That was thoroughly satisfying if I do say so myself.

If I hear hem hem again, I swear I will use an unforgivable on myself. Her father must be out of his damn mind if he thinks I'm going to give that woman the time of day after what happened yesterday. Honestly, dragging me there. I wanted to gouge my eyes out there was so much pink and purple. It was disgusting and she thought I'd be able to eat? Out of her bloody mind, she is.

Pity about those muggles on the bridge too. I heard quite a few died. You might also want to get your rain gear ready or start casting water repellent charms, it looks like it's going to rain for several more days yet. Joy.

Horrible what happened today, wasn't it? Of course, I waswasn't there, but I heard about it from some friends of mine. Several dozen killed - that's a lot of mudbloods people. There's no telling how St. Mungos is going to be able to handle all those people coming in from today - I bet they'll be turning most of them away for awhile.

Who is Your Character?

Full Name: Walden Banks MacNair
Nicknames: Waldo in school
Age/Birthday: 28 years old; 17 August 1951
House and Years Attended: Slytherin; 1963-1970 (if my math is right)
Blood Status: Pureblood
Occupation (if applicable): None at the present time, though he will soon work as an executioner of dangerous creatures for the Ministry of Magic
Alliance: His allegiance lies with Lord Voldemort
Boggart: Scorpions - when he was young, his family took a vacation and he was bit by a scorpion. He still has the scar on his ankle and it serves as a reminder of his fear for them.
Patronus: He can't cast one, but if he could, it would be a hawk.

Personality: Walden is one of those people who took a long time to grow up and mature. For years, he lived off what bit of inheritance his father had left him and scrupled it away on fanciful whims (women, gambling, alcohol, and the like). Now that money has gotten tighter, he's begun to grow up. He's also a very ruthless man, though it only comes out when he's angry or commissioned to torture or kill someone by Voldemort's orders. When he was younger, he would play in the backyard - but not as kids would usually play. He would catch animals like rabbits and mice, and dissect them, curious as to what makes them different from himself before he finally showed them a bit of mercy and killed him. While his strengths, in his opinion, are his ruthlessness and his inability to care about many people, his lack of caring is a weakness of his. He doesn't have many close companions and is alone as a result. He was never very good at Transfigurations or Potions, but he excelled in Charms and has a sleek tongue about him. He can convince others to go along with his plans if he says the right thing or coerces them the right way.
Family and Friends (list relationships with them):
Father: James MacNair (deceased)
Mother: Sandra MacNair (deceased)
Sister: Allison MacNair (died when she was 10 from some muggle disease)

Appearance (paragraph minimum.): Walden keeps himself ill-kept. He showers at least every other day, but the scruffiness around his face and the scraggly hair makes others think otherwise. His manner of dress is comfortable, mostly blacks and browns, and, despite his abhorrence of muggles, he doesn't mind wearing some of their clothing since he very much dislikes robes. He's of average height and weight, and has strong shoulders and hands. His face usually appears grim or displeased, and he rarely smiles.
PB: Richard Armitage
Sexuality: Straight; heterosexual
Achievements (OWLS, NEWTS, Animagus, Quidditch, etc.):
Owls: Transfigurations (A), Potions (A), Charms (O), COMC (E), DADA (E), Ancient Runes (A)
NEWTS: Charms (E), COMC (E), DADA (E)
Quidditch: Played beater for his house during his sixth and seventh years at Hogwarts
Hobbies (Quidditch, Astronomy, Chess, Gob Stones): Quidditch (beater), apart of the COMC club, but only because he liked experimenting with animals.

Biography (three paragraphs minimum):
Walden MacNair was born in the middle of the afternoon to two parents who were relieved to finally get an heir to the MacNair name. Walden's mother had miscarried three times before they finally had him and he was gratefully received. His parents did show him very much longer - there were a few handshakes with his father and gently pats upon the shoulder by his mother, but they were an untraditional family where emotions were concerned. Several years after his birth, Walden's sister was born and he swore to protect her the moment she was born. And he did. When the kids in their village teased her because she had to wear glasses, he managed to do his first bit of magic - the kids in question ran home, complaining that they couldn't see. The condition was eventually cleared up by the Ministry, but his parents were thrilled to know that he was a wizard through-and-through.

Walden and Allison were schooled at home by tutors; their father didn't want them exposed to the outside world until they went to Hogwarts where he believed the best education was to be received. Allison was a better student than he was, they all knew that, but he did the best he could. When he was eleven, he received his Hogwarts letter and boarded the train (much to his sister's displeasure) and went off to Hogwarts. Once there, he was sorted into Slytherin and made the place his home. The first year went well and fast, and soon the second was upon him. The summer before, he had spent time running around the yard with his sister; he had missed her greatly during his time away. Then, several months into his second year, his mother came to the school to tell him the bad news - his sister had died from a muggle disease she had contracted when she had her tutor visited a muggle village for some sweets a few weeks before.

Enraged, Walden refused to talk to anyone and spent a week secluded in his dormitory, only coming out for classes and dinner. His rage increased and that's when he began to hate muggles: they killed his sisters with their diseases and disgusting selves.

Eventually, time healed the wound he had for the absence of his sister, but he still missed her. He still hated muggles, but he couldn't do anything about that while in school. He studied, did the best he could, sat his Owls and NEWTs, played on the Quidditch team as a beater, and finally left school. At first, he wasn't sure what to do with his life and his mother died the year after he got out. Angered again by this, he went to the continent and traveled for awhile, but later received news a few months later that his father had died too, leaving him without family and with the family estate.

Reluctantly, he came back to England and settled matters, but that didn't cause him to grow up. He took the money he had, threw it into girls, alcohol, and gambling, and spent most of it all away. It wasn't until one night in a dark pub that he finally met his destiny. He had heard rumours of an underground movement against muggles and those that weren't pure. He listened intently and a few weeks later, he was branded with the Dark Mark on his arm and was a proud member of the Death Eaters. Now he could get rid of those filthy muggles and make them pay for his sister's death. Since his induction, he has been following orders, going out on the missions that Voldemort commands him to and has gained a modicum of respect from the Dark Lord.
