[Name:] Edgar Artax Bones
[Nicknames:] Bones, Eddie
[Gender:] Male
[Blood:] Full Blood (while both his parents are magical, there are quite a few muggles and muggle borns in his family tree.)
[Age:] 17 going on 18
[Date of Birth:] November 30, 1955
[Date of Death:] May 2, 1980
[Chinese Zodiac:] Year of the Horse
[Tarot:]
[Strengths:] Edgar’s strength is his mind. He can puzzle out any problem put before him. The tough ones take time of course, but Edgar will not only figure out a way to solve them, he usually sees more than one answer. For example, if you asked him to divide the number 8 in half, Edgar can see three answers right away. The obvious mathematical one, 4. But he also sees that eight divided in half creates to circles, as if a line had been drawn horizontally through the middle. He also sees it with a line drawn down the center vertically, creating a 2 threes, one of them backwards. It’s not cheek…it’s just the way his mind works
[Weaknesses:] His weakness would be that he doesn’t trust his feelings and he lets his brain interfere with his heart. And it’s a shame, because Edgar has a good heart and excellent instincts, but he has to constantly analyze his emotional decisions until they are no longer emotional. It makes it hard to love, and yet Edgar wants so desperately to love and be loved.
[Sun Sign:] Ravenclaw Sagittarians are the philosophers of the magical world. They love pure theory, pure mathematics, and anything that appeals to their yearning for far horizons, whether those horizons be physical (in which case they will do a lot of traveling) or mental. They excel at astrology and research, and have the rare gift of both being able to investigate a subject deeply and then being able to explain it to other people in plain language. This makes for excellent teaching potential. They are cheerful, athletic, brisk, and humourous, and also decidedly eccentric. Sometimes they get on people's nerves, because they don't have as many interpersonal skills as they seem to think they have, but it's hard to stay mad at a Ravenclaw Sagittarian for very long. They're just too goofy.

[Height:] 5'9" and he uses every inch of it. He's not the tallest bloke by far, but he uses it to his advantage when he can.
[Weight:] Fluctuating 150 to 155 lbs.
[[Hair:] Brown. Not dark brown, or light brown, but right in the middle. He gets it cut short when he's gone home ot see his mum, but it ends up the same, floppy, wavy and in his eyes.
[Eyes:] Blue. Amazingly blue. So blue it hurts.
[Build:] Lean with wiry, sinewy muscle underneath.
[Defining Marks:] Besides smatterings of freckles almost everywhere except his face, Edgar is an average bloke, but he does have a sea turtle tattoo on his back, right shoulder blade.
[Complexion:] Edgar is pale. He will always be pale, and no amount of Quidditch or laying out in the summer is able to fix that. All he gets is freckles. Never tan.
[Dress Style:] When not wearing his school robes, he has a tendency for casual muggle clothing. Especially the kind of clothing worn by surfers in 1970's Australia. If it's warm enough, he will be in board shorts and t-shirts. And flip flops. But as, England is far colder than his native Australia, he wears normal teenage clothing, jeans, sweatshirts, t-shirts and the like.

[Right/Left/Ambidextrous:] Left handed
[Eyesight:] Fair, but getting strained and wears glasses occasionally, especially when studying
[Hearing:] A notch or two above average
[Sense of Smell:] Better than average. He recognizes food smells and people quite well.
[Disabilities and/or Handicaps:] Edgar doesn't have any physical disabilities or handicaps, he's pretty average.
[Health:] Usually quite good, however he can get a bit of a nervous stomach when he is stressed or nervous.
[Mental Health:] He had to undergo a rigorous ritual where in he had to fight his daemons in order to be admitted into his aboriginal tribe in Australia. This made him very strong mentally, and helps him cope when things get rough.
[Extrovert/Introvert:] Extrovert
[Phobias/Fears:] Edgar is not afraid of much really, at least he's never thought of it. If he had to do some soul searching, he'd say he's afraid of ending up alone. His greatest irrational fear is a Bunyip. It’s a mythical Australian creature. The stuff nightmares are made of, and one of the things Edgar cannot even begin to puzzle out, because he’s always been too afraid to deal with it. The Aborigines Edgar studied with often told stories about the Bunyip and that has always been Edgar’s biggest fear. When he went on his vision quest at the rip old age of 13, he’d had to fight one. Of course, it’s unclear if he really did fight one or his mind only made him think so, but he conquered it as part of his quest. Of course, to this day his boggart remains a Bunyip.

[Quirks and/or Habits:] Edgar is always trying to puzzle things out. He is often seen mumbling to himself as he ponders questions and tries to find their logical answer. He believes he can puzzle out anything.
[Likes:] Puzzles, mysteries, muggle mystery novels, muggle rock music, poetry.
[Dislikes:] Brussel Sprouts, liver and onions, most slytherins, pure blood mania
[Hobbies and Interests:] reading muggle mysteries or anything historical, be it muggle or wizarding. But not the History of Magic. That class and the text book are bloody boring.
[Strengths in Magic:] Flying, potions and charms. He's a bit better than fair at transfiguration too. Seeing as it's closely related to charms. He's average at DADA, and it's one of his favorite subjects, but he doesn't excel in it like others. But he did well enough on his Owls to go on to NEWTs. He learned ancient runes on his own, and was allowed to take the OWL exam. Passing it, he traded that for Divination his 6th year.
[Weaknesses in Magic:] Divination. He gave it up gratefully when he couldn't pass the OWL.
[Goals and Dreams:] To find his true love, and be an influential wizard. He'd love to be an Auror or work in the Department of Mysteries one day. Or a professional Quidditch player. That would suit him just fine!
[First Impression:]Everybody loves Edgar. He's Head Boy, Captain of the Quidditch team and an all around NICE GUY.
