A Little Deeper
Personality: List at least five words that would best describe your character.
Honorable Vincent is willingly give his life to save another from harm. He is driven by ancient principles few understand today—a code of conduct that demanded something more of its leaders. He believes in the principles of truth, honor, and duty.
Unforgiving When those within his ranks turned and bowed to Voldermort he made it his duty to hunt and persecute his own fellow "brothers in arms" for turning their back on the wizards they had been entrusted to protect.
Leadership Proven during the Wizard Wars, he is at his best when leading others and working as a unit. While always preferring to outmaneuver the enemy he is no fool and knows the value of retreat when prudent.
Charismatic Not only handsome but a man of his word and a charming smile makes for a deadly combination. When he was married he was the envy of many woman but never did he look at another woman since he had married the love of his life. As a single man he can be described as a playboy.
Loving Father/former husband Loves his daughter with all his heart and still regrets the failure of his marriage. Beautrice nor Tayln will never go a birthday, Christmas or special event without a card or gift from him personally.
History: (How did your character grow up? Where? How did they enjoy their childhood?Anything interesting happen to them? How did they first learn about magic?)
Born on October 20th 1952 in the small Muggle Sea Port town of King Lyn's England, Only his parents would know that he had the potential to be a wizard. The family shared a long history of nobility and arranged marriages but his father fell in love with a witch and broke decades of tradition. Explaining to the rest of the family was difficult but Arthur was the oldest of his siblings and none dared challenged him nor disrespect his wife and children even if they were slightly intimated by their magical prowess.
Cecilia taught her children all she knew from a young age, sadly the other two were not born with magical powers but his sister, much like his father, fell in love with a wizard and produced magical children. Between riding classes, muggle grade school and magical history, young Vincent was ecstatic when an owl arrived with an invitation of the legendary Hogwarts he had heard so much about!
Vincent began his education in 1963 and had never been happier. He was a socializing magnet, drew the attention and made many life long friends. In that year he met the woman he swore would be his wife, Beautrice Selvrdige a 5th year student and prefect at the time. Many called him foolish and even if he had his share of girlfriends he relentlessly pursued and flirted with her the last years she attended the school, even managing to have a dance with her at the Yule ball in his third year.
He failed to make prefect in his 5th year but made Head Boy in his final year (1970), excelling in all the subjects he needed to become an Auror. After his graduation he went of for training even if others wanted nothing to do with anything that would oppose the forming death eaters and their dark lord. In 1973 he became a full fledged Auror and worked Internal affairs, seeing Imperius afflicted officials/traitors and spies within the Ministry and fought in the wizard war zealously against the death eaters. Vincent had taken great offense that his muggle born heritage was being persecuted and took everything the dark lord and his goons did, personal.
In 1975 he he ran into none other than Beautrice again and a relationship kindled. Their love was reckless and passionate, she would claim it was from the troubling times but Vincent never did. He knew that she would be his wife and in 1979 they were married, two years later their daughter was born. Raising a child in aftermath of a war was difficult but Talyn was loved and Vincent was ever vigilant over the two despite the marital issues that began to rise. They were two different, both stubborn and unwavering until their separation in 1988.
Heartbroken and unable to stay in England, he request to go on assignment over seas to help train Aurors of other Ministries for a couple of years, only returning when rumors of Lord Voldermort's re-rise to power are sent to him by his daughter. Falling back into his previous job as Auror he works with his own hand picked group of Aurors to work against Voldermort after the Ministry is taken over completely. The small group fight their own front in the Second Wizard War and past it what is rumored as "The Ministry War." that ends in 2003 when he becomes Head Auror and a massive shift occurs within the Ministry. Vincent is behind the harsh punishment Death Eaters and Ministry Traitors had coming to them, many are stripped of their wands and even forbidden from ever using magic.
Four years later he proudly watches as Harry Potter becomes Head Auror and he is elected the new Minister of Magic after the retirement of Kinglsey.
Immediate Family: (Include any relatives your character has [parents, siblings etc.] and some history on them [A mini bio, if you will {Age, occupation, blood status, a little history}-- this is important for those wishing to be of pureblood line])
Beatrice Selvridge[1] the love of his life and current ex-wife. While she might claim their marriage was nothing but a desperate attempt to latch to someone in troubling times, Vincent has a different view on the matter. Vincent fell in love with the woman the moment he laid eyes on her, he did not care that she was five years her senior and did not seem to give him the time of day, she would be his wife.
Regrettably they were two different to become a cohesive couple. The love and passion was there but the marriage lacked the other necessary components. The two finally divorced against Vincent's wishes but the marriage came to an end after a few short years.
Talyn Selvridge-Proudmane[2] his one and only child, the gift his beloved wife gave to him before their marriage came to an end. The relationship between Talyn and Vincent remains strong even after the divorce. Fortunately neither asked her to pick sides and did not resort to petty squabbles with their daughter in the middle.
