Likes;; Snakes, Solitude, Dark Arts, Potions, Poisons, teaching
Dislikes;; muggles, ignorant people, children (because they usually are annoying), disorder
Strengths;; Organization: Lorcan is highly organized. One would call him OCD. If one where muggle, however Lorcan is not and therefore he claims himself neatly organized.

Teaching: Lorcan is a natural at teaching. However, he doesn't like children, he's got a knack for getting people's attention and a way of showing things that really just makes sense.

Patience: One wouldn't think it from the way Lorcan is so often found alone and rarely interacts with others that he'd be the patient one. However Lorcan is extremely patient. Able to listen for hours and calmly re-explain something from a dozen different angles.

Cunning: Lorcan is cunning. He's got a devious mind. He is after all an inventor. He likes to meddle in potions, especially poisons.
Weaknesses;; Socializing: Lorcan is socially awkward. He doesn't know, or care, about the social conventions. He says things just as they are.

Honesty: most people think this would be a bonus, think again. Lorcan is so brutally honest that it's more often a flaw then a strength. He always says the truth no matter what. Which is what makes people often wonder if he is intentionally trying to be cruel.

Self-centered: Lorcan is very self absorbed with a firm believe that he is the best at what he does. he's proud of his father's heritage and the line of pureness that his father comes from. However he dislikes his father for the weakness that is his mother.

Claustrophobic: Ohhh yah, almost forgot. The greatest of his weaknesses. Lorcan is excruciatingly Claustrophobic. He cannot stand to be enclosed in a small space. Elevators, small rooms. His office with the door closed.... They all make him uncomfortable and if blocked from an exit he freaks right out and is prone to attacking.
Erised;; to create the most powerful poisons known to wizarding kind. Ones that cannot be countered by antidotes.
Patronus;; The day he was given the task to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and mere moments latter appointed as head of Slytherin house. It was a day he would never forget and one he felt was highly deserved.
Boggart;; Enclosed spaces...
Dementor;; The door to his cell closed and he found himself locked in a room with four close walls with no escape. Constantly living in the presence of his worst memories.
Amortentia;; the fumes of potions as they brew, firewhisky, wood smoke and the smell of spring in the air.
Overall Personality;; He is the proud bearer of the Dark Mark. He wears short sleeve shirts or rolls up his sleeve to display the mark. Always wanting to show that he stands for the Dark Lord.

There is also a scar that runs down his right arm, it looks like something caught around his lower arm and wrist and dug in very deeply. There are scars that cover his back and a few on his stomach, they look like whip lashes. Though no scars show on his neck of face. So no one would suspect the beatings he received.

Lorcan has an extremely organized mind that leans towards the dark side of things. He was raised under the domineering fist of his mother and the watchful gaze of his father. His mother being a muggle born witch who would rather believe she is pure-blood would beat her son any chance she got 'to get rid of his weaknesses' thus Lorcan learned from a tender age that being emotionless and cold where the way to go.

Lorcan was always honest and quiet, mostly at first due to fear of his mother and the constant physical abuse, but latter because he didn't care for people's lies and deceptive ways. He has a self-centered confidence that only came when he was at school and realized that he was good and intelligent when it came to school work.

Lorcan inherited some of his mother's interest in the torturing of people. He enjoys watching them suffer, but unlike his mother Lorcan doesn't like blood. He rather enjoys the slow painful affects of poisons. As he grew older he began to make them to sedate his mother, at first. Until one day he overdosed her and killed her. It was his first kill and at eighteen he became deeply proud of this fact.

It is what led him to the Dark Arts and to seeking power. He wanted to become as powerful as he could to fend off further abuse from his parents. And the more he became obsessed with the dark arts. The darker his personality became.

Cold and often dispassionate Lorcan can also be the heart of the party when he drinks. An irish man, he loves his liquor and when intoxicated the barriers recede and he becomes a free spirit.

Though a man of few words Lorcan is a powerful force to recon with. Lorcan conveys attention when he speaks. Simply because it is such a rare thing in a conversation for him to do. He does speak a lot in class, but that is cause he is teaching.

History;; Lorcan was born on a cold winters night in the family estate. Sibeal was the midwife of course, she had after all had a child herself. Her son Seaghdha stood by and watched as Éabha, who was only 18 at the time, gave birth to her first child. Lorcan was born without complications. He cried loudly and shrilly as he came into this world cold and wet.

