ARGENTILLE ALLIUNDE |
General Age: 26 years Date of Birth: February 13th Gender: male Species: Human/wizard Dimension: Misguided Ghosts Appearance Link||Link Argentille changes his appearance frequently. Every morning he picks a color depending on his mood and co-ordinates each part of his outfit to different shades of that color, whether by charms or simply choosing from his vast collection. He can be found in almost any color of the rainbow, but prefers brighter colors on normal days, usually purple, pink, red or teal. He dresses flamboyantly; his favorite ensemble is a button-down shirt, a form-fitting trench coat that flares out at the waist and ends at about his knees, gloves that end about half-way up his over arm and are folded over at the end, tight dark, almost black pants and almost knee-high boots that are also folded over at the top and made of a sort of frumpy material. His appearance is made up of several charms; one that makes his ears long and pointy like an elf, and one to change his eye color, hair color or highlights and slightly tint his skin to whatever his color of the day is. A while ago, he filed his teeth into sharp points, but he has a charm to make them look normal. He also used to wear glasses, but after they got broken a few times, he replaced them with goggles that have been charmed to serve as corrective lenses and keep his eyesight at 20-20. They are also tinted his color of the day, or else will change with his mood if no particular color is set, and they glow in the dark by default but also on command. If you were to catch him without his charms on and without all his flashy clothes, his appearance is rather unassuming. He is naturally very tall and wiry and his limbs are long and gangly. His hair is flat black and messy. He puts surprisingly little effort into it, even when he is fully dressed. His natural eye color is a pale green, almost grey, and his overall appearance is surprisingly intimidating. He can fight with magic, but he prefers to use his Swiss-army knife, which has been enchanted to either multiply into throwing knives for long-ranged combat, a steam-powered chainsaw or an electric guitar that produces random magical attacks with each chord as a sort of ‘wild-card’. All the enchantments on it took him a long time and it is his pride and joy. His weapon is also enchanted to match the color of the day. Personality Argentille is flamboyant and audacious, and at the same time, secretive and totally insane. He contradicts himself a lot; he hates dirt and germs, but loves blood and has no qualms being covered in it, for one. He is independent and secretive, yet he needs constant attention and validation, for another. He is also in serious denial about his mental state, saying he is perfectly fine, maybe admittedly a little OCD, but in the next minute, he could be viciously ripping someone apart with a chainsaw or hacking at his own wrist with his pocket knife. However, he does have excellent self-control, and won’t attack someone without provocation, so he is safe to be at the school, although he is widely regarded as a complete lunatic. He also tries to keep his emotions as hidden as possible, but his goggles are a dead giveaway of this. Besides the fact that if he doesn’t have them set to a particular color, they change to match his mood, they glow when any emotion gets particularly strong, usually anger, or when he goes crazy/attacks someone etc. Likes

Family Mother: Heather Alliunde (deceased) Father: Cody Roberts (biological father, deceased) Other: Earl Heirschrish (Step-father, deceased) Other: Jennifer Carrow (love interest) History ((violence, death, insanity warnings!!)) Argentille’s father, Cody Roberts, died while his mother was pregnant with him in the wizarding war. His mother, Heather, changed her last name back to her maiden name, Alliunde, and didn’t remarry until a long time after he was born, and in fact when he was almost old enough to start attending Hogwarts as a student. Cody was a kind man who would have been an excellent father, but she couldn’t bear to keep his last name from grief. His step-father, Earl, had, at first, seemed like a gentleman who treated his mother well and provided for all for them, and Heather changed both her last name and Argentille’s to Earl’s, Heirschrish, when she married him. Up until he lost his job and became a drunk and started abusing both Argie and Heather. Even with Argentille’s obvious mental problems, she insisted that he was fine, mostly because she needed at least one thing to be normal in her life, and besides, with Earl out of work and his Heather’s minimum wage paycheck, they couldn’t afford therapy for him. Even compared to Argie, though, it was clear that his step-father’s sanity was slipping quickly. He accused Argentille of ridiculous conspiracies, and, eventually deciding to give him something to mistrust him for, and, if needed, defend himself and his mother from Earl, he purchased a small, simple pocket knife and began working on enchantments for it, at first charming it to change back and