x Jonathan Quinn"There is more to the world then what you can see through your eyes"
CANNON OR ORIGINAL: Original AGE: 32 DOB: 12th May RACE: English GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Straight WAND: 10" Ivy wood with Dragon Heartstring Core BROOM: None PET: None
APPEARANCE:
Upon meetin Jonathan, you could probably feel a bit scared. A curse caused him to nearly go blind. But thankfully one was saved. But it remains slightly cloudy from the spell. His other eye is jet black, only a sharpspeck of white reamins. This causes most people to steer clear of him, they see it as some evil omen, and Jonathan is often alone because of it.
But apart from his eyes, he is rather good looking. He has a lovely set of golden blonde hair. It usualy curly but when wet it flattens and you are ablle to see the different tones in his hair. Brown with bits of blonde. But it won't be long until his hair is curly again. It annoys him sometimes because he prefers his hair when its flat. But sadly there's nothing he can do. He's just got to live with it.
Jonathan stands at around 5' 9" so he is just below the average man. Although a few of his friends are taller then him, his height doesn't bother him all that much. Height has nothing to do with defending yourself. It used to bother him when he was at school, but he's learnt [the hard way] that it doesn't matter what height you are.
FACE CLAIM: Marc Warren
PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:
There has always been something different about Jonathan, and no one can actually pinpoint what it is. He just is different. Jonathan views the world differently to what others see it. He is often telling people "There is more to the world then what you can see through your eyes". And he should know that better then anyone. He tries to view the world like criminals would, and because of that, he is very successful at catching them. There is almost something sinister about him, he doesn't really believe people can change, but he is willing to give them a chance.
But though most people can't see it, there is a soft and gentle side to Jonathan. And after leaving the Auror buisness, he decided to go into teaching. He believes that children hold a lot of potential, and when around them. His cruel, sinister and cold side seems to be pushed aside. And a warmer and gentle side is shown. Although he knows everyone has potential to be evil, he'd rather not judge the students he teaches. Instead he does whatever he can to show them how wrong the Dark Arts are.
Jonathan is also described as a somewhat genius, he enjoys spending his time solving problems, and can't help but get involved with things that will challenge his mind. It was the main reason he became an Auror. He loved the challenge of working out the enimies next move. And although that chapter has been closed, he still isn't unwilling to return if he's needed.
Although generally brave, since loosing the sight in his eye and almost loosing the other one. He has become a lot more cautious. Although he won't run away if he needs to fight, he now finds he can get quite scared. He feels a lot of anger towards the wizard who cursed him; but also a lot of fear. And although he wants to get revenge for what the wizard did, he is too afraid to confront him. His eyes used to be one of his best features, and he's afraid of what else might happen if they ever meet again.
Jonathan is very closed off, he is reluctant to share things about himself. Especially the reason why his eyes are like the way they are. He doesn't like sharing and doesn't really want to open his hear out to anyone. If anyone persists in questioning him about it, Jonathan can and most likely will show his crueler side and tell them that it's none of their concern. He is somewhat shy and lacks a bit of self esteem.
BOGGART: The Wizard who cursed him PATRONUS: Horse HOPES FOR THE FUTURE: To train young witches and wizards against the rising threat. And to hopefully be able to help out in some way
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Can understand the mind of a killer BLOOD: Pure BIRTHPLACE: Scotland MY FAMILY: Martin: Father Julie: Mother Sister: Chrissie [deceased]
WHATS IN THE PAST:
Jonathan was born the youngest child to Martin and Julie. He had a sister who was four years older then him; Chrissie. Growing up, Jonathan was like any other boy. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, and everyone was always complimenting them. Jonathan often remarked on the fact that girls seemed to like his eyes, and he enjoyed the attention that he got. But he wasn't big headed about it, he decided that unlike some of his friends who took advantage of what they got, he was going to use his eyes in different ways. Like reading.
So from the age of 10, Jonathan began to read quite a lot, he soon developed quite an imagination and would often be writing his own stories for his own amusment. He then moved on to puzzles, and he would sit with his mother and they would go through crosswords and other puzzles together. His sister often got jealous of the time the two spent together, but it wasn't long before Jonathan was off on his own.
By the time he was accepted into Hogwarts, Jonathan began to spend a lot of time by himself. He enjoyed practising spells. And although loads of girls asked him out, he would rather work on challenges then go out with them. But from time to time he would accept, leaving a lot of other girls to be quite upset that he hadn't chosen them. But even with his girlfriends, Jonathan didn't do much with them. He didn't really see the point. And slowly but surely, people started to tease him for being frigid and a freak.
But Jonathan didn't care, he thought it cruel to sleep with a girl, he respected them and didn't understand why his friends had one night stands. He saw it as demeaning and cruel. Woman were people, they shouldn't be treated like objects. So slowly but surely, Jonathan began to seperate from his friends, he couldn't stand by and continue to watch them doing what they did.
Sadly, in Jonathan's final year diaster struck. His sister who had been working for the ministry was killed. Although the two had never really been close, Jonathan was deeply effected. He had planned to join the same department as her, in hope to grow closer to her. But that dream was soon destroyed. It was then that Jonathan decided to become an Auror and find his sister's killer.
