History:
Charles was born in July, 1864.
His first sign of magic was at an early age, 6, when he levitated one of his mother’s lardy cakes from the top shelf.
He was very well off, he had the best of everything as he grew up and knew not much of the lower classes beneath his. It was not, however, a happy family situation. His father, with pressure from many generations, snapped frequently, and beat Charles as he believed it would make him stronger and more resistant to the life he believed was out there for his son. He still bears the scars, even after many years of treatment. He did, indeed grow stronger, but the resistance was mainly towards his parents, who he prides himself on being nothing like.
There was always pressure from his parents to marry early and continue the line. Charles has no immediate plans for family, and strongly believes there is no one out there for him. Rather than seeking escort services, he “hunts” among balls to find temporary satisfaction in the women attending them.
He is a frequent smoker and loves to indulge in drink almost as often.
He currently lives in Wellingtonshire, the only resident in his house (aside from maids and servants, of course).

Personality: While he is superficially charming, Charles has a prevalent dark side that people see once they know him. He can be manipulative and controlling and has known to be rough, nearly abusive. He is however a fiercely loyal companion to have and is very protective (whether that be a good or bad thing, I leave up to the characters that interact with him .
Sample Roleplay Post:
Taken from another RP site; My character Rose.

Rosamund rushed through the dungeons. She had too much on her mind to focus on Potions. She couldn’t even believe anyone could focus on school at a time like this. Don’t get her wrong, school was important, but how could anyone with a sound mind dedicate their attention to education when life as they knew it was changing around them? People would die because of this war, families would be ripped apart. Again, Alaric crossed her mind… she needed to shake him out otherwise she wouldn’t get any work done.

She rushed to the teacher’s desk once she had entered. A small ‘Hi, Sir’ escaped her and she trundled off to a desk, the instruction page clutched firmly in her right hand, paying no attention to who she sat with. She sat with two students, a Slytherin and a Ravenclaw, both of which looked very agreeable. Rosamund gave them a brief smile and started reading over her instructions.
