His body is lithe, almost feminine, with little visible muscle, tending more towards agility than strength. He has long black hair, worn gathered back and a short tuft of hair on his chin, but is otherwise hairless. His eyes are two different, odd, for human or goblin, colours, the right a vibrant red, the left black as a pit. His left bicep bears a tattoo of a goat's head with a serpent curled around the horns. He takes comfort in the lack of codified footwear for the school's uniform and wears a battered pair of muggle combat boots, a size or two too large for him, which are none the less immaculately polished. Over his left eye he wears an Eye of Horus design as a souvenir of his childhood birthland and a bit of added protection in duels. From his belt hang a pair of brass and leather goggles, and small pouch full of tools.<br/>Bodrak seems to be acutely aware of muggle affairs, especially for being half-being.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Bodrak was born in a goblin community, but sent to Hogwarts with great celebration immediately upon coming of age. Though he could rightly have gone to the Egyptian school of wizardry due to his clan's location at the time, his family requested, and he received, admission to Hogwarts, due to it's history of superior being-tolerance. His family soon after moved to London, several of his relatives finding quick employ at Gringotts. His male immediate relatives crafted his dagger for him to house and protect his wand and presented it to him as a special gift at the King's Cross platform. While at Hogwarts, he showed a remarkable aptitude for Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures, but barely managed to pass his Potions OWLs. He also showed an inborn talent for crafting items, and enchanting said items, often to the chagrin of the teachers. He's had no luck in modifying muggle electronics and seeks to further study the problem, but has had great success in a number of other fields, including internal combustion, clockwork and steam powered items. Of the three his favorite are clockwork and steam items.<br/><br/><strong>Pet:</strong>(awaiting Van's ok)
