[b][i]Year 2 - Obnoxiously Strong[/i]
[/b][reducio]Arrogant and judgmental enough to know how much appearances matter, Arjan spends a lot of time exercising. This was important to him from a very young age. It started off as just playing sports with his friends when he was a child. However, he started to develop a routine. Durmstrang already encouraged morning exercises as part of the mandatory course but Arjan quickly found himself doing extra in the evenings. His routine was usually either strength based exercise or cardio and stamina building. 

He had a set of weights in his dorm. Every evening, he would start training his biceps with them. They started off as bicep curls with a pair of light weights. Over time, these became heavier weights. Arjan also found himself doing other exercises like push ups or planks. 

One day, he came across a beautiful gold railing that went over some archways. It was nothing major but he managed to reach it. Within moments, he found himself using the railing to do pull ups. It could take his weight, after all. Then again, even if it broke, he would not have been bothered. But Arjan found himself enjoying becoming strong. The first time he tried it, he struggled to do even a single pull up. When he finally started to develop more muscles, he started to achieve more - gradually increasing the number he could do in one go. The same happened with all of his exercises. Planking for ten seconds before collapsing quickly turned to holding it for a minute before reaching two. It was not long before he started to do more press ups, challenging himself to doing more than he could before.

Over the course of the months, he found himself starting to develop strong biceps. The bigger his muscles got, the more he wanted to start to show off. Impressing others, showing off and just being overly strong drove him into working hard. Arjan became obnoxiously strong through a desire to be the best in the room. Luckily for him - or perhaps unluckily - he was rather competitive. This caused a lot of jealousy and envy at times but it also provided endless motivation. 

The desire to be the best in the room was always motivating. For Arjan, this was the strongest in the room. He had a lot of competition - there were people with better genetics than his, such as part-giants or people with more training. He lacked both. But he had the desire to be the best. That was enough. That was his drive. 

Over time, the more he trained, the stronger he became. As time went on, he started to become "obnoxiously strong".

[b][i]Year 3 - The Martial Artist[/i]
[/b][reducio]In his third year, Arjan was unable to play Quidditch for his school. He wanted to be a beater but his lack of teamwork abilities, the fact that he was more likely to lose his temper and turn against his own team mates meant he was never on the team. He enjoyed the sport in lessons but he was not accepted on the school team. Arjan did not let that stop him, however. It was odd. For a pureblood, he actually adopted a lot of muggle sports without realising it. From kicking a ball around with his friends to tackling them in a game that was very similar to what muggles might consider 'rugby'. 

It was in his second year that he understood how discipline played a big part in training and sports. He was introduced to various forms of exercise where he could train and work on his abilities alone. Some took the form of gymnastics or strength based yoga - such as learning how to do handstands, cartwheels, shoulder stands and so on. But he also discovered the world of combat. Physical forms of self-defense and combat - also known as martial arts.

Arjan did not really stick to one specific form of 'martial arts'. Perhaps he lacked the discipline to really stick to one. Or perhaps, he just was not interested in any specific one. Rather, Arjan tried a variety of different arts. It was only the basic moves of the different forms that he tried but it was a start. Over time, he picked up a few moves that would help him in any physical fight. Without a wand or magical talent - which he was struggling with - physical combat was his forte. 

In all honesty, there were a few moves that he learned was what everyone could do. A basic punch or a kick, for example. It was nothing fancy. But it was highly effective at the best of times. Simple, yet effective. Arjan did, however, learn how to minimise the chance of breaking his hand whilst punching someone and did spend time training his body to withstand more power than it could before. Likewise, he worked on his flexibility to allow his kick to reach higher than it had previously. 

But there were also a few things that he picked up, which might be a little less "basic" over time. For example, how to choke hold someone or grapple with them properly. Arjan may have lacked the discipline to stick to one specific form of martial arts but he was very good at sticking to general training. He worked hard to become a proficient fighter in a physical combat and often was found throwing the first punch, with his hotheaded nature. For someone who prided themselves on being a pureblood, it was rather amusing - and highly ironic - that he resorted to physical violence at every opportunity he got irritated.

[b][i]Year 4 - Spell Spread[/i]
[/b][reducio]For the first few years of his magical experience at Durmstrang, Arjan spent a lot of his time getting into physical fights. It was partially because he enjoyed the look of muscles on his body and appreciated being strong. But, there was another reason. It was because he was rather inept at actually casting spells. He had a few years of magical training under his belt by now - four years in fact. However, he struggled in a magical fight. 

