AGE: Seventeen GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Seemingly asexual, in truth he doesn't give a care what gender you are. He hates you all. NATIONALITY: Technically, he's British, but he hates that. He's Scottish. PERSONALITY INFORMATION POSITIVE: In truth, Iain is a man who isn't afraid to voice his opinions and he will never back down from anything. He's STUBBORN as a mule, but that could be a good trait... in the end... Hopefully overall. Once he say he'll do something, he'll keep his word - no matter what. He stands up with his Scottish heritage and is very PATRIOTIC. He can even proudly sport a kilt because it's a kilt and not a skirt. He still have his Scottish dialect whenever he speaks - though refrains from using dialect terms for the sake of not explaining what he just said to others. No matter how much of a jerk or a strange man he is, there's always one defining trait about him that is never considered 'bad'. He's LOYAL as any man can be. He wouldn't think about turning his back against a comrade or even backstabbing them. You might as well say that he's just stubborn, but it's true, he'll stick will anyone who is his friend no matter how much it looks like he hates them. It's something not known to people, but deep down, Iain is a SUCKER FOR ROMANCE. He would have a closet (perhaps even more closets) full of classic romance novels (but nothing like Twilight or FIfty Shades of Grey). He would have books like "The Wolf and the Dove" and "Lady Chatterley's Lover". Yet... he knows better. Life isn't a fairy tale with a fairy tale ending. It's harsh, life is honestly a giant jerk - like himself. He likes romance, but he's realistic about it. He know better than anyone else. Of course, it would be expected that he would know better than anyone else. As good as he is with puzzles and problems, for a seventeen year old, he went through a lot. He's the type of guy to SPEAK WITH EXPERIENCE and let his actions speak for himself. Hey, if they don't believe any of the words he said, well, he'll prove them wrong. He likes proving people wrong. Give him a puzzle, he'll be sure to solve it, give him a math problem, he's still going to solve it. Of course, he's somewhat lazy, so don't honestly confuse idiocy with being lazy, because he just simply despises idiots. Now, look past the slight whiff of cheap alcohol and the lingering smell of smoke the man does have some CLASS. Perhaps calling him a gentleman is a stretch, but it is right there. The way how he would just look at you with his sturdy eyes, how he makes his voice purr, when he speaks, it's oh so calm and lilting at times. He might just be a scheming man, yet for sure there is some class in that man. NEGATIVE: Iain is a physical man, be it be that he wants to start a fight with you with punches or he's unintentionally physically abusing someone - he's a ROUGH man. He is not good with... advice to say the least. Yeah, if you have a problem like you need to hide a body, sure he can help you since he's a mastermind. However, with things like love advice, he's terrible. So terrible, he may just end up repeating Footloose - so CLUELESS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S NEEDS he is. He can get easily ANNOYED. So many types of people he finds annoying, one would say that he just dislikes people in general. He doesn't really think about punching that annoying person across the face or verbally insult him. Some people might don't like him because of these traits or the fact that he's CHEAP - or frugal in a nicer term. He isn't the type to be spending money all willy-nilly, and while this could be considered something good, he's really stingy with the money. In truth, Iain is TEMPERAMENTAL... very temperamental. It's possible, that in one minute he would be patting you on the back begrudgingly for support and the next minute, he can get annoyed and start yelling insults in your face. Yes, like that - like a woman forever trapped in her time of month. Forever emotional PMS. The man does not like talking about himself a lot, especially about his past and family, oh so SECRETIVE of him! There's a very fine line where he'll tell something and he will stop abruptly. He doesn't even like explaining himself for why he would do things. In truth, look back his rough exterior and you'll see that's he's always hold back something. Another snide remark, a certain look he might give you, the slightest curve of his mouth, and the fraction of a glance. He's always holding something back. Yet, it's often where he would hide it. Something out of place? Very... INCONGRUOUS? Well, that's true about Iain. He's a man that had built an emotional barrier around him, and other barrier around that. He keeps hidden that man inside of him. Everything everyone knows about him as just an act, a mask to hide his true self. It's very out of place, but no one notices it. Most would just think that he's a good guy if he would just stop with the smoke and drinks. He's smart enough to get a good position in life, yet he's probably just wasting it away with things that ruin his body. He's simply just hiding the true man inside of him: a MADMAN. He's CALCULATIVE, he has a cruel smile. He's constantly bored and he wants to be entertained. He likes watching things burn. He enjoys constantly