The Basics

Character Name: Kirley McCormack Duke
Age: 27
Birthday: July 1st, 1973
Wand: Rowan, 10 inches, dragon claw
House in School: Ravenclaw
Bloodline: Muggle-born
Political View: If asked to choose a side, Kirley would side with the Order of the Phoenix. But honestly he just thinks it’s stupid - the matter that actually has to be fought over. Muggles versus Wizards… who cares, honestly? They’re all people, and people shouldn’t be killing people (except maybe all the stupid people in the world, but that’s just his opinion).

Appearance

Height: 5’11
Weight: 140
Build: Thin, but not overly so. Nothing to make you think he’s underfed. And occasionally he does work out, but usually it’s just too much effort.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Long, slightly wavy and brown
Dress style: He tends to dress the same no matter if he’s alone or in the public eye. Muggle clothing nearly all the time, having grown accustomed to them as a child. T-shirts with obscure band names blazoned across the front and well-fitting jeans, hoodies when it’s cool out. If he absolutely must dress up he’ll wear a suit, whose jacket is casually unbuttoned.
Discerning Marks: Most of the time Kir prides himself on blending in with the crowd, but in the Wizarding world of robes and wands his muggle clothing gets him pointed out as different more often than not. And then no matter how much he hates it, his pretty boy looks and just the way he carries himself (something to do with being in a famous band, more likely than not) get him immediately identified as a Weird Sisters member among fans. He has a tattoo along his lower belly with the name of the band and both of his ears are pierced with silver studs. His nearly constant state of drunkenness, even if it is just a buzz, is also something that gets him noticed.

Personality

Include strengths, weaknesses, quirks, general outlook on life.
As most people could tell if they spent more than five minutes in his company, Kirley is a pessimist and an alcoholic. He tends to see only the worst of any situation, but luckily has a sense of humour that allows himself to joke about his pessimistic tendencies. His one real weakness is alcohol. He would quit drinking if he thought any good would come of it - but as it is he’s going to grow old and die anyway? Generally an introvert, he does enjoy visiting people but only for short periods of time. Dinner out on the town is nice, but talking for hours afterwards is not. He gets bored or anxious during such occasions and must either leave for his sanity or heavily imbibe.
He’s a non-violent person unless it comes to Myron and then he limits himself to throwing whatever is at hand at the man. Otherwise, he doesn’t understand why people think fighting is necessary. If a fight is brought to him he’d rather just walk out on it than fight it out, or even talk about it.

When talking to people who are new to him he is usually abrupt and to the point. He only really talks when he knows who the other person is, and then he tends to be sarcastic and generally an ass.

He loves books and learning, but really sees no reason for tests or other forms of organized education. In school he never studied. He got good grades purely from what he learned in class. The rest of his free time was spent playing the guitar he got for his thirteenth birthday, and later practicing with his band, the Weird Sisters.

He makes use of muggle terminology and items on a regular basis, and never felt the urge to integrate himself completely in the Wizarding world.

Psychology

Introvert/Extrovert An introverted extrovert. Most of the time he can be found alone and enjoying it for months at a time, and then suddenly like a cannon going off he’ll want to party and have friends over. And as soon as that is done he is back to being alone with his guitar.
Boggart is? Old age. Himself - old and decrepit. Nothing is worse to him than the thought of getting old and nearly on deaths doorstep. The very thought sends shudders down his spine. He wants to be young forever, and has even considered making a deal with a vampire before… but then realized exactly how foolish the thought was.
Patronus--can they produce one? What is it and why does it have that form? Indeed he can! Not that there’s been much call for it. His patronus is in the form of a puppy he once had as a child. Nicest little thing. He’d loved it dearly until one day the puppy (dog by that time) had been diagnosed with leukaemia and died a few weeks later. But even to this day his love for the dog can be seen in the form of his patronus.

Sexuality

Bisexual, or if you asked him he would just answer "sexual". He likes sex, and if you are pretty enough and give him "the look", he’ll be more than happy to oblige. He’s never really fallen for anyone, and isn’t looking forward to it, because he knows deep down that he’ll fall hard – which would mean monogamy and boredom for the rest of this life. And that certainly wouldn’t be fun, would it?

Lifestyle

Occupation: Weird Sisters lead guitarist until Heathcote died and Myron left the band, leaving the group defunct.
Residence: Currently in a small flat in London, looking for a new place to live ASAP, as the landlord leaves a bit to be desired.
Financial Status: Well off due to music sales

Family

Parents? Molly McCormack and Duke Duke (He hated his parents for that)
Siblings? None
Family dynamics--do they get along? Opposite sides of the war? Accept their child's magical talent? Pressure for 'pure blood' marriage?
Kirley and his family get along fabulously, except for a few tiffs here and there. But what family doesn’t fight? From the age of nine when he first showed musical talent on his father’s guitar and drum kit, they supported him even to the point of arranging music and singing classes. The only disappointment was that he couldn’t carry a tune if his life depended on it. It was an even greater surprise when he received his Hogwarts letter at the age of eleven. But after meeting with the staff and realizing that indeed there was such a thing as magic (and what a relief to find out that the breaking dishes had an explanation), they were more than happy to allow their son to go to Hogwarts.

History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time

In school Kir was known as "The Lazy Ravenclaw" - he never went out of his way to excel on work assigned to him. His grades, although above average, weren’t extraordinary. But what did surprise fellow students that might have accidentally stumbled across him in some dark hole was the speed at which he devoured books. Anything he was interested in would find its way into his hands even if it was the Dark Arts (not that he wanted to practice them; he just wanted to know about them). He graduated with flying colours, as would be expected of a Ravenclaw, but rather than get a job with the Ministry or something as equally mundane he continued in his path with the Weird Sisters. They quickly got famous and at that point there was no need to do anything but play guitar and party when he felt like it.

This came to an abrupt halt when Heathcote was murdered, leaving the entire band at a loss at what to do next. And then when Myron left Kirley finally gave into his pessimism and told his remaining band mates: "It's not worth it, we ought to just give up." And he did just that. With stories of war on the horizon he packed up and moved to his parent’s house where he spent the next few years moping about, living off of music sales and generally doing nothing and just hoping the war wouldn’t come to them.

After the news of Harry defeating Voldemort he decided it was finally time to move out of his parents and so he got a small flat in muggle London where no one would recognize him.
