Ryan being like that comes out of the blue because he’s the exact opposite of his family. While they were careful about blood purity and being involved, Ryan never liked that, he actually hated it because of what that stuff did to people: Turn them into something they’re not.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Ryan was born in August 21, 1995 to a muggle mother and a wizard father. His mother left his father when Ryan was 3 years old because his father decided to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts after Daisy, Ryan’s mother, argued tirelessly for him not to fight, especially because he was fighting against the Order.. She took Ryan with him. Unknown to Ryan’s maternal family, his father, James, died in the war. Ryan was raised as a muggle. He went to muggle Primary school until he got his Hogwarts letter in 2006. But months before that, what Daisy most feared occured: Ryan started to develop accidental magical performances. Ryan got his letter. He was excited and mad at the same time. Excited because WOW he’s a wizard! And mad because his mother knew and never told him! Before he left for Hogwarts, however, Daisy did finally tell Ryan about his magical background.
Hogwarts Years: Ryan attended Hogwarts. While on the train, he heard talking of Houses that you’re sorted into. Ryan honestly didn’t care where he was sorted he just found out about this a month ago. But as everyone is gossiping, it seems like Slytherin house’s got a bad reputation so Ryan hoped at least he wouldn’t be sorted into Slytherin. But he was. At first he was frightened, getting used to all this magical stuff and being sorted into a House that’s got a bad reputation. But he managed through it and he ended up loving his house. Ryan being a half-blood but feeling like a muggle-born, struggled in school and had to practice extra but the one thing he had a skill in was Flying. He instantly fell in love with the idea. He’s heard of witches in books that fly a broomstick at night in the moonlight but never to actually fly! He was in the Slytherin Quidditch Team from his 2nd year to Graduation. At least he made it through Hogwarts and he’s learned a lot from this new world.
Adulthood: After Hogwarts, Ryan’s mother tried to persuade him to live a normal life as a muggle to avoid what happened with Ryan’s father. The only thing pulling Ryan back was Quidditch. So he pursued the career as a professional Quidditch player for the British League. He was young, so he wasn’t regarded as such importance. He lasted eight years in the League until the age of 25 in 2020. Due to recent corruption in the Ministry of Magic and disregard for Quidditch due to everything that’s going on, Ryan retired the profession and returned to the muggle life to please his mother (although she did go to a few of his games and rooted him on). Upon hearing recently that a flying instructor professor opened up, he went for it.

RP SAMPLE: - Spoiler:
It's been a while since he's seen magic without regret. A lonely figure wanders about the streets of Hogsmeade, unsure of what he's looking for, but hoping to find whatever it may be. It's been a while since he's traversed the streets and looked up at the faces passing by. He's always stared down, watching the pavement or cobblestone under his feet. It's been a while since he's known where he's going; he still doesn't. Ryan Knoxx, an old newcomer to the wizarding world, traverses across the pocket of shops and inns, tucked away in a corner of England, unbeknownst to other Muggles. The sun is high in the sky and gleaming down on him, refraining from burning his pale face, but still warming him pleasantly. His hands are tucked in his pockets, and he looks with purpose at the path ahead of him, even though he has none. Perhaps some equally lonely soul will stumble across his way, but he maintains his doubts.