Jonathan passed all of his exams with flying colours, and by the time he was twenty years old he had completed his Auror training. No sooner had he gotten his desk, Jonathan dug up the old file on his sister's murder. A whole new but familiar world was opened up to him. He saw it as one giant puzzle; a challenge for him to complete. He was given other cases and wizards to find, and of course Jonathan completed any job he was given. But his biggest ambition was still to find his sister's killer.
A year later, the killer was found. Jonathan had finally solved his puzzle and was standing face to face with the man who had destroyed his dreams. The two fought and eventually, Jonathan won. But at a price, he had killed the wizard. His bosses weren't pleased, but after a few months Jonathan was allowed to continue working. They understood the fight had gotten out of control, and knew that things like that sometimes happened.
His revenge satisfied, Jonathan contiued to help catch out of hand wizards and wizards turning bad. In his tenth year of being an Auror, he was seen as one of the best. He had a sharp mind and was able to analyse situations extreemly well. Some of his co workers felt worried around him, especially when Jonathan's mean streak showed. But he was a kind person at heart, and Jonathan enjoyed finally having friends who weren't animals like his old ones. And even though everyone always said he wasn't like ordinary people, they still respected him.
On one of his jobs, Jonathan with a team of others came across a really bad egg. It was a dark wizard they'd been after for a few years. Everyone was scared; even Jonathan. But he knew that if he held back, he'd end up injured. Or worse; dead. The team of Aurors fought, and a lot of people got injured. Jonathan knew the best thing to do was to retreat, but he also felt a duty to his job and to locking this wizard away. But he made the wrong decision and a curse was thrown at him.
A few weeks later, Jonathan woke up in St. Mungos; unable to see properly. At first he was terrified and he became quite distresssed. But one of the healers explained what had happened. The curse had hit him in the eyes, it had competly destroyed the eyes. Thankfully one had been saved, but it was still damaged. Looking at his appearance in a mirror; Jonathan was shocked. His once beautiful blue eyes were gone. His right eye was black and empty, and his left was seemingly normal, but had a slight greyness to it. Although Jonathan had always said looks weren't everything, the fact that his eyes had been destroyed hurt him.
But Jonathan was determined to carry on with his job, his boss was reluctant to give him work, but Jonathan insisited that he was fine. He had learnt to see what he could out of his left eye, and he found that at certain angles he could see out of his right eye. But only slightly. But he also trained himself to use his ears in a more precise way. And after a lot of persuasion, his boss agreed. But there was one condition, Jonathan would always have to have a partner with him. And although Jonathan was annoyed by this; he agreed.
It was very hard for Jonathan, especially when out chasing after dark wizards. And it was made harder by the fact that some of his co workers were afraid of him. They often muttered and whispered about how his eyes creepeed them out. And after a long and hard year, Jonathan decided to leave the ministry and become a teacher. It was a great loss on both parts. But Jonathan agreed to help out if they ever needed him.
This year will be his first year at Hogwarts, and Jonathan is hoping that he will be able to teach the students a lot about defending themselves.

{ OTHER INFO }
RP EXAMPLE: [naruto styled one.]
After remeeting Orochimaru, the very man she swore never to see again. Shaarotto had left Kusagakure no Sato and had slowly, but surely made her way back to the Land of Fire. She didn't exactly want to return there. But she had wanted to put as much distance between her and him as possible. Plus, she had left unfinished buisness in her home village Izamito na Kono. And as much as she didn't want to go back there, she felt like she had to. She had to bury her husband and son; no matter how painful.
It had taken a few days, of which Shaarotto had hardly stopped, she hadn't slept much, and she had eaten along the way. She could only guess that sooner or later someone would find out what had happened and would investigate. And she wanted to bury her family before anyone stuck their noses into what might have happened. But Shaarotto wasn't too worried, if she got there and someone was there. She could probably make herself out to be the only survivor. No one would know any different. And they probably wouldn't connect Izamito's destruction to some of the other villages she had helped attack with Orochimaru.
But she was here now, back in her home village. Or what was left of it, which quite frankly wasn't much. The remaining buildings were black with charkal and had cracks in them. The buildings that had gone up in flames were lying crumbled on the floor. But they werent something to really complain about, not when you saw the vast amount of dead and rotting bodies on the floor.
Shaarotto looked at the bodies with a blank expression. She wasn't proud of what she'd done, but she couldn't cry. And if she could, it wouldn't change what had happened. Her tears wouldn't bring them back, it wouldn't restore the vilage back to its grandness. Crying in a situation like this would be useless. There wouldn't be anyone to comfort her or to help her. Once again, Shaarotto was alone.
But for once, Shaarotto wasn't going to run. Although it caused her a lot of pain to stand here. She would stay and finish the job she was going to do. Then, after she had finished. She'd leave and never return. Why would she? There was nothing left for her here. She had no family here anymore, and the few friends that had accepted her were also dead. "d**n you Yonbi" She hissed through gritted teeth. "I wish I had never accepted you."
What a fool she had been. Yonbi had attacked this village when she was six. And being the kind person she was she had sacrifised herself in order for Yonbi to be sealed within her. And what had it brought her? Thanks? Recognition? Love? No, it had done none of that. And now Yonbi had succeded in completly destroying the village. And all thanks to her.
