! introduction, player: callie

Hello friends! Callie again, but this time with a BOY. :) I'm late on the intro train because I took an impromptu trip to Asbury Park, NJ for a zombie walk. Many apologies! <3

This lovely young man is Ryan Hertz. He's an Azurcrest senior, and I'm going to go ahead and quote his concept first because it's important and probably the best way to sum him up I could ever do. "Enigmatic doom cookie keeps himself hidden under a bad boy image." Yeah. Let that sink in first as we move onto the bullet points lol

-Born in Versailles, France but moved to Dorchester, MA when he was 7. (Yes, he speaks French!)
-Halfblood. Mom was the witch who abandoned him to his muggle father when he was born. His father was a strict man, but things didn't get bad until the magic appeared. That's when the verbal/emotional abuse turned physical (and into creative/archaic punishments) to "drive the evil out"
-Ryan went from a charming and engaging child to a wary and guarded one who believed there was some curse on him that he was being punished for and that everyone would eventually leave him because of (cheery, right?)
-His only saving grace came in the form of Chris Park's mom, who treated him as her own and tried to make up for his shit father.
-He expects the worst first, and is always secretly expecting people will turn away or betray him even as he's putting on a good front
-After finding out his mother is in Azkaban for being in league with the Dark Lord, he decided it was his mission to be nothing like her
-He is naturally charming and engaging, with a laid back live and let live mentality and adventurist/individualist spirit, at his core. He also just firmly believes he doesn't deserve any happiness
-Generally presents as an enigmatic bad boy persona rather than his awkward and guardedly pessimistic nature. Lots of arrogance, snark, and dry wit.
-He hides these feelings because he doesn't want to be anything like what his father thinks he is or his mother is, but he also kind of wishes he could really be like that
-Tends to be extreme in his moods, and can be quite frustrating at times. No real "middle ground" where he's concerned.
-CLASSES: History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, DADA, Occulmency
-EXTRACURRICULARS: Duelling/Fencing, Gaming

Full bio is here. He needs ALL THE THINGS. Friends (besides his bestie Chris), exes (though he pushes people away when they get too close, except Chris), enemies, people he clashes with, ANYTHING. Help him grow and get over his sad sucky history please!!! <3 <3

Sooo, his relationship with Diego depends on whether or not Ryan finds him horribly annoying, or haplessly charming. If Ryan likes him, Diego is a warm and giving friend who will be very sensitive to Ryan's darker moods, but he's also a flake who breaks promises and oversteps boundaries. If he doesn't like him, they've lived together for so long Diego has probably reached the friendly passive aggression phase of his "I refuse to accept I can't get along with everyone" thing.

Reid and Ryan probably don't talk a ton? NOT THAT REID TALKS MUCH IN GENERAL. But he and Chris do like one another, so Reid will certainly be cool with Ryan.

Calvin's a baby Ribbonfin, and will know Ryan only really from Duelling/Fencing. He will eye roll at the bad boy thing because he's a snobby brat who always thinks the worst of people he doesn't know well, but he'll like Ryan more when he's being genuine. Calvin also has a family member or two in Azkaban for You-Know-Who related crimes, but that's Something You Never Talk About.

I actually think he'd like Diego. He might have trouble showing it, and he's certainly not going to tell him he's charming, but he'll appreciate Diego. The band thing is a big one and the guy isn't overly sweet or like 'zommgggggg' or anything. He might get a little annoyed with the boundaries (like he doesn't like being touched much), especially if he's in a mood, but generally I think they'll be good. Especially if Diego forces him out of his shell some.

RIGHT?! The silent friends. Just sitting there, not talking, is the best hanging out lol He does like a lot of Chris' friends on principle too.

They will be fun to feel out, I can tell. Like initial distaste and awkwardness, but the more Calvin sees of his genuine nature and vice versa, the better it will be. They might never share that family tidbit, but if they do? Instant bond.
