Gender: Male
Age: 18
Year: seventh
Birthday: June 23
House: ---
Wand:
Blood Status: Pureblood
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, although he tries to hide it.

__time is making fools of us again

Hair: Blondish brown
Eyes: dark blue
Height: about 5'11"
Weight: approximately 160 lbs.
Build: on the skinny side but still strong and muscular
Distinguishing Features: Chance has a small scar, now almost completely invisible on the left side of his face, right next to his eye.
Personal Style: Chance has always been taught that he must look his part. His pureblood part, that is. He always dresses his best because that's all he has ever known. He does tend to carry the greaser look, however, with his hair slicked back and his leather jacket adorning his back, but he carries this look with as much dignity as he can muster.

Overall Appearance: Chance holds a rather mysterious aura about him. His hair is often slicked back smartly, giving a sort of greaser effect. Not to mention his favorite leather jacket that he wears almost religiously. His face is always tensed, which sometimes comes across as aggression even though he is usually very peaceful unless provoked.

If one would look into his deep blue eyes, they would stare into a bottomless pit of nothingness. Most people say that the eyes are the window to the soul, but since Chance is so ashamed and secretive about his true soul, he has learned to block any penetrations that might show up. He has mastered the brilliant art of making a poker face which he now naturally wears. This face often comes across as a glare, even though he's really not mad. However, it does tend to intimidate those around him, which he finds very useful.

As to his body, he's not something so nice to look at. At least, not on the outside. As usually most of his skin is well covered, he appears to be just another skinny, almost wimpy kid. He does however conceal his somewhat muscular body on the inside, which you'd have to be very close with him to witness, so of course, basically no one knows what he hides under there.

His body posture is always very tense, usually arms folded across his chest or in another slightly aggressive position. Standing 5'11", he can be quite intimidating when he wants to be, but like described before, this often works out perfectly for his nature.

Gets along with: Chance, being a very introverted person, doesn't get along with many people. Because of his history, he finds it very difficult to get close to a person, for he fears that if he begins to love them, they will leave him for good. Also, his impending secret tends to give him good reason to stay quiet in fear that someone will find out. Chance has very few friends, and even those he has are still often kept out of the secretive loop. He just can't find it in himself to be totally open to anyone.

Overall Personality:

i'm sitting in a room Chance is an extremely introverted person. He often closes himself off from the rest of the world, refusing to get to know anybody or even to associate with them. He will never approach anyone in friendship; they must come to him, and even when they do he will react suspiciously. It takes a lot for Chance to accept you as a "friend," and even if you are considered that by him, he'll never trust you completely. His free time is usually spent relaxing by himself, sometimes with a schoolbook or perhaps one about the Dark Arts, which fascinate him, even though he doesn't use them in practice. Chance is very intelligent and only lacks in grades where he simply doesn't care about the subject, such as Care of Magical Creatures or Herbology. He's not exactly study happy, but he does well for a Slytherin.

in the halls there are people looking through Chance comes across as perhaps an aggressive person, even though he'd really never hurt anyone for no reason. He won't, however, refrain from punishing those who do deserve it. As he never approaches anyone, it takes a rare soul to approach him. Most just stay away, probably because they know what is good for them.

know exactly what we're here for As to the rising war going on, many people might be positive that Chance will participate on the side of the Death Eaters. This is most certainly not true, however. In reality, Chance couldn't care less about who wins or loses, just as long as he remains out of the controversy. Joining either side would mean following orders, one thing that Chance absolutely loathes doing. He is a strong believer in personality and individuality, and selling his soul to some Dark Lord is not exactly up there on his 'to do' list.

no place else you'd rather be Chance, like a lot of others, finds his true home at Hogwarts. Home, however, means something completely different from what most see it as. Home, to him, means a place where no one bothers you, as in his father. At his summer house, he is always lectured and ordered around by his father figure, who really is more of a figure than a true father to him. At Hogwarts, however, most people leave him alone, and he can enjoy his peace and quiet, spending his leisure in whatever way pleases him.

