History:
Family History |
The Carrow family is an old lineage of Celtic witches and wizards. The family line has had its hands in several business deals over the decades as well as property and secret keeping. People will pay a great deal of money to those who can keep secrets and even more to those who threaten to spill said secrets. They have often seen themselves sticking to powerful allies or families in the hope of bettering themselves and their successors. Morpheus' father was a bit of a different sort in the family, of course, he dealt in the trading of secrets having owned a gentlemen's club as well as several different hotels throughout he gained secrets easily enough. it was when he met Morpheus' mother did he began to see something else in the world it was a combination of love and ambition. Circe Carrow (nee Sallow) was a well-known upper-middle class dressmaker who laced each garment with special enchantments.
At first, the young woman had no interest in marriage, she was content living off of family money while producing the best she could out of her craft. She would often turn her nose up at Demos Carrow thinking him to be too interested in the way people lived rather than his own life. After several years of attempted courting and wild gestures, Circe gave him a chance. The two realized their match was relatively well off and their hobbies were quite similar. The two married not long after and were quick to make an heir. At first there was some feedback from the Carrow family. As they didn’t understand why Demos would marry out of his class, but when the new child came around they quickly changed their tunes. Perhaps it helped that Circe came from a pure blood family as well. Who could say.
1877-1882 | Morpheus was born, the first son to his father's line. With his birth, the family was moved into Hogsmeade following events happening between muggles and wizards. His father was not delighted with the fact and held strong beliefs about how the minister should have acted. Going into hiding was shameful Demos believed wizards should be proud of their lines and a force to be reckoned with. Regardless the family moved.
His father put more of their money into assets as well as a shop where his mother was allowed to display many of her brilliant gowns. Not that she was to work there. Both knew the price that would be put on their name and neither were willing to play that game in a new place of residence. instead, she hired workers and kept her name on the branding. People to man while she did the work at home. Works of art for those who could afford to wear such things.
While Morpheus preferred his mother's personality and motherly affection, he was often forced to stick to his father's side learning what it was like to be a man of the Carrow family.
1882-1887 |
Around the age of 6 Morpheus began following his father out of the city and near their estates where they would address additional profits. He had met a muggle family with not a drop of magic in them. They had a boy around his age who he thoroughly enjoyed climbing trees with until one day he had a burst of accidental magic causing the tree to shed all its leaves. The deal had been dropped and his father had a long discussion about which sort were meant to be true friends and which were just meant as means to gain opportunities. Muggles often being a means to an opportunity.
Morpheus began interacting more with his cousins though he never let anyone truly close to him in fear his father would have choice words for him. He grew more stoic over the years. Morpheus began keeping emotions behind closed doors and thoughts to himself. If there was a true lesson he had learned from his father it was that his secrets were best kept to himself than in the pockets of anyone else.
This meant his family was not to learn of his fascination with magical creatures until after he wound up coming home with different scrapes and scratches having to explain how he got them. It was even more embarrassing when he had explained the day that a horde of pixies he disturbed had hung him upside down for several minutes until he managed to pull his feet free. It seemed he would continue to get into trouble as a way to gain his father's eye especially after his sister was born in 1885.
1888 |
Morpheus receives his letter from Hogwarts. While excited for his new journey he knows he is not allowed to express it in such an outwardly manner. He is told Slytherin is the house of his family and anything less would put confusion on the others of their name be it Carrow or Sallow, father or mother. This puts a slight stress on him, but not by much. Morpheus is determined, he is cunning and ambitious. He would much rather make something of himself than ride on the coattails of his father before him.
The first school year, however, does not go as expected. Yes, he is sorted into Slytherin, but he is assaulted with a routine that is not his. A routine that has uprooted him from his life and his home. It is to make him into a fine gentleman of society, but not one that cares much about personality. At least that is what he believes. Conformity is what society loves the best.
1889-present |
Morpheus gets a better understanding of the works in the castle. He isn't sure he has much in terms of friends, but he does find himself throwing all he has into books and studies to make his parents proud. He finds himself feeling lonely, but not sure how to admit it. His mother often tells him he needs to seek the eye of a lady but he isn't sure that would necessarily fill the void he has. Instead, he attempts to throw himself into classes he would enjoy. Even if his father says a man of their status should be nowhere near magical creatures or anything close to the same sort.
Personality:
Adventurous | Disciplened | Discreet | Proud | Stoic | Pesamistic | Quizzical
Morpheus isn't sure of himself most days, unsure of what his ideas are versus his father's. Currently, he is attempting to make his own name for himself and find out who and how he would be without his father's insistent badgering. He finds himself curious about the nature of others and what makes them tick. He would also prefer not to talk unless given a reason, though if he finds himself friendly enough with a person he may wind up talking too much. He's never been given that outlet.
One thing Morpheus does not lack is pride, he is proud of his work and his efforts. Despite lacking enthusiasm for the way society wishes to conform everyone into certain bubbles he has made himself into a very studious person with grades to match. He knows that if he were to ever cause disappointment it would not be due to his grades, but perhaps of his overwhelming curiosity for everything in the world he is not supposed to want.

Sample Roleplay Post:
Morpheus tried his best to stick to the schedule, be in the common room by this time, and stay out of trouble. Study when you have time and go to classes. It's just he was rather tired of stuffing his nose in a book for the millionth time. The library, while gorgeous, held no intrigue today. Today Morpheus had his mind set to be a little wild. If he was able to get past peeves of course.
"Do you have any idea what trouble you have coming our way," Whispered his dearest friend. At least he assumed he could call the other a friend. It wasn't as if he had many of those.
"Yes. I'm giving you something to brag to all your lady friends about, and I'm giving me a chance to expand my knowledge." Morpheus held his head high before slouching back down once again. His head turned back and forth making sure the coast was clear. "Just think, if we can manage the outskirts of the forest... think of all the tales we could tell." He was already so enraptured by his idea, that any persuasion otherwise was all but not.
It wasn't until he caught sight of that familiar poltergeist that he managed to freeze. His eyes went wide and his skin paled. The poltergeist caught sight of them a smirk pulling at his ghostly lips. "Peeves... Please." Morpheus practically begged, but it was no use.
"STUDENTS OUT OF BED! STUDENTS OUT OF BED!"
"Run!" Morpheus pushed on his friend getting them to finally move and the two of them ran faster than they had before, running far away from the trouble back towards their common room.
