*Magical abilities.
Max is a Half-blooded Wizard.
Appearance:
Build/height- Max has started to grow lately, and is currently standing at 4'11", subject to change very soon. As much as he's grown in height, he hasn't grown in any way in width and brawn; Max's body is thin and awkward, as he isn't handling his new growth gracefully.
Eyes: Max's eyes are the Kameren's electric green. His eyes are round and wide, spaced pretty evenly on his head.
Hair: His hair is dark brownish-black, and it gets wavy if it grows past a couple inches.
Physical Attributes/Description: Max's face is still that of a child's, round and full, with a small nose and rosy cheeks. His skin tone is fair, but not the ghostly white most Kamerens are known to have. Max is Scottish, Italian, French, and Irish. The Italian and the Irish show through best, with his complexion and heavy freckles from his Mother’s Irish descent, and his patch of thick dark, curly hair from his father’s Italian descent.
Clothing: Max wears clothing from the world he came from, the Muggle world. He favors red and blue in his wardrobe, but doesn't tend to make most of his fashion decisions anyway, as he parents still buy clothes for him.
Possessions- Max lives at Hogwarts with his father, a decision he made after his mother got married to his step-father. He and his father share nearly everything in the house, but Max has laid claim to their cat, Tabby. Its just as well; Max is the only human Tabby likes anyway.
Personality:
Temperment/Mental Attributes- Max is a quiet, peaceful child who prefers to avoid a fight than to stand up in one. He knows its right to stand up, but is too timid to assert himself. He likes to joke around and is very talkative when he gets to know people. He has a habit of chattering and over-sharing, saying a lot but not really sharing much about himself. He seems to have picked up his father's abilities to read people, but he can also process body language and figure out to react to them.
For 10 years old, Max is very strong in his convictions. He tirelessly believe in what gives him faith, and will keep a promise no matter what happens. The biggest disappointment to Max is someone who doesn't stand by what they say; he sees not holding to what you say the same as lying, no matter the situation.
Intelligence is a trait Max expresses often. He is able to pick up on problem-solving and logic problems more quickly than most, and has a very mature personality for one so young. He's always eager to learn something new and isn't afraid to study something if there's no other way of learning it.
Max has an impatient and grumpy streak in him, and he often enjoys childish dark humor and can snap at people if he's agitated. Despite his generally happy demeanor, he worries a lot about his father and the rest of his family, and wants to do what he can to help. Though right now his father is taking care of him, Max understands that someday soon their roles may be reversed.
Alliance- He's too young to have any sort of alliance. He follows the path his father chooses, but doesn't know much about it.
Alignment- Chaotic Neutral
Employment&Education:
Max is neither a student, nor is he employed. He attended a boarding school when he lived with his mother, and is now homeschooled by his father. He is expecting his Hogwarts letter sometime this summer.
Other:
Magical Skills- Strange for a very young wizard, Max is already exhibiting skills at wandless magic. His father won't let him get a wand until his Hogwarts letter arrives, so he has been working out the methods and controls of controlling his powers with his mind. His control is primitive and feeble at best, but every now and then it works.
Patronus- n/a
Wand- n/a
Goals/Aspirations- Max wants to attend Hogwarts. Right now, if he could, but he's willing to wait a few more months.
Other Information- Since learning of his father's impending condition, Max has taken up studying basic healing, wanting to hone his skills and be an expert at it by the time Curse may need him.
History-
Max Kameren was born to a teenage mother one Valentine's day, with his teenage father living in a different country, completely unaware of his existence. Amelia and her family gave Max a loving home, raising him properly in a muggle household in Beziers, France for the first half of his life. He was a happy child who made friends easily, never questioning the idea of possibly missing some part of his family.
He grew up well in France, attending a boarding school during the fall and winter and spending summers with his mother and his grandparents. Max couldn't help but notice, however, the difference between his family and the others at school; though his mother had many boyfriends while he was growing up, Max had never had a father figure.
Helen, Max's grandmother, had also noticed this. She had gotten sick shortly after Max was born, and had been living with her condition for quite a few years. On her death bed, she asked her daughter to return to their home country of England and introduce Max to the family that they had left behind. Amelia obeyed Helen, and she and Max moved back shortly after Helen's funeral.
It didn't take Amelia long to track down Max's birth father's home; he hadn't changed addresses since they had moved. Max's first meeting with his tall, gaunt parent was bleak at best. Kris Kameren was a very sick man, too mentally ill to take care of himself. One thing was realized between the both of them, however: when Kris met Max, Kris knew he had to get better. For Max's sake, he entered into the psychiatric ward of the hospital. Max visited him every chance he got, to remind him what he was fighting for.
Eventually, his father fought back his inner demons and took a job teaching at a college. Amelia was getting settled back in London as well; she had taken a job managing a fashion boutique in downtown London, and had began dating another new man. Peter Beauregard was handsome, wealthy, and loved Amelia; his only problem was Max. Though he had been living happily going between both parents, Max chose to move in with his father to give Amelia a chance at the love she had lost out on when she had him at such a young age.
Living with Kris Kameren was strange at first; though Kris had introduced Max to his strange abilities early on in their relationship, Max was opened up to a whole new world. There was an entire culture, an entire heritage that he had never known he was a part of. His father was well-known in this world, mostly for his eccentricity and insanity. Max found that his father's name would often be attached to him, but at times it would help him move through this new world, and he and his father grew close.
After the law changed in the Ministry and some information about Kris was released, Max and his father moved to a small town in Scotland, where Kris had been hired as a teacher. For as wondrous as magical London had been, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was ten times that. Here there were students near his age, learning magic in a world just as new to them as it was to him! Max was eager to join in the learning, even if he wasn't old enough to be a student yet.
Suddenly, Kris started getting sick. He became frail and shaky; his skin and hair turned white as snow. Kris explained to Max that it was a condition he had fallen victim to years before, and that one day it would kill him. Max was shaken by the thought of losing his father so suddenly. He had only just met him, and now he was going to lose him again. The young wizard vowed to himself to study hard to learn potions and healing; either to save his father, or to keep him comfortable during his final years.
Now Max is even more eager to start his education, to find a cure for an incurable poison, and to grow to be an even more powerful wizard than the rest of the Kameren line.
