KNIGHT FAMILY

[x][x][x][x][x] arrow Delphias Knight - Unknown Blood Status, Son of Zeleste

First, welcome to the guild! Second, there are some changes that need to be made to Delphias' profile. First, he needs a definitive age and birthday even if it's only the birth month and numbered day. Second, his background needs to be a bit longer. Maybe add in how he got his passion for wand making or where he and his mother are from originally. His personality could also use some expanding, or better just an explanation of how he's all those traits. Lastly, even though he might not have gone to Hogwarts he still requires his OWL's and NEWT scores which he could have gotten by getting tested at the Ministry of Magic. Once you've made these changes please change your subject line to "Edited" and it'll be checked over again. Thank you! ~❝Yukitty❞
Also, please keep in mind that NPC characters are not allowed to claim a More-Than-Average trait (animagus, legilimency) unless it is a genetic trait, (parseltongue, metamorphagus.) These traits are reserved for in-guild characters through formal requests. Thank you. Essy 6.10.15

Delphias Knight

_______________________________________________G E N E R A L


Gender: Male

Age: Rumored to be between 35 and 60 years old, but no one knows for sure. With smooth cheeks but thick worry lines around the eyes along with a knowing stare that comes with age, this young-looking and unconventionally handsome man seems beyond his years, skewing even the most practical guess.

Sexual orientation: Extremely reserved. Has halted the advances of many attractive witches, causing people to gossip and speculate. More likely is that he has trust issues, not allowing for close relationships in general.

Blood status: Unknown. Only known family member was his mother, a pure-blood witch who never revealed his father's identity. She was a practiced animagus with a raven form. She passed away at St Mungo's just before arrived in London, and he doesn't speak about the circumstances of his relationship with her very often.

Wand: 11-inch Hemlock with a raven feather core. He is rumored to have had it commissioned from his mother's animagus form. Others say he built the wand himself.

Currently works: Odd jobs

Dream job: Wandmaker

Delphias blew into the London wizarding scene with little context about his background other than that he was settling the affairs of his mother, who had passed away after many years at St Mungo's. His father is a mystery and remains uninvolved in his life.

He was unknown among those his age until his mother died due to the fact that he had not attended Hogwarts. Some people had picked up that he was largely self-taught and/or tutored in many wizarding subjects, and he was just as, and perhaps more so, proficient in many of them.

His real passion was wand-making, and Delphias sought to devote himself full time to the craft and study of wand lore. Now a wealthy man from the small fortune in his mother's Gringotts vault, he's looking to plant roots as an artisan in Diagon Alley.
