Name: Regulus Adorian Black
Regulus= The little king, a star in Leo. Also known as the family name of Marcus Atilius Regulus, a famous Roman patriot/martyr who was tortured to death.
Adorian= The name was first used by Oscar Wilde in his novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. He may have taken it from the Late Latin name Dorianus, which was derived from the name of ancient Greek tribe the Dorians. As a bit of an extra bit of fun, the Blacks shoved an 'A' on the front of it.
Black= The name Black in Ireland is mostly found in Ulster where it is of Scottish origin and connected to the Lamont, MacGregor and Duart clans. It was also brought to the country by Anglo settlers. The Gaelic Mac Giolla Dhuibh Sept of Galway who usually anglicized their name as Kilduff, occasionally used Black instead. From the word 'dubh' meaning 'black'.

Nicknames: Reg, mostly and Black the younger.
Birthday: Feb 4th 1961
Slytherin Aquarians are lucky. They have inner drive, determination, and great ambition; they also have brilliance, cleverness, and an almost total disregard for "what everybody thinks," which means they can go for their dreams without caring if other people mock them or consider them strange. More introverted and full of social conscience than the average Slytherin, these wizards are easily overlooked socially (by fools), although they excel in the classroom and eventually become great wizards indeed. They are stubborn and will not back down without a fight if challenged.
Age: 21
Bloodline: Pureblood. Though Regulus has been for the most part disowned by his mother, but not officially.
Affiliation: Regulus still has the Mark burned into his arm but he no longer is affiliated with the Dark Lord. He has taken up his wand in defense of what is right and good and is fighting for the Order. He says it is to keep others from suffering the fate of his wife.
Alumni: Slytherin, but dropped out before the start of his 7th year.
Wand: 12 inches, Poplar with dragon blood core and is held in his right hand.
Those born between these two dates also fall under the lesser influence of a secondary tree...the Poplar, whose motto is "Overcome Doubt" or "The Uncertainty." Poplar individuals have a decorative appearance but tend lack self-confidence. They are prone to mature very quickly and assimilate things equally as quickly. Displaying courage only when absolutely necessary and hostile only toward extremists, the narrow-minded or hotheads, Poplar people prefer the goodwill of others and pleasant surroundings. This individual can be somewhat choosy, is often lonely and may harbor great animosity toward others. Artistic by nature, they are good organizers who lean toward philosophy. Reliable in almost any given situation, Poplar people cherish their friends and surround them with love. They take partnerships very seriously but are inclined to be generous only toward those who are generous in return. The life of a Poplar individual is made of judicious transactions and all manner of exchanges. If the Poplar perceives a warm and friendly atmosphere, then the heart and spirit opens...if not, then he or she will withdraw.


Home: Lived until the age of 17 at Grimmauld Place. He also has a run down single bedroom apartment in East London from when he made his living working as a bartender at JD's, a muggle pub a few blocks away from his flat. Regulus also now own a small three bedroom flat next door to Fry's in Helsinki.
Mother: Selene Black, nee Meneveaux.
His mother was always the source of madness in his life. Her constant screeching and proclaiming that he had to follow her words or he would go by way of his fallen brother stuck in his mind most of his time in school. She kept a very close eye on him and Regulus hated that. Before school though, Regulus found himself closer to her. He was the one to tell on Sirius, the one that went running to her room to say that he had taken the guitar again, or stepped on his toes during dance class. Which, while creating a bit of anger toward him by Sirius caused his mother to put a little more faith in him than Sirius.
Father: Corbett Black.
Regulus remembers little of his father. A blur of memories that are fading daily. He remembers a few times of them playing in the yard, something about some holidays but other than that, Corbett took little notice of his younger son.
Siblings: Sirius Black.
Oh good old Siri. Reg growing up wanted nothing more than to be exactly like his brother. He followed him around, sneaking when he had to and wondering why he always had to be the girl in dance class. He tried to stay close to him when he went off to Hogwarts for his first year, but Regulus felt like he lost his brother. Once in school, the two had even more distance between them but Regulus still admired him to an extent. Regulus continued to talk to Sirius even after his disowning but when they each went their ways in the war, Regulus knew Sirius wouldn't approve. After the death of Elle, Regulus cut everyone out of his life but came with with a vengance once he returned to London and is now once again following his brother as closely as he can.
Wife: Elle Alexandra Cohen Deceased. She was killed by Death Eaters a year into their marriage. Regulus fled after her death and tried to forget what had happened. Hestia Jones. (divorced)
Heritage: French on his mother's side; Irish, English, and Greek on his father's side.
Other family: Jocasta and Ophiuchus Black and their three daughters, Narcissa, Bellatrix, and Andromeda.

