Character: Killian Aodhán Claxton

Quick Facts:
Age: 17
House: Slytherin, 7th year
Grad Year: expected to graduate in 1894
Class: Upper
Reputation: 9
Blood/Race: Pure
Occupation: Student and Chaser for the Slytherin Quidditch team

Quick intro:
Meet Killian Claxton, an Irish wizard born into grand wealth and burdened by crushing expectations. He's a confident Slytherin who exudes determination and mischief in every step. A master at concealing emotions and meeting expectations, this skilled wizard and Quidditch enthusiast is often mistaken for being cold-hearted. In truth, there's a fiercely loyal guy hidden underneath the rough exterior, one wrestling with his own demons and dreams, being pulled in opposite directions on a daily basis.

Needs:
Killian needs it all! Friends, flirts, enemies, and everything in between. If you have a great idea, then I’m (probably) all for it xD I am open to a well-crafted plot as well as a simple one, but I do prefer a dramatic plot of some sort. I am not easily offended, so do not worry about upsetting me if stronger themes are thrown into the mix.

Post a reply here or send me a PM if you’re interested. I will answer as quickly as possible.

On a sidenote, English is my second language, so bear with me if my spelling, phrasing, or whatnot is not always on point.

Friends:
Killian rarely forms strong attachments, but he could use a few close friends who have managed to get under his skin. I am particularly seeking companions for Killian who are either from the Slytherin house like himself, part of the Quidditch team, have roots in Ireland, or otherwise possess a competitive streak and enjoy engaging in banter, as Killian excels at both. The Irish wizard also has a talent for getting himself into trouble, and he needs a partner-in-crime.

Good influences/bad influences:
Killian could use relations that has a positive impact on him as well as bad. On one side, there might be a professor guiding him toward a more righteous path, steering him away from continuing the notorious family legacy. Conversely, there could be someone who fuels his dark tendencies, leading him further down the path towards the dark arts.

Enemies/rivals:
Killian is a hard-working student, ambitious, highly competitive, and quite provocative. He is kind to people when he chooses to be, not because the societal norms tell him to. As a result, he has acquired both enemies and rivals during his upbringing in Ireland and his years at Hogwarts. Let me know if you have a character craving competition or is adept at holding a grudge.

Hurls:
Romance is not the first word that comes to mind when people think of Killian Claxton, still he does have some experience within the area.
Back during his fifth year at Hogwarts, there was a fleeting connection with a girl. Unfortunately, it was short-lived, cut short by the stringent beliefs of his parents - she lacked pure-blood status and was from a rival house. Killian still has feelings for this girl, although he’ll never admit to it. It would be great if someone was up for the plot and had a character that could play his ex.
Otherwise, Killian could be onto something new. Probably not a relationship, but perhaps a lowkey flirt. The perfect plot would be a flirt who could challenge him a bit!

Hello and welcome! I'm afraid I don't have much for you, I have Mason Skeeter the Herbology professor and Hufflepuff HoH!

My only student is a little firstie Ella Grimm who is the brand new seeker for Hufflepuff quidditch team. But her mum played professionally, so he might recognize the name!

Hello! I can offer Gus here as a potential mentor? He’s the current DADA professor and also Irish, having recently just purchased a home to move back.

I can potentially offer @“Juniper Edevane” as a friend, too. Her family is super into the dark arts and she has a lot of fun practicing herself. She was also a Slythie and they overlapped for a few years.

Hullooo! I can offer Charles Whymper who is a couple years younger, but similarly driven.

I also have Fiona Little, the school nurse, should he find himself in the hospital wing.

I have a few characters for you Smile

First, I have Dorian Rosier who is also in Slytherin and plays Quidditch as Keeper, though he's in the year below him. He relates heavily to Killian in the crushing expectations department, and he just lost his father so he's set to inherit it all when he comes of age so the pressure to be head of his family is strong. That being said, he gets it, and maybe they could be friends Smile

Then, I have Amarantha Valenduris who is a Slytherin in the same year as Killian. She's president of the potions club, her grandfather teaches potions, and she also runs a super secret dark arts club called The Nightshade Society. She's a sociopath, fair warning there, but she is likely to play nice with rich and powerful people who could be useful to her. If you want someone to steer him into dark arts, she's your girl.

