DESCRIPTION: Weighing it at 165 lbs and standing a grand total of 5’-9” tall, this brown eyed charmer is fairly average by most people’s standards. He sports a fairly athletic build and is considered to be quite fit and agile. His black, wavy hair is kept reasonably short and well trimmed. He has no visible scars or markings except for the few that he has gained while experimenting with various spells.
Dresden is well known for his happy go lucky nature. He is very personable and enjoys being around the students of Hogwarts as well as most of his colleagues. If someone was asked to describe Dresden they would most likely say he was like a giant kid himself. He has endless bounds of energy and can be found refereeing Quidditch matches, playing chess with the students or plain old chatting it up with anyone who could hold a reasonably intelligent conversation. He does have a rather no nonsense side that he tends to keep hidden unless he is teaching. Inside the classroom his personality shifts to something more serious. Dark Arts is a tricky subject that he lives and breathes and as it is inherently dangerous, accidents are bound to happen. He will however do everything in his power to minimize potential disasters due to student naivety. He is extremely strict and can't be bothered to put up with house rivalry and horseplay, demanding nothing but the best from his students.

TRAITS:
.Smarts. This former Ravenclaw lives up to his houses reputation and then some. Academics have always come easy to the professor and when you combine that with his natural inquisitiveness, it’s no surprise he became an active researcher and eventually a professor. His smarts however aren’t just limited to books and the arcane. He has good common sense and knowledge of how the world works and it shows in his normal day to day activities.
.Dark Arts. Dueling, casting, researching. And he is more than good at all three. Dresden lives and breathes Dark Arts and his knowledge of them is top notch, which is not surprising considering he teaches them. He sees them as being no different than any other spell out there and feels that any witch or wizard worth their salt would add them to their repertoire, and doesn’t understand why people are so afraid of them.
.Traveler. Dres always has been and always will be a traveler. The great wide world is just too big to leave unexplored and ever since he graduated he’s been traveling place to place in his search for Dark Arts. It also didn’t hurt that it got him away from his parents and gave him a good taste of freedom. Ever since then he’s found it hard to stay in one place for more than a year.
.Stubborn. The man has a nasty stubborn streak that could rival a hippogriffs on some occasions. Once he’s set his mind on something you’ll have a hard time getting him to change it especially if it’s something he is positive he is right about.
.Caring. As scary as most people think someone who makes a living out of studying dark arts is, Dres is probably more caring than most. He’ll go out of his way to turn a frown upside down and brighten the mood. His childish antics help him relate to his students and give people a good laugh, even if it makes him look like an idiot. He always has a frog or two stashed on his person to give to whoever is looking low.HISTORY:
Dresden Edric Faust was born on one windy fall day in September, to the happy parent’s of one of Britain’s more well know pureblood families. The Faust’s embodied everything a pure blood family should; blood status, political standing and money. He was taught the proper aristocratic behaviors and expectations of his rank and enjoyed all the fruits of being a pure blood and the Faust family’s only heir. As such, Dresden was brought to various social functions and was proudly shown to the aristocratic society by his father and mother. His childhood was for the most part happy and fairly uneventful.
His school years were nothing spectacular; he was sorted into Ravenclaw in his first year and made quite a few friends within his house. Things progressed smoothly and unremarkable for the next few years and he started hanging out with some of the younger Ravenclaws, finding his own year to be rather boring, though on occasion the younger group ticked him off with all the Quidditch talk. In fifth after a bunch of pestering from his year mates and a few of the younger ones, one Gideon Conleth in particular, Dres joined up with the house Quidditch team where he excelled as a chaser.
It wasn’t until his 6th year, with troubles stemming from home and the pressure of living up to his parents expectations that he began to crack, falling in and making 'friends' with some of the more unsavory 7th years as a way to rebel and things started to go downhill fast after that. Classes had all but become boring and less challenging for his sharp mind and he slipped into somewhat of a depression. Dres quickly found himself skipping more and more in favor of hanging with his new found friends. It didn't take long for grades to reflect that and about half way through the year, Dresden had stopped attending classes all together opting to spend more time in Hogsmeade and the surrounding villages. It was there that he got hooked on the muggle drug scene.
Dres became a frequent user of Heroin and suffered all the side effects of the addiction, rampant mood swings, cold sweats, theft to afford the drug. He picked fights with almost anyone who looked at him and his blatant disregard for authority wasn’t missed by the professors. When he wasn’t skipping classes or out off the school grounds he was in detention and eventually pulled from the Quidditch team. Things continued to worsen up until Christmas break when he was sent home, where he remained distant with his parents. It wasn't until he was found in his room by his father, suffering from an O.D. that he realized how far he had fallen. The sobering thought that he'd be dead currently if his father hadn't found him scared him more then he'd like to admit. His parents, worried for both their son and the family image decided to remove Dresden from Hogwarts right then and there, and began working with the young man to beat his addiction.
It took the better part of the year but Dresden had finally beaten his addiction and was re-enrolled in 6th year at Hogwarts. He made sure to keep to his studies and became rather withdrawn. It was then that his friendship with Gideon seemed to take off. At first Dres was sure Gideon was playing the sympathy card, feeling bad that Dres had no one his age around due to them having all graduated last year. But as time went on to show, that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. His friend was more than patient with him and eventually pulled him out of his funk. Little did Hogwarts know that this would lead to a new troublesome duo. Eventually, and with more than a bit of coaxing from Gideon, Dresden re-joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team as chaser and captain (6th year before giving it to Gideon in 7th) and hasn’t looked back since. He finished 6th year with honors and progressed through 7th year, graduating with outstanding on most of his NEWTS as well as an award for the highest mark in his year in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
After graduating he decided to travel abroad and learn more about the offensive side to DADA and eventually the Dark Arts themselves. He had always been of the mind that if you don't understand how the Dark Arts work how could you properly defend against them? His travels took him all over the globe; America, Germany, Japan, Australia, Romania and even a small stint at Drumstrang to name a few, eventually leading to him being touted as one of the greatest DA researches/practitioners to date. Dresden continued to travel for 8 years before returning to Lancaster to visit his family whom he'd only spoken to via letter the past few years.
He was filled in on all the happenings of late, including what happened with the takeover. Dresden had then done a little research on his own and learned the Trevor Williams and the Death Eaters were now in control. Dresden approved of purebloods being the top dogs but he was not exactly a fan of how it all came about and he hated the idea of slavery. It was during his stay his father pushed him consider taking the open DA position at Hogwarts, stating that it was “time he quit gallivanting around and live up to his family name.” Not only would it be good for him but it would keep the Faust family in the loop as only the trusted were able to teach.
His first year went as smooth as could be expected, his two years at Drumstrang(an apprenticeship turned internship turned professorship)proved to be invaluable. The looks and skittish behavior when people were around him annoyed him for a bit though he couldn’t fault anyone for it. Dark Arts practitioners did have a rather nasty reputation and of course, this was the first time Hogwarts was offering the class. Things flew by and the year was over before he knew it. Over the summer he traveled back to Germany for a few months, returning about three weeks before the start of the new school year. It was then that he met with one Berenice Pangbourn outside of Honeydukes as her kid chased pigeons in the park. Little did they both know that encounter would be the start of something more.
