Physical Description: Rod stands at 6 foot 5 inches. He is quite tall, and muscular. Rod has long, brown hair, and green eyes. His hair isn't ever kept neatly, and he has big eyebrows.

Rod tends to wear his motorcycle jacket. His shirts are all solid colors. and he wears many pairs of jeans.

Personality Description: Rod is dependent on a leader. He is the youngest of six, and so, his opinion was always quieted. He doesn't mind, however. He likes to be a follower. Rod has always blended into the background. Rod is also a very quiet boy. He has very strong opinions, but doesn't tend to voice them.

When it comes to classes, Rod has the potential for great grades. If only he applied himself. He just doesn't care enough. Rod tries to slide through class. Pass, but not with flying colors.

On romance, he doesn't have much experience. Girls swoon over him when he's at home, but he doesn't swoon over them. They all like him for his abs, but he never puts enough effort into being a boyfriend. At home, he has quite the reputation as a "player". That he dates girls, is a bad boyfriend, then dumps them. Still, however, girls come chasing after him. They usually think that when he invites a girl over to watch a movie, that means they're going on a date. Rod, however, only sees this as hanging out.

Rod's friends are his entire life. That is where he puts his effort. He is never the leader in the friend group, but is the defender. He is very protective of his friends, or allies. He doesn't put much thought into what he does with his friends, and whether or not it is legal. It doesn't matter to him. Rod isn't one to speak up in the group, he stands in the back, and observes, then helps out when he's needed. He only seeks acceptance.

You're probably wondering, well, what does Rod actually care about? What is his hobby? Well, his hobby is lapidary, or the craft of working, forming and finishing stone, minerals and gemstones. He can sit somewhere for hours shaping a stone, smoothing it, and making it perfect. People usually associate this with jewelry making. He does not make jewelry regularly, because he fears that people will discover this hobby, and then judge him for it.

Usually, he takes these soft and shaped stones and gems and leaves them in public, hoping that someone would find them, and put them to good use. If one piece of work is really really good, he'll save it in a box, under his bed.

History: Rod was born on a cold December day. The 6th boy of the Timmis family, his mother and father were quite happy. They always believed that boys were superior to girls, and figured that boys would do better in the world opposed to females.

As he grew up, Rod was just a follower to Reid, his oldest brother. Reid lead his brothers constantly, and Rod learned at a young age just to follow, and shut up. His opinion wasn't important, and it wouldn't change the group's plan.

When Rod received his Hogwarts letter, he was indifferent. His parents were happy for him, but it didn't mean much to him. He didn't care about it. To him, it was just another stupid school where stupid people wanted to teach him more stupid stuff. And he didn't care. Rod never was excellent in school. He could have, if he applied himself.

 His older brothers were all at Hogwarts, except Hugh, the fourth in the birth order. Hugh was a squib. Because of this, his father's family disowned him in a sense, for William (the boys' father) was from a proud pureblooded family. When Rod's mother tried to sway William from disowning the boy, William dismissed her opinion for the sole reason that she was a woman.

This was the kind of house that Rod grew up in. He was in some ways, brainwashed to believe this as well. His family was made up entirely of sexists, so when he went to Hogwarts, he was shocked to see women learning alongside men. But, he kept these opinions quiet, as he had also learned growing up, to just keep his mouth shut.

Rod never really found a place to fit in. He never joined the quiddich team, even though he liked quidditch. He never found his favorite subject, or even really found a friend group he fit in with. Mostly, he stood by his brothers' sides, and kept his head down, spending any alone time in his smoothing and shaping rocks.
