FLYNN :
english origin, from an irish surname, an anglicized form of Ó floinn meaning "descendant of flann". flynn was named after his great-grandfather on his mother's side who died long before he was even born.
LANDYN :
english origin, varient of landon. from a surname that was derived from an old english place name meaning "long hill" (effectively meaning "ridge"). no real heritage meaning behind the name, it was named it simply because his parents liked the sound of it.
NORTH :
english origin, from the english word "north" referring to the direction north, or "up, above". his father's surname.
MCGOWAN :
mcgowan is an irish and scottish surname. the name derives from the gaelic word `gabha', meaning son of the iron worker. it's the surname of his adoptive mother, and a name flynn decided to take on for himself once he turned eighteen.

13th march, 2040

water
RULING BODY :
neptune
PLACE OF BIRTH :
christchurch, new zealand
NATIONALITY :
new zealander
ETHNICITY :
new zealand-american. his mother was born in wellington and his father was born in kansas city, missouri.
BLOOD STATUS :
half-blood. his father was a pureblood and his mother was a muggle.
PREVIOUS RESIDENCE :
holmwood house for boys, nelson, new zealand. his previous dumping ground. he's been moved around from orphanage to orphanage and foster home to foster home over the years for causing too much trouble with the other kids. this was never home to him, none of them were. it's just another place he has to stay before he no doubt moves on to somewhere else.
CURRENT RESIDENCE :
flynn currently lives in wellington after moving in with siobhan after she adopted him during the christmas break 2053
-----------------------------------------------------
AGE :
18
HEIGHT :
6'1"
BUILD :
a bit on the lanky skinny side of things he looks a bit underweight, but he still eats enough for two growing boys. he also comes in a little under the recommended weight for his age and height, but this is due to the fact he is missing a foot and a bit of one leg.
CONDITIONS :
at the beginning of the winter break before his second year, flynn got into a car accident on his way to a temporary foster home, which resulted in his lower right leg being amputated to save his life so he could be pulled safely from the wreckage. his right foot and about 1/3 of his leg below the knee was removed. he was fitted with a prosthetic just before heading off for his second year so is still able to walk, though also has crutches to use when walking becomes too hard.
HAIR :
dark and brown and curly. it usually just looks like a mop on top of his head because it's too hard to brush most of the time and he just can't be bothered to try and tame it.
EYES :
a mix between hazel on the outside and dark green more towards the pupil.
ACCENT :
typical new zealand with a small lilt of american he picked up from his father which really comes out when he starts shouting and getting angry.
TYPICAL STYLE :
though has grown older, flynn never truly grew out of the scruffy look. he never makes a massive effort, tending to go with a lot of graphic tees and hoodies and high-top sneakers. though he rarely wears shorts when he's out of the house, preferring to keep his prosthetic limb hidden even if he doesn't really care if people know about it anymore.

HOGWARTS HOUSE :

WAND :
knotted 13 1/2 inch flexible fir wand with augurey tail feather core
LENGTH :
a strange length for a wand and a number which symbolizes misfortune.
STYLE :
the knots of this wand's original wood remain clearly visible - earthy, this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature.
WOOD :
"the survivor's wand' - a wand of fir chooses a wizard or witch that is not easily done away with.
CORE :
since so many wizards are afraid to go near augureys due to their association as omens of death, augurey tail feathers are rare as wand cores. they are good for use in divination work.
FLEXIBILITY :
not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its wielder.
