September, you better not visit so soon! >.< Thanks to your glow worm song, now I'm stuck listening to music from the 50s, 60s and 70s the entire day.

Before I forget:-
Rucran is markedly different from most of my muses. He hardly seeks familial ties with anyone. All he seems to desire is companionship. Erin and Philippe are pretty much the same. Erin is the most distant. She is closest to Selena, but even then they are still friends, not even best friends. Philippe - he is looking for things to while his time away. He likes living life on the edge.
Okay maybe I can add Dion and Bartho to the list. o.O' Bartho is a happy old bachelor who is going through second childhood. Dion is happily widowed, poisoned her own husband on their wedding day in front of everyone. Good thing most of her family approved of her doing away him since he lived out his usefulness (don't ask me why). Apparently they thought he was a bit of an idiot.
So here I am revising my first statement. Rucran is not the more markedly different from the rest of my muses. -.-'

How many flirty characters do I have?
Erin - by occupation. Selena because she enjoys having power over men. Cerise who is a bit of a nymphomaniac, and perhaps bi (the only girl to date to ever groped Angus Filch unless there are other HP OCs out there I haven't me). Philippe who loves pretty things, especially women with slim waists (this disturbs me somewhat).
Darius? He's a shared muse/non muse/character - still can't classify him correctly. But definitely most girls seem infatuated with him.
Bartho? No unless you happen to be a mouse, female, and pretty nerdy. God a professor picking up his students? Hope not.
Ron and Amelia don't count apparently, since they only have eyes for each other and flirt to annoy the other. <.< And considering that Amelia is a shapeshifter *whistles* it would appear Ron is flirting more than he actually is.
Dion - an ice queen if there ever was one. She is married to her job. Not that she is a workaholic, mind.

Brainy muses?
Marie is a child prodigy so that's one (cross disciplinary intelligence). Laurence (or Lawrence, can't decide on the spelling) who can teach almost any subject. <.<' I can think of a few exceptions but most won't get it. He is a pure academic. A better student than teacher. His students don't understand his homework assignments most of the time. Nicole, but she is more of an inventor than an academic. A regular opportunist.
Muses I eliminated:
Bartho & Qwertel - you don't actually need brains to get a PhD. Both of them are exceedingly hardworking. And in Qwertel's case, she's a workaholic (a form of OCD).
Aiden - third child and second son. All I can say he is carried away by his own intelligence but sadly he isn't that brilliant.
Levi (Laramie) - unless a knack for playing Quidditch and having ADHD makes you brilliant... *shrugs*
Selena - she's logical but hardly a genius. Common sense is always good when you have it in excess. IF she applies it. Being dramatic seems to negate it at times.
Erin has good social skills. So she appears more intelligent than she really is. Well to give her credit I'd say average with a streak of brilliance (occasionally).
Teru. He taught himself a lot of things. However I still can't be sure just how smart he is. He doesn't think the way most of my other muses do.
Eva is a gifted dancer, but she isn't extremely good in other areas. She is an average student. A rather slow learner in fact. She also from some form of speech disorder. This was the reason why she landed up being homeschooled. She couldn't cope with normal education.
Cerise - I found myself going rofl! She has no time to think of other things other than clothes, women, men and enjoying herself. She is a good a dueling but nothing more. She is also stubborn to a fault. She will never take no for an answer. Wives, you better keep your husbands closer. Still the most stubborn of my muses is Anna.

More Notes
Cerise and Selena:
Definitely different now that I think about it. Selena is power hungry in some sense whereas Cerise lives with a sense of entitlement. The redhead will strive to better herself to maintain her hold over others. The blonde will simply get bored and move on. Cerise also loses out to Selena when it comes to dueling. Plus the blonde isn't the best duelist in her family. She is just one of the better ones among her peers.
The Cheerful ....
Eva has a very bubbly personality that is unmatched. Few things can't turn that smile upside down. But quite a number of things can change that smile to a scowl - one of which is her family. I suggest you leave Atticus alone unless you want her to go berserk on you.
September, evil and happy. "Evil" because I don't believe there is such a thing as true evil. Despicable yes but not evil. She will only stick with you in good times. She vanishes when things start to turn ugly. A fair weathered friend in every sense of the word. Someone with zilch compassion. Don't get me wrong. She knows right from wrong unlike Amelia whose sense of morality is screwed up.
Teru is one of the more jovial visitors I have had in a long time. He sees the humor in almost any situation. Still it is a facade. Being so long lived can't be fun. Especially when you know that most of your friends are long gone. This is probably the best way to keep sane. Nope, my perverse sense of humor has nothing to do with him. -.- *looks at Philippe and Nyx and Amelia* *points to each in turn* There's your answer.
Rucran is happy-go-lucky. He loves dancing in the rain, skateboarding, flying a kite... and so much more. Seriously he manages to cheer up the children in the children's ward at the hospital, but he isn't Patch Adams. He is just a nurse with some escapist tendencies. He clings on to the optimistic because he can't cope with life otherwise. Or that is what he feels. Not sure why.
He would definitely be one of the few who would break into a fit of uncontrollably laughter if he has to participate in one of Marcus' Games. Will he be the first to die from hiccoughs? o.O I ... don't ... want to know. I like him too much to find out.

