<strong>Name:</strong>Kiran Reed<br/><strong>Age:</strong>22<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human / Caucasian<br/><strong>Blood Status:</strong>Half-Blood<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Student<br/><br/><strong>Signature Spell:</strong><em>Arc Bolt</em>, nicknamed "Thor's Hammer" among most that are familiar with the spell, causes a powerful bolt of lightning to shoot from the caster's wand at the target. It can arc around objects, providing a solid offence against opponents using solid objects as shields or to simply try and catch them off guard with a flanking manoeuvre. Proper arcing requires great finesse though, so full mastery of the spell is limited to a small pool of dedicated and talented wizards and witches who took the time and effort to master it.<br/><br/>Is also familiar with nonverbal spellcasting and has trained himself to a level where he can cast many of the spells he uses frequantly in duels without uttering a word.<br/><br/><strong>Wand:</strong>9 and ¼ inches, Birch with a Chimera Scale core.<br/><br/><strong>Mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong><strong>Kiran</strong>(http://imageshack.us/a/img820/9101/f9wlyhe6l9d5ylef.jpg) stands tall at six feet and two inches and possesses a toned, well trained figure. His hair is dark and unruly and his eyes a silvery blue.<br/><br/><strong>In my heart of hearts:</strong>Kiran is one of those people who never seem to run out of juice, especially when it concerns their greatest passion. With an optimistic and straight forward personality, he rarely lets anything get him down, instead viewing it as an opportunity for improvement and challenge to better himself. While very open and positive in nature, he is by no means naive and often very aware of his surroundings and his current situation.<br/><br/>Because of his training and experience in dueling he can keep a cool head in a fight and is thus unlikely to panic, even in dire situations. While not as knowledgeable as certain other people, he is quick to think on his feet and adapt to situations, where possible.<br/><br/><strong>My dark past:</strong>Pressured from a young age to succeed in life, young Kiran entered Hogwarts wondering early on what to do with his life. He wandered from hobby to hobby, never really finding something that could hold his interest. It was not until the summer before his fourth year that he found his true calling while attending an international dueling tournament in France with a friend. Instantly enticed by the fast pace and often ingenious spellweaving of professional duelers, he decided to make the world title his life's goal.<br/><br/>From that point on he began dedicating almost every spare moment he had to studying, practicing and improving his fighting skills. Noting the sudden change in their child, his parents, a pair of successful business entrepreneurs in the potions branch, supported him by buying him various books and training equipment.<br/><br/>After graduating from Hogwarts at the age of seventeen, Kiran made his debut in the amateur dueling scene. Gaining quite a few matches from the get-go, he soon caught the public's eye with his talent and upbeat personality. Within three years he had managed to work his way into the European top ten of the amateur league<del>   </del>an amazing feat for a rookie with only self taught skills. This caught the eye of a talent scout for the Norwich Nightmares, a high ranking dueling team competing on a world-wide level. However, because of new rules and regulations in the professional league, Kiran is required to have the proper papers before he is allowed to compete. This lead him to Dragonsclaw University of Wizardry and Magic, where he now studies the finer arts of dueling and magic in general in order to claim his place as professional dueler.
