Inbreeding, indeed. His first few years of life were spent dodging blows from his single mother, Marian Askes. But the woman had been ostracized from her family for many years for being a Squib, the final blow coming when she bore a bastard child and wouldn't admit to who the father was.

Physical Description: (include hair color, eye color, height, weight, and build at the VERY least) Sorrows is, honestly, not much to look at. With his bad back and lazy eye, he has never been one to attract the ladies (or the fellows, for that matter), but that doesn't seem to bother him. Standing at 5-foot-eleven when fully-erect, Sorrows as a slight build (his handicap, naturally, prevents him from building much muscle), straight brown hair that reaches his chin, and blue eyes. Sorrows weighs in at about 168 lbs. He dresses in fairly shabby clothing (being a teacher doesn't really pay so well-- not that he has much care for what he wears anyways), preferring warm wool robes instead of more stylish ones. His face is lined and a bit harsh looking, but he is good-natured and generally smiles more than any other expression.

Personality: These Ravenclaws will have lightning-fast mental reflexes. Aries is an intellectual sign, but it is also an impatient sign; Ravenclaws who were born under this sign are likely to tolerate no dull wits or stupidity, whether they see this lack of mental competence in themselves (in which case they will berate themselves for not understanding, or give up quickly in frustration without really trying to overcome their difficulty in learning) or in others (in which case they will lash out at the offender with acidic comments and haughty, cutting looks). These Ravenclaws will want to be at the head of the class, dominating other students in their chosen intellectual field, and may be almost as competitive as Slytherins. However, the true aim of every Ravenclaw is knowledge, knowledge, and more knowledge. While a Slytherin might see losing a magical duel or being bested by another student in a DADA class as humiliating, the Ravenclaw will probably just take delight in competition for its own sake, and see defeat as a learning

Character Information Name: Edward Wilhelm Reed LJ Username: herr_edward Age: 34 Birthdate: November 29th, 1972 Location: Hogwarts Former House: Ravenclaw Occupation: Transfiguration Professor
Bloodline: Pureblood Heritage: British/German
Personal History: So, what happens when a recovering werewolf-victim and a crazy madhatter woman love each other very much? Little Edward Reed comes along! Born into an old-fashioned, inheritance-dependent family of Purebloods, Edward grew up learning the ways of being a gentleman. His father Wolfram was still recovering from a werewolf bite, so most of the time it was his mother Catherine doting on him. His parents jumped on the fact that he had no other siblings, and so they spoiled him for many, many years. To them, he was a toy. Just something that they could shape to become the perfect little boy they’d always wanted

Re: Transfiguration Professorhih_dumbledoreJuly 6 2008, 05:31:19 UTC
Personality: Edward is the typical Austen/Bronte-esque hero. He uses a bit of old-fashioned language, and he is extremely proper. His manners are superb, and he can be rather eloquent when he needs to be. Though, he can be reclusive as well, and he also has a nasty temper. He appears to be a big, tough guy, and he comes across that way to most people, but he always feels terrible after shouting at someone or giving a student a bad grade. Also, Edward is TERRIBLE with speaking with women he likes. He tends to clam up and fumble for words. And if he can’t find the right words, he simply blushes and turns away. He hates himself for that. But otherwise, he is calm and stern and extremely professional

Character Information Name: Agis Theobald Yule LJ Username: agis_yule Age: Twenty-four Birthdate: December 25 Location: Hogwarts Former House: Hufflepuff Occupation: Hogwarts Librarian. Agis does most everything Irma Pince once did, and then some. He keeps the library orderly and clean, hounds down students if they've failed to return a book, and keeps the noise level at a reasonable volume (a constant battle). Unlike Pince, however, he spends much of his time helping students locate references and research material
( ... )
Personal History: Theobald Yule was a pretty normal wizard, his father a Scottish Muggleborn and his mother a British Korean Pureblood. He was on an assignment for work the day he met his wife. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement (Magical Equipment Control, to be precise) had sent him out, as they often did, to repair a malfunctioning ward. In working condition, the ward would repel many a manner of magical creature, ensuring that they keep away from areas with high Muggle populations (having to send in Obliviators to wipe clean the minds of children who encountered boggarts under their beds was never an ideal situation
( ... )
Personality: Reserved, quiet, and broody. Agis was the kid who usually sat off to the side in class, trying to avoid the teacher's notice long enough to take a nap. Perpetually sleepy and calm, his nonchalance can be quite irritating at times. It takes a lot to make him really smile, even more to make him angry
