RAVENCLAW '33 | HIDING IN MUSPELL | NOT LONELY AT ALL | PUREBLOOD
I remember you from school, but damn you changed. We're likely to run into each other in the randomest of places. I kind of sold my sense of taste to the devil, but I still enjoy coffee.
Altair really needs friends, but he's not always good at keeping them.

Note on plotting: Altair has an extensive history as an active character and I appreciate if you would consult his wiki page (the table on the right-hand side) to find where paths may have crossed. If you have questions, I am more reachable by on-site PM than by discord!

ALCHEMY PROFESSOR + MUSPELL | PUREBLOOD | THIRTY-SIX
IDEAS: We went to school together. You've known me as Prefect, Quidditch Captain [Ravenclaw] and Head Boy. You'll also know my name was once Marcus Antares Vega, and that I died shortly after graduation. You've probably missed that I came back under another name, and am now doing all sorts of shady crap, having gone completely antisocial.
Hoping to see you at Hogwarts for term, where you're free to join in on the "wait aren't you dead" choire. Join the party!

We go way back, went to school together, competed against each other (being in different houses and all). Used to be friends, then we were both drafted to the MOD, and that probably didn't end that friendship.

Once upon a Time...
Marcus Antares Vega is born on the 11th of December 1914 in the city of London, to a seer mother, and a second-son father unable to live up to the expectations of his family. The death of his mother brings the little family to move from their childhood home in Norway, when his father is offered a job in the Daily Prophet. The 14 year old Marcus Vega enter Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw. The young Marcus is an overachiever, one that wants to be best at everything he does. He sets his marks: His 5th to 7th year is spent captaining the Quidditch team, he becomes Prefect, then Head Boy, and sign up for the Advance Guard, an offer that will bright bring him straight into Auror training upon graduation. However... Marcus A. Vega was declared dead on the 24th of August 1933. His father carries his burnt corpse out from the remains of their family home. Years pass. Things are forgotten. People move on. A Marcus double turns up under the name of Lukas Altair, side by side with some of the most important politicians of the time. He spends his years travelling the world before political shifts turn the wheels around and he disappears again, going in and out from the shadows. A few attempts are made at communicating and participating in the world. In 36-37 Lukas co-professors a duelling class at Hogwarts together with Francis Turin. In 39-40 he teaches the mysterious class of Theory of Dark Arts at Beauxbatons Institute. In 41-42 he teaching Conjuring and Summoning at Hogwarts, only to confirm that the only student he only ever cared about was himself. In 1943 he is drafted into Merlin's Order of Defence, upon which he immediately demands the title of Captain and gets it. This is where he stays until the Hexenreich takes over. Again, he disappears. Then a new shop is set up in Knockturn Alley - a book business, focusing only on the strangest and rarest of books, carrying the odd name of Muspell. Few are the people he talks to. Few are those who know him. But many remember him to be dead. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

MUSPELL FAQ
Lost a book? Want a book? Wish there was a book?
Muspell has it, finds it, brings it.Opened: November 1948 Location: At the end of one of those really narrow, really creepy alleyways is a small, insignificant door with silver letters spelling "MUSPELL". Opening hours: Usually Mondays to Fridays 10.00 - 16.00. Otherwise whenever the owner is around. You may have to knock on a closed door in order to find out. Sometimes the door is closed even when the shop is opened. This may be due to customer privacy. It may also be due to Altair not wanting any costumers that day. Who owns the shop?Altair manages and owns the shop. Previously a Mr. Anansi was said to own the shop, but this turned out to be Altair under a different name. He does no longer hide that it is him that owns the place.What sorts of services does this shop offer?The shop is concentrated around rare books, meaning books you're not very likely to find in any normal bookstore. Muspell offers:
-Loan of books
-Sale of books
-Buying books
-Tracking down rare books for customers
-Taking problematic books off your handsIs Muspell haunted?Extremely. Not by far all spirits are benevolent, but all are under the control of Altair and may do no harm on the level of the building that is opened to the public. Spirits oftentimes act like spies, feeding Altair a whole lot of information for which he has very little interest. That, and more serious things, is a cost of meddling with certain powers.
There is no spirit in the shop that was not once summoned - intentionally or unintentionally - by Altair himself. A fair few simply chose to stick around.Can you find books on Dark Magic inside of the shop?Yes, but not out in the open. Most books borders to Dark Magic but does not fall completely into either category. People from the right circles will know there is dark stuff in this shop and will know that this is a by-request-only service. Altair may choose to refuse to show you this material.Does Altair provide other services?On occasion, Altair may agree on retrieving other sorts of lost and/or desired items. It is rumoured that most of his tracking down is done by use of psychometry and that he has other abilities like it.Will services be offered to underaged witches and wizards?No.Why did Altair pretend to be someone else?1. He enjoys his privacy.
2. He's in Knockturn anyway, and it's a shady place.
3. He's got a lot of history and is trying to stay off the radar of the Ministry.Does Altair have more names?The short answer is yes. He'll be recognised as Marcus Antares Vega by family, old school mates and by old friends. However, Marcus Vega died on the 24th of August 1933, and since he has been going by the name of Altair. There is still a Marcus Vega around, but that turns out to be a different one...

