âKIAN GREYBACK.
seventeen. werewolf. death eater. he/him.
you convinced yourself that this was necessary, this darkness. that it was the only way to survive, to grow stronger than those that hurt you. it consumed your mind, your heart, your soul. you let that POWER in, let it run in your every vein, let it make your eyes as black as night. but darling, don't lie to me. don't tell me you didn't enjoy the fear in their eyes.
where: death eatersâ general meeting (where the main lot just found out abt lily)
when: sunday, february 25th
who: open to student de
Genie was thriving. Sheâd been tickled pink about the whole thingâ-what an excellent plan of Gemmaâs, honestly, but who was surprised?â-and had greatly enjoyed being able to cause havoc and run interference last night against those headless chickens that called themselves MA membersâ-honestly, Genie thought scornfully, McGonagall had been a senile old bat but even she knew how to run an organisation better than these righteous walking temper tantrumsâ-but she was especially interested in this particular moment: now that the whole group had been informed, Genieâs eyes were roving the amassed crowd, scanning for reactions. Enthusiasm, weakness, discomfortâ-anything, because as Wes had always taught her, every little thing you caught was another thing to be able to use and weaponise.
âSo,â she said casually, sidling up to someone and flicking two fingers at the person nearest them to scatter so Genie could take their spot, âWho do you thinkâs going to burst into tears first? My betâs on the halfbreedâ-either, really, theyâre practically interchangeable at this point, so desperate, poor thingsâ-though I guess itâs not really their fault that they canât control their impulses, what with them being less⊠civilised than us.â
Kian spent most of his time in meetings watching others. How people acted when theyâd won. How they acted when they lost. It was all important-- even if they were all on the same side. Know your allies like you know your enemies that is how you survive. However, the âmean girlsâ where on another level. When you thought you knew them, theyâd surprise you. Interesting but particularly annoying to Kian. His gaze met Genieâs and for some reason she picked him as a target-- because what else would she approach him for?.
âYou know, Genie,â He laughed, leaning back into the couch arms spread out on the top of it, âno one really cares of people cry or not. But Iâll bite-- I bet itâs the blonde one. Or is it the black haired one...or you know, this desperate thing right here. Halfbreeds and all. Uncivilized bunch we are.â With a shake of his head, Kian let out an exasperated sigh. âI might break down into tears right now because you are being just so mean to me...â
â yeah, yeah, mcsomethinâ went swoop and oânieorilley-oh did a romenia pass. all rather interesting, go blue, â theodore approached with little regard for the ongoing conversation - quidditch, quidditch, quidditch. that was all these people seemed to talk about. how dull, how typical. heâd cared for quidditch for aproximately ten minutes when he tried and failed to get into the team and thus, it was no longer a valid topic. â but what the FUCK are we listening to and whoâs in charge of this ? whose granny brought this ? did mcgonagall come back from the dead and pick the soundtrack ? â half of the drink on his cup overflowed with his movement as he swayed around to the self-declared audible disaster.Â
âyou were real cute up in the stands too, oâmcburkey. real impressive that english move âsitting on your assâ was. so natural.â He wasnât too annoyed by the interruption, mostly amused at theodoreâs annoyance. With a gentle ease, he plucked the cup from the boyâs hand to save what was left of his drink. âwhat music? I canât hear it over your complainâ. here--â kian patted the spot next to him. âwhy donât you take a load off and chill the fuck out, my guy? what do you say? iâll even tell you how to swing a beaterâs bat if you are nice.â
To put it bluntly, Kian has no idea and probably has no way of finding out. His answer would simply be âFenrir Greybackâ because that is the only âparentâ heâs ever known. However, unknown to him, his parents names are Kian and Dhara Gallagher.
kiwi: what's something that fascinates you?
Kian is very fascinated with the motives of everyone during this âwhole war thingâ. Where one side believes that they are in the right and fight for âfamilyâ or âthe greater goodâ and the opposite side says they are doing the same thing. He just finds it really interesting when people decide to fight wars for something other than selfish means or survival -- or those who, alternatively, donât fight at all. ( How very Ravenclaw of him tbh. )
raspberry: favorite flower?
Tropical flowers. He wears enough of them to claim them as his favorite. Especially pink Frangipani flowers. Not that they grow locally without magic but heâs smart enough to make it happen if he wanted to.
peach: do you have any piercings or tattoos?
He doesnât have any piercings but he has a lot of tattoos. At least, within the limits of his uniform. Most donât really mean anything and are just patterns and lines. However, he does have a couple ancient run tattoos and star maps tossed in. ( You can find examples in his pinterest board. )
â He tore the beauty from his face, and called it terror. â
AVAN JOGIA? No, thatâs actually KIAN GREYBACK. A SEVENTH YEAR student, this RAVENCLAW student is sided with THE DEATH EATERS. HE identifies as CISMAN and is a UNKNOWN ( WEREWOLF ) who is known to be CUNNING, TEMPERAMENTAL, and BRUTAL but also RELIABLE, ADROIT, and ADAPTABLE.
