NAME: regulus arcturus black AGE: twenty-four OCCUPATION: unspeakable (?) HOUSE/SCHOOL: hogwarts / slytherin (seeker, 1974-79, prefect, 1976-78, head boy, 1978-1979) WAND: ash, dragon heartstring, 13”, reasonably supple flexibility BEST AREA OF MAGIC: defensive/protection spells, occlumency, knowledge of dark arts THE PART OF THEMSELVES THEY WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD: that question is a double-edged sword. he wants to keep up the façade to many but there is a pretty heady part of him that desperately wants to show the world that he doesn’t want to be part of the poison anymore. that he cares deeply for those who’ve made a mark on his life despite how reserved he can be. THE PART OF THEMSELVES THAT THEY WANT TO HIDE FROM THE WORLD: the fear, the anxiety, the horribly twisted and judgmental bits that he’s working on deconstructing. the need for approval that got him to where he is now. THEIR VIEWS ON BLOOD POLITICS/PURISM: have changed; not immediately and not overnight. but they have changed and i think his involvement in the order has been a big factor in this (in addition to the horrors he’s witnesses as a death eater). he never participated but he believed what he was told growing up and never asked questions in order to not cause a stir. THEIR VIEWS ON MAGICAL SUPREMACY OVERALL: he still thinks those with magical ability are superior to an extent. that might be the hardest prejudice he has to unpack. but along with blood purism, this has been changing and evolving since. THEIR VIEWS ON TECHNOMANCY: it’s a means to an end and it has proved to be incredibly useful; he’s picked up on it easily and is genuinely interested in the tech. CHARACTER PARALLELS: elphaba thropp (wicked), fitzwilliam darcy (pride & prejudice), matt murdock (daredevil)
