NAME ● Dex, just Dex unless you're Del. Then you can call him Dexxy, but he'll also respond to The Sexy Hogwarts Beater.
AGE ● Seventeen for now.
GENDER ● Quite positively male. He'll strip for you if you'd like to check?
SEXUALITY● Do you really need to ask? You do? Fine. Sorry all those men out there, Dex is straight.
YEAR ● A very obvious Seventh Year.
HOUSE ● Ravenclaw. Probably the weirdest house he could have been put in.
WAND ● Dex's wand is 14 inches long made of Elder wood, it is extremely rigid with a spiraling shaft. It was passed down to him from some obscure Damon relative and has a core of Fwooper feathers. Dex likes to argue that this monster wasn't passed down to him but specifically picked him out, and he doesn't say this because it's a good thing. The wand is thought to have belonged to one of the craziest of crazies of the Damon family, the stories around him are rather obscure, but the fact of the matter is that the wand was too long for anyone else in the family so they gave it to him.
APPEARANCE ● Dex is a born and raised Irish boy. He has the general colorings of a ginger with skin as pale as a boy who spends all his time outside can be, with bright red hair, too many freckles and dark green eyes. He's about 6' 4", and has a relatively lean build not abnormally muscular, but he's definitely not a wimpy noodle like his twin. No one even bothers to mess with him, and sometimes he has Del use his name when stupid students think it's a good idea to torture Del. Dex doesn't take to it very kindly and beats the crap out of them. Despite his many fights, Dex fits in with the attractiveness that is correlated with the Ravenclaws. Not one fight has ever scarred his face, thanks to magic, and he tries to keep it that way. About the most noticeable problem with his face is his nose. It was almost completely shattered when a bludger flew into it during a Quidditch match against Gryffindor. It was his first game, and he was too busy watching his obviously homosexual brother cheer for him from the sidelines. Magic was used to fix it but Dex decided that the new crick in his nose was even more adorable and Del agreed, so he never returned for his final appointment to fix it completely. Dex has gotten pretty good at masking his Irish accent, because it's close to incomprehensible, but when he gets mad it becomes very apparent.
Dex is unusual to say the least. Sure, when he has to go to class he looks like a regular student, with the robe, and the correct clothing. On outings though he dresses a bit odd. Nothing he wears ever matches, he'll wear stripes with spotted pants, a bright purple shirt with red and orange pants. His most common ensemble though is a black and white striped shirt with bright orange pants. He seriously has a different colored pair of jeans for everyday of the week. Del is constantly fighting with him over his wardrobe, but to his dismay he can never seem to make Dex wear anything presentable.
PERSONALITY ● It is more than enough to say that Dexterity is masculine. With the slight stubble on his chin, his deepish voice, and rough exterior, the boy just screams I'm a man. That and he plays Quidditch, and he's good at it. Quite possibly the best beater Hogwarts has ever seen and Dex knows it. As a Ravenclaw, most would assume Dex would be more brains before brawn but he seems to act before thinking things through more often than not. He tends to be very egotistical, feeling that he is better than most people and not afraid to show them up in any way. This can include fighting, magic, sexiness, really, how many girls have life-size dolls of you in their room matches? Dex wins the last one much more often than he'd ever actually like to. He's kind of jealous of his younger twin though. All the weird things seem to happen to Del, not Dex, but laughing at the events at Del's expense always makes him happy. Despite Dex's tough guy exterior, he really is a sweet heart. His role model is definitely his dad, but Del always mocks him for being such a Mama's Boy. He's also very trusting despite any conceptions given by his pet kneazle, Zard.
There are good parts about his personality though. One, he is extremely loyal to his family and friends. It is known fact that he will physically beat down any person that tries to mess with them and many students from Hogwarts will agree with this, as they have been abused by the beater. He's very against fighting with magic and feels it's the cowardly way to fight, despite the fact that he practices constantly. It doesn't seem fair that it's a matter of how quickly and proficiently someone can use a spell to stop someone then their own fists. It appalls him actually. He is also a very fast learner, the problem is that it takes him a while in order for him to perfect his skills, giving some teachers and students false pretenses about his intelligence. Dex will often not use a spell or produce a potion when asked if he does not know how to do it perfectly. It took a very long time for the teachers to get used to this attitude but most are impressed by his O.W.L and N.E.W.T scores. Dex can be a bit silly. He and his twin spend a lot of their time pranking other students and messing with anyone they can outside of school. When he and Dex were separated into two different houses, he did two things. One, he made sure that he was able to get into his brother's room at all times, and two, he laughed so hard he cried. Nothing is quite as funny as watching your wimpy twin be sent to Hufflepuff.
