History/Background Story:
Reducio
Everyone knows, even till today how the belief of magic — self created miracles would be considered paganism. And like many many nations of old history, the fore-bearer and pioneers of magic were Witches! However in the beginning watches and wizards roamed the world freely, but this led to instill immense fear for many untalented in the art, one of the main driving forces leading to mass genocide of those with magical talents. What does this mean for Emmanuel? Nothing much besides the fact ancestors on both sides long ago had fled the lands of Great Britain, finding haven within the middle-east and traveling the seas for someplace safe. However the troubles they had before would still follow, dwelling off the Pure-Blood rather quickly, they didn’t know which was worse — the hot desert sun and sand, or being washed overboard into the fierce and cold seas, or watching their loved ones die in worse ways than back in the mother country when it was revealed the magic aptitude that have.
It was at this point that through careful planning both sides found ways to successfully hide their magic ability — uniting themselves with powerful families within the middle-east, and through fate it would seem, Caribbean Islands. Though of course, the Pure-Blood status was lost through the generations, but with some careful selections the magic still ran fairly strong. Fast-forwarding to the recent century, Abuelo Requiza, like most of his family, resided within the Caribbeans still. Having established a successful business for themselves and also reconnecting with a family who survived the hunt all those years ago in the motherland, once again rose to glory, even some of his uncles and aunts graduated from Hogwarts. This would of course also include his son, Emmanual’s father.
On the other-side of the world, Abuela Syander’s and her daughter, better known as his madre, weren't as well off. Though they need not struggle, the power play between men with ego much too big would constantly keep the city her family called home riddled with violence and death. However his madre was smart, careful and used a gift even her madre didn’t know of to grasp a spot in the local college. One particular moment during just year two of higher schooling, she’d notice a flyer for a cultural club trip to the carribeans. Emmanuel’s Abuela calls it a stroke of luck or fate, however he’d soon figure out later that in that moment his mother had actually used a gift known to be recessive in her family, a type of foresight or precognition! What did she see you ask? Well Ms. Syander’s face blushed beat red, images crossing her vision but one thing that was distinct — a heart shaped tattoo on a man’s left arm. It was then and there that she made up her mind to join this club and seek this man.
In the end, madre ended up with his padre and conjoined two once strong lineages of wizards and witches. However, this recessive gift wasn’t something to overlook, no not at all. Since the fact it was hidden at first, would come to the light, as well as being confirmed to not only be something the Syander’s possess, but the Requiza’s as well. Little Emmanuel could remember it like yesterday, it was his 7th birthday, Abuela and Abuelo sat merrily sipping on a sweet nectar for adults, the children all gathered around, well those old enough to understand. A sense of deja vu swept over him, noting he felt like he had already seen this scene before. From the way his Abuelo would hold the glass and his Abuela shaking her head in disappointment in the fact all the cake was gone. Something was going to be done or said in this moment he thought, and like clockwork the grandparents spilled the true lineage of their family to all present.
Somehow both the Syander’s and Requiza’s were both descendant of as unique race — Seers! Their magical gift lies in the ability to ‘see’ parts of the future and in later stages able to directly attempt to direct fate. Slightly shocked and bewildered, of course he was excited, wishing that he was indeed blessed with such a gift, though unbeknownst to him — he was. Abuela further explained that the only way to really identify such a gift would be the graying of hair, and or confirmation from the person themselves, of course they weren’t the only family of Seers.
After this day, the years that followed would slowly reveal and make apparent to him that he indeed has the gift, although weak, it was present. Not to mention that various streak of grey hair within his braided hair, giving it a salt and peppered look, the falling incident before he joined Hogwarts confirmed it. The ill-omen he had in the tree, following the image of slipping would be the sign, though he couldn’t do much about it, though luckily he survived by forcefully using his magic.
Thus brings in the youngest Seer of the Requiza Lineage of Half-Bloods.
A Lineage That Crosses Seas
Everyone knows, even till today how the belief of magic — self created miracles would be considered paganism.

Emmanuel Min Requiza is a very optimistic child, seeing the fun and joy in most situations he finds himself in or is presented to. However this doesn’t mean he’s ignorant to the dark-side of the world, no he simply chose to not let such things dampen his mood. Trickster by heart, he loves to attempt pranks and is found with other children categories as ‘problem children’. But that’s usually the extent of his misbehavior, since in actuality he’s nice to everyone, though admittedly a bit on the soft spoken side. Like all people one earth, Emmanuel has pet peeves, which includes interrupted from sleep, entitled snobs, having to repeat himself, and
11 years ago, on one of many Caribbean Islands, the world was blessed with a small energetic child. His parents, Afro-Caribbean descendants themselves, sought to live a life of peace after leaving the world that miracles were created by man, instead of god — yes! The little child Emmanuel's parents were once a practicing wizard and witch, retiring from official duties only years prior to his birth. Why? Mostly due to old age and not wanting the same danger filled life for their future child. However the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, although both parents come from a line of wizards and witches, both had been tainted with muggle blood after a drastic decline of magic talent and the woes and strife of the world. Thus his parents didn’t have too high of hopes when it came to his potential awakening. But surprise surprise when the little Requiza was around the age of 10, one short year away from the normal admittance age, the Caribbean family had moved to London, England for work and had their son make friends with their friends' children.
Well on one particular day, the children like numerous times before, found the large tree sitting in his yard the source of interest, timing each other on how quickly they could climb, and to ultimately just check out the view from above. Regardless of the times told to stop, they did anyway, but something was different this time. As confident as he was, when Emmanuel tried climbing down he had a gut feeling something was going to happen, a sudden spike in fear of height that he never had before. ‘Snap!’, of a branch and his was perpendicular to the tree stump and seconds from impact — nothing. Unknowingly at some point his eyes closed, and he thought it was the end for him, cursing his stupidity for climbing such a high tree. Slowly opening his eyes after shots from friends and parents, it was weird to see that the world was upside down, the blood rushing towards his head. It was the first time he used magic, although an accident, this day would mark his aptitude to become a wizard. In regards to subtle residue magic from birth, it was long gone, though he never had noticeable moments of using magic til now.
The following year, with braided black hair, sun-kissed skin and glasses sitting in front of two orbs of honey which were his eyes, Emmanuel Min Requiza was ready to follow in his parents footsteps.
