DECLAN COLLIN GALLAGHER

'DECS'

TWENTY-TWO ✚ MALE ✚ HETEROSEXUAL ✚ 6'2" ✚ 164lbs ✚ DEC. 27 ✚ PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE

Darkened skin and a distinctively tall, compact yet muscular physique are the few things that people like to remember Declan by. He is an athlete in every sense of the word, meeting - or perhaps going beyond - the expected physique of an accomplished swimmer or runner. His bone structure makes it easy for him to match impressive strength with equally impressive flexibility, and long limbs serve him well in the athletic department. His skin is as dark as the sun would allow, accentuating his dark blue, almost black hair and sharper purple eyes. Declan is an individual who, while considered quite attractive, cares very little for his own appearance. He does however, care about the manner in which he smells. A frequent swimmer, Declan attempts to (but fails) in masking the mild smell of chlorine on him with deodorant; thus, he will almost always smell faintly of a surprisingly not-so-bad combination of lemons, peppermint, and swimming pool.

Declan is a womanizer, albeit a happy one. It's no secret he tries to ask every girl he meets out on a date, or at ask to escort her from place to place. He has a charm about him that makes him easy to approach, but difficult to fully comprehend. He has a few commitment issues when it comes to dating, but isn't as malicious as most womanizers are interpreted as. He bears no ill will, just obliviousness in his actions. Reserved as he is however, Declan hides a rather nasty secret.

FAMILY ✚ Seamus Gallagher (father - forty-eight), Hannah O'Malley-Gallagher (mother - forty-seven), Logan Gallagher (brother - eighteen)

Ask a nine year-old Declan Gallagher if he ever thought he would wind up in New York City. The answer would've been a definite no, yet he finds himself sitting here this very day. Declan has traveled a long way - from Lanarkshire in Scotland to London in England and now the concrete jungle. As a boy, he was fortunate enough to be able to move - with his family - around the world due to his father's job as an accomplished business magnate despite his mother's protests for a stable homestead.

Regardless of their occasional disagreements, Declan looked up to his father as a good man: Goofy, sentimental, and even playful for a rumored ruthless businessman. Declan's mother, a more tempered, mild-mannered housewife, was more popular with the kids as the mediator between the ridiculous and the commonsensical of the household. Either way, both parents were loving individuals who brought their children up with love and care as expected of them.

Declan grew up an athlete compared to his studious, logical brother. He would dabble in all manners of physical conditioning: martial arts, archery, basketball; rarely will you be able to find a sport that Declan has not yet tried himself. Unlike his brother however, Declan never had a stable job on his mind. He went from taking a position in his father's company to a gym and even a convenience store. In the end, his father had to begrudgingly pull a few strings to place Declan into a competitive swimming league.

He moved away from his parents' more luxurious place a year ago under the pressure of his more promising younger brother and the ever-present disappointment of his father.

To this day, Declan has changed little. He remains childlike as he were, but equally secretive. And rumors circle viciously in whispers that he himself was involved with something a little less legal. Gambling? Stealing? Only time will tell if these are true...

Declan lives by himself, having given up on living with his parents a year ago. He still visits from time to time, but prefers to stay in his sizable penthouse-like apartment complex to show off his independence. Unfortunately, Declan has had the 'joy' of getting involved in gang business due to some irresponsible spending in the past months. He has become an addicted gambler, you see, and these habits die hard. His problem was 'doing too well', otherwise known as cheating at the table. While he isn't in too deep, Declan still finds it difficult to kill the compulsion.

A few personal quirks include his Scottish accent that, while usually mild, surfaces when he becomes angry, his ability to hang off every branch-like object - typically trees, his bottomless black hole vacuum of a stomach, and his abrupt power naps. He can and will fall asleep in the middle of conversations.
