The Character
Name: Elias Ripley
Nicknames: Eli
Job Title: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Muggle Studies Professor.
Age: 31
Blood: Half Blood
Wand: 13 ½ inches. Elmwood and Unicorn horn core
Patronus: Otter
Personality
Elias can be described as a determined failure. In a lot of things he does, he sees them start with vigor and a promise of good fortune, but then watches them fade into oblivion. However, the failure of his days has not yet dampened Eli’s out look on life. He still has the patience to move on and start over, even though the patience is waning thinner and thinner by the year.
Eli is a sweet character, but has a nasty temper. This has developed from when things go wrong, as they always do. He will curse and yell about it, but then he will get a grip and move on. However, get him in the midst of a failure, and he will rip you apart. Really, Eli is a pleasant character. He does try and be nice, its just getting harder and harder for him.
Appearance
Dark Hair. Blue Eyes.
History
Elias Ripley was born unlucky. He was born in a cab, his mother not being able to reach St. Mungos, two months early. Eli was never able to finish anything, including the time he was supposed to stay in his mother's stomach. As a child he was very fussy. He learned how to walk and talk later rather than sooner. It was a small example of the life he would live.
Attending Hogwarts, sorted into the house house of Gryffindor for his perseverance and loyalty to his work, he excelled in classes. Eli made friends, but never had a best friend. Eli had little quirks that annoyed people sometimes. His lack of an ability to finish things got him frustrated, and those around him frustrated as well. Homework, meals, conversations, all seemed to be interrupted by some strange force that wouldn't let Eli finish them.
A seventeen year old Eli finished school, the first thing he could say he ever really finished. His dream was to become an Auror, though he never finished training. He decided to become a healer, but didn't make it through his internships. The ministry gave him a desk job, but his lack of turning things in on time brought him to the bottom of the heap.
Eli dated, but never found the right woman. Perhaps another part of his curse. So, he lived alone in a flat down the street from the Ministy, walking to work each day, apparition never become his thing. He was sick of the small office and the boring work. He knew he could do more with his life, if only he could see his dreams through.
Eli heard about a position opening at Hogwarts. He applied straight away. He had taken muggle studies while a student at Hogwarts. He found it interesting, but nothing that he tough he would ever need again. However, it was better than the job he was now suffering through. So, Eli packed his bags, not finishing because his cab was early to get him, but he was now on his way back to school
