APPEARANCE
HAIR: Black
EYES: Dark brown
HEIGHT: 6'5''
WEIGHT: 200lbs
DETAILED: Aphelion stands at 6'5'', 200 pounds. He is thin and toned. His limbs are long and lanky, with a little bit of muscle to them. He doesn't exactly look like a body builder, though. Tall and imposing, he has dark hair that curls at the ends, often obscuring his vision. His skin is lightly tanned from his years out in the sun. He has an unamused, stoic countenance to him that he presents to most of the world.
He doesn't look very friendly at all! He has very dark brown eyes, so dark that you can hardly see his pupils. He rarely ever shows his emotions, save for displeasure. He doesn't look like a very happy person, most of the time. He walks with a sort of purposed gait, his legs long and powerful in their strides. He exudes confidence, with a hint of viciousness. He moves like a predator, stalking through the woods.
Most of the clothes he chooses to wear outside of his school uniform are fairly simple. He is found mostly in black clothes, or at least very dark clothes. Dark slacks, shirt, and hiking boots are what he wears most often. Oddly enough, he prefers to go barefoot in his spare time. He has various scars all over his upper body, and he has a couple of scars on his hands. His face remains unblemished, save for the scowl that is seemingly ever-present on his face.

DETAILED:
Aphelion is disillusioned by humanity. There isn't any good in a one of them. Children, perhaps, but inevitably they are corrupted by their parents or by their society. He believes humans to be something of a blight on the earth, a cancer or a virus destroying everything if left unchecked, which they currently are -- even the wizarding community. He is distrusting and somewhat paranoid, neurotic even when it comes to dealing with people. He tends to shy away from civilization or even the hint of human contact outside of those within his tribe.
Emotionally, he is something of a sociopath. Not much rouses him, positively or negatively. The only thing he really feels is a thirst for blood, but even then that is not angry or vengeful. It's almost as if he himself is only an animal, seeking out destruction to sate some sort of primal hunger. So far, at least. There are times, short moments where he has some shred of humanity, but afterward it's as if it never happened. He will have no recollection of it, either. He is living forever in the present. He has no past, and no future. Only now.

HISTORY
MOTHER: Bansari; Cherokee; Mildly magical
FATHER: Ashrin; Cherokee; Mildly magical
SIBLINGS: None
DETAILED:
Aphelion Katuah was born in Elkhorn, Tennessee on what was essentially a Cherokee reservation turned into a mountain town. They lived in the smokies, out in the woods in modest houses, hunting game and growing crops and occasionally going to town for things they needed. He had schooling, but he hated it. Not that he hated learning, he just couldn't relate to any of the other kids there.
Elkhorn was a bit of a ghost town, at least to Muggles. For the tribes, and wizards who lived in the area, it was a wonderful place to live. Private, locked away in the smokies, with no strangers passing through. It was perfect. He had a pretty normal childhood, considering his roots. There were always tribal festivals, and learning about the ancestors and the Great Spirit and all of that. He learned how to hunt and skin and track alongside his math and science.
He was quite close to his mother, but not so much to his father, who was an alcoholic. He often beat his mother, and Aphel grew to hate the man. He did not attend his father's funeral when he died, instead choosing to go on a hunt. He was far sadder when his grandmother, Ghostwish, died several years ago. However, the hardest blow has come very recently. His mother passed away fighting breast cancer. Lucky for her, it was quite quick and she did not have much time to suffer.
With the death of his mother, and still being underage, he has fallen under the custody of his aunt Kareina and her non-Cherokee husband. He has no resentment toward the two, that he can think of, but he may soon. They have sent a letter to the Ministry of Magic and had some strings pulled -- he's going to be sorted at Hogwarts! It would be good for him to learn how to actually use and wield the inherit magical ability that his family has, and besides, he needed to socialize more. Unfortunately, he does not feel the same way. Hogwarts is the last place he wants to be.
