Forum:Shane Barnes

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.

"I'm not quite fond of giving my history to a complete group of strangers, yet here we are." "My mum, Amelia Payne, met my father (and Light Nymph), Andrew Barnes, in a hospital. He was the doctor, she was the one needing to see the doctor because of a nasty bug she had. Things went on and on, and at some point, he proposed, and she said yes. First came me, followed by Zoe, and lastly Sophie. The younger two were tightly-knit, leaving me excluded more often than not, but I didn't quite mind. My father made up for it, and we'd go out together alone when I wasn't with my circle of friends." "I grew up having an affinity to healing, which wasn't surprising given my heritage. When I had my first magical sign, I was about eight. My mum had cut herself while cooking for my sisters and I, and it was sort of a deep cut. I panicked, and while I was trying to clean her wound (which amused her, for some reason), it magically healed itself. That was probably the second to best day of my life." "Everything after that was uneventful, until I turned eleven and got my Hogwarts acceptance letter. I went off to Hogwarts, took all the classes necessary for a job as healer, and graduated with near perfect marks. However, some time before graduation, I came across someone quite interesting in the North Side of Diagon Alley. Her name was Elissa Brandt, and she was about my age. She had a knife stuck in her thigh, and was unable to move. With me being the only person around, as well as a Half-Light Nymph with exceeding healing skills, my offer to help came quickly and bluntly. She was shocked, and refused my offer, but I was quite stubborn, and didn't go until she let me help her. Reluctantly, she did some time later. Some time in between the process, she let out how she'd gotten hurt. She was a dark witch." "Honestly, I was quite interested in it. It turns out there was a few dark organizations, and it was up to them to fix themselves. I wouldn't let that stand. Do you have any idea how quick you'd die if you forgot to disinfect a wound? So, rather than going to St. Mungo's for a job shortly after graduation, I went around the world, to places where there were usually criminals hanging on and about. Knowing they wouldn't accept people without skills, and would probably fry me, I slipped into the world of thievery. I was a poor thief back then, but as time went by, I began to get better and better, until at some point I was somewhat known. "That's when I decided to return to my home - Great Britain. It was a regular day, and I was on and about in Knockturn Alley, when I bumped into someone. Heaven knows it was a babe, and I would have tried and made a move on her, except she was mad. Literally. She was insane. Our meeting wasn't a pleasant one, but it wasn't a bad one either. I suppose it was just... neutral. However, I knew there was something about her... and well, effectively. She was a dark witch. I found out when I bumped into her a few weeks later, and not quite literally this time. She was in the process of slaughtering someone out cold. I had two options. Either she killed me to assure my silence, or I joined the organization she was in. Obviously, I went for the latter."

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?

Unlike most in his dark line of work, Shane is generally very helpful and laid-back. Although he has a short temper, it rarely ever comes to light. Accompanying his inheritance of half-light nymph, he's relatively easy to get along with, and is normally very polite. He's very sneaky, though, needing the skill in order to be able to steal for whichever organization he works with. He's ambitious and stubborn, always riled up with the determination to get whatever he wants, exactly when he needs/wants it. Despite knowing he shouldn't be, Shane is a very trusting person; however, once you've lost his trust it's quite difficult to gain it back. Hard, but not impossible. If you've got it, he'll definitely be loyal to a fault. With a kind spirit, easy nature, light attitude, and accepting personality, Shane is certainly easy to befriend. Even with all of this, it doesn't mean he has a darker side to him. He's not proud of it, but at times he can be known for being manipulative, sarcastic, and impulsive. That's a side he's kept tucked away for as long as he's possibly can, only showing a glimpse of it whenever he's out doing his boss's dirty business.

4) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)?
