Posting for another participant Image See more Name Ciann Keenan O'Mahonny Age 35 Ethnicity Irish Bio Born in 1877 in the Irish region of the Connemara to a catholic family empoverished by the great Potato Crisis of the 1840s, Ciann grew in a rural area with his seven siblings in one of the most important Gaeltachts regions with gaelic as native tongue. As such, in 1890 at the age of thirteen, after thirty years of work from his grandfather, vanished to the New Continent after the Great Famine, and whom he only knew from the occasional letters in english the local priest would translate and read to him, his entire family could afford a passage to the Land of Opportunity. In this case, Chicago. As he descended from the monstrous boat that vomited out a horde of wishful immigrants, enthralled by the idea of a new beginning in this promised land, the young boy, thirteen years of age, could only marvel in the sheer splendor of the bustling city of New York, with the towering Lady Liberty, greeting them and breathing hope into them. Everything was discovery in their road to the Second City. But the discovery of cigarettes, of soda pop and hot dogs soon turned from wonder to the realization that an uneducated Irish family of nine who barely spoke a crude approximation to the language could not hope to advance even in Chicago's South Side, where the Irish community was a big percentage of the population. The boy managed to find work in a brickyard as the involvement of the irish-american community aided him in learning a trade, little more than to have him move on to a factory. As such, in a life filled with poverty and clouded in the thick black smoke of industry, the 1893World Fair's promise of Columbia's invitation to the sky was a magical escape from the bindings for the 16 year old, who provided with his three elder brothers and his father for a sick mother and three children too young to bring money to the home. Columbia proved to be a trap in which he could be nothing but an alienated cog lost in the dark depths of Shantytown. Finkton's token economies rendered him unable to bring money home, all spent in food, drink and more tar for the lungs, and he had to rely on his oafish physique to provide with other jobs. Soon involved as a henchman in the shady mobs of the slums, his beliefs stood firm in providing for his family, his duty as a man. With the years his long workdays were followed by long nights of extortion, violence, and a successful career in the underground boxing rings, where 'the Irish Bull', as he was soon nicknamed was bleeding for his homestead three nights a week. Personality His towering presence and bullish strength have made the man the perfect laborer, and his brash nature and loudmouthed ramblings rarely interfere with his less legal work. When on the job as muscle, he simply disconnects, retreating to some corner of his mind as he spatters the cobblestones in blood and teeth. The main pillar of his life is his family, and as such he has grown to understand that he will do whatever is needed to provide for them. His irish accent is coarse and almost unintelligible at times, and he finds himself lost around more complicated words. When he is drunk, which is by no means a rare sight, he rarely shouts anything other than gaelic, or perhaps something closely resembling slurred, harsh english. Swearing is, after all, something he rather fluent in. The fact that a lifetime of smoking cigarettes and working in factories has made his deep voice rumbling and husky do not aid those with less fluency in english to understand him in the very least. He has a deep hatred for those more priviledged, since it is his heartfelt belief that they willingly crush the working class for their own pleasure, yet around those in his same social situation he is hard to reach, but one will have a lifetime ally if his trust is earned, be it a negro, asian, or any other minority, for which he always finds jovial comradery and some coin in his pocket for a drink or ten.
