- Hands-on projects, anything physical.
Dislikes (3+):
- Losing. At anything. Even the most mundane muggle board game.
- Personal insults, especially when directed toward family members or his muggle side.
Skills (3+):
- Knowledge of the muggle world.
- Takes to physical-oriented subjects rather quickly, such as Flying, or Defence Against the Dark Arts.
- Extroverted.
- Excitable.
Weaknesses (3+):
- Hot-tempered.
- Impulsive.
- He finds "boring" subjects more difficult to focus on, and he will sometimes not put as much effort into these, natural talent or no.
- Sensitive to his Muggle origins.

Background
Mother:
Margaret Lynton, 45, Accountant.
Father:
Anthony Lynton, 39, Engineer.
Siblings:
Emily Lynton, 24, Pre-medical student.
Country of Origin:
England; United Kingdom.
Heritage:
Muggle-born.
History:
Oliver Lynton was born on August 16th, as the second child of Anthony and Margaret Lynton. His elder sister Emily was quite normal, thank you, and her parents could not have been prouder. Their world would be rocked to its core after their son came into the world. Outwardly, he was a healthy and extroverted child, always in the thick of things as soon as he was able to walk. All that would change as he aged, much to his father's confusion and mother's shock. At his seventh birthday party, a boyhood prank on a rented clown would result in the clown's hair rapidly changing colors, seemingly out of the blue. Various transgressions that he swore up and down he had no control over would soon come to light on his eleventh birthday. Delivered by owl, as was long-standing tradition, even in the countless centuries that had passed since its inception. His invitation to Hogwarts was oddly not taken as a surprise by his parents.
"I always knew something was off about that boy." - Margaret Lynton
"That explains a lot." - Emily.
"Quite a lot, actually." - Anthony Lynton
Taking their son's "condition" in stride, the family bade him farewell on his first journey to Hogwarts, and accept, albeit with much confusion, their son's budding skills in magic.
