APPEARANCE:
Cyan is one of those guys that doesn't demand a lot by his appearance. Sure, he's nicely built, decently good looking, and dresses to accommodate his build, but really he doesn't care to flaunt his appearance or strive for any kind of attention. While the boy may wear his shirts snug to his form, he's always found in a pair of loose and/or comfortable slacks whenever he can escape the confines of the school uniform. He's decently tall, standing at a fair 6'3", and therefore causes him to tower over most of his fellow class and house mates. This has caused him to gain a bit of a slouch in his posture over the years. He can usually always be found slumped down too far in any seat- lest it's at the dinner table- or hunched over a good bit when he's walking to make him appear less tall then he actually is. The truth of the matter is, when he used to stand to his full height, he had been told by an ex-girlfriend that he was just too intimidating with his appearance, and therefore the slouching began.

His build is the second most noticeable thing about him. He's spent his years keeping in shape by any means necessary, and mostly by Muggle standards. He isn't disgustingly bulky or bulgy, but he does have a decent set of arms and is well toned in the chest and stomach department. His hair is kept short, just the way he likes it, and out of his face at all times. He doesn't quite understand how the other blokes can wander around with their hair in their faces, but he never questions it, nor does he ask. He does have a problem with keeping himself clean shaved, but this doesn't usually seem to bother anyone, so he allows himself to be lazy from time to time just as long as he doesn't end up too scruffy. Then there are his eyes. The color is normal enough, just a casual chocolate- or so it seems. There are times when someone can look at the boy and find his eyes brown, then the next moment when he's glanced upon the orbs will be blue or green. It isn't a magical trait, he's been tested for it, his eyes just change colors at random in accordance to his mood.
FACE CLAIM: Ryan Phillippe

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:
Cyan most definitely has a winning personality. He's friendly, polite, well mannered, and likes to make people feel good about themselves- especially when they're in a slump or feeling down about themselves/the world around them. He usually likes to avoid confrontation, though he has absolutely no problems standing up for himself or for others. While well mannered, Cyan does have a bit of a reckless streak. He lives for thrills and adventure, and spent most of his first years at Hogwarts exploring the Castle, getting into every inch he could manage. He's completely selfless and loyal, and he does his best to drag his friends along for the ride when he's ready to go on some sort of new grand adventure he's thought up. He's almost stupidly courageous, as in he'll throw himself at any obstacle to prove a point and/or to protect someone he doesn't even know.

Being raised by Muggles seemed to do a number on the boy. He's admittedly brilliant, but fairly lazy when it comes to his school work. It isn't that he can't do it, its that he usually just doesn't want to and waits until the last minute. He's usually too busy poking around to actually sit and get anything productive done. Just as he likes to help pick others up off the ground, he lives for a good joke or prank. The Marauders amuse him to no end, and he finds their antics highly hilarious no matter who gets the bunt of their destructive ways. All in all, Cy likes to have a good time, loves to prove his courage and polite ways to others, and just takes life in stride, one day at a time. He's a firm believer that you have to live each day to your fullest, because you can never be quite sure which one is going to be your last.
BOGGART: Himself being rejected about anything

SPECIAL ABILITIES: His eyes change colors to fit his mood
BLOOD: Muggle-born
BIRTHPLACE: Galway, Ireland
MY FAMILY:

Harold Geraldine - Father
Donna Geraldine - Mother
Alruna Geraldine - Little Sister

WHATS IN THE PAST:
While most students who are Muggle-born seem fairly uneasy talking about their family due to this fact, Cyan is quite happy to sit down and discuss his family with anyone who's wanting to know about them. He has absolutely no problem telling people he's Muggle-born and doesn't think its right that people like him are harassed just because of their blood line. He's very keen on the idea that everyone is (or should be) equal no matter their blood or family riches. Naturally, he knows that isn't how it works, but that doesn't keep him from believing in the fact himself at a firm hundred and ten percent.

