Physical appearance:
Rytal is young-looking still -- you wouldn't think the baby-faced man were more than eighteen were you to glance at him. His height at 5'5" and slight build add to this impression. He is agile - and even now has a tendency to go hyper on you occasionally. Has a tendency occasionally to flip over and walk on his hands instead just to see the looks on peoples faces. Dark mop of hair, and grey eyes which can be either sparkling with laughter or deadly serious, depending on the situation. Dresses as if he'd just grabbed whatever was at the front of his wardrobe. Generally he HAS, so there's no point in arguing.
Background:
Born to Muggles, clueless of magic...his parents believed he was going on another of his wild imagination trips at first. It took a while for them to get used to the fact that their son WAS a magic user. Once they had absorbed that, they backed him all the way, and took out a large insurance policy against their home exploding with no logical explanation. (Well, no matter if magic was forbidden in the world of the Muggles... they KNEW their kid.)
Time at School:
Rytal was the class klutz. He started as an innocent looking brat who looked about 3 years younger than he was, and behaved that way too. He was adopted as the class "baby" and liked it that way - you can get away with things if you're too young and innocent to know better.
Slowly he developed a more responsible side - though it took time. Although an irresponsible baby, he DIDN'T like seeing people get hurt, or people he liked being upset, and that side of him slowly blossomed and formed into a sly young mediator.
He learnt LOTS of things - like that an "accidental" explosion would divert people from an argument to see "what has Rytal broken NOW?" The hyperactivity never changed though.
He loved Quidditch and games of any type, but played with more enthusiasm than skill, never seeming to remember those simple but vital things like "how to brake".
Seeming indestructible though, he bounced from accident to accident leaving cheerful chaos in his wake. Rarely did anyone take a REAL dislike to him - he was too... too harmless to view as any sort of enemy. When two Slytherin boys DID take it into their heads to bully the kid who looked too small to defend himself they got a nasty shock as they discovered a large group of people turned around and told them to leave the class baby ALONE - the advantage of being small and unable to defend yourself is that other people will do the defending for you.
He paid the price for being the eternal clown though, and it was only by pulling his act together in the final two years that he managed to get out with any qualifications at all.
Time after School:
Initially hired as basically a paperwork shifter, someone observant noticed the way arguments tended to... get distracted around Rytal.
It took a little questioning and looking back in school records to see that convenient "accidents" had been happening for a LONG while. Confronted with the evidence, Rytal admitted rather guiltily to not all accidents BEING accidents, expecting to get in major hot water for this. He was rather surprised when it was decided that there could actually be a USE for this.
So, right now on his wageslip it says "administrator" and as far as most people know he is moved to places that have a lot of paperwork that needs doing. However he is conveniently planted in those places which are ALSO having problems with bad morale due to everyone hating each other. A little sly mediating can work wonders...
Other Details:
Much to his own surprise Rytal discovered an addiction to paperwork. Paperwork is a part of his job he can hide in when the OTHER part isn't going so well - and he does.
Sometimes all night.
Going with this tendency to stay up all night is an addiction to coffee. Extremely strong coffee - the sort that would melt metal if it were much stronger.
Rytal tends to live in one of three modes - extremely hyper, extremely serious, and extremely guilty. The first to all appearances seems to be pretty much permanent and generally hides the other two neatly unless you know him well.
The serious part comes when he's doing the mediating part of his job, and the guilty because no one ever told him he wasn't personally responsible if people REFUSED to play nice and be friends.
His hyperactivity can be confusing - like his magpie-ike tendency to collect shiny objects, and his delight in findng a new one. Sometimes he seems so YOUNG... and some of those accidents weren't pretending.
Things DO occasionally accidently break, or catch fire, or blow up around him. It's an ACCIDENT. Just run if you hear the word "Oops..." Has a familiar - black and white cat called Ty who seems to STRONGLY disapprove of him most of the time... but only because he gets himself into so much TROUBLE.
Silly kitten - doesn't he know better than to work so hard? She's not always to be seen as she's not fond of strangers, but she's generally around keeping an eye on her stupid human. Rytal lives knowing that if he messes up he will receive a Look... and what could possibly be worse that that?
