general appearance
He finds it easy to hide his emotions and respond in a simple matter of fact fashion. It is quite easy for him to put on an act as if he has been unjustly victimized even though he really knows exactly what is going on. Regulus hates repeating himself, it’s quite obvious when he is annoyed, his words become sharper and his facial expressions show just how much he would rather be somewhere else. At those times he really could care less about what somebody says about him, that is unless it is a formal meeting where he will hide his disgust with a smile but his voice is still a bit strained as if he really is trying to fake a low level of cheerfulness. When he was little he had a sort of angelic face, it was how he first learned to act so innocent. And now he has become a professional at the ‘Oh I didn’t mean to do that’ act and gets away with it half the time.Behinds his icy blue eyes hold curiosity and a sense of mystery. He is hard to read, with the classic ‘poker face’ at the best of times, he can turn off charm in a flash and glare at you with his intense cold eyes. However a glint of emotion can be seen occasionally whenever he is truly affected by something or someone. The most emotion he'll ever show is through his lips. His malicious joker smile shows exactly that he’s up to something. He may know what you know or he may not but that smile means that he'll find out and when he does it won't be good.

The only difference between his confident looks and his diverse personality has to be his appearance, his long lanky body definitely makes the idea of him being fierce quite hilarious to people who don’t know him. Of course he has some strength but his appearance doesn’t really show it that well. Keeping his posture upright, standing tall to add to his height a little, he also has a bit of attitude in his walk. It’s as if he’s always confident, even if he isn’t sometimes. When he needs to be, he can assert most of his strength into what he's doing to help him in whatever he's attempting to do. Even though he's not as strong as some people it still doesn't deter him from backing away from a challenge, he uses what attributions he has to his advantage

worst fear, His has always had a fear of letting his parents down, never does he want to be in the situation his brother is in. Never would he want his family to think negatively about him in anyway and therefore he is willing to do anything in his power to make sure that never happens.
boggart, The constant battles between his parents and his older brother seemed to never be resolved. Throughout his childhood Regulus never seemed to understand what his brother was trying to accomplish. It was strange to see how Sirius could want something different than his parents. Especially when his brother left the family for good, watching his mother blast his name off the family tree was a definite impact on Regulus.

overall personality,
Around his friends and family he is most truthful, he doesn't like to lie to them or pretend to be somebody he is not. But around others he feels as if he has to live up to something. Mainly his family's expectations. He'd very idealistic and likes to think that his family is telling him the truth the whole time. He adores his parents and would never think anything terrible about them.

At times he is unable to empathize with anybody and can be unmoved by a person’s sorrows and can appear to be a little cold. Most emotions that most people feel are quite capable to him, though he doesn’t experience them quite as much. In order to fully experience them it must be with somebody he is close to, somebody that he trusts and can almost consider being his equal. There are some instances where it may seem it is impossible for him to understand some feelings mainly love. Of course he can understand them, however he can almost make himself believe he is infatuated with the person whom he is involved with at that time. This is probably the most self-destructive part of himself, the lies to himself lead to impulsiveness which can cause him to jump into a relationship quickly without even knowing the other person. The unstable relationships that he has been in have been so out of the blue that not even he can judge them or think about what to do in them. Perhaps these have been the best relationships of his life since he was so unsure of what was going on he had no time to really put on a certain appearance. However eventually he will realize that he is wrong about what he has been thinking and will quickly end whatever relationship he is involved with.

His actions are hard to explain, he really has no concerns for other people. Well…people he doesn’t know. If he doesn’t know them than why should he care about them or their problems? For example, if he were stuck with some random person complaining in line, he would have no problem telling them to shut the hell up when nobody else will. However there are times where he can be less willing to say such things, in these circumstances he will do his best to ignore whatever is being said. This mainly happens if he is in a proper atmosphere and it would be rather improper for him to tell somebody to shut up when it really wasn’t the appropriate time or place to be so bold. During these situations he mentally tells himself that he shouldn’t bother with such people as if they have no right to talk to him or be seated next to him or even think about talking to him – almost like a sense of entitlement. He feels as if he is more important than others as if he does deserve some things when in all reality he probably doesn’t.

"Never tell anyone the real reason you did something unless it is useful to do so." This idea by Machiavelli is quite like Regulus. The idea of manipulating and finding ways to reach his goals through ways most people would never do is something almost of second nature to him. The ideas of right and wrong are not there nor does Regulus ever act about those two ideas. Instead he will do whatever is his first instinct and then reason for them with some motive made up later. Of course this probably isn’t the best way to do most things but he’d rather act upon his instincts and not have to stop and think about what he should do before he does it. If he has to think about what he is doing he will feel less confident about what he is doing and sometimes will back out of the plan. Quitting in the middle of something is something he can’t stand to do; he feels as if he has failed himself therefore he has proved to himself that he can’t do whatever he challenged himself. The consequence of his actions depends on how much he can imagine what they will be; for the most part he really has no conscience. In most situations the questions he could ask himself would be what will he get out of it, and what will it cost? If the consequences of losing whatever he is going for than it is not worth going after even if it means failing.

