Hey, everyone! This is Xan (xanthophiliac) again, and I'm still in the same EST time-zone as before. Just as a heads-up in terms of availability, since it's December and I work in retail (especially really early/late hours, since I do stock/visuals), my availability is probably going to be spotty and inconsistent, so it may take me awhile to get back to people with tags and whatnot. So please bear with me, and I apologise for the inconvenience!
Anyway, I have Regulus Black this time! Hopefully I'll be able to hammer out the survey and a (somewhat recycled) app later, but in the meantime -- younger Black brother, cousin to the Black sisters, bb Death Eater (joined 1977) who writes dramatic notes and throws himself into a zombie pit to bring down Voldemort, etc. Slytherin 1972, Seeker, prefect, Slug Club, probably joined the Chess Club instead of the Duelling Club like all of the other DEs. Obviously, he was meant to be the Black spare and ended up replacing Sirius as the heir after he ran away, and he tries really hard to live up to family expectations and (over-)compensate for Sirius' failures. Personality-wise, he tends to be polite, reserved, sensitive, neurotic, and aloof, but isn't hopeless with people, and is probably best-described as an intellectual and nerd who wants to know everything (esp about the Dark Arts and history), good at research, and asks too many questions. He's a flop duellist though, like, he's that kid who knows a million curses and how to duel in theory and does well-enough on practical tests in school, but chokes in an actual fight because it's overwhelming and he's kind of soft and doesn't like confrontation.
I p much want to explore everything in terms of relationships and world-building! Black and extended family shenanigans, friendship with the other young DEs, Dark Arts world-building, etc. I don't really have any specific AU stuff in mind yet, but I'm definitely open to exploring any ideas people have for that. Also, let me know if there's any established Black family game canon I should know about, Chel and I are working on stuff for that branch of the family right now!
