- he lost his virginity at a party around october 2022 to a fifth year.
AMORTENTIA:
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
( CAREFREE ) - it's his life, he'll do whatever he wants with it. he respects and trusts his parents enough to know that studies are important and so are grades and not pissing off teachers, and that's pretty much the only reason he even cares. otherwise, he'll have gladly raised hell in hogwarts, formed and run a brothel, and drank alcohol in place of water. it's a reason he doesn't like talking to old people (read: grandfathers, etc) because they're stuck in their time, they see the things he does as rebellious or stupid or idiotic, whereas he's just out to enjoy his life.
( OUTGOING ) - he's outgoing in the sense that he doesn't care what people think of him, and he'll gladly do dares for his friends (or enemies). he has no problems hitting on or chatting up a girl, and if someone bumped into him and didn't apologise, he'd loudly ask them, "mate?" he likes his parties and he likes his drinks, he likes socializing and all that, and there's hardly a loss for topic when he's around, but that doesn't mean he's out looking for friends. he's not looking for hugs or for someone to listen to him or try to understand him. his outgoing personality is skin-deep; otherwise, he's not looking for deeper-understanding, read-my-soul kind of friends - and he doesn't want to have a lot of those, either.
( PESSIMISTIC ) - he's a slytherin at heart, despite all the outward front of being a carefree guy. he's seen a lot of the world (or else, he's been told a lot about the world) and he knows that when anything can go wrong, they will go wrong. he knows there's no point in really trying to fight it, so might as well enjoy the journey. he's generally pessimistic about a lot of things - from small details such as weather ("nah, let's not play quidditch tomorrow. everytime we say that, it'll rain five minutes before we start the game.") to girlfriends and love ("mate, girls are fun. but girlfriends? fuck no, never gonna end well."). he's pessimistic about his studies, too, but he knows that that's at least one thing that can be changed if he worked for it, and so he puts in the effort when it's required (read: cramming like hell the night before exams) and knows that he'll at least pass the damn subject.
( WHINER ) - any smart person can see there's a lot to complain about the world. vlad never stops, even if it's just for conversation's sake. he's become acquainted with a fair number of people simply through their mutual thoughts on something he's complaining about. he never usually goes on a tirade, because he feels that's not really his act, but his conversations are definitely punctuated with several comments on what he's found unsatisfactory during the course of his day. he's content inside, really, he just likes to complain because let's face it, that's what slytherins do.
( SARCASTIC ) - the favourite tool of the intellectually bankrupt, or so they say. if you asked vlad, he'd say he was more intellectually advanced than those who say that because let's face it, you have to have at least high amount of intellect (if not incredibly high) to be able to spar and defeat someone using words, and sarcasm is the best sly attack in a battle of words. therefore, vlad likes to practice at every opportunity presented and on everyone he can.
( TRUSTWORTHY ) - you can tell vlad pretty much anything, and unless you make an enemy out of him later, he'll keep it to the grave. you may say that's incredibly un-slytherin-ish of him, but watch your back if you decide to give up your friendship with him. he'll wait for the perfect time to strike, and when he does, he'll make sure you hear about it. but besides that, as long as you don't make a bitch-moment out of it, he'll listen and he'll hear and he'll keep it secret - just don't act like it's a chick-flick? vlad would hate to think of any moment between himself and another person that made him feel like he was being emasculated.
( GENTLEMANLY ) - up to a point, anyway. it's just a part of his charm: opening doors, letting women go through first, offering to carry books, smiling at all the pretty ones he sees, never burping or farting in public (his mother would kill him if she ever knew he'd participated in such humiliating acts, and so vlad feels it's rather unnecessary). then there are the more dubious moral ethics he has: sleeping with only one girl at a time, pursuing / chatting up one girl at a time, carrying books for only one girl at a time (that's a must - no way is he going to break his back to carry two loads if the girls are only going to slap him for being blatant about his game). he however has no problems with sleeping with more than one girl a day / night, or carry one girl's set of books for lunch and then another at dinner, etc. it's all just a game for him, though - he doesn't do it because he's interested in a relationship or doing it for the same person again and again everyday. hence: dubious.
