CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Tyrannus Basilton 'Baz' Pitch

CANON: Carry On

CANON POINT: The night Simon Snow comes to his house (for the second time)

ARRIVAL TYPE: Accidental

IC USERNAME: burningpitch

HISTORY:

- A wizard from a world that draws heavily on Harry Potter and related tropes; i.e., attends a special wizard school, exists in a society apart from the non-magical world (although physically integrated: mages don't live apart from normal people, but they don't reveal their magic, either, and they have many of their own systems of governance)

- Part of an old, affluent family that, until recently, wielded a great deal of influence and power among other mages. This power shattered after vampires raided Watford, the wizard school, and killed its headmistress--Baz's mother.

- Baz was bitten during this attack. As a result, he is both a wizard and a vampire.

- In his first year at Watford, Baz was paired with Simon Snow by the Crucible, a magical object that determines a student's roommate for the entire course of their academic career.

- This was immediately problematic, because Simon Snow was the Heir of the Mage; i.e., heir to the revolutionary leader who stormed in after Baz's mother died, instituted sweeping reforms, and broke the chokehold Baz's family once enjoyed on mage society.

- The situation became even more dire when Baz realized that, despite their necessary antagonism towards one another, he was hopelessly in love with Simon.

- Things came to a head in their final year. Prior to the start of term, Baz was kidnapped by numpties (troll-like creatures made of rock), kept in a coffin for weeks and deprived of food (albeit not blood, but he needs both).

- He missed a lot of school because of this. However, his aunt eventually rescues him, and after a short period of convalescence, he returns to school--finding Snow furious at Baz's unexplained (and, to Snow's mind, probably sinister) absence.

- After a bit of the usual back-and-forth, Snow reveals that he'd been visited by the ghost of Baz's dead mother with clues as to the true nature of her death.

- This, and the growing power of an overarching evil entity referred to as the Insidious Humdrum, forces Baz and Snow into a temporary alliance.
