Birth Name: Raphael Day
Nickname: Raph
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birth date: December 12th
Personality: Raphael likes to keep to himself mostly. He tends to act as a loner even though he really isn't, nor is he capable of being one. He enjoys being around other people and hanging out with friends. While he smiles and laughs, it's usually behind a darker exterior.
He gets worked up easily, mostly keeping his temper and urges under control. If someone is attacking a friend or one of his beliefs, he's not afraid to stand up and attack back. He's usually calm unless he has reason to get upset. He is a hopeless romantic and has been accused multiple times of using suck up lines. As well, Raphael is a brilliant spell caster due to his uncle's teachings.
Appearance:
After dissapearing from Hogwarts suddenly in his 6th year, Raphael underwent a huge change in how he looked. He went from the scraggly, back off, i-don't-care, person to a happier exterior. He also has blond hair now. His athleticly muscled build is still present, if not even more toned from his experiences away from Hogwarts.
History: Raph was born of witch (Xyin) and a muggle (Rayku), and had an older brother (Arius) of 2 years. Life was going smoothly until Raphael reached the age of 12, his brother 14. Arius was a muggle and had always held a jealous spot for Raph. One night when their parents were out, Arius attacked Raphael. They were on the upstairs loft and in the fight that followed, Arius lost his balance and was thrown into the railing. It cracked and fell, Arius following with it, crashing to the tile floor.
Raphael just sat there, looking over the edge of the loft for hours until his parents came home. As soon as they saw Arius, lying in his own blood, the screams began. Raph ran to his room, slamming it behind him as the tears finally began to fall. He screamed, clenching his hands to his ears as his mother's screams of "WHAT DID YOU DO, RAPHAEL!?" rang through his head. It wasn't until the next day when his parents came up to his room to comfort him.
Raphael has tried to move on but it's hard when the death of your brother is on your hands, accidental or not. His parents have never forgiven him, but he has gone farther than caring. Instead he just makes due in life, learning to try and get over things and being a happy normal wizard.
The best way Raphael learned how to get over it was to leave. His parents didn't want him around anymore so what was the point in staying? He found himself at his Uncle Ebbet's house. Ebbet was a renound spell caster and creator, credited to no public spells. Meaning, the spells he made and used were to be used by only himself (and the select few he taught). He took Raphael in, as he was a relative, but also as a student, teaching him the best ways to create and manage spells and spell work.
Upon learning what he would, and being anxious for the outside world, Raphael transfered to Hogwarts as a 6th year student (his knowledge of spells coming in handy when figuring out where to place him). He met a few people in the half a term that he was there, including a special girl he quickly fell for.
An owl had come late in the night with only two words written on it: Help. -Ebbet. Raphael, realizing something was wrong, quickly left before even being able to say goodbye to those he cared for. He flew by broom stick to his Uncle's home, a nice place with a large expanse of woods and lake behind the home. Something wasn't right as he arrived and upon entering the house (through a smoldering door) he quickly realized he was right. Raphael ran through the house, quietly searching in case someone was still there. He found his uncle in his workshop in the basement, two cloaked men with wands drawn demanding something from him. By this time it was morning.
Raphael watched and listened, his wand at the ready. He picked up something about a "spell" and "or else". His uncle still refused to give in to their demands. One of the men, his anger flaring, raised his wand and began the Torture Curse. Raphael had the element of surprise and quickly disarmed him, jumping down the last few steps into the basement and firing of a fireball (one of his favorite custom spells).
Details of Raphael's life here grow foggy. He returned to Hogwarts however, his hair now blond and his attitude changed. No one truely knows what happened in the basement, except for him and his Uncle. It is known that he now possesses his Uncle's journal as well as his spell book. It is assumed Ebbet is dead.