( SELFISH ) - another inherent slytherin trait, pretty much everything vlad does is to benefit him in some way in the end. he tries in school because he wants a nice pay when he graduates so he can own his own business, he smooth-talks girls for their company (and probably more), he doesn't want to love because he doesn't want to give away his heart, he goes out to parties and drinks so he can enjoy himself, he sneaks into the kitchens sometimes so that he can eat as much as he want without five other people getting food off the same platter, he's trustworthy so you can tell him your secrets and then he'll keep it in the bank for the time to collect payment and use for bribery / blackmail. if you knew vlad's inner motives, you'd see he's as selfish as a shellfish and as sly as a snake.[/blockquote][/ul]

------------------i have no reason to run
FATHER:
the only child of a single mother living in a small hut on the edge of a farm, andrei was raised like a servant - poor, little clothes, and not enough food to eat. the only thing of value they had was their name and blood and pride, and edith promised that one day, the world would be theirs through their name and blood and pride alone. little andrei had nodded in fascination and wonder, and couldn't wait for that day where he wouldn't have to steal the apples and carrots left out for the horses. at eleven, he was admitted to durmstrang, a special favour asked by edith to karkaroff, the headmaster at that time (edith had not known that karkaroff had used antonin's name to try and bribe his way out of azkaban). fearing the reaction should antonin be released from prison and learned that his son was denied durmstrang education, karkaroff had acquiesced. andrei had remained at durmstrang for the entirety of his education, excelling in quidditch, and became the flying instructor straight after his schooling. during his teen years, he became distant from his mother as she was far away and his owl had a difficult journey delivering post, so when she left to return to england when he was 21, he didn't feel particularly inclined to follow her. he received news of her death and his father's (who he never knew), and for the first time headed for england to organise her funeral and to pay his last respects to both her and his father. upon learning that they were both on the losing side of the war, andrei left england, having no wish to participate in their politics nor the intense unpopularity he had acquired through no action of his own, but simply through existing as a dolohov. he still had his pureblood pride, and when his first son was born, andrei sent him to durmstrang. one day, going through his mother's old papers, he found a letter expressing her wish that he have children going to hogwarts - her graduate school - and to honor that wish, he allowed his next son the choice between durmstrang and hogwarts. as vitali quarreled with his big brother often, vitali chose hogwarts, and vladimir, the next son in line, also chose hogwarts on account of vitali's stories (which were far more interesting than valisiy's). their youngest sister was sent to beauxbatons on the request of their mother. andrei still works at durmstrang as flying instructor, and signed on to coach for the karasjok kites in 2020.[/blockquote][/ul]
MOTHER:
the daughter of a french non-Voldemort-supporting pureblood family, arianne was schooled in beauxbatons, her parents fearing durmstrang's reputation and the effect it may have on their only daughter. she has a very distant veela ancestor, awarding her with many suitors in her youth due to her beauty. she met andrei at a quidditch game between the karasjok kites and quiberon quafflepunchers in 1999, and had been seated next to each other. to andrei's intense amusement, the beautiful girl beside him cheered whenever his team lost, and booe'd whenever his team scored, and so had struck up a conversation about it. captivated by her charm and smile and sparkling eyes, and she by his grin and humor and sarcastic wit, he had asked for them to meet up at the local wizarding pub. he left the next day and returned to norway, whereas she stayed in france and continued her education at a wizarding university. they owled each other often, and within eight months, andrei was back for a vacation to visit her. he left after three weeks, and then in six months, it was arianne's turn to visit norway. she had just finished her degree, and andrei treated them to an expensive restaurant where he proposed to her. she ecstatically said yes, and they were married in early 2002. she moved to norway, and was accepted for a job in the norwegian ministry of magic. their first son was born in two years later, and she had no qualms of sending him and the two brothers that followed after to durmstrang and hogwarts respectively, but she requested her baby girl to be sent to beauxbatons, as it had been tradition in her family to study at the french school. she loves all her children dearly (especially her daughter) and misses them and always writes letters to them.[/blockquote][/ul]
SIBLINGS:
in vlad's opinion, vasiliy is a complete bitch. snobbish because of his "superior" education, orders vlad around because he's the eldest, never bothered to study or work because he's all set for the bigger part of the inheritance, greedy and proud because he's rich and he knows it, has a head bigger than the moon because he's a dolohov, meddles in everyone's business because he thinks he can. vlad is glad to have been given the choice between durmstrang and hogwarts - he might have strangled his brother if he'd been forced to live with him.
