drain all the blood and give the kids a show
Regulus Black was born in 1961 to Orion and Walburga Black, two years after his brother, Sirius. They were close as children, both taught by their parents the merits of having pure blood. However, Regulus drank the superiority in while Sirius turned aside. Consequentially, Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor - while Regulus was a good little Slytherin. As teens, the brothers rarely spoke at home or in school, and after Sirius moved in with the Potters and was disowned (leaving Regulus the sole heir), they spoke even less. Regulus was a good student, and even though his grades in Potions were only passing from instances of cheating or begging his housemate Severus Snape for help, his other grades were impeccable, as was his student record. He wasn't well-liked outside of his own house, but he didn't feel the need for any more than that, anyway. He was the seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team, and a good one at that.
He had been following information on Voldemort for years when he fell in with the Death Eaters. This pleased his parents, so he soldiered on, taking the dark mark while still a teen. Though as more time passed and more and more things began to happen, he became severely disenchanted. Murder weighed heavily on him and so did Voldemort's mistreatment and attempted murder of Kreacher, his favourite house elf - that much was enough to turn him against the wizard he'd followed for years. But he had ammunition, now - he knew what Voldemort had wanted hidden, and Kreacher knew how to get at it.
Regulus made a copy of the locket and had Kreacher take him to the cave - he drank the potion personally, had Kreacher switch the lockets and let himself be dragged under the lake by the Inferi waiting there. Before he died, he ordered Kreacher to destroy the locket and never breathe a word about it to anyone, knowing that he couldn't disobey.
His secret died with him as he'd wished, though the Horcrux remained.
by streetlight this dark night
The Black family is - was - wholly dysfunctional. Regulus and Sirius were close as children, but grew apart with age, until they either ignored or hated each other depending on the day. Regulus was closer to his cousins, anyway - Narcissa and Bellatrix. Their own values were closer to his own, while Andromeda... Well, they never spoke of her much.
In school, Regulus had more acquaintances than friends - though he was fiercely loyal to his team-mates and those few he did see as friends.

While his personality has tempered with time and everything that's gone on in his life and death, he's still very 'better-than-thou' in a general sense - because that's how he was brought up, and that's what he's believed his whole life. His prejudices have waned slightly, though - he never did believe anyone should die, even if they are inferior, and now he's not so sure that the other sorts are even so bad in their own quaint little ways.
He can be kind to those he likes, but he's often more inclined toward stiffness and propriety. He has a very dark sense of humour, and uses the dry sarcasm that fits his type so well. If it seems like he's being too nice he's probably mocking you somehow.
there're things that i have done
Regulus is a very clean-cut young man - he's rich, and it shows. Tailored suits and robes, hair kept neat and tidy, so on and so forth. His hair is dark and his eyes are light - he's attractive in a haughty way, in the same manner that his brother Sirius is attractive. They look rather similar, though Regulus is a sight scrawnier than his brother ever was, at 168cm (5'6") and only a few more kilograms than a small yappy dog is whilst sopping wet. He carries himself well, and there's often a hint of green or silver somewhere on his person.
He has the dark mark on his left arm, but you probably won't see it. He wears long sleeves and keeps it covered, self-conscious of his past.
you never should ever know
He's a Wizard.
Anyway. He's very good at charms and transfiguration - he's also actually a rather good duelist. His potions are abysmal and his mental magic could use some work, but he's good at other things to balance it out. He made a very good copy of the locket that Voldemort had used as a Horcrux, so he'd have to be.
He knows how to and has done the three unforgivables, but he's not inclined toward using them any more.
and without you is how i disappear
