Felix Fairbourne

30-year-old Charms Professor at Hogwarts

Felix is an odd human being, but his charm, good looks and compassion make up for his misdemeanors. He is usually a quiet, unimposing sort of guy, but when you catch him in a happy mood, he can be quite excitable and engaging with anyone.

Felix was born in southern France, but lived most of his childhood in London. His parents are both English, but he has some friends from his time in France before his family emigrated. When he graduated from Hogwarts, he joined the Auror office as a trainee, eventually qualifying before the age of 24. For five years, Felix worked as an Auror, working around Europe, hunting dark wizards. Fancying a change of career, Felix applied for a position at Hogwarts, and was accepted.

The kind of people Felix likes are those that are kind, considerate and can deal with him being somewhat bi-polar. Rude people, or those that appear arrogant to him may as well attempt to knock down a brick wall with a toothpick - they're not going to get anywhere. Relationships? Well, it's all open to discussion.

William Ashdown

Sixth year Ravenclaw

William had a pretty tough childhood. His parents were not the best, and he considers Hogwarts to be more of a home than his parents'. His parents, both Muggles, were not openly hostile towards him, or beat him or anything like that, but they were much worse - they ignored him, and pretended he didn't truly exist. As such, William is quite distrusting of new people, and he can take a few meetings with someone new to open up even a little. He has very few friends in the world, but those he allows into his circle are rewarded with a loyal, friendly person, although he can be quite awkward in certain situations.

William can often be found studying, especially in library, as he doesn't really have the financial backing to buy the most up-to-date books. He, like many others, also likes to go down to the Lake in all weathers, usually seeking some peace and quiet.

Rickard Magnussen

110-year-old bitey vampire

See Character Development page for more info on history

Rickard, Rickard, Rickard...well, how to describe him? Bluntly - keep your eyes closed for this next bit, children - he's a bit of a bastard. He is a vampire, and even amongst the undead he is considered to be quite vicious. Rickard is 110 years old, and was bitten in his early twenties. Technically, through blood, he is a member of the Norwegian royal family, so he is not only blessed with long life, good looks, incredible agility and skill and near indestructibility, he also has blue blood. Still, he doesn't use his gifts for good, that's for sure.

Rickard has murdered thousands of people in his time, and enjoys it very much. He, quite often, will not think twice about killing someone, usually through the traditional teeth-meet-neck method. He doesn't like anyone, quite often himself either, and as such it is quite difficult to get a gauge on who he likes. He is quick-witted, intelligent, sarcastic and sassy and will attempt to baffle his opponent (for everyone is an opponent to him) with words and fear. However, he is not a joker or careless, rather he is quite serious and will be courteous and kind, if he was after something.

If you'd like to RP or plot with one of my characters, then feel free to post below with your ideas. Additionally, if you'd like some more information (I understand my plotter isn't as big as some others, this was my second attempt in one day and I just wanted to get it up!) then please ask.

@hanna_ & FELIX FAIRBOURNE
Hanna is academically competitive and bright but often times lives in the shadow of her older sister (Bridgitte Hunt). Because this is Hanna's sixth year in school the prospect of her future has been on her mind quite a bit and as a result her grades have taken a nose dive from excellent to failing, much to her dismay. Hanna is, rather clearly, going through her own existential crisis. I imagine Hanna had previously been an excellent student in Felix's class, so the sudden shift in her efforts might be disconcerting. 

@hanna & WILLIAM ASHDOWN
Hanna is also at odds with her parents, like William, however her reasons are entirely different. In addition to that, Hanna is quite opposite of William and remains her own very special little snowflake. Dramatic and fiery is her game, and she plays it quite well, never faltering to let everyone in a 10-foot radius know exactly what is on her mind. Despite these intense characteristics she can prove to be a formidable ally and friend to anyone who who seeks it. 

@llewellyn & FELIX FAIRBOURNE
Companionship please? It is my gut instinct that these two will get on quite well. Llewellyn himself can be a rather peculiar fellow, and things can get especially weird when he's all cooped up in the divination classroom all day doing who-the-hell-knows. He's an open minded comrade to all walks of life and always enjoys a nice conversation, though admittedly loses people quite easily when he goes on his metaphysical tangents. A pacifist by nature and a true passion for teaching, he really does take a personal interest in making sure his students are nurtured. 
 
