Name: OCHOA, Alejandro Tomas
Wanted Position: Professor of Wandless Magic
Abilities: Apparition, Wandless Magic
History: What's the fun in revealing everything now?
What one does need to know about Alejandro is that he is twenty-six year old Puerto Rican born and raised on the island, and has a five year old daughter, Mayra. He got his wizarding education at Bermuda Academy of Alternative Studies and studied at its companion program, Bermuda Academy of Extended Studies. For those unacquainted with the academy, BAAS/BAES is located in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle out of the ruins of the city that made up the legendary lost island Atlantis, and is the only magic school in the Caribbean. He worked at BAES for several years as a researcher, part of a team that was seeking a cure for Lycanthropy; each member contributed their own specialty, Alejandro's being Wandless Magic.
Recently, his colleagues became worried for Alejandro, noticing that his obsession with his research was affecting his health for the worse. Their solution: a change in scenery and the chance to experience something new.
Thus, he was "recommended" -i.e., forced against his will- by his colleagues for a indefinite transfer to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, under the "suggestion" that he take up a position there until his colleagues decided he was healthy enough to return.
Physical Description:
Alejandro's appearance can be summed up in these two words: worn and unwell. He stands at 5'10", weighing in at 142 lbs.--unhealthily thin for his medium frame, and it shows. He has a gaunt appearance, with dark circles underneath his icy blue eyes, and skin that would normally be a light caramel color if it did not have sickly pale tint to it. He has thick, wavy hair that is jet-black in color, with premature streaks of gray on the sides.
Alejandro’s outfits pretty much always consist of the same thing. Besides robes, he wears long pants, a long sleeved button-up shirt, a tie, a vest and dress shoes. For the pants, vest and tie, the colors are dark shades of greens, blues, grays, purples, browns and blacks. The long sleeve shirts are often lighter colors to compliment the darker ones, but is usually white. Dress shoes are brown or black. Very rarely does he wear shorts, t-shirt, sandals or sneakers, but it does happen and curiously enough, the entire outfit is usually in light colors.
Personality: Strong-willed, no-nonsense, ambitious. When one talks to Alejandro, he is polite but not necessarily friendly; after all one can dislike someone but be civil to them to keep up appearances. Not that he is the type of person that will hate someone who they’ve just met—he is just very distant. What is obvious to observers is that it seems difficult for him to hold conversations with others, for he appears to perpetually irritated and distracted—as if he was carrying a great weight on his shoulders. This makes him seem cold, which may distance people from him. He does have a soft side, especially when it comes to his daughter. To many, it may seem that he is very strict with her, but he is really just overprotective and doesn’t want her to get hurt.
Other:
- Wand: Palmwood, Chupacabra Spine, 13 1/3 inches, Rigid
- For those who are able to detect it, Alejandro's scent is not that of a human, but of a wolf...
- Takes his daughter everywhere with him unless it is absolutely necessary
- Is determined to learn Legilimency and Occlumency, though will not reveal why.
- English is his second language--Spanish is his first. However, he speaks English very well, and is understandable despite his accent.
