GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Owing to his years of playing Quidditch, both recreationally and competitively, Lachy has developed a rather muscular body type, and has managed to acquire several scars and a few deformities, most notably the way his right arm clicks when swung too far up.
He prefers to wear his hair short, but has grown it out a few times, out of either boredom or curiosity, and has been known to deface himself in the name of a good laugh.

PATRONUS: When his little sister was born (As young as he was at the time, he does remember it ((Only just though)))
DEMENTOR: Can I just point out that dementors do not always bring back worst fears? Harry potter remembered his parents dying because of extenuating circumstances, but not everyone remembered something bad happening when the dementors drew close. But if you really want a worst memory lets just say it was being attacked by an acromantula when he was 8. Happy?

MIRROR OF ERISED: To succeed in life, as broad as that may sound
PERSONALITY: Lachy is a fairly happy and carefree individual at the most basic of levels of his psychy, however many of his traits and qualities contradict his most normal disposition. Lachlan really likes things to be ordered, I suppose you'd call it an incredibly mild form of OCD, but I'm not calling it that, as illnesses are banned on this site. He is a bit of a larakin however, often ignoring his workloads to have fun with his friends. An incredibly proud boy, Lachy often gets into fights with other people who insult or contradict him, but he does know the difference between right and wrong, and will stand down, should accusations bear the truth. Lachlan is also incredibly loyal to all his friends, and is willing to fight to stand up for them, should someone be treating them unfairly.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years:
Unlike a lot of today's young magical children Lachlan and his family knew that he was magical from an incredibly young age, in fact when he was about 10 days old. His parents had been having dinner together, blissfully unaware of what their sun was doing until a loud thud came through the wall. Quickly rushing to his room they were amazed, but not quite surprised, to find Lachlan and his toys (And there were a lot of those at that age) floating around the room. So with the matter of magicality at ease, and with Lachlan's chances of having a fear of heights seemingly diminished he was then raised with magic in almost all parts of his life, learn to fly.. well, how to crash at age 1, and cooking potions (Behind his parents' back) by age 5.
When he was 5 years old his world was turned upside down by the birth of his little sister, an event which was met with much happiness by him, however soon he realised that baby's sucked, and that he could never have been that bad. Regardless, he still loved, and loves his sister owing to the strong bond they'd had since childhood.
Hogwarts Years:
Upon arriving in Hogwarts Lachy was incredibly nervous about house sorting, as all first years are, and had soon found himself in a nerve wracking predicament, when the sorting hat tried to decide whether Ravenclaw or Gryffindor was better for him. Still, at least he wasn't being considered for Hufflepuff. He'd rather been hoping for Gryffindor, Ravenclaws all seemed to be rather up themselves.
Luckily enough he was admitted to Gryffindor, and since then, other than the tumultuous state of being the school had experienced he had remained relatively on track in terms of marks and socialising. Now however his very way of life was at risk.

BEHIND THE CHARACTER
------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR NAME: Lachlan
RP EXPERIENCE: Fair amount but it's been awhile
HOW YOU FOUND US: Looking at an old site I used to administrate there was a "Similar topics" link sort of thing, which took me here.
How is Harry Potter related to halo?
OTHER CHARACTERS: None
PURPOSE OF CHARACTER: Joining the site?
RP SAMPLE: (I'll RP Lachlan's first time on the express)
The commotion of hundreds of people leaving to go to Hogwarts, or farewelling loved children as they left was overwhelming as Lachlan stepped onto Platform One and Three Quarters for the first time, his right arm gripped tightly by his mother as they emerged.
Owls hooted, cats meowed and toads croaked, but of course their noise was subdued by the crying children, and in more than a few cases the crying mothers, as the general population of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry assembled on the small, overcrowded platform.
As Lachy looked around he noted more than a few people pointing in his direction. Not at him of course, but at his mother. Being a world class chaser, even if that was over 20 years ago, still had its effects on the lives of Bethanie Moran and her family.
A few seconds after crossing the platform's threshold his sister and father joined them in Lachlan's farewell, his sister crying and his parents proudly looking at him as they realised that finally they were receiving months on end of one less child filling their day to day lives.
Oh crap. He wasn't going to be around to fill their day to day lives.
Oh crap, he was going to be gone for months on end.
"Don't let me go," he said quickly, grabbing his mother and staring at her wide-eyed with fear as he considered the thought of letting go everything he'd experienced for the past 11 years.
Unfortunately his parents had other ideas, and he was wedged away from his mother by the gentle but firm hands of his father, which proceeded to shepherd him onto the train.
"Write to us," said Dylan, his voice being drowned out by the train's whistle as it signaled its departure, this was the moment he'd been fearing the most.
"We'll send you sweets, you wont even know we're gone," shouted his mother, who quickly looked down as his sister burst into tears at the thought of being left behind.
"You better make it into Gryffindor," added his father as the train began to finally pull out of the station.
