CLOTHING STYLE :: Qhuinn isn't that picky with his clothes. He prefers wearing jeans, or anything that's black, the gothic style, t-shirts that range from plain to having funny sayings on them, and skulls. He often wears a black leather choker around his neck. Both ears are pierced, multiple times, with four small silver earrings up the sides, and an 18mm black gauge in his right ear. His shoes of choice are black sneakers or combat boots, depending on his mood. He owns a few formal things but rarely wears them.
FATHER :: Lohstrong Hale, late 30's, Aristocrat Socialite, businessman in the Muggle world, Neutral, loves Muggles so long as they're loaded. Couldn't give a damn about the war or the goings on around him.[/blockquote]
MOTHER :: Sareael Hale, mid 30's, Aristocrat Socialite, Neutral, tolerates Muggles because of her husband's involvement with them. Unlike her husband, she is fully aware that there is a war going on, but she does not speak against him or his rules, and would prefer to see her children safe...however, Qhuinn is not included in this factor.

Ariale Ehlena Hale, 15, bred to be just like her mother.
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS :: N/A
PETS :: None
WAND :: 11 inches, blackthorn, dragon heartstring core.[/blockquote]
LANGUAGES :: English. His family speaks in an 'Olde Language' that was passed down from generation to generation. It is only used in the most formal cases, as with a promise, or words of endearment.
MAGICAL HIGHS & LOWS :: Qhuinn is awesome with charms...some more than others. He's good with potions and enjoys Defense Against the Dark Arts. He would probably be decent with History of Magic if he could just stay awake. And study...but it goes full circle to that whole staying awake thing. Transfiguration is...ug. He's not very good at it, at all.
SPECIAL ABILITIES :: Seer, Vampire. Qhuinn was born with ability to See, presumably inheriting it from his grandmother, however this was kept as a secret as the Hale's social class did not do well with differences. Ehlayna told no one of her Gifts. Qhuinn's first vision was his grandmother's death. He could see the what of things, but not the when. Finding his grandmother to be his only confidant she explained to him that she was sorry for passing it on to him, and warned her grandson to keep it to himself. Easier said than done.
Before the start of his sixth year, Qhuinn was turned by Barnabas Mortis, a crazy bastard of a vampire. It was the final straw. Lohstrong refused his son entry into their manse, and threw some of Qhuinn's belongings at him. The rest was burned on the front lawn.
PATRONUS :: No Patronus for Qhuinn...He has plenty of happy memories, albeit some are a double edged sword and contain just as much pain. His grandmother tried to teach him before her death, but all he could muster was some silvery mist.
OTHER TALENTS :: Qhuinn loves music, making it and listening to it. He's got an amazing voice, even though no one in his family will admit it. He came across the talent when he was six, while visiting his grandmother. She played the piano and he sang the tune from where he stood in the hall, while his siblings sat in the parlor with her. Much to his surprise; as well as Maxi's and Ariale's, Ehlayna invited her grandson to join them. As he got older, she would sneak visits with him. She taught Qhuinn how to play the piano and the violin. He taught himself how to play the guitar and drums...much to his parents' displeasure.
LIKES :: Music is Qhuinn's first love. This includes making it, listening to it, singing along and just plain making wonderful noise. Males, females, and doing things of the intimate variety with them run a close second. He is a candy fiend and takes 'addicted' to a new level. And chocolate. Oh yes. Qhuinn enjoys chocolate frogs almost as much as he likes...cake. And most sweets. Yep. Bottomless. Pit. Yet, for all this, he enjoys a good workout and staying in shape. He dances and practices the art of parkour (free running). He is also accustomed to, and enjoys, muggle technology.[/blockquote]
DISLIKES :: Qhuinn...dislikes his parents. It isn't that he doesn't love them, per se, but it's difficult for him to feel anything toward them as the feelings are mutual. He hates silences of any kind, but the uncomfortable ones are the worst. He doesn't like the rain, or confined places.
PARAGRAPH FORMAT :: For the most part, Qhuinn is a laid back sort of guy. He's not horribly difficult to get along with, but he has his moments where the brain to mouth filter shuts off. These moments are far and few between, and should they occur he is quick to apologize if he feels he's done wrong and he'll make it up ten fold. He is loyal to the friends he has and may count them as siblings, rather than the kin he already has. Qhuinn enjoys having a good time, be it laughing and joking around or participating in other...activities. He takes pride in being a comedian and more often than not, he tries to find humor in everything. He also loves pop culture, and will make references even if no one knows what the hell he's talking about.
Qhuinn doesn't like confrontation. That doesn't mean he won't throw down for someone he cares about though. He is profficient in hand to hand combat, and likes to get up close and personal. He's not into any advanced martial arts - nope, kicking the hell out of his oppenent and a well placed punch do just fine.
His parents and family life are a difficult subject. While he is physically able to hold his own, when it comes to his emotions regarding his bloodline...not so much. Being raised the way he was, Qhuinn craves attention and touch is important to him, but he will not go out if his way to be in the limelight, nor will he cling. His pride does not allow him to break down.
BIRTHPLACE :: Caldwell, New York. USA[/blockquote]
HISTORY :: Qhuinn's family looked forward to his birth. Maxi longed for a brother to play with and his father couldn't have been happier to have another male child. When Qhuinn was born, it was a happy and exciting day. Until he opened his eyes. Every one else had steely gray peepers. Blue would have been fine and lovely, green would have been splendid, a pleasant change in the otherwise dull hues. Any eye colors would have been welcome...provided they matched. Qhuinn's did not. Lohstrong and Sareael came from 'perfect genes' and did not do well with differences. The baby was taken care of by house elves. The parents kept the child but they would not look at him or speak to him. His brother was forbidden to interact with Qhuinn in any positive light. The only interaction the pair got was if Maxi was teasing Qhuinn in some way. And when the child would get upset, he would run to his mother. Only to be ignored. Or she would scold him for getting in Maxi's way. Peace was only 'restored' to the household when Ariale was born...but Qhuinn was still pushed to the side. Childhood was not rainbows and butterflies.
His grandmother, Ehlayna, did not readily welcome the child either, until he was six years old. The Hales were living in Caldwell, and Sarael's mother lived in London. During one family trip Ehlayna put on a small concert for her grandchildren. Qhuinn was allowed to listen, as long as he stayed in the hallway. But the boy couldn't stop himself from singing along with the tune. His grandmother could no longer deny him. She fell in love the boy instantly, despite his shortcomings. She forced herself to look past it and invited Qhuinn to sit with them, much to his surprise and delight. Sareael thought her mother insane, and thought that perhaps her second born was affecting her mother. From then on, Ehlayna would sneak visits with Qhuinn when she could, traveling across the country to see him; she'd use the cover that she was visiting her daughter and other grandchildren. He was her favorite.
Lohstrong kept hoping that Qhuinn's eyes would change...but they never did. They never would. And upon realizing this, Lohstrong distanced himself, and the rest of the family, from Qhuinn. He was permitted to live in their house in New York, but he was not welcome as part of the family. When Ehlayna died, her daughter inherited the house and everything in it. The family moved to London when Qhuinn was eleven.
Qhuinn tolerated the neglect because he didn't know any better. It hurt to a powerful extent but there was nothing he felt that he could do. At age twelve, when he got his letter to attend Hogwarts, he was overjoyed...and his parents obliged just to shut him up. They were only kind when there was something in it for them. When they could get him out of the house, unseen by their wizard and aristocratic muggle friends alike. He was their embarrassment.
