--IC--
Character Name: Raleigh Colburn
Nickname(s): Lee
Age: 47
Former House: Gryffindor
Blood: Half-blood
Sexual Orientation: Straight


Physical Description: Raleigh is beginning to show the signs of age; sagging skin around the eyes, hollowing out cheeks. His eyes remain lively, though, an ice blue with a spark of life in them. His lips are thin, and his face rather long and square shaped.


His hair is shaggy, routinely cut, and a sort of honey brown. It often appears as if he has just gotten out of bed; probably because he really has only just woken up. Rarely does he shave, and he frequently has a dark shadow on the lower half of his face. Never does he let it grow so much that he has an actual beard of mustache, though.


Stature wise, Raleigh is fairly tall and lean. Though he has a hint of muscle, it is frequently hidden beneath his robes.


Brief History: Raleigh was born into a typical wizarding family. Muggle-born mother, pure-blood father, two older siblings. He would be the final Colburn child, and was happy with this fact. Lee was the poster child for the spoiled younger sibling, and grew up always getting his way.


Upon his entrance into Hogwarts, he found the Sorting Hat having trouble with his placement. Obviously wise, yes, a true Ravenclaw. But something made him different from the others... His persona also called Slytherin. No Hufflepuff, that was certain. Finally, the Hat decided on Gryffindor; not only was Lee intelligent and rather snide, but he was also stupidly brave.


Years at Hogwarts involved being the best at all of his classes, and being a total ass when he wasn't the best. He left and became Assistant to the Minister of Magic, until the Minister at the time announced he was tired of putting up with the boy's crap and promptly fired him. Lee found a position at Gringotts, eventually, but knew that it wasn't what he wanted.


Personality: Lee is a politic through and through; and not in the common ways of compromise, either. He is experienced at fighting until his battle is won, and only his. Not only that, but he is particularly ruthless, and one can never know for sure whether they have his friendship.


Often does Lee offend, and while this is intentional, he is actually only testing. Occasionally he is bested, and at these times, the negative side of Lee begins to show itself; he throws small temper tantrums, and refuses to admit his being beaten in a way that is reminiscent of a young boy's.


Strengths:
  • He is experience at getting his way.
    Some people think his spoiled sense of humor is amusing
    Lee has the ability to detach from feeling anything psychologically


Weaknesses:
  • Obviously, he insults people rather easily
    He gets migraines easily
    Upon getting these migraines, his mood turns lethal, and he has to sleep it off in a very dark, quiet room.
    He's extremely stubborn


Likes:
  • Silence
    Rainy days
    Small, hinting smells. Nothing too overpowering.
    People who seem to be opposed to him; he thinks of it as a game, trying to earn their respect
    The feeling of being dominant


Dislikes
  • Loud, obnoxius noises
    The sound of laughter
    Bright lights
    People who are naive or kind; Lee is convinced they are boring and not worth his time
    Secrets
    Surprises
    Being inferior


Role Play Sample: His quill scratched against the parchment, and he could hear the occasional grumble of a fellow employee or goblin. Raleigh continued to write, though, ignoring the noise. Well, not write. He sat back for a moment to admire his handywork.


A maze of lines and scribbles, intricately placed so they created a wonderful work of art. Some poeple called this doodling. But doodling was only done when you had nothing to do. And Raleigh did have something to do.


He just wasn't doing it.


Someone knocked on the door, and Lee scowled, glaring at the door to his office. "Go away. I'm busy," he snapped, leanining over his artwork once more. Perhaps he could attempt to sketch a hippogriff right--


"Someone to see you, Mr. Colburn," came the voice of a goblin.


Looking up from the piece of parchment, Raleigh stared at the door as if it had done something to offend him. "I'm busy regardless," he said, looking back to the drawings to attempt the hippogriff once more.


"Someone important," declared the goblin once more. "A Mr. Selwynn. He's here to talk to you about--"


Raleigh paused thoughtfully. "Just how important?" he asked, a hint of greed in his voice.


How did you find out about this site? I'm Acacia, Victoire, and Kathleen.

Any other requests? I'll be applying for Minister of Magic soon enough.
