10th Year Heracles; DADA & Duelling

Main Information Name: Jareth Erik St. John Nickname: Wraith, Saint, the Spare Gender: Male Age: 24 Birthday: December 30th Year: 10th Blood: Muggle born Wand: 12” Holly wand, four dragon heartstring wand. Previous School: Barnardiston Hall Preparatory School, Olympus Academy (Zeus), London School of Economics (Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method) Major/s: Defence: DADA + Duelling, 5 Years Physical Description: Height: 6' (1.83 m) Weight: 180 lbs. Hair: Jareth has brown hair which borders more on dark than light and is especially dark when wet. He wears it longer in the middle and shorter at the sides – usually he spikes it up into a short Mohawk, otherwise it looks like a bit of a mess. Naturally it’s kind of curly so he has to be careful to keep up with cutting it short enough so it doesn’t have the chance to curl – but it always curls when wet. Eyes: Large and very intense blue eyes with tinges of green in them – darker around the pupil and surrounding the iris. Accent: English Ethnicity: Caucasian Other: Being very much an outdoors and active type of guy Jareth has a healthy tan to his skin so he’s not the usual pale Englishman. He also very sport orientated – muggle sports like soccer and magical ones like quidditch – so he’s very muscular, notably well built all over (legs from soccer and arms from being a beater). He has a very long face with high cheekbones which he wears covered by a dark five o’clock shadow. His nose is a little crocked from the time that he broke it with a soccer ball when he was twelve. Usually he has a smile on his face – large if he’s around someone he knows or small when he’s around strangers, a very kind looking person. Preppy is generally the way to describe how Jareth looks most of the time (despite his five o’clock shadow). He dresses casually in basic jeans most of the time with either work boots or sneakers of some sort, his favourite being white ones. He pairs it with either a shirt or a t-shirt and he wears sweaters all the time – he doesn’t mind being called preppy. Even though he’s muggle born he doesn’t mind wearing dress robes when he has to – though he hated wearing it every day at school. He doesn’t have any piercings but has a tattoo of a sea serpent on the left side of his hip. He also has a bunch of scars littering his body from various sport injuries – a few on his knee from a dislocated knee cap, a few cuts on his back from falling off his broomstick and a bunch of small scars littering his arms from years as a beater. Psychological Personality: Jareth is a little shy but very sweet and kind guy. He likes to work quietly and effectively without creating too much bother or attention to himself so he can sometimes blend into the background so people don’t always remember him. When meeting new people Jareth can be emotionally cool and people can think that he’s being apathetic or rude, but when he meets people he can be a bit suspicious of them and when he first meets people it is his way of displaying maturity and not jumping the gun. Once he gets closer to someone he feels more comfortable with them – he likes to know and understand what another person is really about. Around people that he knows well his small smile turns big and beaming and he will joke around and be more open. He can read people well and can see through most BS – though good manipulators have been known to trick him in the past. Jareth is a very hard working and determined guy – which is probably why he is so good with a wand now, he tried really hard to get into the wizarding world and find a place in it even though he was a muggle. If others get to know him they will understand that he is a very trustworthy, dependent, punctual individual that can always be counted on to fulfil their needs and help them if the occasion arises. He’s loyal to the core – though he prefers to make his loyalty known personally instead of becoming vocal and standing up for others. He doesn’t tolerate bullying of any kind – but he isn’t really the kind of person to step in when it’s happening and tell someone else to lay off unless he has some personal stake in it. Jareth is a gentleman to the core and believes in treating women well, helping them with whatever they need – he’s very down to earth and matter of fact, and usually the voice of reason in a group. He’s a great guy overall, very kind despite his reserve. History: Jareth was the middle child to the St. John’s with an older sister and a younger brother. His parents were both muggles so it was a big surprise when they found out that their daughter (and then later both their sons) was actually a witch (and wizards). They didn’t exactly embrace the magical side of their children’s life but they didn’t shunt against it either. The St. Johns were an upper (upper) middle class family – wealthy enough to go to really good private schools but definitely some of the poorer students within those schools. Jareth grew up the typical middle child – there were a few years between him and both his siblings so they were never really close but there was much less rivalry between them as well. The fact that they all had magic powers bound them together but their places were always very clear – Adrienne was the leader that the other two listened to, Heath was the trouble maker and Jareth was the one who kept them all down to earth and made sure that neither of the others got into too much trouble. The three of them all went to school together, starting with a private school as children (though it was a boarding school they lived at home). Even though the family business of the St. John Wineries wasn’t all that large – small when compared to other business of the families they went to school with but large enough to be a family business passed down through the generations. Unlike some families Gary never had any problem with passing it down to the eldest even if it was a girl – so Adrienne was the one being groomed to take over the business. Once he found out that he was a wizard when he was eleven Jareth totally gave up any ideas of working in the family business as he became enthralled with the wizarding world and let the family work to his sister and brother. His power developed when he was in his teens – at first he thought that he was telekinetic and that’s why he was accepted into Olympus Academy in the first place. Soon enough he realised that it only worked on metal objects – and the only ferrous metals and he realised then that he could create and manipulate magnetic fields. He discovered this at thirteen and since then has worked hard at developing it and making it a lot stronger than when he first started with it. At Olympus he was in Zeus house where he didn’t really stand out amongst all the other much more outspoken and extroverted people but with his quiet courage and strength it was definitely where he belonged. When he was in his fifth year he decided that he wanted to become an Auror and work for the ministry and the good side to fight against dark wizards. Defence Against the Dark Arts was without a doubt his best subject – and he loved using his wand instead of the epee (that he learned to use in primary school) and was very good at all sorts of wand work. His mother demanded that all of her children go to a muggle university (between the two parents she was the one more against the entire magic thing) so all of them did – after he graduated from Olympus he attended London School of Economics where he majored in Philosophy and Logic – he made a lot of friends here, ones that he had even gone to school with when he was much younger but he couldn’t tell any of them what he wanted to do because he couldn’t tell them he was a wizard. Choosing a university to study DADA at after graduating muggle uni wasn’t hard – he just went to the sister school of Olympus and chose to study Defence to get the best use out of his degree, wanting to work for the ministry after he graduates. Family: Gary St. John: father, 57, Owner of St. John Wineries Amanda St. John: mother, 58, Hairdresser Adrienne St. John: older sister, 29, witch, works in their father’s business and set to take it over Heath St. John: younger brother, 21, wizard, just finished attending University of London studying Computer Science Miscellaneous Pet: A small garden snake called Jane Knowledge/Talents: Jareth is very good at sports like soccer and quidditch. He’s also very good with his wand, an expert at duelling and can fence pretty well also. Special Ability: Magnetism manipulation – Jareth can create and manipulate magnetic fields. He can use his magnetic fields to lift, move, liquefy and otherwise alter objects composed of ferrous metals (he has no effect on non ferrous or non magnetic metals). He hasn’t ever tested his control over his ability but so far he has been able to move and manipulate objects which are hundreds of kilograms. The heaver the object is the less he can do to it – he can’t liquefy heavier objects (with more mass) and his movement and levitation is restricted. Notes: approved by Penn O'Connor |
