[attr="class","ajbdbst"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","ajbdbsb"]

Ion is first and foremost not someone who is easily approached. He didn't deal with other children much when he was younger, as they were of no interest to him, and so it takes him some time to even think about warming up to people now because of it. He's always suspicious of why a person is nice to him or just generally what they want with him to begin with. He's not particularly trusting, and so even when he does finally warm up to you don't expect him to share much about himself. It's easier to just discover things about him by existing in the same sort of space as him rather than by simply asking him as he doesn't like sharing details. Some take this to mean that he's simply quiet, but that isn't the case. He just simply doesn't know what to say to people unless it's in regards to proposing a competition or because he's confronting them about something. He can be very confrontational at times, and sometimes comes off as a bit intimidating because of it. That being said, the easiest way to get him to warm up to you is to present him with a challenge or some sort of competition. He prefers people he can compete with over people who simply seem to want to be nice friends with him as that confuses him.

Once he does manage to warm up to someone he has a tendency to attach himself to them. He gets super clingy as soon as he's decided he likes a person and not only is he clingy but he becomes more than a little possessive over them. He doesn't care what it is he does with this person it could just be him sleeping on them, but when it comes to people he decides he likes he wishes to spend all his available time with them.

As a night owl who habitually gets up early, he's regularly pretty tired. He both talks and walks in his sleep, and so he's not usually particularly coherent for several hours after literally rolling out of bed. He hates mornings and tends to have a somewhat short temper during them. It's best to just leave him be until he's at least attempted some form of caffeine or starts a conversation first. As otherwise you're likely to get glared at in a somewhat menacing fashion. Ion has very little patience for people normally let alone in the morning, and so it's better to just leave him to either fall back asleep or try and wake himself up quietly. He regularly takes naps in the afternoon and then does his homework in the dark after lights out.

The last bit that is of note about his personality is that he is incredibly vindictive, if he's been wronged then expect there to be payback. It may not be soon, but eventually he will repay whatever wrong was done to him. He can hold a grudge for a very long time though he prefers to get it out of the way sooner rather than later. This is especially the case with people he has actually warmed up to, people he generally dislikes though he's willing to hold onto the grudge for months or years if he needs to in order to aptly prepare for whatever he's doing in return.

[attr="class","ajbdbst"]HISTORY

[attr="class","ajbdbsb"]

Dzmitry Zakharov was the dark arts professor at Durmstrang up until he managed to get one of his students who needed a good grade pregnant. Her name was Elena Arlovskaya and she was sixteen at the time. This, made things extra complicated. Fortunately she came to him first and he was able to assist her in hiding this particular problem during the school year. Once the child was born he agreed to keep the boy and leave the school under the guise of having a son to raise. He obliviated Elena and simply said that he had a fleeting girlfriend who passed away during childbirth so that nobody would find out what had actually happened. The boy was named Ion, and was mostly placed in the care of his maids, as he was a busy man with other exploits, to be raised as an upstanding pureblood wizard boy.

Unfortunately for Dzmitry he had an extraordinarily difficult son. His interests were fleeting at best and he quickly grew bored of studies and instead turned to more destructive interests in favor of them to keep himself entertained. More than once the maids could swear they had turned their back for only a moment to find that he was gone and attempting to tunnel under the neighbor's fence or lighting the lawn on fire with a magnifying glass when they found him. As a toddler there wasn't a whole lot they could do to stop him. They tried to get him into a few easy things just to occupy him, things like swimming, piano lessons, tumbling, some muggle sports though sports didn't last long as his father disapproved of all things muggle.

As he got older they were able to occupy him a little better with puzzles that got increasingly more complex, though he frequently managed to finish them before they expected and so they would have to stop him from setting the lawn on fire and instead find things that would occupy him better. They tried to teach him to cook numerous times despite his father's protest that 'it was for girls' and he set the kitchen on fire no less than six times before managing to successfully bake a pie. He was so proud of himself that he went to show his father. When the man instead yelled at him claiming that baking was for girls and that he wasn't raising a girl Ion decided to take the pie he made and just shove it in the man's face. Yes, he got smacked for that, but he will always claim that it was worth it to see the look of absolute shock on his father's face.

Due to his fleeting interests the maids were always scrambling to figure out something for him to do, which is how he ended up learning how to crochet, knit, sew, pick locks without magic, build igloos, solve Rubix cubes, and create origami. Things that were challenging to him were more likely to keep his interest, and so they learned to present things as a challenge rather than simply handing him a puzzle and telling him to occupy himself the way his father wanted them to. It was obvious that wouldn't work, and so they had to keep him actively occupied so that he didn't end up destroying everything he could get his hands on.

Soon enough the time came for him to get his school letter and it was decided that he would be going off to Durmstrang. Then it was time for him to get his wand and he was off to the shop to get one. When he was initially handed a walnut one he managed to light his father's trousers on fire with a swish. This wand was instantly deemed not correct and he was handed a Fir wand with unicorn heartstring instead that seemed to accept him as it's owner. He picked up the rest of his supplies and tossed them in his trunk rather uninterested in the new books. Reading had never been something he enjoyed, and school books were even lower on his reading enjoyment list so he occupied himself with his usual interests while waiting for the school year to start instead.

His first year was off to a rough start as he was a night owl who had to be in bed by eight and up at seven. By the end of the year though he'd learned to be habitually up by seven and basically do the morning exercises in his sleep to the point that when he got home he would continue to do them through the summer.

Initially when he got home though he got quite a surprise as it turned out his father got married and he now had a step-sister and a step-mother. His first reaction was of course to ask if his father knew how to send an owl or if that was something they didn't teach him in school. For which, as with every other time he talked back, he got smacked. He was of course, like with everyone else he met, wary of his step-sister initially and he sort of ended up running away from or glaring at her. Of course, with having a new sister and moving to England it meant he was going to a new school now too and had to actually get better at English. He was sorted into Slytherin for his second year of school.

As school continued he made a few friends here and there along with some enemies same as anyone. He also met his now boyfriend Asher, who is, of course, his favorite person. His school years were honestly pretty uneventful until he was around sixteen and finally actually thought to ask his mother's name. It had really never occurred to him to ask for some reason, but he was somewhat curious as to what she was like and why his father had never mentioned her at all. It just struck him as odd, and so he got her name and realized that there was a girl a few years younger than him that had his mother's last name. He's been meaning to get in touch with her, but that requires a lot of effort and now that he's graduated he's not sure how. Currently he's living with his boyfriend and just sort of waiting until he's old enough to be a charms professor at one of the schools. He doesn't care which, just so long as he knows the language already.
