Hogwarts RPG Name:
Draven Kurgan
Graduated |  The Enigma Prognosis
Character Name: Draven Kurgan Character Age: 13 Year in School: Second (technically first) Wand: 11.6 inch Willow wood wand, with a core of a Phoenix Feather Pet: None Physical Description: Draven is an athletic lad, with hazel eyes and long brown hair. More About You (family background, friends, etc.): Basically, Draven comes from a long line of wizards/forgers. However, for many centuries his bloodline did not mix or get involved with wizards of the light or dark. Like many families of Ashbourne, his home village the villagers work with many different trades. Hunting, Leatherworking, Enchanting, and of course Forging. They forge many things, weapons, shields, amulets, rings, wands, staffs, etc. He has a nickname as all the male members of his family does which is "War Machine". But he never uses it because it was name only to be used in combat.
Because of their ability to forge they were often sought out by the Ministry and even Lord Voldemort to join forces and create items of power for them. However, the Kurgan's chose to stay neutral all those years not getting involved in their internal war and strife. But it never stopped the Kurgan's of ensuring that they could protect themselves should they ever be attacked and thus the reason they studied the dark arts in order to defend against them.
However, as the years passed there was a sense of guilt for not intervening and trying to stop Lord Voldemort during his tyranny. And a lot of lives were lost during that time to which the Kurgan's felt guilty. So in order to make up for the past they began to form a friendship with the Ministry, one that would allow the Ministry access to their knowledge of forging and yet allow them to start a legacy of their own in Hogwarts. Draven is the first of his bloodline to attend Hogwarts and thus begins a new chapter for him and his family.
Outside of the magic world Draven is a very gifted guitarist. He actually plays in a band in the nearby city of Stonegate. Although only 13 he has been playing since he was 9 and has come along quite nicely. While he has a lot to look forward too it hasnt all been without a price. While only a 11 he watched his best friend die near his home and was devastated by the loss.
Thankfully, this past summer he was able to meet some friends and even find the girl of his dreams, his future wife. Yes, he is engaged but the marriage will not take place for quite some time but he and his bride to be Taylor Aria Wattsfay have an unbreakable bond and nothing but love for one another. Their parents support the engagement so as long as both finish their time at Hogwarts and are old enough and mature enough to be married.
Aside from future aspirations, Draven loves sports and although he has never played Quidditch he is quite sure he can succeed at the sport and be a great player at Hogwarts. He will be trying out for the team this year as a beater and hopes to make a contribution as soon as possible to the house of Ravenclaw. He has two favorite subjects but one of which he cannot continue learning until later. But those are Ancient Runes and Transfiguration. Other friends he has met over the summer are fellow Eagle Ellie, Gryffindor Kurumi, and Slytherin Trixie Malfoy.
As for his personality, Draven can be stubborn, a prankster, and a very nice guy just dont cross him as he is not afraid to get physical. He loves heavy metal music (especially his band Grey Haven), cats, beautiful scenery, sports, and learning about magic. He is fiercely loyal to his fiance and any friends and family that he has in his life. He is also very respectful to the lores of magical history and appreciates the opportunity to attend Hogwarts.
