Full Name: Orynn Novium Novim
Age: 29
Wand: 9 3/4 in. Made from Yew and Stardust.
Looks: Orynn stands at just under 6ft, and has short white hair. His hair color seems unnatural on a man who appears so young. He has a defined face and a strong jaw, and his eyes are gray, which contrast very eerily with his hair. His hair is usually styled to spike in the front and forward.
His shoulders are broad. He is very slim and has a swimmer's build. His skin is warm and a very neutral color, as in he is not pale, but he's very far from being tanned either.
Orynn's attire changes according to the occasion. He can normally be found sporting a fitted black long sleeved turtle neck, with some nice dark trousers which float away from his leg and reach the ground. He's always wearing black shoes. A part from that, there are different accessories which he adorns, but they seem to change every time he's seen.
Pet: A spotted Snow Owl, named Crescent.
Personality:
Orynn Novim is a very charismatic fellow. He is incredibly charming, and therefore easy to talk to, but Orynn will very rarely, if ever, go seeking conversation himself. If it were up to him, he'd be alone most of the day. He enjoys keeping to himself, which consequently allows him to maintain an air of mystery about him.
He is very driven in his work, and does all he can to deliver the best that he's capable of. He challenges his students, and those around him, not so much to see them fail, but to keep his own wits up to par at all times. Very rarely is Orynn ever caught off guard or surprised, and if he ever is he wouldn't hesitate at destroying the evidence.
Orynn can be very sly and manipulative with his words when he sees fit. He enjoys scheming, and is the type of man who plays big parts backstage, but is never seen by the audience.
History
Orynn was a student at Hogwarts. He was sorted into Slytherin, and was perhaps the brightest boy in his class. His grades however, did not reflect this. Orynn was a boy who enjoyed his social surrounding more than he did his studies. He reveled in how easily people could be persuaded to believe what he wanted, and how each person reacted to different emotional stresses. In his early years, this was his greatest past time, a course which was unfortunately never offered at Hogwarts. As the years went on, Orynn concentrated more and more on his studies (those actually being taught) and managed to pick up his grades a great deal.
His parents are both pure blood, but his mother is deceased. She died in a muggle related incident, something to do with a what they called a "DUI." His Father is abroad, an adventurer of sorts. Orynn also had an older sister who attended Durmstrang. Their relationship was rather... strained. However, being that they went to different schools they rarely saw one another anyways. His sister, Vicera, is now working as a Criminal Psychologist. She had previously made a living as a kind of Historian, with a specialty in weaponry used throughout the ages. Used by both wizards and muggles.
Orynn was never raised around muggles, but he bears them no remorseful amount of ill will. Orynn does, however, judge individuals too harshly sometimes. Once you portray weakness before his eyes, Orynn will never see you as anything else.
After Hogwarts, Orynn immediately began to take specialized courses abroad. He learned the art of Legilimens, and Occlumens, through very respectful means. He also progressed in his natural talent to transfigure himself into smoke, and travel great distances while in this state. This skill specifically frightened many of those close to Orynn, seeing as the last wizard to possess such a skill was Thomas Riddle, The deceased Dark Lord.
He spent many of his years after Hogwarts abroad, so a lot of what he did remains a mystery. He traveled Europe, Egypt, Russia, India, and many other fascinating locations. In the end, he wound up right back to the place he had called home for 7 years of his youth. Orynn first began teaching at Hogwarts as the Ancient Runes Professor. That was three years ago, and he is now the Headmistress's Deputy, and Professor of Transfiguration.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As mentioned before, Orynn does much better when he works 'backstage' on some grand plot. Nevertheless, he can hold his own when playing on the forefront. He is gifted at Transfiguration, Time Spells (and Charms), and is a skilled Occlumens and Legilimens.
Orynn is very quick and agile, but in a close-quarter duel with another wizard he runs out of options quickly. Orynn prefers to duel in wide open areas, where there is space to think, breathe and act. Orynn also has a very wide knowledge of Ancient Texts and Runes, but his worst subject by far is Potions. Not that he can't mix a perfect Polyjuice Potion, only that he can't be bothered.
