Personality: When one first introduces themselves to Jaxon, the first thing they'll notice is how unsure the young man is about the whole situation. He's not a very big talker, and tends to be shy and hesitant in social situations. His eyes take everything in and hyper analyze before he says a word. It's a methodical process and one that the Ravenclaw uses as both a defense mechanism and a learning one. New situations scare him, and he has to find his place in them before he's comfortable. He's very observant and Intelligent and his everyday movements are a testament to that fact. Once you break through that mechanism though you will find a rather lonely young man who has been waiting for people to give him a chance. He's loyal, not to the zeal that Hufflepuff's have, but loyal nonetheless and once you're his friend he will have your back, through thick and thin. He's exceptionally adaptable as well, his skill at watching and absorbing his schoolmates interactions allowing him to handle simple conversations as if he was a pro, which is a stark contrast to his actual feelings on meeting new people. He holds this façade over his defensive analyzation as an extra layer of defense.
When not confronted by direct human contact, such as classroom settings, and the dueling ring his personality shifts to a more serious side. He lets his hubris show through with his arrogant stances and underestimation of his opponents. It's a serious flaw and one that he recognizes as a problem and as such is one he's actively working on fixing. He's also extremely verbose for no reason other than to show off, and takes pride in trapping his classmates in verbal traps or talking them in circles with long winded answers. He also doesn't admit that he's wrong unless one literally is holding a blade to his neck and is threatening to slice his throat. He thrives in chaotic situations as his mind works insanely quickly, and goes over data stored in his brain at a rapid fire pace. This is exceptionally powerful due to the fact that he boasts a photographic memory. He's also a very defensive person, preferring to exhaust his opponents into making a fatal mistake before ending the fight. He lacks power but more than makes up for that with his wit and his unique style which uses his opponents strengths against them.

History
Biography:
The House of Chaucer is an old one, a House that originated in England but left when the British Empire began sending groups to Australia. They were one of 8 pureblooded wizard families that settled upon the pacific island and have great prestige on the opposite side of the world. They are renowned for their supportive tendencies, be it mapmaking, diplomacy, defense, exploration, secretaries, or even magistrates. They have a history for being unbiased and the Ministry of Magic within Australia has had its fair share of Chaucers in the seat of Minister.
But while the family is prestigious it didn't start gaining global reputation until one Henry Chaucer, born in 1965. Henry as a child was extremely well behaved and was the perfect pureblood, but had such empathy as well for one so young. He started schooling in 1976 in Australia and received top marks throughout his career as a student. When he graduated in 1982 he was accepted into the Ministry and into the Foreign Affairs office. His first position? That of liaison to Great Britain itself. Henry was an instant favorite within the British Ministry and also made good allies with many of the Pureblooded Houses that called England home. One family in particular stood out, as Henry fell deeply in love with one of its members. One Isabella Hastings.

One family in particular stood out, as Henry fell deeply in love with one of its members. One Isabella Hastings.
The House of Hastings originates in Wales, an old House and very spiritualistic. It was founded after General Maximus left Britain in a bid for Imperial power and left his father in law in control of the provinces. Many Welsh tribes formed and House Hastings was formed as stewards and servants for the most powerful. They became advisors, shamans, generals, attendants, and the House flourished. As the world changed House Hastings did not, continuing to serve the ruler of Wales which soon enough as the English King. They are well known in the wizarding world as master Charms masters and spellseers, understanding magic on a deep and spiritual level. They have a bond with magic, a pact that has been passed down from the early shamanistic rituals to the current modernization of the Ministry. They are a fierce vote within the Wizengamot and control a powerful Party to themselves that is dedicated to archiving wizarding history, and respecting magic as a whole.
The Wizarding wars showed that House Hastings was not pacifists however as many of their number served as Aurors and unspeakables. They were fiercly patriotic and formed a safe zone around the mansion of the Hastings family for wizards and witches of Wales to hide out and be safe. Recently the House has had fame thanks to Isabella Hastings, a Hogwarts graduate who became a Quidditch professional in the Welsh premiere league. Isabella was a Hufflepuff while in school and was an extremely gifted student, she received top marks in her OWLS, and NEWTS and could have had any job she desired, as such she worked a part time job as undersecretary for the Department of International Magical Cooperation, which is where she met Henry Chaucer of Australia and fell in love.

Jaxon was born in 1990, fifteen minutes before his twin Jacob, and even then was enraptured with the world around him. He was raised in Wales, inside the Hastings Mansion which was located deep in the dense forests and was surrounded by ancient magic. The Hastings family took over his and Jacob's tutoring in the younger years, helping their parents raise them and engraining the Hastings family's beliefs, of respecting magic and nature, into them. The twins were good students, and soaked in the knowledge even if Jaxon seemed to understand things a bit easier. It was found the boy had a photographic memory during a lesson in Charms when Jax could recite the entirety of the Hogwarts First Years spell list.
