| [atrb=width,400,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style,border:5px solid #181E24; background-color:#31414A;] Vivien  Full Name: Vivien Silvius Lovegood Age: Twenty Eight Gender: Male Sexuality: Bisexual (he's quite open about it) Blood Type: Pure-Blood Species: Wizard Familiar: A King Cobra named Naga. She is not allowed in the school building (apparently the headmaster has no love for snakes), so she is limited to slithering around Vivien's cottage and the Forbidden Forest. Vivien has specifically ordered her not to bite any students... unless they're being particularly annoying. Patronus: Serpent Boggart: His father's body being torn apart and scarred beyond recognition. The screams are heart-wrenching and deafening. His skin is ripped away, his bones are shattered. His organs and muscles are all torn apart until there is nothing left but a heart-shaped locket in the middle of an ocean of blood and flesh. Place Of Work: Hogwarts Position: Care of Magical Creatures Professor Strong Subjects: ⇢ Care of Magical Creatures (durr) ⇢ Charms Weak Subjects: ⇢ Divination - There's no excitement in life if you know what's going to happen. ⇢ History of Magic - Why sulk in the past when you can live in the present? Wandcrafting: ⇢Wood: Ivy - A surprisingly powerful wood with a slight green hue which has been painstakingly crafted into the appearance of a serpent. Flawless, delicate scales wind up its slender shaft, leading to its head -- the handle -- which is poised in a vicious pose as if ready to strike. It is a creation of both power and beauty. ⇢Core: Fwooper Feather - This core is particularly strong in Charms and Care of Magical Creatures. Of course, there's also a nasty rumor that they slowly drive the wielder insane, but that's just a rumor.... right? ⇢Length: Exactly twelve inches. It's so exact that it could be used as a ruler. ⇢Flexibility: Somewhat springy, making it equally quick and powerful. Personality: There is an unexpected duality in Vivien's personality. It is almost as if he treats life as a stage, and he, the actor, is playing both characters. Do not be mistaken; he does not have multiple personality disorder, for these personalities of his are not entirely separate people. They are simply different sides -- opposite sides, perhaps -- of himself. On one hand, he is creative and witty. Perhaps a little too creative on most occasions, diving into the realm of the strange and bizarre. His hair, for example, is usually charmed with a green hue, and his style of clothes is unconventional to say the least. He has a rather feminine flair, and doesn't hesitate to wear anything that might be considered unusual. Despite some incredulous stares he receives on a day-to-day basis, he's always in a good mood. His face is rarely seen without a smile or a grin, and he tends to have an optimistic outlook on every situation. But honestly, it can get rather annoying after a while. In his spare time, he enjoys creating art, composing music, and acting. On the other hand, when he's in a situation where he needs to be serious, or even threatening, he can be. He feels comfortable just about anywhere, even in the face of danger. He does not get unnerved in unpredictable forests such as the Forbidden Forest or hostile streets such as Knockturn Alley. He is surprisingly fearless, since after his father's death, he never wanted to feel helpless again. He took control over his life after that event, and learned and did as much as he could with his life. He's actually much more intelligent and skilled in the magical arts than he acts most of the time. He's rather knowledgeable in most subjects, with the exceptions of Divination, History, and the Dark Arts. HISTORY: Once upon a time, a woman of the Gaunt family fell in love with a Lovegood. It was a rather twisted relationship, since various spells and love potions had been used to fuel the false mutuality of her love. Unfortunately for the woman, when she gave birth to her first child, the effects of her potions and charms went awry and the Lovegood saw that he had been deceived. He fled with the newborn child in an attempt to protect him from his mother's darkness. The only item he kept from his past life was a golden locket which he always wore around his neck. Of course, Vivien was only a child when all that happened, and only knows about it from his father's stories. He does, however, remember the first time he met his mother. Consequently, it was also the last time he would ever see his father. Fourteen years later, before Vivien was to enter his fourth year at Hogwarts, his mother came to the door. To be precise, she blasted it right off its hinges. Vivien was hastily pushed into a closet by his father as he ran past to defend his home from his scorned ex-wife. From a slight crack in the door, Vivien watched as his mother -- by far more powerful in the dark arts than his father was at defense -- tortured his father, both mentally and physically. If Vivien had screamed, she would not have been able to hear him over the desperate cries of his father. But he could not scream. He could not move, nor draw his eyes away from that gruesome scene. His father, however, never told her where Vivien was hiding, and he managed to occupy his ex-wife just long enough for the Ministry to arrive. When Vivien returned to Hogwarts that year, he was in awe at the mysterious Thestrals pulling the carriages to the castle gates. After Vivien graduated from Hogwarts, he traveled to a number of places around the world. India, Scandinavia, Canada, Brazil, Africa, Romania, New Zealand... but the most memorable of all the places he traveled to was China, where he lived with and befriended a number of Chinese Fireball Dragons. He made quite a few discoveries and had quite a few adventures before-- a little longer than three years ago -- receiving a letter from Hogwarts requesting that he teach the Care of Magical Creatures class. Of course, he was hesitant to accept, but eventually took the job. After all, it couldn't be all that difficult to teach some students how to ride a dragon... could it? Aspirations: To tame and ride on the back of a Hungarian Horntail. Honestly who wouldn't want to (other than the general population, of course)? INVENTORY: ⇢ Chocolate - Vivien is never seen without some form of chocolate. Never. He prefers plain dark chocolate, nothing special or enchanted. However, you'll occasionally see him with other varieties of sweets. ⇢ Locket - Hanging from a curious golden chain dangling around his neck is a small locket. It is in the shape of a heart, so most people assume that it holds the image of a lover. However, he has never revealed its contents to anyone. ⇢ Moleskin pouch - A small bag usually worn around his wrist, which carries a large number of items (most of which are chocolate).
