GERARD JACKSON RIBET
Name: Gerard Ribet
Nicknames/Aliases:Ger, Frog
Age: 16
Date of Birth: October 8th
Blood Status: Half-Blood "It's a complicated kind of half-blood."
Hair Color: blond
Eye Color: silver-gray (charmed to appear brown)
Physical Description: Ger definitely has the look of somebody not quite totally human, though that's usually meant as a compliment. It's not really any one feature that gives him away, just a general sort of ethreal-ness to his appearance. He is undeniably pretty, far prettier than most boys, his features are small and sort of delicate. Big eyes with long lashes and petite nose, almost a perfect cupid's bow mouth.
Physically, he's quite petite about 5'6" or a little taller, and he's rather slight on top of that, skinny and again, delicate looking. Though he is not physically weak, he may not be particularly strong but though he looks delicate he's more solid than people might guess. Though it's impossible to tell by looking but he wears a permanent glamor charm, to cover the fact that he's half-fae and half-human. Without the charm his eyes are naturally a silvery-gray color and his ears are much longer and pointed.
When it comes to clothes, he's more than comfortable in his robes for school but because of his long love and fascination with muggle culture he also has plenty of clothes you wouldn't expect to own and he wears those as often as he's permitted to do so.

General Personality:
Ger or as most of his friends call him Frog, is very much a big kid trapped in the body of somebody slightly older than his mental age. He's a little reckless and careless, likes to go around looking for a good time. He seeks out fun like he's got a magnet inside of him that knows where it is. He's rather childish and doesn't like to take things too seriously, he tends to let things shrug off of his shoulders. He goes with the flow of life, making a joke out of almost everything and not letting things bother him too much. He has discovered that going with the flow really helps cut a lot of the drama out of his life and if there is anything that Frog doesn't like, it's excessive drama. Except when he's on stage playing with a band, up there the more dramatic and theatrical, the better it is.
Frog is an extremely loving kind of person, he's very open minded and responses well to most different kind of people, though he tends to befriend other artistic and creative types like himself, though he pretty much lives by the rule that if somebody doesn't have a problem with him than he doesn't have a problem with them, it fits very well into his whole easy going take on life. If you do befriend him than you should be totally prepared for an onslaught of affection. Frog is a very tactile person and with people he likes and cares about he can't keep his hands to himself. He's touchy-feely to the truest extent of the term, giving away hugs and cuddles and kisses on the cheek to express his happiness. Another thing, he loved to cuddle, after his childhood, he loves affection from other people, and he’s unashamed about how much he enjoys being held by a warm person, it doesn't even have to be romantic in the least.
Like anybody else Frog has a bit of a temper, though he's not one to anger overly easily, but if you know what buttons to press and how to do them it isn't all that hard to get him steamed up. However, unlike most people Frog isn't the kind to scream and yell, he gets quiet. He avoids fights and arguing as a general rule, preferring to take out his aggression on somebody who really pisses him off by being passive-aggressive and sneaky about revenge. In this way, having magic is good for him, he's the sort of person who'd rather use his magic in a confrontation than words, it's easier to express himself when truly angry through his magic.
While Frog isn't stupid by any means he can be well, he can be a little bit oblivious when it comes to things. He doesn't pay that much attention to what is going around him so he can often time miss things that are obvious to other people around him but are hiding right under his nose. It's kind of a problem sometimes, especially when it comes to people are interested in him in a romantic way, subtle just tends to be something that goes right over his head.

Brief History:
Ger's family history is, as one might guess from having just some bare facts about him, complicated. His mother, born Stella Grimm, was the only daughter born to the Emerson and Morgana Grimm. An old pureblood clan, who used to be rich but had squandered it somewhere along the way and was left with not much more in the world beyond their blood status, a daughter (Stella), a squib and a large house that had once been opulent but had sat without enough without attention and had started to look vaguely haunted. Needless to say, Stella hadn't been the daughter they'd hoped for, ashamed of her from the moment she hadn't received a Hogwarts letter she'd gave up on trying to please them and made her own way in the world.
She was 20 when she met Kallan Bramble, a fae who was about as beautiful as any of his kind had ever been, and Stella may have never had magic but she'd never lacked a magic with men and the two had a brief but very passionate and physical love affair. They'd been over for nearly a month by the time she realized that she was pregnant, which left her with a big problem.
