[Hider=This Guy] Name: Simon Tragswin [b]Age[/b]: 18 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]House[/b]: Ravenclaw [hider][img] http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2010/10/15/15/enhanced-buzz-7584-1287171579-24.jpg [/img][/hider] Appearance: Simon likes to keep his appearance clean cut. He habitually shaves, firstly out of habit but now due to the way the world is and how dangerous a simple strand of hair could cause a lot of danger to oneself and others around them. When it comes to attire, Simon tries to not stand out. Though he is in good shape also due to keeping himself out of danger he hides it with loose fitting clothes to hide the fact and try to stay under the radar. [b]Blood Status[/b]: Mud Blood [b]Abilities[/b]: Simon puts all his effort into studies and tries not to mingle with too many people until he knows he can trust them. Especially those from Slytherin. Simon is fascinated with all forms of magic and magical tools. Simon excels in making potions as well has a strong interest in Herbology due to the connection to ingredients for potion making. Simon has also taken up Occlumency to defend himself against those that might try to find out about his parents Simon has also achieved one of his goals while studying transfiguration. In his fifth year Simon secretly became an Animagus. Simon takes on the form of Chimpanzee with black fur. Fearing for his life, mind, and soul, Simon also learned the patronus charm, which takes on the form of Leatherback sea turtle [b]Best Spell[/b]: Obliviate [b]Personality[/b]: Simon is always cautious about his surroundings and is naturally distrustful of others. This innate distrust was planted inside him by his mother and it has become much more acute as he learned about all dangerous spells and potions that exist in the world as he studied at Hogwarts. Strangely Simon's grades do not reflect his actual intelligence. During classes he breezes through them with little effort that many consider him a lucky due to the fact that when it comes to tests he is never top of the class. This is due to his concern of standing out. Simon keeps to himself and can almost be found in the potions class trying to create potions and can almost always be found with a book in hand. He is approached by quite a few people asking for help in potions and he casually helps them out by giving them some pointers. This has given him a small network of friends and acquaintances. Simon respects talent and intelligence above all things. Though his own blood makes him biased he does not care whether someone is a muggle, mud blood, squib, or pure blood. He judges people based on the work they put in with the resources that they have. [b]History[/b]: Simon is the only son of of Vivian and Kevin Tragswin. Simon's father is a muggle who works at college as a Chemistry Professor and Simon's mother is a witch whose parents are both muggles. Luckily Simon's mother was not an extraordinary witch which allowed her to stay under the radar of many other students and professors. Sadly she had very few friends but she was perfectly happy living a normal life with her family and having a normal muggle job and simply using magic to impress her son and husband. Both parents worked hard for their son Simon in case he himself had the aptitude to become a wizard. When he learned of the magical world his mother and father warned him of Voldemort and death eaters and told him to always be careful. Before he even entered Hogwarts Simon tried to learn as much as he could about the wizarding world, it's history, the laws, defensive spells (though these were beyond his abilities he still wanted to know what spells he should focus on to keep himself self) and this is when he came across Occlumency. He was nine years old when he first learned about this obscure magic and it took another year before he was first successful in using it. Every day he trained his mind using points, tips, and advice from the books of wizards who talked about how one must be strong of will to fight many curses and spells. It was thanks to this that he was able to avoid trouble as well as become a consummate liar. Through his years in Hogwarts he heard about Harry Potter and his friends. He wasn't particularly impressed with his talents but he was by his courage. At least until he ran away from the great battle. This affirmed Simon's belief that one's own skills were far more impressive and practical over bravery and friendship. He toiled in the potions room most of the days trying his skill in creating difficult potions. He has accomplished many of his goals, but they are always replaced by new ones. One of his current goals is to successfully brew Liquid Luck. [b]Extra[/b]: Simon's familiar is a Northern Pygmy Owl named Titan(one of the smallest animals in the world). Simon's wand is a 11.3 inch Oak with a phoeniz feather as its core.
