Hercules Megalos  // 18  // 6th year // Pukwudgie  // No-Maj Born

Auror, frontline specialization

FC: KJ Apa

Herc doesn’t know who his birth parents are. He grew up in a very loving two parent home on a farm in Alabama but considering how old they are, he knew from a very young age that he couldn’t be theirs. He didn’t feel unloved just that a part of him was missing, a part he wanted to understand. He felt like an outsider in more ways than one and so he convinced himself that he would be happy if only he knew the truth. He wanted to know where he came from for emotional reasons mostly but also very practical reasons. Herc has incredible strength, far beyond that of a normal human being and he has for quite some time. When he was seven he could lift up the back end of his dad’s pickup truck and when he turned sixteen he could lift it above his head.

Going to Ilvermorny was a bit of a shock to his system, partly because the weather was so incredibly different but also because for the first time ever he wasn’t necessarily the biggest freak in the room. He felt like he fit in and that did wonders for his confidence. He started to genuinely train his muscles in secret, bulking up, going from zero to hero, joining his house quidditch team as a beater and the guard club. Sure his grades aren’t great but that was never really a necessity for a career as a frontline auror.

Everything in his life seemed like it was starting to make sense and the mystery of his past didn’t plague him as much as it had. He was getting very good at avoiding the question but the thing is, avoiding problems that way tends to make them worse. He’s now consumed with trying to find his birth parents but he doesn’t know where to look or even how. He needs to find someone smart, an investigator but who to approach?

Positive Traits:

Brave, Strong, Kind

Negative Traits:

Gullible, Naive, Ditzy

Megara Spiros  // 20  // 8th year // Horned Serpent  // Pureblood, Vampire

International magical politics specialization

FC: Natasha Negovanlis

Meg grew up on the sunny shores of Greece with her family and she was very happy there…at least she was until her mother cheated on her father, shaming their family. At the time it all seemed very stupid, having to leave the country because her parents had an affair? When she grew up she would understand better the sort of shame and humiliation they were being subjected to. Frustratingly enough, instead of choosing some warm, tropical portion of the country, her family chose to move to Seattle Washington.

The rain did very little to boost her mood, she found herself getting depressed and yearning for school to start up. She was in that kind of mood when she met Adrien, a no-maj and probably the most beautiful boy she’d ever sen. He was a little older than she was and a bad boy, she fell head over heels. She was sad to leave him for the school year but every summer they would reconnect until eventually, when she was eighteen, they got together. She had to leave him again to go to school but she believed he would be faithful while she was away.

The summer before her seventh year was when things got bad, he was distant and he didn’t call when he said he would. She investigated and discovered that he was in debt to a vampire named Hades, an old and powerful one. The deal was that he would become one of his minions if he couldn’t pay up and like a fool, she told Hades she would take his place, little did she know that it would mean becoming a vampire herself.

The change had been sudden and violent but it would be alright, Adrien and her, they loved each other, he wouldn’t be afraid of her. She went to his apartment one night shortly after, keeping her bloodlust in check, determined to keep him safe. When she got to the door, hand raised as if to knock, she heard the unmistakable sound of love making on the other side. She was stunned, she had just died for him and he didn’t care. He didn’t want her. She thought about kicking the door down, killing them both but instead she chose to run away.

She was permitted by her new boss Hades to finish the school year but her heart really isn’t in it. Where she had once gotten fantastic marks, her grades were average, where she had once been friendly she was cold. She longed for the sensations of being alive again, how on earth could anything possibly be worth living for when you were already dead? She has to keep her condition a secret, she knows that, but sometimes she thinks it might be better if she let the world know she was now one of the bad guys.

Positive Traits:

Cold, Cynical, Sarcastic

Connections:

Hades: Her boss, an ancient vampire who calls himself the lord of the dead, for all she knows he may very well be the person the myth was based on.
