Sir Dorian Clarence
NAME: Sir Dorian James Clarence
AGE: Twenty-one
SOCIAL CLASS: Upperclass
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Aristocrat (Inherited his father's fortune and baronetcy)
PLAY-BY: Thomas McDonell
BLOOD STATUS: Muggleborn
EYES: Dark brown
HAIR: Dark brown, wavy, slightly long
SKINTONE: Fair
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'1" and 180 lbs
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A few scars on his back.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Sir Dorian is rather handsome and stylish. Coming from a family of the gentry, he has always dressed well and in the height of fashion. Dorian's almost flawless, except for scars on his back from childhood abuse. He has a winning smile, and is built lean and tall.
Dorian's eyes and hair are both a dark chocolate-brown. His eyes are a little darker than his hair, and bright, while his thick hair has a smooth texture to it, and always looks tidy and neat. His face is still full and youthful, with more effeminate features than masculine. It gives him a look of youth and innocence, which is rather alluring and helps with his charm.
He's reasonably athletic, and was on the Quidditch team as a Chaser during his school years, however he never got especially muscular and remained lean but strong.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Sir Dorian has a remarkable sense of fashion, a face that is hard to say no to, and a charming demeanor. He knows how to get what he wants. He's an accomplished pianist, and plays violin and flute as well. He is fluent in French and knows a bit of Latin as well.
MAGICAL SKILLS: Dorian has a knack for charm-work and various enchantments-- he's enchanted most of the objects in his home for one thing or another. He's terrible with potions, though, and can barely tell aconite from knotgrass.
WEAKNESSES: Dorian is far too impulsive for his own good, and cares little for consequences his actions might have. He's extraordinarily wealthy, and thus he will buy whatever he feels like at the moment he does. He also doesn't care much for anyone but himself, finding it hard to be empathetic with people.
STRENGTHS: Dorian's strengths lie in his charm. He can conduct himself extremely well, fake when necessary, and practically win anyone's heart. He's a favourite in many circles because of this, both Muggle and Wizarding.
QUIRKS & HABITS: He habitually checks over his appearance in every mirror he passes, being rather vain.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Sir Dorian Clarence is narcissistic, charming, and quite a play-boy. Dorian inherited the manor and all of his parents' fortunes when he was seventeen years old, and ever since he's indulged himself freely in anything his heart desired.
He's a fanciful sort, indulging every whim that crosses his mind without thinking of the consequences-- he has plenty of money to spend on all sorts of luxuries. He collects magical artefacts, but only ones of great beauty or value.
Dorian is a showoff, perfectly happy to show his talents and wealth to the world. He will frequently host high-society parties at Clarence Manor, and spares no expense. Usually, he plays a number on the grand piano he owns, and dances at least once with every young lady at the party.
Dorian has no desire to marry and tie himself down to one woman-- and without parents to arrange a marriage, it doesn't seem that one will happen any time soon.
However classy he may appear, Dorian is very fond of the ladies and rather lascivious, occasionally visiting brothels and bars in the rougher parts of town. He is obsessed with having fun and cares little for rules or morals if what he's doing is fun, making him somewhat irresponsible. However, despite all this, he has a genteel manner and is extremely charming and well-liked.

CHARACTER HISTORY: Dorian James Clarence was born to wealthy parents of the gentry-- his father, Sir Ernest Clarence, was a baronet. The family owned two homes-- Clarence Manor, a massive mansion in Dartmoor, and another grand house in London, which they travelled freely between.
As a young boy, Dorian was spoiled. His wealthy parents bought him anything he wanted, and he lived a life of utter luxury and abandon. He was the only child, the heir, and because of that his parents doted on him.
However, beginning at the age of five, his parents noticed odd things about him. Strange, abnormal things that had no other explanation besides being supernatural. Once, Dorian had fallen from a balcony at Clarence Manor. His parents were sure that he was to be dead, but they came running outside to find him perfectly fine-- he explained that he'd simply floated down. They grew a little skeptical after that, watching him carefully for any more signs of abnormality.
