My time is just more often then others'."

The Character
Name: Skylar Anthony Mc'Gaven
Nicknames: Sky-Bear
Birthdate: March 14th
Year: 7th
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Blood Status: Pureblood
House: Slytherin
Canon or Original: Original
The Appearance
Hair: Skylar has short, sloppy, messy, mouse-brown hair. It usually just appears to have been combed through with his fingers, and nothing more.
Face: He has intense hazel eyes, though is usually always looking at the ground making the orbs hard to see.
Body & Style: He's obviously slender, due to his non-existant build, and weighs a mere 184 lbs. He’s a bit on the lean side and looks rather malnourished. His entire person seems meek and nervous, and this goes all the way into the clothing he wears and the way he presents himself.
There are times, however, when this appearance just clearly doesn't matter. Skylar has days where his clothes are always pressed, well tended to, and his entire appearance screams confidence and a boldness that just isn't natural to the boy at all. On these days, his eyes are usually a bit more brown then green, and his scent even seems to change.
Distinguishing Features: He's Skylar. His personality sets him apart, especially when you can never be certain what personality you're going up against.
Face Claim: Ryan Merriman
The Magic
Wand: Handturned from Solid Mahogany, 14 in, Essence of Unicorn Hair
Mirror of Erised: Skylar would see himself without Sky, and Sky would see the exact opposite.
Dementor: His father looming over the top of him with a certain glint to his eyes.
Patronus: A Cougar. The memory of Esme accepting both sides of him would be the one used to conjure it.
The Personality
Likes:
1. Potions and D.A.D.A. (One for each side)
2. Esme (Skylar)
3. Girls in general (Sky)
4. Getting out away from everyone and everything (Both)
5. Despite what people think from looking at him, he loves food. ANY kind of food. (Both)
Dislikes:
1. Esme (Sky)
2. Being yelled at/disciplined (Both)
3. Being led up just to be let down (Skylar)
4. Being in alarge crowd of people (Skylar)
5. Feeling as if he's being followed (Both)
Strengths:
1. Skylar, even though people seem to think other wise, is witty. He's quick to retort if the situation calls for it, and even though he doesn't like it.
2. Sky doesn't appear to be afraid of anything. He's very cocky, and very sure of himself and the ability to get out of any situation he gets himself into.
3. Both personalities are quick to the draw. While Skylar lacks the confidence to back his speed up with good curses, Sky is bold enough for his quickness to be down right dangerous.
Weaknesses:
1. Skylar's biggest weakness would have to be Esme. He would absolutely crumble if anyone used her against him or to bend him to their will.
2. He's also his own weakness. Skylar gets into situations that he can't handle, and gives into the coaxing of his darker personality, and this usually gets him into all kinds of trouble.
3. Sky's weaknesses usually center around material things. Objects that help Skylar regain his confidence and push him out of control, people who do the same. Which is why the darker half of the personality isn't fond of Esme.
Plans for the Future: To be a better man then his father was, in every way possible.
Personality: Where Skylar is concerned, the world is just one big crap-pile that a person has to trudge through. When he's on his own, he's a bit timid and usually rather quiet, and isn't hardly one to ever get into any trouble. He's respectful around authority figures, does as he's told, and takes the time to listen to the things that can help him out through life.
When around his friends, however, a whole new side of Sky roams free. He becomes almost vicious, rather sarcastic, witty, snarky, and an all around ass to those who annoy him and/or his friends. He'll usually be rather ignorant of the rules and such and really doesn't ever give a damn what anyone has to say about him and his seemingly split personality.
Where loved ones are concerned, it seems to be a teetering battle between love and comfort, and dark and amusing. There are times when Skylar can be absolutely romantic and adorable, and then there are times when a person just wants to punch him in the mouth because of the lewd and nasty things that come out of his mouth. If a person doesn't know him for what he is, they usually tend to stay away for that very reason. He doesn't make friends easily because of his split personality, and neither side of it really seems to care.
The Background
Family Members:
Daggart Mc’Gaven- Father
Lori Mc’Gaven- Mother
Residence: He lives in a foster home with a set of parents who want very dearly to love him and call him their own. Skylar, however, is trying very hard to get a place of his own in downtown London so he doesn't have to deal with them anymore.
History: Skylar grew up in Ireland with a family that really could have cared less if he lived or not. His father was a serious drug abuser (I imagine even the Wizarding World would have their drugs) and his mother fell victim to beatings and other unnecessary things throughout the duration of his life. When the abuse on his mother was no longer satisfying enough, the horrid attention was shifted to Skylar himself. These events made bullying the boy at (private) school that much easier and he endured mental and physical abuse almost daily.
Finally, however (though unfortunately enough), the abuse landed his father in Azkaban after a rather unfortunate set of events which ended up killing his mother and putting the boy in foster care- which he detested. Being Pure Blooded, he couldn’t stand the Muggle filth around him and there for kept to himself- thus where his other personality came into the picture. For some unknown reason, Sky didn’t get the news that he was to attend Hogwarts until he was 13 (which had unknowingly been the results of the orphanage’s Mistress hiding his letters.) Once he caught wind of the fact (as he knew he was SUPPOSED to go and just hadn’t- figuring it was yet another place that didn’t want him,) he packed up and set out immediately.
It took a while for the boy to adjust to Hogwarts, most because he started so late in his years. A bigger part, however, was because of the personality problem that no one seemed to know how to deal with. Professors finally just put him in the back of their rooms and let him be, figuring it was the easiest way to deal with him. This continued for years. Finally, however, Skylar met someone who seemed to understand him to the best of their abilities. Esme couldn't have chosen a better time to show up in Skylar's life. She's helped him keep control of himself for longer periods of time, and though the relationship has been rocky- and he disappeared for a while- she continues to love him, and him her- whether his darker personality likes it or not.