@llewellyn & WILLIAM ASHDOWN
Llewellyn would know William if he takes Divination. That is entirely up to you. 

@amadeus & RICKARD MAGNUSSEN
Why hello there Mr. Vying for MoM, meet the man who paved your path. I imagine Amadeus and Rickard would be friendly. Amadeus is respectful of vampire rankings and social hierarchy and would be nothing but eager to serve a creature his senior. Although Amadeus is fairly power-hungry himself and desires the position of MoM as well, he is more than willing to swallow his ego in the case of Mr. Magnussen. I believe these two could be formidable allies, especially since Amadeus is already working in The Ministry and rallying for the rights of all creatures. Unfortunately I can also see Amadeus getting caught up in between Rickard and Hira, having nothing but respect for the current Mistress of Magic as well. Chances are he will be playing up to both their prospects up until he is forced to choose. RICKARD MAGNUSSEN

Wow, lots to play with! My poor, dissertation-addled brain is befuddled and confused, but I'm sure I'll concoct something for you.

Right. Well, @hanna and FELIX FAIRBOURNE. I'm sure, from a purely academic standpoint, Felix will take an interest in Hanna, to perhaps give her advice or extra lessons to bring her marks back up to scratch, or perhaps a shoulder to cry on, or a friendly face to vent at. Outside of that, I can't see a thread with them bumping into one another by the lake will work, but you never know! Same kind of thing with WILLIAM ASHDOWN and @llewellyn, really. Teacher and student can't truly have something significant going on, unless there is something going on behind the scenes. Perhaps either Hanna or William could...be caught doing something against the rules, sparking a conversation with our respective professors?

@hanna and WILLIAM ASHDOWN however, I can see working in a friendship capacity. They are both students and sixth years, albeit from different houses, but they could have some kind of friendship. They have vaguely differing characteristics, but they have had a similar-ish childhood and therefore could relate to one another.

@amadeus and RICKARD MAGNUSSEN could be very fun, and I think we should do this first! How did Amadeus pave the path for Rickard? Just wondering. Anyway, they are both Vampires, and as such will have some kind of connection, even if it's only on a primitive level. As you pointed out, Rickard is aiming for political power, and as Amadeus already holds a position in government, Rickard would see him as a valuable ally and - just perhaps - a vague friend. The only thing left to say is...where should we make the thread?

[Deleted]

FELIX FAIRBOURNE &&

~ @jae
James tries his best in classes but he's not an exceptional student, and just content being average and at least passing his classes. He can be quiet, but he's not shy - he'd actually quite sociable. Age doesn't really matter when it comes to conversation, though he knows the boundaries of student/professor relations.

~@red
Raphael has pretty much never cared about school or classes or learning. He cares about having fun, playing Quidditch, and... I'd say 'girls', but his only requirements are 'living', 'breathing', and 'human', though that's not to say a friendly vamp couldn't catch his attention, so hey, so long as you walk on two legs and resemble human form... DIGRESSION! Anyway, he's the sort to rock up 10 minutes late, either hungover or in the process of getting drunk, and he's usually left him wand behind.

~@candy
Candy is ambition and wants to exceed. She likes to take any and all opportunities she can to improve herself, though the one thing she's struggling to improve is her morphing ability, which she sort of sucks at. Either way, Candy likes to be one step ahead.

~@dorian
Dorian's been working at the school for three years now after a number of... unexpected occurrences took place that kind of screw up his 'everything is perfect' life that he'd had going. They're four years apart so possible knew each other from school, but... different year/houses, maybe not so much. 

~@sven
Sven didn't go to Hogwarts and hasn't been near the place. He works in the Ministry as Head of the Department of Mysteries. He's not the sort to make 'friends' per say, but he can act pleasant when he has to.

