Appearance: Short, skinny and lean. When he's younger he keeps his hair at a fairly 'emo boy' length and almost always dons a pair of Quidditch goggles atop his head. As he ages he keeps his hair fairly long and in a pony tail. His eyes are a vibrant green and have a bit of a playful look to them. His facial features aren't too hard edged; they're a bit soft.
Personality: Baine is a wise cracker or sorts. He often appears to be rather two faced but in actuality he's a rather loyal friend. IE: He'll openly flirt with Gloria though he knows she's going out with / married to Lucian. But he knows his boundaries and will only tease so far.
He often looks out for his friends when they're in need and won't let them down. If anything he can be a little passive aggressive, but is rarely ever openly angry.
Friends: Lucian, Kiera, Wolfren
Enemies: Julian, Gloria (to a point)
History:
Baine met Lucian at a fairly early age. He was fairly intrigued by this boy that he saw quite sparingly despite only living a short bit away. Childhood curiosity over took him and he began finding ways to sneak about and see this blond haired boy. What he found was an abusive family life and a naive boy who didn't know too much about the 'outside world'. Baine eagerly became friends with him, happy to keep him company and cheer him up when he was sad. Though he wanted to tell adults of condition's Lucian was living in, he was convinced otherwise, for Lucian was afraid he'd be taken away from his mother.
Fast forward to life at highschool. The two boys are best of friends, though among others they often tease and torment one another. Nevertheless, the two are actually quite affectionate with each other when not in sight of others. Baine is the only male who Lucian really trusts will let take advantage of him. On the other hand, Baine tries to keep Lucian out of as many spats as he can. Eventually he finds that Lucian is reduced to a giggling, non-aggressive and happy lump when drunk, and thus starts his long struggle with alcohol addiction. Baine also happily joins his friend in his exploration of different drugs.
When Lucian meets Gloria, however, Baine develops a rather deep distaste for the girl since she more or less takes Lucian away from him. He finds his bestfriend's almost obsessive behavior for his first (yet somewhat second...) and new found lover to be most grating on the nerves. While he harbors a strong disliking for Gloria, he makes it a point to not be open about it. Instead he is nothing more than a bit passive aggressive towards her, often hitting on her to get her to try to get her to bulge. Nevertheless, after realizing that his efforts are futile, Baine realizes that he can use the situation to his advantage, often telling Gloria of Lucian's more close kept secrets and problems so that she can perhaps aid him and starting a healing process.
Aside from his daily drama of dealing with Lucian, Baine became Slytherin's star Seeker his 3rd year, progressing to be a rather valuable asset. He harbors a good competitive nature with Wolfren, Ravenclaw's seeker. (On a side note, it also deeply aggrivates that following Lucian getting with Gloria his friend no longer comes to Quidditch matches to watch him play, but instead to pay attention to his girlfriend more).
After graduating from school Baine gets a contract with a Scottish Quidditch team, further proving himself as a useful asset. He keeps his ties with Lucian, as they are bestfriends afterall. Without Gloria around they seem to rekindle a bit, though Lucian is most eager to learn how to be an animagus so that he can see her in school once more. After the blond's incident with a werewolf, Baine keeps close to his distraught friend to keep him sane and comforted. This backfires a bit, however, when Lucian transforms and viciously attacks Baine. Wounded and sickened with the disease, the man is angry, but quickly moves on, for it was his own fault to be around the wolf on the fullmoon anyway. The injury did not threaten his career, so all was well following accident.
In another interesting incident, Baine seemingly paired up with a girl he'd met in school, Beth Rutherford, and got her pregnant when she was 18 and he 22. Due to complications at birth Beth died and left Baine with a baby girl: Kalyn. Following Beth's death Baine took off a bit from Quiddtich so he could take care of his newborn. Often he'd go over to Lucian and Gloria's (who are now married and have a kid of their own at this point) for a bit of support in his time of hell.
Fastforwarding quite a few years later to when Kayln is in her teens, Baine appears to have progressive run ins with a certain Kiera Wintergreen. Such run ins continue up until a Christmas party at the Timberwoods where Kiera and Baine do a little more than hit it off. Following that, Baine is a 'family friend' of sorts, often comforting Kiera when she needs it and being there in general. This continues up until - oops, Kiera's pregnant. The pregnancy is however due to a bit of tampering with a contraception potion from the Timberwoods which also yielded a few more surprises. Though troubled by this unexpected happening, Baine refuses such ideas of abortion and adoption, and stays with Kiera to support her partly in reason that he doesn't wasn't to leave her to go through another pregnancy by herself and a bit more.
Such an incident also caused rather harsh backlash from the media, Kiera 'officially' being with Julian Thompson of sorts, making them both out to be whores and Julian the wounded hero. Baine on the otherhand, took full blame for the accident of he and Kiera, refusing to slander his friend for the mistake that had been made with the potions though motives were laced with the 'mistake'. While Kiera and Gloria are pregnant, Baine makes sure to keep tabs on and assist them both, for Kiera he is obligated to, and Gloria is left with a depressed, wasting away husband who rarely leaves his room whom she has to take care of, lest he kill himself.
A month after little Petra is born Baine proposes to Kiera on Christmas day and she accepts. Eventually they marry and have another little girl together; Zöe.
