PERSONALITY Anton is a typical intellectual on the outside. He comes across as a snobbish, know it all 'genius'. He knows that he's smart, that he's developed the skills to be so, and he's not afraid to act like it. However, he can also be quite charming and funny when leading a crowd. People often look up to him for his ability to find answers and make himself known in a crowd. Still, it's easy to tell that he is proud of the abilities he's evolved thus far, and that he has been told his whole life that he is better than most, even than his own brother. Anton has always been taken seriously from an education and professional standpoint. He has focused on his career based future and knowledge first and foremost. Therefore, his strongest, most hidden desire opposes that. Beckett wants nothing more, deep down, than to be taken seriously emotionally. Whether than be his parents to be more accepting of his flaws, or to fall in love with someone who really sees him. Beckett carries himself with grace, charm and intellect -- but underneath is a boy who just wants to be free to show his emotions in a safe space. He also desires to stay composed and not lose his temper and do something horrible. His talents outside of the world of Magical Academia include singing and studying Qigong martial arts. He took up Qigong to keep his temper at bay, as well as the emotions of those around him. He started at the age of eight for his temper, and when his emotional input and export ability surfaced at age ten, he leaned into it with even more vigor. His Patronus takes the shape of an Albatross. His main memory to call upon is the first time he sang out loud all alone. That was the first time he sang however he wanted, not caring what anyone thought about his form or about the notes being perfect. He was free. Special Ability Description Anton can sense what emotions people are feeling around him and, sometimes, affect the emotions of others too. He can sense what the varied levels of different emotions are, being able to access and read what is dominant in that person at that time and what else they may be feeling along with it. His understanding and sense of what they're feeling intensifies greatly depending on how close in proximity it is to them. This is uncomfortable and lingering, and Anton takes it at a scientific approach to avoid getting too emotional about... well, emotions. He can also effect others emotions by touching them and if they are willing. If they are, then the effects can last 10-20 minutes after physical contact subsides. ORIGIN & RELATIONS Adelaide, Australia Anita Ryan nee Adams -- Mother, 50 Todd Ryan -- Father, 57 Younger Brother -- 13 Younger Sister -- 10 Aunt -- 30, Defected to dark magic HISTORY As the oldest of two siblings, a lot was expected of Anton. His parents, Anita and Todd, realized his potential early on and cultivated an environment of learning and studying. Anton was encouraged to ask questions and research everything. He was good at it, and he enjoyed it. He was good at almost everything he touched, brilliant in every subject -- according to his parents. The truth was, Anton tried really hard to be that way. He studied more than most, he stayed up late going over his violin forms over and over again, he put himself through hours upon hours of work to live up to his parents expectations -- all the while not showing that he was making an effort at all. Making it all look effortless. It was hard not to pretend it was easy -- the way his parents reacted when he succeeded was enough for him to fake and lie his way through the painful parts of becoming the intellect school housed genius that he is. He was never an extremely exuberant child. At least not in most situations. He had friends of course that would make him smile, and give him something comforting and positive to think on. But at first, he didn't have an entirely outgoing disposition. His parents laughed and would say he was just melancholy and too genius to do childish things. They started to paint him as such, a genius. The truth was, he was always overstimulated by it all . By the bright colors, the bright lights, the loud noises of people enjoying or not enjoying their lives. He always felt like it was so loud everywhere he went and that every single thing that touched him on the air vibrated to a point that he couldn't ignore things unless he was on his own. That was the main reason why he often locked himself in his room and read books for days on end. His parents just thought that he was an intellectual child, so it was at the youngest age possible that they started to mold him as such. But even the books got boring, Anton didn't necessarily want to be bored and all alone, he wanted friends, he really did. He wanted to do exciting things and be like the characters in his books and go on adventures and see the world. But the world always seemed to come at him with such force as if to say you can only come out here if you can handle it, and you can't, you are weak. His temper didn't help, his temper that stemmed from noticing every little thing around him, and being bothered by it all. His temper was the main thing that hindered him, so he started studying Qigong martial arts to calm himself and find peace, mental clarity and emotional stability. It was his parents idea. After all, what was one more thing for their son to excel at? The enrolled him in singing lessons as well, once they heard his voice, but he was able to get out of those by saying that he wanted to focus more on the martial arts. That wasn't entirely the truth, he just didn't like someone telling him how to sing. Deep down, he wanted to be there for his little brother more, but since he worked so hard he didn't make the time for them that he could have. His ability to read emotions didn't help much in connecting with his brother. He could feel the sense of inadequacy, he could tell when his parents were proud or disappointed, he could feel resentment from the way his parents treated his brother like less. He didn't know what to say, or how to handle what he was hearing. The abilities came when Anton was ten years old, when his father found out the news that their aunt (his father's sister) had defected to the dark sides of magic. The grief and horror his father felt was like a knife cutting through him. When his sister was born, Tony thought things would be different with his own emotions. He softened around her in moments when she asked to paint his nails or braid his hair. When he was left to babysit, she saw a side to him that no one else did. A sweet, kind boy who was blessed by moments to just relax. Still, he had a hard time opening up to his brothers or parents, and still does. He acts the golden child, the part he has to play, the hand he was dealt. Of course, a strong part of him believes what his parents taught him to believe. That he was special, that he knows better than others, that he's smarter than most people around him. And why shouldn't he believe it? He did the work, he memorized the information, he's Head of his Class now. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, charming and talented. Why would he start showing weakness by showing his true emotions now? But, this year, Beckett was sent to counseling at school. Not because he asked for it, but because he was court ordered to. At the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, Anton got in a fight. He had always had a bad temper, and he had fought it for most of his life. But, when fourth year started, Anton started to make reckless friends and become more reckless himself as far as his temper went. There were moments his friends were even scared of him, but 'respected' his hard exterior and ability to 'protect' them with his hulk-like attitude. He liked being the leader of the pack, that space worked for him. However, his daily practices to avoid his temper evaporated over time. So, when his fifth year (last year) started, he was doing less martial arts and therefore the emotions of those around him were louder and his temper was shorter than ever. A fight started between two groups of boys the third week of school which ended up in Anton beating another boy almost senseless. It was a big deal at the school, and almost all the boys involved were pulled out. Anton caused the most physical damage though and was sent to court. There, he was given a two month suspension from school and was only allowed to return if he did counseling twice a week. Twice. A. Week. until the end of the school year, then he'd be evaluated. He finished out his fifth year in school, barely talking to anyone and keeping to himself and his counselors. Over the summer, he saw a new therapist that he got along with very well. However, before the summer ended, his mother suggested a change of scenery would be good for the whole family and after finding a job they moved to New York City. Now, attending Ilvermorny, Anton still has to go to therapy, but at least the whole school doesn't know what happened. Though, this school didn't seem to be in great shape either, but at least it was still running this year. OOC