Harold Geraldine first met his wife Donna in a quaint little restaurant that she was working in at the time. At first, Harold had just gone in to dine and carry on his traveling ways. He was, after all, a traveling merchant/barter. When he laid eyes upon Donna, however, his travel plans were put on pause and he spent every day for two weeks after that point going in just to eat and see her. Donna, being the brilliant minded woman she was, figured this out well within the first week, but had simply waited to see if the man would make the first move. Upon finding that he was apparently too shy to do as such, the woman approached Harold, and the two's relationship went from there. Three years down the road, they were married and had the first of their two children. Cyan was the greatest joy either parent could have ever asked for, though quite a few strange things happened as he grew up.

Occasionally, clothing the boy didn't want to wear would mysteriously shrink. Things his parents were looking for would vanish from it's spot, then reappear within the child's grasp. And then there was the fact that the color of Cyan's eyes continued to change, which his mother realized soon after that the color seemed to fit his mood. There were no answers in any books they consulted, but thankfully everything they needed to know came in a mysterious letter from an anonymous person. At first, Harold couldn't condone the fact that magic existed, but Donna was quite content to believe this was the case. When Cyan turned eleven, and his Hogwarts letter arrived, Harold got his first real taste of the magic world, and the family all seemed to understand each other much better from that point on.

During Cy's second year of Hogwarts, he received a letter informing him that he was going to be a big brother. While the news of a little sister would upset most twelve-year-old boys, Cyan was quite excited about the fact. He made a point to tell everyone in his House, and everyone he met out in the halls about his news. Most people didn't really seem to care, but that didn't bother the boy in the least little bit. Once Alruna was born, Cyan took his role as Big Brother head on and with great enthusiasm. In fact, the pair grew quite close despite the fact that he spends most of his years at school, away from home. All in all, the Geraldine family is quite the happy, content little bunch, thus why Cyan likes to talk about them so much. He brags about his family quite often. His father's owned business, his mother's writing, and his little sister's adorable nature. He isn't bothered by the fact that he's magical, and they're not, and thus why he bares no shame in speaking about them what-so-ever, no matter who is listening in.

RP EXAMPLE:
The Forbidden Forest was off limits for a variety of reasons. The most common one being that the Professors and the staff didn't want their students wandering into the darkened abyss and never coming back out again- or at the very least coming back out harmed severely. It was this very fact alone that kept Adessa standing on the edge of the tree line, just peering in to the depths of the trees as if they held the answers to all of the questions in the universe. This wasn't quite the case, really, but the expression on the redhead's face would make one question her sanity. It was almost as if she was thinking at the forest, rather then about it, but again, that wasn't the case.

The truth of the matter was simple, really. Dessy was one of a few who really understood the brooding nature of the forest. She would never broadcast this fact to the public, but really what was so hard to get? It was dark and mysterious, closed up to the world around it lest people be dumb enough to venture inside. Then once they were within the deepened walls of the forest, they would witness countless nightmares and who knew what would happen from there? Really, Dessy and the forest weren't all that much different. Or at least they didn't used to be so different.

There had been a time when the redheaded Ravenclaw was closed in, untouchable and brooding to any approaching people. And had she let them in, most of them spent their time afterwords either pitying her or sharing her nightmares. Thus where her understanding of the forest really came from. They hadn't been so different just a year back. Though good friends had helped tremendously in helping to chase the bad memories away- or at least helped suppress them for the most part. No, this year was going to be different. Dessy felt more like her old self, the Her that had walked these halls before tragedy struck her family.

A small smile touched her lips- something else that had to look odd to any onlookers. Perhaps that was the answer to the brooding forest's problems. Maybe it needed a friend all it's own to help lighten it up, so to speak. This thought earned a shake of the head and the redhead sighed softly. Her weight shifted more to one leg then the other and she simply continued to stare into the forest, her eyes still strangely focused on nothing in particular. Mutual understanding indeed.
ANSWER: Dead...everyone of my favorites is dead.