When he was eleven, he received his Hogwarts letter. His parents were horrified to learn that their son was a wizard-- they had always shunned any sort of magic, associating it with the Occult-- and they barely allowed him to go. Dorian spent weeks trying to convince them that it wasn't bad, and to let him-- he'd never been more excited in his life. Once he convinced them to let him, though, he couldn't feel much relief, as they almost disowned him and shunned him from the family.
Dorian quickly became a favourite at Hogwarts, though. He stayed holidays, liking far better to be at school than at home. While when he was young he was popular with family and friends, after his 'oddity' was discovered, he was quickly shunned-- this proved to be a defining part of his personality. At school, he tried as best as he could to get as popular as he could.
In his second year, he joined his house Quidditch team as Chaser. In his fifth, he became a prefect. Smart, athletic, handsome Dorian-- who was much better at Potions and Herbology in those days than now, though by no means good-- was one of the most popular boys at school. He longed to charm, to be looked up to, to be wildly and blindly sought after and attractive-- and he got his wish.
During his final three years at school he was the symbol of high status-- despite being Muggle-born, his charm was flawless, his abilities unmatched, his appearance beautiful-- or at least, it was in the opinion of most young ladies (and even a few young men). To be friends with Dorian Clarence was to be in high circles at Hogwarts. There were very few people-- mostly pureblood supremacists-- who were not won over by his charm, but most of them, even some of the professors, thought the boy was just about perfect. Dorian basked in this popularity, his wishes coming true.
However, outside of school his life was vastly different. While at home, Dorian was punished and beaten for the slightest offences. He grew bitter, to the point where he almost hated his parents. They despised him, put him down, called him a disgrace. He disliked this atmosphere immensely, especially when he was so well liked at school. He hated summer holidays, and would stay with friends whenever possible-- and he always had plenty of friends to stay with. While a guest in others' homes, Dorian was cordial, polite, and equally charming as he was at school. His friends' parents quickly grew to like him as well. Rarely was a word ever spoken ill of Dorian Clarence.
While he was in his final year at school, Sir Ernest and Lady Violet died when their boat sunk in the Mediterranean while they were on vacation. This was the beginning of his downfall, when he received notice that this had occured, a letter reaching him at one of his friends' homes over Easter break.
Dorian inherited his father's baronetcy and estate, and left almost immediately to claim it. He completely forgot about any sort of carreer, and since then he did not feel any need to work. He returned to school, but his dedication to his classes seemed to drop-- not significantly, but enough to indicate a change. Upon graduation, he moved in to the estate, dismissed all of the servants, and began his new, lavish lifestyle as Baronet Clarence. Dorian began regularly hosting lavish parties, inviting anyone who was anyone in the wizarding world, and occasionally even Muggles. He became very popular in both wizarding and Muggle circles.
He was only seventeen when he inherited the estate and the fortune. He kept a foot in both worlds-- keeping about half of his family's money Muggle, while converting the rest to wizard money. However, he made sure to keep the Statute of Secrecy, never revealing any sign of magic in front of Muggles and nullifying enchantments in his house when he had Muggle guests. He hired wizarding servants to replace the dismissed one, but only kept a butler, a cook, and a maid-- the rest was magically enchanted and worked on its own.
Dorian proceeded to indulge his every whim and desire. Should he want a new cloak, he would buy it, no matter the price. Should he find himself attracted to a young lady, he would spend time with her, perhaps more. Anything at all he wanted, he would get. He spent time trying new things, new sensations-- the occasional visit to a brothel here, an opium den there, and then the very next day visiting one of the classiest cafes in Britain. He travelled a little, but preferred to stay in Britain, alternating between the country estate and the London house.
He collected and participated in anything of value, anything pleasurable, and lived a selfish life, caring little at all for the feelings of others, but yet acting with such charm that it seemed like he did. He kept his more infamous habits almost a secret, and thus remained attractive and well-liked, few rumours escaping about his other side, the side that desired to push the very extreme limits of morality and society.