However, what Ger's mother lacked in magic she made up for in two ways, she was physically beautiful and was about as clever and cruel as anybody who'd ever been sorted into Slytherin house. She bought a bottle of love potion and managed to charm herself into a date with Jackson Ribet, a wealthy pureblood wizard who had managed to not be snagged up into an arranged marriage. She drugged him with love potion and seduced him with all her charms. By the time she tearfully confessed to being pregnant by another man she had a sob story that made her seem just the right amount of pathetic victim and a wizard who was so taken by her and head over heels, that he agreed to marry her and take responsible for the child.
Gerard was born not more than a few months after their honeymoon and even as an infant, his heritage was plain from his looks, big unnaturally beautiful grey eyes and pointed ears. Jackson was remarkably logical about the whole thing, using a glamor charm whenever they took the baby out in public, one that not only made Ger look like a normal human, but also more like Jackson could have maybe been the father. Ger's heritage was a family 'secret' but with the rumor mill of high society being what it was, it basically meant everybody knew the truth, they were just polite enough to pretend they didn't.
Unlike his mother, Gerard had magic and it displayed itself early in weird occurrences around the house and the parents couldn't have been more pleased to have a wizard for a son.
Gerard grew up, rather normally, well, normal for a wizard and somebody who wasn't 100% human. He had nannies and tutors who watched him and kept him in line and he basically had a run of the large house he lived in with his parents and the freedom to do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't cause trouble.
The Ribet mansion wasn't in a purely wizarding neighborhood, it was a large, old, manor type house in an area spaced with several similar houses, some of them wizard and others muggle and Gerard played with all the other little rich kids in the neighborhood, both magical and non. That was the start of his friendships with muggles and what would turn out to be the root of his fascination with non-magical culture.
When Ger was 7 an addition was added to the family, a little brother, technically Ger's half brother. Ger took to being a big brother and something like a hero and a role model and they became close, Ger spending a lot of time with his brother, watching him and playing with him and generally being the good older brother.
Ger's life was comfortable, if a little boring, he had plenty of free time to himself and he soon found himself getting more into muggle culture, including rock and roll. One thing he decided, was that muggles definitely had the better music. He became fascinated with rock music in all it's forms and got himself a guitar and spent a lot of the time working towards his Hogwarts letter by teaching himself how to play.
Hogwarts has been something like a comfortable blur, a place with friends and good food and memories that are more precious than he knows how to put into words, the place is home, definitely the closest to a traditional home as Ger has ever been and he loves the place.
RP Sample:
Ger was having a fucking delicious dream, not that he really realized it was a dream at that moment because well, you just couldn't be consciously aware of that shit while you were asleep. Last night had been long, they'd run late at a recording session and by the time he'd gotten home he'd still been riding that post music high he always is, even though there had been no audience, no crush of loud, dancing fans catcalling for more when they don't have anything left. He always feels powerful post playing though, like he's on a music induced high and nothing can touch him. So, he'd called Calla and she'd come over and they'd fucked, it had been good, damn good, the girl could be a little combative but she was good in bed. She had to work in the morning though, early, earlier than he gets up so he knew he'd wake up alone well after she'd showered and left.
He's in a warm pool of water, clear and tropical blue, like a fruity cocktail and he's floating like he weighs nothing. There are these sexy water nymphs all around him, all naked and smooth wet skin, different degrees of tan, their eyes are all big and blue, their hair long and multicolored, bright and unnatural like the stage lights for their shows. They trail out in the water around them like primary color halos. Their hands are everywhere on him, brushing, touching rubbing, all of them grinning at him and he's underwater but doesn't have to breath, it doesn't matter. Needless to say, it's a great dream.
There are arms around him, warm and solid....real and he's being pulled out of the dream, picture fading as he becomes aware of the bed, the tangled sheets around his slim legs. There are arm around him though, strong, and big, solid. Way too muscular to belong to his dream nymphs, even if one of them had been a really butch lesbian water nymph. He groaned, and pressed his face more firmly and stubbornly into his soft pillow, nuzzling his face against the Egyptian cotton. He breathes in catching Ollie's familiar scent of cologne and the sound of his voice rumbling into his ear. "Nooo." He said, mumbling into the pillow, knowing he's whining. It had been such a nice dream, not that he doesn't want to see Ollie, he does but he'd been so comfy and now he's awake, mouth thick and furry and erection tenting the front of his boxers. "You're such a dick..I was dreaming. " He said, knowing he sounds like a bratty little kid but he has blue balls and just woke up. "You're so mean to me, baby boy." He said tiredly blinking his eyes open, phantom smudges of eyeliner lingering in the shadows of his lash line.
