overall personality:
For the most part, Julius is calm, cool and collected through everything. He’s the type of person that will assess a situation closely and run through multiple solutions before giving an answer or taking any action in response. He likes things to be simple in his day to day life but he loves a challenge every now and then, which is one of the reasons why he chose a career in healing. He has a strong passion for taking care of others so naturally he gravitated towards healing magic.That passion can sometimes come off as impersonal, oddly enough, in his current career as a healer. He’s been told before that his listening skills could use a bit of work; when he figures out what is wrong, he can seemingly get tunnel vision when offering solutions and harshly seems as if he is no longer listening to any other details offered because he has already figured out the answer and doesn’t need any more information.
Julius comes off as a little old-fashioned in his views on things in life. He can’t wait to get married, settle down, and have a family to make money for and take care of. And he really means take care of; he would rather his significant other be a stay-at-home parent for many reasons including the fact that he wants his children to always have someone around that they can depend on to love and take care of them. He loves children. Even though he chose not to primarily work with them in his profession, he makes it a habit to go see them in the hospital when he gets the chance to and he looks forward to having children of his own one day.
Being a pureblood, his parents fully embraced blood purist ideologies. They passed those ideals on to him and his siblings and he was raised knowing that muggles and muggleborns were beneath him. Julius was immersed in those beliefs until well into his schooling years. Seeing that muggleborn students weren’t the monsters nor the inferior branch of the wizarding world that he’d always been made to believe, he could not logically hold on to the blood purist ways. For the most part, he doesn’t believe in it anymore but sometimes those teachings bubble up to the surface. Though he tries to avoid it, he can sometimes make offensive comments. He tries apologize and correct himself though when he realizes what he may have said.
Julius is very logical; if something doesn’t make sense to him, he will try to make sense of it. If he can’t do that, he rejects the idea. When he does figure it out and it makes sense to him, it is very difficult to sway him from the logic he’s found.

history:
Julius was the youngest born child to Apollo and Yuna Selwyn. He’s a born with a lot of expectation on his shoulder; his parents wanted him and his siblings to be greater than each other. It was like a competition; though they all respected one another and cared for each other, there was always a stifling air surrounding them demanding they they discover something new or master a new skill to impress their parents. To be useful. Julius did his best not to let it plague him. He grew up invested in developing his own skills and sense of self, and if those skills were seen favorably by his father, so be it.
Being in such a competitive atmosphere left the home devoid of any real loving emotion. Julius had tried to break that atmosphere a few times but he was ignored. For the most part, he was a quiet child. When he began exhibiting signs of magical ability, it was a quiet affair, one his parents did not know right away was happening, but they expected nothing less from a member of their bloodline. It was especially less unremarkable because he began showing signs around the same age that his elder siblings had shown them. Still, Julius was excited about the development of his magical abilities. Even though he couldn’t control his abilities, he still found himself attempting to do things, anything really, just by willing it. Most things didn’t work of course, but sometimes his pillows would change colors or his books would fly across the room to him and he’d grin to himself because he’d known he’d done that.
When the time came for him to go to Hogwarts, he’d been prepared for the new experience and prepared to be able to learn how to utilize his magic for his own benefit. By this time, his siblings had already been at Hogwarts for a few years and had only heard a few things about the school in passing; mostly when his siblings were discussing their academic achievements. Just hearing those things made him feel less competitive and more proud that his siblings were accomplishing so much. He entered the school and was sorted into Ravenclaw. This was something he thought his parents would not particularly care for as his father had been sorted into Slytherin in school. He was surprised to learn that his father was equally pleased by this, saying that Julius had already set himself apart from his siblings with this sorting and that he expected better things to come from him in the future. As much as he didn’t want it to, that encouragement pushed him. Part of him wanted to make his parents proud. He knew it would make them happy if he made them proud.