Dex is not perfect though, despite what he might tell you. Dex is only a perfectionist when it comes to spells and school, anything else is fair game. He has the messiest hair possible, and cuts it himself when Del isn't doing it for him. Surprisingly enough, he pulls off the messy, I-don't-do-anything-with-my-hair look. He throws on clothes when he's half asleep, meaning that they could be anything, and any way. Inside out, backwards, he just doesn't care. Dex believes that his lack of fashion sense is just as good as his brothers, basically he means they both suck. His other flaw is his total nonchalance to just about everything personal. It isn't unusual for him to walk around his room completely naked while his roommates are in it or to strip at random intervals in time. Sometimes his aloofness gets him into trouble, well, more so than usual. If his brother walks in he becomes completely conservative. The last thing he wants is for his brother to have twincest erotic dreams, if he doesn't already. Dexterity has also never had a girlfriend despite his lady-killer attitude. Taking care of Del is a full-time responsibility after all.
BIOGRAPHY ● Dex's parents are eccentric to say the least. There are generations of his father's bloodline that can be found being sent to St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Some of the reasons were so beyond ludicrous, that eventually the Hospital gave up trying to heal them all as it seemed near impossible. None of them were ever sent for the same reason either. Sure there was the usual schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, split personalities, anorexia, but then there were the even weirder ones like exhibitionism, Ganser syndrome, and kleptomania. The Damon name had such a long history of peculiarities, that when the name was heard no one even bothered to question the oddities that seemed to follow it.
His mother's side was a whole other story. They had a history of Divination, and being good at it. It wasn't unusual for one of the Delmont's children to know their future husbands and the names of their children long before they were anywhere close to marriage. This never stopped them from seemingly making mistakes through their lives, and doing things they never saw coming. Usually because they choose to ignore many of their own divinations, believing that a life without chance wasn't a life to live. Basically, when Danielle told her family she already knew who her husband was to be, they weren't very surprised. When they heard who it was though, that was another matter. Despite their tries to protect her from her fate, even forcibly marrying her to another man, she still ended up with Dmitri. They still had their twin boys, and they still lived happily together. Even though they were both weirdo's in their own rights.
Dex was born first of the twins. Oddly enough they weren't even born on the same day. Dex was born at 11:58 and Del was born at 12:01, but they are identical twins. His mother, using her divination, was able to see how Dex's life would come to be, and she wasn't very shocked. That was only because she was already so used to the absurdities of his father Dmitri. Basically, as a small child, Dex was odd. Coming from two very odd parents, this actually wasn't very shocking to everyone else. Dex and regular animals do not get along. He's been bit by every one he's ever met, which meant no pets at home. Even their mail owls continued to attack him after knowing him for years. They had to train them to come at certain times of the day so that he can hide in a closet or another windowless room to avoid them. There is also the speculation that he is colorblind because of his total lack of fashion sense. Del has told him multiple times that he believes that Dex does it just to torture him. Dex just doesn't see whats wrong with wearing three sets of stripes going in different directions.
Before being sent to Hogwarts, Dex and Del got into a major clothing fight. In which, after two weeks of no speaking, Dex gave up and allowed Del to tell him what he could wear to look presentable in school. Compared to his twins life though, Dex was normal. There was a point in his childhood where they actually tied Del to him to keep Del out of trouble. In the end though, it didn't end well. Dex was to soft on his brother, and they often landed in double the trouble. The brother's were still extremely close though, they held a bond that a lot of siblings didn't, and it stuck despite their weird differences.
During his first year of Hogwarts Dex was mocked. Most of the other students didn't think he was very fit to be part of Ravenclaw because his magical skill appeared to be very low. They also didn't believe that he was very smart because he was known for his fighting prowess. About the only thing they didn't mock him for was his flying ability. It was about the easiest magical thing he had ever been able to do, and he did it better than most. Life didn't change much for him until his third year though. Finally Dex grew to something close to his full height, making it so he was the one who looked down upon others instead of the other way around. About this time he also joined the Quidditch team, mostly because he beat up the sixth year Beater in a fist fight. Also, the reason behind his lack of magical ability was shown, one, he's a perfectionist, and two was his wand. The rigidity of his wand disagreed with his perfectionism making it take many long hours into the night for Dex to become perfect at spells. Once he did though, he was a force to be reckoned with.
Dex didn't get his pet kneazle until his fourth year. It was an early birthday present from his parents, sent by, his favorite animal, carrier owls. Now, usually when his parents send him mail, they send it to Del, who later gives it to him because he's hiding from the animals. He's afraid that all the owls will swarm and attack him. It was sent completely randomly from the regular mail time, so Dex got beat up by his own owl in order to get his own gift. His mom adopted the kneazle on one of her work trips and sent it to him, realizing it was about the only animal that would ever befriend him. It wasn't much fun for him going through the system to get it allowed, as his mother had neglected to tell him that he needed a license for one. Finally he got the proper papers and was allowed to keep Zard in the school. It was the most hectic three months of his life.