SHOP AND SERVICE DESCRIPTION
From the outside Muspell is not an inviting place. There are no windows pointing to the street - well, except the one on the front door (painted in olive green), which provides a minimum insight for the overly curious. What can be seen from here is not very interesting. Most of the time the shop looks closed down. And most of the time it is. Once you enter, the first thing you meet is not the actual shop, but a hallway. Articles of clothing hang on pegs along the walls, most of them jackets and cloaks of various sorts. On the floor are shoes and on the wall a handwritten note asking that others remove their shoes before entering. At this point it looks like customers are entering someone's home. When they arrive through the next door (deep blue) though -- The main room of the store is much larger than you'd expect from the outside. Along all sides are bookshelves full of books. Some of them (like the Hogwarts staircases) move and customers may find themselves getting trapped (and then quickly rescued by the owner). The titles are diverse and there is no limit to the variation of topics, with the result that titles may dwell far into the grey and shadowed areas of magical theory. The exception are books that hold explicit information on practical dark magic - these are stored elsewhere and only taken out on request. Not all books are for sale, some can be borrowed - speak to the owner for clarification. All books carry protection spells that means they cannot pass through the blue and the green doors without permission. Any kind of book can be ordered, including books that are not yet there. Altair finds books from any location in the world, on request, as long as the customer can pay (and as long as Altair gets to read it first). The time it takes to complete a request can take anything from a day to several months, depending on factors such as travel distance, spell protections and risk management. Prices vary accordingly and may rise at unforseen difficulty. If you cannot pay, the book remains at Muspell. People of a certain divinatory skill are likely to notice that Muspell is home to a number of spirits. As such, it is not really possible to be alone in this place and the presence of glittering eyes in the dark may, in fact, not be merely imaginary. The floor is covered in an ash grey wall-to-wall carpet. The room is sparsely lit, but can be fully lit on Altair's command. Workstations are scattered about. In the middle of the floor is a glass desk. There is nothing fancy on display, although the room looks elegant enough. This is, however, only the part of the shop visible to visitors. The secrets rooms -- -- remain secret. To everyone. Also - try not to get on Altair's bad side.

Headstrong, independent, intelligent BRITISH, THIRTY-TWO, UNKNOWN
We're both Ravenclaws of '33. Which means that I was once you Head Boy, and if you ever played Quidditch, I was likely your Captain. Besides, you have a very interesting personality that Marcus is likely to like - let's say they're old school friends?
They could run into each other by chance and catch up?

MARCUS ALTAIR
Marcus is quite private, but he'll talk to the right people if he find them interesting enough. Astronomy could be an ice breaker - he'll be interested if he finds out she teaches it. In addition to being very interested in astronomy, he's also a past professor (Conjuring and Summoning, Duelling, and Theory of Dark Arts). It would be interesting to see how they'd get along.
(Also - A Perfect Circle ftw.)

Marcus Altair. 27, Merlin's Order of Defence, wherever things goes. We've talked a bit. I'd love to continue whatever we're doing - Marcus likes her, sort of anyway, but it could develop in several directions. I can see some sort of rivalry happening, at least semi-friendly. He could even end up like-liking her, which is sort of rare, but I can't promise anything (I have no control over my characters, they do whatever they want to...) I don't know, I feel they're the sort who will either end up hating each other or loving each other. Either way I'd love to keep threading.

Jack age: 15
blood: Muggleborn
house: Hufflepuff Couldn't help but spot Foster's reply, and am seeing a pattern here. Jack is originally Irish, but came to London by sneaking on a ship after losing his parents to the Time Warp. He has, like Foster, run away from the orphanage repeatedly, but is sort of losing his spirit nowadays, much due to the fact that Time Warp has forced him to forget most of what he once was. We could thread and plot, perhaps even three-way with Foster? Gang in the making?

Jack's 12, a St. Mungo's orphan, and currently going to Hogwarts. I think it's pretty safe to claim they can become friends when Yngvild start school