His first two years at Hogwarts were very interesting. He had always known himself to be superior to many other because of the fact that he was pureblood. While he didn’t actively bully muggleborn students and those of lower status, he made his beliefs obvious through the people he befriended. Most pureblood students he’d already known because of their familial circles so he made friends with plenty of them. He was rather dismissive with anyone he didn’t know from familial ties. His brother and sister were really involved in their own academic careers, leading some team or creating and heading up some club, and while this made him a bit sad he tried to do his own thing. He liked school well enough and he made sure he did well in his classes, whether he liked them or not.
During the winter break of his fourth year. His parents told him it was time for him to meet the girl he was going to marry, his betrothed. Both his older brother and sister were betrothed so he expected that his time would come soon enough. Apparently, his parents had been in talks with the Flint family and he was to marry their youngest daughter. He’d seen Elizabeth around school though he’d never quite talked to her because of the fact that she was younger. Upon his return to school, he made more of an effort to speak with her. She was nice enough, though a bit quieter and more timid than he expected considering the family she came from. He developed a feeling of protectiveness over her, attempting to watch out for her when he could and keep her out of trouble. She was going to be his wife someday after all, so he felt it was his duty as a gentleman.
The rest of his time at Hogwarts was filled with self-discovery and revelation, as it should be. When he’d first entered Hogwarts his blood purist sentiments couldn’t be shaken. He didn’t associate with those who fell in the muggleborn category and barely acknowledged anyone who’s family name he didn’t recognize. Years past and he couldn’t deny brilliance and intelligence when he saw it. There were plenty of muggleborn and halfblood students who’s grades rivaled his own or even surpassed him. Being in a house that celebrated intelligence, he couldn’t avoid seeing the brilliance of his housemates. He even got to know a few of them, some better than others and getting to know them made him break away from his previous blood purist thinking. Also during his time in Hogwarts he discovered his love of healing and became invested in pursuing healing as a career. It was something he could be proud of and he liked the challenge healing presented. He even grew close to his betrothed, getting to know her better and being able to call her a good friend. Upon graduation, he was happy with his accomplishments and ready to start his career in healing. He began training at St. Mungo’s on the Magical Bugs and Diseases floor directly after graduating from Hogwarts. With stellar N.E.W.T.s marks, he’d had his pick of which floor he wanted to work on and the Magical Bugs and Diseases was the one that seemed more interesting to him.
He’d seen the results first hand after the attacks began. He’d still been in training when everything happened and the hospital had gotten a lot busier. It had all been shocking; seeing the children coming in from the attacks had hit Julius hard. They were just kids, not much younger than he was, yet they were being attacked and killed seemingly over something that was beginning to hold less importance to Julius. When the attacks on King’s Cross station happened, he got another look at the cruelty when they got wizarding patients in affected by the large scale attack. He’d kept his cool when he’d been working on patients but it had all been hard to swallow after the fact.
Everything happened much faster after that. With the death of Pansy and Marcus Flint came the end of his betrothal to the youngest Flint daughter. His parents decided it was best to end the betrothal and thus their relationship with the Flints so their name would not be connected to anything that happened with them since the family had been seemingly falling apart anyway, their words. This threw a wrench in his plans considering the two were to be married once she had graduated.
When the Triwizard Tournament was announced, Julius thought it idiotic to hold the tournament with so much going on, though he had never thought highly of the tournament in the first place since there was no logical reasoning for it. All of this culminated when the attacks on the Beauxbatons carriage and Durmstrang ship happened. Had the tournament not happened, the attacks would not have happened and the families affected would not have had to go through everything that was happening now. St. Mungo’s became busy once again, to the point where they were having to pull healers from different floors in order to help out with the care for the students and teachers caught in the blasts. Julius had helped in caring for some of the patients having to tell families that they had been unable to save their child was the worst. Having to tell them that their child might not be the same wasn’t much better.
Julius doesn’t really care about the arrival of the Ilvermorny students, though it was unfortunate it how came to be that they are in the UK now. He is just trying to figure out what direction his life will go in now that he’s become a full-time healer at St. Mungo’s.