poking at people's pet peeves, annoyance, or a weakness. He doesn't do it seriously however, he just wants to spark someone's fuse. He wanted to see something burn after all. He'll look you in the eyes, conveying a message about how he's simply looking down at you and until you have proven yourself. He's not going to the respect you deserve. The links to it, well... most of forgotten about it, most... but maybe... maybe it just simply started when... It's best not to discuss about it in all honesty. LIKES: ALCOHOL You know, children between the ages of five to seventeen are allowed to drink alchohol in Britain at home or at a friend's house with the permission of a legal guardian. It's also possible for teens aged sixteen and seventeen to order a meal with wine, beer, or cider on licensed premises in Scotland - without an adult. You can expect what happened next. BEING A JERK What can a guy do? He needs to find a way to keep him entertained, and being a jerk was one way to go at it. Iain likes poking that people's pet peeves to see their responses. CULTURE He likes learning about the different cultures that are around the world - he isn't a xenophobic and he's a well educated man. It's just that some are more... interesting than others to say the least. DRAMA Unknowing to most people, Iain likes acting. It's something enjoyable to do, and he is already good being who he really isn't. ENTERTAINMENT Who doesn't like entertainment and who in the world likes to be bored? Any source of amusement for the ginger is fine from reading to watching plays, listening to music to bothering people. Something to keep his mind free from just thinking of nothing. FIRE Fire is warm, it brings upon light. He isn't sure if anyone else has time same reason for liking fire... but he just like watching things burn. FRENCH AND SCOTTISH CUISINE He grew up eating the simple Scottish food, and somehow, French cuisine got into the mix. He still likes his haggis, but he enjoys a bowl of garbure just the same. HISTORY As he likes culture, Iain enjoys learning about history. It's amusing to think about how people have judged people based on history while they are just sitting there knowing that their homeland isn't at war or anything... Who are we to say that a man is guilty for following cruel orders when we ourselves are not placed into the same situation? LITERATURE Just as much as his siblings, Iain enjoys a good read of fiction, romance novels, and the classical writings of Shakespeare. Of course, he just doesn't know his vast knowledge of books. POETRY Poetry was something that stuck to the man, as he discovered his love for it while doing an assignment on Robert Burns. The man was brilliant with his words. SUSPENSE/HORROR/THRILLERS Out of all of the genres Iain has read, it's always the darker-themed books that he enjoys the most. Perhaps it's just because the man likes to solve the crimes that are presented in the book. LOGIC/PUZZLE GAMES They're enjoyable to complete. GROUPING You basically match an object with one or more characteristics, but the objects in grouping names can share attributes. MATCHING You match an object with another object with one or more characteristics, however they all have independent characteristics so none of them are shared. PROFESSOR LAYTON You cannot go wrong with Professor Layton. Period. SEQUENCING You are expected to use deductive reasoning skills to put clues together and come up with a sequential order for the subjects. MUSIC Iain appreciates all types of music (well, not so much for rap) and would be willing to listen to most of everything if he had the time and had the right people recommend it to him. CLASSICAL MUSIC There was a time in Iain's life, where the harp, choir, and even the Italian style of classical music had captured the man's attention in music. To this day, his interest still has not left him yet. JAZZ His mother often enjoyed listening to jazz, so it just grew up on the man. The only sad part was that there wasn't a lot of opportunities to play with international musicians. Tommy Smith is his favorite contemporary jazz musician. POP AND ROCK Like all stages in life, Iain was bound to like pop and rock - especially the Sensational Alex Harvey Band and Bay City Rollers. Call him old school to enjoy these old pop and rock bands, but he still enjoys them nonetheless. TRADITIONAL MUSIC It's brimming full of Scottish pride and Iain took it upon himself to learn how to play the bagpipes - yeah, take that. Anyway, it just gets his blood running and what's more... Scottish traditional music endured the 20th century - that's saying something. OUTDOOR SPORTS Being athletic is important for the redhead. Of course, even if he's not the greatest - it doesn't stop him. It helps him stay fit and it's helping him with his asthma. Yup that's true, working out helps asthma so get off of your bum and start running. CURLING It's always about competition and as much as the Scotsmen loved curling, hardly anyone really plays it. So, that right there was an easy win since there's no competitors to go against. CYCLING Iain enjoys the sights that flies past time while the wind is beating against his face as he's cutting in front of everyone and the cars. FOOTBALL No no no, not American Football. This is the true football - and it's a