Financial Status: Reg actually makes a good amount of money now thanks to Parasiiti and the constant touring and performing that they do. He isn't quite as well off as he was when younger, but he isn't living paycheck to paycheck either.
Background: Regulus Adorian Black started life for all intents and purposes just like any other Pureblood child. He spent his days in comfort and leisure hardly having to lift a finger to make anything happen. He expected his life to be like that forever, though he was wrong. Regulus grew up as the second child, the extra. Out of the one and a spare, he was the spare. His family wished great things for him but knew that he was not as important as their first born Sirius. So, Regulus was content to live that life. His family pushed him to believe in the whole idea of Pureblood mania and as much as he thought it to be wrong, Regulus wanted to please his family.

Regulus was rather upset when Sirius left for school and he was subjected to his family alone for the first time. The pressure for Regulus to join his family in the idea that muggles should be despised became too much, and he went off to Hogwarts believing that his family was correct and was sorted into Slytherin which did nothing to help change him for the better. Regulus spent his schooling looking down on those he thought of as inferior and studying. He wanted to prove that he was just as good as his brother who seemed to always get more attention. He had a small group of friends within his house, and tried out for the Quidditch team his second year getting on the team as a Chaser.

Finishing his fifth year, Regulus felt it unnecessary to really return to school but his mum wished him to return and finish so out of the fear of upsetting her, he went back for his sixth year but did rather terribly as he no longer cared for anything. He had plans on joining the Death Eaters and taking the mark during the summer before his 7th year and so school was not necessary. His mother also thought it was about time for him to be married off, or with in the next year. Though, the whole idea never worked out as his soon to be wife ended up pregnant and by the end of the summer, she was dead. Regulus took this to heart feeling that it was his fault. He felt that he could have stopped her if he had only been there, but his family had called him back to London. That was the first step in distancing himself from the Black family.

Refusing to return to Hogwarts, even as his mum demanded it, Regulus sulked around London until he ran into a small brown haired witch that took his heart away. She was a Halfblood and thus, according to his family, worthless as a wife. Though, as he spent time with her, Regulus discovered that perhaps his family was not as smart as they thought they were. Soon, he was in love and even though he had the Dark Mark burned into his forearm, he married a Halfblood.

She was the love of his life and for a year they were just another happy family. Soon, Regulus discovered he was going to be a father and was over joyed. But it did not last, nothing good ever lasts. Coming home from the market one day, he froze out front of his home and looked up to the sky. Hanging over his home was the Dark Mark. Entering his home, Regulus found his wife murdered along with his unborn child. That was the final straw for Regulus and he picked up what few things he felt necessary and ran away from his home. He never attended the funeral.

Taking time away from London, Regulus found himself broke and in Finland after a mix up in his paperwork while he was being deported from Germany. He felt it necessary to come back to England and try and find what was left of his family. He knew that he was not the most popular man in society and there were many that thought he had died that day with his wife, but Regulus lives on. He hides in muggle London, keeping a flat in East London and working full time as a bartender at a muggle pub called JD's. He didn't have much in life, just a dog named Frodo, and lives almost pay check to pay check. Regulus fears attack thanks to the Mark on his arm and turning his back on the Dark Lord, he fights for what is good and right in the world and wishes to carry on the memory of his wife by doing so.

Regulus has for the most part finally found himself a spot in the world in the one place that no one would think to look for the heir to the Black line. Oh, and he still has the dog.


Personality: Regulus has had a hard few years but doesn't really let it get to him. True he has small times of depression and sadness over the loss of his wife Elle, but over all he considers himself a survivor. He has built up a wall around his heart and tries hard to not love anyone. He fears that if he lets himself love again, it will end up like every other time and he will end up alone. He is also firmly against shagging anyone as of now, and will occasionally snog a girl but that is only when he is drunk. He keeps the memory of his wife close to his heart and just wants to keep others from feeling the pain of loss. Since his time out of wizarding society, Regulus has gained a sence of humor and a bit of seriousness at the same time. He no longer is snobbish to everyone and now laughs at his former self. Thinking that the whole idea of blood purity is a joke and hanging out with halfbloods and less makes him happy. He keeps to himself for the most part but if you become a friend of his, he will be loyal to the end. He smokes way too much and drinks way too much as well and will never be seen with out one or the other and most times both. He will flirt to an extent but is rather oblivious to anyone flirting back. Regulus also has a few moments of becoming rather girly as he will squeel over a new pair of shoes or a jacket that he just has to have. So, he has a thing about clothing. He says it costs a lot to look this bad. Regulus usually is scraping together funds to pay rent by the end of the month but loves his life as it is. It isn't that he now hates what his future with Elle could have been, it is just that he accepts the fact that he can not change the past and knows that the only way to go is up. There is something in him that keeps him where he is in life, something almost like a form of punishment for his crimes. He refuses any offer for help other than a few pounds here and there as he doesn't want to be a burden and will always return to his flat as he pays for it. Something he never thought he would have to worry about.
Fears: Regulus fears the Dark Lord above all else.
Habits: Picked up smoking, tends to smoke a lot when he is nervous. He also has a hard time sitting completely still and his fingers are almost always in motion.
Mental Health: He isn't perfect but is sane enough. A recovering cutter with the problem of letting things get to him too much. He went through therapy a few years back and for the most part can get over things with out the help of a blade.
Boggart Form: Voldemort
Patronus: An owl

