Name: Kevin Brian Walsh
Nicknames: Kev
Blood: Pureblood
Age: 20
Appearance: Kevin is typically identified by his very slight build, particularly in a career that tends to favor a bit more brawn. He can't put on weight to save his life and comes in at a little under 5'6". He reckons he'll get taller still but... he probably won't. Kevin is a very pale and very spotty guy even now that he's out of his teen years, and has a tendency to pick at his acne scabs, leaving small scars behind. He has huge dark brown eyes, buzzed hair and a scattering of moles dotted about his face.
Personality: Kevin is primarily marked by his irrepressible urge to provoke and needle at people until he gets any sort of reaction out of them. While not the brightest bulb, he's completely fearless: while his cynical outlook on life is pure Slytherin, his personality has distinct strands of the red and gold that very nearly got him sorted into Gryffindor.
Kevin obtusely works his way through social situations in an unflinchingly honest, but clumsily rude sort of way. He's impulsive and destructive and his daily habits are fairly disgusting. Kev is a diehard pessimist who never met a person or concept unworthy of tremendous mocking. Wrapped up in the World of Kevin, where everyone's a dick and everything is awful, he can never quite grasp the perspectives of others. He keeps his expectations low, so he won't be too surprised when other people ultimately prove disappointing.
He's pretty much covered in raw nerves and it's not difficult at all to hit on one of his sore subjects. Kevin acts out for attention, gets into trouble and fights frequently (even if he's forced to belong to the "small but scrappy" school of fighting). He takes offense to offers of help and friendship unless it's someone he's already decided he likes, giving him only a select few close friends.
Background: Kevin's father (Aaron Walsh) is a harsh and misanthropic, often philandering Healer who on the first of August, 2009... was sent to Azkaban for his time as a Deatheater, after a crucial piece of incriminating evidence was uncovered by the Wizengamot. His mother (Shannon Walsh, née Armitage) is a socialite with an acerbic, cutting wit and an addiction to invasive cosmetic procedures ("the only reason Mum looked shocked when Dad cheated on her is because her face is stuck like that"). He was neglected by his parents growing up, and was pretty clearly raised with no guidance or boundaries whatsoever.
Kevin has an older brother, Owen (23), a neurotic medical researcher prone to perfectionism and a strong belief in Pureblood superiority who's the "favourite" of the two. Owen and Kevin don't get on, despite sharing a sense of sarcasm and general disdain for the human race.
Kevin impulsively dropped out of school in the middle of his seventh year, and is currently in training to become a Hit-Wizard.
Other: Kevin's Patronus is a skunk. He was ever so slightly offended to discover this.
