This is Emily (rockrates on AIM), player of Gawain/Miriam/Peadar/Cecil/&Michael, falling prey to complete and total madness and introducing my sixth character: ROYDEN POKE!
Mr. Poke (asides from sounding like the name for some sort of whimsical marital aid) is a former Gryffindor, class of '68, who works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Beings Division, specifically as goblin liason. In his spare time he also works with P.A.W.S., counseling new werewolves (of which there have been quite a number lately, egads). Royden's own aunt, a Hitwitch he was very close to, was killed by a werewolf when he was a boy.
His name is also notable because his father, one Monty Poke, published a bestseller in 1970 entitled "THE CRAFT: A Modern Wizard's Guide to Witches", which is basically a wildly sexist how-to on manipulating women into sleeping with you. He's also published more books on swinging, and in fact Royden's step-mum is a few years younger than Royden himself. Egads x2.
Royden however is nothing like his father, being a very genuine, outgoing, friendly sort of fellow who wears a lot of plaid shirts and only stocks bright red socks. He likes muggle gadgets and flannel. He isn't easily embarrassed and is rather uninhibited, though really dislikes his father's book. And the fans of said book. And being clapped on the back by fans of said book.
Also he has three cats and they are his darlings.
Loads more about him over here! Plot/Friends/Exes/&tc, all welcome!
