→ CHARACTER INFORMATION.

Name: Ren Al-Sayeed

Birthday: June 16th, 1961

Hometown: Canary Islands

Bloodline: Unknown

Magical Strength (pick one): Divination

Magical Weakness (pick one): Conjuring & Summoning

Year (pick two): First year, Second year

Biography: Ren Al-Sayeed was born on the picturesque Canary Islands, where his parents had moved for their academic pursuits. Both his mother and father were esteemed Forensic Pathologists, deeply engrossed in their work, which included maintaining a chemical lab and a taxidermy shed for their research and book writing. Growing up amidst an array of scientific equipment and stuffed animals, Ren developed a fascination for the mysterious world of chemistry and the ethereal beauty of his parents' work.

Despite the eerie ambiance of their home, filled with taxidermy specimens, Ren found comfort in the controlled chaos of the lab. The mixing of chemicals, the plumes of smoke, and the delicate art of potion-making intrigued him more than anything else. However, his life took a tragic turn when his parents left for an academic conference and never returned. Their plane crashed, leaving five-year-old Ren to grapple with the stark reality of their absence.

Struggling to cope with his loss and the emptiness of their home, Ren decided to leave. With his mother’s taxidermy fox, which he named Kiki, and a selection of shiny liquids from his father’s lab, he ran away from the Canary Islands. Ren’s journey led him across mainland Europe, skillfully avoiding living relatives and any who might take him in. He sought solitude, yearning to be left alone with his thoughts and his makeshift potions.
Ren eventually found himself in a rural orphanage in Ireland. Here, he continued to keep to himself, spending hours experimenting with whatever substances he could find.

His desire to recreate the mixing and reactions he had observed in his parents’ lab was more than just a pastime—it was his way of staying connected to them. Kiki, the taxidermy fox, remained his silent companion through all his trials and experiments.
Ren never realized it, but the other kids always felt he had a sixth sense about things. He would always know when the director, or any of her abusive boyfriends, would be in a bad mood or were thirsting for their next drink. He knew when to get out of the way or to placate them with a fun concoction. Occasionally, his curiosity would get the best of him, and he would let the children taste his drinks to see if they were sweet enough or too sweet for the adults. There was no sense of right or wrong in who to test out his mixes on. No one ever taught him better.

The orphanage director, an alcoholic, inadvertently became part of Ren's experiments. Ren noticed how the director’s mood would improve after consuming her mixed drinks, so he began concocting colorful, shiny mixtures for her. While this earned him a bit of reprieve from her usual berating, it also meant that Ren often had to taste-test his creations, leading to frequent bouts of illness. Despite this, the process of mixing and observing reactions gave Ren a sense of purpose and a fleeting connection to his lost parents.


→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Slytherin

Personality:
Ren Al-Sayeed is generally cheerful, often lost in his own world of mixtures and experiments. He has a childishly manipulative side, always trying to gauge people's emotional states. No matter how much others reject him, he insists on testing his concoctions, paying no mind to their effects on his "test subjects."

Likes
•   Experimenting: Ren loves mixing potions and watching the reactions. The shine and refraction of his mixtures in the sunlight bring him immense joy.
•   Herb Gathering: He enjoys picking herbs from the orphanage's dingy but varied herb garden, stocking up for future experiments.
•   Interaction through Potions: Ren likes when people seek out his potions, as it makes him feel valued and wanted. He often trades his concoctions for favors rather than money.

Dislikes
•   Rejection: While he persists in offering his potions, rejection from others can deeply affect him, though he hides it well.
•   Losing Control: Ren dislikes situations where he can't control the outcome, whether in his experiments or interactions with others.

Fears
•   Abandonment: Having lost his parents at a young age, Ren fears being left alone again, despite his preference for solitude.
•   Failure: He fears his concoctions failing or not being good enough, as they are a significant part of his identity and connection to his parents.


On good days, Ren can be found quietly enjoying the shine and refraction of his mixtures in the sun or picking herbs. He is quite open to selling his drinks to anyone in need, not for money but for favors. He enjoys when people seek out his concoctions, as it means they value his work and want to interact with him.

