Personality: Adrian loves to be alone so he can have time to think to himself as he often times has trouble finding people who can have a conversation with him on his own level of intellect. He absolutely loves learning, in which he strives everyday to learn as much as possible. This is the main reason he has come so far in such at such a young age. One of the only things that he loves more than learning is teaching, the more he learns the more he wants to teach. He believes it is his responsibility to share the wealth of knowledge. He loves dueling to the extent that it is almost something he lusts over as an infatuated obsession. Ever since he first picked up a wand, he has been honing his skills so much that at the mere age of 16 he was already widely considered an expert duelist.
He dislikes unintelligent people and easily becomes impatient with them. He despises weakness yet is drawn to it, as weak people are easy for him to control. Overall, he hates failing , he believes only in trial and success.
Adrian is an intense, profound, powerful person. Even when he appears self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under his placid exterior. He is like a volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. To those who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure. In conventional social gatherings he is pleasant to be with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; he sometimes possesses penetrating eyes which makes makes weaker-minded companions feel naked and defenseless before him.
In his everyday behavior he gives the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know him will recognize the watchfulness that is part of his character. He has great self-discipline, and is able to recognize the qualities in himself that makes him different from others, and he knows his utterly unconventional nature can be used for great good, or great evil. His tenacity and willpower is immense, his depth of character and passionate conviction is overwhelming, yet he is deeply sensitive and easily moved by emotions of others. His sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make him easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury (often when none is intended) and is easily aroused to ferocious anger.
He can harness his abundant energy constructively, tempering his self-confidence with shrewdness and his ambition with magnanimity toward others - provided he likes them. He relates to peers only as a leader and can be blunt to those he dislikes to the point of cruelty. In fact he is not above expressing vindictiveness in deliberate cruelty. He is demanding, unforgiving of faults in others, perhaps because he is unaware of his own shortcomings, and he extravagantly expresses his self-disgust in unreasonable resentment against his fellows. He discards friends once they cease to be useful to him.
Ability: His mage is the ability to throw powerful spheres of energy from his hands. This, however, is the cause of the severe burn on his right hand.
History: Adrian was born in a rural area of Ireland 23 years ago. His father, Adrian Minister Sr, owned a mansion and plenty of land. This, of course, was where he lived until the age of nine when his parents died, this we will get to in a bit. He lived with his mother, whom was a witch, and his father.
His father, however, was rarely around because he had important work in the Ministry of Magic and also was very busy writing books and novels of all sorts, which he became famous for even before Adrian was born. His father was also well known for being great auror, which served as the usual subject for most of his fictional novels.
Despite his father usually being gone, the love and affection of his mother gave him a happy childhood. Happy, that is, until one fateful day that Adrian, at the age of six, discovered what Death Eaters really were. Something he previously mistook for someone who eats so much that they die. This was also the day he found that he possessed a certain ability that most people didn’t; wizards and muggles alike.
It started as a wonderful day with Adrian playing with his mom in front of the mansion and his father working on some work of literature on the front porch. In the middle of his happiness he could feel a chill of some sort suddenly run down his spine. “Adrian!” he remembered his mom shouting. Not at him, however, but at his father right as a loud thud reached his ears. A scruffy looking man wearing all black had a wand directed at his father, whom was now unconscious on the ground.
Adrian’s mother quickly pulled out a wand of her own but was quickly countered when the stranger shouted, “expelliarmus!” The witch flew back into the ground so viciously hard that she let out a shriek. Adrian stood frozen in fear; he had never seen such violent magic before. “Run Adrian,” his mother barely forced out the words before falling unconscious. “Do you hear that little boy?” the stranger sneered, “run along little boy while I kill your parents.”
Suddenly Adrian was filled with a surge of powerful emotion. Perhaps the fear was suddenly mixed with anger, making a potent combination. For whatever reason Adrian held out his right hand towards the stranger…
Adrian awoke three days later in his bed unaware of what had transpired and no one talked of it to him since. The only clue he ever had was that his hand was severely scarred from burns; most likely the amount of energy pouring out of him was too much for his physical body to adjust to on such short notice.
3 years later his father snapped and went insane, some say because he spent too much time working, and killed his mother and then committed suicide.
After that, his uncle took him to France where he first began to learn how to harness magic. Ever since he first picked up a wand, he has been honing his skills so much that at the mere age of 16 he was already widely considered an expert duelist. Mainly because this was the age that he won the Tri-Wizard cup and also defeated a Death Eater, whom was trying to sabotage the event, with the help of a “gift from his father” that his uncle gave him when first enrolled in Hogwarts and became a Slytherin; a Larkavite shard.
After graduating from the magical school, he sought after his father’s footsteps and became an auror for the Ministry of Magic. His expertise in dueling lead him to become an even greater auror than his father before him by the age of 21.
Other: Owns shard of Larkavite, a magical stone which has a strange deep energy which extremely amplifies the possesing person's power. He's only used it once before and keeps it hidden safely only to use it when absolutely necessary.
