Personality:
Nolan is a down to earth person and knows what he wants. He isn't afraid to speak his mind which would cause him trouble sometimes and may seem a little cold at the first meeting. But when one gets to know him better they will know that under that cold surface is actually a nice man that has a passion for his work and loves what he is doing. There is one thing he hates and that is when people get an tattoo without a reason behind it. And he WILL try to talk a person out of getting one when he or she wants the name of their boy/girlfriend.
SPOILER!!: History:
Born in the spring of 2049, Nolan Park was raised in a magical family in Bibury. He lived together with his mother , father and little sister in a stone cottage near the fountain in the middle of the village. As a kid, Nolan was known as the strange kid. None of the other kids in town had magical abilities and later as Nolan grew older he found out that he and his family were the only *odd* ones. despite that his parents knew he would become a wizard they had send him to a muggle elementary school in the hope he would make friends there. Till the age of 9 , Nolan was teased by the other kids for being different and he came home often crying and shouting he never wanted to see his classmates again. A few weeks after his classmates were making fun of him , something snapped. Nolan did not know himself what had happened but one second the group of bullies were up and standing around him the next they were blown away by an invisible force. From that day on, none of the kids dared to say something to him and they completely ignored Nolan.
His family however gave him even more attention when they had heard what had happened from the neighbors. Their neighbors were shaken and did not know if what they heard was the truth or not but when they had told Nolan's parents they only smiled and his mother even made a little jump from joy. There was no doubt that their little kid was a wizard as well.
When Nolan turned 11 he had gotten an acceptance letter from Hogwarts school. His parents explained to him what the school was and that they themselves had been there when they were younger. Nolan loved the stories his parents told him before he went to bed and couldn't wait to begin school as well. At Hogwarts, Nolan was sorted in to Slytherin after the sorting hat had been on his head for a good minute. The hat couldn't decide between Ravenclaw and Slytherin and eventually it went with the latter.
It wasn't until the age of fourteen that Nolan discovered he had a thing for art. He would be seen sitting around the castle drawing the landscape or other little doodles. And the older he became the better he got in drawning.
After graduating from Hogwarts school, Nolan began to search for a job. But his interest was limited and he refused to work just *somewhere*. He wanted to find a job involving art and applied for a job in the muggle world despite being a wizard. He figured that muggles had more interest in art than the wizarding world and after walking by a book store one day he saw an application on "Workers for the illustrated section"
Thinking that the sign meant he could work as an illustrator, Nolan asked if the job was still available. He got the job but there was one problem. The application didn't mean he could be working as an illustrator for the books but he would only SELL illustrated books for the little kids.
And what was worse, he had signed a year contracted. Meaning he couldn't go away if he wanted to because he wanted the money. As time went by, Nolan began to like his job of selling books and other products but it wasn't his dream job. He worked there for a little long than a year. At the age of 21 his grandmother passed away and as he thought about how he could keep a memory of her that would forever be with him , he came up with getting a tattoo.
Getting a tattoo seemed to have opened up what he had in mind all along. The perfect job had always been at the tip of his tongue but he could never quite understand what it was. As he lay in the chair to get his winged tattoo on his right chest, Nolan asked if the shop needed some help around it. To his un luck, the owner said no because they had enough people yet he did like his art designs when he showed him his notebook.
Having been rejected at the muggle tattoo shop, Nolan continued to search for a job and his eyes fell on a magical tattoo shop in Norwich and he applied for the job at the age of 21. Nolan was accepted as a salesman and worked in the shop to sell the piercings they sold as well. He worked there for a year , gaining experience in selling goods and his moving picture had been on the wall as employee of the month one time. But despite working at the tattoo/piercing shop he hadn’t gotten the change to work on the tattoo’s as well. He had been hired as someone who stood behind the counter and sold the piercings. In his spare time , Nolan continued to draw in his sketchbook and one day a colleague of him saw the drawings. She told him that he had potentials and that he should show his stuff to his boss. When the weekend was over, Nolan talked to his boss about wanting to work as an tattoo artist as well. He showed him his drawings and the man liked the pictures to the point that he agreed that another employee would train him. The ink training was done on a doll that moved every now and then. It took him a good three months before he had gotten the hang of it and even then it was difficult to make something on fake skin than a simple sketchbook. But as four months passed by and Nolan worked three days a week , 5 hours a day. He began to get better and better until he was able to make a magical tattoo on a real wizard’s arm. Nolan continued to work at the shop for four years.
Now that he could both sell the piercings and make tattoo’s when they needed help, Nolan wanted to use those experiences to go further. He decided to quit his job when he had enough money and at the age of 27 he had gotten himself a nice apartment in the middle of London, and Diagon Alley closer by. The wizard had heard about a new shop opening in Diagon Alley and went to check on it. When Nolan saw that it was going to be a new tattoo and piercing shop he knew that he should take this opportunity to get the job as an assistant and use the experiences he had learned full time.
