Hello friends! Callie again, but this time with a BOY. :) I'm late on the intro train because I took an impromptu trip to Asbury Park, NJ for a zombie walk. Many apologies! <3

This lovely young man is Ryan Hertz. He's an Azurcrest senior, and I'm going to go ahead and quote his concept first because it's important and probably the best way to sum him up I could ever do. "Enigmatic doom cookie keeps himself hidden under a bad boy image." Yeah. Let that sink in first as we move onto the bullet points lol

-Born in Versailles, France but moved to Dorchester, MA when he was 7. (Yes, he speaks French!)
-Halfblood. Mom was the witch who abandoned him to his muggle father when he was born. His father was a strict man, but things didn't get bad until the magic appeared. That's when the verbal/emotional abuse turned physical (and into creative/archaic punishments) to "drive the evil out"
-Ryan went from a charming and engaging child to a wary and guarded one who believed there was some curse on him that he was being punished for and that everyone would eventually leave him because of (cheery, right?)
-His only saving grace came in the form of Chris Park's mom, who treated him as her own and tried to make up for his shit father.
-He expects the worst first, and is always secretly expecting people will turn away or betray him even as he's putting on a good front
-After finding out his mother is in Azkaban for being in league with the Dark Lord, he decided it was his mission to be nothing like her
-He is naturally charming and engaging, with a laid back live and let live mentality and adventurist/individualist spirit, at his core. He also just firmly believes he doesn't deserve any happiness
-Generally presents as an enigmatic bad boy persona rather than his awkward and guardedly pessimistic nature. Lots of arrogance, snark, and dry wit.
-He hides these feelings because he doesn't want to be anything like what his father thinks he is or his mother is, but he also kind of wishes he could really be like that
-Tends to be extreme in his moods, and can be quite frustrating at times. No real "middle ground" where he's concerned.
-CLASSES: History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, DADA, Occulmency
-EXTRACURRICULARS: Duelling/Fencing, Gaming

Full bio is here. He needs ALL THE THINGS. Friends (besides his bestie Chris), exes (though he pushes people away when they get too close, except Chris), enemies, people he clashes with, ANYTHING. Help him grow and get over his sad sucky history please!!! <3 <3

Katya is Katya, she's a year below him but like that really seems to matter. She's doing a bunch of those classes but...a year below.

Ferris is just going to ignore him for the most part but that's just how she does. I'm sorry :(

But Trixie! Senior and Gaming. Also she's pretty much an annoying little ball of crazy plus she and Chris are going to take over the world so clearly he must know of her evil plans.

oh man :D

he has connections w both of mine!

zoey's in a couple of classes with him. i always feel kinda awkward w her in intro posts cos no matter what it's like "she's pretty chill she'd probably tolerate this character" but it's always truuue. :u she wouldn't be much phased by the persona ryan puts on, probably, unless he were overly snarky at someone she cares about. ♥ maybe they'd kinda get alongish!

laurel's ummm A SENIOR AZURCREST and also in a handful of classes with him. c: her sense of humor&straightforwardness might make them kinda friends? -- maybe either a) they get along as much as he could get along, or b) they alternate between clashing/getting along. maybe both. idk. i guess we'll seeee. also theyre in gaming together! c:

Oh so chris's mom is his ONLY saving grace, fuck Chris tho I SEE HOW IT IS

HELLO BEAUTIFUL BAD BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE HE PROBABLY HAS TATTOOS AND OWNS A MOTORCYCLE. 😍

Okay I need to come back later for a more thougthful response, whoops.

Ursula does gaming with him and Essie is in duelling/fencing with him.

azu seniors unite! Quinn's been in his year for years. obvs. She may have little time for him at the bottom of his mood swings (good god woman, work on your bedside manner!!!) but if she's all about hanging out, she will def try to hand out with Ryan when it can happen. She also dated Chris for a bit last year and she's still friends with him, so I figure Ryan and Quinn are in the same space enough that maybe she's also used to him — and fine with it as long as he doesn't try to pull her in with him in a doom-spiral! Maybe they are friends but will also not talk to each other for a bit because Quinn walked away when she Just Doesn't Have Time For This, but then they pick up the next week like it never happened?

Kurt doesn't have much to do with Ryan. This is probably for the best. He would be very confused.

wowie look at his face.

obvy ree wants to be buddies, etc.

Isaiah...idk may be crushing a little from afar, may also not be.

Gabi thinks he needs a hug.

Yaaaaay!

Will can empathise with having complications about one's parents.

Tabitha will be friendly!

Dom is in duelling/fencing with him. He'll be cool.