On bad days, Ren retreats to his private space, becoming easily irritable and trying to keep his calm while stewing in resentment. He isn't above petty revenge, sometimes adding special additives to his target's milk. This serves as a distraction from his obsessive thoughts.

Ren is cheerful by nature, enjoying the simple things and the success of his experiments. He likes it when people want his potions and enjoys the subtle power he has over others through his mixtures. On bad days, he tries to maintain a good poker face, but his usual cheerfulness is absent, and others may perceive this as scorn. His mixtures become more experimental and volatile, and his fuse becomes shorter.
Ren's personality is a blend of cheerful curiosity, manipulative tendencies, and a deep-seated need for validation and connection through his potions and experiments.


Appearance:
Ren Al-Sayeed is a little shorter than average for his age, with a slight babyface that gives him a youthful appearance. He has an average weight, contributing to a balanced and healthy look. Ren is a light-skinned mixed kid, with striking black hair and clear hazel eyes that often reflect his curious nature and the shimmer of his concoctions. His overall appearance makes him seem approachable and innocent, which contrasts with his manipulative tendencies and fascination with potions

Option 2:

That rat of his was in for it now.

The gray little rascal had disappeared from his clutches at breakfast. Again.

Before Hugh even knew what was happening, Merlin had shot across the floor, somehow managing to avoid all the feet walking across the hall and had escaped through the open doors.

Which meant that Hugh was now stomping through rows of flowers and other various flora, searching for the small creature. It was like the rat knew Hugh was allergic to most flowers. Merlin always chose to run to the gardens whenever he got away from Hugh. It was as if the rat did not want to have him for an owner.

Hugh had named his pet Merlin because he had hoped the powerful name would give the rat more incentive to be more than a rat. Not that he expected Merlin to change into a wizard or anything, but rats were just so...useless, for the most part. With a name like Merlin, Hugh thought it might give the rat purpose.

The only purpose Merlin seemed to have was getting away from Hugh as often as possible.

As the fifth year trudged into the second row of flowers, not taking much care to avoid trampling the first row, he felt the first sneeze building up pressure in his nose and behind his eyes.

"You blasted rat! Where are you?"

He pulled apart a section of bright red flowers; he didn't know what they were called because he despised flowers, and ducked his head low to peer into the depths of the flowerbed. It was moving closer in proximity to the flowers that finally did it. Hugh took in three great breaths and then let out an almighty sneeze. It was strong enough to disturb some of the dirt on the ground before him.

Groaning, he stood up again and wiped his nose on his sleeve. It was as he was turning his head, his nose running up and down his arm, that movement in his peripheral vision caught his attention. Normally one who preferred to put his best face forward, Hugh was a bit embarrassed to be caught wiping his runny nose on his robes.

Nevertheless, Hugh put on his best haughty voice. albeit a bit thickly with his plugged nose and said, "Can I help you with something? It is not polite to stare."

Roleplay Response:
The sound of what only could be described as a rampaging Hippogryph sent a delicate twitch through Ren's normally steady hand trying to carefully squeeze a drop from the pipette.

Poof

The excess liquid went into the solution as the vial produced a stinky sort of smoke that was not for the faint of heart. Ren turned to see the source of the noise, staring blankly, face full of the dark gray residue.

"Uh, no, nothing. Nothing that you can do anyway.." Ren continued muttering "hm, maybe this can be used as a stink bomb...?"

"Ohh!" his auditory processing caught up with the rampaging noises the student had made earlier. "Were you looking for an actual rat, or some kind of kid who snitched on you? I did hear some faint squeeking from the section with wormwood, but this school has so many weird sounds, you can never tell."

Hi Ren!

Thank you for applying!

Your application is nearly there.

Could you please revise the following part in the biography section?

Quote
He would always know when the director, or any of her abusive boyfriends, would be in a bad mood or were thirsting for their next drink. He knew when to get out of the way or to placate them with a fun concoction.

There's an implication the abuse pertains to Ren.  Site rating requests no direct mention or description of that violence, as Ren is a minor.  If needed, you can submit a Special Request for a darker plot.

Once you've corrected that, please repost your entire application here!

Any questions, feel free to reach out.  Thanks!
