NICKNAMES. Vin
BIRTHDATE. November 23rd
AGE Eighteen

CANON OR ORIGINAL? Original (son of a canon)

*Lindsey always wanted a wizard pirate boy with red hair. She could just see him in a boat raiding with magic and swords and sh!t so when Vincent was born she was absolutely thrilled. She hasn't convinced him entirely to be a real pirate yet, but she did name him after Blackbeard which will be ironic when he gets older with a bright red beard.

HAIR&EYES Vin has inherited the magic hair of his mother. His grandmother changed her hair so many times in her life that his mother's hair is naturally layered and bright red. Vin's is not layered, but it does have an unnatural shade which is vividly bright. Somehow it's always clean and dry, even after he comes out of the shower. He saves a fortune in shampoo. Throwing a bottle of water or other liquid on his head fascinates the other students as it runs right off without sticking- - this means he changes clothes a lot during the first few weeks of every school year which is annoying.

His eyes are a shiny black like a pool of ink and one of the few things which show his father's side. Far more interesting is his left ear which currently has six piercings, four at the top coming down and one at the bottom. His mother gets him a new one for each year he graduates with high marks. So far he has Brass, Nickel, Copper, Silver, Gold, & Platinum and he will be getting Titanium for his last year. The bottom three earrings are more more solid then the upper less important ones.
HEIGHT&WEIGHT At 145 pounds he is a bit light and slim for his age being only a little bit past the five foot eight inches mark. None of his growth spurts have been huge. Since his mother is very short, he's fairly sure he won't reach the six foot mark. However his growth does seem to have gone into his feet and hands (size 12 shoes and size 11 finger) making shaking hands with others even in their seventh year a surprise for them. It certainly helps his balance making him very sure on his feet.

He has three items which can be considered treasured possessions which are on him most of the time. First, is a large locket his mom got for him years ago which has pictures of everyone in his family in it like a collage. Second is a ring he got from his sister on his tenth birthday which always makes him smile (as she told him he was the 'X' cause he was a treasure). And finally a pair of goggles he got this summer from the same people his mom got the motorcycle from who thought he "looked cool in them."

BOGGART Losing his family including any of his extended family
MIRROR OF ERISED Freedom from restraint so he can live a life as a traveling free spirit
PATRONUS During the summer of his pre-fifth year, Lindsey (who worked with her kids getting them an edge on the spells they would be taught the next year) worked with both of them on the Patronus charm seeing the rising nerves in the wizarding world as a bad sign and remembering what happened last time. The spell turns out to have required a real struggle as the creature in question is no longer in existence in the UK. He found himself to have a Great English Wolf. The pride at such a powerful creature as well as unique for it's size (it's much larger then even some of the arctic wolves and will register as the eighth largest on record in the Ministry files (five foot at the wolf's shoulder)) that his ego has swelled a bit. This hasn't changed his playful nature, but his pack mentality (which is his family feeling mixed with his loner thoughts) has fit in very well. Vincent knows he is the Master of whatever he chooses to do or take and being a lone wolf on his own with a pack back home, he finds himself rather happy about his patronus.
PERSONALITY
Vin is one of the most mixed kids you will meet. Raised in a family of dark wizards in a haunted manor house, he was also taught about forging his own path and being proud of himself. His close family are his life, yet he feels the spirit of a loner and the attentions of his parents have had a lot of impact on the way he sees himself. And a good portion of hero worship goes along with thoughts of his mother; she is truly a free spirit, forcing others to bend to her version of the world and not caring how others perceive her. He does have several of her traits, including a strong stubborn streak, a quick thinking wit, and while he may not think about setting things on fire constantly, he does enjoy destruction of other's property. There's something powerful about it, both in stealing it and deciding whether to destroy it or not.

The other thing about theft is that it takes a quick mind as well as a light touch. You can not do things everyday or every minute, but a careful eye, judging the right moment, and taking advantage of the moments as well. Mind you, he knows the rules of etiquette and the way things work in wizarding society and agrees that things work best the traditional ways. He knows the family name is on his shoulders and he has to make a proper marriage to another pure blood, but he chose his own way of tracking her down and choosing. Like most of the family he has nothing against muggles and the muggle world, but he prefers the magic one in all ways except one; motorcycles.

And while he has nothing against muggles personally (yet), he is a damn good artifact creator. He is laid back seeming at first glance, but it's like a wolf enjoying the entertainment, not feeling the urge to get up and join in the fun until he sees the advantage for himself. Vin is not cruel without purpose nor is he greedy. He knows his power and he can tell where his strengths are; let others squabble over social position and politics, he really couldn't care less about where others see him in the world as long as those he cares about know.

HISTORY
One of the more infamous slytherins after Draco Malfoy in her year, Vincent's mother is not someone you can forget meeting. During the Battle of Hogwarts after the Slytherins were sent away, she returned on the grounds (since while she is dark, but not a fan of the DE) and fought on the edge of the forest with the giants (helped by a rare few other Snakes who didn't favor the DE), one of the reasons more did not make it to the castle. She and a handful of others managed to knock out and chase off a good portion of the attacking giants and a few of the spiders before the battle was over and they were found later on during the celebrations. Thus amongst many of the survivors of the battle she is acceptable company despite her darker nature as they know which side she was on. And wanting to save the Moon name, Lindsey went to great lengths to ensure a solid line getting her husband to agree to let her have an older boy with her last name. And since Lindsey was a law unto herself as far as living went, the freedom from her father's domination enabled her to be whatever she wanted to be. So when she had kids, each was for her a complete delight and more the center of her universe then she would admit to anyone, except maybe dear Alice who knows her sister's mind too well.

Vincent was raised with a nanny (the live one, hired, a ghost one who voluntarily joined in on the etiquette stuff) who taught him the rules, but his mother's randomness and vivacious attitude taught him early on not to hold back and be whatever he wanted to be. Raised on an island in Scotland in a huge manor house, he got used to more things then most kids might have in their lives; ghosts, magical buildings, house elves, wild sheep, wizard slaved to his mother's wishes, swimming in heavy undertow, and seeing his mother use dark magic as well as more normal spells for daily life. Sure, two of his playmates and one of his nannies were ghosts, but he still played with wild abandon across the seaweed covered rocks and explored the island with his sibs and cousins. His mother gave him loads of pirate treasure (muggle costumes, fake doubloons, and New Orleans beads) and they hid treasures and made maps and lost a lot of toys which are still hidden all over the place still. Vincent however saw himself as solitary even amongst his family (who he dearly loved still and wanted to protect), but thinks of them more as the safe base he can go out and explore from, retreating when needed.

Using his mother's spoiling to his own ends, he has managed to convince her (it didn't take much) & his father to let him study some with a pickpocket and a real thief so he could learn about stealing the small stuff. She lets him practice on her pockets, giving him points for telling her what she has tucked away, but he loses points if she finds it actually missing (so he has to replace it as well). So the last few years the manor has had dozens of locked boxes, doors, and a wide variety of items scattered all over as he plays with learning how to do this new skill (though when his sister catches him she feels free to beat on him for it). Before Hogwarts he also had playmates from some of his mom's friends. In his mind they are also part of his 'pack.' And he needed those friends at Hogwarts to keep him from forgetting who he was as the House companions he has have their own traits that are oh so different in some ways and vastly familiar in others. The first few years have been hard indeed, learning to deal with muggles and mud-bloods and maybe worst of all, Death Eater sympathizers.

In his third year, he found out about motorcycles. Now he is addicted. And riding a motorcycle with a connection of his father's introduced him to a group of steampunk lovers who showed him what a really cool motorcycle looks like! Despite being too young to drive, he got a custom motorcycle from his father for a present for his birthday and he's been engrossed in reading up on motorcycle design and maintenance ever since. So he can't say everything non-magic is dreadful. Now married, Vincent is working on setting up a shop in Hogsmeade, one half divided for his wife and one for himself with an apartment above. That way when his kids are old enough he can still be near by.

OTHER CHARACTERS Marcos Jimenez, Vincent Silver-Moon, Darius Silver, Taranis Summerby, and the fabled Lindsey Moon. Crazy old fart is a regular personality, not a character I play.