!! CHILD ABUSE TW, CHILD ABANDONMENT, KIDNAPPING TW !! The most that Kian can remember about his childhood is abandonment. Perhaps the cruelest thing to him was his parents deciding to carry him for nine months, bring him into this world and leave him for it to devour. âAnd devour it did. Â The story is that his parents just didnât careâ they had lives and he wasnât a part of them. The most theyâd done for him is stuff his pockets with a couple galleons and leave him behind in Knockturn Alley ( because who would go around asking âwhoâs kid is thisâ there. )
However, he didnât have to suffer abandonment for very long. Fenrir Greyback had an eye for those who âneededâ a pack and knelt down with a hand offered. It came with a price but what wouldnât Kian give for a homeâ a family. Perhaps if he could go back he would have refused that offerâŠonly perhaps.
Fenrir was a cruel man..and that was putting it mildlyâ but Kian wonders if heâd take his own parents over a monster of a man because at least heâd given him a home. ( Not that home meant comfort but it did, eventually, mean FAMILY. )
His âfatherâ was hard on him. He was pushed to his breaking point again and again. He was taught how to endure cruelty, how to get his vengeance, to bleed but not be weakened by it. The lessons were vicious â but in Kianâs eyes necessary. He adapted well, fought until he couldnât catch his breath and held up his siblings when it was their turn. Even though he was scared, Kian would approach everything in controlâ because thatâs what he was taught. His ability to look Fenrir in the eyes and say NO earned him the most hated and most favoured spot in ragtag group of his siblings. ( standing up to his father only had a punishment at the endâ though it seemed as if Kian had made his own mark with his stubbornness. ) Get knocked down, you get back up and you swing. Â !! End TW !!
SCHOOL DAYS.
Kian was sorted into Ravenclaw. A strange house for someone whoâd seem more fit for Gryffindor or Slytherin. But it came down to his cleverness and craftmanship that stuck him in with the eagles. He was smartâ or rather a smartass â found unconventional solutions to problems and had a cunning way of adapting to even the worst of conditions.
He isnât very popular with the others in his house or yearâ a little bit of an outcast because who doesnât know that GREYBACK is synonym for WEREWOLF. HE tended to be a target for the upperclass peers to dig into when they were feeling bored. Though it ended with someone hexed or cursed or sporting a split lip or broken nose. But such was his life and he wasnât too bothered by it. âAs he grew older and stronger and word got back to those scaredy-cat pureblood parents that it was a Greyback throwing said spell/fistâ things quickly quietened down for fear of retaliation from Fenrir. ( Not that the bastard actually cared but itâs the⊠thought that counts.)
HE doesnât really spend time in clubs or extracurricular as he feels itâs a waste of time. Besides he has one band of dumbasses he doesnât need to join any others. However, he did pick up quidditch from an early age and was quite a talented flier. His postion is naturally a beaterâ though heâs not fond of being led by a weasley.
His grades are above average and had once been considered for the position of prefect because of them but ultimately wasnât offered it because of the fights heâd been involved with. smart but not friendly nor helpful enough.
OTHER STUFF.
Uhm, he doesnât believe in all this âpurebloods are superiorâ shit. Heâs just mostly here for the fightâ at least thatâs what he believes his âfatherâ is in it for because Merlin knows they arenât fucking purebloods no matter how you spin it. Thereâs no money. No real parents. No hoity-toity clothes. No nose so far up his own ass. â IN fact i think he believes the Purebloods are a disgrace and canât hold their own and thatâs why people like him have to fight their battles. ( He doesnât really voice this but he definitely thinks it even if it isnât particularly trueâ just heâs real dumb? arrogant? idk? about this mess of a war )
Heâs actually quite calm??? ( I KNOW?? WHAT?? ) He doesnât mess with others unless heâs messed with and he tends to keep to himself. Kian isnât out there being a social butterfly because he really doesnât fucking care what you do or say or whatever. Life is dumb as hell, in his opinion, and he thinks dealing with his own is enough without someone elses involved. HOWEVER, if he is messed with this boy is gonna throw down. LIke heâs gonna go for the throat because thatâs how he was raised. Itâs either you or them there is no BOTH.
with that ^ saidâ he does have friends ( hallo plots ). he can be quite charming if he puts in the effort and perhaps his âlife sucks, do what u wantâ attitude tends to draw in people who may need stress relief from the war or you know normal things like last nights essay.
