Alaestor Mìcheal Rosethorn

Profile


-Changeling, can transform into any animal, natural or magical. 

-Headmaster and Founder of "Rosethorn Academy" a school for young mages  or other magic folk. The academy offers traditional lessons like English, History, Maths, Science, as well as magical lessons. The school itself is located within a forest on the outskirts of Edinburgh, but it's magically hidden, and it was created as an international hub. The way this is accomplished is through the "Hall of Doors", a long hallway full of doors, as the name suggests. Each student is given a magical key that they can use on any door, and the door will open to the academy at one of the doors. At the end of the day, the same key will be used on any door in the hall and it will take them through whatever door they came in from.  

-It's not exactly a secret to his students that he can transform into animals, but he doesn't talk about it or do it in front of them. He keeps an air of mystery about it, and hides his fae ancestry. 

-As a child, he was bullied for being different, and after contact with the fae realm, physical changes started happening during times of stress, most notably, his arms and legs would take on an inky black hue spreading upwards, his eyes would turn solid black, his teeth and nails would become sharp, and he would look overall slightly less human.  As a child, the changes would come in separately and he would always rush to hide them. It was very rare for all changes to happen simultaneously, and would really only happen if he was under extreme stress. The older he got, the more often this happened.  Nowadays, he's able to hide his appearance under a glamour so he's able to live as a normal (if not magical) human. Once again, extreme stress can cause the features to override the glamour.

-At one point in his life, he traveled to the fae realm and spent many years there, becoming more in tune with his fae side. He was there for long enough to develop some bad habits, and had to unlearn his disregard for humans and callousness that so many fae had. He still occasionally has some peculiarities, but he hides it well, and he has a good heart. 

- He has a magical cloak called The Cloak of Stars. It allows him to summon starry creatures from the lining of the cloak, and gives his own animal transformations a pure black appearance, with the occasional twinkle of stars. Besides the aesthetic changes, it helps him blend in to darkness, create illusions, see in the dark, and gives him a connection to the stars, in which he can always tell where any constellation is instinctually, as well as always know which way is north.  The Cloak of Stars has an enchantment on it, so that he can change it to look however he wants, mostly meaning he changes it to various jackets that go with his outfits. It's also glamored to appear like a normal jacket to non-magical humans, or if he chooses to hide it.

- Birth Father: Eileáryn  (A fae)
-Step Father: Lachlan Kelly
- Brother(s): None
- Sister(s): One younger half sister.
- Other Relevant Distant/Immediate Family: None


FAMILY SPECIFICS:
- Does your character have a good or bad relationship with their parents? Describe it. For  a long time, Alaestor thought Lachlan was his dad, until his fae  ancestry was revealed.  After learning that, he went through a phase of  hating his stepdad, lashing out and misplacing his anger and turmoil  from the torment he got from his fae ancestry. Over time he did calm  down, and even after his time in the fae realm as a young adult, he had a  respect for the man who basically raised him as his own. As for his  mother, he always was closer to her. It was a constant for him, having a  parent biologically connected to him.  He'll visit them every few  months.
- Does your character still live with any of their family members? How  do they feel about it? Nope. He'd probably go crazy if he lived with  his parents now. He has a hard time just sitting down and relaxing. He  has to be doing something.
- Are your character’s parents still together? Separated? Divorced? Widowed/widower?  Well his biological father was never in the picture, as his mom made a  bargain for a child and basically had a one-night-stand with Eilearyn,  who tried to trick her afterward, into giving him the child, but Davonna  found a way to stop him from doing so, and in his anger at being  bested, he cursed Alaestor with infertility, because he couldn't get to  Davonna.
- Are any of your character’s major family members deceased? If so, whom? Grandparents on both sides
- Who is your character’s favourite family member? His mother
- Who is your character’s least favourite family member? Birth father
-  Does your character have any found family (i.e. people not related to  them by blood that they would consider family)? If so, what are their  names? Craven (A bird turned to man, whom he met many years ago. He provided safety to Craven and in return the bird-man helps him at his magical school.)

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BASICS:
- Relationship Status: Single
- Partner’s Name:
- Partner’s Gender:
- Marital Status:
      * If your character does not have a partner, you can replace it with  their crush’s name—if your character is asexual, aromantic, or  otherwise uninterested in romantic and/or sexual relationships, you can  express that in the following questionnaire
- Children:

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP SPECIFICS:
- Is your character interested in romantic/sexual relationships? Why or why not? He's more open to sexual relationships than romantic, but even that, he's always so busy that he rarely gets private time to hook up.
- Has your character ever felt like they needed to suppress their sexuality out of the fear of being judged? He never thought about sexuality the way humans do. Growing up, he knew the other teens started liking boys or girls, but he never really found anyone he was romantically interested in, and just assumed that romantic love was your orientation, and then sex was just sex. So for a while he thought he didn't like anyone. As he got a little older, he'd accept advances indiscriminately, and he got a bit of a reputation for being willing to sleep around amongst his schoolmates. If anyone judged him, it was more for being so open than who he went to bed with. He didn't see what the big deal was.
- Did your character have a childhood crush (fictional character, another OC, or real person)? If so, who were they? No childhood crushes. His first real romantic attraction he felt towards anyone was in the fae realm, as an adult.
- If your character has a crush or partner, what is their favourite thing about them?  He doesn't currently have anyone like that.
- If your character has a crush or partner, what is their least favourite thing about them?
- What is your character’s taste in partners? Do they have a “type”? He likes an equal match, someone smart and adventurous. He enjoys  bravery and a willingness  to stand up for what they believe in. Physically, he has no specific traits he likes over any other.  Honestly he can find beauty in anyone, and loves the complexity of humanity.
-  What is your character’s favourite physical part of someone? Eyes. He loves expressive eyes and facial features. Conversely, he has no interest in those that hide their true thoughts and feelings.
- Is your character shy or confident around their partner and/or crush? Why? It's that fae confidence. He hasn't been considered "shy" in any capacity in a LONG time.
- What does your character notice first in a person? Their expressions. He finds beauty in so many physical attributes, but expressiveness is not something everyone has, and he is drawn to those who express themselves freely.
- What does your character seek in a romantic and/or sexual partner? What do they think is someone’s most important quality? Ideally, he'd want someone who is honest, brave, expressive, smart, loyal, and understanding.
- (18+) Does your character have any kinks and/or fetishes? He enjoys all sorts of things, and he's always willing to try something a partner likes, but honestly sex is sex, however you go about it, and if it's pleasurable to him or a partner, it's worth doing.
- Does your character want children? Why or why not? Even if he wasn't infertile, or had a chance to adopt, he wouldn't. He has no paternal instinct and is not a fan of babies and children. Being a teacher is about as close to a parental figure he'll ever be. And even then, he doesn't really know how to handle some of the things these kids throw at him. He's always quick to hand off any students with questions to another, more competent adult.
- If your character wants children, would they prefer to give birth or adopt? n/a
- Does your character consider themselves a good lover? Yes. He's got experience and he's willing to try things, listen to a partner, do what they want. He's not selfish, and he is attentive. That's what he would consider a good lover.
- Would your character consider themselves a hopeless romantic? If so, why? No. He doesn't care about sappy stuff. He'd probably do it for a partner's sake, but as long as they're happy, he's happy.
