APPEARANCE
HAIR: Brown
EYES: Hazel
HEIGHT: 5'9"

DETAILED:
All you need is one look at Brandon to know what you'll be dealing with if you end up crossing paths with him. He holds his body with confidence and has enough to give almost everyone in the school some. He walks with his body straight and chest out and his facial features are almost stern and serious. Of course, he doesn't mean to look this way, that's just the sort of impression he gives off. He is very intimidating in appearance and usually only brave people step up to the plate and chat with him. He doesn't mind talking at all, but with him being shy and people being nervous, he doesn't have much going for him in the social world.
He stands at about 5'9 and weighs about 150 pounds. His eyes are a green and his hair is a darkened black. There is no certain style that he prefers his hair to be in. Being the lazy bum that he is, he really only wears it in it's natural form. No gels, no hairsprays or anything of that sort. He rolls out of bed, maybe tries to pat it down a bit or move it into a position he likes, and then is off. He thinks that people who use gel everyday or hairspray to get it the perfect way are just plain stupid. Why put in that extra bit of effort if your hair doesn't even look THAT much different anyway. Maybe they were seeing something he wasn't, he didn't know. He does use it for special occasions, but even that is stretching it. He wears contact lenses since he absolutely hates wearing his glasses. He'll wear them if he has too but very VERY rarely will you ever get to see that. His contacts are his life savers.
As far as his physique goes, he is a really fit and buff individual. He doesn't have muscles on muscles that look absolutely disgusting, however he does have visible signs of his hard work at the gym. He likes to be tough and the toughness he feels after coming from a workout is awesome. He feels sturdy and strong. Therefore, he's been working on getting a routine going to stay buff, tone his muscles, and make sure that he is as built as he can get without looking gross and monstrous.
The way he dresses and presents himself is nothing too unique as he is no different from many of the other boys you will see in the school. He doesn't like to stand out by wearing anything interesting or odd. He wears plain T-shirts and sweaters and shorts/pants depending on the weather. He doesn't have a favourite store or anything like that, so you probably won't be surprised with him walking down in shirts that don't have any brand names on them. It's not uncommon. He doesn't have any piercings and never would he ever get one. The only thing that he was thinking of getting was a tattoo but wouldn't know exactly what it should be and because of that, he hasn't gotten one yet and probably won't ever.
[/ul]
PERSONALITY
- Water:
[/li][li] Lurking:[/u] He's a really good sneak. If something doesn't seem right to him, he can find easy ways to sneak around and figure out what's actually going on. He can find things out about people that they don't want him to find out, easy. He can easily be somewhere spying on someone without them ever realizing.
[/li][li] Teeth:[/u] He finds teeth very interesting and that's one of the reason (well, the main reason) he wanted to persue an occupation in dental hygiene (before he came to Hogwarts). He finds it really fascinating how bones can grow out of your gums and be used to chew and grind and all that jazz. Most people think it's weird, but him...not so much.
[/li][li] Adventure:[/u] He LOVES adventure and loves getting himself into situations where he has to figure out ways out of them or do something exciting and new. Doing one new thing a day is something he aims for.
[/li][li]Meat and Food:[/u] Fruits and vegetables? YUK. Meat and more meat? YUM. He eats more than he probably should and doesn't mind at all. Food is one of his favourite things. He's always up for trying new dishes as well.
[/li][li]Personal Space:[/u] He is very territorial and does not like it when people get too close to him. He is usually shy but will have no problem telling you off if your getting too close. Continue coming close and it could get a bit physical. He needs his space and respects other people's.
[/li][li]Tanning:[/u] Brandon loves basking in the sun on really hot days and getting a nice tan. Not only does it feel nice but it is a good appearance enhancer as well.
[/li][li]Problem Solving:[/u] If things aren't going Brandon's way then he has no problem taking 2 minutes to think of a way to make it work. He's really good at thinking of ways around different situations to make it work in favour of him
[/li][li]Competition:[/u] Brandon is extremely competitive and loves competition. He doesn't like losing at all and he will have no problem going through drastic measures to make sure he's done all he can to ensure a win. He doesn't take losing very well at all.
[/li][li]The Quiet:[/u] He does his best thinking in silence or in the quiet and he hates loud and sudden noises. He works and functions better the quieter it is.
[/li][/ul]
DISLIKES:
- Winter:
[/li][li]Mobs of People:[/u] Alone is great, 1-4 people are ok, but more than 5 and he starts to get very territorial and very uncomfortable. He doesn't like being in the middle of a crowd at all.
