This RP is the backstory for one of my school RP characters, Professor Doyle Branxton. I find it intriguing that he was a Slytherin, yet he was very much the goody two shoes. I'm guessing he was placed in Slytherin due to his ambition but, I really don't know all that much about him and would like to explore his history a bit more. I get to know my characters best through RPing with others so, I hope some of you will join me in the RP. Since this RP will take place slightly after the time of Harry Potter, I'm looking for mostly made-up characters, though some of the professors may or may not still be around (we can decide those details later as I don't anticipate the professors playing major roles).

The year is 2035 (39 years after Harry & Voldemort perish in their epic battle of good versus evil). It is Doyle Branxton's final year at Hogwarts and he is Head Boy. Interestingly enough, it is also the final year for a Hufflepuff girl (Nora Leiden) and a Gryffindor boy (Kobus Hendrik).

Note for those who follow the school RP: Zizhen would be a second year, Devine would be a first year, Hutchinson would be a 3rd year, and Yarns would be a fifth year.

I'm not sure how this RP will play out since it's a simple plot: Doyle's life and friends in his seventh year. I suspect he had several close friends and they didn't necessarily all have to be in Slytherin house. This probably caused some contention between himself and his housemates so, there's room for people to chose whether they want to be a friend or foe. Remember, he's a Slytherin, but he is rather prim and proper (or maybe that's just what we think

)

Please don't be intimidated. I'm hoping to include some regular members in this RP, not just my staff buddies, though I'm sure they're going to join up (or, I hope). So, jump in if you'd like to play along. If you'd like to join but, are having trouble coming up with a character, post anyway and we'll work something out.

Name: Doyle Branxton
Year: 7th
Birthdate: March 8, 2018 (so he's 17 at the start)
Favorite Classes: Potions & History of Magic
Least Favorite: Charms
Activities: Head Boy
House: Slytherin

Looks: Doyle is six feet tall with black hair and blue eyes. He is a medium build and wears glasses. His appearance is always neat and tidy and it's a wonder he can even come out of herbology looking spic n' span.

Personality: Doyle is calm and quiet. He has a few close friends. Most people mistake his quiet, thoughtfulness for being shy. Despite this seeming shyness, he is well suited to prefecting though, he would prefer to listen in silence rather than participate in scuffles and arguments. He is very studious, excelling in all his classes, even though he doesn't particularly like charms (I'm not sure why not, yet). I see Doyle as being rather Percy-ish when it comes to his duties as head boy and being respected as such, though he's not quite as stuck up as Percy tends to come off.

History: There was some muggle blood a few generations back in Doyle's family, but there are few wizarding families without such interminglings at some point so, for all intents and purposes, he is a pureblood. Doyle was always interested in seeing how things worked, even as a young child. He displayed the typical signs of magical abilities in his youth and was, of course, given admission to Hogwarts.

It took him a while to make friends since he was sorted into Slytherin house and had seemingly nothing in common with his housemates. Despite efforts on the staff's part to promote inter-house relations, the other three houses were still wary of anyone in Slytherin house. Most of his friendships were formed with people from other houses, causing a further rift between Doyle and his housemates. Despite this rift, he was given the post of prefect in his fifth year, a duty he took to heart.

He is now a rather ambitious seventh year student and head boy to boot. He has aspirations of gaining employment with the Ministry of Magic and, as such, is studying hard for his NEWTs.

Bren over here isn't to fond of it." She told him as she lazily started to play with Bren's hair. "If fact, apparently I'm supposed to be bait. I'm just so thrilled with that idea." She said sarcastically with a smirk.

Fabian smiled sheepishly at Kailee, "thanks dear". Wrinkling his face at what brennen wanted to do with her, he sulked into a seat facing kailee. "Neither am I, if you want the truth, i always thought bren was gonna get it" he replied playing with the cushion fabric. "Ah, a bait" he continued adding a mischevious grinn to his face. "Thats a good plan for starters, is that why your all dressed up, because you sure look stunning girl" fabian added as he stretched then leaned back placing his hands behind his head sending kailee flirting glances. He never understood why slytherin ended with the prettiest girls.

Fabian chuckled at how serious Brennen was taking this, " My summer went alright, had to help dad around the house." he replied rubbing his chin " i also got a chance to play quidditch which was supereb". Fabion then showed brennen his new, more enhanced biceps " i was also able to develop these" with a big accomplishment grin stuck on his face. "how was your summer cooper" fabian asked as he lowered his arm.

"I think Kailee looks cute with her hair all messed up," Ash teased the girl, "bait is such a harsh sounding term, though," he chastised.

