Personality:

Seamus is a good guy who likes to plan and do things until he perfects them. He can be just like any other guy and go out of his way to make himself seem more of a manly man than the romantic he is deep down. He likes comfort and schedules that leave room for anything. Hanging out with friends, poker, and enjoying programs on television are his biggest pastimes and forms of relaxation. Seamus hasn't really dated anyone seriously and people are constantly trying to set him up on blind dates. What he wants most in life is to be better than he is. To be part of something that's not daily routines and growing old. He wants to become a werewolf. To sum him up he's a young man with big dreams.

Strengths: A dreamer who doesn't give up, Seamus takes his thoughts seriously. He's never backed down, given up, or changed his mind. He knows what he wants and he works hard for it until he succeeds. A true driven heart. Seamus is also fairly intelligent and a loyal friend. Always putting others in front of him even if they have let him down in the past. He takes care of his drunken father first and foremost even though the two have never been close. He works out daily, runs a mile in the morning and one in the evening, and is very healthy.

Weaknesses: He doesn't put himself first and is always helping other people that if one noticed they would be able to point out he never has much time for himself. If someone asks him to do something he has a hard time saying no. His friends often take advantage of him and he's not blind to it, but he doesn't do much to stop them. Seamus also has a hard time talking about his emotions and so he usually just ignores them till they build up and he gets overly emotional or shut down.

Appearance:

Six foot two and a hundred and ninety seven pounds, Seamus is tall and has a healthy muscular appearance to his body. He works out every day as well as swings his arms with heavy cleavers and such doing work at the butcher shop. His stomach is solid and he's got strong legs from the running he does. Thick brown hair and stormy blue eyes make him look more rough with his usually late a few days in shaving and thick caterpillar eyebrows that give him a certain kind of dower look he can't get rid of. Generally described as handsome.

Physical Flaws: He's got strong features all round that go together, but if stared at singly could be too much. A strong nose that while not large is still very noticeably central to his face. Huge eyebrows. Scruffy facial hair that isn't one shade but mixes of browns, blondes, and reds. His hair if not done properly can look as though its a mess, being so thick and long enough not to be long but not cut short at all. He has big hands that work a lot so if not of the use of lotion they would crack and be callused. Also, Seamus being the butcher often smells like meat and blood.

Dress Style: When he's working he usually wears t-shirts, jeans, and an apron that gets covered in meat juices, blood, and so on. If you catch him out running in the early morning or late afternoon he's wearing black sweatpants with black hoodies (or sometimes blue, depending on the weather and whether or not he's worried about being hit by cars and the like) and if he's relaxing he's wearing whatever is clean and a pair of jeans with hiking boots. Seamus does have dress clothes, but it's generally slacks with button down shirts.

Background

Seamus came to live with his father when he was eight years old and his little sister only six. His parents had never been married and his mother died. The town of Black Creek held his fathers family for many generations and he had a large family there. Despite his father being a drunk and the two hardly having any conversations for the first five years of his living there, Seamus came to love the small town. He was close with one of his aunts and her children and developed a group of friends. He learned about the werewolves and came to dream even at age eight of being like them. Even when he was a kid Seamus knew he was in love with Josie Tremane. She was two years younger than him but it didn't stop him from getting close to her. They were good friends and then she graduated and went to college. He made the decision that he wasn't going to lose something he never even had a chance of having, so he's been talking to the Pack's Alpha about becoming a werewolf. A decision he's been told not to take lightly, as it could kill him. Clearly since he never even told Josie about his feelings this isn't something he can just do. She might not want him. So Seamus has had that on his mind.

Currently he is The Butcher of the only meat shop in Black Creek which has regular large orders to Arcadia Manor he brings personally. His father is technically the butcher and the boss but he's always seriously drunk and never comes into work. Thus, Seamus takes care of everything with his sister working when he's out and about.
