Neil Astrod
Character's Year: 5th
Character’s House: Slytherin
Blood Type: Full
Describe his/her Physical Attributes: Neil is a broad shouldered young man of steadily increasing height. Though he currently stands at around 5'11", he's still growing, and since his family has a history of tall men, he will probably end up a little over 6'. He is extremely tanned, has green eyes and ash blonde hair.
A straight nose, wide jaw and broad hands complete his natural attributes, but he's just as easily recogniseable for his chosen mannerisms. Every movement he makes has that certain tinge of blasé that comes with self surety. He tends to lean against walls, chairs, tables- the kind of slouch that makes it seem he feels the territory is his. His idleness in a room proclaims "This room is mine, and you have now entered it, so you'd better respect me'.
Describe his/her Personality: Arrogant and cocky, Neil has no doubt that he'll always get just whatever he wants. At the moment, most of the things he wants are of the feminine persuasion, and he likes to think of himself as a ladies man. Utterly charming (thank the full-blooded heritage for that) when he needs to be, he uses his manners to cover up the more unpleasant side, his selfishness, whenever it crops up. Always a sportsman, he likes to be the star of the show in every quidditch match he plays.
Explain his/her History & Background: Neils parents were the prudent type, not throwing their weight behind Voldemort, but not opposing him either. They sat back to wait and see who looked like they'd come out on top, mouthing just enough sweet-talk to placate both sides. They didn't care what the world turned out like, as long as they were safe within it- naturally, they were very glad they'd kept their family lines pure.
Neil wasn't terribly excited when he got his Hogwarts letter, because he expected nothing less. The same went for being sorted into Slytherin. In his third year, Neil became a seeker for the Slytherin team, but by mid-fourth year, he had gained too much muscle and height and no longer had the slight edge to agility that small people had, so now he is a beater. He also, somewhat to his parents annoyance, took up the muggle sport known as 'surfing', and every long weekend or holiday that he can, he grabs a bag of floo powder and hops off to some warm country to spend his time in the waves. This accounts for the deep golden color of a boy whose entire family is pale.
Wand Type, Length & Core: Ebony, 13 inches, dragon heartsting.