Height: Six foot 4 inches. He still is slightly shorter than his brother, but has gotten his growth spurt finally reaching what he assumes to be as tall as he will get.
Weight: Approximately 140 pounds. Regulus has always been small, most of his family has. He carries very little fat on his body even though he never attempts to work out at all. Now that he is eating more than a meal a week, he is putting on a bit more weight but the excessive touring and performing he puts himself through does help keep off the weight from eating junk food.
Eyes: A very bright green. They almost verge on blue at times they are so light. He wasn't born with green eyes though, they were blue at birth. No one is really sure how they ended up green and his family doesn't seem to carry it in their genes. Regulus doesn't care though, he likes his eyes.
Hair: Dark brown almost black with a little bit of a wave to it just past his ears. He does cut it from time to time, but he will never again cut it short like he had it in school. He likes the length he has now, letting it fall almost to his shoulders and he knows if his mother and him spoke she would force him to cut it to a respectable length, but he honestly doesn't care anymore.
Face & Complexion: Regulus has a perfect face but is still quite pale do the the fact that he does not like being outside.
Distinguishing Features: Regulus now sports a rather eleborate sleeve tattoo on his arm to cover, or try to cover, his Dark Mark. He also has a small black heart on his right wrist on the inside. He refuses to say why he got the tattoo, but it appeared after his 6th year. He also has an Egyptian Flame on his left calf which matches Hestia's and a design on his lower stomach.
Dress Style: Regulus wears black at nearly every occasion. He also has a prized possession of a knee length black coat.
Possessions Always On His Person: Cigarettes, he must have them at every moment and his black coat. He also wears his wedding ring, a simple silver band, though he has moved it to his right ring finger. He now also has another wedding ring that occupies his left hand, yet again a simple band but with a small insignia of he and Hesita's intials on it. It is his wedding band from their wedding.
Manner of Speech: Has a rather deep voice that sounds a bit of an odd mix of accents. Usually it's closest to a Southern English accent but at times he will slip into a bit of a French accent.
Matter of Movement: Has a bit of a quick strut but has a little bit of a waltz to his movements.
Favorite Color: Black...a bit ironic and silver and green. He can't forget the Slytherin part of him.
Favorite Book: Dante's Inferno and the Lord of the Rings
Favorite Music: Hanoi Rocks, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Agents, Ayla, The Weird Sisters as well as The Buzz Killingtons. He also likes a few random other bands he runs into, but eh, I'm getting lazy.
Favorite Subject: Potions and Transfiguration
Favorite Scent: Freshly cut grass and Earl Grey tea
Pets: A small light brown and white Jack Russell Terrier, half crup named Frodo, thanks to one of Regulus's favourite books.

Romantic Status: He's kinda sorta doing something with his ex-wife!
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Partner: No one and damn proud of it.
Turn Ons: Independence and a brain. Regulus likes the smart girls but will turn to pretty ones when lonely though he does not enjoy them as much. He also has little care for blood purity when it comes to his females. He believes much more in relationships than his brother being a bit of a romantic at heart. It isn't uncommon for him to fall deeply in love with someone in a short period of time, though he really doesn't know how to flirt. He appears to be awkward around females at times but that goes away with time.
Turn Offs: Regulus does not really have any turn offs but he does not like girls that are clingy. He likes his freedom and will leave a girl if she does not allow that. He also can not stand girls that will not listen and can not carry a conversation. He also despises those that can not read or think. He has to be able to talk and not have to explain everything to the girl. He hates girls that are only looking to him for sex, as he feels deeply in the idea of love behind the whole act. He doesn't do 'one night stands' and if he finds himself sleeping with a girl, he knows he loves her.
Crushes On: You know, he doest have a slight crush on a few females.