For some reason, he lacked the ability to actually cast a spell properly or control magical items. And noticing other things? Pffft. He only noticed himself. And the cute girls, of course but actually finding or noticing other things was beyond him. It was strange. When he did manage to successfully cast a spell, he usually hit the target - and hit them hard. But actually casting them was a struggle for him. It was almost as though he lacked the wisdom to do so and it was more a case of luck.

Being bad at magic got him in trouble a few times. There was an incident when he was surrounded by a few students he had previously beaten up in a physical fight. Unfortunately, with more opponents, it was a little harder for him to fight fairly. If he was able to successfully immobilise a few of them then it would have been so much easier to take them down physically, without getting beaten up. But he continuously found himself failing and ended up losing the fight.

But Arjan was not the type to just 'accept' that he was bad. He adapted. He might not be good at successfully casting but he trained. He focused on his magical power. Through hard work, he did not get better at casting but he did learn something else. He managed to learn how to make his spells even grander than they were before. He had learned how to actually defend himself, give himself a fighting chance at the very least. Unfortunately, it did not make him any better at actually casting. It made him worse, if anything. But it was grander nonetheless.

It became harder to control, and the risks seemed to get worse but if he was successful, Arjan was suddenly capable of actually hitting multiple targets with the same spell. Well, two targets with his spell. Unfortunately, he had a very high chance of it backfiring onto himself. But when forced into a magical fight, this move had the possibility to being his trump card. It might give him a chance of turning the tide or distracting his opponents long enough to get close enough to physically hit them.

[b][i]Year 5 - Charmer[/i]
[/b][reducio]If you knew Arjan Oberoi, the first word you would think was 'charmer'. There was no question about it. Well... That's probably not exactly correct, to be fair. You could probably question that - in fact, please do. In reality, it is probably more precise to say that the boy is distracting to look at. It is his appearance that makes him catch the attention of many around him. 

He's tall, good looking and has muscles that only seem to be increasing in size. With the level of attention he pays to his appearance - from his physique to his hairstyle or clothing - he expects people to look at him, [i]and they often do[/i]. 

Of note, this is not necessarily in a romantic or flirtatious way. There are many reasons people might be distracted by his looks. He has muscles and a physique that shows that he is dedicated and willing to work hard. People often appreciate that, even if they don't find him attractive. In some cases, his reputation can sometimes be the reason. He has a mixed reputation. Rumours of him constantly getting into fights or being hotheaded and quick to anger. However, on record, he also appears to be a decent student. He's respectful to the teachers, can be polite and civil to your face and sometimes, people question if the rumours have any truth behind them. The mixed reputation is a little distracting but also part of his charm. In a way, people are never quite sure where they stand with him. It could be that they don't trust him - understandably - and are watching him to make sure he doesn't do anything. 

However, he is also just deemed rather attractive - at least outwardly - even sometimes by those that dislike his personality. He has a pretty cute smile, gorgeous hazel-brown eyes that look like they are looking directly into your soul and a way of making you feel special. Well, until he actually speaks. In reality, he's an idiot who should never open his mouth. He [i]tries[/i] to be smooth and it probably works on some people but most likely think it's awkward and ridiculous. Arjan lacks a certain level of wit or a charming personality, for sure. He is not exactly what anyone would consider 'smooth' and is more likely to be silly, cheesy or foolish than smooth. But he presents himself in a certain way and from [i]afar[/i] - aka when he's quiet - he can be rather distracting to look at. 

This comes from years of training. Being in a pureblood household, with a family that focus on the importance of appearances and reputation, Arjan learned how to present himself at gatherings. No matter how angry he got, no matter how stupid he thought everyone around him was or how much he wanted to just punch someone's face in, he would bite back his tongue and [i]appear[/i] polite, respectful and charming. It was all about the reputation. Of course, he would spend an extra hour afterwards exercising to remove his pent up anger. Boxing, for example, was a really good outlet for him - at least, when he had magic to remove any signs from his knuckles or boxing gloves to prevent them in the first place.

Over the summer holidays, he had a few experiences that started to show him just how charming he really was. At least, in his head. One incident took place in the "Capture the Base" event over summer camp. Students from Hogwarts, for example, were totally into him - charmed by his handsome good looks and incredible charm. Lydia Cooper [i]totally[/i] fell of him! [i]Literally[/i]. [At the very least... he fully believed that she was into him, regardless of what the reality may have been. In his head, she literally fell head over heels for him and his charming personality and good looks].

Incidents like this was evidence that he was really rather charming and it boosted his self-confidence to new heights that those who knew him would not have considered possible. This extra confidence, the smirk, the bad boy reputation he was gathering... they all seemed to have their own sort of charm to it. All in all, he really was a charmer.