Francesca Garlick is my next one, in seventh year, but she's a Hufflepuff and also Irish. She's sweet and kind to everyone, and spends most of her time apologizing for her best friend's uppity, gossiping attitude. Even if she and Killian weren't friends, she would still say hello to him in the hall or offer to help him with things. She's just a kind person who he shares classes with Smile

Then, honorable mentions, Bernadette Delacour is the Etiquette Professor, so he'd be in her class, Elijah Hanrahan failed out after his O.W.L.s but was in the year below him in Gryffindor so he might know him in passing, and Autumn Fairfax is my Ravenclaw first year - he'd likely only know her as the reason Ravenclaw has -40 points so early in the year.

My main character is Millie Potts who is a fourth year Ravenclaw, though I'm not sure how they might have run in similar circles yet. She might know of Killian by name and reputation, she's just kind of a quiet bird who keeps to her books and tiny (slowly expanding) circle of friends. If they'd be in similar clubs (Book, Charms or Dueling), Millie would definitely geek out with someone over a shared interest no matter their house, sex or age. If she interests you, even just for a random encounter, I'd be up for anything even not on this list.

This character might be a little more receptive to Killian's personality. Charley quite a bit younger, and resides in Hogsmeade since she no longer attends Hogwarts. She's a street urchin and fends for herself when she's not doing odd-jobs, which also means she likes to be in-the-know about who else around town is into shenanigans or petty crimes. She could easily help or hinder him, or they could simply get on each other's nerves from competition or in a verbal spar. I'm game for anything around Hogsmeade should Killian spend some time there, even something backdated to summertime or on Hogsmeade weekends/Christmas break.

Writer Notes: Charley is a street urchin in both appearance and behavior, unless written otherwise here.
Interactions may reflect Victorian-era morals rather than modern sensibilities; this is allowed and acceptable to this writer.

Hallo! I also unfortunately have very few options as I do not have any students in play atm xD

I have Adrienne Lestrange who used to be in Slytherin, so they'd definitely know each other. It sounds like they'd get on quite well. Adrienne while not 'cold' per se, is not a super open individual right off the bat, so it takes time to get to know her. I have yet to update her history, but the short of it is that Adrienne is part of the Selwyn family here on Charming. She asked her uncle upon her final year at Hogwarts if she was expected to marry quickly, and found out that she wouldn't be forced, but it would be best for her to not delay.

So she struck up a friendship with Cassisus Lestrange. At the same time she heard of his proposal, she also was told that her uncle is _actually_ her father and she and her twin are bastards. This coupled with learning that her twin brother was also in love with a man (not public info) caused her to accept the proposal immediately, despite the fact that she's wanted to go into mid-wifery for a long time. So she'd also relate to Killian being pulled in different directions! She's also extremely competitive at archery and chess, and though she and her brother sometimes compete, she's definitely more competitive at chess than he is, so would probably have loved someone to compete with when she was at Hogwarts!

Mason:
I really like Mason, but I don’t know if Killian would. They’re quite different, but Killian is an ambitious and hard-working student. Maybe he approached Mason for help, possibly under the cover of needing assistance with an assignment. More realistically, he would have been up to something more questionable

Ella:
Already a Seeker in the first year. That would impress Killian! There’s quite an age gap, but Ella’s talented and has a mother who plays professionally, both of which would spark his curiosity. Maybe they have crossed paths at the Quidditch pitch or before/after a game.

Gus:
Yes, being Irish and a skilled wizard, that would definitely earn Killian's respect! I think Gus would make a good mentor for him

Juniper:
For sure, I can see them being friends. They’re both strong characters, into the dark arts and ambitious. Juniper sounds like a challenge, but so is Killian. I’m here for it xD

Charles:
What about a rivalry? I think it’ll be fun seeing them compete since they’re both ambitious but from opposing houses

Fiona:
Absolutely, Killian is an adrenaline junkie with a problematic lack of self-awareness; needless to say, he frequently takes it too far and gets injured. They've probably crossed paths more than once xD

Dorian:
I'm up for it! Dorian seems like Killian's kind of guy. They've got a lot of common ground, so I'm thinking a close friendship?

