| Bio: | Character Name: Severus Tobias Snape Age/Birthdate: Jan 9, 1960 - 21ish. Wand: Dragon heartstring made of ebony, cut 15 inches long Bloodline: Half-blood (Father Muggle, Mother Pureblood Witch) Family: Tobias Snape and Eileen Prince-Snape Severus Snape is much like a three layered cake. Chocolate to be exact since it is very decadent, you have the icing. Though normally, when you think of chocolate icing, it's ment to be alluring. Beckoning you to come and taste it. See how yummy it is, this icing will most likely cause you to die because it's poisoned. Probably concocted by the cake itself. Now, why the odd analogy? Cause I have a point. Severus' icing is very much in order to keep people away, kind of like the prickles of a porcupine. It's very prickly and not very friendly. That he is quick with his silver tongue, to cut you down, to wound you and send you crying. Such words were not restrained for simply the adults. No, he often focused such attentions on the children, especially his students. Severus has little apparent social-skills, though he knows every bit of how to act, he doesn't care. He has no reason to compliment you, he has no reson to stroke your feathers or even make you comfortable. He's blunt and accusing. He'll snap at you, crinkle his nose at you, frown and then send you away with a wave of his hand. Making you feel welcome was for the other idiots in the world. He'd only save his kind words for the cauldrons. Now, if you survive the icing, you could get a wonderful treat. Now, normally, if you make a cake right, what's inside is soft and moist, now that may cause people to go eww, but again, I have a point. A part of Severus is good. People have seen it, albeit a little to late, it's been seen. He does have a heart, though iced over by so many years of being apart of a tortured life. Seeing and experiencing the abuse of his father and his mother, who was as magical as he, not doing a thing about. Not empowering herself to leave and taking him with her. That's another layer of the icing that is very bitter. He did, however, have a soft spot. This is the very bottom layer of the cake, going from the first layer to the third, top to bottom, is very much marked for one Lily Evans-Potter. The sparkling little red head down his street that he played with as a child. That he had became obsessed with her due to his lack of knowledge on how to feel correctly, he adored her. Wanted to be with her and joyed when both got their letters. He didn't much care about her Muggleborn-ness until they were sorted away from each other. Her into Gryffindor, he is into his mother's house of Slytherin. Then the ties became undone. He had to fit in, he had to act the ways of Slytherin, since it was mainly a Pureblooded Society, so he found himself with more access to his darkest interest; Dark Arts. Now, I've gone away from what could be considered a spongy center, but with all cakes, there is a layer icing between each layer. The rejection, the hurt and pain he felt, that led to bitterness over his breakup with Lily in school created the first layer of icing between the third and second cake layers. That within this section, hate grew steadily in his chest, aimed towards the Marauders; James, Sirius, Remus and Peter and he did everything he could do make sure he got them expelled. Sadly, it never happened and though nearly killed, he was saved by one of the few people he hated. That made him hate more. Now, the second layer, the center cake, was reserved for what Albus Dumbledore had done for him. That not long after he joined the Death Eaters, he overheard part of a prophecy and quickly told the Dark Lord what he heard. This started his own personal level of hell. That when he learnt about the Potter's being marked for death, he again felt the love he had for Lily, the posessive what cared about her and he quickly ran to Dumbledore, vowing his loyalty to the wizard if he would just protect Lily. Though their deaths were delayed, the inevitable was reached. His Lily was killed. All that was left was her son. Voldemort was vanquished and he found himself at the mercy of Albus Dumbledore, but the kind old man saw much more in Snape than others and vouched for him, kept him in service as Professor and saught to create a friendship with the man. Albus was the only other individul, save Lily, to ever be in his heart. That with the twinkle of his eyes and the merry way he offered sweets and tea, Severus could never deny Albus anything. Then came Harry Potter. That was the other laying of icing between the top cake and the middle. He hated that child because of how he looked so much like James, how he acted like James. How he bore James' name, but the eyes is what killed Severus. He