introducing amycus carrow !
You play with me, you're playing with fire.. I'm a match, she's kerosene. You know she's gonna burn down everything
DOB β 31st october, 1953 (and five minutes before Alecto, yes, it matters)
BLOOD STATUS β Pureblood
AFFILIATION β Death Eaters
RELATIONSHIP STATUS β Single
ANTI-SHIPS β No chemistry, Forced
HEIGHT βΒ 6 foot, 0 inches
HAIR COLOUR β Dark Brown
HAIR STYLE β Generally kept short - roughly long enough to put fingers through,Β
SCARS / DISTINGUISHING FEATURES β Amycus has plenty of small scars and larger ones sprinkled across his body, ranging from barely visible to thick and raised, many from being stabbed, and more than he wishes to count from the hands of his father, plus, battle scars to boot. Distinguishing features include the Dark Mark, which is kept covered always, and a smattering of burn scars on his right forearm he doesnβt discuss.
CLOTHING STYLE β His style suits his mood, always, so it changes from day to day sometimes, amycus being the mercurial man that he is. He can be seen in denims and fitted tees just as frequently as in a suit. He likes to spend money, and heβs very particular about his wardrobe, so everything inside of it is tailored to fit him perfectlyΒ - he occasionally has a tendency to go on shopping sprees while drunk and bored, leading, inevitably, to amycus staring at himself in a mirror for hours as seamstresses fuss themselves over measurements.Β

EXTRACURRICULARS β Dueling club, slug club, Quidditch (he was a beater)Β Β
WAND β 10 inches, dogwood wood, doxy wings core. The wood used to make the wand is strong, and once, was commonly used for daggers, lending itself to a violent streak, which, paired with the doxy wings promises terrible, powerful, temperamental things, erfect for a stubborn, mercurial slytherin. .
PATRONUS β Amycus cannot, and will not, ever be able to produce a patronus, and has no interest in finding out what it might be, when he has a real life tiger - which is better.
BOGGART β Amycusβ boggart is a heavy hitter, and the amount he suffers from it depends on entirely how long it takes him to banish it. It begins with him looking in the mirror to find his fatherβs face looking back at him, then as he stares att he mirror, he begins to realize itβs not his father at all - itβs himself, and beyond his shoulder, in the mirror, he can see his sister on the floor, dead, crumpled under the weight of his wrath and bitterness. Heβs never made it past this stage, and neither knows, nor wishes to, how it ends.Β
AMORTENTIA β In the presence of Amortentia, Amycus smells: wet sand at low tide as you dig your toes into it, the comforting and familiar scent of alectoβs perfume, 80 year old whiskey, leather, fresh cut grass on a sunny day, the soft scent of sweat as it meets cool air, the toxic chemical smell from burning pictures, letters, and paintings, and a soft - barely there, really- hint of the way his sheets smell after sex .
MIRROR OF ERISED β If Amycus were to stumble upon the Mirror of Erised, would see himself as he feels he is meant to be - side by side with Alecto, with nothing and no one between them or to hold them back from anything. They are free, and Caesar has no collar on.Β
PARENTS β Alcaeus and Who-The-Fuck-Cares Carrow (heβs v bitter about his mother being... well, herself)
SIBLINGS: β Alecto Carrow, his twin
PETS β Caesar, a 4 year old and fully grown (and incredibly well trained) Siberian Tiger, gifted to Amycus by himself on the occasion of his and Alectoβs 21st birthday, because he hadnβt done enough to piss off their father that year.Β
FAMILY DYNAMIC β Amycus is so beyond close to Alecto that he doesnβt really have the words to describe what she means to him (in a way that would satisfy him, that is) but that is the extent of all love he holds for the members of their family. The twins have always stuck close to each otherβs sides, workingΒ together to make it through one day at a time. Their father, Alcaeus, is, was, and will ever be, an intolerably cruel and impatient man, and their mother, who Amycus is so bitter towards he claims her name isnβt important enough to remember - even though he spends at least one full day a month sequestered in his room writing furiously back and forth with her, boys, go figure- is primarily absent. Weak, fragile, and flighty, Amycus gets a lot of bad habits from her - the flightiness above all, and she never has spent much time with her twin children, anyways. Even now, Alcaeus is too hard a man for the woman he married, the woman drunk and checked out of life most times heβs actually had to spend time with her. Alcaeus, however, was always around, and still is, and is without doubt, the one person Amycus hates most in the world.
LIKES β spending money, laughing, partying, making messes, creating chaos, nachos, setting things on fire, throwing hands, taking his tiger to places he shouldnβt to scare people, knives, lying, coming home drunk at 3 am and making pancakes
DISLIKES β waiting (for anything), being toldΒ βnoβ, cauliflower, catching alecto in his favorite leather jacket after heβs been looking for it for 3 hours and she swore she didnβt have it and wonβt give it back, waiting (he really hates that), being lied to
FEARS β becoming his father, having to live life without Alecto
STRENGTHS β charming, intuitive, affable, excels in nonverbal and wandless magics, athletic, bold,Β
WEAKNESSES β violent, mercurial, manipulative, finicky, will look you directly in the eye and lie to you without so much as a drop of guilt- or needing a reason (thatβs not really a weakness for him, per se, but it is negative so iβll put it there yolo)
ASTROLOGICAL SIGN β scorpio
MYERS BRIGGS TYPE β estp-a
