Hobbies:Appraisal - Daire has an affinity for all things old, ancient, or interesting; he has a great appreciation for artifacts of eras past, and is capable of appraising both art and antiques. He has a very good eye and knows what he’s looking for, either in thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets or professional sellers. He uses this ability to acquire rare or expensive items for as low of a price as he can manage. His eye for this usually makes it easy to turn something of a profit.
Painting - Daire grew up in a family of artists, so it wasn’t a surprise that he developed an interest in painting as well. He has honed his skills over the years and it is one of the few subjects that he ever took seriously. He is particularly skilled with oil and watercolor paints, and is capable of making very similar reproductions of existing pieces. He has an appreciation for all fine art and has studied art restoration as well.
Flipping - An appraiser’s eye and an artist’s expertise means that Daire can breathe new life into old pieces. When broken down to core components, he can see the beauty even in the beaten down. As he regularly visits thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets looking for hidden treasures, he is often exposed to trash just waiting to be turned into treasure. He regularly flips furniture or old artwork.
Dance - The world of dance is constantly evolving, and Daire sees it as the best exercise. It keeps him limber and active, and the different styles are practical for developing balance and strength. He frequents a small dance studio and will try anything. He keeps himself in shape and is constantly pushing his limits. The effects of dance greatly impact his life; he tends to move in a fluid manner, and any physical activity he partakes in tends to have a bit of a flare. He practices parkour and tends to implement some style of dance into this as well.
Virtues: Charming -- Daire considers himself an expert flatterer and typically tries to fast talk his way into people liking him. He tends to present himself as very friendly and is generally considered likable. He always seems composed and his confidence means he comes across as unshakable. He takes great effort to be well liked and seems good at maintaining such a persona.
Compassionate -- Daire has been in tough situations, and he knows that it can be a struggle to work your way out. He doesn’t look down on anyone who just needs a little extra help, and when he can manage he always tries to give it. He is sympathetic to others and never goes out of his way to intentionally or unintentionally harm someone.
Clever -- Capable of approaching things from a different perspective gives Daire the unique ability to quickly come up with different solutions for any obstacle. He is quick witted and crafty, and not afraid to try different things to get what he wants. He can think outside the box, and regularly does; he doesn’t like to be considered predictable and often undersells himself to keep people on their toes. He seems nearly unflappable and
always has something to say.
Independent -- Unwilling to
need anyone, Daire has set himself up to be fully capable of taking care of himself. He is strong and determined, and will work for anything he deems
worth it. He is incredibly determined even in the face of failure, and constantly adapts to his environment to try and overcome any obstacles.
Flaws: Unreliable - Somewhat detached from his relationships, Daire keeps his friends and others at a bit of a distance. He is notoriously flighty and can flake out at the last minute for unexplained reasons. He doesn’t like to answer questions and deliberately keeps a distance. If someone else gets in over their head, he’s something of a fair-weather friend and can’t be counted on to be there for him. He prioritizes himself and his needs above others; when it’s convenient for him to help, he can, but if the going gets tough he can’t be counted on to stick it through for anyone else.
Reckless -- Daire
always comes first and has an immense need for self-preservation, but when the reward is too good, all bets are out the window and he will push through anything for the right prize. He is extremely confident and sometimes tends to overestimate himself. While his plans are typically well thought out and carefully coordinated, he is more than ready to take reckless action for a big payout. His unpredictability and cockiness makes him particularly dangerous to himself and others as he tends to disregard caution, especially when he thinks he is above danger.
Sneaky -- The less people know, the less they can interfere. The less risks. Because Daire is so independent, it’s difficult for him to easily open up or trust others. He tends to work best as a loner, despite his typically charismatic personality, and he regularly lies to cover his trails or keep people a certain distance away. There is a layer to him that few ever get to see, and his secrecy can be incredibly off putting and suspicious. He tends to skirt around serious question
Mischievous -- Daire is undeniably playful, and this can sometimes come with a negative impression once someone gets to know him, if only because his unpredictability makes it difficult to tell if he’s being serious. He can come across as playful or flippant about otherwise serious topics, and it easily gives the impression that he doesn’t care. He seems willing to get himself into trouble if only because he is so convinced he can get himself out, but that doesn’t always ring true for anyone he drags into it with him.
