Druery, Silas

Silas Druery
SS - Ministry of Magic RPG (retired)

Birthdate: August 19. 2033
Appearance: Over six foot, very slender, with dark hair and dark eyes.

Hogwarts background: Sorted into Hufflepuff, Silas attended Hogwarts from 2044 to 2051. There he excelled in History of Magic, Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures. He also fared well in Transfiguration. He has since worked to increase his proficiency with potions and charms.

Personal and work history: The middle son of Arsenius and Cyrah Druery, Silas has repeatedly attempted to distance himself from the family legacy of pureblood elitism and cruelty. Leaving home following his graduation and the death of his brother, Kayson, Silas worked in a series of muggle jobs before returning to the wizarding world quite briefly. Following another personal tragedy, Silas left for the United States where he worked on staff for a muggle Senator for nearly 10 years. During this time, he grew to appreciate many facets of muggle life, as well as gain a deeper understanding of how best to keep these worlds protected from one another. Throughout his escapes into muggle life, he always felt drawn back to the wizarding world by a sense that he could help make things better, particularly for those who are misunderstood, distrusted or ostracized. He returned from the States in August 2069 to work with the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad on level three until accepting the Division Head position in the Spirit Division in June of 2070. In January of 2071, Silas abruptly resigned his post and left the Ministry.

Personality: Silas is a rather guarded man, rarely disclosing anything about his past, and often not taking kindly to inquiries. Very few are afforded the opportunity to get to know him in anything more than a superficial way. Despite that, he is generally a kind man who is eager to assist others. He can be rather pleasant company, so long as the past isn't broached. He has a dry, cynical sense of humor.

Patronus: Coyote

Other: Silas married Dora Lovegood in the summer of 2070. She passed away in Spring 2071 after giving birth to their twins, Imogen and Gabriel.

Personality:
Preston Kingsley prefers formality. Titles. Honorifics. Ruffles. He is quite a stickler for proper manners and does not tolerate behavior that he does not see as befitting young gentlemen and ladies in an educational setting. This does not mean that he doesn't enjoy a good chuckle, occasionally, but that there is a time and a place for such things.

History:
Preston Kingsley was born and raised in Swindon, by two muggle-born parents who preferred to raise their children among muggles. The third of four siblings, Preston never really got on with either of his older brothers Robert and Asher, instead spending a significant amount of time with his younger sister Eleanor, despite their age difference.

As a student, Preston mostly kept to himself, preferring to write home to his sister and parents.. He despised Quidditch, thinking it a silly distraction from more important things. He excelled in Transfiguration, Charms and Defense, and performed reasonably well in Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. He did not take Arithmancy or Divination beyond what was required as he did not find himself capable in those subjects. Rather than spread himself thin, he opted to instead focus on those topics in which he showed the most aptitude.

Following graduation, he took a job with the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, though he was most captivated by questions of policy creation, rather than enforcement. He stayed in this position for a few years, continuing his practice of writing to his sister who was then, herself, a student at Hogwarts. When she took ill, Preston abruptly left his job and moved back home to help care for her. He tutored her in numerous subjects, eventually taking on additional students, whose parents wanted supplements to their own homeschooling. He continued his own independent study, furthering his proficiency in a multitude of areas.

Preston continued to live with Eleanor after she moved out of their parents house, as she was not able to care for herself. He continued his tutoring, taking on a number of pupils from influential families who, while they did not want to send their children away to school, did not want to handle the business of education themselves, either. He continued in this work for a number of years until one of his employers, a member of the Wizengamut offered him a position as an adviser.. He served in this capacity for less than a year, finding that while he had been fascinated by the field as a youth, now missed education. Eleanor now able to care of herself, thanks to an experimental course of treatment, has insisted that Preston leave her and accept a position at Hogwarts.




From the RRR: "I simply wished to express my displeasure at your rather public display of things best kept private. In polite society, one does not chew on their dance partner in public view. Do what you want where there is no audience but here, it is distasteful, disrespectful of others, and frankly a bit provocative."

Pryce, Tiberius Reginald

Tiberius Reginald Pryce
SS - Hogwarts RPG

Picture thanks to AnnaBanana :)

Birthplace: Outside Iowa City, Iowa, United States while his parents were on "vacation."
Birth date: 15 August, 2058 at 2:00am. One month premature.

Height: 4ft, 6in
Build: Incredibly slight, underweight.
Hair: Sandy, light brown
Eyes: Hazel

Family:
Parents: Only child to muggle Susan (Metzen) Pryce and pure-blood wizard Tirion Pryce (deceased).

Paternal grandparents: His paternal grandparents, Matticus and Tena, are deceased, Tena having passed when Tirion was a small child. Matticus remarried and had another child. The stepgrandmother and half-uncle are still living, though Tiberius has no knowledge of them, and his mother assumes they have no knowledge of them.

Maternal grandparents: Alice and Regis Metzen disowned Susan when she married Tirion. They were not told of Tiberius' birth nor Tirion's death.

Personality and important history:
Tiberius is incredibly shy and hesitant to trust people. He was mercilessly teased in his muggle school before coming to Hogwarts. He was pranked and often pushed around. His only friend at school was hospitalized following a prank and did not return to school. Under the Imperius Curse his first year at Hogwarts, Tiberius pulled a nasty prank on Professor Kazimeriz, which he still cannot explain.

He is inquisitive and a bit of a book worm. He would normally be singularly devoted to his schoolwork, but the events of his first term, including being witness to an attack on Professor Lawson, distracted him. He opted to try out for Quidditch to get over his fear of flying and was selected as team Seeker. Again, he is finding himself distracted as mysterious things are occurring at school, including his waking up severely injured with no memory of what happened.

Any remaining spare time is consumed with finding out about his father, who died when he was three.