( VITALI -- DOLOHOV ) - brother ; pureblood ; sixth year
his closest sibling, vitali is another reason vlad chose hogwarts. because vasiliy is such a complete waste of space in vlad's life, vlad looks up to vitali as an older brother and best friend. vitali is the one who covers up for him, who eggs him on on dares yet tells him to be careful, who tells him to start studying but not too study too hard, who introduced him to the party scene, who taught him about alcohol and girls. the only two dolohovs in britain, they've had to back each other up on any prejudice they've faced having a death eater last name, and vlad would do anything for vitali.
( VALERIYA -- DOLOHOV ) - sister ; pureblood ; twelve ; beauxbatons student
as the baby of the family, ever since she was born val was able to get things done her way, which irked vlad no end because he was the one who was supposed to be followed, damn it. as val grew up, she found out her inane talent to piss vlad off, and she's been using it ecstatically ever since. despite all that, though, vlad would kill anyone who hurt his baby sister.
vlad is proud that one out of his siblings, he's the only one who has a consonant after the first letter of his first name, and a consonant to end it.[/blockquote][/ul]
OTHER IMPORTANT FIGURES:
a follower of voldemort since his hogwarts years, antonin dolohov joined the death eaters the moment he was out of school, actively participating in the reign of terror. he took part in both the first and second wizarding wars (1970 and 1998 respectively), tortured many Muggles, and non-voldemort-supporters, was partly responsible for the deaths of fabian and gideon prewett (1981), and sent to azkaban in late 1981 (aged 29). he then escaped azkaban prison in 1996, only to be recaptured and incarcerated after the battle of the department of mysteries. by 1997, he was again at large at the fall of the ministry, and he was finally killed by filius flitwick in the battle of hogwarts.
( EDITH DOLOHOV (nee bulstrode) ) - grandmother ; pureblood ; b. september 4 1955 ; d. may 2 1998
a voldemort-sympathiser, though not a death eater, edith met antonin at hogwarts and was arranged to marry him when she was 20 (1975). their first and only child - a boy - was born a year later. when voldemort fell, antonin told edith to go into hiding and take their son with her. she fled to russia, taking refuge with some distant relatives of antonin. she returned in 1997 when she heard that there was a second wizarding war, telling her son to remain in durmstrang where he had studied and was a flying coach. she had only the briefest chance to talk to antonin, joining the snatchers simply to have an excuse to be near the death eaters. she died in the final battle, when the covered bridge collapsed.
( ÉDOUARD AMBROISE SAUVETERRE ) - grandfather ; pureblood ; b. november 23 1951 ; previously président du conseil d'administration, beauxbatons académie ; retired
( ALBERTINE CLARICE SAUVETERRE (nee bisette) ) - grandmother ; pureblood ; b. may 8 1958 ; housewife[/blockquote][/ul]
OVERALL HISTORY:
he's learned he has a talent for charming girls, but he's heard stories of his friends and friends of his brother's about broken hearts, and so he's promised himself to never fall in love with someone. he believes that all relationships end badly (unless you're married, and then he believes in love because his parents are still madly in love with each other, but he's a bit too young to want to get married). he's selfish, and he's seen those broken hearted fools, how they lose taste for their life and think that's the end for them. he's seen the broken hearted girls, too, and he's heard many stories of rebound sex and depression and cuts and he never wants to be a part of that. he's completely fine with his life as it is, and he doesn't really want to change it at the moment, thanks.
the dolohov family is a pretty decent family. they have a beautiful three-storey house in norway, as it's closer to durmstrang and hogwarts, and arianne works in the norwegian ministry of magic. andrei and arianne are still very much deeply in love with one another, and they take time out of their respective jobs for each other and for their family as a whole. when all four children are on holidays, they take the family to beaches and the mediterranean, and they go on outings as often as they can. christmas is also a big celebration, inviting the sauveterre grandparents to norway (or going to france to join them), and so far none of the siblings have missed to go home for christmas holidays. andrei tries his absolute best for his family because that's what his mother showed him, and he never wanted anything to do with the dark arts because he'd seen what it had done to his mother, and he never wanted anything like that to happen to his children or his wife.[/ul]
