EYE COLOUR:
-when born his eyes were a beautiful blue that he kept for the first half century of his life. once turned, however, they switched to an ugly red that is a dead giveaway of his status, and so he's taken to contacts and enchantments to let others see blue eyes instead of their true red.

BIOGRAPHY:
-once upon a time, about sixty-seven years ago to be exact, a happy little couple, newly married after five years of courtship, got the best news of their lives. thalia, the wife was pregnant. it was not a planned child, they'd been wanting to get themselves settled in their marriage before they thought of having children, but the pregnancy was followed through. after all, they'd always wanted to have children together. even if the child was born early. they'd be fools to abort it.

-a few months into the pregnancy it was realized that thalia was growing rather quickly... and through that discovery it was known that the happy couple were expecting twins. overjoyed would be an understatement for the happy parents. money would be even tighter now than it was before, but they weren't the type of deadbeat parental units who would resent their children for money issues. after all, the happiness that they expected to have in their family would outweigh stress from income, right?

-alaric jericho ayala was born on april second, just before his 'little' sister, maya bethann. his parents were wizards with no doubt their children would follow the same path. the twins were raised knowing what their parents were, seeing it displayed in their home each day, and looking forward to the time when they would be able to do the same wonderful spells their parents performed with such ease. magic was never just something from story books to them, it was real, and they were extremely proud of their heritage, especially that they came from a long line of wizards. no one in the family ever discriminated against those families with muggle blood mixed in, but they were proud that they were pure themselves.

-growing up, alaric and maya were the two closest siblings you'd ever seen. they went everywhere together, finished each other's thoughts, helped each other pull pranks... whenever one got in trouble the other would take part of the blame, even if they had none, and would endure the punishment with their siblings. alaric was fiercely protective of his little sister, even as a child. to keep up appearances the twins were enrolled in a muggle school, where alaric wouldn't hesitate to punch out any guy (or girl) who gave his sister trouble.

-the twins got their letters on the same day before their first year of magical schooling. on september first their parents apparated them to london, where the children set off on the hogwarts express to the magical castle. they were the first children to be sorted into their houses, alaric first because his first name was alphabetical before maya. he sat under the hat for only a few seconds, listening to it mutter to itself about wit and brawn and ambition, before it raised its voice and exclaimed to the hall that alaric belonged in slytherin. alaric ran over to his table, sitting near the edge as his house congratulated him with his eyes glued on maya as she stepped up to the stool and had the hat placed over her head. it debated for longer, this time, a full minute as alaric clenched the bench with his hands, waiting for her to be sent his way... and then the hat called out 'ravenclaw!'

-it wasn't quite a shock. both of their parents had been ravenclaw students, so really alaric was the odd one out, but he hated the difference in houses nonetheless. it was the first time he was ever really separated from his sister, and it was definitely odd for the new slytherin. they worked around it, though. the owls their parents had bought for them before they left for hogwarts became their new best friends, exchanging their letters to each other each evening as often as some muggle kids in modern times text each other. slytherin classes at the time were most often spent with gryffindors, but in the classes they did have together the two often partnered up. even though they weren't around each other all the time, their relationship was as strong as ever.

-in his fifth year of schooling alaric, on impulse with a few of his friends, tried out for the slytherin quidditch team. he'd actually tried out for keeper, but the captain of the team basically told him "you're beater" and gave him no choice about it. as it turned out, the teen loved the position. he excelled at it, and knocked at least a few of the opposition to the ground each year with a well placed bludger. he returned to the team each year, being named captain in his seventh year when the student who had been captain since his fourth graduated, and ultimately led the slytherin team to a hogwarts quidditch cup victory. it was a great feeling, and to this day remains his patronus.

-quidditch was his passion, but it wasn't exactly a realistic profession outside of school. he knew that, and so it was with a bit of reluctance that alaric turned to his second career option after school was over, a hit wizard for the ministry. it was the time of voldemort's first rise to power, and hit wizards and aurors were well needed. alaric, though a slytherin, was happy to help out on that the best he could. after a few years of training he slowly rose in the ranks, setting his eventual sights on becoming squad chief once he was old enough for the honor. unfortunately, the chance never arrived for him.

-it was supposed to be a normal day. a vampire who had been tormenting muggles. all he had to do was grab the man, arrest him, and bring him back to the ministry for processing. he would be home, his apartment where he lived with maya (who was a healer) before supper. he wasn't a trainee anymore, twenty five years old for about a month, and it was a simple task he could supposedly handle on his own, and so he set out for the abandoned house the vampire apparently used as his base alone.

