Sit back relax recover
A fine time for me forgetting you
Get down regret and wonder
who really ever tells the truth
I will surround your heart with lies
And its a heavy burden on me
Heavy burden I have never felt before
A fine time for me forgetting you
Get down regret and wonder
who really ever tells the truth
I will surround your heart with lies
And its a heavy burden on me
Heavy burden I have never felt before

Ivan Morris Kendell was born on a nasty spring day. His parents were both working folk, but they both had to take the day off for a little while once he was born. Once he was older though, he was often put into the care of daycares. Despite that fact, he was not that social, and he started to complain about going there every day. His parents were concerned about his behavior, and he was unwilling to be around muggles that were around his own age. This was when he was only a small child, and he already understood the difference between himself and the other kids in town. Muggles generally accepted his parents because they had learned had to blend well. Ivan was more of a kid they looked at with caution, though. He met Rita at around this age, and knew that she was also being rejected by the people around them.
He hanged out with Rita whenever possible; he was now ignoring the general muggle community. One of the first gifts that he got when he got a bit older was a cheap little kid camera. It became his favorite possession for many years. Ivan started to take all sorts of different pictures with it. The pictures ranged from silly Rita pictures, to pictures of flowers and scenery. His parents approved of his hobby and soon gave him a professional camera around the time of his tenth birthday. Ivan was so excited to learn how to use it and was actually personally taught by a professional at that age. It seemed that he would become an unstoppable photographing genius, especially if he gained access to magic and what it had to offer. The ability was gained while he was taking a photo, and everyone was so excited to see that his magic had finally decided to appear.
The boy was very excited when he got his letter from Hogwarts right after that moment. They both headed to Hogwarts together and got put into the house of intelligence and wisdom, Ravenclaw. At first, he very much focused on his studies, so had a good understanding of what the subjects were about fairly quickly. Things clicked easily with him, and soon he saw the benefits of following Rita along for social affairs. Ivan was Rita's number one supporter when she first started the articles, and still supports her by supplying pictures for the main article and some of the side articles to make them more appealing to readers. For him, capturing the right expressions to set the right tone is an art. He at first stayed out of social affairs when the articles started to be written but that soon changed.
It was his third year when he decided to get involved personally in social affairs. He went to a party and made his move on a lady that was a fifth year there. Ivan said things that were very charming and subtle in nature, and they say that once him and the girl left to be in private, his virginity was lost. This has never been confirmed or denied, but after that he became a ladies' man. Many girls saw that he knew how to treat a woman, and always went for women that had good self-esteem behind them. He became a very light drinker, never getting drunk off of beer or the like. It seemed that he was doing his best just to enjoy life to its fullest. Everything about what he was doing was half-full in his eyes, and he honestly did not care what Rita thought about what he was doing. To this day he still flirts with girls on a pretty regular basis.
There is one secret that he wishes to reveal soon. He wishes to tell the world that he is a bisexual. Ivan is aware that it may make people look at him in a different way, but he is not as concerned about that as he used to be. Having that relief fill him is the desired goal of doing such a thing. Once he has that done he will feel free to actually be himself and not lie. It is true that he enjoys his women, but he wants to find what pleasures he can gain from men. He finds some of them just as attractive and wants to explore new territory. The artistic community that he also secretly hangs out with is aware of the secret that he hides. Rita is unaware of this and that is true for her two writing companions as well. His fifth year is when he plans to reveal all and see who will remain when the dust settles from such a bombshell of an announcement.

