the factfile[/font]
Height: 6’1”
Build: Two long slash scars (one on his ribs, one on his arm). Possibly the neatest facial hair in the world. Works out.
Wand: He's on his third now, because someone (Dacian) keeps breaking them. This one's made of Poisonwood and Chimera scale. Coloured black with silver decorations; possibly the evilest looking wand ever. Very powerful, good at curses and destruction, but not as suited for fine work and don't even try using it for healing or divination. (So, how obvious is it that Silas was pissed as hell when he bought this one?)
Patronus: Octopus, but he can’t cast it anyway, so moot point.
Boggart: Dementors. Nasty little freaks that they are.
Dementor: Thinking Jacaranda had been brutally murdered.
Amortentia: Pricey booze and Jacaranda’s hair and perfume in a non-stalky way. Not his fault. She drugged him with love potion and there seem to be lingering effects.
Nicknames: Si, Rosier, Rosie, or Sir or Boss if you’re a minio— err, employee.
Abilities: Very accomplished at occlumency, passable at legilimency.
Clothing Style: Expensive. Why have money if you can’t flaunt it to anyone in your immediate vicinity? He usually wears suits at work, but even when he’s dressed down he’s still sharp. Lately he’s taken to also wearing an old crucifix to stop the resident vampire Dacian trying to kill him. (It’s a persistent problem.)
Other: He’s a tad farsighted (yeah, evil needs reading-glasses), left handed, and in pretty good health thanks to a ton of medical potions for that alcohol problem he totally doesn’t have. >.>
[/ul][/size]the biography
Siblings: Nathaniel Rosier, unfortunately.
Relatives: The Malfoy’s and Greengrass’s on his father’s side. There’s some Bosnian, American and French around there too. Si’s a mutt.
Children: He lost count. Two marriages and a buttload of one-night-stands come back to haunt you.
Other Important Figures:
Dacian: What’s a bit of
Jacaranda Mulciber. His accountant, who once drugged him with Amortentia because she’s an idiot.
Pets:
Pensieve:
Yes, I know the history doesn't match the year. It USED to, then some jokers [read: Ann] changed the board year and I couldn't be fucked to change his entire history ages after he'd already been accepted.
Silas was born to a pureblood death-eater family in 1989. His mother didn’t agree with the whole kill-the-muggleborns shebang, so she decided the best way to deal with her husband’s idiotic ideals was to constantly be drunk enough that everything was lovely. Silas helped as much as possible by being a brat of a kid until alcohol-poisoning was finally the end of old Laura Rosier in 2000.
Thankfully for him, Hogwarts agreed fine with Silas. Plenty of kids to bully and once you found out how to avoid the teachers it was smooth-sailing. The real fun started in his 5th year when the Battle of Hogwarts arrived to liven up the place. His father and older brother even showed up to help Voldemort. Talk about a family reunion. Silas fought with them until Potter got himself killed, and thinking it was all done, Silas slipped off to Hogsmeade to loot. By the time he got back Potter was now un-dead, Voldemort was toast, his brother had died too, his Dad was in cuffs, and... Wait, what? How the hell did THAT happen?
Silas was promptly shipped off to the U.S of A where he unsuccessfully tried his hand at a few jobs. Bosses don’t seem to like it when you wake up in the gutter then show up with a killer hangover. So then he tried Auror training, which worked out fine for a bit before they kicked him out of that too for being a reckless twit. Finally, he managed to get a job bouncing at a nightclub, and thus the next chapter of his life began.
The club was owned by a criminal group hoping to be the next big thing after Voldemort had proved to be as effective as a fat asthmatic running up a mountain. Silas signed up, and for the next nine years his history gets harder to trace than Abe’s non-existent sex-life. Safe bet that whatever he was up to probably broke enough laws to make a lawyer cry. Either way, he got rich, got married (twice), and everything was looking peachy. Which means it didn’t last.
See, (occasionally) Aurors aren’t entirely incompetent. Si got wind a take-down was planned, so he did what any loyal dogsbody would: he stole some business designs and leapt back to England so he could set up a backup-plan. He spent the rest of the year making sure his ties to the organisation were as sketchy as possible while secretly zipping between countries to oversee the making of his new club in London. Silas was back in the U.K the exact morning before the Aurors struck and laughing all the way to the bank.
Since then, Silas has been successfully staying one step ahead of karma and mocking it mercilessly with a massive string of business successes. He’s got three licensees to his name on top of the original London club and a luxury home in Hogsmeade away from the muggle riff-raff.
