Character Information
Character Common Name: Gannon Quinlan Arawn
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age (human equivalent): 25
Age (for non-humans): He is human… so he’s actually 25
Position in School: grad student
Appearance: Quin is a short relatively slim stern faced young man. He only stands about five foot five; and he has no muscles worth mentioning (he’s a bit lazy, you see). He has short read hair and ‘ear-tails’ that reach just a little past his shoulders. Quin has sharp blue eyes, which are hidden behind his wonderfully unstylish glasses (he’s pretty much blind without them). He doesn’t have any severe scars except a few that he perhaps picked up in childhood. Quin does however have a tattoo of a bird on his inner thigh. He also has a piercing in his left ear, both the tattoo and the earring a result of peer pressure. Quin, overall, is pretty but not the type any passing person would take a second look at.
Quin, in general, dresses rather simply or plainly. A white button down shirt or a white turtle neck, and black pants is what he almost always wears. Quin doesn’t have much of a sense of fashion, so his closet is full of white shirts, black pants, and the occasional interesting article of clothing. Now and then he’ll disrupt his boring trend by wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
Personality: Quin, contrary to how he generally looks, is a lazy lazy man. One of his favorite activities is napping. If he was in charge of how things in the world worked, he’d have school or work start at around one so he could sleep a bit more. Quin’s the type of person who enjoys having quiet nights at home, either watching a movie or curling up in his bed to listen to some music. While Quin can be an extremely lazy individual, he’s not opposed to going out and being social. If his lifepartner, Alastair, asked him, he’d happily go clubbing and drinking (he’d actually do a number of things if asked/persuaded by his lover, no matter how embarrassing said requests are).
Quin is also a kind hearted and somewhat nervous person. He tends to shrink back when conversations get to big or there are a lot of people, more then happy to remain in the background. He’s also extremely soft hearted and prone to feeling guilty about things that aren’t even his fault. Quin’s also very worrisome. If he thinks someone is upset, or hurt, he’s likely to go out of his way to see if he can help. And though he’s soft hearted big puddle of emotional goo, he isn’t mild tempered. He’s quite capable of getting angry. He usually fumes silently, but if he’s really mad at you, he’ll hit and shout.
Quin is also not a terrible fan of technology. He had a terrible fear of elevators for the longest time and would often take the stairs (a result of his brothers death). And he always has an awful time when dealing with microwaves and cars (but most of that is due to his forgetfulness. Leaving the lights in the car on or leaving things in the microwave for too long). And he’s not much of a fan nature, preferring to live like a mole and not see the sun. But, he really loves the rain and of coarse, the night where there’s no sun to blind him. And, as far as belief in magic and folklore. He’s not an avid believer. But he can be a might superstitious, thanks to his dad (like, he’ll throw salt over his shoulder sometimes when the mood strikes him).
Likes: His husband, alastair_arawn, music, and singing (He was once in a band with his twin brother (deceased) and friends). Quin also loves all things spicy, his favorite being curry. He, despite his almost timid nature, enjoys the company of louder people, or rather he’s used to being around loud people. He also enjoys a drink now and then. He won’t go out of his way to buy them, but if it’s out on a table the temptation is strong. He loves napping. He also loves cooking (though he can’t cook at all).
Dislikes: Confrontation. He also still holds a mighty strong dislike and fear of elevators, though he does take them now. He doesn’t hold much love for the sun (especially during mornings). He hates ghost stories, and extremely sweet things.
Magic Capabilities: None, unless you can count the magic of music. ... In otherwords, he has no magical abilities to speak of.
Personal and Family History: Quin hails from Ireland. He had a twin brother, Connor who was born with a heart problem; but Connor seemed to be well despite that. They were raised in a middle class family and lived a pretty nice relaxed life. Quin and Connor were practically attached at the hip. You’d never find either of the boys alone. Connor was always the more outgoing of the two, loud and brash and overprotective, live their father. And Quin was always the quiet one and, oddly, was treated like the ‘daughter’ of the family (of coarse he didn’t appreciate that at all).
Both boys passion from a very young age was music. He loved to sing and Connor loved to play music and the both dreamed of starting a band (or well, Connor dreamed of a band. Quin wanted to teach, but Connor convinced him to join in his dream). When they reached their teens, Quin and Connor and some friends started a small band. They played at little functions and at school. Quin felt as though his dreams were starting to come true, but then, when both boys were about 16, Connor fell ill and died. The band fell apart soon after that.
After that Quin became a bit more subdued and nervous. He also buried himself in his studies to distract himself. Once done with school and college, he decided to follow his dreams and become a teacher. And, as Connor had been interested in it for a time while they were young (and got Quin interested in it too... and forced him to learn Japanese with him), he decided to move to japan to get away from the still too near pain of losing his brother. He took a job at a Rozen Kruez as a music teacher which is where he met and fell in love with Alastair, the school nurse. He worked there for quite some time, until he felt homesickness begin to gnaw at him which was beginning to affect his mood (in addition to the regular stresses of teaching high school students). So Alastair, noticing this, decided to move them back to his home in Ireland so he could be near his parents and friends. It was then he decided he wanted to go back to school, as he really... didn’t wish to go back to teaching high schoolers. He decided to learn more so he could teach elementary school kids. When he found out his husband was going to be working at a local college called Esras, he decided to check it out. And soon after he decided to start attending.
