Name: Maximillian Nathaniel Merel
Wanted Position: 5th Year Slytherin Student
Abilities: Water Mage
History: Maximillian grew up in a wealthy family in a richer wizarding community. His parents had nobody jobs at the Ministry. They were both part of the middle-rank there, so that he was able to obtain practically anything he wanted. They were great with their money, and invested properly. However, Maximillian's family was less than connected. His parents were there for him financially, but he was pretty much told to fend for himself, in the world. Of course he wasn't told that verbally, but his parents were less than interested in why he was unsociable as a child, or why he was taking a turn towards sneaking around behind their backs and started becoming more ruthless. It was around when he was around ten or eleven that he began to show the more Slytherin instincts of him. His older brother, by three years, was a Ravenclaw student like his father whereas Maximillian would be a Slytherin like his ruthless yet intoxicating mother. Having her charm, he knew he could use this the same way she could, and started watching her manipulation abilities.
It was in Max's second year at Hogwarts that he realised his abilities as a Water Mage. It was horribly without control, and his abilities were weak. Nevertheless, they were abilities, and rare ones at that. He quickly found a new love in his status as a Mage. He would come to use this like royalty years to come, practicing by the lake in his free time. Maximillian's years went on normally, until after his brothers seventh year, his fourth year, in which Nicolai joined the Ministry of Magic as a low-ranked assistant. Despite being at the bottom of the ladder, his parents were ecstatic, and practically partied. Or at least the would have if that had any liveliness in their bones. The did keep cheering for Nicolai for what seemed to be days though. Maximillian and Nicolai never seemed to get along, as Nicolai was doubtlessly bossy and perfect. He was something that Max could never be, and so a rivalry split the family with an unspoken-of line. Now, Nicolai has moved out of their house, and so Maximillian is much more comfortable, though he tends to shut out his parents whenever possible, and they like it that way just as much.
Physical Description: Maximillian usually wears his robes. Afterall, its Hogwarts, yes? While he does enjoy the comfiness of the muggle-clothing, h also finds warmth in the fluidness of the robes, and warmth from his status of a wizard when wearing them. He wears his Slytherin badge proudly. While some might be a bit embarassed by their status of being in the house most infamous when it comes to leading the produce of the world's villains, Maximillian doesn't think this stereotype is correct. So, the badge can be shown proudly. If one doesn't support his house, the house shouldn't support him, no? Maximillian is also of normal height, if not slightly tall. Being about five feet and ten inches, he's never considered himself immensely tall, though it might be significantly easier to look down on people to look up at others. The mage's hair is of a sandy-blond—brown crossfusion. In the sunlight it is lighter, whereas in the dark it appears more brunette. That could be predictable, though. He wields fierce crystalline blue eyes. They always seem to be a step ahead in a debate, or a fight. However, they are not cold. The mistake of taking intensity and coldness are quite common.
He doesn't have any facial hair, thanks to magical grooming. He tried it once, but didn't feel comfortable, and quickly eliminated it from his skin. He is rather handsome, though not beautiful. He has thin cheeks, showing the angles oh his cheekbones well. He is not skeletal in appearance, though, mind you. While Maximillian seems to be nearly perfect in senses of appearance, he is not under closer inspection. If you spend time with him, his teeth lack perfect arrangement, and seem to have experience less care than the rest of his body. He also isn't very muscular. Additionally, if compared with many other wizards, you would be able to see that he's practically the top of the dime-a-dozen kind of people. In a muggle school he'd be popular for his appearance, and he is at Hogwarts as well, but he's not very good at spells, finding forms of divination and arithmancy (not to mention potions) his forte.
Personality: Like the element he can manipulate, Maximillian is fluid. He can adapt to new situations fairly well, and isn't a stranger to changing for other outcomes. Additionally, also like water, Max can be found as either as kind and inviting as a bubbling brook, or as savages and tearing as a tempest in the Pacific. Either way, he's not as predictable as many people consider Slytherins. That'd be no fun, being completely horrible all the time! Mostly, Maximillian is cunning, and believe in what he believes in to a high degree, finding that nothing else should interfere in his obtaining said goal. For this reason, he's headforward and can be competetive in some aspects.
He can be fun to be around, so long as you aren't a Gryffindork, and if you're not his enemy, you're his friend. A great friend to have, as well, seeing as he can have the bite of, well, a snake. He loves to go out to the lake and preform, feeling that so long as he was born with his gifts, he was going to excercise them fully. Another thing that isn't exactly beneficial is Maximillian's bouts of depression. They usually take on a form of anxiety or sadness, but are rare, and can turn up as anger as well.