Hello again, Callie.

So I have Anuhea who is a senior with him and in a few of the same classes. Not sure how they will get on really. But then I never really know how Anuhea will get on with people.

Charlotte is a sophomore Coppertale and a bit of a bossy mean girl prefect but she is in duelling and fencing so might cross paths there sometimes maybe? I doubt he will like her too much.

Sooo, his relationship with Diego depends on whether or not Ryan finds him horribly annoying, or haplessly charming. If Ryan likes him, Diego is a warm and giving friend who will be very sensitive to Ryan's darker moods, but he's also a flake who breaks promises and oversteps boundaries. If he doesn't like him, they've lived together for so long Diego has probably reached the friendly passive aggression phase of his "I refuse to accept I can't get along with everyone" thing.

Reid and Ryan probably don't talk a ton? NOT THAT REID TALKS MUCH IN GENERAL. But he and Chris do like one another, so Reid will certainly be cool with Ryan.

Calvin's a baby Ribbonfin, and will know Ryan only really from Duelling/Fencing. He will eye roll at the bad boy thing because he's a snobby brat who always thinks the worst of people he doesn't know well, but he'll like Ryan more when he's being genuine. Calvin also has a family member or two in Azkaban for You-Know-Who related crimes, but that's Something You Never Talk About.

Hurrah for senior Azurcrests! Henrietta gets along with most (if not all) of her housemates so she'll be friendly with Ryan. And if you want them to be ~extra friendly~ then I'm up for them being exes or random makeout buddies. She'll just be like "lol okay w/e" at his moods and shrug them off without getting offended.

As for Pippa, I don't think there's much overlap between them but Essie is showing Pippa all the cute boys at this school, so she may giggle and blush when she next sees him~

Hiiii and YAY AZURCRESTS ALL OF THEM. He sounds kind of like the type of person Addy would adopt which mostly means she would check in from time to time to make sure he's doing okay/ is happy. So hopefully that will be fine...

A BOY? WHAT? But yay for another new Azurcrest character! :) Also, I kinda love his hair.

That said! Cecil and Ryan don't have much overlap apart from being housemates, but Cecil will still be friendly toward him and try to take care of him in the same way he does for all the Azurcrests. Try to cheer him up when he seems more down than usual, be available if he needs help with anything, provide encouragement and baked goods, you know, all that stuff. And the snark probably rolls off of him pretty easily, so long as Ryan doesn't cross the line into being antagonistic or anything. Sooo, however he's handled that for the last four years!

Casper is in Dueling with Ryan and probably likes him just fine, since they're cut from a similar 'I'm sarcastic and a bit prickly because I'm unhappy' cloth. He may also have some interest in him just because he's in Occlumency and that shit is hard and HELP. But in a more subtle way. ;)

Levi likes all Azurcrest by default and he will love and protect his roommates, always. He's energetic and loud and overly friendly (basically a dog ok) and he has a knack for getting into trouble and makes a game out of seeing how much he can get away with. It's common knowledge he's involved in a weird little on-off FWB thing with Ryan's BFF Chris and sometimes Ryan will find Chris's cat just chillin in their cabin with Levi because he ~~steals~~ babysits her.

Maggie

fensterln is the Headgirl and a Senior Ebonhide. She has all his classes with him except HoM, and they're in Duelling club together! Her mama is a well-known politician in Canada's MoM and it's not a secret that she is a Travers and Maggie is related to at least one publicly known Death Eater. So that might be something??

Holden grew up in Dorchester! He's seriously wondering if there's something in the water there. He honestly would not be surprised. Ryan might recognize his accent, because it hits you like a ton of Wahlbergs. OH and he went to muggle school with Chris! He probably recognized him all O_O sup when they got to school together. But he's a shy doormat so that's probably all they've got going.

Ryan might recognize Sylla's last name as dark arts related and legacy-linked, not that she ever really talks about it, because ugh how gauche. Yeah she has some dead/imprisoned Rosiers and Selwyns back in the old family tree if he digs hard enough, but why talk about that when she can be enigmatic and questionable as well! She's in dueling with him, and generally creeps around the rest of the time.

And then there's this boy Wes! Coppertale Senior, Cajun AF, Potions talent and destined to be a faith healer some day (soon he hopes, but lbr, that ain't in the cards). He's an open book and his personal image he projects is sweet as Louisiana pecan pie, with unbelievable cocky swaggery a la mode. omg honey find yo chill that bad boy thang ain't cute~ He'll try to cheer him up, because that's generally his role in Coppertale, anyway, and it generally radiates outward also :P
