Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

This is Locke
#1
Locklyn MacCoinnich
39 | UCHB | Ravenclaw Class of '75 | Auror | Seven
A cheerful spirit, Locke never seems to take anything seriously and always has some kind of joke on hand. And he's been this way since Hogwarts where he garnered a reputation for coming up with prank spells and a growing tally of detentions. Now, years later, Locke isn't society's shinning star by any means. He's carried his reputation as a rake a bit longer than the average upper class man and used to take his mistress with him to events until she died in childbirth in 1889. Since then he's carried out his affairs in slightly less public ways though hasn't really changed. No, what he is more known for is his choice to take in his three bastard children four years ago.

FRIENDS. He has been fest friends with Ozymandias Dempsey since their first year and is mostly found in circles of UC men who frequents gambling, opium dens, and underground parties but could know someone from school, work, or more normal society events. He's a pretty pleasant personality and unless your don't like the cheerful type or he offends your sensibilities he is probably pretty easy to get along with.

COWORKERS. Locke started auror training later than traditional when his parents threatened to cut him off unless he cleaned up his act. Getting a job as an auror was a bartering act to turn his family's attention away from his lifestyle. and was quickly in over his head however in the time it took to complete his training he has come to actually love the job even if he makes light of it saying he just took the post of the action. You may however hate him as he does anything in his power to pawn off his paperwork to literally anyone else.

HURLS. Both open to short and long-term unofficial things and actual marriage hurling. While the death of his mistress did sort of put him off his sleeping around lifestyle for a while he has since resumed but not necessarily at the same frequency and not with anyone long-term as he's a bit reluctant for emotional attachment again. However want to and what happens can always be two different things? Additionally with family pressure to get married and his kids getting older it has occurred to him that have a mother around would be useful so he is looking to marry preferably uc though he realizes he can't be too picky and isn't looking for a love match out of it. Though he still hopes for one.

Regardless of official or not, Locke is quite romantic and very much the type to spoil his lover with gifts and be publicly affectionate.

OTHER. While he wasn't actually active with it, on paper he was Oz's campaign manager and as such has probably curated the image he is into politics even though he thought the whole thing was a joke and would only last three days. But now that Oz was actually elected he feels obligated to continue to offer support professionally/socially. Maybe someone see him as a direct line to the minister? Or something else?

I'm also open to pretty much everything else. He is kinda my free for all.

Aside from obvious Lycoris things, Desiderius Morgan is also friends with Ozy (and Endymion) and could reasonably be friends with Locke as well!


#5
Obvious Sina things, Ivy Sandow is neutral about him, could be friendly with Elliot Carmichael

Francesca McKinnon complains about him often but would also definitely sleep with him in the auror offices after hours if the opportunity presented itself.

Trystan Selwyn and Yassine Bensouda would probably both get on with him well! And could use pals.

Ester Montgomery is often found at underground parties and that kind of thing.

& I obvs have Dempseys: Phyri has as little patience for him as she does for Oz, lol, and treats him like an annoying bonus brother. Endymion would be friendlier but doesn't really approve of blatant rakishness xD

He is offended. He thinks he is great. But he still thinks highly of her as a coworker at least.

I can start something for Lycoris and being friends with Desi seems like a very likely thing with the personality/social overlap and potential runins at the ministry!

I would be thrilled to figure out how Locke and Sina get along. I think on surface level he would flirt with her but it would only be surface level and wouldn't actually mean anything by it other than friendly intentioned annoyance. Friends' wives are off the table. I'm sure they run into a bit with how often Locke and Oz see each other.

For Ivy, if it is something you might be interested in, Locke would have been an auror long enough to have mentored her for her third year?

And for Elliot we could always toss them in a thread and see how they get along?

Let me get back to you on that once I decide if Locke draws a line with coworkers (either ministry at all or just same department). I'm not sure. But he would at least surface flirt.

Ohh the Trystan Locke dynamic could be very fun. Locke probably sees in him what he could have been if his father had forced the marriage card. Or still could be.
I could see him being friendly with Yassine!

Oh I can def see Locke heavily flirting with Ester at first but I think he has very conflicting feelings for her due to the whole leaving her son thing if he knew who she was.

Yesssss I think Trystan is jealous of how Locke has ended up lol xD

And I would be very into Ester confronting her own conflicting feelings about abandoning her kid, so if Locke can make her do that by maybe talking about his own or something I'm sooooo there for that

Christabel is an obvious one! Not sure if she counts as a 'friend' or not, but probably does since she doesnt dislike him, she just think's he a bit of an eejit. She probably thinks he's a bit of an idiot - like she does her brothers.

She does low key respect his decision to take in his children, as poorly as society thinks of it. She would prefer he had kept it in his pants, but he hasn't abandoned the kids, so he gets points for that. She does buy 'treats' like toys and books for the kids, more so since Victor died. She doesn't have kids, and nieces and nephews are looking DISTANT, so they are sort of the closest she has.


Vera - he probably knows him from the less salubrious parts of society, but he won't know her. Some of her 'masquarade' parties he might have attended, tend to be drinking and drugs related.

Isis - he might be aware of her since she does bare-knuckle fighting and is a common enough sight in the underground boxing circuit.

Hey Tristian still has a few years on him. It could very well still be in his future. Locke's dad is still very unhappy.

Omg yes. I feel like Locke is the parent that never shuts up about their kids if they can find any sort of window. I'm sure we can find a way for it to come up.

In regards to work, if they were around when he started then they probably would have picked up he was doing solely because his family forced him to and he thought being an auror would be a lot of thrills. He has since then actually come to like his job and is quite good at it but is probably a royal pain in the butt to his bosses because of his avoidance of paperwork. That and he proably isn't someone everyone enjoys working with.

Hmmm I'd say acquaintances in the sort of we'll talk if we run into each at events or at the club but he seems a bit to proper for Locke to like as an aqual friend. Unless Locke interacts with Cal just to please his dad because he thinks Cal is the type of friend his dad would like.

For Phie we can throw them in a thread and see how they do? And reapproach Irene when she is more ya know aware.

I LOVE the idea of Locke as Ivy's mentor. She is now defensive of him. Also Sina probably puts up a front of being annoyed by the flirting but clearly enjoys the banter?? Like the Elliot idea, too!

I'm down to thread any of them - any immediate desires?

We have the Tabi thread already, but I think (at least in his app it matches) that he and Quin and Mason were all in the same year? Wrong class obviously, but Quin would have been friendly. Mason would have been Polite.

Eugene Scamander and Nigel Yarwood are my only ministry tributes. I think that's it, unfortunately XD Eugene is friends with Kit's Desi, which I guess is already and extension, so an extension of an extension? lol
