Name: Adam David Reznik
Nicknames: Rez
Age: 22
Blood: Muggleborn
Appearance: Adam stands around 6'3" and is best described as 'scruffy'. He sports a beard and pretty much lives in old band tees. He's put on a little weight since leaving school, and while he's perfectly healthy and looks fine etc. etc. some people might notice that he's become more of a self-conscious 'shirt on at the pool' kind of guy in recent years.
Personality: Adam is a sweet, friendly, big golden retriever of a guy. Drop him in pretty much any situation, and he'll walk away with five new best friends. He has his down days like anyone else, but makes a concerted effort to approach life with an accepting, positive attitude. He is well-read and book smart, but naive and rather lacking in the common sense department. Adam trusts people indiscriminately and doesn't always remember to take basic precautions. Similarly, adult responsibilities are a struggle for him. He's gullible, effortlessly latches onto new ideas and quite possibly suffers from 'a mind so open his brain may fall out'. Adam is an overly excitable, painfully earnest oddball at his core. He will also do pretty much anything for a laugh.
Adam is a creative soul. While not the most polished or technically proficient of musicians, he has an emotive, gravelly singing voice and pours his full being into everything he creates. He works magic with Photoshop, video editing and web design (...granted, often for bizarre and unnecessary reasons). He's also a major foodie, lover of international cuisine and therefore an ambitious, experimental cook. He likes to take care of people and make them feel at home.
Background: Adam grew up in Brighton, the first child of Marnie and David Reznik (a pair of English teachers). His younger siblings are Leah (21, graduate research student in Astrophysics at Oxford), Noah (18, painfully shy and obsessed with military history, entering his first year of university) and Abraham (15, fun-loving troublemaker). Despite being the only wizard in his family, Adam embraced his invitation to Hogwarts with gusto. He worried a bit about his family's reaction -- attendance at a top university is almost expected in the Reznik family -- but they've always been supportive of his choices. The Sorting Hat barely touched young Adam's head before immediately declaring him a Hufflepuff.
David Reznik was diagnosed with lung cancer when Adam was twelve and passed away the next year, a few days before Adam's Bar Mitzvah. His death was obviously devastating to the family, and Marnie has been overly protective (some would say 'smothering') of her children ever since. Adam is very close to his mother, who sends him amazing home-cooked food near-constantly and has tremendous difficultly letting go of Adam (or his girlfriend, or any of his friends close or casual) when they come to visit.
Adam lives with his long-term girlfriend Ella Thomas and has been bouncing between jobs since graduation. He's been a Knight Bus conductor and Muggle Liaison (a job he recently lost due to department downsizing). He's currently unemployed and a little frustrated and aimless. He wants to buy a snack van and roll up shop in Hogsmeade, but will pick up any odd job that needs doing in the mean time.
Characteristics: After going through anoverly long extended period of producing cacophonous electronica mixes full of weird noises pieced together on his laptop, Adam now sticks to low-fi, rambling, vaguely folkish alterna-rock (TM Futurama). It's really the only logical move for a harmonica player/acoustic guitarist who feels the need to sing about every single thing that happens in his life.
Adam really, truly does not understand sports at all. Despite his BEST FRIEND playing professionally. Don't get him wrong, he's plenty enthusiastic about it!!!! Just, you know, don't be surprised if he confuses a Bludger with a Quaffle.
Music, films and stand-up are more his jam! He has his favorite albums and comedy bits stone-cold memorized and will recite them at the slightest provocation.
Other: Gives fantastic hugs? idk
