MARLON cooper DELANEY
Slytherin | Fifth Year | Seer
[Profile][/center]
Believed that he was a Muggleborn for a large portion of his life, Marlon is in actuality a descendant of a long line of Squibs. Ever since he was young, he has been plagued with visions. Fearful that others would lock him up if they were to know of his unusual ability, Marlon tends to keep to the background and has made watching other people a pastime. Due to his believed background, Muggleborn make Marlon very nervous since he believes that they would be able to recognize his ancestry, and as such, he tends to avoid them at all costs. For the most part, Marlon comes off as a callous and creepy sort of fellow. He is greatly drawn towards those with power (or perceived power); in fact, any sort of person who could ensure that he does not continue the rest of his life in current economic status in poverty.
In terms of his Sight, Marlon's abilities are moderately limited in comparison to full and trained Seer. He can see the distant past with relative frequency and occasionally he can see the very close future. For the most part, he tries to minimize the devastating effects of the visions he sees, or at least he tries to and as inconspicuously as possible. If he were ever attributed to such a thing, Marlon would vehemently deny it and kick a cat (because he hates cats).
FRIENDS: It isn't entirely certain if there is even possible for anybody to be friends with Marlon. He doesn't like people getting close to him. The idea that other people can get to know him and eventually discover his terrible secrets absolutely terrifies him. So he tends to keep people at a distant. The only people who are even remotely close to being called a friend are those groups of powerful people that Marlon latches onto. To those very select few, Marlon is an animal lover. But otherwise, very little is actually known about Marlon. (I am open to the idea of secret friends if you're not one of the wealthy and/or powerful people and the character is compatible with Marlon.)
ACQUAINTANCES: This is a large portion of the world. However, since his visions often have very little to do with himself, Marlon tends to try and help the people in his visions if he deems necessary (which he usually does).
ENEMIES: This is the portion of the world that isn't a complete stranger to him. There would necessarily be a few of these due to the people he tends to hang around. Marlon doesn't make himself out to be a nice, fluffy type of guy. His sarcastic, caustic and loner demeanor does very little to attract people to him.
LOVE INTERESTS: Seeing as how Marlon isn't very good at attracting girls... this could be interesting... =)
FAMILY: I would love you forever if someone would make/volunteer to be Marlon's wizard family. Refer to the wanted ad.
