The Character
Simon Ellison
25, Rogue Wizard
Wand: 12”, Ash, Dragon heart sting,
Blood: Muggle Born
Pets: None
Personality:
Due to being brought up in the muggle world his parents knew nothing about magic and in his house the magic word was always ‘please’. His parents stressed the importance of manors, holding doors open for others, letting old people have his seat, never fight a female and always stick to your word.
His friends always joked that he born in the wrong time period as he would have made the perfect knight. Chivalrous, brave to an extent of being stupid and he never lets a fowl word slip from his mouth. One would almost go to the extreme to say he is naïve to aspects of the world…well as naïve as you can be to become a Rouge Wizard.
However due to the recent events in his life of living a poor existence the ideals that had been installed in him at a young age by his family seemed to have slipped. When everything you owned could fit in a backpack it is hard to be too generous and think of others over yourself. As a result Simon had become more emotionally resistant, his heart was not as willing to love and trust as it once had. But there are still moments when chivalry shines through and he still holds the belief that you should never hit a women, even if she hits you first!
Appearance:
Simon is surprisingly tall considering that everyone in his family is small, his grandparents, parents and his older sisters are all smaller then him. Simon always wondered if it had something to do with him being the only member in his family to be able to do magic, that somehow it made him grow taller to stand out more, but it just backs up his theory that he is adopted.
His height is also matched with him being rather scrawny. He has muscle, he has to for the line of work he is in, and he is not unfit either, he just does not seem to be able to carry any meat on his bones. No matter how much he eats he never puts any weight on, which he guesses for some people would be a good thing.
Due to living it rough for almost a year, and trying to make himself look slightly older then he is the added feature of stubble an longer hair helps add to his own personal manliness. (Although his closest friends argue it is attempt to get away from the baby faced innocent look)
History:
As stated above Simon is muggle born with 3 older sisters. He grew up in the muggle world not knowing anything about Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic until that fateful summers day when they were getting ready for his oldest sisters engagement party and the letter arrived. It was then his family were thrown into turmoil as what would have been his brother-in-law took him to a corner and told him all about the magical world…he was a wizard. This was news to his sister and the wedding was but on hold, until the lovers could get over this small matter.
So Simon went to Hogwarts and sorted into Gryffindor and made many friends that he holds dear to him. At school he never was the best in any of his lessons, he was never any good at Quidditch to get on the house team, in essence he was one of the people in the background who lets everyone else play out the main roles in life.
When it came to leaving school he left with good grades and plenty of friends, but it would be his life back home that would control what happened from there and threw a shadow into the background into a leading light.
His oldest sister did eventually marry the wizard, just a year later then they had originally planned, and they lived happily together. He set many of Simons other sisters up with partners (also wizards) and the whole Ellison family embraced the wizarding world openly…that was until the death of his brother-in-law.
He was murdered for knowing too much and he needed to be silenced, and this simple action destroyed his family, the people who once accepted it turned its back and the people in it, Simon was made an outcast almost as long as his second oldest sisters long term partner. Simon left his apprenticeship in the ministry and his close friend Tim (and sisters partner) left his post inside the ministry and they travelled together. They saw parts of the world that he would never have dreamed of, but all the time the thought of the ministry and his family haunted his mind and eventually he came back home to sort it all out.
News reached him of the Rouge Wizards, a band who stand up against the ministry, those people who have nothing and take everything, so that is where Simon headed, wanting to help and aid those who he still cared about.
