Physical Description: Strike is an athletic child of medium stature, though perhaps a bit more on the short side at 4'6". He has bronze blonde wavy to curly hair of medium length and amber eyes so vivid they almost look orange. His complexion is a sun-kissed tan because he spends a lot of time outdoors.

Mental Description: This child is a mostly shy people-pleaser who was raised by his parents to believe that he needed to earn their love through his actions. On the positive side, he's generally cheerful, adaptable, determined, and lively once he gets over his shyness. On the negative side, he tends to be subservient, self-conscious, and restless, and scatter-brained. He has trouble sitting still, can be a bit scatter-brained sometimes, and is happiest when he's doing something for someone else.

Biography: Strike's parents are both very ambitious and successful pureblood hit-wizard assassins who practice the dark arts. Strike's mother, Lindsay Allen, specializes in physical combat and spell-casting while his father, Douglas Allen, is a master manipulator. In their attempts to shape and mold Strike to become a hit-wizard assassin like themselves, they trained him to be sharp in both mind and body with the hope that he could essentially be made into the ultimate living weapon. His name was a reflection of this hope, but he is also a very sensitive boy with more thoughtfulness and consideration for others than either of his parents deem necessary.

When he was younger, Strike met a boy a year older than him named Liron Aceso who he came to admire and view as an older brother figure. Liron taught Strike both directly and indirectly through various ways and situations that he didn’t have to be what his parents wanted him to be. He taught him that such a thing as ‘unconditional love’ existed. Strike, who would have been the sort to cling to his mother if she tolerated such a thing, ended up clinging to Liron instead in his shyness and has more or less done so ever since.

First Instance of Magic: When Strike was 10 years old and Liron was 11, Strike had heard that Liron had been sent away from Greece to London to attend Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Strike also wanted to attend the same school that Liron was, but he had yet to show any signs of magic. In fact, his parents had started to fear that despite them being purebloods, their son might have been a squib. When Strike's parents took him with them to London for their regular family trip, Strike wanted so badly to see Liron that he ran to Lirons' cousin's house before his parents could say anything. The thing was that he got there faster than should have been possible. Shortly after that incident, Strike received his invitation to Hogwarts and had to explain what had happened to his parents.
