Hyde Allen Ralano
"Hyde"

CANNON OR ORIGINAL: Original
YEAR: 6th
AGE: 16
DOB: March 12th
RACE: Wizard
GENDER: Male
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
WAND: Unicorn hair, 7.5”, Chestnut, Springy
BROOM: “The crippled and dignified do not ride brooms.” AKA, his leg is so messed up, he can’t remain seated through the entirety of this amusement park ride.
PET: Rapscallion the brown cat, and Octavious the family owl.

APPEARANCE: His steps are so distinctly followed by the staccato thunks of his cane and this makes it easy to tell when he approaches. Hyde walks with a dignified limp in his left leg, his movements so practiced over the years that what once was a hobbling gallop has turned into a disrupted stride. The young man is 5’10” at his straightest with a long, lean body and tanned skin. His presence brings with him an aura of confidence and quiet contemplation, like some kind of new-age Sherlock Holms.

Hyde likes to keep his brown hair clean cut, and so the length never seems to grow too long but never too short. Beneath his brow, contemplative blue eyes peer out at the world as though attempting to solve it like a puzzle. He has a long, straight nose and a very strong chin. His left leg has a number of scars, and as he would tell you, “It only aches on rainy days.”

… What a liar.

His uniform is worn very well, along with any other clothes he might be dressed in. He assembles everything with care, making sure that his shirts are clean and crisp, his vests and other clothes are without holes, and his slacks without wrinkles. He can tie his tie blindfolded and backwards, comb his hair upside-down, and shine his shoes with no polish… Or so it is said. (Perhaps it is a hyperbole to indicate just how much he invests in his appearance.) A gold chain, and a few man rings are the only jewelry he wears.
Finally, the anomaly in his appearance, a beautifully handcrafted cane custom made for him. The shaft is a polished mahogany dark wood, capped with a brass tip with a pad of rubber at the base. At the very top is a golden, brass raven with its’ wings outstretched and rounded to touch at the tips in a circle.

FACE CLAIM: Leonardo Dicaprio

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: The boy is very intelligent, having a mind for solving puzzles and creating strategies that makes him a powerful Wizard Chess player. He has an eye for detail and the curiosity to investigate into things that just aren’t adding up. Obviously as a student he doesn’t have very many mysteries to solve so during his free time he likes solving rubix cubes, doing cross words, word puzzles, physical puzzles, picture puzzles… But only in his free time. His intelligence extends to a very good memory and the ability to perform spells wordlessly.

His personality isn’t overwhelmed by his intelligence; he enjoys being with other people, talking, joking, laughing, and having a good time. He really hates crude jokes though, as he is always a gentleman to the best of his ability. Hyde is polite, but not to the point of compromising his dignity. IE, dealing with an extremely rude, surly person who does not appreciate his good manners.

His greatest downfall is his pride, particularly about his bad leg. On days where he has to struggle to walk, he refuses assistance even if it makes him late to class. All in all, he’s very considerate, level-headed, intelligent, charming, and polite.
BOGGART: The image of himself being completely paralyzed.
PATRONUS: Stallion
HOPES FOR THE FUTURE: An investigator for the Ministry.

SPECIAL ABILITIES: n/a
BLOOD: Half-blood.
BIRTHPLACE: Britain
MY FAMILY:

Robert : Father [44]
Isabel : Mother [42]
Maria : Baby sister [7]

WHATS IN THE PAST: Robert and Isabel had feared that their profession would make them unable to bear a child together. Mixing and experimenting with potions had a way of making you infertile, or causing problems later in the pregnancy. They were well off financially due to their experiments, but by that point they wanted to start a family. It was a relief when Hyde Allen Ralano came into the world as a perfectly healthy, blue-eyed baby boy. They were a little nervous as he grew older and picked up on things very easily; he knew his alphabet almost as soon as he could speak. Maybe the potion fumes had enhanced his mind? He drove them nuts with his exploring nature when he could walk, constantly getting into things, sometimes but not always breaking them, and figuring out the baby-proof gates that were placed to keep the curious toddler out.

Locked doors were hardly a problem, as he was so curious he could open them with a twist of the knob. Magical barriers? Knocked down by brooms, left to protect the floor. True, he could be easily distracted but when mommy and daddy weren’t around he found himself in more trouble than not. It was on one of these occasions while Isabel was making lunch, he crept down the stairs into the potions lab. The then four-year-old Hyde had looked up on a most massive cauldron and found himself determined to figure out what was inside. Hands on the lip, he’d pulled and stood on his tip-toes, then pulled harder to bring it down to eye level. Being so little and unable to bring his explorations to him, he’d let go of the rim.

The cauldron swung. The potion poured out the side. The swinging cauldron lost it’s simple grip on the hinges… And landed precisely on the potion-soaked left leg. At Mungo’s they declared that he would keep the leg, but would live with the scarring and the limp for as long as he lived. Something in the potion had both saved and doomed the leg from being crushed by healing the fragments instantly. He would always feel the dull ache. His leg would be fairly breakable. Hyde would be a cripple.

After years of trying hard his leg had become stronger and he was able to at least feel more confident in its stability. Hyde proved to be really intelligent to his parents, and clearly magical. They were extremely proud of their son when he was accepted to Hogwarts, happy to buy him everything he needed.

After his first year, his baby sister was born. His parents were sure to keep her from the potion lab

RP EXAMPLE: Chimes echoed from somewhere off in the distance, though they really did not exist. Nothing existed for miles of this place, and even that was questionable depending on which plane you stepped from. Sometimes another town could be a mile away, and sometimes it could feel like a million. The chimes suited the falling snow though and Jade enjoyed it for what it was.

A break in the silence, like a leaf's edge cutting through the morning dew.

Her hair had grown, quite a bit since... Who knows how long ago it was. It poured from the loose bun low on her neck, spouting the strands like an oil fountain of twisted art. Black as raven's feathers, the deepest depths, and the hearts of the wicked, the thin ropes caressed her almost-bare shoulders and looped lazily around her neck. The young face seemed more mature, curving into wise angles and fading out the plump curves of innocence, and the dark lashes seemed to fold over her eyes for miles. Skin like the new fallen snow gives off a serene glow, peaking out from the tiny robes she wore; dark green, hanging from her shoulders and ending at her thigh. Long legs are bare to the very tips of her clawed toes, even on the porch and even in the cold.

Renon and Geera didn't come around so much anymore; they were getting trained properly by the dragons and fighting the dragon's war. Being bound as she was, with no desire to insert herself into another battle, Jade remained.

As a dragon's tail should, it looped around behind her in almost slow-motion, brushing snow from the path behind while the broom in her hands brushed the snow before.

ANSWER: Tonks' death! My heart just about broke and I almost starting crying like a freakin' baby!
