BIOGRAPHY: Jaycen's father was a proud Durmstrang student, and so always had a liking towards the Dark Arts. His mother was a proud Slytherin at Hogwarts, and her entire family were quiet supporters of Voldemort in his reign. They were never official death eaters, but they certainly weren't appalled when it seemed Voldemort was coming back into power. They were purebloods, and therefore had nothing to worry about even if Hogwarts and the entire wizarding world was taken by Voldemort and his supporters.

The two were living together, though not yet married, throughout all of the drama in Harry Potter's final years at Hogwarts. They lived in Ireland, where Jaycen's father was from, and stayed there lying low after Voldemort's defeat, always paranoid that they quiet support of Voldemort would get them into trouble. They were finally married two years after Harry Potter's triumph, and a few years after that Jaycen was born.

The couple had always wanted a big family, but soon after Jaycen was born Janice had some complications and could no longer have children, so the cozy little family was stuck at a number of three. It worked out well for Jayce. He got all of the attention a little kid could ask for. His Dad, especially, spent every bit of his free time with his son, doting upon him and raising him to be a good son with his parent's views. Jayce was taught how his family was better than the rest because they were purebloods, how muggles were below them. How the greatest movement in Wizard history had been crushed because of a pathetic boy called Harry Potter, who probably wasn't even smart enough to realize what extreme consequences his actions would make. As a young kid, Jayce accepted his parent's views without any questioning. He was just a kid, what did he know? His parents had been around for all of the drama of the battle of Hogwarts, they'd had time to observe everything in the world around them, they had to be right.

The original plan was for Jaycen to follow his father's footsteps and go to Durmstrang, but when the letter came from Hogwarts inviting him to the school, Janice convinced her husband to allow their son to go there. Soren grudgingly agreed, even if his son would be in the same foul environment as Harry Potter's kids, he'd also be at the same school, and he had to be in the same house, as Voldemort had attended, so the good balanced out the evil so to speak.

Getting ready for Hogwarts was one of the most exciting times of Jaycen's life. His parents took him from Ireland to Diagon Alley to get all of his school supplies, and three weeks later he returned to hop on the train and head to the school for the first time. It was weird, being without his parents for the first time in his entire life, but there was a freedom to it that he really enjoyed, even before he saw the huge halls and areas around Hogwarts or met some of the friends he made there.

The sorting ceremony was probably the biggest shock ever to come to Jaycen. He had been lectured since he was young on how Slytherin was the right house to be in. But when he sat down on the stool under the ancient hat, Slytherin was not even it's second choice to place him in. The sorting hat saw some sort of potential in him that Jaycen couldn't understand at the time (it probably had something to do with the fact that the boy has a photgraphic memory, though he doesn't flaunt it.) and quite quickly declared him to be a Ravenclaw. So a very shocked eleven year old Jaycen stumbled over to the Ravenclaw table to join his 'new family'.

Four days later he got an angry letter from his father. Yeah. Angry. All because Soren's 'perfect' son hadn't been placed in the expected house. Soren seemed to be convinced that Jaycen was deliberately trying to shame their family, or something ridiculous of the sort. Soren basically told Jaycen to smarten up, and then he went silent on his son for the rest of the year. Jayce continued to have contact with his mother every few weeks, but he was completely cut off from his father. Jayce dove into the school life to ignore his Dad's disappointment and found that he adapted very well to his house. He caught on quickly to spells, found he could easily pay attention in class, and was one of the top students in his grade. Other than family issues, his first year of schooling went along pretty well.

His return to his family that Summer was tense, to say the least. His dad had never gotten over the disappointment of a non-slytherin son, and found excuses to stay at work late and have as little contact with Jaycen as possible. At only twelve at the time, it was hard for Jaycen to deal with, but he appreciated the fact that his mother was trying to keep tension in the house down. Still, it was an extreme relief when the next school year rolled around.

His second year went along quite like the first. He tried to go home for the Christmas holidays, but it was so much like the Summer break that he returned to Hogwarts early. Summer break was exactly the same way, and the years soon fell into a familiar pattern. He just stopped going home for any Holiday but the Summer, finding the company and friends at Hogwarts much more enjoyable. His grades were consistently high, he was becoming well known at Hogwarts, and with every passing year it began to feel more like his home than his actual house.

In his sixth year he was named a prefect, which only seemed to infuriate his father more. To make up for the 'disappointment of being a good student', Jaycen decided to try out for a position on the Quidditch team and was very surprised when he was selected as a beater. It eased the tension in the household a little bit, but that tension came right back at the end of his sixth year when he found out he'd be head boy at his final year in the school. So here he is, trying to figure out his future and hopefully find a way to resolve the everlasting tension between him and his father at the same time.

RP SAMPLE:

Okay, so this girl was apparently just a bit skittish. Benjamin realized that a crucial moment too late as the shock registered on the young girl's face and her body jerked with surprise. He honestly hadn't meant to terrify her. He'd assumed she would have noticed him walking into the gym, or realized that she was not alone in the room. The gym door wasn't exactly the quietest thing in the building. But maybe he'd teleported too soon afterwards for her to notice, or she hadn't seen him sitting on top of the bleachers. He hadn't exactly been trying to make sure that she was aware of his presence when he hadn't realized that she was in the Gym at all.

Well... at least she clearly wasn't one of those students that cowered at the sight of a teacher, terrified about the idea of getting in trouble for something they didn't even know was wrong. Ben knew that there had been, and still were, a few teachers like that at Power's Academy. With every school came a certain amount of teachers that just seemed to hate the world. He'd encountered a lot of them when he was still a student here. But he wasn't one of those teachers. He liked to think that he was the easy-going one that students could relate to, at least a little bit. Either way, Chloe's blow up clearly showed she wasn't afraid of him. He had to admire that. Whereas some teachers might be insulted at the extreme lack of respect he was merely amused.

"You have a flare for the dramatics, Ch- Miss Bennett," Ben had to catch himself just in time to stop himself from calling her such an informal name. She didn't seem to be too pleased with him, and he didn't want to get into even more trouble if she decided to share this meeting with someone else. "But perhaps some of that nervous energy could instead be channeled into paying more attention to your surroundings? I wasn't trying to sneak up on you, and you could have easily seen me when I entered the gym." He wasn't trying to scold her; if anything their tone was light, easy going, joking even. He was apologetic that she'd been so surprised by his entrance, even if he didn't feel as though it was his fault. "I am sorry for startling you, though," he remarked casually, perhaps not sounding as sincere as he should.

She wasn't exactly dressed as though she were here in the gym for fun. In fact, if he was remembering correctly, she wasn't the type who enjoyed Gym at all. He didn't really understand why. For Ben there was nothing greater than the exhilaration that came with a good game of dodgeball or a nice run. Skirts, gloves, a tight fitting top... she seemed to be dressing like any popular girl who wanted all eyes on her. The way she dressed didn't seem to fit in with the fact that she was hidden alone in an empty gym.

"So, back to my previous question. Can I help you? Or are you just looking for a place to hide away from the crowd over lunch?"
