Be who they want to see:

Rodolphus at the pristine age of eighteen has the build of a 'Football player by American standards' and appears as a 'jock;' what ever that means. His eyes are like large glowing orbs that are colored of a light lilac almost a faint silver color, he is always told how pretty his eyes are. His hair is short, no longer than three inches of silk is on top of his head and is usually waxed slightly up, while his facial hair is no where in sight. He is always cleanly shaven and has a low tolerance for uncleanly-ness.

His skin is like an marble statuette siting on top of a large pillar for all to see and gawk at, he has a remarkable perfect complexion. On his left side, he has tattoo of a Slytherin snake that goes up the side of his body.

But that leaves no one:

To discover that inside:

More than anything else, Rodolphus has been shaped by his background and his upbringing, even though this might not always be in exactly the way his parents would have wanted. Being the first born child and the only true-son of a long and prestigious pureblooded line makes him measure himself after a standard that is never quite reachable. Even as a young child Rodolphus was serious, quiet and conscientious. He tries to the best of his abilities to be perfect, whether this is in regards to academics or the demands from his family and work. His personal mantra has always been to do what is needed, thought it would perhaps have been more accurate to say that he does what is asked.

Rodolphus ’s biggest problem is also his strongest personality trait. He’s extremely thoughtful, and can’t help but to mull questions over in his head. If something doesn’t make sense to him, or if he cannot understand the reason behind the action of someone else, he has trouble with simply pushing it aside and accepting it to be right. As a side-effect of this Rodolphus is also very organized. He has a way of seeing patterns in the world around him, and works very well with tasks that require a clear head and an ability to separate what is merely important from what is essential.

Even though it sometimes comes into conflict with his current line of work, Rodolphus judges himself after a strict moral code. Nobody is harder on him than he is himself. This is something that has been beaten into him from a young age, and although some of the values are based in prejudges and thoughts of superiority, they are also often honorable. Rodolphus ’s problem is that he at times has problems seeing why they should apply to certain people, but not to others.

That being said, Rodolphus is fundamentally determined. Once he has made up his mind about something it is very hard to get him to change it again. This means that he is a good person to have on your side, and he will go to great lengths to uphold his responsibilities. Should his loyalties ever waver, however, then he will most likely make a complete turn around and could be dangerous to have at your back.

When it comes to his friends Rodolphus has always been fiercely loyal. The people he truly cares about he will go to great lengths to keep safe and happy. Socially speaking he has sometimes come off as slightly introverted and uncomfortable, but this is a barrier that mostly dissipates once he gets to know someone properly. With those he feels he can trust Rodolphus can be a real chatterbox, and he’s not above playing pranks or jokes on his friends. In the rare occasions where he can actually just hang out with people he can rely on, Rodolphus becomes a more relaxed and cheerful person than he is otherwise.

This soulless being:

+ Hanging out with friends
+ Flying
+ Puzzles and riddles
+ Chocolate frogs
+ Potions
+Rabastan
+ Simplicity
+Women [The Blacks, well most of them]
+Death Eaters

Is just as lost:

-Homework
-Art
-Losing
-School
-Lovey-Dovey Crap
-Stalkers

As everyone else:

+School Work
+Getting a Girls' attention
+Flying
+Sweet
+Getting the Job done

In a world that knows only hate:

-Seems distant
-Easy to miss-judge others
-Lacking Common sense
-Lozer for Love
-Fool Hardy

And causes pain for the soulless like me:

He is unsure were he stands with his friends and what his role in Hogwarts is either

They left me to die:

On a bed of roses:

Blood seeping through:
True Blood to the very end: all though there are a few traitors to the cause.
The satin sheets of fame:
Rich
What a bitter story of love:
Rodolphus Alberto Lastrange was born in the quiet wake following the first Wizarding War, to a family of pureblooded decent. Both of his parents had been loyal followers of the Dark Lord, but had escaped the scrutiny of the Ministry of Magic and their Aurors through a veil of lies and deception. Neither Phineas nor Romalia Lestrange had stood openly on the barricades for Voldemort, preferring to operate from the shadows. Their contribution during the Dark Lord’s first attempt to rise to power had been of a financial and political kind rather than to aid the physical aspects of the war.

