the personality[/color]
likes ;
TROUBLE[/u] One can take one look at Rook and realize he's trouble and he does absolutely nothing to hide it. Rook is a boy who appreciates getting up to exactly what he's least supposed to do. Whether that be getting fall down drunk right before going to class, telling his ridiclously rigid parents that he's gay, or beating the crap out of someone for no reason Rook likes trouble. It's his way of proving he's going to be his own man no matter what the consequnces. No one and he does mean no one gets to limit him.
BREAKING THINGS[/u] Rook isn't a needlessly destructive person. However he does get quite the rush from breaking things. He's careful about this particular like as one really can't go around ruining everything. But when he can get away with it or is particuarly angry he has a tendency to break things just for the fun of it. Of course he has a tendency to break rules on a regular basis, but more physical things like someone's arm or someone's favorite toy hold a special thrill.
HIMSELF[/u] Rook is careful guy who realizes no one likes a smug narcisist, but that doesn't change the fact that he is one. He just tends to keep that thought to himself. But there is no doubt in his mind that his favorite person is Rook. He loves pretty much everything about himself. His personality, his looks, and everything he owns pleases him quite a bit. He's pretty sure he's the best person he knows. Even better than his grandmother that he does admittedly love in his own unique way.
SEX[/u] Rook can be a bit promiscious. He enjoys the intimacy of sex. There's no mood lifter like a good roll in the hay. He doesn't tend to be very discerning when it comes to who he plays with, because it's all fun. Though he would never be with a mudblood as that would be sort of like sleeping with an animal. One could do it, but it would be morally wrong. But it's not in the least bit uncommon to find him wrapped up in some dark corner or closet with some pretty or another.
CLOTHES[/u] Unsurprisingly vain little Rook is quite the clothes horse. He's not a complete clothes snob like some people and he doesn't necessarily need everything to be a top of the line designed. But he does still love clothing. He enjoys putting together the outfits that make him look the best and can spend hours shopping when allowed to. He also has a habit of trying to dress his friends. There is rarely a time when Revan is as calmed and relaxed as he is when he is shopping or putting together his clothes. He also has a tendency to changes clothes at least two or three times a day. And has a wardrobe most girls could be jealous of. He also has a habit of sending home stuff he's already a few times to get stuff he's not worn as much. This habit annoys his parents, but his grandmother always indulges him.
dislikes ;
EXPECTATIONS[/u] Without a doubt Expectations of what he is or is not supposed to be is Rook's least favorite thing in the whole world. He was born into an almost aristocratic family who had very strict ideas of what their son would be. Rook has no intention of being anything, but what he wants to be. He's his own man and will fight quiet vehement when anyone tries to make him be or do something he doesn't want to do. His parents want him to be a little pureblood prince well they can kiss his bloody arse. If they want perfect he'll be a bloody mess and be happy about it.
MUGGLES[/u] This is one point Rook is a little conflicted on. The fact that his parents are muggle haters makes him feel that he shouldn't be, but he just can't quite make himself not dislike them. Muggles are filthy weak animals and as much as he wished he didn't share that belief with his parents he can't shake it. Everything about a muggle screams worthless and dirty so he can't help but hate them. This dislike is equally as strong for Muggleborns as they are little more than muggles who are getting to big for their britches and need to be put back in their place.
HIS PARENTS[/u] Rook hates his parents as much as he hates anything. They had him only because it was expected of them and they have never tried to hide that fact. They don't want him and he doesn't want them. No one in the whole wid world can upset Rook as much as his parents. Sometimes even just looking at them infuriates him. Honestly the only use he can see for his parents is the amusement he gets from doing all the things they don't want him to do.
LOSING[/u] Rook isn't a very competitive guy. He doesn't really feel a need to prove himself against anyone. However he hates to lose. This applies to pretty much everything. He has a tendency to avoid things like team sports and so such, because of this. He's especially touchy about losing an argument or fight.
EXCERCISE[/u] Unless it's sex Rook really really isn't into excercise. He does make himself work out to stay hot and all that, but he hates it. He tends to be very grumpy right before and after his work out. He's also one that tends to avoid a lot of physical labor or physical activities like running. He'll do both when he needs to, but if it can be avoided it most defintely will be. He's has a special hatred for all the stairs in Hogwarts. He doesn't get why a school full of magic can't figure out how to make a bloody lift work. If the bloody muggles can do it why the hell can't they?
strengths ;
PRACTICAL[/u] Rook can come off as a bit flamboyant and more than a bit of a slacker. He doesn't seem to be one most people can take seriously. However under all his theatrics is a very strong practical personality. He's the sort of boy who can do what he needs to do rather than what he wants to do. Hence why he excercises even though he hates it. He knows his looks are a tool and a tool is no good if not sharpened. This practice can be applied to pretty much anything. Being practical is important to Rook as one can accomplish very little if one is impeded by little squabbles like actually liking and wanting to do something before one actually does it.
AMBITIOUS[/u] Again most people can't tell Rook is an ambitious man because they are often distracted by the playboy bad boy act. But he has an almost desperate urge to be the best that he can be. Mostly he wants to prove that his parents have nothing on him. He's almost ruthless with his ambition nothing and no one will get in his way and he will do whatever necessary to get there. His ambition also causes him to be a very determined little man that will never ever give up.
GOLDEN TONGUE[/u] Rook is a smooth talker. Without even really trying he has the knack of knowing exactly what everyone wants to hear and exactly how to say it. This is probably his most important strength as it's the one thing that save his ass the most given his predilection for trouble. He can't always do it, but he's often able to talk himself out of trouble. He's also very good at talking people into doing what he wants them to do.
weaknesses ;
VAIN[/u] Rook is a vain boy. He knows that one's look are an important tool and he is known to care more about his looks than one really should. He is known to spend a little too much time taking care of his appearance. Whether it be choosing to do his excercise regiment rather than hanging out with friends or staying in the bathroom for an hour no matter how much his roommates complain it's pretty obvious that the boy cares more about his looks than he does most people.
SELFISH[/u] Rook is pretty good at hiding this fact. He's also especially good at making his selfishness look good for everyone, but at his core Rook can be a very selfish boy. He doesn't do things out of spite, but in his mind the world revolves around him and him being happy is more important than anything else. Often if he has to choose over making someone else happy or making himself happy he'll pick himself without any thought or cnsideration. This can make him a bit of a bad friend as he's not likely to be much of a help unless he sees something in it for him.
GRUDGE HOLDER[/u] Rook for the most part seems pretty harmless. He's not one to get violent or one who likes to throw his weight around, but once you get on Rook's list your on it forever. He isn't one to forgive no matter how often one apologizes. He has let little mistakes and his refusal to forgive ruin more than one friendship. This goes for his family. Especially his parents. They messed up once and while it was a royally large mistake he will never ever forgive and has gone out of his way to make them regret. He plans on making them regret it till they both rot in their lonely little graves.
