As the boy arrived at Hogwarts, it was as if he disappeared into the background until the end of his third year. The once extremely introverted Gryffindor forced himself to be social with his classmates, and after that, Cray became outgoing to the point where it was hard to get him to slow down to take a breath between sentences. Today, however, he has gained a balance between introversion and extroversion. He will be seen sitting alone, barely speaking a word to anyone, as often as he is seen laughing and partaking in long conversations. This has given time to realize who he truly is, and not what he figures everyone will like, though at times, it will occur as if a switch has been flipped, and Cray will begin to show a completely new side of himself he had never expressed before.


Standing at 6'1" (186 cm) and speaking with an North Dublin Irish accent, Cray appears to be in his higher teen years, his build lean and fit. His hair is now dyed a dark red velvet color (he alternates between red, black, and natural dark brown), yet remains the same style as it always has been: the sides short and the top medium length, gently pushed back. His rather uniquely colored eyes are hazel, yet they give a more orange shine in some lighting or even a small hint of red in others. For a few years now, Cray has been seen with a light, trimmed beard or scruff, and has always smelled of burned coal. While his scruff remains the same, he now wears a cologne that holds a bit more powerful aroma consisting of a warm, ashy cedar smell with a hint of rum and vanilla.

Cray's fashion choice goes one of two ways, depending on the day. He can be seen wearing a hooded, black military jacket very often, and either dark blue or black jeans with combat boots. On other days, he will be sporting a more steampunk style, accompanied with a intricately designed vest over a rather fancy shirt, with dark pants and knee-high steampunk combat boots. Cray is never seen without his famous red chainmail bracelet on his left wrist; his three necklaces: two silver crosses, and a dragon wrapped around a sword; and a light golden ring on his left ring finger, carved with birds and leaves, as well as the words "myn genyst." The ring gives of a constant glow of light (SO CRAY'S IG GLOW IS IC), and a black leather shoulder bag is with him at all times. (See below post for pictures)





Body:

Notable scars: a large knife scar on his chest, reaching from his sternum to the top of his belly button vertically, and across his ribs horizontally; a knife scar on his right hand from between his index finger and thumb to the left side of his palm; two burn scars, about 2 inches in length and quarter of an inch wide, on his right forearm; another burn, similar to the others, on his left bicep; several long, thin scars randomly set over his back; two tiny circles on his right ankle, one about an inch above the other; other tiny scars here and there, most of them on his arms and hands.


Piercings:
-Silver bar through his right eyebrow
-Black, or Game of Thrones 00 gauges in his ears
-Silver horseshoe, or closed black hoop, through the bottom of his nose (bullring)
-Silver tongue ring
-Two completely closed silver loops, or black horseshoes, on his lower lip (snakebites)
-Silver barbells directly under each collarbone
-Silver barbells near his hipbones
-Silver barbells in the dimples of his lower back


Tattoos:

	A "rip" in his inner left forearm; inside is a wolf walking away from a shattered moon. The moon is magically charmed to follow the phases of the real moon, sometimes being full, new, or crescent. Against the rip are the words "Cé go shiúlann mé" written in a calligraphy script.
"Tríd an ghleann ar an scáth" in the dripping roots of a silhouette of a dead tree. This tattoo is rather large and covers the left side of his torso: the drips go down to, what would be assumed, the center of his hip; the top of the branches range up his ribs to about 5 inches under his arm. Since it covers his entire side, parts of the tattoo slightly spread to his back/stomach/chest.
	A crow on his right ankle, right next to the two tiny scars there. The crow looks to have ink sliding off of it, which magically shifts around on his skin, extremely slow. The ink forms into the words, "an bháis," under the crow.

A pair of worn, tattered, and broken angel wings (resembling the picture to the left) over his shoulders, back and sides of arms, and top of his back (like the picture to the right). Under his neck, above and between the wings, are the words, "Beidh mé eagla aon olc." Otherwise, his spine is completely untouched with this tattoo, perhaps leaving room for any other one there.

Ever since Cray met Shaant, it was obvious that the two were more than just attracted to each other. From day one, the two have been inseparable and lots of changes have come from it. As Cray used to be extremely social and loud, he is now much calmer and more reclusive, though he says that was a change he desperately needed that Shaant helped get him to. With how often they are seen together and the kinds of interactions they have with each other, it is common knowledge that the two have every intention of being together for a very long time and are willing to go through thick and thin for each other, something they will both say they have already done several times. On his left ring finger, a gold ring is found that can be assumed is an engagement ring of sorts. It possesses a magical quality that allows it to glow constantly.






























His favorite classes are Ancient Runes and Charms.

He owns a Pheonix Feather Elm wood wand, 11 inches. It is hollow at the handle, the wood twisting into a point. It is unpolished and rough, somewhat giving an appearance of dull metal.

He always has his knife with him, something that he claims to have made himself from scratch. It's a dagger, made of what looks like silver. It is sharpened on one side of the blade, with the middle of said blade carved out in a celtic design. The handle of it is a dark, polished wood with another design on it in black.

Cray wants nothing more than to become a magical metalworker when he graduates. He has made dozens of other knifes, trinkets, and jewelry over the past years during school breaks to practice his skill. He has also made a few swords, both of which are back home in Ireland. He says he has just completed his first set of plate armor, and will be moving onto more magical items soon, such as cauldrons.

He grew up and still lives in Swords, Ireland. His mother passed away when he was young, and he now lives with his Aunt, Fallon Raventongue, and Uncle, Ian Raventongue, whom he adores. His cousin, Jupiter, is often a topic of conversation, and it is obvious that Cray thinks very highly of him.

He now has two adopted brothers, Xabriel and Eli Raventongue. Xabriel, a first year, goes to Hogwarts and is in Gryffindor.

He has an extreme fear of the dark.

Cray is very religious. He is very often seen reading his Bible in the Entrance Hall. His Bible looks worn, made from black leather. He uses a black cross necklace as a bookmark.

He is fluent in Irish Gaelic, which was his first language, as well as mostly fluent in French. He knows Arabic to an extent and a small amount of Hebrew. He is very slowly learning German.

He is in the process of learning piano, self teaching. He doesn't know how to read notes at all, but knows several songs from ear.

Cray owns a German Shepherd/Dalmatian puppy named Aradia, a pet raven by the name of Pumpkin, and Mr.Flops, a baby bunny. He fears for people to meet the bird, claiming that he is a bit temperamental; he seems to adore the puppy, which is something he has wanted since he was little.

Updated several things, so take a peak if you care to do so. I was lazy this time though, so I didn't photoshop any piercings or do too much to make his hair red on the pics. HE STILL HAS THEM, I PROMISE! Expecting to be changing the pics... again... when I find a permanent model for him. Til then, pics are as close to Cray as they have been yet! Yay.

Also updated the post above a little, just added two more outfits that he wears often.
