RYKER ROMLEY BENNETT
twenty nine, former Slytherin, con artist, thief, former Azkaban resident, Death Eater


and it starts sometime around midnight
or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two

ENEMIESRyker is very good at making enemies, mostly because he on occasion decides to manipulate the wrong sort of people. More than once, revenge has been sought against him. He has a tendency to steal things a lot, which also ignites a sense of distrust and dislike against him. Ryker also happens to get into a lot of fights, the majority of the time it is over something legitimate yet the other ten percent of the time it could be something stupid - potentially some situation that he had no business being involved with in the first place.

FRIENDSFew and far between, he has many acquiantances but few close friends. Normally the only friendships he desires to forge are those that he can benefit from somehow - under these circumstances he has many friends. Ryker knows a lot of people having traveled so much he has gained something of a very social disposition when it comes to talking to strangers - yet not all of these people like him let alone consider him their friend. He probably has maybe one or two left over from his Hogwarts days, but I can't imagine that they would write much considering his homeless status half the time.

and that white dress she's wearing you haven't seen her for a while

LOVELIFEThere have been many "past" girlfriends and only a handful of serious ones. Many of his past relationships ended bitterly, yet there were a few that ended on good terms. Relationships have never really taken up much of his time or effort, so despite the myriad amount he rarely considers them serious. He treats women very well, despite his arrogant nature he respects them but he is not beneath trying to steal money from them on the street unfortunately. Ryker was at one point in love with three different women at different points in his life, the first of which he met at Hogwarts so many years before and then the second one he met in Belgium. The third was the one that got away.
