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

[attr="class","ajbdbsb"]
Lyre has a tendency to be a bit on the anxious side, and is somewhere between introvert and extrovert. He doesn't avidly seek people out, but he doesn't avoid them like the plague either. He prefers small groups of people whether he knows them or not to large groups of people even if he does know all of them. He doesn't have a particularly long fuse, but for the most part he can walk away to blow off steam rather than getting terribly confrontational about it. He prefers to avoid confrontation if he can. He has a tendency to wave his arms all over the place if he's having a conversation about something he's interested in. There is also the fact that he is extremely clumsy, something about him is just off balance all the time so it isn't unusual for him to fall up the stairs or off a balcony if he isn't paying enough attention.

[attr="class","ajbdbsb"]

Lyre was an only child born in south Florida January 7, 1912. The only really eventful thing in his early childhood was that he was a remarkably clumsy child and walked into literally everything there was to walk in and showed his first sign of magic after falling down the stairs. Said sign of magic was just him floating about afterwords and he needed help getting back down. He got an acceptance letter to Ilvermorny a few years later and soon enough he was shipped off to the school to learn magic. He was sorted into Horned Serpent and set about completing his schooling without much incident other than him falling over all the time.

Once he graduated, things got complicated. His parents arranged him a marriage, and he went to work at the MASUSA as an Obliviator. He and his new wife got along okay, and after a few years of getting to know one another they had a son. Within a year of him being born Lyre ended up getting jumped and turned into a vampire in an alley. He woke up and stumbled his way into a hospital a number of hours later very confused before being informed what had actually happened to him and why he now had fangs. He of course arrived home, very late, to a very angry wife who then proceeded to immediately kick him out and tell him to never come back. Lyre just signed the divorce papers as he didn't really love her anyway and none of his family was going to stick up for him in this situation so he had no way of fighting back.

He quit his job and decided to pursue a muggle degree in physics instead to keep his mind off the actual train wreck his life had just become over night. He got his phD and thought about pursuing teaching as a muggle professor, but decided instead he'd spent enough time without magic and went back to the ministry and his old Obliviator job as he missed it and the magical world. Besides, he had enough control over his vampire side now that he could hide it at work outside the lack of aging, but well nobody seemed to stay in one place too long at MACUSA, and he really wasn't worried about it. His bosses probably knew what he was anyway, or at least someone did that decided he should be rehired so he figured it was fine.

He tried a few times to reach out and explain to his son what had happened, but none of his owls were ever returned so he decided to reach out to his granddaughter instead. She at least replied to his messages, though not often. His ex-wife did show up at least once to threaten him for contacting her though, that was horrifying enough that he decided to not write to his relatives again. So he sort of just resigned himself to never having contact with them again until said granddaughter showed up on his doorstep with a baby. He was, understandably, quite confused, but did agree to take care of his great granddaughter as apparently his granddaughter had made some decisions she regretted and didn't want to deal with his ex-wife's or his son's wrath for it. He understood the feeling, and well at least he got to be in contact with some of his family. The girl was named Haddie and he's looked after her since, never telling the rest of the family about her existence. Though, he's always been at least a little disappointed her mother never came back to at least check up on her.

After working at the MACUSA longer than a number of the employees had been alive he was promoted to Head Obliviator in 2013. He's spent the last four years trying his best to not be a disaster of a department lead.