The twins lives happily, stress free and enjoying life until the second Wizarding War came to them. Jaxon was seven at the time and the year was 1997, Voldemort had heard of the Hastings family's resistance and protection of Welsh Wizards and desired to send a message. He infiltrated the Hasting's mansion with his followers and ambushed Jaxon and his brother Jacob as they were returning to the mansion from the forest. Both were heavily wounded and traumatized from the event, but were saved from death. The family moved in its entirety to Australia and to the Chaucer estate where they begun the slow process of healing. Quidditch was Jaxon's healing technique and he poured his time into the air with his Mother, who had taken a break from the professional scene while the war waged. For an entire year the twins recovered from their wounds and breathed easy when word of Voldemort's defeat came a year later.
Henry and Isabella, the twins parents left the children in Australia while they returned to the British ministry and left them in the care of the Chaucer's. At this point the family had grown, Jaxon and Jacob were now 8, while their younger brother Hudson was 4, and a second set of twins Lachlan and Zara were 2. Jax was given new tutors and taught of the Chaucer side of his family and all of its history. He flourished with his studies but spent much of his time flying. He had became a much quieter boy after the attack, and flinched at the slightest startle. His brother Jacob was even worse off and had to continue therapy to even function. They both lost sleep and couldn't stand being apart from each other for even a few minutes.
It took two years to finally break them of this, two years to heal to a live able situation and now armed with the knowledge of both sides of their families the twins were moved back to England, to a new Manse being built in the Welsh country. His father took over as the Department leader of International Magical Cooperation and his Mother returned to Professional Quidditch. Things began to look up for the twins and the following year they were both accepted into Hogwarts. It was a time of pure delight and the previous darkness seemed to be being put behind them, even if some of the healing needed to still be done. Sorting for the twins was an interesting affair, Jaxon was placed in Ravenclaw almost instantly but his twin was a hat stall. For fifteen minutes the hat deliberated before finally yelling out Hufflepuff. It was the first time the twins would be separated in a living environment and hey struggled at the beginning.
Jaxon lost a lot of sleep, though kept up with his schoolwork thanks to his tutoring and mind. He also couldn't really release any stress since he wasn't allowed to fly as a first year. As such he instead turned to Dueling, and threw himself into learning combative magic. He was determined never to be a victim again and spent tons of his time and his sleepless nights studying spells and improving his stances. His schoolwork was robotic and lacked any emotion, but it was good and he achieved top marks in all classes at the end of the year. The second year was much better for the twins as both had started getting accustomed to life without the other. Jacob flourished in Hufflepuff and had many friends while Jaxon simply had study mates but tempered his lack of 'friends' with Dueling and Quidditch. He was accepted as a Substitute Chaser on the Ravenclaw team but performed so well in practices and had such drive he was moved to starter. He employed his strategies with the Captain and helped come up with many team plays. In school he had begun to improve from robot into actual student in some lessons but still put it as a backdrop to his Dueling and Quidditch play.
Third year and Fourth Year were both simply rapid fire routines of the second. Jaxon was an extremely accomplished student duelist at this time and his flying improved drastically as he grew up. He was the Co-captain in his Fourth Year and was the go to strategist for the team. He had been targeted by the other teams a few times but his skill with defensive Charms usually led to the attackers being served detention and himself getting a pass as he never attacked back. He spent all of his free time in the library to keep up his high grades and had a triumvirate of expectations for the two years. First was Dueling, second was Quidditch, and third were his classes of which he had added Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes. Friends were a low totem pole item and he continued to simply exist in the castle.
Going into the Fifth Year his parents have requested that he actually try and become social as they were worried about their son whom still wasn't fully healed like his twin from the childhood trauma they received. Jacob had become a social butterfly and a heartbreaker around the Castle while Jaxon was the one nobody really seemed to want to approach. Jax promised his parents he would try and reorganized his lists a bit. He would put friends up in the same category as his others so he could continue focusing on what he loved while hopefully finding people that also loved them.
Dreams and Goals: He wants to become a Spellcrafter and Auror, or a Quidditch Pro.

💛 Damian Griffin 💛
"Dame has been a great dorm mate so far, used to have a thing for him. Glad that's passed, would make living in the same room a bit awkward..."
"Dame has been a great dorm mate so far, used to have a thing for him. Glad that's passed, would make living in the same room a bit awkward..."
