Name : Caryxander (Carry-zander) Cary Mordushku
Gender : Male
Blood Status : Pureblood
Age / DOB : May 3rd
Current School Year : Incoming First year
House : Slytherin
Occupation : Student
Pet: Cary has a pet Owl named 'Gritten'. Its feathers are pearl white and speckled in black patterning, whilst its eyes are shrewd and almost black when viewed from a distance. It isn't necessarily an unfriendly bird, but it trusts Cary and Cary alone and usually will not allow others to touch it. This is an old Mordushku practice of bird-keeping that keeps Mordushku secrets safe when travelling by Owl.
Appearance : Cary is a relatively tall and slender young boy for his age, cresting at the delicate height of 5'1 at his tender age of 11. Topped with a cropped and well maintained head of brown hair, Cary is every bit the image of the Mordushku family, not only maintaining the typical brackish Brown hair of the family, but also the startlingly green eyes that have run through the blood of the Mordushku's since the Medieval period. His lips - which remain purplish/bluish most of the time, another Mordushku trait - are tightly pursed at all times, and are crested with a straight, sharp yet not unattractive nose. Below his lips sits a well formed chin that ends his nicely rounded face with a not-too-sharp point.
Cary always wears his Hogwarts uniform smartly.
Personality : Cary is brought up in the Mordushku family, and shares many of their closeted traits, and some others that do not reflect the values of the family. Whilst he - along with the rest of the Mordushku line - are anti-muggle and anti-muggleborn, as many of the old Wizarding houses are, Cary holds a very closeted, yet very venomous view towards those born of the non-Wizarding world. In contrast to this however, he has the utmost respect for others of Pure-blood, and thinks - though he keeps it to himself, like much of his inner musings - that Wizards with close relation to the Muggle world ought to be taught elsewhere, instead of at Grand Wizarding Establishments like Hogwarts.
Beyond this anti-Muggle view - that is rarely physically shown by its holder - Cary is also relatively manipulative, and likes to find himself a circle of people he can trust and confide within through friendship and competition. He is always trying to better himself, a trait that has been largely cultivated by his stern father Agron Mordushku, which has led him to a better understanding of magic than his fellow first years - a trait that has also led to him being called 'The Prodigy of the House', as he popularly duelled and bested a Second Year relative when they came to visit from Albania.
Beyond these traits relative to others, Cary is strong, both in will and strength of mind. If he wishes to accomplish a task, he will set to it and do nothing but strive to accomplish it, using any means necessary - be this to gain power, to gain prestige or for more distasteful means. There is an air of nobility to the young boy, and he protects those he cares about, but if someone can be used as a tool, he holds little qualm in doing so.
Joining his want for strength, Cary spends a lot of his time reading, attempting to always get ahead of his peers, as he knows that if he is stronger than them, then he can place himself at the top of the pecking order.
However, disregarding these personality features, much like most First Years his mind is like a wet chunk of clay, waiting to be moulded by teachers and the experiences Hogwarts is likely to bring.
Virtues/Strengths : Strong Magical Potential for a First Year; Cares for Friends; Can be incredibly manipulative, which plays into his advantage; Of a well known heritage; Intelligent; Attractive.
Flaws/Weaknesses : His utter disdain for muggleborn Wizards; His thirst for strength.
History : Born to the incredibly Old Albanian-English House of Mordushku - a House that can trace its lineage from today back to the Principality of Arbanon - Cary found a fit right away within the family as a quiet baby who reflected all of the physical values of House Mordushku that had remained in their family since its creation in Medieval Albania. He was a praised child, being the first son of the head of the house 'Agron Mordushku', and family came from all across the world to celebrate his birth and the immaculate nature that Cary already represented the House - Brackish Brown Hair and Green Eyes filled with a seeming wisdom beyond his years.
Growing up, Agron was quick to throw Cary into schooling. Once the boy could walk and talk, his father had him reading books on magic and spellcrafting whilst teaching him the basics of wand control, using dummy wands to avoid confrontation with the Ministry of Magic - who House Mordushku had had confrontation with before, after the Ministry had reason to believe the House aided some members of He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named's servants during the First and Second Wizarding War. Very quickly, Cary began to pick up on the teachings of his father, who was impressed at his sons perceived ability, hailing him as the 'Prodigy of the House' and inviting his distant Cousin 'Erion Mordushku' and his son - who was previously considered the 'Prodigy of the House' for his top-mark grades during his first year at Durmstrangs Institute - to duel for the position (though illegal, Erion and Agron watched as the two Wizards used magic underage to fight). Though Erion believed that his son would easily dispatch this non-student 'prodigy', the two were fairly well matched, and Cary ended the duel with a violent double flick of his wand, both turning Erion's son's legs to jelly and making him vomit up a mess of tadpoles, forcing the young Durmstrang Second Year to retire.
Claiming the position of 'Prodigy of the House' - his use of magic being covered up by both Erion and Agron, who stated that they themselves had a duel, as was custom in the family - Cary waited 2 months before his letter of invitation to both Durmstrang (sent due to his Albanian heritage) and Hogwarts arrived. Coming from a Slytherin-Legacy family, Cary chose Hogwarts, excited to don the green that his father and those before his father had, and to mingle with those who shared the same views as he. However, this was not to be.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Cary found himself pushed towards Slytherin, like his family before him, by the Sorting Hat, much to his mother and father's silent approval - as they were worried he would be sorted into Ravenclaw for his bookishness. Finding his feet within the Slytherin First Years with ease, Cary shares his parents relief at not being sorted into any of the other house, believing his ambition to be only fitting of the house Salazar Slytherin spawned.

Caryxander 'Cary' Mordushku - Slytherin 1st Year
- if we wait until after the welcome feast and stuff, perhaps the expedition could involve more of us also, as characters make friends and such?
I don't have any big ideas at the moment, but we can come up with something. Maybe start it off with Katrin finally making it back to the common rooms? (She got lost.... in another rp. 
)
