mirror mirror on the wall, have i got it?
i'm finding it's not easy to be perfect.
eye colour; his eyes are a very light hazel brown color, with a darker shade filling around the edges of them and speckles dashed around his pupils. they hardly ever change color, they tend to the weather. in the sunlight, you can see all of the different colors. however, when it's cold, they seem to stay just the light hazel, no other color.
hair colour; his hair color is a dark mousy color, but turning into a reddish in the light. showing off his short layers as well. as it levels with his chin, he tends to go with the messy bed head look, sorts him more to his personality.
height; "6'3.
other physical traits; Dark Mark on left forearm, with a faint x-shaped scar running across it.
clothing style; one of those guys who sticks to suits and ties, black trousers, white shirts and black ties. or sometimes waist coats. occasionally he would wear the jeans with a baggy shirt with a saying on it, would had to be corny to him though. just that sort of guy.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
Cheerful, kind – the sort of person who holds doors open for strangers all the time and helps little kids in the park fix their broken toys.
Determined (or possibly ‘stubborn’) – he tends to stick with a thing once he’s decided.
Corny - comes out with cute sayings or laughable ones most of the time. just to make himself or others smile.
Helpful - gives advice to anyone who needs it, likes to sort things out with the person and keeps his attention only to that person at the time being.
Enjoyable - up for any challenge which is thrown at him, like he always says 'you're never too old for anything'.
flaws;
Confuser - tends to play with peoples minds' about his emotions towards them. acting like he doesn't always feels towards them.
Open minded - says anything he thinks to the person he is with, sometimes he can hurt the persons feelings without him meaning it.
Temper - when he's pissed off with someone, he continues to carry on with the fight or start one off. he always wants to be the person he finishes it.
habits;
ruffles up his hair with his hand constantly.
bites his lower lip when he's just embarrassed himself or in one of those moods.
cracks his bones when bored, just something he does.
three words to sum up your character;

brief history; Raised by his mother in the muggle world, but always wanted to be more like his father – a pureblood who abandoned them, but about whom his mother still told glowing and affectionate stories. Travis sort of got the idea that if he made enough of a name for himself, his dad would show up some day and they could actually meet. So he was sorted into Slytherin and became a deatheater, despite the contradiction with his fairly compassionate nature. Even though he initially wanted to excel, he sort of changed his mind when he saw what he’d have to do in order to do that. For most of the war, Travis found ways to quietly not-quite-follow orders whenever he could, and make up for his guilty conscience when he couldn’t by doing things like volunteering in soup kitchens.
It was here that he met Arden, seemingly a muggle girl who was also volunteering. They got along perfectly well until she first saw him without a shirt on, went deathly pale at the sight of his Dark Mark, and fled the room – not a muggle girl after all. So Travis was left to engage in the first self-destructive of his life, slashing an ‘x’ across the Mark with a kitchen knife. Luckily, however, Arden came back the next day and they talked it over until she decided she could accept what he was, and he could to.
From this point on Travis also started smuggling very small bits of information to the Order, though of course the war was over within a few months, so luckily he never got caught. He also was never directly involved with the Order, so when his name came up years later on a list of suspected Death Eaters, there was no one to vouch that he was a good guy. A couple of aurors ambushed him one day while he was on his way home, and Travis fought back without thinking, not realizing what was going on. He may have even killed one of the aurors – it’s all a little fuzzy. He does remember hearing the killing curse, however, and very shortly afterward read his own obituary in a local paper. So he decided to continue laying low after that, and has spent the last two years wandering aimlessly around different parts of the world, never daring to go home again no matter how much he might miss it.
