The long version:

~ Rough It Up ~
Lorcan grew up in the slums on the edges of Funky City, living in a small rundown apartment he shared with his biological mother Gwen. He managed to stay out of the way and out of the attentions of the local gangs up through his sixth birthday and then he started getting hard lessons in sticking up for himself. When he was eight his father finally got angry at the fact that his son wasn’t sticking up for himself and always coming home with bruises and cuts and scrapes. So he took him up the empty third floor of the building. Evan got angry seeing that his son was learning nothing and gave him a particularly hard punch sent Lorcan over the railing. He ended up sticking the landing for about a second or two before he fell right over and cracked his skull on the hard pavement.

~ Defense, Fence and Ire ~
Lorcan meets his mentor, a local pick-pocket, after helping the kid out of a dumpster after a particularly nasty gang vs. gang fight. Sensing that all Lorcan’s muscle could come in handy his mentor, Fence, taught Lorcan all he knew of Martial arts and Hand-to-hand combat in exchange for use of Lorcan as a body guard. He specialized in Martial arts and with his self-schooling in gymnastics he became a rather nasty human weapon.

After a while Fence ended up picking a fight with the wrong kid from one of the gangs. Of course Lorcan meets the challenge to a fist fight. Of course it started off with them roughing each other up one on one in an alley. Throwing each other against walls and punching and kicking until the gangster pulled out a punching dagger and tried for a pot shot at Lorcan’s back. It must have been luck for the blade entered at an angle and ended up missing his spine by fractions of an inch. The gangster got the shiznits kicked out of him and Fence took Lorcan to the hospital to get stitched up.

As a result he ended up buying the twin knives he now wears tucked inside his boots. Each is a foot long with a solid stainless steel blade, handles carved from poached ivory and wrapped in black leather for an easier grip. He also started wearing black leather, fingerless biker gloves over steel knuckles

~ One of Us ~
Days later the leader of the Ire Gang came knocking with the excuse that since they had lost one of their best fighters to Lorcan he was to fill in the position and Lorcan accepted, with Fence on his heels. As part of the initiation ceremony into the gang Lorcan was told to choose a name for himself and ended up picking Sean Cathal meaning “God’s Gracious Gift of a Great Warrior”. To complete his initiation into the gang they had his upper right arm tattooed with his ‘gang name’ initials and the name of the gang. Form added effect and for his heritage he had tiny crosses put into the e and a’s.

~ Lost One ~
Lorcan’s father went MIA during the time Nepleslia was seceding from the Yamatai Empire. Nobody knows which battle or exactly when, just that the fact his body turned up eventually and he was listed as KIA and his family notified. Lorcan didn’t take this as hard as his mother did, not really having been close enough to his father to get attached.

~ Avid Reason ~
The only hells Lorcan had to live through after his father died was the names he was called after his father’s last name was released to the press. Mostly it was the fact that everyone was calling his father the ‘AWOL asshole’ that got him into the habit of taking any jokes or insults to his family name seriously resulting in flying fists and a bear of a temper he inherited from his father.

~ Escape ~
He managed to slip out of the gang and off to the military when he went with Fence on one of the boy’s several pick pocketing journeys. Lorcan left with the excuse of getting more drugs. Then made off for the stars and the shelters the Government offered, squirreling away with his penchant for mechanics and fixing things with his hands. Of course he was then trained to put his skills to further use and ended up here, a young, new maintenance mechanic with a future of possibilities ahead of him and a goal to become a humble business owner.

OOC Notes

- A complete history and personality will be completed [along with a spell check] upon making sure the rest of this is OKAY first. ^^

- Okay 6/7 on my skills should be good enough, I'll leave one open and let him learn something new 8D
- Yay Knives!
- Tattoo - Ire is the Gang's name, SC stands for Sean[Shawn] Cathal[Cath-all] [God's gracious gift of a great warrior] His 'gang name' chosen because of the fact Lorcan means 'Brave Warrior' Something he has been and can be.
- Not familiar with Funky City or SAOY's history time line but i'll see what I can do to make it sound convincing XD
 
The bio looks fine so far, although some marines might think a long-haired dudes is...well, gay.

I'm not sure what a ship's captain would think of having a snake aboard (knives are fine). Most Yamataian captains would not allow it, but Nepleslians are more wild. Ask the CO.

Skill suggestions (5 is okay but 7 is more (useful): Rogue (swiping items?), construction (building barricades and buildings)
 
Sorry about the last post ... power went out.

1. In family/creator: Geshrin, not Greshin. Also, ID-SOL, not IS-SOL.

2. In occupation: Maintenance, not matience.

3. "Thick-boned?" What exactly does that mean?

How did he crack his skull? (Explained.)

4. The scar on his back -- what's it from? (Explained.) And what does the tattoo mean? (Explained.)

5. Personality: Clever, just putting down terms like that. I approve of it! The personality is always very clunky to write, I find, as it's hard to keep history out of it. Good work.

6. Goals: What kind of business does he want to open?

7. History: Now, on the history ... You say you're going to write it out, so I'll give you questions to help:

a. What slums of Nepleslia? Funky City?

b. What was his father angry about when he tossed him off the building? Was he being anti-social, or defensive about something? Was something wrong with the father? If so, what was wrong? And why did the father throw him off? Was he trying to kill him?

Above all, though — why would he be so defensive about insults to his father's name?

c. Father was killed in active duty when, where and how?

d. What was the fistfight about? How old was he when it happened? Did he see the dagger first? If so, why keep fighting? Did he start carrying weapons as well as learning defense?

e. Who's his mentor? How did they meet? What kind of self-defense did he learn? What are his specialties? When did this happen?

f. What gang did he get into? And why did the let him leave for the Army without killing him?

Skills:

Skills look good. Pretty much the standard stuff. I like the extra math training; you're good in those fields, I imagine?

Overall: Pretty decent character, though he can't be approved without a full history. *thumbs up*

This character is pending.
 
Done ^.^ Lemme know if anything needs to be changed. I tried to answer all of the questions you left Doshii Jun.

And Wes, the long hair just makes for more fun when you have guys trying to hit on him before they realize it's a him and not a her. XD
 
I'm actually curious what the Nepleslian view IS on people who are gay. They do have a rather sizeable overabundance of males.
 
To make up for it, we have an exceedingly high amount of money going in and out of the adult entertainment industry. 'Nuff said.

*snorts, then breaks out laughing*

Someone would have to be certified, black-screen-viewing, _blind_ to not recognize an ID-SOL from a female human, long hair or no. These guys are similar-to or bigger-than Ah-nold Schwarzenegger in his Mr. Universe days. Even half-ID-SOLs are larger than normal.

lol, yeah I figured, but what if they're far away[From Lor], drunk and high on hormones after a long trip away from the *cough*adult entertainment*cough*? 0o *snickers*
 
*reads history, nods* Very nice. I think, when you transfer to the wiki, you should replace "press" with "local press" to give it some context (the entire planet likely wouldn't hear about this guy). It still doesn't really get to how he learned to fix things with his hands or why he likes it, but eh, you went through the character's history far better than I expected.

Very good work, sir. Thank you for your effort.

This character is approved for IC usage. Please wikify this bio, update your contact information if you have not already done so, and file orders in the appropriate comm thread of your char's faction.