has his mother's green pools. That was how they pulled him into wanting to protect Harry like he wanted to protect Lily. This layer was thin, because as bitter as he was towards Harry, he did everything he could to protect him against Quirrel, against Lupin when he was in werewolf form and even against Sirius Black who he acually thought was coming to harm Harry. How he taught him Occulmens and bowed down to Albus' pressure to train him. Now, alot of what was mentioned in that last layer, makes up the third and final layer of cake reserved for multiple people. That how he bowed down to Albus' wishes to train Harry, that as hard as Severus tried, he couldn't allow Harry to be hurt. How he protected him and even the student body, as much as he could, against Umbridge and later Voldemort and the Carrows. That how he went to Albus Dumbledore and told him of Draco's instructions, that he was told by the same old man that he loved very much, that he was to kill him. That's what Albus wanted. Draco also managed to worm his way under Severus' wing. That how he got cornered into service by threats to his family, that with the visiting of the Black sisters, agreed to an unforgivable vow, that his job was to kill Dumbledore and protect Draco. He succeeded in all of it, even as Hogwarts Headmaster under Voldemort until his death at his master's hands. Not because he knew Severus' affections and loyalties, but because of a god-damned wand! Born January 9th, 1960 in Northern England to a man named Tobias Snape and his wife, Eileen Prince-Snape, Severus wasn't born into a life of privledge. In fact, he was born into a life of poverty where his family often struggled to live in a slowly dying industrial area. That at Spinner's End, Severus crawled about and toddled. However, he learned quickly that daddy was not 'father knows best'. That he was a tyrannical bastard who liked to drink and take frustrations out on mummy and even to punish her, he would attack him. Severus learned quickly to be quiet and out of his father's way. Mostly so he could avoid getting hit and his mother getting hit on behalf of him. However, as he grew up quiet with pale skin that made him look sick, stringy greasy black hair and eyes that held no warmth, plus a long nose, broken once by his father, he discovered himself to have something amazing in common with his mother; Magic. He was a wizard and he saw a way out of Northern England. A way out of Spinner's End, however, those thoughts were gleefully derailed by the smiling green eyes of the girl down the street. Lily Evans. Oh, she was an intelligent spritely young witch, who even with a wretched sister named Petunia, was ever kind to him and always willing to be his companion. Though they walked together, explored and even sat at the swing sets talking, Severus found himself infatuated with her. He thought it was infatuation. What else could it be? His stomach felt funny when he was around her. His pulse quickened, his mouth went dry and he really couldn't ever meet her eyes. Lily just laughed at him warmly, nothing mocking, but she thought he was funny. He was glad though to discover she was a witch like him. It made all the possiblities more real that maybe they could be something more. However, when they got to Hogwarts, all that came crashing down when they were seperated into rival houses. He heard the comments made by her housemates over their friendship and though it cut him to the core, he refused to believe it all while struggling to remain accepted in his own house. That he was a Half-blood in a world of Pureblood Supremecy, he was starting to feel himself pulling apart at the seams. Though stuck in a never ending war against him and the Marauders, Severus experienced the worst public display of mockery of his life. He was hung upside down before the whole school with his underwear showing. He was livid, he was incensed and made more pissed when Lily came to defend him. He didn't need a girl defending him. He didn't need a Muggleborn defending him, so he snarled at her, calling her the most offensive word ever. Mudblood. That sealed their fate, that later when he tried to say he was sorry, she refused to accept it and they were forever lost. That ultimately left her in the path of James Potter, a man that would become her husband. Losing her, he lost himself in Slytherin and the Dark Arts, joining Voldemort and taking his mark. He left Hogwarts with the rest of his year, became more ingrained with the Death Eaters then asked to apply for a job at Hogwarts to spy on Dumbledore. Severus did and the rest became history. Who does your character support? Not Riddle, but Magic. He is against the witch hunts and the laws that narrows their magic. | |||||||||
