History: Cyrus, or as he prefers to be called, Cy, was born at 2:54 PM in Melbourne Australia. He is the son of Teal Andrus and Meredith Duncan, whose marriage was beginning to fall apart. At just three months old, his parents split up and his father, Teal, moved back to London in pursuit of a job at the Ministry. Cy was raised by his mother’s side of the family, the Duncans. The Duncan’s were a poor pureblood family of Australian lineage that was known for making a living in various forms of skullduggery and under-ground marketing.

With his father completely gone from his life, and his mother constantly absent due to her sketchy job assignments, he was forced to partially raise himself. He hated his grandparents and their pureblood traditionalism. He spent almost all of his time with the other neighborhood children who were muggles. Cyrus developed a very strong kinship with these guys, and even though his grandparents forbade him to play with muggles, he did it anyways. He became quite the rebel, and was known to be the dare-devil out of his friends. He had a knack for chatting people’s ears off, he was a big talker.

He became a great soccer player (football, as he knows it). At certain points over the summer it was literally impossible to see him without a ball in hand. He also was a great surfer for his age. He lived in the beach in Melbourne. He was the kid that could make friends at the snap of his fingers, and made enemies at about the same rate. Life was good in Australia, and even his grandparents began to warm up to the muggles. That was when his mother was sentenced to four years in Azkaban. The details are still top secret, the only thing that Cy knows was that she accidently killed a French Auror as she was smuggling Runespoor eggs across the French border. He still misses her pretty bad, but the young Aussie will never admit it. In his mind, she is the past.

Then came the whole mess over who takes custody over Cy. His father Teal Andrus, whom he hasn’t spoken a word with in his entire life, wins in court. Just a few days after Cy’s 10’th birthday he is sent off to London to live with his biological father.

Life at the Andrus house-hold has been extremely rocky ever since Cyrus arrived. He resents his dad and has made the transition as hard as possible for the both of them. While Teal is at work, which is often as he is the Department Head over Magical Creatures at the Ministry, Cy wanders around the house and neighborhood. Teal has a lot of creatures around the house, and Cy’s favorite thing to do is to terrorize the House Elf. As Cy sets off for Hogwarts he only has one hope, and that is that he not be put in Gryffindor because he REFUSES to be in any house his father had been in.

When Cyrus DID arrive at Hogwarts, he was sorted into the Hufflepuff house. He quickly made friends and became a chaser for the Hufflepuff quidditch team. Unfortunately, Cy's grade were an issue and he reportedly made very low marks.

Cy spent his second year in Australia, being homeschooled on a dragon reservation by his father Teal. Although they spent a considerable amount of time together, their rocky relationship made no real progress. Cy has returned to Hogwarts for his third year.

Extra in-depth analysis: Cy is a young, gritty Aussie that seems to always have a boundless amount of energy. His dark eyes always make him look like he’s up to something bad; well, he probably is. He can talk anyone’s ear off, and if he really tried, he could probably talk to a wall with moderate success. If he likes you, he likes you. If he doesn’t like you, you’ll be FULLY aware of that fact.

He is a genius trickster, and is always looking for a way give off a good practical joke. He seems like a cute kid, but just one glance at his over confident smirk changes a persons mind.

Andrus, Teal

Photobucket

Name: Teal Dawson Andrus

Nicknames: none

Age: 41

Date of Birth: November 1st

Place of Birth: London, England

House: Gryffindor

Marital status: In a Relationship with Ariel Moyer

Current Occupation: Warden of the Northern Territory Dragon Reservation in Austrlia

Previous Occupations: Department Head for the Regulation and Control of Magic Creatures in the British Ministry

Mother: Sharon Andrus

Father: Brock Andrus

Hair: Black with a bit of grey

Eyes: Blue

Height: 6’ 2”

