History
On the night of Halloween the clouds pelted the ground below with drops of water. On this night a heir was born and the world would never know of him. Left for death in a muggle ally the newborn boy was tossed aside unwanted by his own mother, but there is more to this story than an unwanted child and an unready mother. This story begins with his parents, it begins with who they are and what they represent.
The boy’s mother was a nobody. Her name was unknown to most in the world, both magical and muggle. She was a witch indeed, a pure-blood at that, the boy’s father wouldn’t have had it any other way. Oh yes, back to her name... Well to be quite honest her name doesn’t matter, like I mentioned before, she was a nobody. She was a lovely woman though, long dark hair which was held in perfect curls. Emerald green eyes and a fair complection that matched perfectly. Not one freckled dared to show up across her flawless skin. The boy’s mother was and always will be an innocent girl who’s life was turned backwards by one man. The boy’s father is the opposite of his mother.
The man was well known, but for all the wrong reasons. As a young lad he was quite handsome; dark hair, strong build, chiseled face, inviting smirk. He was a man any young girl found hard to look away from. His appearance now would frighten even the strongest wizard. This man was only interested in power. Many do not wish to speak this man’s name, but is best that you know who he is. Before he became what he is today he was known as Tom Riddle, best known now as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Seventeen years ago this man and the woman mentioned above spent one night together, the outcome was an unwanted child.
Emmet Cyril was the name given to the child by a woman who found his a day later. The only thing the boy had with him when found was a tattered blanket wrapped tightly around his body and a silver chain which played host for a black snake tooth around his neck. Engraved in silver was a name, ‘Riddle’. Emmet Cyril Riddle was discovered and taken in by a muggle family.
Emmet grew to have a normal childhood. He was never blessed by any brother’s or sister’s, he stayed an only child. His new parents Jeremiah and Shaun Behm never thought on him as any thing but average. He developed at the same rate as other child, showed the same interests, and even played with other children. When Emmet was eight things were beginning to change. Emmet no longer showed interest in the other children, school no longer phased him. He would spend his days in his room with a stick. His imagination would take him to worlds only few knew of.
At age ten his adoptive parents discovered Emmet Cyril was not the average boy they thought he was. A letter of acceptance from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry proved that Emmet was different, a wizard in fact.
The image of the Great Hall and the other students will forever stay in his mind’s eye. Emmet’s favorite memory was when he first walked into the Great Hall for his classes sorting. The curious boy was called up to the front of the hall and was ordered to take a seat. All time seemed to stand still as the old hat was placed about his head.
‘Ah! Now aren’t you special? His only kin I believe, yes, great things will come from you. There is only one place to put the child of the Lord, but I do sense fear, perhaps you may not live up to his name. Ravenclaw!’
As the years went on the sorting hat’s words stayed with Emmet. ‘His only kin I believe...’ So his father was known, but that old hat failed to give a name. Emmet had some studying to do of his own. During his sixth year at Hogwarts Emmet had managed to find a book about well known wizards of this time. Wizards that were famous for many different reasons, wizards that were still known to be alive. It was here that Emmet learned about his father, from the help of another student. The student notice a resemblance in an old year book. Emmet was the splitting image of his old man, Tom Riddle.
Now his seventh and final year has come and something unexpected happened. Lord Voldemort has returned... to Hogwarts. Emmet clearly remember looking up at the Headmistress’s seat expecting to see a young woman, but in her place a familiar face struck fear into all the souls in the hall. Emmet felt no fear, instead he felt hatred. He wanted revenge for the disaster of a life his father had blessed him with, but just how was a seventeen year old going to harm a man whom has killed thousands. This year was sure to be an eye opener, and perhaps Emmet will learn the significance of the snake tooth around his neck, an object Voldemort has been searching for some time now.
Appearance
‘I do say, he is a splitting image.’
That saying would be following Emmet about if people knew of his relationship to the Dark Lord. Only one person besides him self knows of his biological father, and that saying only escapes from their lips. Emmet’s dark hair is truly a trademark of his father if you where to compare photographs of the two in their seventh year.
Emmet stands just past the six foot mark, average height for a boy his age. The dark hair atop Emmet's head is a trademark of his father's, along with his dark hazel eyes. The curl in his hair seems to be the only thing that didn't come from his father, perhaps it's the one trait he had received from his mother.
Emmet is secretly proud about his background. He considers him self unique compared to all the other students. deep down he knows that he should feel disgusted that he's related to such a man as Voldemort, but he can't help but crave the power his father has. He would have used the power differently of course, but the craving for such a gift makes Emmet more like his father that he wishes to be.
Emmet enjoys dressing sharp. He likes the professional appearance the school uniforms gives most of the students. During their vacations and the weekends Emmet prefers to wear nice jeans or slacks with a button up shirt.
He doesn't enjoy wearing ties just because he has always had a hard time trying them straight, they always have ended up lopsided or one end would be longer then the other.
Personality
Shockingly Emmet has a positive outlook on things. He is a loyal friend to the few that he has. Emmet has one close friend, some one he would tell his life secrets too. That friend is also the one person that helped point him in the right direction when looking for his father. [Best friend slot is still open =)]
Other then friendship Emmet holds his morals even closer. He knows right from wrong, and prefers to do right over anything else. However, there is another side to this innocent lad. What goes on in his mind are thoughts his father might conjure up. Emmet's thoughts on muggles are neutral, but he finds him self thinking that perhaps the world might be better without them. Or pure-bloods v.s. mudbloods. He tends to think of him self higher then other's just because of his link to the Dark Lord.
Daily Emmet finds him self fighting a war inside his head, whether to approach the Dark Lord and reveal his secret or smash a vase over his unknowing father's head.
In other words, Emmet is quite confused about how he should lead his life.
Extras
Unknown to Emmet at the time is that he carries a rare trait that only Slytherins usually possess, he's a Parselmouth.
