[CHARACTER BACKGROUND

• Born in the village of Kilrea, Northern Ireland, Kieran was raised as the middle child of three siblings, his older brother Thomas, and his younger sister Cally. Kieran’s childhood was never a picture perfect one. His father was a violent alcoholic and his mother had mastered the art of turning a blind eye to how her husband treated his three children. As the years passed, Kieran’s elder brother, Thomas became increasingly unstable due to their fathers now near constant physical abuse, until eventually Thomas snapped and set fire to the family home while Kieran, his little sister, mother and father were sleeping inside. Kieran was the only one in the house to survive, his mother, father, and beloved sister perished in the flames while his brother vanished from the scene and was never found despite several attempts to by the authorities. Due to the incident, Kieran has severe burn scars on the left side of his torso which he keeps hidden, as well as varying burn scars and laceration scarring on his face from his escape from the house fire. Due to his naturally pale complexion, the scarring on Kieran’s face is quite prominent, and he often tries to hide behind his tousled red hair.

[OTHER

• Will often stand out in the rain for hours on end as it helps to soothe the lingering discomfort of his burn scars that have never seemed to fully settle.
• Kieran will be generally polite but aloof with people he doesn’t know upon first meeting them, it takes a lot of time for him to warm up to people.
• Is extremely self-conscious and constantly tries to style his hair to hide the scars on his face (which usually means obscuring one of his eyes with his hair).
• Wears a lot of loose and baggy clothing as tight fitting clothes rub against the burns on his torso and cause him pain.
• Loves to play videogames.
• Purposefully got a job where he can work from home so that he doesn't have to be seen by his work colleagues.
• Kieran often suffers from night terrors and sleep paralysis.