pretty good sport despite the fact that it was the English people who had 'invented' it. GOLF It's at a much slower pace than the other sports, but it still has the same tense feeling whenever there's a big game. It requires patience and a good judge of wind, distance, power, and everything else. SHINTY The older version of ice hockey - another name for Irish hurling. It sounds like a word everyone knows all to often. It was believed that J.K. Rowling came up with Quidditch as it was shinty that inspired her. What's more to say about the matter? ROMANTIC FRENCHIES Don't ask him about it - it's personal you know. SAVING MONEY Money makes the world go round and you need money to survive in our current world, having to pay for housing, food, water, sanitation, more food... It would just make a lot of sense to save the money, even if he was stinking rich. SIMPLICITY The man grew up eating rather simple food - if not terrible on those extremely lucky days. Having something so fancy seems almost like a curse because you'll have to be all careful about it and if it's ruined, it's almost lose its purpose - being fancy. SMOKING He started the legal habit of smoking at the age of sixteen - to who was giving him the cigarettes and cigars? Irrelevant, however he's trying to stop because of his asthma. Smoking is addicting. SPORT EVENTS It's fun to watch other groups of people compete with something they all knew about. There's no trick rules to deal with honestly when they're officially held. CELTIC CUP Simple enough, an ice hockey cup against teams from Wales and Ireland. Go Edinburgh Eagles! FIFA WORLD CUP ...What's not to like about FIFA? The whole world is united together with just one sport - football. It's not like the Olympics where Scotland cannot participate as an independent group or anything... TECHNOLOGY Iain likes techonlogy. They're so convenient in everyday life despite the fact that they're usually very expensive. LEARNING THE MECHANISMS The ginger likes to know how these machines work - as he is honestly curious about it himself. He might be able to make some things, but he's too busy to actually try. THE FAMILY It's complicated. WINNING ARGUMENTS Especially after arguing with a woman. Not to be sexist, but arguing with a woman is honestly one-sided... especially when its the males that tend to cower when the opposite gender starts to rant. WRITING LITERATURE No one admits it, but Iain is actually very bad at writing poems yet decent when it comes to short stories. DISLIKES: ANCHORING He doesn't enjoy to have anyone or anything hold him back from his ambitions and goals. In truth, he likes to deal with it before it can be a problem later on in life. ANNOYING PEOPLE Self-explanatory. ANSWERING QUESTIONS He asks questions out of need. He doesn't want to answer question that serves no purpose like, "Hey, is your hair natural?" or "So... why are you a grumpy man?" Honestly - learn how to be without noise and enjoy the silence. ASTHMA He can't smoke without it having a hard time breathing. It's annoying and the thing is hindering him down. BEING IN THE CENTER OF THE SPOTLIGHT Iain enjoys to stand at the sidelines and watch everything unfold. It's more of an observer unless he's the one actually picking a fight with someone. BRAVEHEART Historically inaccurate. It butches history for the sake of action. William Wallace was not like this at all. DEPENDENCE ON OTHERS Iain is a man who's stubborn to the core, thus he believes that he is fully capable of taking care of himself. He doesn't need anyone else to help him, he doesn't want to owe anyone favors. ENGLISH He's not an Anglophobic, he doesn't fear them. He just strongly... dislike them. CUISINE It's terrible crap. Worse thing he ever ate in his life. He doesn't want to eat any English cuisine in his life ever again. CULTURE So many ignorant masses, so many confusions - not all British people are English. English culture has barely any Celtic roots. HISTORY Who said that with the name, "The United Kingdom" no one is going to mistake England as the rest? Who said that despite the capital would be London, no one would be stupid enough to confuse The United Kingdom with England, Great Britain with England, and Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland with England? MEDICATIONS It tastes terrible. It's a waste of money. Nothing but a hot bowl of Scotch broth and a bed can't cure - aside from terminal illnesses. LIQUID MEDICINE With liquid medicine, you can just taste how vile the thing is. Too bitter, too sweet, too disgusting. Just screw it. PILLS Sure, you can't taste anything with pills, but in the end do you really need them to get better? No. Just rest for a day and everything would be okay. HIS INHALER Stupid thing - he doesn't need it. Nope, he does not need his inhaler - when did he ever need to use it? IDIOCY Because the world has enough idiotic people as is, why can't everyone educate them? Why can't they learn how to spell correctly? IGNORANT MASSES They believe they know everything they should know. Oh, they like to show off how much they know about the fact that everyone in Britain speaks the Queen's English, wear a fancy suit, and sip a wee cup of tea filled with boiled leaves and water. INSULTS ABOUT HIS COOKING His cooking is the best cooking there this. Don't