<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/0GEhLt1.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Trent Weaver<br/><strong>Age/Birthdate</strong>: August 1st, 2000<br/><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Halfblood<br/><strong>House</strong>: Hufflepuff<br/><strong>Year</strong>: 1st Year<br/><strong>Wand</strong>: English Oak, 10", Unicorn Tail Hair, Springy<br/><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Nick Lacy<br/><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 6’0”, 157 lbs of muscle!<br/><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brown<br/><strong>Eyes</strong>: Brown<br/><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>: Couple scars from roughhousing and being a kid. A burn on his arm from helping mom in the kitchen. Whoops!<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Homosexual<br/><strong>Home</strong>: Clacton-on-sea, Essex, England<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>:<br/>✦ Hardworking: He had never been one for top grades or aiming for a great position in the Ministry. If he went for anything it would be a service job for the betterment of the community. Physical work keeps you fit, and it's gratifying. Nothing but bonuses there.<br/>✦ Friendly: He's a generally nice guy, and not judgmental at all. He doesn't care what ethnicity, or blood type, or crazy fetishes you're into, all he cares about is getting along and having fun.<br/>✦ Athletic: His learning type is completely biased towards kinesthetic, and he is perfectly okay with that. His grades suffer greatly for it, though.<br/>✦ Forgiving: He's never been able to hold grudges. It takes too much effort when everyone could just be happy and get along.<br/>✦ Humble: Thank you very much for the compliments! But really, I'm not that great. I'm a terrible student, and I don't think I can go professional in Quidditch even if I tried... though I would like to.<br/>✦ Relaxed: Chill, mate. Need a beer? Good? Great!<br/><br/><strong>Family</strong>:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Theresa Weaver (Mom, halfblood) - Mom was a nurse, before she got real sick. No one could figure out how to help her with magical medicine which you'd think would be pretty hard to come by. They're in the process of trying muggle means, but it's been really hard on the whole family, especially when they diagnosed it as cancer and gave her a chemo treatment. She's been wearing a wig ever since, but that's between us.</li><li>Elizabeth Griddlaugh (Grandma; Mom’s side, muggle (no magic.) - He only knew he as someone in government. She wasn't very high, or well known. She supported some higher ups.</li><li>Geoffrey Griddlaugh (Grandpa, Mom’s side, pureblood.) - He's been dead since the war, having fought alongside his friends at Hogwarts with the few others that came to the children's aide.</li><li>Demetrius Griddlaugh (Grandfather, Mom's side, pureblood.) - The fool that made a fortune and spent it all in one night only to fall to depression so hard at the loss that he took his own life. He is a reminder in the family that money is not everything. What is important is that you have people that you love.</li><li>Romero Weaver (Dad, halfblood) - A magical mechanic of sorts. He works on fixing what people have managed to disrupt to a nasty degree in transfiguration. Sometimes a simple spell cannot undo the mess they've made. He has a few consistent customers that he tries to drop hints to that maybe it would be in their best interests to find a new subject to dabble in.</li><li>Rubeus Weaver (Grandpa, Dad’s side, squib.) - He works for the newspapers writing articles on magical this and that. He's a bit of a recluse so they never see him.</li><li>Torella Weaver (Grandma, Dad’s side, muggle.) - A stay at home mother; or was when she had kids to dote on. Now she just spends her time cleaning, keeping things in order, and helping her husband in his work with ideas on articles.</li><li>Rowanda Weaver (Great grandmother, father's side, halfblood.) - The only notable great grandparent that Trent knows about. Supposedly she wrote a few of the text books, and some of her content appears in their textbooks in classes. He feels a bit of pride whenever he sees her quoted in his texts, but honestly he still can't remember this stuff worth a lick.</li></ul><br/><strong>History</strong>: What is life without hard work? Trent never really understood the idea of being born into wealth and living like that. What was so bad about his house? What was so bad about working hard to keep yourself just at a comfort level, anyways? He liked it; he loved all of it, if fact. They say retirement is the number one killer, so why have a bad start? Of course, there's nothing wrong with being rich, but when you started looking down on him for it, then you will have a problem.<br/><br/>That's right, Trent grew up in a pretty provincial household. It was remarkable they could even afford his textbooks for his classes. They were doing their best with what they had. They both worked, but there was only so much you could do; still, it was home. He even got a part time job seeing as he had to wait so long to start classes; in fact, he parents even managed to get him into some muggle school do give him a general education and tutored him on magical topics when he got home in order to give him a head start.<br/><br/>He was going to shoot to be better than that, and help support his parents that had done so much for him, but he wasn't going to take the easy way out to do that. He was going to work hard, but smarts was not his main worry. His grades were not good enough for that, and the material just frittered out of his head- and he hadn’t even started Hogwarts yet! He wanted to be a protector; someone that saves lives. His plan is to become an auror, one way or another, and become proficient in not only defending his community, but standing up for what is right even if everyone else would not.<br/><br/><strong>Likes</strong>:<br/>✦ Beer: He can't help himself, really. It's cheap, and delicious, and everywhere! Not to mention alcoholic.<br/>✦ Gum: It's a habit, really. He has meant to stop chewing it, but every time he tries to quit, someone offers him a piece, and he just can't refuse.<br/>✦ Bananas: They're addicting. He eats a lot of bananas; at least one a day, in fact!<br/>✦ Music: He is actually in the choir, one of the few Tenors that can make sopranos jealous.<br/>✦ Tea: He likes coffee, too, but tea always has a special place in his heart.<br/>✦ His cat, [Sphynx] (https://i.imgur.com/JoDimio.jpg). Very cute and curious, and softer than you would think. His Sphynxy gets along well with other cats and tends to play with other animals. She has a tendency to cuddle up right into him at night to make up for the warmth she does not get due to her lack of fur.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes</strong>:<br/>✦ Fighting: He's pretty quick to break up any fights on the field.<br/>✦ Sci Fi: Less of a dislike, and more of he just doesn't get it.<br/>✦ Allergies: He loves it when spring comes around, but when that pollen gets mixed around, you can bet he will be sneezing up a storm.<br/>✦ Art: He's terrible at it.<br/>✦ Tests: He's a terrible test taker.<br/><br/><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: He actually started flying at home a lot. It’s one of the few magical things you can get away with before you’re eighteen seeing as the ministry only really monitors wand work. He’s determined to get a place on the quidditch team! He’s pretty excellent with physical education even back in the muggle schools. He played a lot of lacrosse and dabbled in a few of the other sports like rugby and soccer! He’s got a few trophies on his shelf. They spelled his name wrong on one of them, but his dad fixed it with a spot of magic.<br/><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: He feels shame that he can’t do more for his parents. He sees them struggling and going off to Hogwarts NOW just feels like it’s taking away reliable hands from home. It’ll mean one less mouth to feed for them for three quarters of the year, but he’d rather be getting a job and moving on with his life.<br/><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>All of the muggle education gets you ready for college, but with Hogwarts now as it is he’d be getting out well later than was traditional to go to college. All his friends had been talking about what colleges they’d be going to, but… he looked. He was curious. Now he’s hundreds of miles away and wondering if he really belongs here anymore. Maybe it would be easier to just live as a muggle now. It didn’t seem that bad.<br/><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong>Chorus