"Hey Clark!" Ash greeted the Slytherin keeper. He hoped the boy wouldn't get into too much Quidditch talk. It was an alright sport as it goes, but Asher had never been one for athletics. He rolled his eyes in amusement as Clark flexed his biceps and flirted outrageously with Kailee. Ash casually leaned over and stuck a well placed elbow in her side.

"It's okay" Emil-Owich said and shrugged. He was just glad that he wouldn't have to ask Clara out. When she mentioned the foortrolley, the boy remembered why he had exited his compartment in the first place. Back then he just wanted peace and quiet, and now he was linking with a slytherin girl... "Let's go" he grinned and set foot towards the trolley...

Mad Eye Touz · 07-14-2006, 01:30 PM

"I think I'd actually like to try and find a quieter one with less boys. But the one just past it should do." Clara waved her fingers at Coop and his posse as they passed their compartment. Arriving at a less full compartment, Clara dropped his arm and pulled out her notebook. No need for show anymore. "You've been fabulous," Clara said, not even looking up as she was already busy writing in her notebook. "I look forward to our date. Go and take care of the firsties now. They need a good role model." Clara looked up to him, picked a piece of lint from his robes, gave him a pat and left him in the hall.

*gone till Sunday* <33

Kai smiled at Ash and tickled his ribs when he elbowed her. She laughed at Fabi and leaned forward feeling his biceps as he flexed them. "Nice." She said giving him a wink.

"Alright, if my hair is that big of a deal." She flipped her head forward and back running her hands through it to smooth it out behind her shoulders. "Does that look better?" She asked looking at them.

Cassirin · 07-14-2006, 05:44 PM

"Not really," Brennan sighed but he rose and pushed open the compartment door. "Branxton, I need to speak with you. I want to apologize for monopolizing one of your prefects. She missed the meeting, and it's my fault. Will you tell Kail that she isn't going to be removed as prefect? She's very concerned."

Biochemkris · 07-14-2006, 05:50 PM

Date... Doyle stood there staring at the closed compartment door for several minutes before shaking himself awake. He turned and found himself face-to-face with Cooper. "Oh," Doyle replied, actually feeling quite foolish for not having noticed that she hadn't shown up. "Well, no, I don't think it will be necessary to report her absence. We just need to go over a few things before we get to school."

Lissydove · 07-14-2006, 07:19 PM

"Kailee! I didn't know you were missing your meeting for our sake! We would never encourage you to neglect your duties," Ash teased, though he totally did know. Behind Clark's back, he flexed his arms and stuck his tongue out at her. "Maybe you need to catch up with Doyle now," he raised his eyebrows significantly.

"Hey Branxton!" he called to the new head boy. Ash had not seen him since their siblings' wedding.

Crystal skipped down the train corridor with Emil at her side, "I really do not know what has gotten into her. I will have to slap her later, for fun and for the fact she was just rude there. That girl will do anything for a story!"

They reached the trolley and Crystal picked out three packets of Fizzing Whizzbee's. Her addiction. She payed the lady and waited for Emil to supply himself with sugary goodness.

angelwing · 07-14-2006, 07:41 PM

Kailee chuckled at Ash and poked his nose before turning back and nodding to Branxton. "Of course, I understand. I really am sorry about missing the meeting. I just lost track of time." She gave him a smile. "What time would be best for us to go over the things we need to?" She asked him curiously. She attempted to sound as if she really cared.

Emil-Owich bought a pair of Pumkin Pasties, cauldron cakes, chocolate frogs and varoius other sweets.

"Probably will, yeah" he said and then scratched his head. "Well, I'd better get back to my compartment. He thought, still hoping that noone had seated themselves in it...

OOC: Him...

Blackwidow · 07-14-2006, 10:46 PM

Fabian chuckled at Ash's teasings, "Hey" he greated back nodging his pointed nose. Fabion caught a glimpse of ash rolling his eyes, "Common ash, you know you like to touch them biceps" he added wiggling his eyebrows teasingly.

Fabian gave Kailee a flattering grin as she commented on his biceps, "Thanks" he replied puffing his chest masculinley. His face slightly wrinkled as kailee began fixing her hair, staring at her dreamily he replied "You always look good kailee" trying to hide any admiration he had towards her.

