THE BASICS

FULL NAME •

"There's Dylan, there's Soren, and then there's Hitchens. It isn't the worst name ever, but um, it isn't the best name ever? It's just kind of mediocre, like my mum's cooking, er, I mean.. my magical ability. Okay, I'll admit, my mum's cooking is basically rubbish. But, please don't tell her I said that.. the last time I brought it up she threatened to serve me worms next time I came over."

ETYMOLOGY •

"I've never actually thought about what my name means, actually I'll rephrase that - I've never actually cared about what my name means before now. I've seen names being defined before, and the meanings usually turn out to be weird shit. But, Dylan means 'son of the sea'. I don't know what to make of that, does that mean mum did the nasty with the sea? Soren means 'severe'. That's awfully vague, severe what? And, I'm pretty sure Hitchens is just an English surname."

NICKNAMES •

"Dylan's a really straightforward name, but somehow, I've still got nicknames, even if I'm not too fond of any of them. Some people call me Dill, which reminds me of pickles, and I really loathe pickles. If that's not enough, some people want to get cutesy with that horrible pickle name and call me Dilly. And, then, dolts who think their really bloody funny call me Dilly-do.. like a dildo, yep. And, then, once we went to the docks, and I tripped into the ocean.. and, the people who were with me that day call me Waterboy every chance they get. Buut, for the most part, it's just Dylan for me."

AGE •

"The age that's between twenty-one and nineteen. I really can't believe I'm already twenty. It feels like yesterday I was turning fifteen, and I thought that was old. Whoa, I just sounded really ancient. What if I am really old? Holy crap, what if I'm like dad? I might start balding soon."

BIRTHDATE •

"March 17th. Too bad I'm not Irish, right? Don't get me wrong. I still celebrate it with a bang! Well, I've got a really pathetic tolerance for beer.. and, when it's green, it kills me. So, I get wasted, and end up puking on some really pretty girl. Yeah, life's a bitch."

POLITICAL PARTY •

"New Moderate. I think anything more drastic is the world begging for trouble."

OCCUPATION •

"I'm a photographer for the Daily Profit. I love my job, really, but I'd really like to be a freelance photographer. You know, one of those guys who can catch life. But, I suppose it isn't the right time in my life for that."

WAND •

"It's eleven inches. My wand, you perv. It's made with hawthorn, and the core is hippogriff feather. Pretty standard stuff, I'm thinking."

we could be the talk across the town
THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

FACIAL FEATURES •

"I never grew out of looking eight, which really sucks because I have this old aunt who pinches my cheeks every time she sees me and asks if I'm still wetting the bed. I haven't wet the bed since I was nine, and that was only because my sister wanted to try that muggle water trick! Ugh, moving on? My face is on the long side, but it's a bit hard to tell, I think. My nose is smallish, and my lips look like lips? You know, actually, to be frank, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with all this face describing."

EYE COLOR •

"When I was a kid, mum got shit faced, and when she was drunk off her arse she liked to tell me I have eyes just like my dad. And, then she'd be like, 'I HOPE YOU'RE NOT AS FULL OF SHIT AS HE IS'. In other words, they're brown. Dark brown. Like shit, yeah, you don't have to tell me."

HAIR COLOR AND STYLE •

"Once upon a time there was this little kid, and this little kid liked to keep his hair crazy long. Then, there was this other kid who came up to the long-haired kid, and was all, 'Oi, Hitchens, are you a bloke or girl?'. And, ever since then, the little kid from the beginning has kept his hair not so crazy long because he really didn't like his extreme manliness being questioned. It's brown, by the way."

BUILD •

"I'm really average sized. I'm somewhere around 5'11", and I weigh what comes between grossly skinny and not buff at all. S’yeah, average, nothing special here."

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES •

"Er, I'm not sure I have any. There's the whole baby face thing, and I've got dimples. But, other than that.."

STYLE •

"I don't exactly slave over picking out clothes to make me look all suave and spiffy, but I don't exactly dress like a bum. Well, I'm pretty sure I don't dress like a bum. I'm a jeans and tee shirt kind of guy. I've always wanted to say that."

DEMENTOR •

They were used to the screaming, but they weren't used to things being thrown.

A cold Christmas Eve morning found Cohen, Danielle, and Dylan sitting on the living room couch staring at each other blankly, trying to pretend they couldn't hear the shouting and bitter profanities their parents were throwing each other in the next room. Not to mention there was an occasional shattering of glass. The danger of physical harm was new to the Hitchens' children. The fighting had been going on for almost an hour, both Henry and Calliadora were drunk, and convinced that the other was a major fuck up in one way or another. Dylan was ten, just old enough to be able to understand the dynamics of his mother and father's drunken arguments.

"You don't think they'll hurt each other, d'you?" Dylan whispered to his older brother. Fifteen-year-old Cohen's answer was a harsh swallow, and a glance in his sister's direction.

"Of course not, Dylan," Danielle answered as calmly as she could, though she didn't look completely convinced.

The bed room door flew open, and out came Henry, there was a slightly mad look in his eye and he ran to the carpet in front of the couch where his children were. “Tell her! I’m a better parent than she’ll ever be, aren’t I?” The man said in a tone that was almost threatening.

“Oh, shut the fuck up, Henry,” Calliadora was standing a distance away from the scene, “And, don’t you dare pressure those kids!” Her tone was threatening, but Henry wasn’t listening, he was staring at his eldest son.

“What’ll it be Cohen, her or me?” Cohen didn’t answer.

“Danielle?” Danielle seemed to have finally lost her cool, and remained silent.
Before he could target Dylan, Calliadora was flinging a decorative glass plate at her husband with a flick of her wand, it sailed directly into the back of his head. And, for a moment, everything was frozen. The silent stillness broke with Henry reaching up to clutch the back of his bleeding head.

“What do say, boy? She’s crazy.” He uttered, before doubling over in pain.

Calliadora practically ran across the room, “Merlin! Merlin! I’m so sorry Henry!” She sobbed. Injured Henry placed his hand on her shoulder in a strangely loving gesture, with the hand that he wasn’t bleeding into. Still sobbing, Calliadora looked up at her children, “Cohen, look after your brother and sister. We’ll be back soon.” And, the two apparated to Saint Mungo’s.

Less than a year later, they were divorced.