The only time he holds responsibility is when he is assigned a job to do, he will do whatever it takes to get it done. This is probably one of the best advantages to his personality, he can give a subject he is intrigued in his undivided attention for long amounts of time. Whether it means he has to go out of his way to get the job done or if he has to kill or steal or anything, he will do it. In a job situation he probably has little, if any, emotions. His self-serving behaviors kick-in and if he does succeed he will often become too confident. The main disadvantage of his focus has to be his inability to see things that may be danger signals ahead. Though confidence is a good thing, there are times where the saying "ruin, folly, delusion," comes into action. His confidence often gets the best of him and therefore leads to a future downfall, however he will never admit his defeats. Instead he will do whatever it takes to correct his failures or do whatever it takes to get the blame off of him and on somebody else so he will not get in trouble. Luckily his quiet shy act does help during these times, if he just stays quiet and follows instruction he blends more into the background so if he does something nobody will ever suspect it was the quiet guy in the background.

overall history,
Regulus was born into the House of Black in 1961, the younger of the two sons of Orion and Walburga Black and the youngest member of his entire family. Named after his great-uncle, also named Regulus Black, and his paternal grandfather, Arcturus Black, he always felt like he had to be everything they were since he was given their names. At an early age he was taught the history of the family and has always been a supporter of whatever the family thought was right, he's never had any other ideas than that. After all whatever made his parents happy was good and Regulus had always aimed to please his parents no matter what. It was one of the things that quickly showed the differences between himself and his older brother Sirius.

From a young age, Regulus admired Lord Voldemort and aspired to become a Death Eater, taking photos and articles about the group from newspapers and hanging them in his bedroom near a painting of the family crest. Though he never spoke of his adoration for Voldemort out loud except to his family, he was never one to let people off the hook when they spoke negatively about the Dark Lord. On the occasion that it happened he would usually find some small way to get back at them. But never would he vocalize his opinions in front of a lot of people just because he knew a lot of people didn't share his views. However now that he has grown up quite a bit he has become a bit more rebellious though he knows when to hold his tongue.

Because of this his parents have always thought of him as the good son which made him feel quite happy that he was living up to the expectations they had for him. Though he never really understood why his brother Sirius didn't believe in what they did. Even as of now he still doesn't quite get his brother though he really doesn't make any effort to. For the most part although he is curious about his brother he doesn't really feel the need to understand him fully. After all they are quite different and therefore to keep from any confrontations Regulus just tries to overlook most of Sirius' faults (or what he considers them to be). It took an even worse turn when he found out of his brother's sorting in Gryffindor. Of all the places to be sent to he had never heard of any of family being sorted there. Was there something wrong with him? It was at that point Regulus was determined to be in Slytherin, to please his parents and be what they wanted him to be. To their pleasure and his Regulus was sorted into Slytherin and has yet to cause too much trouble unlike his brother.

These days Regulus doesn't associate himself with his brother at all. It has been hard for Regulus to get over the fact that his brother isn't like the rest of his family at all but still he has been doing his best to just forget about Sirius and focus on everyone else and the tasks at hand. Though he has not yet taken up the Dark Mark he is determined to do so soon, since he has always been a great supporter of Voldemort's ideas on pure-blood supremacy.

roleplay sample.
Even though the weather was cooling down it had never seemed to stop Regulus from strolling through the grounds of Hogwarts. Though he did mind the cold he always thought of his father's saying about the cold 'Better cold since you can put more layers on, than hot where you can only take off so many layers before it is very indecent'. It was just one of those random things that always came into his head as he felt the cold chill of the wind brushing against his face. It was refreshing, never did he ever get up early but today he had been rudely awakened by one of his friend's stupid cats that decided to jump up on his bed. After attempting to fall back asleep he finally gave up and decided to go for a walk since nobody else seemed to be up yet.

As he walked it was still a bit evident that he wasn't fully awake. Everything about him wasn't like his usual overly confident almost regal attitude. No, at the moment he was trying to not be blinding by the rising sun, and somewhat hoping nobody would see him here. He looked a mess, or well what he would consider a mess, his hair was being untameable once again, from the somewhat dazed look on his face it was obvious he wasn't used to being up this early. He hardly noticed that much of the beautiful surroundings, the lush green grass, the sounds of the birds chirping in the trees. Regulus had never been one to really appreciate the beauty of nature, sure it was pretty but he wasn't about to sit down in the grass and stare at all the beautiful colours of the world around him. He just didn't like to think of how wonderful the landscape was every time he went outside. It just seemed to be one of those things he never thought much of, so why should he start thinking about it now?

Glancing around he couldn't help but notice that not too many people were out this early. Well..he couldn't blame them, they were the smart ones that were either doing something better than staring at the flowers and being cold. The only good thing that seemed to come out of this so far was the breeze that was gradually walking him up. He began to wonder how some people could walk around the ground of Hogwarts and be so amused by it. Oh well, perhaps he would find out soon enough. Until then he would have to wake himself up, but how? The wind may have been working but he was hating this feeling of being slow, hardly alert, and just waiting for something to happen. He wasn't about to run, though that would wake him up but he would look quite silly running around at this time of the morning.

Running a hand through his messy hair, he tried to get it to stay back. But alas, it was going to be stubborn today, too bad he hadn't been awake enough to actually care about it. He just hoped to god nobody he knew would see him like this. Though now that he was thinking that, he had to wonder what his excuse would be if he did run into somebody. Oh what a terrible dilemma this put him in. No, no he wasn't going to think about this negativity. He wouldn't let himself do it, he just needed to act as if he was his usual self. Going over the instructions he was giving himself in his mind, stand up straight, act as if he was enjoying himself, and so on and so forth. Doing his best wake himself up, he kept on trying to remind himself that he shouldn't care about what other people thought, after all he was a Black he doubted anybody here could top that.
