► Magical info

Blood Status: Half blood

Education: Hogwarts Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw

Wand: Holly wood with a phoenix feather core, 14 1/2 and reasonably supple flexibility

Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest. Holly is one of those woods that varies most dramatically in performance depending on the wand core Patronus: Russian blue cat (it was his mother’s patronous as well as his)

The Russian Blue is known as a royal cat. Regal in form and frame, they love attention and actively seek it out. They love their humans, often doing small acts of kindness to cheer you up such as patting your face or clowning about to entice a laugh. If any Patronus will chase away a Dementor by staring disdainfully at it, this is the Patronus! *authors note: the patronous is the opposite of him in so many ways that perhaps it will protect him well from evil* Patronus Memory: Spending time with The Five Club, Judy laughing, sometimes moments with Vanya but he hates when that happens. Boggart: When he's younger it’s the first spirit he ever saw but after witnessing the horrors of the dark world he sees the entity of it killing his brother, sometimes he sees Vanya cursing him. Specialized/Favourite Spells: Expelliarmus Favourite subject in school: History of Magic, Latin, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Alchemy, Arithmancy, Study of Ancient Runes

Special abilities: seeing spirits, has a connection to darkness that can't properly control

► Family Father: Aeneas Killingbeck Relationship to them: Brooke's father had the family lines connection to death but he wasn't sensitive for the abilities that came with it. He has a brother who he was not close with. Aeneas died during The Second Wizarding War. *authors note: i used yardley's middle name for him to honour of him* Mother: Amie Orrell Relationship to them: Brooke's mother was a muggleborn witch. Death Eaters killed her and her husband over her blood status. He has fond memories of the times with his parents though he doesn’t remember them as well as his brother. Grandparents: Riley & Piper Orrell Relationship to them: Brooke was raised by his muggle grandparents who lived on a small farm in plaah. Brooke was always close to both of them and could count on them for advice on many things. Neither of them understood his abilities and thought he was making them up and for the longest time Brooke thought he just had a big imagination. His grandfather died when he was 13 and the rest of The Five Club attended his funeral to support Brooke. Brooke wears Riley's old coat.

Brother: Hale Demetrius Killingbeck (b. 1984) Faceclaim: Manu Rios

Relationship with him:

Hale is Brooke’s older brother. The two have a troubled relationship. While they attended Hogwarts Hale was very popular and the captain of the Slytherin quidditch team.

After their grandfather passed Hale felt responsible to take care of his little brother and grandmother and he took a more fatherly role which annoyed Brooke. Hale always had strong opinions on how Brooke should behave and who he should spend time with disapproving his relationship to Vanya Kavinsky and thinking that he's troubled. Brooke was more sensitive to the Killingbeck abilities while Hale tried to ignore his own connection to the dark. He lied to Brooke about his own experiences making Brooke think he was the only one who had them. Eventually the two came by Demetrius Killingbeck's old writings and found out the truth of their abilities. During Brooke’s sixth year at Hogwarts Hale got a job as the assistant of Sasha Kavinsky to Brooke’s great displeasure. He eventually became involved in the five clubs adventures to the other world. During Brooke’s seventh year he saved The Five Club by staying behind in The Dark Realm. Brooke believed him to be dead for a long time and felt guilty over his fate. When Brooke was 28, The Five Club returned to The Other World and Hale was found not having aged a day while being stuck in there. He returned back home with Brooke struggling to cope with his new life. Ancestors: Demetrius and Yardley Killingbeck @cursebreakerfarrier Faceclaims: Noah Saavedra & Barton Cowperthwaite

The Killingbeck brothers were the sons of Julian and Danica Killingbeck. They experimented with alchemy as young men and caused the death of their sister in the process. Demetrius got connected to the darkness and death while Yardley was connected to the light. Demetrius later sacrificed his own life to save his brother but accidentally offended death enough to cause a sort of curse on his family line. His family members always had at least two sons and the other son was destined to die, may it be as a baby or later in life. Many of his family members were also haunted by death and had special abilities.

► Love interests

Vanya Kavinsky @gaygryffindorgal Face claim: Felix Sandman

Relationship with him: Brooke and Vanya were both sorted into Ravenclaw and there was a great chance on them becoming friends during the first months. However when Brooke started getting close to the other Five Club members Vanya grew jealous and the two became rivals. Later on, when Brooke was having trouble with his friends the two grew closer again and started to hook up occasionally. Brooke didn’t want to admit to his feelings and Vanya was always unpredictable. Later on Vanya betrayed him because of his fathers plots and schemes and hurt Brooke in the process causing him the scar on his right cheek.

Judy Bones @gaygryffindorgal Face claim: Violet Brinson

Relationship with her: Brooke got to know Judy as Jesper’s girlfriend. During the sixth year the two became friends on their own which led the other members of The Five Club to think that the two were involved with each other in secret. This caused a rift between the friends. Later on during their seventh year after Judy and Jesper had broken up the two started to grow closer again and developed feelings for each other. 5 years from graduation (and Vanya’s betrayal) the two started to officially date.

Person character most hates: eventually Vanya but he also loves him.

Best friend(s): The Five Club

The boys of the Five Club met on the first day of school and became inseparable as time went on. They’re called the Five Club because everyone at Hogwarts knows how close-knit their friend group is.

Darby Rosen @gaygryffindorgal Faceclaim: Kelvin Harrison Jr.

Relationship with him: Out of his friends, Brooke is the closest to Darby. Brooke always felt the most comfortable around him and he's the one who Brooke speaks most out of everyone in his life. Darby is also the first one to learn about his secret. When Darby gets affected by The Entity during their seventh year, Brooke feels strongly about finding the fix for it and saving him.

Harker Hartford Faceclaim: William Franklyn Miller

Relationship to them:

Brooke and Harker get along well though they don’t spend that much time just the two of them. They’re both creative and have feelings they’d like to hide from everyone else. Harker's close relationship to Jesper sometimes comes between the two as Brooke feels like Harker would always choose Jesper's side, even when he’s wrong. The two get to spend more time just the two of them during their seventh year when Harker is keeping his distance from Jesper.

Jude Castellan Faceclaim: Andre Dae Kim

Relationship to them: Jude is the joker of the group and manages to get Brooke laugh if he wants to. Jude has a tendency to jump into conclusions and not thinking before saying things while Brooke is the opposite. They manage to get into a lot of misunderstanding but over all are close. They both have a close relationship with a Kavinsky family member.

Jesper Greenaway @gaygryffindorgal Faceclaim: Sebastian Croft

Relationship to them:

Jesper and his family are the whole reason why The Five Club gets involved with The Other World. Brooke and Jesper are both interested about the place and finding out more about it. In the friend group they have the most difficult relationship. They have their issues with the Judy situation and also come from very different backgrounds. Their personalities don’t really match either which causes them to often argue and disagree on things.

Other friends: Judy Bones, Olga Kavinsky @gaygryffindorgal