He is the type that knows how to carefully select his words to get a certain desired result. Being a person of charm, he knows that the more subtle the words are, the more likely they are going to be effective. Ivan can easily make things sound soft or loud, and make you come in close to hear what he has to say. The boy has learned how to get people's attention through tone, and that reflects in the photographs that he has taken as well. Everything he does, he does to try to set a public tone about his aspirations and goals in life overall. This attention to detail is what makes his photographs strike the desired chord that Rita and the other two writers wish to put across in their written articles. Even if people do not approve of the articles themselves, they have to admit that Ivan is very good at making very fitting photographs.
One of his not so strong suits is being in big crowds, he can act charming, but he prefers to focus on one person at a time. If he has to talk to multiple people at once, that is where he slips slightly. He is more of a listener in a group, and seems shy unless a person knows better than that. A lot of the things he does, he does in small circles where intimacy is a large key to its success. Ivan is designed for success due to working in these groups and studying in these small groups. He studies often, but does not make a habit of doing nothing but grinding on a daily basis. There are days he gets carried away though, and can kill a Hogsmeade morning easily working on an essay that he is trying to make the professors adore every little detail of when it is handed in for them to grade.
Kenny will always defend the endeavors of his best friend Rita, but is aware that she has changed a lot over time. He also is not so willing to be forgiving on everything she says like Gracie. The boy is a true friend to Rita, not a friend that is fair weathered or someone she can easily manipulate. His best memory was meeting Rita, and that will never ever change. But, his worst memory also has to do with Rita and what she has been up to. She broke that camera that had meant so much to him, and even though that thing was cheap, it still upset him. It was not anything that should have been world ending, but since photography is his passion, it was a very big deal at the time. The only reason it remains his worst memory is the view of his current situation and how he is viewing it in a very positive manner.
His wand is Willow with Unicorn Hair and is around seven inches. It is a wand that he often uses for charms and such. Ivan uses his wand any at certain times, though it has value to him. The boy has a patronus in the form of a horse, which shows off his graceful nature. He has a very good sense of style and what works on him, and that shines through in helping him be charming towards others, whether the sex of the person be the same or different. More often than not he will wear colors that bring out his eyes and make them somewhat of a centerpiece of his face. This along with his wand is what indeed makes his seem like a rather attractive man besides just the genetic gifts that he was blessed with by both of his parents when he was born.[/ul]

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
DO WE CREATE THE MODERN MYTH?
DO WE IMAGINE HALF OF IT?
-----------------------------------------------------------Ryan headed towards the library not in the search of books, but for his brother Kevin Willis. Kevin had always been a hardcore studier, so he knew that Kevin would be there. He brought a few of his textbooks so it would see like studying was his propose. Anyone that knew him well would think that he was sick if that was indeed his intention. He headed into the library and looked around the area to see where Kevin was trying to drill certain things that he felt he needed into his head. Ryan never had understood why Kevin always went after perfection in everything that he did. Nothing could ever truly be perfect, and it should be left that way.
He sat down beside him once he found him, and looked over at the project of perfection he was trying to make now. Ryan shook his head a bit, seeing that it was only a simple letter to the Ministry. "How about this?" Ryan got out a piece of parchment and started to write with speed that was often unknown to Kevin. It talked about how Kevin was qualified and actually sounded pretty decent for a quick write down of something. He had added style and flow to it, and much of a voice in the paper; which, usually is thought as impossible by most perfectionists. "Now do what I did, just write. Don't let your inner-perfectionist get in the way. You can always call this your first draft and then fix it up after you are done."
Ryan started to clean up the mess he had made for his older brother and gets out a bit of parchment from his bag after that. He throws all the no good stuff according to Kevin away and starts to watch. the boy was going to make sure that he actually got this done in a timely manner so he could focus on other things, like homework. "Like I said, just write this one, then let it sit and then edit it." The boy said rather gently to him, trying to be encouraging. There was no way that he would ever let Kevin fail and something that was so important to him. It was unexpected behavior out of him, but it wasn't out of character to say the least.
"Try to be relaxed about it, the first draft doesn't have to be the perfect one." He went to one of his text books and started to read, now leaving his brother to his own devices for the moment. Ryan reads about ten or so pages of the book, taking notes on the things that he thought were important and then closed the book up. The boy got out what looked like a journal and started to write in it instead. Every stroke was natural and rushed in Ryan's typical fashion. It seemed that Ryan never did look for perfection in what he wrote, nor the first try of anything that he ever did. He only sought out perfection in the final product, since that was usually all a person ever saw. This was an easy concept for him to understand, and more often than not was what ended up giving him the best results in whatever he did.-------------------------------------------------------------
