Forum:Oliver C. Berrin

Please put ~ here.



1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. Oliver Cyrus Berrin was a male wizard born out of an affair between with dark wizard Shadow Berrin and Anastasia Woodrow. Anastasia, a faithful servant of Shadow, was chosen for her loyalty and blood purity to bear the heir of the Berrin family. However, Woodrow grew wise to Shadow's schemes and ran off. Still, she loved her lover so that she named her son Oliver Berrin.

Oliver grew up without a father in his life. Her mother loved him so with the same endearment she showed Shadow. Even without a father, Oliver learned to succeed in the wizarding world. At Hogwarts, he wasn't quite the popular student and preferred to stick to his small clique until his later years. When he was made prefect of his house, he became a rather well-admired and popular individual, perhaps due to his newfound authority. Along with this, Oliver began trying new activities, such as Quidditch, though quit the team after his fifth year, believing it wasn't suited for him. Oliver remained prefect until his seventh year, after his graduation. He was never made Head Boy.

After his graduation, Oliver continued working full-time at Flourish and Blotts, which he had been employed at part-time since his sixth year. He worked there for about six months until resigning his position in favor of journeying the world as a scholar. He journeyed across all of Europe for six years, starting in France, to Spain, through Italy and into Germany. He visited the Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy and studied the world of magic. When he returned, he was so burnt out that he decided to gain employment at the Croydon Central Library, a Muggle institute, to learn about the Muggle world. He found himself both bewildered and enthralled by the world of no magic. After his two year career with them, however, Oliver decided he was ready to return to the world of magic. Fondly remembering his time at Hogwarts, Oliver decided to apply for the post of an assistant librarian at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble?

Oliver Berrin, contrary to his arrogant father, is a rather humble fellow. But rather than what his modesty would suggest, he is actually a very intelligent fellow, both out of natural talent and having spent many years studying the world around him. Oliver, while not a social creature, has a rather clever wit. He can be a bit awkward, however. He is not a talented fighter, but is by no means a coward. Some would say he has a good heart. He tends to be generous, sometimes bordering on the naive. However, Berrin sometimes know when to stretch the truth when it suits him. He is rather calm individual, and very rarely bursts out in anger.

Is he or she of a different magical race, such as veela, vampire, werewolf or the likes? Part or half of that magical race counts!
