The Basics

Character Name: Draco Phineas Malfoy
PB: Tom Felton

Age: 21
Birthday: June 5, 1980
Wand: Hawthorn, unicorn hair, 10 inches, springy - Registered with Ministry / 11 inch, Ebony flexible with Occamy feather core - purchased abroad and never reported to the Ministry
House in School: Slytherin
Bloodline: Pureblood

Political View:
Draco has not left his pureblood superiority views behind. While he is quieter about them, and is less extreme than he once was, he still thinks that there should be a system in place. The current administration's security measures are an insult and an abomination. Yet, torture and suffering can alter a man's perspective. He's no longer as brash and bold as he once was. He has learned to hide his views a bit more, and has restrained from using certain diction in front of anyone of whom he is not completely certain.
Appearance

Height: 5'10"
Weight:190 lbs. (13.6 stones)
Build: Draco is slender and lithe, taking grace and ease from both sides of his family.
Eyes: Grey
Hair: Pale white blond, hangs into his eyes somewhat as he has long fringe to his cheekbones .
Build: Lithe, slender
Dress style: Impeccable. He prefers black edged in silver. He owns mostly robes, though he's been reluctant to get rid of the single pair of Muggle jeans and a t-shirt and jumper he had while in hiding. In public though, he's spent the last few months especially working towards the image that he wants people to see, to understand.

Defining Marks: Pale pointed face, distinct widow's peak hairline.
Personality

Draco has a competition complex. He must be the best, the favourite or he doesn't want to play the game. He's realized this, but has yet to be capable of controlling it. He has withdrawn from the world at large because he feels lost and lashing out is the easiest way he knows to deal with it. This competition complex is his greatest weakness currently as it is the easiest way to ensure he acts out in a predictable fashion.

He has, through necessity, proved that he is a survivor. No matter what happens, he will find a way. Though he's not mature enough to realize that he can use that strength to turn his competition complex into a neutral or even possibly positive personality trait.

He's taken to drinking regularly and brooding excessively. Believing in no one fully, but unable to completely discount his past has left him in no-man's land and Draco has been forced to rely on himself. Finally, he feels that he can't hide any longer and is determined to prove he is stronger than he feels.

He still has nightmares, though he wakes with fewer bruises when he drinks, and the nightmares seem to occasionally skip a night, or at least he doesn't manage to leave the bed occasionally.

Draco does have a shrewd head for strategy, however, especially where money and land are involved.
Psychology

Extrovert/Introvert:
Draco is an introvert. While he knows how to play the game socially, having been raised by both the Malfoy and Black families, Draco has found that in the end, he can only trust himself. He does not recharge by spending time with people as he finds that it has become mostly a chore of remembering what role to play.
Boggart Would Be:
Draco's boggart changed form after his torture at the hands of Voldemort. Now, it has taken the form he associates most clearly with the fear he felt. He sees a humanoid shadowy figure moving with serpentine grace through the air. He has claimed it to be a Dementor, but if one looks closely, one sees the figure wielding a whip of fire from the tip of a wand. The form continues to grow darker, as if sucking the light out of the world as it approaches, even the whip seems to be the embodiment of darkness.
Patronus Would Be:
Draco's patronus is a panther. Though he's never understood it, most likely for lack of trying, Draco views his mother as something of a large cat. She is his comfort and his protection. That it also takes the form of an apex predator should not be overlooked, though again, he's never taken much interest in the form aside from it not being a rodent or something "fluffy." Oh, and it is nothing like Harry Potter's. Of that, Draco is incredibly proud as he thinks the stag is pompous and overdone, just like Potter. If only to himself, Draco has admitted that his patronus is a competition with Potter.
Sexuality

Draco is straight, and has never really considered any alternate options for himself. Rebellion aside, he views anything other than a pureblood witch as a diversion and cheap entertainment.

Draco is definitely not a virgin, though that is the one part of his life where he always knew discretion was a necessity
Lifestyle

Occupation:
Currently unemployed, though he is considering pursuing a career in conveyancing. After the war and the Ministry's current position, he has no desire to pursue governmental positions.
Residence:
He has moved out on his own, but knows that an invitation to return to Malfoy Manor is waiting. It is a matter of what it would cost to return and what it would gain him.
Financial Status:
Recently returned to his affluent status, he is again living the life to which he was accustomed prior to the war. He has his own vault in Gringotts courtesy of his much belated custody of his trust fund.
Family

Parents: Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black
Siblings: none

Coming from excellent lineage, Draco has never had to want for anything. Throughout his childhood, being Lucius Malfoy's son was a blessing, an advantage. As the war raged on and Lucius was imprisoned, it became a burden. Now, he seeks to prove that Draco Malfoy is more than simply the son of Lucius and Narcissa. He has spent the time since his escape away from his parents, seeing them and the world through his own eyes, the eyes of a man.
He has become a man, though he is only now beginning to see what that means. He knows he'll have to redefine his relationship with his parents. He loves them, but he doesn't want to be a child any longer. He isn't entirely certain about how to go about this as he has always enjoyed his father's wealth and does not wish to lose access to his own funds, despite the fact that he appears to have complete control over his own vault. After all, one could never trust Lucius Malfoy, and if one person knew that completely, it was his son.

