Gender & Sexuality: Male - Heterosexual
Appearance:Devlin is well muscled with particularly strong shoulders and arms from his time working in the forge. His hands are worn with calluses and rather large but surprisingly light and gentle when tending to small children or animals.He's a bit on the tall side of average and can seem rather intimidating at first glance because of both his height and broad shoulders. His hair is a light sandy brown and while he tried to keep it short for comforts sake (forge's were hot and now it's just habit) it has a tendency to curl up at the ends creating a rather roguish or mussed look no matter how much he tries to flatten it down. He is typically well tanned from spending time outdoors and has pale grey eyes and a strong jawline.
Devlin would likely be considered 'imposing' or 'striking' rather then outwardly handsome and this impression is only punctuated by a scar that runs across his left shoulder and part of his chest.
Personality:Calm under pressure - Devlin is not one to panic at the first sign of trouble , nor one to stress out when a deadline approaches, as far as he's concerned stressing out about things isn't helpful, the only way things are going to be handled in a timely efficient manner is to sit down and logically figure it all out. And he will figure them out...he will devote as much effort as necessary to do so.
Loyal and Protective - Once you have been named friend then you can rest assured that Devlin will always be in your corner. Devlin would run through fire to help a friend in trouble and when it comes to females it's even worse..perhaps it was growing up with two sisters but this guy simply cannot stand to see a women being berated, even if he doesn't know her Devlin will come to her rescue..weather she wants it or not. A trait that could either get him the reputation of being a white knight or a bothersome irritant depending on the situation and who you might ask.
Strong Work Ethic - Devlin gets the job done...as long as the job has a point to it. This is not the guy to send out for silly pointless errands, he has better things to do with his time you know..but when it matters, when it's important... or if you really need it then Devlin will see it through.
Slightly Pessimistic - Although Devlins likes to think he has a good outlook on life and will certainly tell people that it's all good, truthfully, in his own mind things are a little bit different and he is far more prone to seeing the bad in a situation then the good. This is not always a bad trait..as it makes him observant and aware when it comes to troubling situations but in everyday life it makes him a bit of a perfectionist, anything 'bad' tends to stand out like glaring flaws in the perceived perfection of his mind and he's never really happy until such things are fixed and it gives him the tendency to think that those around him are expecting him to fail, something that he is a little bit paranoid about.
Socially Reserved - If your looking for someone who likes to party or drink or spend time at social functions - Devlin is not your guy, he's most definitely a work before pleasure sort of fellow and unfortunately, with Devlin, the work never seems to end. This can make him seem aloof and sometimes cold to those who don't know him and he tends to have only passing patience for those wile away their time in less productive pursuits.
Emotional Bottler - All that time remaining cool and collected under pressure has to have some sort of side effect right? Although Devlin seems to have a long fuse and sometimes infinite patience, the truth of the matter is that he's just internalizing everything and eventually it will all come out in some form or another and when Devlins fuse eventually blows it's kind of scary. You know what they say...you should always worry about the quiet ones.
Likes:
Solving Problems - Devlin is never happier then when he's finally able to crack a problem he's been working on.
Efficiently - There's not much that can make Devlin more irritable then a task that is taking twice as long as it should because someone didn't think things through properly.
Keeping Busy - Devlin really doesn't know what to do with himself when there's downtime, he's far happier with a nice list of things to work though.
Dislikes:Slackers - Everyone has a job to do and everyone should get it done.
Lying - Devlin can't abide it, in any way shape or form..once should always tell the truth or say nothing at all.
Cruelty/ Bullying - Needlessly tormenting others is a quick way to get on Devlins bad side.
Smithcrafting - There is a deep hatred of this craft..though not of the people who learn it, just as long as he never has to go near a forge again.

Dependable