[/li][li]Murky Water:[/u] Ok so yes, he does like swimming, but there''s something about murky water that he doesn't like. You never know what's crawling beneath you or swimming next to you and when you can't look down and see it, it creeps him out.
[/li][li]Boredum:[/u] When there's nothing to do, he HAS to find something to keep him occupied. He can't just sit around and do nothing. That's a huge no no for him.
[/li][li]Know-It-Alls:[/u] You do not know every single answer to every single question in the world so do NOT act like you do. You're a fake, and a complete moron for even trying.
[/li][li]Birds:[/u] Birds waking him up in the morning are so annoying and very frustrating. They poop from the sky and they squawk and quack and cluck and...ugh. He just doesn't like them.
[/li][li]Cheery People:[/u] You can't possibly be cheery ALL the time. It's impossible. If he finds people like this, he tries extra hard to get them upset. Seriously, who are you thinking your cheer will spread to people? Yes I may have a great smile, but I don't use it 24/7
[/li][li]Fruits/Vegetables:[/u] The absolute grossest thing that you could possibly eat. Yuk, they're disgusting.
[/li][li]Look Alikes:[/u] He hates it when people try to look like someone else. It's not cool. Be yourself, be original, and don't try and ruin the looks of the person your impersonating against. You're actually the biggest loser for trying to do that. If anyone ever tried to mock him then he would punch them flat in the nose.
[/li][li]Cleanliness:[/u] Brandon is a huge slob and doesn't really like things neat and tidy and in their rightful spots. He likes things messy and scattered. It might have to do with him being a bit lazy, but he just can't be on top of things to get everything clean all the time. He's just learned to love messiness.
[/li][/ul]
STRENGTHS:
- Determination:
[/li][li]Athletic:[/u] Not only is Brandon very agile and speedy, but he is all around a very good athlete. He hates to lose and his competitive edge has caused him to be the best he can be at almost any sport or event. He likes proving himself to be the one to watch out for in competitions.
[/li][li]Confidence:[/u] Some people might see it as "snobby" or "cocky" but no, it's just confidence. Brandon has so much of it that it helps him and hurts him depending on the situation.
[/li][li]Quick-Learner:[/u] If you throw something new at Brandon he can grasp the concept and repeat whatever it was back to you within little time.
[/li][li]Sneaking Around:[/u] He's a very good sneak and if he wants to get information or find out something about someone he can do it, usually without any knowledge that he was there.[/li][/ul]
WEAKNESSES:
- Eyesight:
[/li][li]Short Fuse:[/u] He speaks his mind and doesn't think twice before getting violent. He has a really bad temper and he can take one thing the wrong way for it to blow up into a huge ordeal.
[/li][li]Shyness:[/u] Even though it takes him only a little while with a person to overcome his shyness with them, he doesn't just go up to people, shake their hand and introduce himself. No, that's not him. He rather is timid when he doesn't know the person.
[/li][li]Overthinker:[/u] Sometimes, Brandon does such a good job thinking things through that he overthinks. When he overthinks he gets things wrong, does things wrong, or just looks stupid and he hates this. Too bad it happens more often than he would like.
[/li][li]Distraction[/u]: Brandon gets side-tracked and distracted very easily as a lot of things interest/annoy him. He catches little details and gets distracted with them easily.
[/li][/ul]
ERISED: To be great at everything he does and win awards for different things (from academics to sports).
BOGGART: Failure, and becoming a nobody. Not doing anything remarkable.
DEMENTOR: Having to abruptly leave everything he knew and loved at home to come to Hogwarts.
DETAILED:
The Athlete[/u]
Brandon is a great athlete. He has no preference when it comes to aquatic sports or land sports because either way he will give it his all, and in doing so he will have a great time. Not only is he extremely agile and quick, but he is really competitive. He hates to lose and absolutely can't stand it when he knows that someone has done better than him. He will go to great lengths to make sure that he wins even if that means, yes, cheating. He really doesn't care if he cheats and comes out on top. Why? If the other team doesn't know then it can't hurt them can it? He knows it's wrong and he really does try and stay away from it because he loves challenging himself. However, if it has to happen and things are NOT going his way at all, then you better believe that Brandon is going to do everything in his power to make sure that he comes out on top. It's actually gotten really bad. One time he "accidently" tripped someone while playing soccer when they were running full speed and broke their leg. Ok, so he didn't mean to break his leg, but he did want to injure him. He's working on getting this attitude under control though.