History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time

Draco enjoyed the life a prince should have while he was at Hogwarts. From being seeker on the Slytherin quidditch team to being a prefect his fifth year and on the Inquisitorial Squad.

His sixth year, however, his life changed drastically. After his father was incarcerated in Azkaban, Draco's status plummeted. He was charged with the murder of Albus Dumbledore by Lord Voldemort and spent what would end up being his final year at Hogwarts paranoid and obsessed. When he could not cast the final curse, the killing curse upon Dumbledore, something in him changed forever, though despite his continued contemplation, he has been unable to come up with a suitable answer as to what it was. He fled with Severus Snape, until his failure was discovered by the Dark Lord.

Taken into custody, Draco was tormented and tortured with real pain and illusioned torture of his parents due to his failure. In that time, Voldemort attempted to re-educate Draco into the image of what a proper pureblood would be. What he ensured was that Draco viewed him with fear and contempt. What he also managed to make sure of was that Draco viewed everyone with distrust. No one came to rescue him. In the end, he could only rely on himself, and the images of his childhood to hold him through.

After escaping, he remembers being held captive or rescued by the Order, but the details of how he got there or even most of his time there are decidedly vague. He spent the time from his escape to the final battle as a carefully guarded guest. During the battle, he was injured, though he hadn't taken up a wand against either side.

Severus helped get him out of St. Mungo's and he was grateful, if suspicious. The collar did not help his comfort level at all though he pretended it did. He never understood why Severus waited that long before helping him escape, why he couldn't prevent the torture, or at least rescue him earlier?

After living with Severus, he ended up having more and more contact with Potter, and through the soul-searching of a wounded child, he rebelled, moving in with the complete antithesis of everything he'd been raised to believe in. Whether he actually wanted to push Severus away completely, he'd never really thought through prior to doing so.

However, having set in motion moving in with Potter, he knew he'd cut ties and burned bridges with his parents and Severus. So he moved in with his nemesis. That proved to be a mistake.

He's now left them and moved out on his own. For the past two and a half months especially, he's spent life as a hermit. Draco has refused, to now, to get the device that would allow him more freedom of movement. He has continued his Ministry required visits, and curfews. It has been his one of his only interactions with the outside world while he did a great deal of thinking.

His 21st birthday was spent alone, drinking and thinking about his life. He'd gotten so thoroughly pissed he nearly missed his Ministry appointment the next day. The move had been intentional and deliberate, though now he's begun questioning whether it was done to heal or if it was another act of rebellion.

After his birthday, he began to look into conveyancing as a career. He has found it to be lucrative and something for which he has a natural talent, though no official steps have been taken thus far.

In regards to recent events:

In regards to his victory over Voldemort, Harry was lucky. While he may not speak about it, Draco has always resented Harry's ability to turn dumb luck into fame.

Draco feels he was weak the night that Severus killed Dumbledore and has never forgiven himself. Because of failing, he had no place in either world. He was seen attempting Dumbledore's murder, so the Ministry considers him a threat. Yet, he was unable to perform, and so the Dark Lord ensured he knew he was not entirely worth keeping, but that the pureblood in his veins kept him alive.

Draco is irritated at the publication of his father's book. He had no doubt his father would finagle a pardon. To make such a spectacular publicity stunt out of it though, did astound him.

Draco viewed Snape's pardon with suspicion. He wants to trust Severus, but the time at Voldemort's hands has jaded him against his once professor. If it was machined, he thinks it brilliant, but Severus seems to have softened or never fully been behind Voldemort, and that question makes Draco wonder and remain confused.

The Registry is everything the Ministry and the Order claimed was wrong about pureblood politics reversed and set upon the purebloods. It proves the Ministry is nothing but a set of hypocrites and cowards.

He's carefully avoided thinking too much about Remus Lupin's career at Hogwarts. He doesn't want to have to make a decision on this as he has survived the past year by abstaining from nearly all political commentary. He sees it as a Ministry concession to the collar Remus wears, and after living with Remus and other werewolves, his views have been threatened. What he's not sure yet, is if he's comfortable enough with his position to defend it publicly.

Of course Aunt Bellatrix would manage to get out of Azkaban. If anyone could work up an insanity plea and subsequent "cure" it would be her. Draco remembers her teaching him occlumency and legilimency his sixth year after her prior stint in Azkaban. Those are skills he has been practicing since they parted company.
