GROWING UP Ever since he was a child Kieran always knew how his life was supposed to play out. Go to school, graduate and then join the family business. It wasn’t a bad line of business to get into, it was actually quite interesting to him, it was just something about having his whole future planned out for him, living up to this great name that had been around for so long, related to people who had done such great things. As much as he wanted to live up to his name it also made his skin itch with the pressure of it all and it made him want to live it up while he could. He was second in the line to take over the shop, so what did it matter if he got a little out of hand? Lucien was born to take over, he was just the spare. All of that pressure needed an outlet so to keep from exploding he sought solace in music. It was a way for him to pour out his frustrations, to escape when it felt like the walls were closing in on him. Even after things turned around for him he kept up with it, finding it a good way to calm himself, especially in these uncertain times.
If you had to pick one word to describe Kieran it would be fun. That’s what his whole mission in life was about, doing whatever he wants when he wants to, be it parties, to chatting up whoever catches his eyes. It is this nature that tends to make him the life of the party, making friends effortlessly. Then there was his love life, he fancied himself a casanova of sorts, and his charm meant partners were never in short supply. He is always ready with a joke, trying to put those around him at ease with his quick wit and charm. Kieran can get distracted easily, often flitting from one thing to the next sometimes making it very difficult to hold his attention. It is a rare few who tend to get to see his more serious side but he does have one only pulling it out when the situation calls for it. This side is tied to his sense of loyalty which once given he is loyal to a fault. START OF THE WAR Kieran spent his Hogwarts career saying yes to just about everything, parties and any kind of mischief he could get himself into. Despite his antics he was smarter than most often gave him credit for and he deserved his place in Ravenclaw. The face he showed the rest of the world wasn’t the whole story, even as much as he just wanted to have a good time he didn’t want to disappoint his family and studied up on wandlore in free moments or when home soaking in all his father and grandfather had to share.
When the war broke out he joined the Order as soon as he was of age, though even before he was a supporter, his father and brother having told him about its existence. It was near unbearable for him to know of it and not be old enough, to sit by and do nothing and not help. While he may not have gotten all his family’s traits in this they were alike, they had woven their sense of morality and belief in good into him and he wanted to do his part. Some may have seen his antics at school as a bit insensitive, but it was one of the only ways he could keep his sanity while not being able to actively help, to distract himself. There was more method to his madness as well, in times of darkness people needed humor. You couldn’t be worried and sad all the time, you had to live your life despite the war, because of it, because you never knew which moment might be your last. PRESENT TIME
After graduation he fell into line with what was expected working at the shop during the day but his old self survived, using the night for mischief and parties when he could. Keep up the mood, the morale during the painful times of waiting. While not up to his old tricks he was working for the Order and continuing his education in wandmaking with his brother and father, experimenting with alternative methods his grandfather was none too pleased with but he bit his tongue. If they could find anything to give their side an edge it would be worth it. Given the unstable nature of some of the what and how they are experimenting, it has often led to him sporting some cuts or bruises the latter mostly from trying to track down rare components. This was his chance, to prove himself, that he belonged, and that he was useful for more than just a good time. He wanted it so badly he could taste it. The world as it stands is not one he wants for himself or those he cares for, he will do whatever it takes to help the Order succeed.
