Remy Break | First Year Slytherin

BACKSTORY

ㅤ

ㅤRemy was born July 3rd 2014 to a woman named Wrogan. He lived with her for as long as he could remember, from the moment of birth to the moment he got the letter to Hogwarts. Remy specifically was not exposed very intricately to his father’s presence, all he knew was that his father pretty much had a one night stand and just abandoned his mother, abandoned his child. Now, he also knew that his mother made it known to his father that he had a child, but still, even then his own father didn’t really want to interface with him. ㅤIt always confused Remy. It started driving him nuts. Not insane, but just annoyed that he existed and that a certain parent didn’t really want to care much about him. While he was growing up, he was taught basic English and the bare basics of math and other subjects by his own mother, who seemed to be smarter than he was.

ㅤHis life wasn’t really that special. He lived a very simple childhood. He played with other kids his age, he was in the outdoors a lot, and he knew how to grow his own food and act as if he were a homesteader in (american) pioneer life, along with his mother, being able to grow crops, can food and raise and butcher livestock. No, they didn’t live on a farm, but the community he lived with had to have some way of surviving without being barbaric in any way.

ㅤThis was just normal for him. Even farm children are capable of doing things that city kids struggle doing until later in their lives if they manage to put forth the effort into doing so. Remy was kind of like a farm kid, but he was neither one who lived on a farm nor one that lived in the city. He just had the knowledge. It was baked into him as he grew up.

ㅤWhen he turned 10, he received a letter from his father that simply stated that he apologized for not being there as he grew up, but he couldn’t take on any children as it would be much too heartbreaking for his very wonderful wife that he had cheated on. And inside was a vault number, not that Remy recognized it, but he would find that he had the money in the vault for what he would need for Hogwarts if he ever happened to display his first instance of magic, and only within a few weeks, that was very true. He had displayed this first instance of accidental magic.

ㅤHe would show the letter to his mother after reading it and only within a few months would they go to Diagon Alley.

PART-GIANT

ㅤBack in 2014, he was born to a full blooded Giant from the Scottish Highlands, around Durness. His father was a human, as was his other half brothers he would later find out that he had (Buck Break and Elmo Break).

ㅤHis father had a brief affair with his mom, Wrogan, before returning to his wife and that left Wrogan to raise her son alone among the giant community near Drness. He was a half giant, and his mother’s son. He grew up in a community ruled by a Gurg, and the community itself consisted of roughly 20 giants that lived in cramped mountain caves. They lived in the cave called Smoo Cave.

ㅤHe often slept near his mother, feeling that her protection was enough, even if the giant that watched for danger at night was already there for their safety. But besides that simple concept of a Giant community, he lived in a place where the traditional giant behavior would be highlighted- the physical dominance and menacingness. There were kind giants, of course, but the ones that Remy would interface with were not exactly as kindhearted.

ㅤHe felt that strength was maybe the prime characteristics that his community would respect, more that than anything else, any other qualities.

ㅤFrom birth, his own life was developed around these giants, and his mother pretty much defended their place in the caves until he was old enough to fight for himself and taught him the survival through instinct rather than through affection. What this eventually grew into was resentment and despise.

ㅤGiants are known for their short temper and impatience, well, that’s exactly what Remy is! He has a short temper and is very impatient. He wants things done now, he wants the world to revolve around him so he can command the situation. That is Remy.

ㅤHe learned early, in his childhood specifically, that to be kind was to display weakness and would allow people to take advantage of you. He was also taught that acknowledgement also only came through force. His mother may have been a smart giant, but she had, like Remy, a resentment towards the man she slept with, and it only fueled her narcissistic view on life.

ㅤAmong the other children, he was smaller than them, and he often became their target. They mocked him and used him as a punching bag (practically), threw him into the air as they played a monkey in the middle type of game that involved throwing the smaller giant towards another giant in the air and the game would end when they touched the ground. It was a game that they invented, called In The Air, and from these moments in his life around these kids, his frustration and insecurity grew and fueled his loud and blunt, yet physical personality.

ㅤNow, Wrogan also educated him with basics of English but also taught him the words of the Giant tongue, and it was a language that he was grateful to have. WIthout either English or Giant, how else was he to communicate? It mostly sounded like gibberish or grunting either way, and at least thanks to his mother, he went through the basics of homeschool.

ㅤLater on, when he experienced his first instance of magic, he began being hit with other random bursts, smaller than the first, just fizzling away every so often, but not often enough that it is noticeable or that it would matter. He would later find out that he was not made to be an adept caster, no, he wasn’t like the wizards, he didn’t grow up with a focus on developing his intellect and concentration skills. He grew up with the idea of strength and dominance. He wouldn’t know how to contain or handle magic as well as others could, and later, he would see that he had a better chance of hurting himself if he tried to cast spells. Yet, he did notice that growing up, he was able to pack a punch that was greater than the normal individual, to leave a lingering mark, a dent, a hole in something that shouldn’t have a hole- like a tree.

ㅤHis skin was also thicker than those who weren’t giants, and Remy didn’t really understand how that worked, but alas, biology was hard to understand as a Giant who only understood the bareboned basics of elementary-tier topics.

ㅤHis mother was not gentle as he grew up, being blunt and controlling, but she made Remy the way he was today.

FIRST INSTANCE OF MAGIC

ㅤRemy was just out playing with the others in his community when he got tired of being shoved around and picked on and it pushed him to the point where he just... snapped. He yelled out a slew of profanity their way and while he was doing so, while he was raging, one of the white sheep's wool turned fire red, and of course, he didn't notice it. ㅤHe was too blind. Blind to the rage. ㅤBut this was his first instance of accidental magic, fuel by anger. Pent up rage. And he just had to let it out.

PERSONALITY

ㅤ

ㅤRemy was not put here on this Earth to make friends, he most certainly was not here to play nice. From a very young age, he learned that sometimes being blunt, confrontational and unapolgoetically self serving, was probably the best choice to surviving in a world where you feel alone even if you were not. ㅤHe thrives on the friction of his interactions with other people, saying things to hurt them or to say what other people might be too polite to even say. And in a verbal altercation, he most definitely was not going to back down. He actively aims to try and find weak spots of his victims, trying to get a reaction out of them.

APPEARANCE

ㅤRemy is white, and has a swept light brown hair and almost always a smirk on his face. He is 6'7" (changes with age, refer to chart below) and he weighs just a bit more than the average 11 year old. ㅤHis preferred choice of outfit is typically whatever he THINKS is intimidating but also is comfortable. This could include a greaser style outfit to the quidditch uniforms, but never the school uniform. Never the dorky outfits they would make them wear.
