"I LEARNED TO LIVE HALF ALIVE,
AND NOW YOU WANT ME ONE MORE TIME,
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
Mr. Dominic Ovid Tonks; Ravenclaw student, fifth year, and a neutral party. He's fifteen years old and is unaware of the fact that he's a reincarnation. He actually believes that he's Dominic, a descendant of Ted Tonks. But, that's merely because he doesn't remember who he truly is-- thanks to the Paper Angels.
The story he believes - and tells everyone - is rather interesting. Well, not really. Considering it's extremely false and if anyone knew any better, they would be able to see the lies. You see, Dominic believes that he's a distant relative of Ted Tonks. Specifically, that Ted's uncle's great grandson is Dominic's father. No one questions it, because it's entirely possible that Ted's uncle has a great-great grandson. Therefore, the story "works." Even though his memories are vague, he trusts in his "past." His father Nathaniel and his mother Janine. The questionable part, however, is the fact that Dominic is a werewolf. Genetically, werewolves don't run in his family. He has no recollection of it. But, he's discovering what happens when the full moon appears.
Anyhow. He's the reincarnation of Remus John Lupin; a known werewolf, Marauder, member of the Order of the Phoenix, and ex-D.A.D.A. professor at Hogwarts. He had been killed by Antonin Dolohov during the Battle of Hogwarts back in 1998. And then, in 2023, he was reincarnated -- coming back as Dominic Tonks by the Paper Angels. They had brought back the original Marauders - even accidentally including Peter Pettigrew. However, Dom is unaware of all of these things- the memories of his previous life being locked away in his mind. So, he's been going along in his "happy-go-lucky" life.
He's a lot like how Remus had been; Dominic is calm, tolerant, caring, intelligent, loyal, and so on. But - there are things about him that aren't like Remus at all. He's a bit more sarcastic, judgmental, and pessimistic. Of course, he refuses to bully others and is one of the nicest guys around. Dom is the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. And, he's always willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Whenever it comes to people being pushed around or made fun of, he tends to stick up for the underdog. Remus didn't partake in the activities at all, but Dominic actually puts forth his opinion- stating clearly that he doesn't think anyone should be cruel to another.
He still fears the full moon, because it's difficult for a lot of people to accept a werewolf. To be honest, Dominic doesn't remember how he even became a werewolf - whether he was bitten or if it's genetic. He doesn't even recall his parents mentioning it. Of course, he's sent letters home asking, but there hasn't been any reply. It worries him, but he tries his best. There aren't many werewolves that he knows of to talk to. (Perhaps, he should start a Werewolf Support Group?) And is having difficulties coping with the transformations without anyone finding out. It scares the hell out of him, because of how they aren't always accepted with certain people. And, it's not like he can control it, so those around him are always in danger. Which makes it worse, because he hates hurting people, especially if he were in were form.
He believes in people and in their safety. And he's able to treat everyone equally - even when they're complete pricks. But, everyone does have their own moments of short tempers. His are simply rare and are scary to see.. or so he's been told. Moving onward; he has chestnut brown hair and blue eyes. It's easy to tell that he has a thin body structure, but he's very well built due to his abilities of strength. This, he offsets by wearing long-sleeved shirts and covering as much skin as possible, because he doesn't wish to cause attention to his build. Dominic would much rather to fit in than to stand out even more so. But, he accepts himself - despite all of the hardships. Without accepting himself, he wouldn't be able to be honest toward others. And honesty is a key trait that he prides himself in having.
Anyway - - - he's living life as a Tonks. And who knows when and if he'll recover his personal memories. Maybe he's not destined to, or perhaps he is. Either way - he's a normal guy. Just like everyone else. With a vague past and missing encounters. He tell something's wrong, but he's not quite sure of what it could be. Therefore, he lives each day as it comes, trying to avoid the full moon as much as possible.
