Name: Ralin Tyrn O'Faerlun
Age: 25
Birthdate/place: [25-05-2013]
Species: Werewolf
Gender: Male
Family: Orphan, adopted by Ralph/Jean Harkness (deceased)
Appearance:
Hair: Irish red
Eyes: Bright green
Build/height- Fiery Irish blood gives the young man a height of 5'5", but his energy and agility makes up for lack of vertical advantage. That same Irish blood gives him red hair, lean limbs, grass-green eyes and freckles across his pale skin. His compact size, strong hands and wide shoulders steady Ralin’s wiry frame, making it easy for him to do an Inverted Drunken Troll-in-a-Basket Tackle without flinging himself into the Quidditch green like a lawn dart.
General Description- Athletics have always come easy to the Irish man, even when he was a lad fast legs would keep him away from angry orphanage patrons, or the Hogwarts groundskeeper. Even now, despite missing out on Quidditch tryouts, he keeps to an intense training regimen – but loves it! His favorite thing to do is hop on his broomstick to the nearest patch of wilderness and do a spot of trail running. His lighter, compact frame means that Ralin prefers agility and endurance to sheer muscle.
Due to his desire to protect, and his inability to correctly judge the level of danger in a situation, Ralin tends to get into trouble often way out of proportion to his size. Because of this, he's a patchwork of various scars. Some minor ones from Quidditch, and several major ones. He is shy about these scars, not wanting the sight of them to detract from his cheerful, outgoing personality. A deflected killing curse marked him on the chest, right above the heart. Claw marks on his thigh, arm, and the large bite scar on his shoulder mark where he was attacked and turned by a werewolf. A large, twisted round scar right below his ribs marks where Mosrael's lieutenant (the same werewolf who bit him) stabbed him, nearly taking his life.
Ralin’s sense of style is easy-going and fun, mixing t-shirts with vests, jeans and jackets, scarves, and of course a crazy assortment of socks that make his wardrobe look like a clown exploded inside it. He prefers a pair of worn-in running shoes(he loves Converse Allstars) to stiff boots, and shuns stuffy wizards robes. He does like cloaks though, and will often wear one in place of a coat, even among muggles (generating very odd looks). Around the time of the full moon, Ralin will appear more tired and pale, as if he has the flu.
Possessions- Aside from his Quidditch gear (including a battered old Nimbus WildComet), Ralin’s cramped London flat is eclectic and ranges from personal items (charred Quidditch medallion, old Nimbus 3k, worn Gryffindor banner, a ring with the heraldry of Harkness, and other bits and bobs) to a teetering bookshelf rambling along one entire wall filled with spellbooks and a variety of others both muggle and wizardric. Near the window is an owl cage and perch for his trusty Scops owl – Spud. All of his Quidditch gear is very worn and spotted with holes repaired with spell-o-tape and handstitching. His two favorite pieces of gear are well-worn/well-loved from his days at Hogwarts: his lucky leather boots and gloves. In another corner are shelves and boxes containing jokes and tricks of all kinds, both designed by him, or from Zonkos, or WWW’s. Everything is organized and tidy, surprising for a young man of his age. But Ralin likes things to be neat and as far from chaotic as possible (though his sock drawer would object to this).
Personality:
Temperament/Mental Attributes- Ralin is easy-going and great to get along with, but be wary of his mischievous ways (which he’ll never grow out of). He loves a good joke or trick, but never means any harm by them. This can provoke some people, which gets the young man in trouble. Ralin can’t stand bullies, and will always stand up for the under-dog, even if that means getting his butt handed to him. Adulthood has given him even more confidence in the face of danger, and experience has tempered his rash thinking a bit. Yet despite his efforts at maintaining a cool head, Ralin still tends to act first, think later, especially when danger threatens.
Clever, quick and with an aim to misbehave still describes the attractive Irish man. He likes to make people laugh and brighten a sad face. He struggles with the curse of being a werewolf, since being bitten he's had to learn about his condition on his own, through experience and research on the subject. Ralin carries the fear that he will one day hurt someone because he can't control his were-form, and uses every precaution to avoid this happening. Since the Wolfsbane potion is extremely difficult to make, and the ingredients both expensive and rare, he struggles to procure enough each month to be helpful at all. The burden of his condition, and the wizarding world's view towards werewolves in general, has given the young man more grief than he expected, and he finds himself adrift because of it. Still, his bright spirit burns, and he manages to mostly keep up a good face, unwilling to burden his friends with his curse.
Alliance- OotP, The Black Watch (he's been away from the Watch for a while, for reasons he himself doesn't quite know), minority sectors of the wizarding world such as werewolves and halfers.
Alignment- Chaotic Good
Employment&Education:
-Adults-
Former House- Gryffindor
Job- Between jobs (he's drifted from one job to the next for the past few years, unable to keep a steady job for long because of being a werewolf)
Employer- None at this time
OWLs/NEWTs- Four O's and three E's
Other:
Magical Skills- Animagus (currently having trouble with this ability), wandless magic, spell-design. He's particularly clever with creating spells and items for creating mischief, items that would be right at home in Zonkos or WWW.
Patronus- Northern Raven
Wand- Douglas Fir, 10", Core(dual): Raven feather/thestral hair (this is not his first wand; it was broken during a fight with Mosrael)
Goals/Aspirations- At the moment Ralin isn’t certain what his goals/aspirations are. He’s found himself adrift, and is trying to figure out why. He does maintain a dream of joining the national Quidditch team, and working at Hogwarts or Hogsmeade.
He is currently trying to learn how to deal with being a werewolf, and find a way pay the bills without skipping from one job to the next.
Other Information- Ralin has some non-magical skills: Lock picking, general mischief-making and Quidditch (he’s a skilled Chaser and Seeker).
