Appearance: Balthazar is a teenager who 5'11 and has semi-muscular build. He always likes his clothes neat and clean. Balthazar always has his smile across his face which makes him look approachable and friendly. He usually keeps his hair cut short and rarely grows it out.

Wand Expertise: Charms & Hexes
Patronus: Cassowary
Boggart: Leeches

Personality: At first glance Balthazar can seem laid back and really nice. He acts helpful and polite. He is always in a good mood. He doesn't let things bother him at all. At times he will even seem wiling to go out of his way to help others. He always has the same relaxed expression on his face, even in times of danger or sadness he always kept his expression. It would appear as if things go over his head and he is sometimes out of the loop. Most people would dismiss him as an absent-minded nice guy.

His nice guy demeanor is actually a facade, he is cunning in reality. He always knows what is going on he just appears dumb founded. He not the kindest person either, he can be manipulative and uncaring. he actually cares very little for people except for those that get close to him. It is hard to get Balthazar to actually care for someone, they would have to affect him deeply in some way. It hard to see what's he thinking given he always has his same expression on his face.

History: Balthazar was born to a muggle family in Wales. His His great great grandparents on his mother's side were pure-blood wizards. They had a son who married a muggle and was disowned. They then gave birth to a squib who lived with muggles and he eventually married another muggle giving birth to Balthazar's mom. They lived in a good-sized house in the city. His mom and dad both were business owners so they occasionally traveled, but not too much. Balthazar had an average life, he was just like any other school child. He did have an interest in myths of magic and monsters. Most considered it normal childhood interest.

When he turned eleven, someone arrived at his house. They explained how he was to attend Hogwarts. Balthazar was excited to say the least. His parents were at first skeptical, but after talking to the Hogwarts representative they reluctantly approved. He went through the whole package pf getting wands and supplies. He was nervous, but his usual demeanor. On the trip there he heard some kids saying how the detested Muggle-born kids. He was surprised by this and decided to keep the fact to himself. When he finally arrived at Hogwarts he was eager to be placed in a house. He was hoping for Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, but he was put in Slytherin. He was distressed seeing as there were a lot of pure bloods in Slytherin house. He decided to act the part. It would be easy enough to claim he was a pure-blood and if anyone ever found out he'd say he was half-blood. The only people who know of his lineage are the headmaster and the representative who picked him up on his 11th birthday. Both of which wouldn't give that information out.

During the year he found he liked his studies. He was good at potions and Charms. Soon he found those to be some of his favorite subjects. When it came to transfiguration he was dreadful at it. He wasn't sure why he couldn't do the spells well. He decided his main focus should be charms and potions seeing as he was getting high marks in those courses. Along his time in Hogwarts he came across some jinx and hexes. He started to study them as well wanting to learn more. He often read books on spells and potions, but he hides half of them so people wouldn't know how much time he spends studying.



Sample Post:

Dante had been woke for a while now, this was actually his normal routine to wake up at about six in the morning. As usual he was walking in the woods enjoying the solitude. He looked up and noticed the dull clouded sky and could hear the waves. He figured Zeus and Poseidon must of gotten in to a disagreement again and both were pouting. It wasn't anything to worry about, they usually got over as long as it wasn't something servere. From what he could tell the morning sun was rising high. He decided to head back to his cabin and get ready for the day's routine.

Dante had already washed up and everything before he went on his walk. He sat in his cabin just relaxing a bit before the breakfast rush to the mess hall. Usually he'd be the first one there, but he didn't feel like rushing there so he decided to just wait for the line to die down. Jumping in his bed he figured he could get about thirty minutes of sleep, but then a knocking was coming from the cabin door. Someone else answered the door so Dante put his head back down. Then the kid walked over to him and told him that it was for him. Dante walked to the door. "Yeah, you did you want something?" She said that Chiron wanted him. He was wondering what would Chiron want with him and why a huntress was sent to retrieve him. Dante didn't ask any questions and followed her.

It was a quiet was with Diana to go see Chiron. She looked as if she had something on her mind and noticed the disturbances around them. Even with the all this happening, Dante remained silent. The reasons were that she was a huntress he found them to be rude to boys even if the say a few words to them. The other was Dante really didn't care. He looked around as they walked, most of the campers were just now waking up and you could tell by dull and droopy look of their faces.

They both had finally arrived at the big house and there Chiron was waiting for them. He looked worried about something which was odd, he is usually relaxed. There was a silence for a moment as the three of them stood there. It was quite uncomfortable, but finally Diana broke the silence and said the prophecy to him. He repeated the line "A cold north wind must endure the dangerous mission." He already knew her next what question would be, as far as Dante knew, he was the only son of Boreas at camp. He could vaguely recall that Diana was a daughter of one of the sirens so that part made sense. Going on a quest was one of the things Dante was really eager to do, ever since he got to camp a year ago. He nodded his head slowly to Diana. "Yeah, I'll go." He didn't let out much excitement in his tone, but he was happy to go. He started to think of the prophecy. "By the sound of the prophecy it sounds as if well come across another quest member. But we'll need him or her at some point. Seeing as this matter is annoying the big three we should leave as soon as possible."

Dante too was thinking on this to bring to prepare himself for the quest. He knew they'd both have to go get necessary supplies. "Diana, how about we both go to our cabins and pack things. We just have to cover food, money both mortal and mythical, ambrosia, and nector." He thought for a moment of anything else they needed. "Oh and weapons and magic items perhaps, but I don't thing we have to worry about that. What do you think?"

Neat application Kj! I love the contradictions your character has to cope with. It should be interesting to see him roleplay.