Amarantha:
Wow, Amarantha’s a lot, but I’m all for it xD I’m sure Killian is as well. She’ll definitely be one to test his boundaries, but I think they’d be a fun challenge for each other!

Francesca:
You had me at Irish. They are far apart personality wise, but I think we could work something out. Afterall, Killian also needs some good influences in his life

Bernadette:
That could be a fun match. I could see her putting Killian through the ringer xD

Elijah:
He could be a friend or possibly a rival, whatever you need! It’s cool he’s a vampire

Autumn:
Yeah, he’d like her. Taking down the rivalling house from the inside xD

Well, if Millie needs a bad influence in her life, then Killian could be just that. Otherwise, we can also do a random run-in, or they could meet through one of the clubs. I haven’t signed Killian up for any yet, but he’d be into the dueling club

Charley:
Charley sounds like a person that Killian would want to know. He’s always testing boundaries and getting himself into trouble, and Charley sounds like a good partner-in-crime xD

Adrienne:
Dang, she’s been through a lot xD But Killian can relate to her, no doubt. Their situations are different, but they’re both fighting to meet family expectations. Also, given that they are both highly competitive, they could have been good friends during Adrienne's time at Hogwarts. Killian likes chess as well, but he would definitely have been up for an archery competition!

Killian Claxton

I think Violetta DeCroix would make a good friend/associate. She is a little younger, being a 4th year, but is slytherin and considers herself one of the quidditch team's biggest fans, attending every match. She is likely to be a positive influence regarding his studies as she wishes to get good grades herself and get her rewards after school.

Okay! Hi! Nice to meet you!

So I have a small handful for you.

Calla Potts is a hufflepuff in his year and chaser and captian for the hufflepuff team. She's MCHB and her family owns a prominent florist shop in Hogsmeade. She and her family have a reputation of being a bit strange in the whimsical dreamy sense. Calla is nice to a fault and gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and would be overly nice to him no matter how he acts towards her as she isn't that competitive off the field.

I also have Rachel Morgan who was a year above him in Gryffindor. She's a lot and a flirt so could be an option for either prior relationship (She's halfblood) or a current flirt.

Isobel Valenduris is a current sixth year gryffindor and a pretty outspoken in regards to her beliefs on politics and feminism and tends to be pretty meh on men unless they are also feminism. She's very ambitious and academically driven and honestly probably would have made a good slytherin as well. So a lot of options here in regards to path depending on how he acts towards women of neutral, friendly, or full blown she hates your rivals.

Serpentine Malfoy is a first year Slytherin and very prim and proper at least in her public presentation. She's also a parselmouth which while isn't common knowledge isn't something she actively tries to hide either. She does hid her pet snake. Due to their age gap I doubt they'd interact to much but I figured I'd throw her out there.

Drusilla Elderberry is his History of Magic professor if he continued to take it in his N.E.W.T.s but is new this year.

Sounds great! Let’s start with a thread between Charles and Killian, and if things go South, then we might have to do another one with Fiona and Killian xD

(October 10, 2023 – 9:55 PM)Violetta DeCroix Wrote:  Killian Claxton

Well, if Violetta is into Quidditch as well, then they’re off to a good start. I could see them celebrating a big win or griping about an embarrassing defeat xD


(October 10, 2023 – 10:40 PM)Rachel Morgan Wrote:  Okay! Hi! Nice to meet you!
So I have a small handful for you.

Calla:
Oh, that’s a tough one. Killian is fiercely competitive and isn't one to make friends with the 'enemy,' but Calla seems like a hard person not to like! I picture Killian starting off provocative, maybe a bit arrogant, but eventually losing that attitude, and despite his better judgement, coming around to her.

Rachel:
For sure, Rachel sounds like a fierce character, and perhaps strong enough to break through those thick walls surrounding Killian. I’m up for a prior relationship!

Isobel:
Okay, there are some commonalities here. Both are opinionated, direct, perhaps provocative? and ambitious. I could see them running into each other at a bar, and it could go one of two ways: either they hit it off, or they argue all night... both scenarios are fine with me xD

Serpentine:
Yeah, the age gap is a limitation, but Killian would be intrigued by the fact that she is a parselmouth. Perhaps they’ve crossed paths in the Slytherin common room.

Drusilla:
That’s the plan, so I’m sure they’ll meet!