These days, he mostly just lords over it all. Don’t even try and deny it: you would too if you earned millions of dollars a year.
UPDATES since the RP started ::
13/Nov/2024: Pisses off Dacian, thus starting a love-affair which is probably going to result in him warring against vampires for the rest of his life.
25/Dec/2024: Older brother revealed not as dead as first thought.
14/Jan/2025: Put under Love Potion by his accountant Jacaranda Mulciber. Because apparently being rich means sometimes you attract people crazier than you are.
26/Jan/2025: Original Scores in Leicester Square finishes reconstruction as a Casino. Others to follow suit.
02/Feb/2025: Killed two Hogwarts students ( RIP August Jensen & Scotty Kovac) to create a Horcrux. Because he can. Trust me, epic plot was epic.
14/Feb/2025: Gets kidnapped (yes, by Dacian), and manages to detox from the potion. Is not pleased.
4/Mar/2025: Out of hospital after kidnapping ordeal.
[/ul][/size]the inner workings
Dislikes: Authority figures, the cruciatus curse (if you’re going to torture someone, you might as well be creative), muggles, negotiation, not being in control, the cold, snow, children, anyone who thinks they’re better than him, people who argue, vampires, whatever happens to be pissing him off this very second.
Quirks and Habits: Wears the timepiece of his watch under his wrist instead of the top, writes on his desk so he won't forget stuff (the ink comes off, what does it matter?), writes personal reminders backwards (a la Da Vinci), twirls his wand like a baton when his hands aren’t doing better (because baton-twirling is real manly) and he also might be slightly OCD about closing any ajar doors.
Mirror of Erised: Immortality (check), more money, more power (MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH)
In Depth Personality: Oh, you thought I was joking back there when I called him a psychopath, didn’t you? Well, surprise. You might know the term better as ‘sociopath’ but whatever you want to call it, Si’s a bonafide headcase.
First, let’s clear up some myths, shall we? Number one, all psychopaths don’t just run around murdering people. Okay, maybe Silas does a little bit, but the majority can live (relatively) normal lives. They’re also not crazy, so if Count Chocula tells you that you need to kidnap the President, good news: you’re not a psychopath. Bad news: you are batshit insane.
So, what are psychopaths? (Aside from bastards that is.) In short: they don’t feel emotion properly, limited to only immediate responses to their environment. So they can be irritated at screaming kids and curious at new toys, but never feel hope, sadness, true joy, fall in love, or form even basic emotional bonds with other human beings. They also can’t feel guilt or remorse and don’t have any form of conscience. Oddly, they can’t feel fear either, have a very high pain tolerance and aren't overly affected by negative reinforcement.
As for Si? He’s everything a rich bastard should be: ambitious, arrogant, social, confident, easily bored and ruthless when the need calls for it. As long as he thinks he’s in charge (control issues ahoy) he’ll continue acting like he knows what it means to be cheerful and you’ll be in no trouble. He’s gotten very good at this ‘pretending to have feelings’ thing from a lifetime of practice, so betting on his poker face isn’t a good idea.
His sense of
You'd also be forgiven for thinking he's damn near paranoid. His house and office are locked up tighter than Fort Knox, he has the most oddly specific security measures in place. Blasting a curse when caught by surprise is practically reflex and if he's not second-guessing your motives he must be drunk off his arse. It turns out that avoiding the law and even badder bad guys than you for years on end tends to leave its mark.
One last thing needs to be cleared up: Silas isn’t an alcoholic. Anyone who has told you so is a liar. The shaky hands, headaches, nausea, fast heart rate, palpitations and sweating that occur if he hasn’t had a drink in a few hours is not connected with alcohol withdrawal symptoms and is merely a longstanding virus. The fact he needs a drink the minute he wakes up to help with his ‘virus’ doesn’t indicate anything. He doesn’t have physical tolerance; he’s good at holding his liquor. That vampires have been known to get drunk off his blood alone even when he looks sober is coincidental. The doctors prescribing him with potions for alcohol damage don’t know what they’re talking about. What do they know? They’re just doctors. LOOK AWAY, THERE’S NOTHING GOING ON HERE.
UPDATES ::
21/Dec/10: Remember when I said psychopaths couldn’t feel love? Turns out they can if you induce it with magical love-drugs. Thanks Jacaranda! He's off it now, although it seems there might be one or two lingering effects from such a massive brain-rewiring. More on that as it develops.
