Full Name: Orion Benjamin Voltaire (Ryan)
Age: 18
Blood Line: Pure
Appearance:(a picture is acceptable)
Patronus A German Shepherd
Background: Ryan grew up in a generally bad neighborhood in Detriot, Michigan. He and his brother were with a pretty bad crowd, but the guys were his brothers. They all grew up together. Orion was into drugs-anything he could get his hands on for a fix, he robbed at least a dozen liquor stores before he was 13. He was in and out of juvie/jail for years. He and Aidan were pretty fcuked up, if I can be blunt.
For the first 4 years of Hogwarts, Ryan was like that. He snuck in everything he could and he and his brother would throw parties for anyone who wanted to come. They got caught once or twice but they figured out fast how, when and where they could without getting caught.
Every holiday, and some weekends, the twins went home to Detroit to 1)fcuk around and party and 2)restock for Hogwarts.
When Orion was 15, his closest friend (besides his brother) was killed. Murdered brutally is more correct. Some asshole didn't like what he was selling for and decided that if he just killed him, he could have everything on him for free. This is when Ryan started sobering up. He quit the drugs and the drinking, he even quit smoking for awhile (but he's started back up again). He tried to get Aidan to do the same, but his brother refused, said that that kind of thing didn't happen twice so why would he sober up?
Orion and Aidan aren't as close as they used to be now because of that, but they are brothers and they are still somewhat close. He does know his brother is having a kid with his girlfriends sister. Awkward situation right? Aidan had been dating Eva and Orion had never met Eva's twin. When he did, well things just sort of ... took off?
It's been a little more than two years since Orion has touched his drug of choice and more often than not lately, he thinks his brother might be right. He shouldn't have quit. Ryan's constantly debating with himself, wanting to use again. Angee won't let him. It's making a decent relationship turn into something that isn't so fun anymore.
Personality + Flaws: Orion is an easy going guy. He doesn't really get pissed unless it's at his brother. At least, he never used to. For the past two years. While he's using, his temper flares out of control. It's starting to get there again. He's unpredictable and oftentimes lashes out at completely inopportune moments. Like right before he's about to get laid. He regrets that immediately.
He's smart, though not really anymore than average. He's more street savvy than he is book smart and he knows more random shit than he does out of his textbooks.
While he should, Orion has no problem trusting people. After everything that happened, he really should. He should be leery, but he just ... isn't. He has no problem with going along with whatever's offered.
His drinking habits have picked back up lately which means that he's often checking out other girls--another problem between himself and Angee. He's starting to wonder what the fcuk is wrong with him--settling down and shit. He's always been a very big flirt.
All in all, he's not a bad guy. He's got a very big heart. However, anymore it's hard to tell.
Magical Abilities: None. He sucks.
Ambitions: He wants to graduate, get a job, make some money, and hopefully watch England kiss his fcuking ass goodbye. He can't stand the place.