!! DRUGS TW, ALCOHOL TW !! Kian does smoke. Cigarettes and potâ never been one for anything harder than that. If he really wants to let go heâs out here for a couple rounds of firewhiskey. This is probably to the best way to see his true personality. Â !! END TW !!
Loyalty is important to him ( though he isnât past using it as a toss-around word for the DEs because he just really doesnt give a single fuck about them ). His lays with his siblingsâ though not biological he is very protective of his sisters but not enough to stand in the way of danger for them ( unless lethal. he will definitely step in ) After all they should know how to survive by now ANYWAYS. ( okay he does step in more often than that ;) a pack is a pack. )
There is some light at the end of the tunnel with him. He is quite funny when he wants to beâ he can have a laugh and smile ( no, i mean an actual smile ) but it seems to be reserved for those he can trust and let down that massive guard he has up.
MORE RANDOM THINGS.
Probably would love baseball in the muggle world.
The name Kian was given to him due to that being the first word he spoke to Greyback. ( OR at least thatâs what Fenrir believes he said ). Kian would be the name his father had and somehow it had stuck in his mind. âWhy are you out here all alone?â âKian.â SOOOOOOO he has no idea thatâs his real fatherâs nameâŠ.but yeno I guess you do get some things from your parents ha.
He doesnât really remember anything about his birth parents. He only remembers Greyback. Greyback is gross and likes to hold things over your head so -- his parents leaving him is something that is usually brought up in order to take kian down a notch-- though it doesnt work how Greyback anticipates.
Doesnât really have an opinion on being a werewolf other than itâs time consuming and therefor irritating to deal with. Pain is pain. Its an inconvience he wishes he could cure but not one that heâs willing to do whatever it takes to cure it, if u get me.
His favorite food is probably something dumb like mashed potatoes with gravy or roasted chicken with cous cous. â Favorite drink would be something equally simple like apple juice. Basically the palate of a two year old. Meaning heâs also here for things like lollies and popcicles, general summer time sweet treats. Not much for hot drinks like coffee or tea tho..go figure.
He has SEVERAL tattoosâŠ..and  none of them really mean anything? They are mostly just  a series of lines/designs/patterns that he doodles on his parchments and, you know, since Papa Greyback donât care about anything except himself this boyâs been getting them since summer before sixth year.
Tends to favour clothes that are flowy or breezy. Oranges and redsâŠblacks and whites mostly when outside of uniform. Doesnât mind tighter jeans but the shirts gotta be flowy.
He cuts his hair every so often. Like real short then lets it grow outâŠcurrently like mid-length and usually pulled up out of his face either in a pony or half-up-half-down.
PRetty damn good at wizardâs chess ( eat your heart out ron weasley! ) and most anything that requires quick-strategy. Heâs pretty good at figuring out the otherâs intention which leads to a win.
He does drawâ not anything too complicated but enough to know he has a mediocre talent in it? ( ie. his tattoos/doodles. )
His favorite classes are probably transfig, charms and probably astronomy. Most hated is herbology, comc, divinations and History or studies of anything.
UMM VERY UNSURE of what heâs gonna do when he graduates?? He doesnât really have a certain goal for right now butâŠ.hopefully he can figure it out before the end of the semester tbh.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
Best Friends. I SAID IT!!! i know i mentioned lone wolf but listen-- he needs a bestie or two to fuck things up with or at least someone to treat him like he isnât just, yeno, a wolf.
âBulliesâ.  This tech could be any blood status but i think, particularly, purebloods would be fun for this. basically when they were younger they picked at him for assorted reasons and eventually told to leave him alone by his parents because of Fenrir Greyback. Probably holds resentment to him because of that. also probably still takes abs at him. --kian being on the edge of chilling and ready to throw a curse at you, some could be fun enemies and/or frenemies at this point.
Hookups. basically fun hookups, angsty hookups, any genders. there isnât a particular reason just that he likes to hookup -- this is probably something that is just physical. heâs not emotionally available and most likely doesnât know how to be.
That ONE Person. you know that quote? âWhen is a monster not a monster? oh when you love it.â I think itâd be nice to have someone that treats him softly-- on equal grounds. Like not scared of him or not here to make fun of him but to be gentle towards him. LIKE YOU KNOW the ones taht are saying âwell your feelings are important. you are important. you arenât trashâ ( even tho he is trash sometimes lmao )
Qudditch Buddies. Kian is usually abrassive but when it comes to this sport he is probably the only one in the school with good sportsmanship. he doesnât care if they win or lose ( he still plays well though heâs not lazyyyy ) heâs just there to have a good time!! I think thatâd make him quite likable on the pitch-- probably, as funny as this sounds, a breath of fresh air.
