[attr="class","GGcontainer2temp1"][break][break] [attr="class","GGcontenttemp1"] Arik Winters, is a patient character, surly and perhaps a little bit intimidating he’s a hard worker not afraid of toil or any form of hard labor. Introverted and just a tiny bit aloof Ari comes across as a man torn between dealing with the horrors he’s seen in his life and the sense of fierce determination that resulted from protecting his fellow students in the battle of hogwarts. Of course this doesn’t define he’s personality. Quick witted and rather canny, he’s a watchful young man; slightly sardonic and just a little bit cynical he’s self-aware and quite confident in his own abilities as a wizard.[break][break] Friendly to those who wish to get to know him he’s a social creature though many wouldn’t suggest it due to his moody atmosphere? He doesn’t understand why many paint him as a scary character – is it the beard – pah it has to be the beard. His no nonsense attitude could be to blame, he isn’t exactly rude to people but he’ll suddenly become very cold and rather snappy – he certainly doesn’t believe in failure and refuses to take no for an answer. Though while he’s one to agree that problems whether they be work related or just general issues in his everyday life, can be corrected he’s more likely to make a big fuss over it before he calms down and assesses it properly. Ari would never admit it, but he’s quite a sensitive character he has a big heart and regardless of how many walls he puts up he can’t not care about the people in his life. Even if it’s for their own good to be left behind.[break][break] Stubborn as hell and incredibly passionate about the things he cares about – and his work - he’s quite opinionated but he also knows when it’s the most sensible time to voice these opinions. That doesn’t compromise his bravery he simply pragmatic in his approach to the situation – shouting and screaming will get you into trouble – working quietly behind the scenes on the other hand will keep you alive and help the cause. That being said he’s not in the order of the phoenix for any personal gain; he’s by no means ambitious nor is sly. Ari’s happy being a loyal cog in the machine working to create a better future for the young minds of today, unfortunately he’s also well aware of the reality of the situation and while he can put his full trust in the order and supports them he’s terrified of the consequences of failure.[break][break] [break][break] Arik Louis Winters was born on a rainy September night to Katia Amtar an Algerian immigrant who’d sought to move to England to start a new life. She never found that new life, after a month of living in Newcastle Katia met Derek Winters a muggle eco lawyer who was entranced by her exotic beauty. They had a whirlwind relationship and when she announced her pregnancy he handed her an envelope filled with 75,000 muggle pounds and left her. Turns out Derek was married with a family of his own and made it clear if Katia tried to pursue him he’d make her disappear. He did have one strange request though, that the child keep his last name.[break][break] Scared for the life of her unborn child Katia struggled on and used the money to secure a modest flat and saved the rest, choosing to survive on benefits once Arik was born – due to her inability to work. Ari didn’t have the greatest childhood, they got buy and there was always food on the table but he was terribly lonely, he could also do things. Weird things, like once he fell out of the balcony of their high rise flat and instead of plummeting to this death he floated back up and over the side to safety. He never told his mother until the letters started to arrive. Detailing a special magical school for people like him.[break][break] Ari had never been so excited, a school just for him. His mother was disbelieving at first until Hogwarts sent and associate to discuss the matter of Ari’s attendance. Finally relenting they sought funding from the school - due to their financial situation - and Ari packed his bags for Kings Cross station. Once he arrived she was immediately sorted into Hufflepuff, and took his place at the badgers table. He loved school and while he wasn’t the cleverest wizard he worked hard to improve his grades.[break][break] But with friends came enemies and in his third year - after he’d watched a foul mouthed Ravenclaw pick on one of his friends Ari got detention for the first time for “inducing a fight”. He wouldn’t apologize, even now, needless to say he and that certain Ravenclaw never see eye to eye. Fourth year Ari joined the quidditch team and became a powerful beater, Hufflepuff never had many victories but in true to their name fashion they were diligent and Ari was confident in his teams ability. As time past and the world changed Ari grew increasingly worried about the state of the wizarding world, that being said he joined the DA during his fifth year ready to become a part of something that would bring some form of change - especially under Umbridges rule. He was a muggle born and when the dark lord took over immediately went into hiding abroad with his mother only returning when the DA summoned him a week before the final battle.[break][break] The final battle became a life changing experience for Ari, he was hit by an unknown curse by a death eater - one that didn't begin to show any symptoms until months after the battle was won. The curse itself gradually began to make him sick, he had bouts of weakness and sickness that gradually took its toll on his poor body. Finally after having enough he visited St Mungo's who informed him after a number of tests that he had been cursed and if they couldn’t figure out the nature of the curse his body would eventually shut down. For all of summer Ari spent his time locked away in his room researching dark magic but to no avail. Finally he decided to return to Hogwarts to finish his education and hopefully utilize the library (the restricted section) in hopes of discovering the hex that cursed him and how to reverse it.[break][break] Of course so far he's had no luck, and is beginning to resign himself to his fate. Terrified of death yet thoroughly convinced it's inevitably he's completley lost, but he'd never admit it. Slowly drawing in on himself and losing himself to introversion he's a shadow of who he once was (the confident beater).
