SEXUAL ORIENTATION Straight

WAND Pliable 9¼ inch Hornbeam Dragon Heartstring with a Knobby Shaft
Hornbeam wood: Hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession (though I prefer the term ‘vision’), which will almost always be realised. Hornbeam wands adapt more quickly than almost any other to their owner’s style of magic, and will become so personalised, so quickly, that other people will find them extremely difficult to use even for the most simple of spells. Hornbeam wands likewise absorb their owner’s code of honour, whatever that might be, and will refuse to perform acts – whether for good or ill – that do not tally with their master’s principles. A particularly fine-tuned and sentient wand.
Dragon Heartstring core: A common wand core. This is used by wizards who want power for their spells. This core is useful for almost any type of magic.
Pliable: Transfiguration. Easy-going but strong willed.
Knobby Shaft: Earthy and Strong.

TATTOOS
■ Skate or Die (medium, left forearm)

xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

FOCUSED Syd tends to give all of his attention to one thing, whether it is something he is working on or listening to someone talk. Being focused on one thing at a time not only helps his productivity, but it allows him to think things through better. On the flip side, he does tend to obsess over his projects and cannot multi-task effectively.
COMPASSIONATE Syd feels deeply for others when they are going through hardship. He tends to feel their pain and does his best to show that he cares about what they are going through.
BRILLIANT Syd's mind travels at quick speeds and he has an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. His curiosity allows for him to think outside of the box to figure out creative solutions to problems. Although he is smart, he does need to apply himself in order to succeed, which is why he may also come off as ignorant or as if he doesn't care about things if he isn't putting his all into it.
DREAMY Syd tends to live in his head, thinking or daydreaming. His brain never shuts off, but he may appear absent minded if he has something major or something that he is obsessing over on his mind. However, when he lives in the moment, he tends to talk to anyone and everyone and finds holding conversations pretty easy.
NONCOMMITTAL Syd is not one that typically commits to plans as something else typically comes along before the date he made plans for that may capture his interest and attention, and he decides he'd rather pursue that instead. Some find this off-putting and disrespectful. On the other hand, Syd is very adventurous and enjoys making spontaneous plans on the spot. Syd is also noncommittal with people. He makes friends well, but he finds that he may be interested in a person one day, and more interested in someone else the next. However, if he is not busy, he'd enjoy hanging out with just about anyone that would ask him to.
POMPOUS When Syd successfully accomplishes a project that he's proud of, does well in school, or even gets lucky and has something awesome happen in his life, he tends to brag and his arrogance shines through.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EARLY CHILDHOOD Syd was born to Christian and Alexandria Barrett, a halfblood and pureblood respectively, during the late summer of 2043. He is their second born, and the baby brother to Penelope Barrett. He has a big family on his mother's side that he sees quite often. Grandma and Grandpa babysit him and his sister whenever his parents need a night to themselves. Syd missed Penelope when she started attending Hogwarts, but he was excited that her final year and his first year would intertwine.

SCHOOL YEARS (2054 - 2055) Syd had attended his first year at Hogwarts while Penelope attended her last. He had been sorted into Ravenclaw and had made the Reserve Keeper position. He had also joined the Art Club, where he and his dorm-mate Kai had become better friends, as well as the Daily Dragon as the comic section's artist. For Halloween, Hogwarts had hosted the Deep Sea Horrors Masquerade, which he decided to skip. Instead, he took advantage of the lack of Prefects and Professors in the halls and skateboarded through them. On New Year's Day, he had attended Zoe and Kylian's wedding and had almost crashed into his aunt Rosabella and Andrea on the ice rink. Penelope had graduated in the spring.

(2055 - 2056) Zoe and Kylian had welcomed their daughter Melodie into the world. For his great grandmother Paula's 100th birthday, Syd, Penelope, Alex and Harvey had spent part of the day with her.

(2056 - 2057) Penelope had gotten a boyfriend, which Syd was shocked about but also proud considering he knew how unlucky she had been in the boyfriend department.

(2057 - 2058 ) Zoe and Kylian welcomed their son Tallis into the world in June. In October, Syd had attended Philip and Chelsea's wedding with Kai.

(2058 - 2059) Syd made the starting string as Seeker although that didn't stop him from getting voluntold to play Keeper in a Quidditch scrimmage, which, as the leader, he tried to get his team to throw because Echo had promised sexual favours if he did. To his surprise, he had played well, so she rewarded him with sexual favours. Ever since he had followed her in the fall when she had skipped out on the Art club, the two had been unofficially dating, experimenting with drugs and occasionally, studying. Taylor had also joined them to experiment with drugs on occasion. On another note, Philip and Chelsea had welcomed their son Tristan into the world.

(2059 - 2060) Taylor had stopped joining Syd and Echo in experimenting with drugs, and seemed to have started hating him along with Milan, who had also given a pep talk to kick off the Quidditch season by promising the team that they could choose what he got tattooed on himself (within reason) if they had won the Quidditch Cup. As the seeker, Syd was determined to win. At the first Daily Dragon club meeting after winter holidays, Milan had had a peanut allergy attack. Taylor had immediately blamed Syd for it and claimed that he had done it on purpose although he did not set it off as far as he knew. Rumours spread quicker than wildfire and had gotten back to Milan, who had confronted Syd about it in the hall three days later. Tired of all the s**t he had faced with Milan, he shoved him just as Echo intervened to try and stop them from fighting before claiming that they had to get along as she was pregnant with Syd's child. As time went on, Syd stressed more and more about what he was going to do, even contemplating leaving her. During the final Quidditch game, the seeker couldn't focus, losing not only the game but also the Quidditchc Cup. Later, Echo revealed to him that she wasn't, in fact, pregnant and that she had made the whole thing up. Syd then broke things off with her.

(2060 - 2061) For Syd's 18th birthday, he got his very first tattoo on his left forearm of the words "SKATE OR DIE" in between a skull and a skateboard. Once back at school, he had ran into a hot gothic girl named Cassiopeia Whitethorne, or Cass as she prefers, in the prefect bathroom. Later that week, a note was slipped to him that she wanted him to meet her there, so he did and the two ended up having sex. They actually did that a lot throughout the year, but he was upfront with her and told her he wasn't looking for a serious relationship. After all, Syd didn't want to hurt her as Echo did him. Syd had met a blue haired first year in Art Club named Sebastian Moon, who had complimented his hoodie and carried his three-legged cat in the pocket of his own. Over the winter holidays, Syd got a new skateboard so he gifted his old one to his new friend. Later in the year, Syd's great-grandfather Gabriel had passed away. Towards the end of the year, Syd started thinking about life after Hogwarts and he didn't really want to let Cass go, but he wasn't sure if she liked him until he found out that she had stolen his Ravenclaw Seeker Quidditch hoodie and worn it publicly around the school. Considering he had lost every Quidditch game (except for the only game against a much younger Seeker), he figured she must have really liked him for her to show off that they had been seeing each other. From there, they had started officially dating.
