■ SNEAKYMorgan is quite the sneaky individual. He has a habit of disappearing and reappearing at will, and takes great pleasure on scaring people when he does this. He also has a tendency to appear in places where he isn't wanted, despite some people's desires to keep him away. ■ DECEPTIVEMorgan sees nothing wrong with lying when it suits his purposes. He has it down to an art, to the point no one knows when he's lying or when he's telling the truth. He enjoys making people guess at his intentions when they do discover his lies or his truths, since they tend to overlap at times leaving confusion in its wake. ■ MANIPULATIVEMorgan also has no problem with manipulating things to his benefit, whether it be getting ahead or obtaining something he wants. It's hard to determine his true motives when he does this, as he never says, instead covering it with a smile and a wave off as though to suggest it wasn't of much importance to him. ■ SARCASTICMorgan uses his tongue in a mocking fashion often, when he's not lying or manipulating things. His words are often biting and ironic in tone, but sometimes in a playful fashion. He rarely if ever turns this off. ■ INTELLIGENTMorgan's quite intelligent, with a real mind for thinking and analyzing. This often helps him out with trying to get his way, and he enjoys using his intellect to succeed. Ironically, he also likes to play dumb, to let people underestimate him into thinking they can take advantage of him. ■ FRIENDLYDespite all of the above, Morgan's actually quite friendly. He doesn't mind meeting and talking to new people, and often tries to engage others he runs into. He smiles and laughs often, and is generally a nice guy, unless someone does something to annoy him.

CHILDHOODMorgan is the eldest son of Theodore Armistead and Teresa Linwood. His mother had broken with tradition and given him her maiden name, ensuring that the family name would survive through him and his brother, much to his father's irritation. Because of this, Morgan's father, shortly after Heath's birth, divorced his mother and left, leaving Teresa to move back to her family's estate. During this time, Morgan found it easier not to mention his family troubles and instead buried his own feelings on the whole incident. He instead started getting more and more into trouble, to the point that his grandparents had to intervene when his mother could no longer control him. As a result, after age eight, he was raised by his grandparents, and while he settled down, still harbors resentment towards his mother for driving his father away. Being raised by his grandparents in this manner also meant they decided to groom him to potentially become the heir to the Linwood family. As the eldest male aside from his grandfather, he was taught as much as he could to successfully manage the family.
SCHOOL YEARS Morgan was sorted into Slytherin, and struck up a strange friendship with one of the other Slytherin males in his year, William Dante Nott III. However, there soon came a certain interesting wrinkle in their lives in school. Tay had been possessed by a demon by the name of Roi, an ancient being that attempted to destroy the school. Morgan found out about the demon, and instead of saying something, he kept it to himself, realizing he could very easily end up dead as a result. He managed to get within the 'army' that Roi was accumulating, and watched as Roi jumped from Tay to others. Morgan in the meantime started formulating his own plans, deciding this would explode quickly and messily. It did, when the being was apprehended within the body of one of his classmates Colton Raines. The school staff as well as ministry officials were directed to the being by a few well-placed rumours and tips, courtesy of Morgan, and he managed to keep Tay's involvement in the demon's activities to an absolute minimum. As a result, he watched happily as the demon was expelled from this life and that the whole business was finished.
During school, Morgan was pretty successful. He managed to get top marks in several classes, and even dated several girls during his time in school. He disliked the Head Boy in his year, Ronyo Storm, considering the intense rivalry the other boy had with his friend, Tay, due to the whole events of what occurred with Roi. It never mattered exactly what Tay did, or didn't do, as Ronyo was determined to make Tay out to be a villain. Morgan himself believed that he was, as a result, made out to be guilty by association, as he was ignored in his attempts to reverse the damage Ronyo was doing to Tay's reputation. As a result, Morgan grew to dislike his fellow housemate and actively made sure that Ronyo had a hard time. Morgan of course could not make the other boy's life easy.
POST GRADUATIONMorgan managed to graduate Hogwarts and went into hunting for a job. However, he still kept in touch with his friend, even when his friend apparently joined with a dark lord. Morgan stayed out of this one, feeling as though it was yet another case of someone trying to overreach their position and fail. Thus he was unsurprised when he found out that Lord Xilan disappeared without a trace, and Tay was again left moor-less. Although, not quite, if Morgan had heard right. He himself got into cursebreaking and went searching for possible employment opportunities.

