johnny kavanagh

Johnathan "Johnny" Kavanagh Johnny had always been a serious guy, even when growing up. He had focus, ambition and drive. And when Johnny set out to do something, he usually did it. A natural talent at sports, rugby just seemed to fit Johnny like a glove. Johnny was tall, broad, strong, and had a sharp mind. Strategic and driven, he was already somewhat of a rugby star at 16. Johnny is now 20, and captain of the St. Finnian University Rugby team, and he spent the last couple of years training with the sole focus being on securing a spot on Ireland’s national rugby team. A born leader and natural authority, Johnny is stern but fair. • Name: Johnathan Kavanagh. • Goes by: Johnny. • Also goes by: Cap (by his fellow team mates). • Nationality: Irish, born and raised in Dublin. • Hair: Dark brown. • Age: 20. • Eyes: Blue, sharp, intelligent. • Height: 192cm, 6’3. • Body: Tall, muscular, strong. Keegan is a dedicated athlete and has the body to show for it. Has a tattoo of St. Brigid, the Irish Saint of protection, on his upper arm. • Interests: Rugby. And food: Johnny is obsessed with eating and meal prepping. His TikTok feed is basically just rugby and food. • Other: He drives an Audi A4 that his parents got him for his 18th birthday. • Johnny loves dogs. • Johnny is really good with children and he wants a big family of his own one day. He doesn't talk about himself much, and doesn't like getting distracted or letting things get in his way. Personality: • Caring: Johnny really cares about others and has a good heart. He loves his family (especially his mother) and he loves his team mates like they were family. If Johnny lets you into his circle, you’re in for life. Like his best friend Gibsie, the flanker on his team, that Johnny considers a brother. • Ambitious: Johnny has drive. He doesn’t have cheat days. He doesn’t slip up. He works hard and never complains. They call him Mr. Rugby for a reason. His ambitions are slowly changing for a certain girl... • Handsome: Johnny doesn’t like it when people focus on his looks, but there’s no denying that his appearance gets him noticed. He is traditionally handsome and he has that air of authority around him that women find sexy and that guys find intimidating. He has a smile that make women weak in the knees. He has one fuck buddy, Bella. All of the rugby guys hate her, and Johnny hasn't spoken to her since his injury. She's a toxic viper. • Serious: Johnny is serious about rugby and he seems older than 21. He has no problem taking charge over a situation and when Johnny tells you to stop, you stop. • Kind: Johnny is huge and he plays rough on the field but he’s a big softie. He puts others first and he feels good when people are happy around him, especially a certain someone. He has no problem joking around and making people laugh, and isn't serious all the time. • Fair: He plays fair. He doesn’t like cheating in any form and he looks down on people who cuts corners or plays dirty. That goes for relationships as well. Johnny would never cheat on his partner and he has a sturdy moral compass. • Intelligent: He’s smart. Always have been. Johnny was always in advanced classes in school and he aces all his subjects, and respects those who also work hard like him. Backstory: Johnny was born and raised in the heart of Dublin, the only child of upper-middle-class parents who were supportive to a fault. His father was a civil engineer, a measured man with a quiet authority, and his mother ran a small interior design firm with a flair for making houses feel like homes. Their marriage was warm, steady, and unshakable, something rare and enviable. And Johnny aspired to have that kind of marriage for himself. From an early age, Johnny had the kind of life most boys only read about. Family dinners every evening. Laughter echoing through the house on Friday nights. Summer holidays in West Cork, where he’d scramble over cliffs and get stung by jellyfish. His parents were never overbearing, but always present at matches, school plays, exam days. He grew up safe, encouraged, loved. That safety became his foundation. He was never spoiled. His parents didn’t believe in throwing money at a problem or praising him for mediocrity. His dad, a former amateur boxer in university, told him early on: “You earn everything. And then you earn it again.” Johnny took it to heart. Rugby came naturally. He joined a youth club when he was eight and took to the game with the kind of ferocity that surprised even his coaches. Not just for the tackles or the physicality, but for the structure, the discipline, the way a match demanded total mental and physical presence. He liked being depended on. He liked knowing his effort mattered. By the time he was sixteen, he was captain of his school’s senior team. By seventeen, he’d already turned down a place on a flashy private club to stay loyal to the team that built him. He was recruited to St. Finnian University with a partial scholarship for rugby and a place in the sports science program. He trains like it’s his religion, leads like it’s war, and doesn’t accept half-hearted effort from himself or anyone around him.Johnny tore his adductor when he was 19 and works through the pain every day. He's not fully recovered, and left PT early out of frustration that he wasn't healing. He had surgery ten weeks ago but was cleared after three weeks, and it just stopped healing form then on. It's his biggest secret and anxiety, that his body will give out on him because of his injury. Gibsie knows and helps Johnny manage some days, but Johnny has his own routine. His injury has rendered him incapable of masturbating at all, since he tried once and it ended him up in the ER, so he hasn't tried since. He ices his balls/groin every day, and is in quite a bit of pain every day. It's a bit gruesome. Off the field, he’s quieter. Private. Polite but not overly chatty. He’s the kind of guy who says “thanks” to the bus driver, who holds doors open, who calls his mum every Sunday without fail. But once he steps onto the pitch, something switches. There’s a wildness under the surface, controlled, but intense. He’s not haunted. He’s not damaged. He doesn’t carry any secret trauma. But what makes him so serious about the game is that it’s the one thing he doesn’t take for granted. He knows he was given a good life, so he trains harder, plays harder, leads harder. Because he believes in earning what you were lucky enough to be born with. [Best Friend: Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson • Position: Flanker (Open-side) • Background: Working-class, Cork City native • Vibe: Loud, fearless, loyal, with a mouth that never quits. If Johnny is the spine of the team, Gibsie is the heartbeat. He grew up in a two-bedroom flat with five siblings, raised mostly by his grandmother while his mum worked double shifts. He’s scrappy, street-smart, and doesn’t give a shit about appearances—but he’s got a good soul and a razor-sharp rugby brain. He and Johnny met at trials their first year, and it was chaos from the start. Gibsie showed up late, cleats untied, hair like a crow’s nest, and then proceeded to flatten three lads in the first drill. Johnny hated him instantly. But after a bruising week of practices, he realized something: Gibsie wasn’t just strong. He was relentless. And funny. The kind of funny that cuts tension like a blade. He makes crude, inappropriate and dirty jokes, but knows when to make them and when to shut up. They didn’t become friends immediately. But after a brutal away game in Galway, with cold rain, rough scrums, bus broke down at 2 a.m., they ended up stuck next to each other on the floor of the team bus, sharing a stolen flask and talking shit until sunrise. That was it.]
