Character Info:

Name: Kerry O'Seanaughsey
Age: 25
Hobbies/Passions/Interests (no lists please) : Kerry has a wide variety of interests hobbies and passions. He is a firm believer that a strong body without a strong mind is useless. He likes sports, but doesn't care if he's any good or not, he plays just for fun. Quiddich, but he also enjoys muggle soccer and rugby. He runs every morning and prefers to be active. That being said, he also enjoys spending time with a good book. He has a secret love of poetry and a fondness for writing limericks. Kerry also enjoys music, both listening to and making. He plays the piano, fiddle, bodhran, guitar, and harmonica. Really, Kerry will try anything and usually try it twice.

Physical Appearance: Kerry's sort of a boy-next-door sort. Although he has hair red enough to be illegal, and easy enough on the eyes, his relaxed demeanor and smattering of freckles undermine any attempt at sexiness. He's right around six feet tall with a lean, wiry build. A lifetime of sports and three years of auror training have left him with a very nice physique. He is very pale and burns easily, though he freckles first. He wears his hair long and usually pulled back in a neat ponytail. He tends to dress casual and in muggle fashion, he always wears jeans. The reason for this is that his right leg has been amputated above the knee. He wears a high tech prosthetic, and the heavier denim hides most of the visual differences that would show under slacks. He wears wire rimmed reading glasses on occasion. He also has several tattoos, most of which are generally hidden under his clothes.

Personality: Kerry is a kind and laid back kind of guy. He uses humor, generally as a defense, and is quick to make fun of himself. He tends to tease (gently) people he likes and would, generally speaking, laugh at a funeral. He is capable of being serious though, and is pretty good at knowing which reaction is appropriate. He's the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, and rarely holds a grudge. When he gets angry though, he gets very angry and is prone to getting in a brawl, luckily it takes a lot to get him truly mad. His biggest fault is not knowing his own limits, physically, emotionally. He'll push himself to collapse, and then feel bad that he wasn't able to take on more. He's used to being a pillar of strength for his family, and any time he is forced to admit something is too much or more than he can handle, he feels like he's somehow failed. He also has ties with the IRA, and is a very vocal Irish Republican, which has been known to be the cause of some of the occasional brawls he's been in.

Background information: Kerry was born to a mixed muggle/wizarding Catholic family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The oldest of six, he took on the role of the man of the house at the age of ten, when his father was killed while involved with the IRA. He was hesitant to go off to Hogwarts when his letter came, taking his responsibilities to his family very seriously. His mother, who was a witch (though not a very good one) wasn't about to -not- send her boy to Hogwarts and insisted. He struggled to fit in his first year there, and got a reputation for fighting, quick to get into anyone's face who said something he found offense about The Troubles. Second year, he managed to straighten up a bit, and make a couple of friends. That summer, though, his mother was killed and he was maimed in a car bombing in their Catholic neighborhood. Kerry lost his leg and was in a coma for several weeks. He and all his siblings moved in with two uncles. He spent that year being home schooled and recovering from his energy. Although he had been physically active prior to his injury, as he started to heal he became almost fanatical about it, refusing to accept that he would be in anyway limited. Because of this, he works very well with his prosthetic, and it's hard to tell he uses one. He came back to Hogwarts in his fourth year. Things went a little smoother for him after that as far as making friends.

That wasn't all though. There was another bump in the road, around his fifth year, Kerry started to realize he wasn't like the other boys. After everything else, and managing to cope with the rest of his life drama, this he really struggled with. At the end of the day, he came around and by the time he graduated from Hogwarts he was comfortable with who he was. Although he mostly identifies as gay, he's dated a couple of women. So far none of his relationships with anyone have panned out though. Everyone likes him just fine... until the clothes come off. Kerry's pretty much come to the conclusion he will forever be a bachelor.

After Hogwarts, Kerry attended the auror academy, and despite his physical challenge, he succeeded, keeping up with his classmates. Once he graduated though... the ministry refused to hire him. It could be that he's missing his leg. It could of been his paramilitary connections. Whatever reason, though, it was yet another major blow. After that, he gave the wizarding community the middle finger and slipped with a fair amount of ease back into the muggle community, all of his brothers are muggles, only his sister showed any other magic talent, and only one of his uncles was a wizard, so it was an easy enough transition. He went to a muggle university and got a degree in education.

Muggle and magical degrees in hand, he's finally entering the workforce. He is applying to hogwarts for the DADA position, eager to find a way to combine both strands of his higher education.

Also, if it's okay with the mods, I was hoping Kerry could be a animagus. He'd be an Irish wolfhound, reddish tinged fur, minus a hind leg. It can be either registered or unregistered, I'm pretty flexible

((Hopefully that's everything, let me know if you need anything else!))