His childhood was straightforward and wrought with pain and suffering. He was an only child for many years before the birth of his sister. Who was named after their grandmother. Lorcan was beaten on an almost daily basis by Éabha in order to remove all the weakness the boy had. He was as a child caring and showed compassion to others that he met while out. Soon however he learned that this was a grave mistake and began to slowly shut down his emotions to the point where crying was no longer an option for him. Tears simply do not come. He became cold and distant from his feelings. They are like a dark shadow he barely recognizes.

Lorcan was born a Metamorphamagi. This was first discovered when he was three days old and as the custom would have it he was to be named. Since it was his great-grandfather who had been the last Metamorphamagi Lorcan was named after him. Lorcan used to change his eyes with his emotions, from amber to red to black. It was a sure way to tell how he felt. The more he distanced himself from his emotions the more that this became the only way to tell that Lorcan felt something at all.

Lorcan was homeschooled and showed his first sign of magic at six years old when he made his mother's soup explode in a fight of rage. He was so angry that he would not be able to have a birthday party with his friends that year that he just yelled and the soup exploded. He paid for that one with a beating, but his magical education began after that.

Lorcan received his letter at age ten since he would not be turning eleven until the break he was admitted anyways. His mother considered keeping him home for another year, but in the end his father insisted. Lorcan went to school and there found the one thing he could never find at home. Acceptance. Lorcan felt that here he could finally be who he was. He also became aware that the muggles, though he already hated them, spawned witches and wizards, which he soon learned his mother was. He began to hate her even more for being a muggle born witch. A fact he secretly keeps to himself.

Lorcan was sorted into Slytherin and he began his training as a wizard. There were few incidences in his school years. He was a typical Slytherin, up to some mischief and self-centered. Usually picking on the muggle borns and along with his closest of friends making plans for the day they graduated and became Death Eaters. As they all knew they would. The Dark Arts appealed to Lorcan even at the age of twelve. When he really began to learn about it. However, his true brightness was in potions, which he excelled at.

When his sister was born Lorcan noticed a change in family dynamics. His mother dotted on the girl child and Lorcan resented that she was never beaten, but if she acted out, he was beaten. Which means that Lorcan has very little tolerance for the child.

When Lorcan turned 14 he began to learn that if he could sedate his mother with potions she wouldn't be able to hurt him as much. As the years began to lengthen for Lorcan the slight doses of the poison wasn't cutting it anymore. One night when he was 18 years old at the christmas holidays his mother attempted to whip him after catching him making the potion Lorcan caught the whip with his right arm and it dug around into his flesh, leaving the marks that now scar his arm. The pain was blinding and caused him to pass out. When he woke up he dossed her tea with far more then he was originally intending to. Very angry at the pain and at himself for allowing her to get the upper hand again.

The next morning Éabha died of an overdose. Lorcan had gone too far. However, it could never conclusively be proven that he had poisoned her and refusing to let his son take the blame for it as in his own way Seaghdha loved his son. He took the blame for Lorcan's poison. It also became evident a few months after that Seaghdha had been subjected to a love potion every day, thus the infatuation and love he felt for Eabha died with her. Seaghdha died in Azkaban two years latter.

Lorcan graduated and became a potions master the Hospital in London where he learned more about antidotes and potions. However, he also became a Death Eater at this time.

Lorcan was 20 years old when his master died and he found himself still rooted in his believes willing to do to Azkaban rather than admit a lie. He was proud to be a death eater and proud of the muggle tortures and kills he had done. he didn't stop. When the ministry finally caught him he confessed willing to having been and still being a Death Eater.

Lorcan was sent to Azkaban prison where he was forced to stay for 14 long and arduous years of his life. The prison played on his darkest fear and made that fear grow each and every day. Causing the man to become a mere remnant of who he had been. Trapped beyond the wall of his memory and in the four walls that surrounded him he still to this day cannot stand to look at a small room. His fear of tight spaces grew until he became completely Claustrophobic. The only hope he dared to cling to was that the Dark Lord would return and he would be freed highly honoured for having been so loyal.

His loyalty paid off. As he was released and recognized as a Death Eater again. Though he had never been in the inner circles. He had always been loyal and one day he would become a member of the inner circle. One day he would be so very close to Voldemort.

Lorcan fought alongside his Lord in the battle at Hogwarts and once it came to an end he was glad that the dark lord won, but he was disappointed that the Potter boy got away.

When the school was purged of non death eaters Lorcan got his dream fulfilled he was offered the position of potions master at the school and readily took it. It has been his ambition for a long time to become potions master and eventually head of Slytherin house. A few days after he took the position Lorcan was asked to become Head of Slytherin house by the Headmistress of the school and with delight he accepted the position.

Currently Lorcan is working on the course material for the school year, readying himself to teach the children all about the patient art of potion making.
