APPEARANCE
Played by Thresh from the Hunger Games aka Dayo Okeniyi (link)
DESCRIPTION:Tall and dark, some might consider Aje handsome, others consider him intimidating. He carries himself with pride, head up and shoulders back. Despite his size, Aje moves quickly and quietly. When he feels strongly about something Aje often resorts to talking with his hands. That coupled with his reluctance to use a wand occasionally results in accidental displays of magic. Others would describe him as aloof or restrained, he favors a closed mouth smile over a full on grin. Even so, the man's got dimples to die for.

BIOGRAPHY
Parents: Abiola (Mother) Ebiowei (Father)
Siblings: Lots of them
Partner: None
Children: None (he's like SUPER gay.)
Other Family: None of Note
Character History: One unusually sweltering hot day in March, Abi was rushed to the local hospital to give birth to the first of many children, her beloved son Aje. The baby was a quiet and easy child, crying very little and soothing easy. Aje was doted on by both his mother and father for the first year of life and not long after, Abi was pregnant again. His family grew to be quite large but they did not want for anything. Ebi worked hard at his government job and provided them with a comfortable living.
The loss of his father ruined Aje's happy ever after. It plunged him into a period of depression. His mother tried very hard to find adequate work but it was very difficult. On top of that, Aje became a 'problem child'. Weird and unexplained things would happen around him. Things would fly off the shelves when he was upset, broken things would spontaneously mend themselves, objects changed color. It was very odd and his mother and siblings found it unsettling. These strange events were all explained one night to Aje while he was sleeping. A lynx came to him in a dream and told him that he was very special and possessed the ability to do magic. It was surreal and confused poor Aje. The dream felt so real, but surely lynxes do not talk. When he woke up, he found a small stone inscribed with a message in his hand. He was a wizard and had been accepted into Uagadou school of magic.
His mother thought this was a trick but some days later they were visited by a representative from the school who was able to demonstrate their magical ability. His new found specialness helped pull Aje out of his depression. At school he flourished. He was an excellent student and a quick study. He became popular and discovered that he was very athletic. His large frame and quick reflexes made him an excellent keeper. In his last year of school a scout from Puddlemere United owled him and was interested in recruiting him. Aje was very conflicted. He loved his family but a professional quidditch player made a great deal of money. After much consideration he accepted the invitation and moved to the UK with the promise to eventually bring his family to England, to give them a better life.
He fit well with the rest of the team and did well with Puddlemere. Despite the demanding schedule Aje also applied for a job as an Auror-In-Training. He needed a fall back career for when Quidditch ended, plus the extra income could be sent to his family back in Nigeria. Aje has had a few minor run ins with the law due accidental magic when Aje gestured too much during heated conversations. A few months after arriving to England he reluctantly bought a wand but rarely uses it.
During the Second Wizarding War Aje retired from Quidditch to focus his efforts on his work as an auror. Kingsley Shacklebolt, a fellow auror, brought Aje into the Order of the Phoenix and he fought alongside them to end Voldemort's reign and support The Boy Who Lived although he never grew particularly close to any of the trio, their families or friends. He mostly worked alone on small missions and Aje preferred it that way.
The war ended, his auror work continued and he played Quidditch as a hobby in pick up games on the weekends. Eventually he decided it was time to move on from the Ministry and retired from his position as an auror and is currently seeking employment as Dueling Professor where he can use his skills to teach the young witches and wizards how to protect themselves in a very dangerous world.