Yay for first editable post! I want to make notes before I forget. o.O
Just for larks:
The Conyers
Mrs. Conyers (The Matriarch) ------ Mr. Conyers
Jacqueline Éloise Conyers + Mrs. Conyers was married at 16. She had her first child at 17 shortly after graduating. + Her best subject was Arithmancy. + She is exceptional good with finance. + Good judgement and sheer force of character helped her expand the family business far beyond what her father-in-law would have expected. + No matter how much she has achieved, she is still not satisfied. She feels that something is missing from her life. + Mrs. Conyers name - I was debating between Jacqueline and Jeannine. I settled on Jacqueline which means supplanter. She replaced her husband as the head of the family business simply because she felt she was more competent (and she was right). + Wand: 10''. Aspen. Core (unknown at the moment - phoenix feather or dragon heart string, I'm more for the latter) (supple)
Children (by birth order):
Colette Conyers (b. March 7 1970) + Name Meaning: People of Victory (origin: French and Greek) + First born and takes after her mother. + She is intelligent and highly observant. + Aspired to be a Healer from a very young age. Nothing could change her mind after that. + Her Patronus takes a form of a dragon (a Hungarian Horntail to be precise). + Married to a diplomat - possibly Hungarian or Russian. I think Russian *pokes memory* Was introduced to her husband by her brother, Lowell. + Two children - both boys, younger than Laramie. + House at Hogwarts: Ravenclaw (like her mother) + Wand: 10'' 3/4. Larch. Unicorn Hair (highly rigid)
Lowell Conyers (b. August 9 1972) + Name Meaning: Young Wolf (origin: Old French) + Ambitious and proud, Lowell always seeks to better himself and bring honor to his family name. + He is the most unforgiving of his siblings. + Do not cross him or it might be the last thing you do. + Some say he's a corrupt ministry official, but hardly anyone dares to confront him about it. + Money doesn't interest him, so there must be something else. + Definitely well-read. + His Patronus is a Lion (quite ironic to be honest). + Married with three children - one boy and two girls, two of which are older than their uncle. + House at Hogwarts: Slytherin + Wand: 11'' 3/4. Ebony. *Hippogriff Feather (inflexible)
Cosette Conyers (b. January 2 1975) + Name Meaning: Little Thing (origin: French) + Quiet to the point that most won't notice her. + Undisputed heir to the family business - an iron fist in a velvet glove. + Emotionally distant from most people save her children if she were to have any. + Married but no longer living with her husband. + House at Hogwarts: Slytherin + Wand: 12''1/2. Cherry. Dragon Heart String. (durable)
Laurence Lawrence Conyers (b. August 31 1978) + Name Meaning: City south of Rome known for its laurel trees (origin: Latin); Laurence is the feminine form of Lawrence (origin: French) + Sensitive and emotional. + Academically brilliant (a genius according to some), but definitely not another Dumbledore + Took the maximum number of OWLs and NEWTs possible and scored a distinction in every subject (save Divination - he scored a grade lower than a distinction). + Intellectual snob - he has no patience to explain things to his students who can't follow him. + Teaches Astronomy, but can substitute for almost any subject possible. + Has a strong interest in Muggle Studies + Participated in Quidditch as the team manager (helped them with strategies not that the team ever listened to him much) + Is the closest to Levi though he often loses his temper with the poor kid. + Has a vindictive streak that has mellowed over time. + Not too comfortable conforming to social norms. + Gives in to Lowell on a regular basis and allows Colette to dictate his life. + Married. Has one daughter who is a year or two older than Laramie. + House at Hogwarts: Slytherin; many thought he was in Ravenclaw. + Wand: 14''. Dogwood. Veela's Hair (highly temperamental, may grow rigid with time)
Cerise Conyers (b. November 15 1980) + Name Meaning: Cherry (origin: French and English) + Fashion magazine editor with her own perfume label + Author of 365 Charms to Bewitch Your Husband + Very chic + Bisexual + Cunning + Charismatic + Unmotivated when it comes to studying + Loves having a lot of friends - she is familiar with most of the good looking boys in her year + Somehow remained a virgin till her wedding despite her nymphomaniac tendencies (caught her own mother by surprise) + Best at dueling and perhaps potions + Married to a musician (a conductor of sorts...) + Is the only one among her siblings who tried drugs. She has tried most party drugs. She is also very up to date about the latest ones. + Loves drinking and partying till late at night. + Her Patronus is a peacock. + House at Hogwarts: Slytherin + Wand: 8''. Sycamore. Veela's Hair (delightfully springy)
Laramie (Levi) Conyers (b. September 1 2002) + Name Meaning: Tears of Love (origin: French) + Has cousins and nieces and nephews who are older than him. + Has ADHD (undiagnosed) - his parents were worried that he might not make the cut to enter Hogwarts due to his learning disabilities. Levi is a very slow learner because he finds it hard to concentrate. + Hardly gets along with any of his siblings save Lawrence. Colette is aware of Levi's condition but their mother won't accept it. + Loves red and House Elves. Made a few friends in the Hogwarts kitchen shortly after arriving and can be seen helping them scrubbing the floors in the wee hours of the morning much to his family's horror. + Tends to get more hyper once he has too much sugar. + Hardly wears his Hogwarts robes during the first few months of school - he alternated between a toga (yes... without a top), his pajamas and later a lion suit with a swishy tail. + Best friend with his peer tutor Nicole Chan. + A visual learner; learns best with diagrams rather than text. + Quidditch Position - Keeper + His Animagus form is a rabbit. + His Patronus is a Jack Rabbit. + House in Hogwarts: Gryffindor + Wand: 10'' 1/2. Cedar. *Augurey Feather (swishy)
Nephews/Nieces:
Gilles Conyers (b. October 22 1982) + Older cousin to Laramie (and siblings) + Educated in Beauxbatons + Currently living in Argentina (has a ranch there) + Works as a dragon breeder + Never really close to anyone in his family + His Patronus takes a form of a highly voluptuous woman (a banshee? a veela?) - no guesses that he casts this spell often o.O' + Wand: Length. Pine. Core (unknown)
Note: 1) Is it just me or do I find the fact that Levi was born 32 years after his sister funny? 3 and 2 are the roughly the intervals his siblings are born at. Also that means his mother was 49 when he was born. o.O 2) Not all of Levi's relatives attend Hogwarts. Most of them live in France. 3) Of the Conyers children, only Cerise and Lowell can cast an corporeal Patronus. Lawrence's Patronus depends on his mood. And Levi is just Levi - unexpected. 4) Cerise isn't pretty, she's vivacious. Cosette is the prettiest of the three sisters, but even then she only has the ability to catch the eye of some men when she enters the room. Colette has an intimidating demeanor which actually scared potential suitors away.
Version 1 (19/02/12) Shall edit once I figure out their wands. * means I'll have to edit it, I definitely more resources.
Version 2 (20/02/12) Had Comma look through my profile for me...

