Gender: Male
Age: 19
Alumnus: Hogwarts :r:

General Appearance/ Dressing Style: Diogenes is tall and slender though fit. He is stronger than his slight build would have people believe and he moves with an easy grace. His skin is pale; he has dark brown hair and soulful hazel eyes. Diogenes prefers clothes of darker colours; he tries to stick to wizarding attire though he is comfortable in anything so long as it is appropriately fashionable.

The Sorting Hat is placed on your head and it begins to grumble.

Characters three greatest Weaknesses:
1. Intolerant
2. Callous
3. Spiteful

Worst Hogwarts Subject: Astronomy

Flaws: Offensive to Animals (-1 to CoMC Rolls)

Characters three greatest Strengths:
1. Flexible
2. Rational
3. Sharp-witted

Best Hogwarts Subject: Arithmancy

Merits: Graceful (+1 to Grace & Flying Rolls)
History Buff (+1 to HoM Rolls)
Lightning Calculator (+1 to Arithmacy Rolls)
Writings in Stone [+1 to AR Rolls]

Abilities: Animagus - Peregrine Falcon (Earned Fall 2016)

Personality: Diogenes can be generally described as aloof, he holds himself above and beyond what he sees as the petty squabbling going on around him. When needed he can be charming and persuasive, though he would prefer not to have to interact with anyone he views as below him – which is most everybody. He is inquisitive and eager to learn, picking up new subjects with ease though not necessarily having the discipline to stick with them for long before he is off after something else.

Parents: Aloysius and Cornellia Blackbourne
Siblings: Oridian Blackbourne, Brother (3 years older)

History: Diogenes is the second child of Aloysius and Cornelia Blackburn. Coming from a wealthy and prestigious Pureblood family, he grew up having his every whim catered to. Anything he every asked for or desired was presented to him, even his tutors had a tendency to bend to his will. He received his invitation to Hogwarts on his eleventh birthday and, over his objections that he would learn more by being homeschooled, his parents sent him on his way.

There were some interesting things that the classes taught, but for the most part he was certain that he could have received a more comprehensive and specialized education at home. Not to mention that the school was positively crawling with tainted students. In the five years he had attended he was able to count on one hand the number of people that he legitimately respected or considered friends and the majority of them were Professors.

With his graduation from Hogwarts he set about attempting to find something to do with his life to keep things from getting boring. His family continued to dote on him and he had, essentially, unrestricted access to the family fortune so he felt no need to seek out a job. He spent the majority of his time travelling and working with his father who seemed ecstatic that one of his sons seemed interested in learning about the investments that had seen the Blackbourne fortune continue to grow.

Occupation: Amateur Investor – Professional Socialite
Pets: A large Eagle Owl named Myrddin

This is the profile that was approved. Changes above may reflect advances in grade, age, and personal history. Changes made to the character's core (e.g. strengths, weaknesses, flaws, merits) may be made, however, they MUST have sufficient play to explain the changes. Changes made because a player "wanted" to make the change are not acceptable.

Please update your profile to the Character Sheet Format - Adult.

This is a great time to update your character's personality traits to how they are now and how they have been played. Characters develop as they are played so these changes are welcome now that there is validation behind them.

Also, please update your character's history to reflect having graduated and any changes that come with that.

You have until December 29th to update your profile before the character is considered inactive and will be considered for suspension.

Thank you for your time and welcome to the Adult Community.
