<strong>Name:</strong>Ken Blackrose<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5' 10"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>176 lbs<br/><strong>Eye color:</strong>Hazel<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong>Black<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Kinks:</strong>Enjoys sex in enclosed spaces<br/><strong>House:</strong>Slytherin<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>10 1/2" Cherry wood with dragon heart string<br/>(https://img1.etsystatic.com/156/0/12801567/il_570xN.1142690591_4k42.jpg)<br/><br/>This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.<br/><br/>As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn quicker than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.  The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental. It also tends to be lethally hazardous if combined with certain woods, such as Yew and Cherry.<br/><br/><strong>Patronus:</strong>Kirin<br/>(http://orig05.deviantart.net/baec/f/2016/085/d/0/green_peacock_kirin_by_tatchit-d9wkgpk.png)<br/><br/><strong>Job:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>, Ken has felt the pressure of his position all his life.  It's a good thing he's up to the challenge.  Possessed of an iron will and a mind trained to razor sharpness, with a former Slytherin Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor as a father and the heir to one of Japan's most prestiguous wizard families as his mother, most would expect him to be arrogant and aloof.  The opposite is true.  He's outgoing and pleasant.  He was raised with the belief that it a wizard's actions, rather than his bloodline, that should determine his place in society and each witch or wizard should be judged by what they do, rather than who their parents are.  He expects the same in return.  He considers it a sad irony that he has faced problems in both his schools because of his blood.<br/><br/>He has a strong preference for the 'hard' magics, potions, herbology, transfigurations and charms, although he also works hard in history of magic, care of magical creatures, divination and astronomy, he places less of an emphasis on them.  Of course his best class is Defense Against the Dark Arts.  Unlike many Purebloods, he also believes in physical training, not just mental and magical training.   He has learned the use of a katana and practices aikido and karate frequently.  He is also an excellent swimmer.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Face claim Ryan Potter<br/><br/>(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTQwMzY3NTA2N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDY5MTA0OQ@@._V1_UY1200_CR85,0,630,1200_AL_.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Ken was born in Japan.  His father was Devon Blackrose, a Hogwart's graduate and a pureblooded Slytherin.  While teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at his alma mater, he met Akira Tanaka, a student sent from Japan to experience western magic.  She quickly became a favourite and then more than a favourite.  Unable to fight his feelings, he resigned his position and proposed.<br/><br/>The family split their time between England and Japan and Ken experienced the best of both worlds.  He trained at Mahoutokoro from age seven to eleven, before being transferred to Hogwart's.  The early instruction has given him a wider understanding of magic than many of his western peers but he had faced enormous prejudice for being half English, especially when wielding a prestigious cherry wood wand.<br/><br/>Ken was pleased to be sorted into Slytherin but was immediately subject to the same ridicule because of his mixed blood.  He silenced it by reciting his lineage, twelve generations on his father's side and twenty five on his mother's.  The fact that his tormentor couldn't go past his own great grandfather was a source of great amusement.  It was just the beginning.<br/><br/>By the time he was second year, he'd won more house points for Slytherin than any other student that year.  It was a trend that continued each year that followed as he strove to follow in his father's footsteps.  Equally, following him his mother's footsteps, he seemed to have a knack for discovering many of the school's secret passages....<br/><br/>He was immediately suspicious when word came out of a wizard trying to combine the Muggle and magical world.  It sounded too good to be true, which meant it probably was.  He, like many Slytherin agreed that the two worlds needed to be kept separate but not for the same reasons.
