Bio:

Name: Cian (KEE-an) McDodd

Nickname: none

Age: 33 (December 3, 1975)

Birthplace: Mysteria, North Dakota

Sex: Male

Occupation: Lawyer

Appearance

Roughly 5'10, Cian has a naturally athletic build. He works out to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Nothing too much though, considering he's no body builder. Though his eyes are a bright, rich ice blue, they retain a measure of kindness and are in no way menacing or cold. One could say they even twinkle when he's truly happy. He's got a smile that would light up even the dimmest of sorrow. He usually keeps his hair a little messy and likes the appearance of it being a bit ruffled, although he keeps it neatly brushed while at work.

When not in business attire to look presentable in court, he wears a lot of ripped jeans. It doesn't matter if he's sporting a vintage concert tee or a comfy sweater. He still wears those old, faded ripped jeans. In the winter, he has this black knitted snow hat. Though he loves it, it gives him a funny looking sort of appearance.

Personality:

Charismatic. He's not necessarily charming, but a person would generally enjoy his company. Oddly enough, his lingering Irish accent (thanks to his parents) is quite attractive to most women (he honestly doesn't see why though). One thing to note: although he the accent isn't domineering like with his folks, he always says 'me' in place of 'my'.

In his teen years, he was brazen young man. He wasn't shy about letting a pretty girl know he liked her. He wasn't really a ladies man or popular, but he wasn't unknown. More like he got along with mostly everyone. Like many of his siblings (and perhaps because of them), he had a very competitive attitude. He wasn't afraid to joke around comfortably with people, seeing that growing up, he was raised in a very close-knit and open family.

In the years following his departure from Mysteria, he grew up quite quickly. With the early birth of his son, he became more mature. His teen attribute of unabashed nature waned with fatherhood. His ability (healing, but more on that later) taught him the meaning of being secretive and has thus learned that being so open with people wasn't so simple anymore.

Past events (see history) have made him very touchy on certain subjects. It's best not to bring them up in his presence. He tends to flip out over it and if provoked, it's not difficult to get into a fist fight with him. He'll warn you once if you are unaware, but that's it. Actually, he's liable to hit you first if you mention it again, so tread carefully on his taboo subjects. And all that tenseness on those taboo subjects bleeds off into his overall personality. While he's a more tense person these days, he still retains a glint of that charisma and competitiveness of his teenage years.

Special abilities/talents:

He's somewhat athletic. All through junior high, high school, and in early college, he was an avid soccer player. He also has a good bit of common sense on his side, so when one approaches him for advice, you can count on him to give to you straight (while in the most unharsh way he can).

Supernatural Affinity

Species/Group: Faith Healer
Power(s): Healing, of course. But it's not that simple. There's no rhyme or reason as to how or why he has this ability. Other than his twin sister, Ivy, no one else in their family could do it. With a touch, he can mend the scraped knee of a child or pull the cancer right out of a someone. But it doesn't come without a price. When he heals, depending on the gravity of the illness or wound, it takes away from him. It drains him. Not only that, but the design of life and death can't be toyed with. For every ying, there must be a yang. Now for a simple thing, like a small flesh wound, the plants nearby may die or the neighbor's house lights may flicker. It has it's effect on him, but for such a small thing, it's not a significant difference. But for something big, like preventing death, who knows what will happen? Sometimes someone else dies. Sometimes a bunch of people suddenly fall ill for no reason. It's also important to note that after performing such a feat, he needs time to recuperate. To him, it feels as though all the energy has been drained from his entire body. If he doesn't give himself the proper time to rest and regenerate, accompanied by such a loss of energy, his body could very well just shut down and stop working all together.

One of the perks though, is the fact that he himself can't retain an injury. That doesn't mean he can't be killed. He's still only human, after all. As long as he's got a breath in him, he can heal and survive. Granted, something like that would take some time. But as for bumps, bruises, gashes, or broken bones, they're usually unnoticeable by the end of the day.

History:

The second youngest of five children, Cian was born and raised in Mysteria. Growing up in a town like that, it's only reasonable for one to have an open mind to the limits of the unimaginable. Too many things over the years happened to make those of the family believe otherwise. The family wasn't supernatural to their knowledge, but of course, that's not the case.

It started a very long time ago in their family. In the early 1800s (as far back as the family tree can be traced anyhow), there was one individual that marked the 'special' part in the family. Louis Cullen, a young sheep herder in Ireland, was also a healer. Little is known about his life or whereabouts after the age of 19, but clearly he had at least one child, seeing that the bloodline exists today. Louis' secret went unknown, and there wasn't another healer born in the family until Cian and his twin sister, Ivy. Cian has no knowledge of this past ancestor. Not his supernatural ability anyhow.

His parents (and his mother's mother) came to the states at the beginning of their marriage, seeking to raise their future children in the land of the free. They went straight from Dublin, Ireland to Mysteria. Almost immediately they noticed the strange happenings there, but were intrigued by it so they stayed. Their children came in quick succession the next five years. Starting with the oldest, it went boy, boy, boy, boy, girl. The latter of the children where the twins, Cian and Ivy.

From birth to now...

Flaws

'Taboo' mean anything to you? Hopefully so, because if you bring up something 'taboo' to him, he's likely to give you a nice shove, if not a firm right hook. Furthermore, you're probably wondering what these taboo things are? Anything to do with Courtney, ranging from something as simple as "Why didn't you graduate from college with your sister's class?" to "Where's the boy's mother?" A snide remark about her will most definitely earn you a bloody nose.

You think Britney was over protected? Ha! Cian is obsessed with protecting his son. Ewan is all he has left of Courtney, not to mention, he's his boy! He was very young when Ewan was born (resulting in him becoming very quickly attached to him) and accompanied by the disappearance of his girlfriend, he's become VERY protective of his son. Like a momma bear and her cub.

Speaking of being over protective, he's also a tad necrophobic (the fear of losing a loved one {Reference}). If he were to lose sight of Ewan in a crowded store, he would LOSE HIS MIND. Same goes for his twin, but more so for his son.

Merits

Got a problem? Some worries that have you down? Cian is your man. He's a compassionate listener, due to his natural ability as a healer. Not to mention, you'll always feel better after spending a little bit of time with him for some unknown reason (not known to you anyway).

He's a family man. Because of the close-knit and relaxed atmosphere he grew up in, he had a close relationship with his son. They have good communication, which he also had with Courtney. He believes communication and honesty are the keys to any successful relationship. (Though this doesn't mean he's open with everyone else like he used to be in his youth.)