Considering his consistent Outstanding O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. scores throughout his years in Hogwarts, during his fifth year Dex was given the opportunity to try to become an animagi. However, given his pigheadedness, he often practiced the art much more often than he was supposed to, sometimes leading to strange results and indescribable illness. It wasn't until his sixth year that he was fully able to transform into his animal which happened to be a Eurasian Brown Bear. Given that Dex's patronus is a Dodo, he was greatly relieved to find that he was not forced to become one as it common with animagi. Other speculations, based on his personality, were that he would become a donkey or a goat. Now in his seventh year, he is fully capable of transforming by will. The bear stands at about seven feet eight inches tall and weighs more than 480 pounds. Although some bears may contain a reddish hue to their coats, Dexterity's is ridiculous, certain lighting causing the bear's fur to become an extreme orange. In a strange turn of events Dex forgot to tell Del of his new ability leading to a situation in which his bear form was named. Del accidentally ran into the bright orange bear, confusing the poor Dex whom roared in response. Del constituted this as being a "Hello my name is" and proceeded to call the bear Ruairí, as that is what the roar sounded like, and coincidentally the Irish meaning being Red King.
GREATEST FEAR ● Dex's boggart consists of... turtles. His irrational fear of them makes like difficult, and he gets laughed at whenever his boggart shifts into a Galapagos Tortoise. It's a demonic looking tortoise though, with its beady black eyes, and its saggy cheeks. It reminds him of an old man. An evil old man that looks like a tortoise, has no teeth, and only eats organic lettuce. Then, as terrifying as that is, the lettuce turns Del shaped, screaming in agony. Yes, then the giant tortoise is eating a life size lettuce head of Del. It's agonizing for Dex to watch it all, but hilarious for everyone in the room. The more they laugh, the angrier Dex gets, and the angrier Dex is the eviller the tortoise becomes. The tortoise becomes more and more dangerous and slowly de-evolves. Yes, it becomes a dinosaur, with teeth. Huge teeth. Then it tries to eat everyone in the room. If Dex was evil he'd just let the dinosaur do it, but he doesn't. Around that time it's no longer difficult for Dex to control because he likes dinosaurs and the lesson is dismissed.
DEEPEST DESIRE ● Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what is Dexterity's greatest desire of them all? If it isn't obvious, Dexterity is a bit paranoid about the insanity in his bloodline. Every little thing that happens to him seems to drag Dex further and further down the rabbit hole, even things out of his control. He then often proceeds to fret over his own paranoia dragging him further into the pit of despair. It doesn't help that his mother will not for any reason tell him what she saw when he was born, only smile softly and sadly, enough to make his heart shatter. Thus, when Dexterity looks into the Mirror of Erised what he sees is him being able to grow old, live a long happy life, preferably after a famous run as one of the most famous Quidditch beaters of all time, and then die happily, never having been sent to St. Mungos.
MISC. FACTS ● Patronus
Not only is Dex's boggart a fluke, so is his patronus. When you look at Dex you would picture his patronus to be something beautiful, and whimsical. Dangerous yet magnificent, at the very least be able to fly. That's not the case though, because Dex's patronus is, well, a Dodo. It's an extinct flightless bird. Sure, dinosaurs are extinct too, but at least they're cool to look at. The Dodo is just ugly, impossibly stupid, and has he mentioned it can't fly? There's nothing magical or mystical about it, all together it's pitiful with very few redeeming traits. Well, except that it can breathe magical patronus fire of awesomeness, as Dex calls it. Other than that, it's a pitiful, extinct, flightless bird.
Pet
Dex has a pet kneazle named Ryszard, nicknamed Zard. He was the runt of the litter and has the generic lion tail and lion's mane, which looks extremely strange on such a small animal. Unlike most kneazles which are extremely fluffy all around, Zard is mostly short haired, making the mane and tail look like they've been shaved by his crazy owner. Mostly he looks like a retarded miniature lion, and acts like one too. He's very narcissistic about his looks. His whole body is cream colored with light orange speckles, except for his mane, tail tuft, and the fluffy tips of his ears which are a brownish gray color. The intelligence of the kneazles did not skip over this cat, as he is known for his obscure methods of torture for those he does not like, but because he's only two and a half years old he's not very trustful of anyone except for Dex and he tends to spaz on all new people. He continuously attacks Del for no particular reason.
