Some people say that: I am a calm and quiet man who generally avoids social situations whenever possible. Many have classified me as "zen," which I believe is an accurate assessment as I do practice meditation and generally use the more gentle aspects of my particular magical and martial discipline. Pairing quite nicely with this calm is a lack of people: Dagda is noisy enough to count as all of the interaction I need in a day, so I would much rather spend my time alone with my books and/or with snakes. They are the only living creature with whom I can be truly at ease. Despite my zen nature, I have little patience with people: if you have something to say, go ahead and say it, I have no interest in pleasantries. If I am instructing you, I will not berate you for an error so long as you genuinely are trying and putting serious effort into the endeavor. When my patience runs out, I do not lose my temper, rather I become dismissive and will not even give you the time of day until your behavior has improved. However this rule changes when the offense is against a book. Offend once and I will reprimand you with decidedly obvious annoyance. Do it again, and I become enraged. When enraged, my air powers get more offensive and I become highly aggressive. Other notes are that I am usually quite formal and treat others with the upmost respect. As for romance and other such matters of the heart, I find them dreadfully tedious and more time-consuming than they are worth. A willing bachelor I will remain. All accurate except for that last part. It's hard to worm your way into his heart (or rare that he wants you there) but should the impossible happen, he is very tender and loving, a bit of a snuggler, kinda the caregiver archetype yet calm at the same time. He just doesn't know how to flirt so he gets very tense and awkward when such occasions arise. He plays cool so he doesn't have to admit he's in over his head.
I stand at an impressive: 191 cm / 75.19685039 in. (roughly 6 ft 3 in)
Well my story is(Bio): Does that really matter? If it is on the application then it matters. And don't bother with hiding info, I hear that powerful pipsqueak of a headmaster they have is quite talented at sniffing out information. I come from a long line of enchanters, all sides had their fair share of influential enchanters, and even a few wizards/witches. Like me, I was a full-blown wizard back when I was alive. Should be obvious, no half-pint enchanter could separate their soul at the time of death and place it in a skull. Ethnically speaking, I am a mix of Irish, German, Swedish, Japanese, and Swiss: cosmopolitan, I know. I am the oldest of seven, however technically they are all half-siblings (even my twin,) but that is only a technicality as we see each others as full-blooded siblings. Now that's some real magic there. My father had some difficulties in the relationship department, though I assure you he is a wonderful person and has always done right by us children. That's putting it mildly. Your dad was literally cursed by some crazy chick who had a crush on him in high school. She got pissed he was interested in someone else, so she cursed him to never be able to keep a love. First wife: had the twins but was having an affair the whole time, eventually dumped him on the twin's first birthday. Second wife: divorced after two months, but hey at least it was just after the kid was born. Third...uh, relationship: dated for seven years, two kids together, but then she was just like "well it's been fun, see ya!" wtf!? Fourth wife: that was actually going well, happy family, two more kids, and damn she totally loved him, but of course something had to happen so she just up and died. How many virgins had to be sacrificed to get that heavy of a curse!? Moving on, I made straight A's in school with little effort, though my disdain for social functions certainly aided in keeping me on the straight and narrow and never swerving towards peer pressure. This of course made me unpopular in school, especially when I was never willing to give others the answers, but it was irrelevant. I enrolled in Enchant University North when I was seventeen, and graduated with only a minor hiccup (not in terms of grades, of course) with honors four years later. Oi, that hiccup wasn't so little you know. So get this, he was actually trying to have a sort of social life, even if it was about as impotent as a wet noodle. He agreed that for his 21st birthday he would do the stereotypical thing and get drunk with friends. Well, one of those friends decided that the best gift ever would be to temporarily polymorph him into his favorite animal: a snake. The polymorph worked so Seb got to spend some time as a snake. Whoop-de-doo. The caster ended up passing out before he could break the spell, and was too damn hungover when he did get a chance to break it that he screwed up. Sebbie ended up transforming most of the way back, but he ended up retaining the eyes and tongue of a snake. So that's why he's a mute. Snake tongues are difficult as hell to talk with. Not like he was much interested in talking anyway. That summer I enrolled in a masters program for library science, concentrating in Academic Libraries (ie college and university libraries) at a prestigious university, then following it up with a PhD in library science, specializing in the librarian track. Yes, I could have gone into a more specialized collegiate institute with such a degree, but I chose to return to my alma mater to continue my research into magic. I have managed this library for seven years now.
I LOVE: 1. Silence Poetry from WWI
2. Snakes Drawing (particularly shoujo style)
3. A gentle breeze on a moonlit night Fruity Mixed Drinks
4. Woodwind Instruments Classic Pinups
I HATE: 1. Loud Noises Losing an Argument
2. People Who Dog Ear Pages Vacuuming
3. People Trying to "Fix" Me / Assert I Need Fixing My Attempts to Get Him a Social Life
4. False Translations by the Pest (Dagda) Sunlight, Because He is a Vampire
I'm openly: Asexual You sure? Yes. Well there is that folder on your comp- Oh no, why do you have the duct tape out? Help! I promise I won't say any- mumble mumble mumble
I'm terrified of: 1. Being as Unlucky in Love as My Father That's accurate.
2. Silverfish (not phobic so much as must kill on sight) Seriously? Lame.
I have a crush on: How is this relevant to my employment? Don't be a prude! You know you have a major case of the hots for that super smexy head nurse!
I'm currently seeing: No one. It's true, his love life is about as exciting as a slice of bread.
