Forum:Ryan M Cohn

1) Give a short history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. My name is Ryan Cohn, although I prefer my middle name, Matthew. I was born as a half-blood, but I was raised by two pure-bloods. I was surrounded by magical, odds, and old items all my life, which kind of started my obsession with that kind of stuff.

When I was a teeneager, a girl I dated gave me a human skull. She couldn't have chosen a more appropriate gift. I'd handled just about every variety of animal skull short of an elephant, but this was the first homosapien cranium I'd seen up close. I was awe-inspired. It wasn't just some half-eaten dog skull, this belonged to an actual person. The weeks passed, and I looked over the anatomical works of Leonardo DaVinci. I was absolutely compelled to examine every aspect of what made up the human cranium. Every different component, detail, and complexity that form this wondrous structure took my breath away. I was researching more, when I discovered Anatomist Claude Beauchene's "exploded" skulls from the 18th century. I decided to hunt down skulls to bring back this lost art form. I had to use previous experience I had as a custom jewler.

However, recently, my business went down a bit more than I relalized. I hunted and bargained with people, and I found Obscura, which the owners, Evan and Mike hired me. I helped then find more old and odd bits to go in their shop. However, if I could not bargain, I was kinda forced to do a bit of personal bargaining, which was a steal.

2) Give a short description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? I would say I'm a bit odd, although I have a social life. Aside form that,with my job, there are a lot of different roles I play professionally. I think instead of limiting myself as an "artist" or "osteologist" perhaps "professional weirdo" or "ecclectic mad scientist" may be more appropriate. You really have to have an odd sense of humor when it comes to this type of business. We are grownups that play with dead things, and make a living that way. We are so lucky!

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!) Half-blood

4) Describe your character's profession. Do you plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher? I work at Obscura, especially during day shifts. During the night, especially on weekends, I go out for personal bargains, making a steal.

5) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids?

Yeah I'm single, but dating can be a little tricky sometimes. In the past, I stayed away from collectors, but I don't have any strict rules or guidelines when it comes to dating. My apartment is filled to the brim with my collection of antique relics, and some people don't want to deal with this. My job is also very time consuming. I go out in the field at 3AM. I try and separate my work and social life the best I can.