forth between a pocket knife and a set of magic throwing knives that would respawn in his hand when one was thrown. He had told his mother about the knife, and left it at home for his third and fourth years in case she would need to defend herself. He was very talented at transfiguration magic and did this during the summer after his second year at Hogwarts, and, by his fifth year, he had added a steam-powered chainsaw to the list of forms his weapon could take on. During his fifth year, though, Earl had quit drinking and gotten another job. It was sudden, but he seemed to be getting his life back together. Feeling his mother didn’t need it anymore, he brought the knife to school for his last two years. Not as a weapon, but more to improve it and almost a sort of portfolio for college. On his return home from school for the first time after his seventh year, after being confused, disappointed and hurt that his parents hadn’t attended his graduation, he found the house seemingly empty. Confusion changing slowly into worry, he searched the house. He didn’t have to search long, though, before he heard a loud noise and went to investigate his parents’ bedroom, where he found Earl in the process of beating Heather, and she was close to death when he found them. He calmed Earl long enough to find out that during Argentille’s fifth year at school, Earl had begun cheating on Heather, and it had been the other woman who had convinced him to get his life back together. But recently he had lost that job and slipped back into his drinking habit and, while drunk, confessed to Heather the day before. After he had sobered up, Heather, hurt, had suggested he leave. He agreed and was given one day to pack his things, and his new girlfriend was to pick him up in the morning. He called her, and then opened a new drink and drank himself into another stupor, and began chasing Heather, casting spells at random, until he cornered her in the bedroom and attacked her. After hearing this, Argentille became very angry and immediately attacked Earl, hacking him into pieces with his chainsaw. With his dying breath, Earl cast Avada Cadavra, but missed, hitting Heather instead. Argie, after backing up, seeing his mother and step-father dead on the ground, suddenly took stock of what he had done and panic suddenly overtook him. He spent the next several hours berating himself for being impulsive, and after deciding he shouldn’t be allowed to live, he began mutilating his own hand with his pocket knife. If anyone else had known about it, they would likely classify that as the exact moment he went from ‘a little strange’ to ‘psychotic’. When morning came, bringing Earl’s girlfriend with it, Argie’s OCD kicked in and his next thought was that he had company coming, and he should at least look nice, so he set his goggles, which had replaced his glasses after they had broken multiple times, to glow red to match all of the blood everywhere, mostly the floor around Earl’s severly mutilated corpse and on himself, as well as his own blood on his hand and soaking into the carpet. When there was no reply to the doorbell, Earl’s girlfriend came through the still-unlocked door, fearing the worst, and indeed finding it when she came across Argie, bloody with glowing red eyes, who, after a short conversation, ensured she met the same fate as his step-father. After that, Argentille left and changed his last name back to his mother’s maiden name before continuing on with his plan to go through college, and eventually graduated to be professor of transfiguration at Hogwarts. He also added the final charm to his knife; a guitar, as his mother had always wanted him to take up an instrument. And in his spare time, he did indeed learn it, and also ended up weaponizing it, in a sick display of irony. His mind has never fully recovered, and murder and violence has become a kind of stress-relief for him, to the extent that if he is by himself in a particularly fragile state of mind, or even just bored, he’ll start causing serious harm to himself with his pocket knife, or any sharp object within reach. Only one person knows about his murderous tendencies; the Charms professor, Jennifer Carrow. Even despite Argentille’s love of messing with the other staff members at the school, and even his students occasionally, he was never able to come up with anything good to do to her, and she eventually noticed. As his ‘pranks’ on the others grew further and further towards torment, he began befriending Jennifer, sort of by accident, and his desire to harm her became less and less. It didn’t occur to him for a long time though, that he was in love, and it was only a while after this that they began officially dating, if secretly. Jennifer seems to have had an effect on his life, softening him a little, and his reign of chaos in the school has eventually died back down to slightly-more-than-harmless-pranking. ((What I have in mind for them getting together is actually a lot more climactic on the actual site, but I don’t want to spoil it in case it still happens. XD)) |
