Name: Seth Norton
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Year: Sixth
House: Ravenclaw
Ethnicity: Scottish/American, noticeable American accent.
Hair/Eye: Short brown hair, very wiry due to Scottish heritage.
Pet: Esrath, a glittery-black snake with gold eyes.

Home life: Mother was a beautiful and powerful Scottish witch that married an American (muggle) lawyer, Seth's father. His mother died when he was ten under suspicious circumstances, though the ministry was unable to discover what really happened. After this, Seth's father began drinking heavily and (perhaps under the influence of a love potion) remarried to a bottle-blond investigative reporter that prided herself on angering the rich and powerful. It was only a matter of time before she angered the wrong person and suddenly all of their lives were in danger. They were forced to move all around Europe and the Americas for several years, ignoring Seth's magical education entirely. After a particularly vehement fight with his stepmother, he stowed away on a plane to Scotland where his great-aunt lived. He took correspondence courses in wizardry, and using his hatred of his stepmother and desire to rescue his father from her as a tool, he worked around the clock to learn spells some accomplished adult wizards would shy from attempting. For almost a year he had no contact with anyone except a hundred and five-year-old witch that thought Beethoven was the new non-conformist music. However, because he charged ahead, paying little attention to simple spells, he is at a disadvantage when dealing with people of his own age. One cannot answer a Tickling Charm with a Disruption Field, nor utilize sectumsempra in response to a simple insult. Seth has come to Hogwarts to complete his education and be around people of his own age, though he is sorely tempted to try to follow in Voldemort's footsteps and become a master of evil.

Diving deeper: Quick to hate and slow to trust, Seth Norton is often cold and distant, letting few into his heart. To stave off the pain of his mother's death, from which he never really recovered, he is calculating and shrewd of mind, often forcing emotion from his heart altogether. However, even he cannot keep from feeling pain, especially at watching another's happiness. His greatest hatred is reserved for lovers, a hate born out of a mixture of longing and disgust for something he has not been shown in so long. Seth's determination to ignore all good in the world wavers however, when he is shown unexpected kindness. The best way to Seth's heart is to catch him unaware, for he may just forget his dark disguise.

Taking a closer look:
Seth's face contorted as he watched a pair of amorous classmates kissing over a steaming cauldron. His piercing blue eyes were cold and hard as his gaze played over the pair. They're not kissing so much as sucking on each other's faces, he thought, pouring some glittering ooze into his cauldron. The dank, drippy sort of smell that surrounded the dungeons always put him in a foul mood. Idiots. He added a drop of clear fluid to his potion without looking at it, then choked as it turned incandescent green. "Oh, Twilight and Shadow!" cursed Seth. He dived away from his cauldron, ending in a graceful roll that would have put him quickly back on his feet, had the potion he had been working on not exploded at that very moment. Green fire and shrapnel flew through the air, breaking potion bottles and colliding with unlucky students. The explosion made a deep, resounding boom that seemed to rattle the very stones of the castle in the walls. Ears ringing, he pushed himself to his feet and looked around. The classroom was in shambles, with papers (some still on fire) fluttering through the air and broken glass everywhere along with stunned students. "Damn it." He looked down and noticed an insulated container miraculously not damaged by the blast. "The Erumpent horn fluid. No wonder. That's the stuff I got special in Cairo. Guess it's too volatile for classroom use," he mumbled. People were beginning to get up around him, and he quickly hid the bottle inside his robes, pretending to be as groggy as everyone else. It was doubtful they could tell, with the wreckage and disorientation and all, who had caused the explosion, and that's the way Seth intended to keep it.

I've already voiced my concerns through pms and hope you keep
them in mind through-out the roleplay. I'm curious as to what will happen
with this character. Pretty good roleplay section, by the way. C:
