● abilities: -- Magic: Draco's magic requires his wand. He is very skilled and intelligent, hosting a decent amount of spells knowledge. -- Occlumency: Draco excels at and has a natural talent for Occlumency, which is shielding his mind from mental intrusion. Given his raising and ability to 'shutdown' emotion and compartmentalize. -- Potions: Given his intelligence as well as relatively close relationship with his Potions Master, Severus Snape, Draco not only holds a keen interest in potions, but a good bit of knowledge in it. While he had no need for work and was not actively wishing to become a Potions Master, he still improves upon his knowledge and could easily become a Potion's Master.
● strengths: -- Etiquette: Draco has the social know-how, vocabulary and mannerisms of the upper crust. He can be unerringly polite and is able to engage in verbal sparring. He is in his element in social situations and can maneuver easily, knowing the 'song and dance' of them all too well. -- Familial Love & Loyalty: In this, no one can fault him. His love is strong and pure when it comes to his family. Able to acknowledge the faults of his parents, and yet still able to love them and continue to be loyal, even if more realistic in it these days. -- Unicorn Core: Despite his best attempts in trying to save his family from a madman, Draco still exhibits a soul worthy of wielding a wand with a Unicorn Hair core. He has taken no life, tortured no poor soul. Despite the duality of darkness within, he is still largely 'innocent' in comparison to other marked Death Eaters. This fact is more often than not his saving grace and what is allowing him to grow from being a hate filled and spiteful boy into a more accepting man. ● weaknesses: -- Judgemental: No matter the strides Draco is making in the aftermath of the war, he will always be the product of his raising. There will always be a part of him that judges those around him. So while he largely pulls away from the purist views and stances, he is still Draco Malfoy. He still thinks himself a step above most. -- Arrogant: Likewise, this will never fully disappear. Raised to think himself above all others, it is too ingrained within him. Draco simply cannot help himself. -- Vanity: Draco takes meticulous care of his appearance. Born from earlier years of trying to emulate his father and being under his mother's careful grooming, it is simply not something easy shaken off. While he is largely his own creature now, this care for his appearance still shows. It is also highly indicative of his mental state, as the level and kind of care in his appearance is an unwitting window into his soul. It also is something that can be used to make him uncomfortable or anxious. You want to upset him? turn his hair a different color, use it up, or toss him in a muddy puddle. (Or mention how much like a ferret he looks.) -- Duality: Draco is not all innocence, sunshine and rainbows. Unicorns do not prance about in his dreams. Draco is his father's son and was raised with Purist ideology. He is the son of a Death Eater, and was a Death Eater himself. He's seen horrible things, been put into a horrible situation set up for the purpose of him failing and so torturing his father with the knowledge there was, supposedly, no way his son could achieve this task. As task he could not complete in the end, yes, but he tried time and time again. The darkness is there, it is just that the light shines a bit brighter. He is not a nice person, he is not soft and fuzzy on the inside. He sneers and makes snide comments, his humor often sarcastic and sometimes cutting. Even, at times, taking a dark turn to his humor. His views teeter back and forth between optimism and pessimism. Anger, guilt and melancholy are things often suppressed and shut down within himself, shoved away and not addressed. He can be quite cold and disconnected in situations as well, given the right circumstances. -- Competitive: Draco likes to win. He likes proving his superiority. Age and experience are lending well in providing caution in these things, but he is still a young adult, still greatly moved by impulse most of the time. He likes to compete, but he can also be a sore loser. He does not take loss well at all.
● job skills (optional): Draco has never worked a day in his life. However, he has good social skills. He is also booksmart, quick to learn with proper motivation, and has a love for complex things and situations. ● housing (optional): He would prefer solitary living. I am evil, though, and say if you want to toss him with other people then please, do so. I enjoy making him uncomfortable.