The Territorial Quality[/u]
So everyone has their personal space, correct? Obviously. Some people are really lenient when it comes to letting people burst the personal space bubble and come into their territory. Brandon will not allow it under any circumstances. He likes his space and will warn you if you're coming too close. Always. If you don't listen he will show you what it's like to come in his "bubble" and that person will usually get some sort of punch. He hates it when people don't listen to him and comes into his space and a bit of both can set him off. Plain and simple, listen when he warns. This attitude goes the same with his stuff. If his roommates touch his stuff, go near his stuff, or breathe the air around his stuff he will be pissed.
The Problem Solver[/u]
Looking at Brandon and knowing his personality, he usually gets the stereotype of being stupid because he's tough. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Brandon is in no way a genius, or even close, however Brandon does do well academically. He does enough to get himself in the high B's and low A's range which is what his minimum goal is. Since he wants to get into dentistry school, he needs good grades and he doesn't mind working hard for them. He does occasionally skip class, but doesn't do it enough to affect his marks. He is also really good at problem solving.He loves conflict and can figure his way out of almost anything.
The Loyal Friend[/u]
It takes a lot to get past some of the qualities that Brandon has and it takes a really special person to become a good friend. It's hard for people to get in the friend zone, however once there, they will stay there forever. He will fight for them and they will always be first on his list of people to please. He doesn't have too many close friends, however he does have some and he doesn't mind gatheing a bigger group of them. There are easy ways to please Brandon and a bunch of ways to get on his good side, and once the respect and bond has been made, it will most likely never go away.
The Loner[/u]
Brandon prefers to be alone or with one or two people than with a crowd. He finds the idea of being around too many people very intimidating (even for himself) and extremely frustrating. Too many people talking at once, too many things going on, too many faces and voices. He loves being by himself and if a couple people come to talk to him, that's totally cool with him. However, he is not one to go up to people and say "LIKE OMG HOW IS IT GOING! I'M BRANDON!" No. Definitely not. He will probably never in his life be the first to start the conversation unless he needs to. Sometimes, he will be so set on avoiding conversation that he might even move to a different location if there are too many people near him. It's not that he hates people, he just doesn't like too many of them at a time. It goes hand and hand with his shyness as well, since he is timid. Looking at him, you might not think it, but he is not as outgoing as you would think.
The Mind-Speaker:[/u]
People who know Brandon know that they have to be careful with what they say. Brandon is not afraid to speak his mind and his friends know this. Sometimes it works well for them if they need someone to be brutally honest about something, but other times it can suck when he says something they don't want to hear. He likes having friends and does have many, but he has lost a couple because of this quality. If someone is bothering him or has been warned to stop doing something and they continue, he has no problem throwing punches or blasting them. He feels that people need to respect his space and if they don't, he won't respect them at all. So yes, this does lead to some violence (whether verbally or physically). He tries to stay away from it as much as he can, but if you're bothering him, his fuse isn't long enough to take much of it.
The Sneak[/u]
Brandon is a very sly and sneaky individual. He can find ways to know stuff about you that you may not even know about yourself. He has been known to cure his curiosity by stalking, researching, and spying. He isn't a creeper or anything, but he will follow you around the day if he thinks that you are doing something that he's unsure of. He doesn't get caught (ok well with the exception of one time) and he is super careful to make sure that he can't be traced. He wants to work in dentistry, but people have told him to work in law enforcement since he would be an awesome detective.

HISTORY
MOTHER: Alana Thorne. 46. Mudblood.
FATHER: George Thorne. 53. Pureblood.
SIBLINGS: Meghan Thorne. Sister. 21. Half-Blood.
DETAILED:
The Thorne family. Now there's a very interesting bunch of people. Brandon grew up in a normal neighbourhood with a bunch of friendly people who become friends as the years went by. His neighbourhood was a great place to live for him. There were enough people his age to keep him entertained throughout the years. He never had a boring summer or a crappy winter as there would always be something to do and someone to do something with. His sister, Meghan, was three years older however they did many things together. They got along more than the normal brother and sister would and he viewed himself as lucky to have such a cool sister rather than a sister that was a snob, princess, or an annoying kiss up.
Brandon never really had any problems in school. He usually was given a "stupid" stereotype because he was seen as the tough kid however he has nerd qualities in him. He wouldn't sit down and study for long periods of time but he would still be able to do great on tests and exams. He was just that kind of person. Most people in school, however, either loved him or hated him. There was no in between with Brandon. Because he was such a great sneak and he was so good at finding little irks about people, not many enjoyed his company all the time. That mixed in with the fact that he always speaks his mind could make people very uncomfortable as he will flat out say something that everyone is thinking, but won't say.
