Biography: The youngest of his specific parentage, he has siblings both older and younger than himself. Notably, his eldest half-sister Olivia Hess graduated from Hogwarts last year, he shared a mother with her. His eldest half-brother, Vladimir Athanatos (NPC owned by this author used in events) recently graduated from Hogwarts in 2024, they share a father. His second eldest half brother is Jürgen Hess (NPC owned by this author used in events) is still in Hogwarts and they share the same mother, he has been raised primarily in the Athanatos household but has also spent significant time in the Hess homestead as well. His second eldest half-brother is Giddeon Athanatos (NPC owned by this author used in events) who is also still in Hogwarts and they share the same father. He also has a squib half-sibling, Dirk with whom Aamon shares a mother with. Aamon has had limited association with Dirk to their unfortunate lack of magical promise, a failure in breeding and legacy unfortunately. He has a few younger half-siblings also, however he does not spend a great deal of time with these younger family members yet (remains vague because I do not want contradictory information regarding the family tree).
While his family might seem odd to some, the family tree might require a spreadsheet, to a pureblood such as himself, marriages and children are not always (or even often) made as a product of love but rather as simply a 'product.' His father, Thaddeus Athanatos is a pure-blooded Seer and rumored legilimens and his mother, also Olivia (his older half-sister has the same name) is a Seer. Due to the rarity of their bloodline and psychic talent, it is considered their duty to not only have large families to expand their numbers but to also maintain genetic diversity, so he has many half-siblings and cousins with confusing connections that he considers to be natural and expected.
((Please note: having a familial background of Seers does not make Aamon necessarily a Seer. I am aware that to be a Seer he would need to complete the application when registering with Index.))
Besides his unique perspective on familial normalcy, he had a rather common, albeit privileged childhood. He grew up wealthy, so wanted for little besides the attention of his parents who lived separate lives in separate homes. There was never witnessed affection between his biological parents, however he was well cared for and they both took an active role in raising Aamon.
He was educated in a private school for pureblooded wizards. While there are no known public institutions for the early training of wizard children, elementary education can be provided in a group setting without subsidy or oversight from the Ministry of Magic and that was the case with young Aamon. Aamon and several other, like-aged children were provided their basic education in a classroom setting in London. He would arrive daily via floo and return nightly to his homestead in Bath. He did well enough there, learning basic maths, science, geography, history and literature. At home, since his family was quite large and diverse and his parents did not have a great deal of time to spend with him individually, he spent a lot of his free time with tutors that taught him how to play various instruments. This was considered leisure time for him and as such he is passionate about music.
First Instance of Magic:
Ammon's first instance of magic was rather average, he was 3 years and 6 months of age when his first instance of magic officially occured. He was playing the piano (he was quite young when he started to play so his skill was no more than a poor rendition of Mary had a Little Lamb at this time) when a loud noise caused by his older brother Giddeon had startled him and Aamon let out a shriek. The shriek caused the piano to split in half.
The incident was easily noticed and resulted in a grand reception by the tutor that was overseeing his lesson. It was one of the few days he ever saw his biological parents together in the same room and this remains a fond, core memory.
Height: Taller than most, Aamon stands at 5 foot, 1 inches placing him in the 97th percentile for his age group. Height, for the most part, is one of the few physical traits that remains consistent with his family.
Weight: Athletic, it is well-known that muscle weighs more than fat but the scale has been a source of distress for Aamon. He presently weighs 125 pounds, making him technically 'overweight' per height-weight charts but in truth he has very little fat.
Hair: Brown hair with barely noticeable natural blonde highlights. His hair is considered medium-length and remains well-groomed. During the school year his squared medium length haircut can resemble a wavy quiff because he does not cut his own hair and often his hair grows faster than maintenance at a barber shop on holidays alone could allow.
Eyes: Blue eyes with a segmental heterochromia or heterochromia iridis. Specifically he has a patch of brown in his left iris, but otherwise his eyes are blue.
Attire: He dresses well, often donning collared shirts and jackets in his off-time. In class he simply wears his wizarding robes or school uniform.
Mental Description: Aamon is hard-working and intelligent. He was reared in a household that valued success and because he has so many siblings and cousins, he finds it hard to stand out. He is often left in the shadow of his brothers and cousins and hopes that he will be able to free himself from the expectations and comparisons with his family. He is also ambitious, he feels that he will be successful and hopes to one day be a Prefect or a quidditch captain.Weight: Athletic, it is well-known that muscle weighs more than fat but the scale has been a source of distress for Aamon.
