A Little Deeper

PHYSICAL: Any chance to test his strength and push it, he'll take it. He likes getting his hands dirty, working on things the muggle way, and he's very comfortable with physical contact in general.
KIND: Not an ounce of malice in the boy. He's kind hearted, has good intentions even if it's not always glaringly obvious... Helps whenever help is needed and feels strongly about bullying and such.
SMART: Even if he doesn't always look it, and many have assumed otherwise, he does have a good head on those shoulders.
LOYAL: Family has ultimate loyalty. Friends are close to family in that regard. Cross them, cross him. He will get aggressive if you threaten any of them, and he'd rather lie down and cuddle a pack of rats than betray a friend. A friend's girlie, or his crush or whatever. Off limits. Ya know, unless he was there first. (What? He's loyal, not an angel!) Tell him a secret and it will stay a secret. Ask him to back you up and he will, without question.
DETERMINED: He doesn't give up easily and he's quite set on what he wants when he figures that out.
PLAYFUL: Usually sporting half a grin and always quick to see the funny side of things as long as they don't hurt anybody. He doesn't take himself overly seriously and he's usually up for some mischief or fun.

Likes: Quidditch, dancing, soccer, food (seriously, it deserves a mention), muggle transportation (cars, bikes and the mechanical aspect of them), girls, dragons, snow and so much more
Dislikes: Bullying, homework, losing, guys around his sister, arrogance
Fears: Rats and water.
Worst Memory(ies): Watching his dad fall off his broom during a Quidditch match.
Best Memory(ies): The first time he flew.
Favorite Animal(s): Dragons. Big ones. But his pet is a Northern Hawk Owl named Brat.

Favorite Color(s): Red and black.

Personal History

Dom grew up in a Norwegian countryside, about an hour drive from the capital, nurtured into his preteens by a loving family. When his second oldest brother was old enough to enter the Ministry education system the family moved to London. He was raised to know he can do anything he wants to and that if he works hard enough he can achieve his dreams. He was also raised to know he is a strong, good person who deserves nothing less than respect, as long as he shows the same respect to others. A wholesome childhood, one might say. He has two older brothers and one younger sister whom he is rather protective of, despite only two years being between them. His oldest brother has his undying respect but he has a habit of keeping their sister's secrets from him when they are likely to cause trouble.

Family

(About the crest: The main elements are the dragons and the flowers on either side, and the tree in the middle. The dragons stand for the family's age old connection to the fierce creatures though the actual history with them is mostly tales by now. The only definitely known dragon trainer is grandfather Blackwood. The flowers stand for home and family, the other side of the coin and a very big part of what the Blackwoods stand for. The tree in the middle has both a literal and symbolic meaning, a black tree for Blackwood, and then the widely recognized symbolism of the circle of life, roots, strength, life and family, strength in knowing your origins and all that. The family motto is Virtus - Familia - Veritas. Virtus stands for strength, bravery, resolution, etc. Familia obviously for family and brotherhood. And Veritas stands for truth, honesty, certainty, etc.) The Blackwood family is a pure blood family who has resided in Norway since many generations back. The name was originally Svartskog but due to common misunderstanding that they had affiliation with a family of dark wizards living in a place by that name, they got it legally registered as the English equivalent. They are not, nor have ever been, pure blood extremists. The Blackwood you are looking at is of the youngest generation. Dominik has two older brothers and a younger sister: Dan is the oldest, then James, Dominik and then Kris the youngest. Kris, Dom and James are close in age but Dan is a few years older. They have a huge family of uncles and aunts, most in Russia, Norway and the United Kingdom. The family sport is without any doubt Quidditch, though muggle sports have definitely taken a place as well, football (soccer) probably the most. Another shared family interest amongst the branches in Northern Europe are dragons. Only one family member (grandfather Blackwood) actually dedicated his life to them, but the interest and fascination is definitely there. Durmstrang is where the older generations of Blackwoods got their education, but some sides of the family went to Hogwarts. Those who attended Hogwarts have most been sorted into Gryffindor, though the other houses have had their representatives as well. Being a wealthy family, the Blackwoods bought a large property in the outskirts of London when they moved.