Due to the need to appear as well adjusted citizens of the new liberal magical community, Rodolphus was not as indoctrinated when it came to his parents views of muggles and the non-magical as he might have otherwise have been. Although his parents might have personally felt that the only good muggle was a dead one, having a child who would blurt out such views during a dinner party with the Minister could hardly be called practical. In the years after the Dark Lord had fallen, every pureblooded family who hadn’t openly supported the Order during the war was kept under close inspection. To ensure their family’s position in magical hierarchy Rodolphus was even allowed to have some muggle playmates as a young child.

As a consequence Rodolphus was brought up to be mostly ignorant about the major conflicts in the British magical community. Even so, he was an observant child who still picked up on his family’s general distaste for whatever was not considered to be up to their standards, and copied their opinions to the best of his abilities. The older he got, the fewer of his non-magical friendships were maintained.

Throughout his childhood Rodolphus was spoiled in the material sense of the word. Whatever he laid his eyes on his parents would supply. Other than this he was shown little interest, however. He learned to fear the attention of his father from an early age, seeing as it was Phineas Lestranges’s personal view that a father’s parental role was first and foremost that of a disciplinarian. Though this might not have been his parents’ aim, it also lead to Rodolphus getting a better connection to the family manor’s staff of house elves than what was normal for a young pureblooded wizard.

When he was only eleven months old, Rodolphus ’s younger brother Rabastan was born. Some children might find the arrival of a younger sibling threatening, seeing as they would often be noticed less by their parents themselves, but not Rodolphus. From the day his brother was taken home from hospital he wanted to spend as much time in hispresence as possible. He was a dutiful older brother looking out for Rabastan in any way he could, something that in many ways made the younger's first years more sheltered than his own had been.

The year Rodolphus turned seven, life as he knew it began deteriorating. His parents begun putting higher demands on him, and were more open in their dislike of the way their society were currently being governed. By the end of the year both of them were back in the flock of Voldemort’s faithful followers, and the Dark Lord was once again mentioned in quiet words behind the closed doors of their manor. The following years Samuel began having private lessons with his father. He was taught the basic of Eugenics and a revised version of Magical History, and was tested to make sure that the inherent magic in him was as latent as it should be for someone his age.

When he was eleven years old Rodolphus was enrolled in The Durmstrang Institute, a wizarding school located somewhere on the boarder of Sweden, Russia or Norway. This both felt like a blessing and a curse to the young boy. Academically speaking he got by okay in most subjects, but had an instant problem with the atmosphere that would follow him from his first year. Even though he got good grades in Transfiguration and Charms, he was made very aware of his father’s disappointment at his failures in the tactics of making good connections. Getting away from his family and from the conflict raging his home country did Rodolphus a world of good, even though he had his younger brother with him in the same classes and with him all the time. He was able to grow into his own personality a bit more without feeling the constant expectations as to who he was supposed to be and how he was supposed to act.

After his fourth year Rodolphus transferred to the new wizarding school in Britain. He was considered to be a good student, and even made Prefect in his sixth year. Socially speaking he got a few good friends, some of whom he still stays in contact with. During his last year Rodolphus was officially recruited to the Death Eaters.

"It was my pleasure," he told her, and laughed softly, hugging her to him although in his heart he was feeling some guilt. "But I have to admit, I feel bad, Leslie. Taking advantage of you while you're upset and not thinking rationally--although I'm not analyzing you, you COULD be thinking clearly for all I know. This shouldn't happen again," he sighed into her hair, dreading that this had to end but knowing that it really should. What they had been doing felt great, but at the same time, so wrong.

"You understand, right?" He asked, hoping he hadn't hurt her feelings in any way. "It's not that I don't want to... but I have certain morals, and today I broke more than a few of them. I can't be the type of guy who has sex with somebody's girlfriend, even if it's not the real thing between them. Just know that I'll always care for you, and I am absolutely always here no matter what should you need somebody to talk to, or just a shoulder to cry on."

Hell, he could be a lot of fun too, and he hoped that eventually he and Leslie could have a good time together while not sinning (or too profoundly, anyway. A little radicalism never hurt anyone). But right now that was not the point. "Okay, Les?" He asked, lifting her chin and peering into her eyes, willing her to understand. "All right?"