RP SAMPLE.

He nodded, grinning at Zahara doing just what he had asked. "It's not anywhere else, but we have records here kept by out family back to the 1200s and oddly enough, they were pirates, imagine that," he rolled his eyes, "but about 700 years of it have been in these walls." It was a window back into the old world and he could understand why his mother had kept it as is. "I've got a feeling it might take years just to go through it all, it seems the Moons were pretty naughty in their own unique way. Imagine that."

She handled Zahara very well, but she had already had younger kids around home to learn from; still it filled him with a kind of satisfaction to see it, even when she kissed him and Zahara laughed. "Close your eyes, Zahara, you shouldn't know about this kind of interest yet," he said before he caught her lips a second time with his. When she said it was easy he squeezed her hand and added "I told you I'd answer your questions, love. If I don't have the answers I'll try to find out." In the breakfast room she looked around and made a guess. He pulled out a chair for her in one of the two window nooks and shook his head. "Even though it's big, it was named for these nooks. It's called the breakfast room because this is where the head of the family always had that meal I guess."

The view went all the way to the ocean of course, across the land past the wall where sheep grazed. It was a great spot for views of course, but he had more then one reason for being here. As Char interrupted long enough to collect the little rascal and gave him a meaningful look; ah, so she had heard about the ring too if not seen it. Char knew very well why he had chosen this room and had probably come up just to free them of the baby distraction. His heart went out in thanks in his eyes and she winked before leaving. "just be glad she's being polite and wearing clothes around you. I've run into her in the halls in only underwear so many times I've gotten used to it. When she does that to you you'll know you're part of the family." She handed him the present and he opened it and exclaimed, seeing the needle on 'Holiday.' "This is great! Ah Keela, I'll be checking this like twenty times a day..." Setting it on the table in front of him he reached up under his shirt and pulled out his locket.

Opening, it, she could see from the side it was filled with family photos, all moving and he took the clock and set the locket on top of it carefully. "I'll get it fastened inside, I never go anywhere without it." He chuckled and changed the subject. "Keela, there's a family thing I do need to tell you about and this is a good spot to do it. See, the Silver family have these rings that each family member is given to mark them as part of the family and they have benefits with them. Any one who attacks a member of the family becomes an enemy of all of the family and anyone who is given the ring becomes an honorary member, protected." Reaching into the Locket, he removed his and held it up so she could see it. Running his finger down it's unusual coils he added "Snakes are in the Silver family crest, so they all have snakes." Shrugging, the last part was something he would not have said in front of just anyone.

"I'm both, Silver and Moon, but in my heart as much as I love my family, I'm a Moon first. I am the last male heir of the Moon name and you could say this is my breakfast nook that we're sitting in." Motioning around the room he continued. "There's a separate storage space to hold the furniture that comes from in here so it can be used for dances and special stuff though we have not had any in the last two generations. My grandfather was an @ss." He had told her enough about that already of course and she knew in vague terms about his mother's curse. Vin couldn't really tell her the details, that was for mom if she wanted to. "I however much I may seem like one sometimes, am not." Reaching out for her hand and catching it easily, he slid his ring on her right ring finger, his eyes not leaving hers. "So. I give you my ring, Keela, because I want the protection of my family to be with you always. While you may be far away from me this next year, I feel a bit better about it knowing you have people you can always turn to who will do their best for you, for my sake as well."

Standing he stepped to her side not having let go of that hand and knelt next to her as if to show her something special about the ring. "Keela, I love you from the depths of my soul to the weird hair on my head. I would do anything I could to protect you and help you soar high in whatever way you choose whether as a photographer, pianist, farmer, or" and with the practiced hand of a conjuring illusionist suddenly the other ring was in his hand from where he had palmed it earlier, held up to see "or wife, because I would like to ask for your hand in marriage. All I have is yours, though it's only this house and about thirty ghosts, but my heart is in the bargain and that is more precious to me then any possession I own." Slipping his hand into her other he held the ring close for her inspection, hoping she would allow him to put it on as well on the left finger. "Would you do me the greatest honor of becoming the first and most important Mrs Silver-Moon of my generation?"