Damian has been living under the same roof as Jaxon since year one. He knows more about the quiet Ravenclaw than anyone else when it comes to Jax's quirks, though even he doesn't know everything. Dame is also a Quidditch comrade and is one of the first people Jax stated as a defense to his parents when they told him he needed to find friends.
👋 Halle Moore 👋
"The Puffs got a pretty good Keeper, hard to strategize around when she blocks everything anyway"
"The Puffs got a pretty good Keeper, hard to strategize around when she blocks everything anyway"
Jaxon hasn't had much interaction with Halle, but does know her from Quidditch when she blocks his goals. She's challenged him indirectly to come up with even crazier offensive maneuvers to throw her off balance.
🎆 Thomas Korevny 🎆
"Oh yea, Thomas. Wow, he's hard to describe. A good Dueler and someone I'd like to get to know a bit more..."
"Oh yea, Thomas. Wow, he's hard to describe. A good Dueler and someone I'd like to get to know a bit more..."
The relationship between Thomas and Jaxon is awkward at best and a tinderbox at worst. This is compounded by the fact that Jax currently has a bit of a schoolboy crush on the Slytherin bad boy. It also doesn't help that they see each other in both Dueling club, and Quidditch but it's something that's ongoing. For now, Jax considers him a neutral party but one he wants to spend some time with.
💘 Elliot Forrester 💘
"Who? Ohhhh, right. Um, he's really cool for a Gryffindor... *blush*"
"Who? Ohhhh, right. Um, he's really cool for a Gryffindor... *blush*"
Jaxon has had a crush on the Gryffindor since Third Year, right after he got over his own dorm mate. Elliot reminds Jaxon of what he could have been and used to be before that fateful night. He respects how sure of themselves all Gryffindors are and Elliot is no different. Besides the kid is a great seeker as well. Jax is also 'stuck' tutoring the Gryffindor in Charms, something Jaxon doesn't mind doing, but it's hard to focus on tutoring when also trying not to stare.
👋 Miley Witherspoon 👋
"A fellow Ravenclaw, and a great student. She's also a pretty good study buddy."
"A fellow Ravenclaw, and a great student. She's also a pretty good study buddy."
Most of Miley and Jax's interactions have come from studying together and during classes. She's someone that Jax can easily tolerate and he works well with the silent comradery she offers.
😈/🙇 Elspeth Macbain 😈/🙇
"This is really hard to explain, she's great but also really competitive. Really pushes me."
"This is really hard to explain, she's great but also really competitive. Really pushes me."
Elspeth is one of the brightest students in her year, and the two of them trade high scores as if they were a married couple sharing custody. Beyond that the Slytherin is a great duelists and Jax's go to partner. The two of them have had hour long duels before, and Jax has more respect for her than any other fighter in the school at the moment. She's someone that Jax wishes to reach out to, in order to cultivate something more than just 'go to rival'.
💛 Piper Ward 💛
"The secret friend. Not many people know that me and her talk I don't think."
"The secret friend. Not many people know that me and her talk I don't think."
Piper as a Slytherin is not someone that Jax would usually approach, but he had the chance to see her fighting in an abandoned room and has since then made it his mission to get her to join the dueling club. He and Piper have fought many times and Jax finds it refreshing to fight someone that has a similar style to his own. Beyond that she also really enjoys Charms and the subtler arts of magic. Overall, someone that Jax intends to cultivate as a friend.
💛 Lara Donner 💛
"Lara has helped me out so many times. I owe her for keeping my secret."
"Lara has helped me out so many times. I owe her for keeping my secret."
Jaxon has done a good job of hiding his panic attacks. Normally, managing to control them until he can get to a Professor. But when he couldn't Lara has been at his side every time. After the first time she has a radar for when the attacks start and will find him. Beyond being his saving grace she's a great housemate and good study partner as she spends a lot of time in the library.
🌓 Brady James 🌓
"Don't know a whole lot about him, keeps to himself like I tend to"
"Don't know a whole lot about him, keeps to himself like I tend to"
The Hufflepuff is an enigma to Jaxon, all he knows about him is his abilities in Quidditch. He has seen Brady in remedial classes however and has been working up the courage to approach him and offer help. Perhaps time to revive the cross House study group.
👋 James Dalton 👋
"What an intriguing Gryffindor. He's a worthy Chaser and I respect him as a Captain of a team."
"What an intriguing Gryffindor. He's a worthy Chaser and I respect him as a Captain of a team."
Other than Quidditch, Jaxon only has interactions with the Gryffindor in his elective classes. He knows the teen has an interest in Ancient magic however and Jax plans to let him borrow one of the Hastings family books on the subject at some point.
