BIOGRAPHY:
Amycus was the golden child from the very start. He was the child that his parents wanted but they ended up with two. The heir and the spare. Amycus was the perfect child, at least that was the idea behind him. His parents focused on him, wanting him to be the perfect heir to the Carrow name. He was anything but perfect, but he was good at playing the part to make sure his sister’s chaos didn’t have to be tamed.
He loved the chaos that his twin brought to the world and he thrived on it. If Alecto was doing something it was clear that he wasn’t far from it, helping or starting his own chaos for fun. It was why when the visions started he enjoyed them. The nightmares that happened were things he thrived on. Bad things were going to happen and he could tell people before they did, or he could enjoy it. For the most part he enjoyed it.
Amycus is a seer but he only sees disasters of all kinds happening while he sleeps. Amycus has always slept like a stone, and the dreams and visions never seemed to bother him. In school he had one about one of his peers getting hurt during a quidditch match. When it happened he laughed and no one understood why.
In school he excelled at divination, charms, and herbology. Divination was an easy thing to take considering the seer aspect. Charms made it easier to learn how to tinker with cursed objects and curse breaking (or in his case putting curses on things). Herbology brought out his love for the poisons of the world. He has a green thumb for the deadly plants of the world.
It was how he found his position as a cursebreaker once out of school. He didn’t have to work hard, as he was the heir money was nothing. He did it because he enjoyed figuring out how curses worked and then placing them on other things to see the outcome.
Being a Death Eater was just the natural course of things. He was good at it. His father loved the fact that he was good at these things but there was one thing that always was enough to bother his father. His son would much rather be with a man than a woman. They had gotten into fights about it all throughout school. Amycus didn’t want to marry some pureblood woman and have children. He wanted what he wanted and his father could deal with it. Amycus went as far as bringing one of his boyfriends to a party and making out with him in the back to get a rise out of his father. He loved that night.
It was the one thing that made him not perfect in his father’s eyes, not that he cared. He did what he had to do as a death eater and enjoyed it. That was until the Dark Lord died. Amycus did everything he could to not go to Azkaban. This meant framing the man he was with, but hey he wasn’t in love with them so it didn’t matter. He made them look guilty and managed to skirt away from being caught.
Since the war is over he’s gotten bored. He wants to do something, something fun and exciting. What that is, he isn’t sure. He spends plenty of time at Alecto’s bar now. He doesn’t share the mixology talent of his sister, but that doesn’t stop him from being the test subject on new drinks. While he does work as a cursebreaker he wants more action.