Another editable post...
Nicole Chan (b. June 16 2000) + Born in Hong Kong 3 years after the handover + Bi-racial, bi-national and perhaps bi-cultural (Father is Chinese and Mother is British) + Very Chinese in her outlook on life though more British in her mannerisms + Closest to her paternal grandmother and her mother + Her parents divorced when she was five. Her father remarried less than a year after. Her stepbrother was born when she was around seven. + Lives with her mother in Britain, but visits her family back in China + Her mum was a diplomat working in Hong Kong. Her dad was overseeing the family business there, that's how they met. + Academically brilliant since young, she had no problem coping with syllabus for children 2 to 3 years older than she was. + She was interested in physics, robotics and mathematics. She learned how to hack, but didn't get very far (yet). She was far too distracted with building little robotic wonders. + Muggleborn, there is no known witches or wizards on either side of her family + Was very disappointed with the lack of technology in Hogwarts and wishes to rectify that. Her first few attempts landed up exploding quite literally. + Holds grudges against those who wronged her (=/ I wouldn't call her a Mudblood if I were you) + Her Patronus is a mousedeer (she was kind of hoping for a panda or a red panda) + House at Hogwarts: Hufflepuff (however she does qualify for Slytherin as well) + Wand: 11'' 1/4. Acacia. Unicorn Hair (mixed with Demiguise Hair). (springy but will not break easily)

Wow I'm highly confused. o.O I posted in Reaver's rp. The post was supposed to appear on page 2 initially. When I checked there was nothing. So I posted a blank post. Which appeared. Puzzled, I deleted it. The original post then reappeared on page 1. Proboard error?
