— MENTAL

ESFP-T The Entertainer
— "I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you surely don’t deserve me at my best." – Marilyn Monroe

Like the ocean, there is much to Kian — an often changing force of nature.  At his best, he is a simple pirate and soldier; a free and kind spirit who doesn't hesitate to step into the line of fire.  At his worst, he is a broken soul; torn asunder by much grief and hardship. 

He can jovial and welcoming, inviting as gentle waves, or cold and sad, harsh as a fierce storm.

POSITIVE TRAITS Calm, compassionate and steadfast
NEUTRAL TRAITS Determined, distant and smooth
NEGATIVE TRAITS Blunt, cautious and cynical

MENTALLY EXTREME While an often open individual, Kian's mind is a guarded place.  Growing up with trickier members of his own family and well-practiced in the art of mental manipulation himself, Kian is always prepared to protect his mind from attack.

BELIEFS & BEHAVIORS Kian is a pirate through and through; a true free spirit who firmly believes everyone deserves to be free too.  While he is also a soldier, and quick to fall into line, he only does so for someone who truly trusts and respects.  He will not follow someone he does not believe in.

Growing up a prince meant Kian was taught very early on how to be a gentleman and leader.  Despite turning to a free life on the open seas, this is still very evident in the way he treats others — unless he is given a reason to do otherwise, he is nothing but courteous and kind.  He trusts that the respect he offers will be returned, but is hardly put off when it is not. 

Even when something does get under his skin, he does his best not to let it show.  Kindness, to Kian, is real strength.  Furthermore, second chances are important to him, as he often refuses to believe someone is beyond saving.

— NOTES

Among the Fae of his home kingdom, Kian is called the TEMPEST PRINCE.
— Most notably for his affiliation with the ocean and fondness for sailing directly into storms

Kian is a full-blooded FAERIE, which is the cause of the apparent agelessness of his body.

POWERS Water elemental, clairvoyance, intangibility, invisibility, mental manipulation and communication, shapeshifting, teleportation, mental bond with Séamus, mental bond with Keona

KIAN Ó FAOLÁIN

But it hits me then
I don't quite remember
How your skin felt on my skin
I don't quite remember
All the little angles of your smile
It's been awhile
Thought that I'd always remember
But I don't quite remember