Best Subject: Care of Magical Creatures

Worst Subject: Astronomy

Wand: 12 inches, birch, dragon-heartstring


History: Teal graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a Gryffindor. He played on the Quidditch team and was quite an adept student in all of his subjects. Of course, he really out-shined the rest of his peers in Care of Magical Creature's and showed deep interest and a true talent in the subject. Shortly after graduation, he applied for the job at the Ministry and was accepted into the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He was young, and was also learning very fast. After working there for about six years, he decided he needed a change in his life and went to work abroad. He finally settled in Romania to work with the Dragons of that area, and while he was down there, he became engaged to a woman named Meredith. After they married, the relationship seemed to completely fall apart. They began to dislake each other, even hate each other. After one year of marriage the split apart, and Meredith took their newborn child and left; Teal hasn't seen her since. Teal continued his job in Romania working with Dragons for seven more years until he moved back to London to get a job back at the Ministry. Once again, he was accepted into his area of expertise in the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures; Beast Division. He has been in this division for the past two years and has proved to be very good at what he does. After awhile his hard worked seemed to pay off, and he was soon appointed Department Head.

A year after receiving his Department Head job in the Ministry, his ex-wife was thrown in Prison. Therefore, the custody of their son, Cyrus, was left to Teal. The time consuming job of Department was not appropriate for a single father, so he moved his son (who is a native Australian) to Alice Springs in hope up an easier life. He now runs a Dragon Reservation just a mile south of the Australian city. He is also in a relationship with the Ollivander's Shopkeeper: Ariel Moyer.

Extra in-depth analysis: Teal is an interesting guy to be around, he is cocky and believes that his opinion is always the correct one. He can be a difficult person to get to know due to the fact that he doesn’t like letting people in. In social settings, he is conversational and has a funny, dry sense of humor.

Powers, Estella

Photobucket

Name: Estella Marie Poweres

Nicknames: Stella

Age: 33

Date of Birth: June 10th

Place of Birth: London, England

House: Slytherin

Marital status: Single

Current Occupation: Improper Use of Magic Office in the British Ministry

Previous Occupations: Model for Gladrag's Wizardware

Mother: Estelline Poweres

Father: Harrison Powers

Hair: Blonde

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5’ 7”

Best Subject: Ancient Runes

Worst Subject: Herbology

Wand: 13 inches, Blackthorn, Dragon-heartstring


History: Estella grew up in a powerful, pureblood family. She was raised as the center of her parents attention, and therefore became extremely spoiled. She attended Hogwarts and was sorted into the Slytherin house for her cunning demeanor and drive. She made top grades, although she never found true friendship whilst in school.

After graduating, Estella went to Wizarding Law School and modeled for Gladrag's Wizardware on the side. After law school, she went full-time at Gladrag's until she decided she finally wanted to commit to the Ministry of Magic. She was offered a job in the Improper Use of Magic Offices and is currently working to further her career in politics.

Extra in-depth analysis: Estella was the rude, snobby Slytherin that only had friends because she forced people to be her friends. If things weren’t her way she panicked and was often the center of school drama. She filed through boyfriends like paperwork and was obviously very fearful of commitment. She is a powerful, overbearing force to behold.

Santana, Tetrus

Name: Tetrus Dodoria Santana

Nicknames: none

Age: 35

Date of Birth: June 13th

Place of Birth: Helebu, Sierra Leone

House: did not attend Hogwarts

Marital status: Single

Current Occupation: Black Market

Previous Occupations: Department Head for the Regulation and Control of Magic Creatures in the British Ministry

Mother: Bethsheba Santana

Father: Josiah Santana

Hair: Long, black dred-locks

Eyes: Brown

Height: 5’ 10”

Best Subject: Care of Magical Creatures

Worst Subject: Arithmancy

Wand: 9 inches, acacia, sphinx mane core



History: Born in Helebu, Sierra Leone in Africa, Tetrus was always living amongst warfare, whether it being muggles or wizards fighting. He was a member of the Pygmy tribe through his family, and was forced to work tirelessly for their cause. The Santana’s were one of the least prominent families in the tribe, so they and their 11 family members are lived in a small mud hut. His father, Josiah, was a strong wizard who believed in the cause of the tribe, and his mother, Bethsheba, was a muggle who was brainwashed by the tribe as well.


There was no form of school for Tetrus to attend, but his family did their best at teaching him all they knew. He obtained his wand at age seven and was expected to know how to use it (of course, like most other seven year olds, he didn’t have too much success). Most of his work in the early years consisted of gathering water for the village tribesmen and learning how to hunt. Life, for the time being, was good as he knew it. But as the war raged on, things began to slide down hill. As his siblings advanced in age they were thrown into the violent African warfare and were quickly killed, 5 of them to be exact.