question it, he hates questions that has no actual purpose. PEOPLE IN GENERAL Since faith in humanity was lost so many years ago. QUESTIONING HIS AUTHORITY (if he has any) He's right, he's always right. TALKATIVE PEOPLE Self-explanatory. THE FAMILY It's complicated. WASTING MONEY That money could have seen saved for something more important in the end rather than frivolous things that only attracts your attention for a few hours until you grow bored of it. OTHER INFORMATION HISTORY: Iain was a son between a wealthy man and a mistress along with other siblings. You can say that they had twins, and then he came along - both were not careful in all honesty. Things were still crazy as he claimed to see ugly short people that looked like those house elves from Harry Potter and even the Loch Ness Monster - no one believed him. It was a normal life until that it was discovered that these children where actually his. Yet, once the news had been told, the mistress left with only one of her children as the rest remained with their father. Of course, not even soon after came another son from the father and his actual wife. This son was Arthur Kirkland. Now, as they grew up, the siblings often argued with each other over the smallest of things and the biggest of matters. They hardly ever get along, and the moment they do, it's usually some sort of deal that not beneficial for each other on a long run. It was different from Iain bickering with his brothers, very different. This one was real to say the least. If you saw the ginger arguing with his brother, they'll perhaps be sharing food at the dinner table and causing chaos. Now, if he was bickering with his half-brother... they would still be at it at the dinner table. Of course, this could be rooted from the fact that Arthur did know about them being... well... 'half-brothers'. Yet, Iain already disliked him already. Yet, it was dismissed as them being just crazy children overreacting of the smallest of things. No one would really think that perhaps they really did hated each other (or that it was one sided). Yet, of course, as time went on and more tragedies happen, Iain steeled himself. Making barriers around barriers around his true emotions and soon loathed a lot of things while keeping a rebellious outlook on life. Of course, when he was thirteen... his step-mother had died. He was putting up a front, sure, she was nice to the children - even if they weren't even hers. He respected her for that, yet he shed no tears nor showed any sort of sadness. As they continued to grow up, live in the same mansion, and continued to bicker, there was that stage in Iain's own life that paralleled to his brothers and sisters. That punk stage. The children of the Kirkland family hardly ever share their opinions and thoughts about the similar genre of music they all enjoyed simply for the sake of not ruining it. They don't need an argue that would ruin it, and they were sensible enough to understand that - hopefully. At this, Iain already had his hair long - protesting against cutting his hair short - he too had piercing... more than needed. He was already rebellious and this was adding more fire into it - especially when he learned how to play the next loudest instrument compared to a bagpipes... a drum set. Of course, this was the time when Arthur really stepped up to the plate and started fighting back. Often times, getting Iain a bandage on his face and bruised knuckles (the same did go for Arthur too). Yet, all things must come to an end as the father went ahead and went on a vacation to France with his children. It was there that Iain cleaned up his punk act, despite how still of a rebellious kid he is. You can say that he made a friend in France and it helped him... in a way. Yet, they did adopt a girl named Cherelle... and honestly, Iain had no opinion of her. After their trip back home, somehow his little half-brother started to act all... gentlemanly and convinced his father to send him to Accademia Mondiale. Of course, he would have to be fair or else the rest of the family would make a big fuss about it... Which is why Iain was at this school now. Trapped in this little 'prison' of educational books and useless information that you probably won't use in life. HOBBIES: BEING A JERK It would count as a hobby because he does act like a jerk using his 'leisure time'. COOKING Simply because his cooking is the best compared to everyone else - no other comments about it. DOING PUZZLES/PLAYING PROFESSOR LAYTON Puzzles are enjoyable, when they stump you, they're still enjoyable. Iain likes to carry a DS to play his Professor Layton games. ENJOYING MUSIC It's relaxing at times depending on what kind of music it is, Iain isn't exactly picky in all honesty. FIGURING OUT HOW THINGS WORK It's intriguing to him and he likes to know how things work - like a fridge or even a flashlight. HAVING FISTICUFFS Nothing better than punching someone in a brawl. Be it for sportsmanship or just because he really does want to punch someone. PLAYING SPORTS It's another way to release his energy and he enjoys all sorts of sports, especially golf. READING ROMANCE NOVELS IN SECRET Shh, it's supposed to be a secret. WRITING SHORT STORIES/POEMS/ETC Some are good, few are great, most are actually bad in all honesty. by rimy ♥ of btn!