He has made some very loyal friends however and those friends have stuck by him through thick and thin. Unfortunately, no friend could've helped him through what he experienced when he was 13. Brandon always knew that there was something different about his family. He knew that there was something just not right when his sister had to change schools at the age of 13 to one he had never heard of. He never got an explanation for it and was one of those things he just couldn't figure out. It drove him crazy. However, the answer did come.
His father and mother came into his room and gave him an envelope. Brandon remembered being very hesitant because his parents looks proud and worried all at the same time. He opened it up and read what it had to say. He was a wizard? What a joke! He didn't believe this at all. However after confirmation and some persuading from his parents, he knew that he was. This was just too crazy. His parents told him he had to pack his things as he was leaving for this school within the next couple of days. He was furious and refused to go, but after realizing there was nothing more he could do at this point, he was forced to get on the train and travel into the wizarding world.

CAKOOO CAKOOOO
The morning birds never were a favourite of Brandons. He never understood why those creatures thought it would be ok to burst out in song or noise as soon as the sun rose. Like, really? C'mon. Some people wanted to sleep and that was next to impossible with the annoying sounds of cooing and cawing from the scene outside his window. He put his pillow over his head and his head deep into his mattress. He wanted to zone out and fall back asleep so that the noise would go away and he could drift off again getting a couple more hours of sleep. He usually slept in more than he should and in all fairness he really shouldn't be sleeping until all hours of the afternoon, but he would need that sleep after a long night of partying, hanging out, or just chilling with friends....which was pretty much every night.
CAWWW CAWWWWW
"You've got to be kidding me, he said from underneath his pillow. He wasn't impressed with the amount of sleep he got nor was he impressed with the noise coming from the darn bird outside his window. If he came to wake up and piss off a gator shift than job well done. It was no use. He threw his pillow on the floor of his room and tore off his sheets. He stretched and rubbed his eyes hoping to wake up a little more and just start his day earlier than normal. He stood up and stretched to one side, then stretched to the other. He gave a loud yawn and then started his trek to find some clothes scattered on his floor. He tossed on a pair of jeans and a dark green t-shirt, grabbed his toothbrush and went to the washroom. He couldn't start his day without brushing his teeth and was disturbed when people told him they could. How could someone do that? It's so unsanitary and disguisting. Yes, he was bias considering he was aspiring to be a dentist, but seriously people need to realize how bad it is for them. Ah well, they'll be his patients someday.
He swished some water in his mouth and got rid of the excess toothpaste in it. He looked at his teeth in the mirror from all angles and nodded. He did a good job. He put his toothbrush away and sat on his bed. What to do? What do people normally do early? Eat breakfast? Nah, he wasn't hungry. Go for a swim or run? Nah he was too lazy right now. He decided to just wander and hopefully he would bump into someone or something to do and the day would get a little better.
He made his way out of the dormitories and started to walk across the school. It was a nice day, not too bad but still a little chilly. His inner animal loved it but he found it a little too brisk to do anything outside. He travelled into the school and started wandering the hallways. All he could see for a while were some empty classrooms. He peered into them all as he walked by but found no one or nothing interesting in any of them. He looked like a loner but he didn't really mind. He was used to it by now and honestly, he had learned not to care. Everyone's alone at some times and people who have way too many friends for their own good get lost in them all. It's too much sometimes. Not to say that he didn't have friends, but he wasn't a clingy friend and didn't have any himself. Why be stuck to someone day in and day out? He liked his alone time just as much as he liked hanging out with people.
-Cough
He heard a cough come from behind him. It must've come from one of the rooms. How did he miss someone? Did he forget to look into that? Might as well check it out, as if there's anything better to do right now. He walked backwards down the hall and ended up finding someone working away in one of the empty classrooms. Why on earth was someone doing work now? Are people really that into their work? He was a very good student and did his work but he didn't force himself or do any extra. What could he be working on in there? This person also looked very unique which intrigued Brandon. His hair flowed with many different colours and he had an interesting look on his face as he scribbled away. He wasn't sure when he would bump into someone else so he decided to just walk in and say hi.
He had to plan this out though. Did he really just want to walk in and say "Hey whatsup?" no definitely not. That's a little awkward. He thought maybe it would be better to act lost and ask for directions and then spark some kind of conversation from that. He wasn't sure how he would go about this but nevertheless, he opened the door and walked in. "Excuse me?" he said as the door shut behind him, "Do you know if the classrooms upstairs are locked or open?" Maybe this wasn't the best starting sentence ever but it was a question and probably not a bad way to start it off. As if he was going to do work though. He laughed in his head thinking about it, there was just no way. This guy probably could see right through him though but there was nothing he could do now anyway. [/ul][/size][/blockquote]