you're always on display At Hogwarts, Chance usually puts on the act of aggressiveness, just to keep the annoyers away, even though he'd never actually go after anyone unless they started something. He does lots of things that troubled people might do. He drinks. A lot. He's even tried drugs a few times. Anything that would make him seem fearsome, Chance does very willingly. He was a Slytherin, after all. At his house, on the other hand, his father is always trying to pass him off as a lovely young pureblooded gentleman, what he most obviously wasn't. Lyndon Parker, of course, wanted his only son to grow to be just as respectable as he, with a good job, wife, and kids to carry on the line of respectability. Lyndon Parker, however, doesn't know his son at all, and the only ambition Chance has for his future life is to get a far away from his "father" as possible.

it's obvious that you're dying Only just last year, a shocking discovery came upon Chance. He loved to drink, which wasn't the shock. The shock was what came out of another of those drunken nights spent in the Slytherin common room. Now, I won't name names, but let's just say that things happened. Things that shouldn't have happened. Chance found that he was attracted to males as much as females. Usually, his introverted personality keeps him from being attracted to anybody, but when a rare sight caught his eye, it was usually at least a female being. That night, however, was totally different. Chance hated himself for being so disgusting, but as much as he could hide it, he couldn't at all deny it.

you'll go out in style Chance's hopes for the future are not all that defined. All he knows is that after Hogwarts he is free from any authority figure at all, and he dreams about that freedom constantly, longing for it with all of his soul. He cannot wait for the day when he will be the ruler over himself, and he will always push himself forward through his final years of Hogwarts.

History: Chance Lyndon Parker came into the world on June 23rd, and was named rather aptly. His parents weren't exactly the ideal couple, but they worked. Chance wasn't exactly planned either, but he was accepted.

It was only just over a year before Chance's birth when Lyndon Parker stepped out of the Ministry office to an intriguing sight. Street performers just outside the secret entrance to the Ministry had attracted quite a crowd in the small London street. Curious, Lyndon got closer, and as he did, an even more stunning sight caught his eye.

Thalia Kerth was that stunning sight. A dancer in the small show, she entranced the crowd much like a gypsy would, in fact, you could probably call her a member of that group. She was a gypsy, seductive and inviting, and Lyndon Parker, a respectable man as he was, fell completely under her spell.

Only three nights later, Lyndon and Thalia were in bed. It was needless to say, they were madly in love with each other. Thalia's traveling group had left London the night the couple had first met, and Thalia had stayed behind, wondering when she might think to settle down. Obviously, the time was now.

About a month after their meeting, the two were married, and couldn't be happier. Like many couples, it was obvious that they remained interested in each other for a while after their marriage. Thus, in nine months, little Chance appeared, and what a chance he was.

Chance grew up being adored by his mother and showed off by his father. Lyndon was ever so proud to have such a handsome little boy, and Thalia was quite pleased with where her new life was headed. The couple raised their little boy like any other pureblooded family would, denying their new son absolutely nothing.

Then, tragedy struck. One day a few years later when Chance was about four years old, Thalia left. She didn't really leave any clues as to why; she just left. Most figured that she had missed her old way of life, and even her new husband and son couldn't satisfy her. Chance, of course, was torn up, lost and confused as to why his mother suddenly disappeared. Lyndon, however, might have taken it even worse.

Unable to comprehend his wife's abandonment, Lyndon was aggravated with grief and pain. One night, he couldn't control himself and he went out and got himself stone cold drunk, leaving his four-year-old son alone in the house. Not only was that a bad idea, but when he came back home, things got even worse. He lost control of his drunken temper back at the house and beat his small son mercilessly. Young Chance's injuries weren't all that horrible, but he did obtain a small scar on the side of his face close to his left eye. Later, Lyndon regretted the incident tremendously and begged for forgiveness of his four-year-old son, but the damage was already done.

After that, Chance lost all love he had for his father, replacing it with strict respect and intense fear. He grew up quite alone, not knowing who to turn to for help. It continued like this all the way until his eleventh birthday, on which he received the most important article of mail of his life.

Lyndon, of course, was proud that his son possessed the same magical abilities as himself and his long gone wife. Chance, however, couldn't feel any of that, as he had already taught himself how to block out emotions from his father. Lyndon couldn't make him feel good anymore.

At Hogwarts, Chance found bliss. Everything was peaceful here, and he could waltz through life with no one paying him any special heed. Chance found it difficult to trust anyone anymore, after his loving mother left him and his righteous father beat him up. He merely ignored civilization, focusing on only his studies and his own needs. Everything else was frivolous, really. The only thing a person could trust was themselves, and the only thing one needed was their own intellect. This was Chance's personal motto, and from it, he would never stray.