-it was one of those stereotypical haunted houses. creepy, creaky, dusty, etc., but alaric wasn't a kid to turn and run. he actually found the house rather fascinating, swung the door open, and walked inside. there wasn't a sound in the building, even when he called out, and he was beginning to think that it might be empty when he heard a noise behind him. as he turned to face the noise he saw a dark figure rush towards him, and felt the beast bite into his neck, using its venom to make his body go limp so that he couldn't fight as he was apparated away.

-the vampire's name was noah blainly, and for some reason that alaric has never quite understood, he took a liking to the hit wizard. for that reason instead of drinking him dry, which alaric many times thinks he would have preferred, ignoring alaric's weak protests the vampire bit him once more, filling him with the venom that, over five agonizing days, shifted the former wizard's body into that of a vampire. when the pain finally faded alaric found himself chained to a wall, lying in the basement of a building in scotland, far away from the british town he'd targeted the vampire in, his body burning with thirst and noah standing near him with a grin. apparently the vampire thought he'd done alaric a favor. he gave a huge speech about how much better it was to be vampire than human, but alaric wasn't paying much attention. he felt so weak and thirsty that the only thing he could think about was his hunger, and as soon as nightfall came and noah released him from the spell that kept him in place alaric grabbed his wand and bolted. he intended on only getting away from noah, but a muggle girl fell into his path... her body was found in the morning by the muggle authorities, a suspected wolf attack. alaric, meanwhile, was horrified with what he'd done. for some reason noah never followed him and he was able to make his way back to his home with maya london, trying to ignore his cravings.

-it turned out that he had been missing for a month and a half. people had thought he was dead, and it only took one look at his starved state for maya to realize what had happened. she was a healer. she associated with bites and venom every day. she had met many vampires, but it seemed that having her own family a 'monster' was something maya could not take. in her panic she kicked him out, ordering him to never return, and alaric found himself so hurt that he didn't even think of disobeying. his parents, when he turned to them, had essentially the same reaction. they considered creatures like him monsters, dangers to their family and friends. alaric decided to give them time to adjust and left, intending on returning in a few weeks time to reason with them, but when he did he found they'd gone. moved away, and he was left with no way to find them.

the next few years were extremely hard on alaric. he had to deal with the new thirst, which seemed constant in his newborn thirst, and with the guilt whenever he lost control of it. with his sudden transition to vampire came a sudden loss in his control of his magic by wand, but a different type of magic not involving wands that was completely foreign to him. he was constantly travelling, trying to avoid suspicion for the blood on his hands, trying to learn to control his cravings. along the way, about a decade and a half after he was turned he found his parents, again, and with them maya, who had two healthy, blue eyed children and a loving husband. it was like a punch in the gut to alaric. he was torn between hating them for 'abandoning' him, and hating himself for what he was. he lurked in the area for a while, watching their happy new lives, and then travelled away again, doing odd jobs for money, hiding his real age and status from everyone he encountered so that they wouldn't alienate him as his own family had.

-every few months alaric would return to the small town he'd found his family in, and after a few years returned to the worst news possible. his mother and sister were preparing for a funeral, his father's funeral, which he had to attend from afar so that no one he knew would see him. the real kicker of the day, to him, was after everyone left when he caught a glimpse of his father's tombstone, where it listed him as a loving father to maya ayala. no mention of alaric at all.

-he left again, this time not returning for over another decade. he got a job in the ministry, pretending that he was a twenty year old so that he could stick around for a few years before people noticed he wasn't aging and he could leave. he didn't like to stay in any place where people knew he was a vampire for too long, and so once a few people at his place of work realized what was going on he moved on, getting a job in diagon alley, and once things were discovered there he moved again, and so on and so on. by the time he checked in with his family again his daughter's children were around the age he'd been turned at, and his mother was dead, buried beside his father. her tombstone, thankfully, listed nothing on family. despite the way they'd parted, alaric still visits his parents every few years to lay flowers.

-about four years ago, alaric decided to follow his teenage dream. quidditch. after all, even if he failed, he had all the time in the world to practice and improve. pretending to be an older looking nineteen year old from durmstrang he tried out for the team, and amazingly got the position of beater. he was absolutely elated, though his excitement was a bit dampered in that he had no one he could celebrate with. since he has pushed himself into the sport, enjoying the perks that his fame gets him from women and the people around him. this year he's been named captain, just in time for the quidditch cup, which he fully intends on winning with his team.[/SIZE][/ul]
