Appearance:

General | Nico stands at five feet, six and a half inches and has some room to grow. He has a sort of athleticism to his build but one would not describe him as muscular. He has dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. His hair is typically kept short and is wavy with a tendency to curl when it gets even the slightest bit too long. His skin is light brown owing to Puerto Rican descent that comes from his mothers side of the family.

Deportment | Tends to carry himself with a sort of relaxed confidence.

Fashion | Tends to wear more muted colors. Nothing that really stands out against other boys of his class. Fashion is not something that stays on the forefront of his mind.

Scent | A bit of a woody scent.

Distinguishing Characteristics | A sizeable beauty mark on the right side of his face.

Face Claim | Michael Cimino

History:

1877
Birth Nicodemus was born to Mordecai and Maria Dursley. He is their first born.

1878-1882
Childhood Nicodemus has a rather average childhood. It is happy but nothing that anyone would find too notable. 1879 sees a sister being born and then a little brother in 1882. Life is good for the growing family.

1883
Tragedy & Upheaval Mordecai and Maria die abruptly. The kids are sent to live with their paternal uncle and his family. There is further upheaval when they all move to a place called Irvingly. Six year old Nicodemus can sense the resentment this causes in one of his cousins. Dealing with this along with grief is a bit much for the Dursley children all around, even if they don't fully comprehend what is happening.

1884
First Signs Nico does not exactly further endear himself to his new mother figure when his first signs of magic result in him causing the floral print on her newly purchased curtains to turn into actual flowers.

1885-1887
Haziness The next couple years pass in a sort of haze for Nicodemus. He makes neighborhood friends and spends most of his time outdoors. By now his grief has also become a sort of haze. He remembers his parents but not vividly and it remains that way to this day.

1888-1889
First Year Nicodemus goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw. He spends most of his first year making friends and getting to know his schoolmates. He tries out for the Quidditch team but does not make it. It is suggested that he join the Flying and Quidditch Club and try again the next year.

1889-1890
Second Year Having developed a preference for the Beater position, he is mildly disappointed to find the positions filled. He tries for Chaser but doesn't get it as his skills are now more of an asset to being a Beater than being a Chaser.

1890-1891
Third Year Beaters are banned in Hogwarts games which is incredibly frustrating in one Nicodemus Dursley's opinion. He complains about it constantly to one of his best friends.

1891-1892
Fourth Year With the Beater position no longer banned, Nico takes it upon himself to try out again. It looks like all that practice in Quidditch and Flying club finally paid off because he secures the position. Convincing Uncle Dursley to let him buy a new broom is another behemoth of a task though. He does not succeed initially and has to play on borrowed brooms from the school supply.

1892
Summer Nicodemus's uncle finally agrees that Nico can buy himself a broom. The catch is that he has to earn the money himself through odd jobs and the like. Nico feels more than up to that task so he agrees.

Personality:

Extrovert. Confident. Intelligent. Ambitious. Believes he is cautious but he is actually rather reckless and prone to being impulsive.

Other:Has been in the flying, quidditch, leisure sports & potions clubs since first year. Joined dueling club in his second year.
Takes Ancient Runes, Ancient Studies & Divination as his electives.
Sample Roleplay Post:

It was another Hogsmeade Market day so Quin had made his way from the Forbidden Forest that he resided in to High Street. He was guided along by his ever dutiful kneazle. He set up his booth and was soon selling off the herbs and produce that he had harvested for todays market. Most of his clientele were regulars that knew what to expect from him. Others tended to be put off by the opaque nature of his eyes and didn't trust that a blind person could do just as well a job gardening and farming as anyone else.

Eamon tended to do a good job of protecting his owner. It was not adverse to friendly pats and snacks, either. Which honestly helped Quinlan save on feeding the large feline. It probably kept some of the customers coming around as well since Quinlan was hardly the epitome of friendly customer service.

He stroked the kneazles fur and stood when it meowed. "Who?" Quinlan asked - talking to the kneazle, not any of the people around. The kneazle mewed again as if in answer. "Ah, Miss Potts." It was about as much of a 'friendly' greeting as anyone could expect out of him. He somewhat knew the girl from her occasional presence at the Market. "With the Coming Out ball coming so soon, you must be busy with orders." He knew she was from a florists shop which he could somewhat appreciate. He might no longer be able to see flowers but he remembered what they looked like and he could still smell their wonderous scents.