He finally became old enough to understand war, and his tribe didn’t seem like a wholesome one, but he still kept his loyalty and believed in their cause. They smuggled diamonds for money and shipped Runespoor eggs to dealers in Egypt so they could be transported across the Mediterranean.

At the age of twelve, Tetrus was finally old enough to be trained for war. He quickly became a completely different person, the bright, rather happy Tetrus was soon eliminated. For three years he spend his time running through the jungle and desert fearing for his life. He saw true horrors in this time, and four years later, his servitude proved to be to no avail. His tribe was defeated and taken over by the Kikuyu. They treated them harshly, and his lifestyle began to quickly deteriorate. Tetrus make plans of escape and just two short months later him and two of his older brothers managed to leave. Apparation was not taught in their villiage, so they had to make the long trek to Egypt by foot.


The three brothers finally make it, looking horrible thin, but their smiles were still there, very much there. The next few years saw change for the Santana’s. Tetrus’ two older brothers got married and started families, while Tetrus found various types of work. Soon enough though, Tetrus gained international fame in Africa as he finally put an end to the Vampire Colette. The crazed vampire had swiped through country after country, reaching a death toll of somewhere near the thousands. In the years that followed, he continued to gain headlines as he worked with various sorts of dangerous creatures. By the age of 30, his name was a household name in the major cities of Africa.


He stayed low for awhile, secretly working on reestablishing his old, diminished tribe. But he never had any success. However, at the age of 33 he was offered a job he couldn’t refuse at the British Ministry of Magic; as they had recognized his impressive feats. Well in need to get out of Africa, Tetrus accepted and left his home behind.

After serving as the Department Head for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the British Ministry for just under a year, he resigned and began to work underground in the black market, selling runespoor eggs.


Extra in-depth analysis: Tetrus Santana has a sinister, possibly even malevolent feel about him at all times. He has a very lax way about him, but it doesn’t make him seem any more approachable.

He likes to finish things quickly, and move on to something else. He prefers quantity over quality; perfectionists really annoy him. In friendly conversation, he is a funny and extremely interesting man. But in the workplace, he is dangerously to-the-point.

Questioning his authority is probably a bad idea, unless you really want the pink slip. He’s not professional sounding, at all. But it is simply how he talks, it’s a part of him and his culture.

His messy dread-locks and bloodshot eyes make him look extremely rugged and un-clean. Well, after living in a tribe for 16 years with no showers… his hygiene isn’t the greatest. He usually smells of incense though, so unless you dislike that smell, he smells rather ok.

Diggory, Curtis

Name: Curtis James Diggory

Nicknames: Curt

Age: 20

Date of Birth: October 31st

Place of Birth: London, England

House: Hufflepuff

Mother: Eileen Diggory

Father: Jason Diggory

Hair: Light brown

Eyes: Grey

Height: 6’ 1”

Best Subject: Transfiguration

Worst Subject: Muggle Studies

Wand: 10 inches, Oak, Unicorn-hair

History: Curt was born into a large family of 9, being the youngest of seven siblings. Growing up, he quickly became accustomed to life as a Wizard and was already highly experienced in Quidditch by the time he tried out for the Quidditch team his first year. That being said, he was sorted into the Hufflepuff House just as every member of his family had been.

During his third year, he began to date fellow Hufflepuff Savannah Mae. After his older sister Annie died in his second year, this really helped lift him back on a positive track.

Curt made good grades in school and continued to play for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. In his fifth year, he was appointed as the male Prefect of the Hufflepuff House along side his girlfriend of two years, Savannah Mae.

Life went on as usual and in his seventh and final year at Hogwarts, he was offered a position as chaser for the Montrose Magpies; a professional Quidditch team. In that same year, he finally proposed to his girlfriend Savannah, in which she accepted.

Not too much later, the couple finally married and had their first child Hayley. Rest be assured, there are plenty more little Diggory’s to be running around the house soon.

Extra in-depth analysis: Curt is extremely laid back, and very hard to rattle. He is a ‘lover’ not a ‘fighter’. His biggest hobby and passion has and always will be Quidditch, he could talk about it for days on end. Family is also VERY important to Curt, and will put them above everything else.
