical artifacts, potion ingredients, spellbooks, an invisibility cloak and other posessioning that he deems it necessary to carry with him at all times. • A charmed walking stick • A flying broomstick, modified to let him sit in a upright position while riding it. [b]Personality:[/b] Alastor Moody is tough and brave. He has a gruff, surly disposition and frequently bellows his mantra of “constant vigilance” at people in order to keep them on their guard. Having encountered many dangerous experiences throughout his career, he is hyper-paranoid and thought of by many as being delusional. He prepares all of his own meals and drinks only from his personal flask in case someone tried to poison him. He is also very distrusting of most people, being very careful of who he relays facts about his personal life to, keeping what he considers to be important information back even from his colleagues and superiors in the Ministry of Magic. He has a well-known habit of being set off by sudden noises or movements in his presence and even attacked a witch who shouted “boo” at him on April Fool’s Day. He even destroyed a birthday present carriage clock, believing it was a cleverly disguised basilisk egg, and was described in a Daily Prophet article as having left the Ministry when deemed "Unable to tell the difference between a handshake and attempted murder."
