PERSONALITY Rían is isolated by nature and background. He is massively introverted. Especially in the wizarding world, where he still feels he doesn't exactly fit in. Rí can be moody and not the nicest to deal with at times, at other times he can be a downright prick. But for the most part he just stands on the sides wondering how the hell he tolerates people on a daily basis. When he first found out he was magical, he was scared of it all. All he heard from the Professor was that he would be Dangerous if he didn't go away to some school far away from his lil island and community he knew to learn to control it. As a fall out, he hates pretty much everyone and everything and can be difficult and distant. Or at least on the outside. He can be nice and soft when you crack him. It just takes a while to get there. He's a loner and prefers it that way. He doesn't let people in easily. Getting caught up with people is messy, and then you've to take their feelings into account too. He's intelligent, and creative when it comes to school work and the many instruments he plays, but he keeps all that under his hat. He finds it easier to keep to himself, get through all this and then he can return to the life he knows and loves more quickly. ORIGIN & RELATIONS Árainn Mhór Island – Arranmore Island, Co Donegal, Ireland. →Sharon O' Donnell - Mother. Very close with Rí. Stay at Home House Wife. Protector, but fierce woman. Gaeilgeoir (Native Irish Speaker). →Padraig 'Podge' O' Donnell- Father Now sees Rían as an oddity. Scared of him. Doesn't speak to him. Gaeilgeoir also. Local Police Sergeant for the Island. →Seanathair/Daddo- Grandfather- Deceased Sharon's Father. Was very close to Rí. Gaeilgeoir. →Domhnall O' Donnell- Older Brother Bigwig Business man in London. Close-ish, not too close because of the large age gap. Usually too busy for Rían, but more like a fun uncle. →Siobhan O' Donnell- Older Sister Was studying in Limerick when Rían was younger and now currently living in Dublin. Not too close. Thinks Rí is a bit of a weirdo and doesn't really get it. HISTORY Rían was raised as part of a small community on an isolated, strictly Irish speaking island off the coast of Donegal. The baby of the family and heavily looked after by his mother and hen pecked. The island is small and everyone knows everyone, Rían was comfortable there. He had has friends and was excited and ready to move onto the Secondary school on the mainland with them. Ready to grow up. Until one day a person they didn't recognise darkened their door, explaining how Rían was different. He was 'Dangerous' and needed to be sent away to control his powers. His Mam saw it that he was special, his Da didn't. It caused a rift in the small family unit and a disconnection from his Da. At the time, his Seanathair had stepped in and become much closer to him in the fall out. Turns out his best friend who runs the pub once knew a lad who was 'one of those lads' and he thinks Rí's talents are pretty cool. He didn't want to go to Hogwarts, but he was forced to. He always saw Hogwarts as something he had to do as a means to an end. As a student he has stuck to himself, just wanting to get things over with. He was not a stupid kid and it wasn't a surprise he was sorted into Ravenclaw. Pouring his attention into his studies, he got good grades, and it turned out he was actually sort of good at this whole magic thing. Not that it makes him enjoy it anymore. Through his time at Hogwarts Rí was still unhappy at being plucked away from the community where everyone knows everyone and being thrown in the social sea that is Hogwarts. He was awkward and never exactly did well in social situations. He had little to offer people but a boring cup of tea, and small talk about the weather really. He never had any friends, or invite any sorts of relationship, a lot of the time he probably known as the weird moody kid who. Even as everyone in his year seemed to be growing up and forming different relationships, Rían never really got it, even if there was some longing for it. He never clicked with people and decided it was easier just to stay away. He was an outside. Like the kid late to the party and trying to catch up. Rían is also a Gaeilgeoir, and would speak Irish more natively, especially at home with his family, but it's not like he can't speak English properly it was just another barrier for him at school as well as having very little insight to the Magical world. It's not well known but he plays a range of Traditional Irish Musical Instruments, and his extra secret talent is Lilting. He likes being by the sea as was his home. When he was at Hogwarts he enjoyed being by the lake. Or rather just outside in general. One thing that always got to him about the Magical world; as advanced as it liked to think itself, it was never much up on technology. During his summers home from Hogwarts when everything was working again for the most part he began tinkering with electronics. As well as giving him something to do after his 'friends' had all dumped him and he had finished his casual shifts at the island bar as a lounge boy, it engaged is brain in ways he never would have thought. However each year he went back to Hogwarts, it was back at square one and back to no tech again until the holidays rolled around. After graduating from Hogwarts in 2018, he found himself pursuing a IT degree at a DIT a Dublin Muggle university. It wasn't long before he took up some basic work here and there, still keeping his toes dipped in the Wizarding World out of necessity. Although below the radar and before the official declassification of certain Muggle Artifcats by the ministry; at times he was known to tinker with some Muggle tech, trying to adapt it for Wizards. Most of the time it was fruitless, but it didn't stop him trying. After completely his four year degree in Autumn 2022 he worked for a number of Muggle IT companies at an entry level for two years before, he moved to London and got a permit from the Ministry to officially do what he had been unofficially doing for a few years now. He dabbled in doing it for money as a secondary to a hobby, but mostly he just worked in a Music Shop in Muggle London. In 2025 as the Ministry launched their full new Technology division, Rían sat up and took much more interest. With his qualifications he was able to apply as a leader of sorts for their staff education sessions even though he did not directly work with the Ministry he had a wide array of experience and was able to impress heads of the department. However the arrangement wasn't strictly out of good will; Rían was just pleased he was able to get up close and personal with the mechanics and figure out how they worked with magic involved for his own benefit. Here and there he continued doing casual work on an as needed basis. As technology systems continued to roll out through the UK to the likes of St Munogs etc Rían worked on those projects as well, as difficult as it was to bring some people around to it. Slowly it became more popular with younger generations taking it on, and there was more of a need for his private services. Although he still does some work for the likes of the ministry or their departments on a private consulting basis he's found most likely in the back work room of his work shop. After his Seanathair died last year and left him a small fortune in inheritance he was able to put a deposit on a tiny shop in an alley just off Horizont Alley and pay off the mortgage bit by bit. Here he repairs things, can work with the customer to modify Muggle items to work with magic, and also resells older machines (Magic & Muggle), radios and the likes. From a less than legal point of view he dabbles in 'crypto-mining' and hacking for Muggles. Sometimes depending who asks he can also 'jailbreak' certain muggle items to work in the wizarding world that don't always fall under his permit. As disconnected as he is from the Muggle World, he's not entirely immersed in the Magical World either, despite living his life there for the most part. He's aware of all that has gone on in the last few years with regards to the news, but has stayed away from it from the most part; ignorant to keep himself mentally well. If he dwells on the shit part of the world too much he'll lose it all together. Recently he was contracted by the ministry to do some work on the IT system for the rebuilding of Hogwarts as a whole, building a mainframe similar to a university e-mail alert system for the students, for a hefty fee of course. Most of the time he lives his life in his shop, or in the flat above keeping to himself and enjoying the quiet life. WANT AD
