★ — ( AIDAN TURNER ) have you seen DANIEL MCGOWAN in the big apple? i think they’re THIRTY-FOUR years old and live over in THE BRONX. they’ve been living in new york for THREE YEARS and word is they work as an ELECTRICIAN. HE IS known as the RECLUSE. 

yooo it’s alex ( aka @rcmanc ) w a new character that you can read a bit about under the cut! ( tw for bullying, depression & alcoholism )

born in dublin, ireland to a working class family; his dad was a plumber, and his mum worked as a hairdresser. he also has an older sister. 

his older sister was basically his lifeline; she practically raised him because their parents were always working ( but nevertheless very loving & cherished the time they had with their children ) but especially so during school. skinny, unbelievably quiet and with a huge mop of hair, danny was the perfect target for school bullies, and would usually go straight to his room at the end of the day, resurface for a meal and then disappear again until the next morning.

it was during these years that it first became clear to him, and his family that he was depressed, though nothing was ever done about it -- particularly because mentioning such a thing would mean being blanked by dan for at least two days. so, he found his own methods of dealing with it, namely repressing his feelings entirely, putting on a brave face and drinking excessively. 

he left school at 15 and received surprisingly good ( everyone was expecting worse given how poor his attendance was ) grades in mostly higher level subjects, excelling particularly in maths & applied sciences. from there, he joined an apprenticeship program as an electrician, simultaneously unofficially learning his father’s trade at the same time. 

at seventeen he left home, finished his apprenticeship and started working for a small local company just outside of dublin. he bounced from job to job and place to pace within and outside of the city for several years, often being fired for unprofessionalism -- turning up to clients’ homes drunk, or not turning up at all. 

finally, he quit and bought a small flat not far from his home despite having avoided all contact with his family for the past twelve or so years. this was another time where what daniel would probably describe as a ‘dip’ in his mental health occurred, and he only left the house to pick up a box of cereal, some fast food or more booze. 

at thirty-one he finally visited his parents and sister, just to tell them goodbye and that he was leaving for new york. they asked why, and he couldn’t give them an answer -- primarily because even to this day he’s not entirely sure why he thought it was a good idea. but danny’s been living in the bronx for three years now, and two years ago set up his own electrical company with him as employee and employer; he’s available for hire as an electrician, but his store also doubles up as a repair centre amongst other things because he’s handyman af.

personality wise... he comes across as very much a grumpy, bitter person but he really is a marshmallow underneath several layers of blatant self-hatred and copious amounts of alcohol. stubborn as a mule, it’s a genuine problem but if he puts his mind to it easily one of the best friends you can ever have. danny likes to say that he can make even the worst person look as good as jesus, just by walking into a room. 

still disappears at random for days at a time and then reappears like it's nbd. wicked sense of humour, dry and quick-witted like nothing else. 

this got long af i’m,,, so sorry wtf. there are some stats HERE and some plots HERE and we should 100% do the Plot Thing