Fabian followed cooper with his eyes, as he opened the compartment door calling branxton, just in time to catch a glimpse of clara waving at them. Fabian waved back pondering the thought..Why is clara with branxton?..those two were extreme opposites. Making a mental note to ask bren and ash when their alone again.
As a Branxton figure appeared at the door, "hey there doyle" fabian greeted putting his innocent face on. Then turned back at kailee and asher chuckling at their teasings, "Ouch!.. you missed prefecting duties" said fabian sarcastically still keeping his innocent face, "tut tut tut" he added noisely.
Fabian chuckled inwardly as he heard kailee seriously asking branxton on her duties, trying as hard as he can to hide a smile from emerging on his face, he pulled out a quidditch magazine and hid his face behind it.

"Okay Emil it certainly has been a pleasure walking with you," Crystal rubbed her hands through his hair and set off in the opposite direction. Crystal came to a compartment where another Slytherin boy was seated, "Hello there. i'm Crystal... you are?"

Matthew's thoughts were disrupted by a female voice. He glanced up, and smiled warmly.

'Hey there Crystal. Names Matthew.' He held an outstretched hand to her. 'So hows your summer been?'

Leeness · 07-15-2006, 12:47 AM

She took the hand and placed her bottom on the seat next to Matthew instead of shaking it. "My summer was quite delightful and... well busy. How about yours? Not seen much of you... ever, and I do tend to notice boys a lot."

Amy Tonks · 07-15-2006, 12:53 AM

Matthew blushed as Crystal sat next to him, taking his hand. He wasn't used to talking to such pretty girls.

'Yeah, mines was good. Busy as well. Had to spend about half of it travelling though, and I missed my friends... You go anywhere?'

He laughed shyly. 'Well, I'm a sixth year, so I'm guessing you're in the year above me yeah?' He tried to hide the fact his face was growing a deeper shade of red. Gathering himself, he smiled again. 'I think I've heard of you before. A friend who used to be at Hogwarts mentioned you once or twice I'm sure.'

Leeness · 07-15-2006, 12:56 AM

"Well I am thee Crystal Zitsburg. I am popular. Everyone knows me. I just need to get to know... everyone," she said smiling and almost bouncing on her seat. "I didn't travel anywhere, I was helping my Mum work in St.Mungo's. Where did you travel to?

Amy Tonks · 07-15-2006, 01:13 AM

Matthew smirked to himself as he listened to her. But the energy vibrating from her was refreshing, especially after having to live with his parents for so long.

'You're mum works at St. Mungos? Cool! Anything exciting happen there?

He paused thinking. 'Basically, toured Europe. Then a part of Canada. I got home for my last week.' He shrugged, then stretched, making himself more comfortable.

Leeness · 07-15-2006, 01:20 AM

"Hardly, having to take care of ill people. Ew, not my choice of career thank you very much. I only did it as a summer job for money and because my Mum could get me it." Crystal smiled, "Oh, that sounds like fun! enjoyable?"

Amy Tonks · 07-15-2006, 01:24 AM

Matthew laughed. 'Take it you had a fun time then huh? What do you wanna be then? Saying that, money is money I guess. I never got the chance to make it.'

He pulled a face. 'It was ok I guess. I hadn't wanted to go in the first place, but I got into it. My mum had to go on business, and we just stayed and toured. Visited a few relatives, all that stuff you gotta do, you know? I saw some really great sights though!'

Leeness · 07-15-2006, 02:43 AM

Crystal smiled, "Well I would love to be a model for Witch Weekly! or a photographer. One of two would be awesome and thrilling! How about yourself?"

"Travelling can be dull, unless its that Muggle Disney world. That is always entertaining," Crystal said thinking back on memories of the rollercoasters and such.

Amy Tonks · 07-15-2006, 04:25 AM

'You know, I could really see you being one of them. The dull office life really wouldn't suit you', Matthew stated. He thought briefly, then shrugged.

'I'm not too sure. My Dad wants me to go into something to do with magic, my Mum would like me to become a doctor like her- even though she doesn't really mention it. I guess I'm still deciding.' He paused, noticing he was starting to reveal more about himself. He didn't usually do that so soon, but he liked Crystal's presence.

'You know I've never been to Diney World! Its the one place I've never been taken... Is it as good as they all say then?'

Biochemkris · 07-15-2006, 12:30 PM

Doyle felt like he was missing something. It was a feeling he was very familiar with, being the butt of many a joke he was not privvy to. "Hello," he greeted Smithson. It was odd seeing him over the summer at the wedding which made it somewhat awkward greeting him now. He nodded a quick greeting to Clark before turning back to Sommers. "I'm free now, if you want to go over the new information and begin a patrol," he said.

angelwing · 07-15-2006, 05:33 PM

"Now would be great!" She said smiling. She turned back to the guys. "Alright now don't cause to much problems while I'm not here." She smirked and winked at them playfully before turning back to Doyle and motioning to the door. "After you."
