Regulus Arcturus Black

[The Archivist]

Slytherin, 6th year
DOB 19.11.1961

It's hard to figure out who you are when you spend your life following your parents footsteps, doing others' bidding and living in the shadows compared to your devil-may-care, rebellious older brother, yet somehow, this year, Regulus is determined to leave his mark.

There's nothing to be said of the diminishing relationship with his brother, nothing to be said of the power-play between his parents and certainly nothing to be said of his affiliation with the darker wizards that visit the perfect, precious House of Black.

If he said anything, wouldn't there be consequences?

That's what Regulus Black's life was, a list of consequences. Speak ill of your parents wishes and face the consequence of Orion and Walburga's iron fists, speak to your sibling and suffer the silent embarassment of being abandoned by your own blood or speak of where you allegiances lie and suffer the stares of your own peers.

But in his sixth year, he's determined to change all that...
Erase the feelings and the consequences, deal his own fate...
He's determined to be rid of that smirk on his brother's face...
He's determined to be more than his parents could have ever dreamed...

Perhaps why more than ever he has taken to using his knowledge from all those years simply observing and trying to turn it into his own form of power.

Regulus & his parents
Regulus follows his parents every order, be it because of Orion's temper and iron fist, or the pressure Regulus feels to be their 'chosen' son as the only Slytherin of he and Sirius. The tension in the house between the family tears at Regulus, straining his patience at the best of times. While at times he sees his parents for the people they are he would never risk disappointing the name of Black for his own selfish reasons.

Regulus & Sirius
Despite the venemous trail of words that seems to spill from Regulus' mouth wherever his brother may be mentioned, he is still his brother and he cares deep, deep down for him as that though the words would never fall from his lips. He harbors a deep bitterness for his older sibling, having been abandoned by him and left alone with their parents, left to take the sole wrath of Orion's temper.

Regulus & Rabastan
Bast is Reg's best friend. Witty banter and snide comments on their peers aside, they both have a common dream - seeing the power against all those of unpure blood rise. At least, for the mean time, until something turns Regulus against the ideals they once held so dear.

Regulus & Alecto
A common desire was what brought them close and forever committed to one another, now Regulus could not imagine his life without Alecto. There's the same fire in her eyes that reminds him of why he's here, and what he needs to do. She is his inspiration for all the power he seeks.