■ CONFIDENTHeath has a confidence that is borne from arrogance. He has no delusions about his abilities, but also knows that what he is good at, he is good at. He rarely if ever shows any hint of doubt about himself or his abilities. ■ PRAGMATICWhile Heath is confident, he is also pragmatic. He takes a look at things through a logical viewpoint and tries to see where the fantasies end and where reality takes a step into the picture. Not necessarily pessimistic, he always looks at the facts and decides from there about any situation. ■ RECKLESSHeath might try to think logically through actions, however, it is hampered by his reckless side. He often decides to rush into situations without thinking them through fully, and more often than not get into trouble as a result. However, the end result is often worth it in Heath's mind, and therefore he doesn't try and curb this tendency. ■ ARROGANTHeath is very much like his Slytherin forebears in that he believes that he is above a lot of his peers. This arrogance is not just borne from a viewpoint that he's better than others, it also is borne of the fact that he is that good in some respects. As a result, he doesn't see where his flaws could be, although he knows he has them. He just figures they aren't that important. ■ REBELLIOUSHeath tends to act out a lot in ways that are different from what people expect him to do, or what people want him to do. He rarely listens to authority, often blowing them off as he does what he believes is right. This has often gotten him into conflicts with those that are in positions of power. ■ LONERAbove all, Heath prefers to keep to himself, often eschewing people to be by himself. He doesn't care for being surrounded by family or friends, and has few friends as a result. This has never bothered Heath in the least bit, as he prefers it that way.

CHILDHOODHeath was born the youngest son of Teresa Linwood and Theodore Armistead. He never knew his father, the man having left before he could make any lasting memories of him. However, he was raised primarily by his mother, and since his brother had been sent away to be raised by their grandparents, he was treated as an only child. He was a bit of a wild child, prone to act without thinking, and got in enough trouble that his mother considered sending him off to his grandparents. However, the youngest Linwood male was not, and thus only got to see his brother over holidays. The two had a mostly cordial relationship as a result, never being especially close, but certainly knowing each other.
SCHOOL YEARS When Heath entered school, it was another matter entirely. He was ignored for the most part, which suited him just fine. He went through school, being sorted into Slytherin, and mostly ignored the antics of his fellow yearmates. He didn't see any real reason to interact with the majority of them, and when he finally graduated, it was with a sigh of relief that he was done with all of the idiots that were in the school. The only real big thing he participated in was Duelling Club, something he found he enjoyed greatly, and therefore put a lot of time and effort into. He was one of the best duellers in the club, and while he wasn't someone that generally gave advice, he nonetheless stayed out of the way when other people were giving advice to younger years.
POST GRADUATIONGraduating, Heath went on to try and pursue a career in duelling, trying to become a professional in that sport. While he hasn't gained any inroads since, he however has improved his skills, and works constantly to get better all the time. He does happen to stay away from a lot of problems, considering other people's problems aren't his problems and he doesn't need to get involved with it.

xxxH I S T O R Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CHILDHOODContessa was born to Zakery Warren and Valerie Linwood. She grew up in a family with old money, and she's become rather cold and jaded due to it. Her parents didn't pay her much attention, so in effort to be noticed, Tess grew quite a temper to match a rather mean personality. She preformed her first act of magic at age five, as a temper tantrum made her lose control and break several heirlooms. After that, it was surefire that she'd be in Hogwarts, and she planned to follow her parents into the noble house of Slytherin.
SCHOOL YEARS For the most part, Contessa's school years started normally, and she did her best to make absolutely certain it stayed that way. Of course, in true Linwood fashion, the girl managed to get a kid to be her enemy, and unfortunately he sits with her at all her meals, even if she wanted to tell him to go away. Stupid heir-holding brat. She also met a white haired nerd and his weirdly dim crippled friend. She'll swear to anyone she hates her whole class. Second year, she and Rhys got in a heated argument, but she won. Of course she won, since she was a Linwood. After that, not a lot happened until her idiot cousin, Heath, informed her that Rhys, the pinnacle of her hatred... was actually another cousin. That knowledge prompted several more fights between herself and her cousins, coming to a head at a planned family dinner to "meet" Rhys. It was probably the worst night of her life. Could life possibly throw in any more surprises?! Tessa went about her schooling, really only talking to one kid, Kyson, the entire time. Most of her time, however, was dedicated to studying. After her OWLs, she decided she'd need to buckle down to pass her NEWT level classes. Toward the end of sixth year, she started to develop feelings for Kyson, and they had a secret snog in a closet before going off to summer break. Over seventh year, they decided to keep it going in secret, and managed to do a decent job of it. Over Christmas break, the pair left a particularly good snog to find Gideon Reid all whacked out, so they had to take him to the hospital, then tell his weirdo best friend and Rhys the tale. Stupid Reid, always ruining nice moments.