~@alma
Alma is a fifth year Gryffindor and also part-veela. She's a lot more confident than her older sister is and embraces her blood. She can be quiet and studious when she wants to be, but she's usually better at being outgoing and something of a spitfire. She likes to do well in class, but if she flunks a grade or two in a test it's no biggie.

WILLIAM ASHDOWN &&

~ @jae
James will take the time to talk to pretty much anyone if given the chance to, and age/house makes little difference to him. If William is part of any school clubs or anything they could have met there, but otherwise, I'm sure a library run-in could have triggered something off.

~@red
Raphael might be a bit overwhelming for William At the very least, a pain in the ass. They're the same year, so no doubt they have to deal with each other from time to time, but if it's class/work related, Raphael won't be the one doing any of the work. More likely, he'll be messing around and being a pest. 

~@candy
Candy's the year above and often goes out of her way to try and better herself, and she's been known for trying to set up 'study groups' and things to get people involved. She feels like she's improving herself as a person by doing things that help others. If he's in the library a lot she'll no doubt try and rope him in to it to boost numbers.

~@dorian
Dorian teaches Arithmancy, so I think a lot of it will depend on whether William takes that class or not. Dorian was also made Head of Ravenclaw at the start of this year, when the last Head left, so there's room for something there, too.

~@sven
Sven works in the Ministry and doesn't really have much reason to make contact with the school so... I don't really know what chances there are of these two crossing paths. 

~@alma
Alma is the year below but... I'm not sure. Might her veela blood mess with his head a little? Could be interesting to see his response around her and see how that turns out. Otherwise, I think she might have the tendency to be a little too much to deal with.


RICKARD MAGNUSSEN &&

~ @jae
He doesn't make quick assumptions but he can recognize when things aren't going particularly well, and when to back off. Should these two cross paths it will probably be a 'back away fast' situation, and he'll try and talk his way out of it.

~@red
I know Rickard comes onto the grounds some times, but Raphael sneaks out to Hogsmeade far more often that he slinks around the edges of the school grounds. This might be quite amusing to play out, because chances are Raphael will be drunk and when drunk, he has no concept of social boundaries, and will be oblivious to most of what's happening. 

~@candy
Poor girl will probably try to stand her ground and talk him off but I don't think that will end well for her. She would probably consider trying to run away as a weakness and she wouldn't like that at all. 

~@dorian
Dorian... well, if he found out that Rickard was terrorizing students he'd certainly not like him, and of course, he'd gladly throw himself in between to keep a student from getting hurt, no matter who that student was. 

~@sven
Hate. Pure and simple. Sven's father was turned into a vampire shortly after he was born, and when all the uprisings etc started in Bulgaria while Sven was at Durmstrang, he was on the receiving end of a lot of the crap because they knew about his father. It's made him strongly dislike all creatures, especially vampires, since then.

~@alma
What happens when a male vampire and a female part-veela cross paths? If she was confronted with him she'd no doubt try to amp up the veela charm as to distract him and put him off making a meal out of her.

[ALTHEA SILVERSTAR]

Felix & Althea

Urrmmm well Althea’s in her final year and plans on becoming a healer so I’m pretty sure she’d be a fairly strong student. They’d probably be pretty friendly, pretty sure Felix would have been one of the professors Althea would talk to about her future career choices as she does sometimes play with the idea of becoming an Auror.

William & Althea

Maybe study buddies? Althea’s a year older than William but I could see her constantly either giving him tips or trying to distract him from his books by throwing paper airplanes at him . Most likely she’d think he’s way too serious about life and constantly try to get him to calm down with the whole studying constantly thing (Even if she does as she’s writing her N.E.W.Ts soon).

Kay & Felix

Well Kay’s an Auror so I’m fairly certain then that he would know Felix from when he was an Auror. Not sure how they would have gotten along, Kay can be full of himself but not in an arrogant way. Kay’s also generally very cocky but is also very protective about people he cares about so not sure if Felix will forgive the cockiness for that?

Kay & Rickard

Yeah not much love lost here . Although Kay is fairly sympathetic towards vampires and werewolves I’m still pretty sure he’d not be very fond of Rickard. Not sure if Rickard’s gotten in trouble with the law but I could definitely see a lot of glaring and passive aggressive insults .

Alden & Felix

Most likely know each other from when Felix was an Auror but as Alden generally sees himself as superior to everyone else so I doubt they’d get along at all.

Alden & Rickard

Yeah these two won’t get along at all, but could be fun throwing them in a thread together and seeing where it goes

[JON]

My lord.

Right, OK...here goes.

FELIX FAIRBOURNE:

@red - I think, because Raphael is so uninterested with academia, Felix could perhaps coax him into working harder, or look at academic routes as more worthy? He could, also, relate to him on a quidditch level as Felix was a player at school, too. No, they cannot have a relationship, before you ask!

@dorian - As they are both professors, I'm sure they will be able to connect and converse on an easier level. Felix likes to speak to people who are around his age, or at least in his profession, so I'm sure they will be able to RP very easily. Dorian also holds a higher position than Felix, and has been at Hogwarts longer, so Felix could bounce questions or ideas off him, further developing them.

@sven - Well, they both either worked or work at the Ministry, so they may know one another from then. They have differing personalities, but I'm sure we'll be able to make something work, perhaps if Felix visits the Ministry and they bump into each other?

WILLIAM ASHDOWN:

@jae - William isn't really a part of any groups or teams, but I'm sure he will appreciate a welcoming, happy new friend.

@red - Raphael seems like a really interesting, and wildly different character to William. They may not get along, they may do...we'll have to find out, but I'm sure it'll be rocky to begin with!

@candy - I'm sure, as they both are in the library quite a lot, they will meet and get along. They're both academic and booky, so yeah, they'll be fine

@alma - Mmm, yeah, his head may be slightly tweaked with her around, which should be fun! They may not get along in other ways, but in others...they'll be fine.

RICKARD MAGNUSSEN:

@red - These two meeting in Hogsmeade whist Raphael is drunk should be...well, see the thread with Rose for how Rickard likes drunk students! Even sober, it should be very interesting to see these two personalities meeting. Rickard may even spare him through admiration for his brashness!

@candy - Having a student attempting to talk him off something should be...interesting. He's not used to being challenged, so that should be fun to see.

@dorian - Of course, as Rickard enters the grounds of Hogwarts occasionally, Dorian will no doubt attempt to fend him off, or protect students/fellow professors from the lurking vampy. A confrontation between the two should be hilarious interesting.

@sven - They will hate each other in equal fashion, no doubt, and that would make for great RPing. Plus, with a name like that, he is from Scandanavia also, I understand?

Why hello there Mr. Vying for MoM, meet the man who paved your path. I imagine Amadeus and Rickard would be friendly.

Although Amadeus is fairly power-hungry himself and desires the position of MoM as well, he is more than willing to swallow his ego in the case of Mr. Magnussen.

Haha, it's fine Jon! I'm going to try to reply as best as possible. 
Now, in the case of Hanna, I actually intend to have her sixth year be her last year of her time at Hogwarts. I have quite a few ideas in terms of character development for her and she is most certainly more of a dynamic character than static. She'll be changing quite a bit as a person and Felix is likely to be another weird piece of furniture in her life and possibly influence her future. 

As for Hanna and Will, I agree that they could be friends and possibly bond. Hanna tends to be more drawn to studious types because they leave plenty of room for her to be the center of attention which she likes! 

Amadeus has been in The Ministry for a very long time, according to his character sheet. He worked there even as a human and was created as a result of an on-the-job accident. Since he's been there for so long I would imagine he would have a hefty influence on the people around him. In addition to that, he's been a large advocate of co-civility between creature and human. Having a character like that already in The Ministry likely opens peoples minds to the possibility of a creature MoM. That's all that was meant by it.

And wherever is fine! Amadeus lives in London and has an active night life. I don't know if Rickard is the type to frequent bars/clubs, but maybe a run in somewhere around Diagon Alley is possible?

I have made three threads, one for each of my characters. All are open threads, so if you wish to RP with me, then feel free to join one. Alternatively, you can make another thread and let me know where it is to join.
