Allistor "Scottie" Kirkland

27

November 30
Country of Origin:
Scotland
Floor in the building:
4
How long they've lived in the building:
10 months
Job:
Bartender, but keeps switching jobs.
Powers:
Smoke/fog manipulation
and
Enhanced synesthesia

Appearance:
Allistor has flaming red hair. It is short, somewhat choppy-looking, and never stays neat. He gave up trying to clean it up and let it be unruly. Like his brother, his eyebrows are thick, but not quite as much as Arthur. His eyes are bright green eyes that can switch between a warm, caring colour, and a piercing cold one. In other words he can pull off intimidating.

He has very pale skin with a few freckles here and there. It's not that he doesn't go out often, it's just the fact that it is nearly always cloudy and grey when he goes out. On his back are two tattoos of dragons from Scottish myths. One sits over his left shoulder blade, and the other is on the small of the back. Allistor stands at 6'1". He always keeps his back straight, making him keep his tall appearance. He has a firm build, but not too muscly. He makes sure to keep fit, even though he knows that smoking as much as he does isn't helping.

Scottie tends to wear anything that's comfortable and semi-casual, but if needed he'll oblige to wearing formal attire, whether it's work or such. He is pretty adaptive to with what he wears, coming from not being able to keep one job for longer than a couple months. He tends to wear button down shirts, and jeans. On those off days where you throw on anything to get through the day, Scottie will happily wear a kilt. Other than that he tries to get away with one when the occasion seems fit for such clothing.

Personality:
Allistor is, in two words, downright rude. He will back talk anyone, his family, neighbors, strangers, even his boss. This is one of those reasons he keeps getting fired. He has a bad attitude that he can't help. He mouths off if you say one wrong word. Though he tries his best to refrain from doing so with strangers. He has a hard time being nice around people who really annoy him, especially his family.

Though he is very rude to people who get on his bad side (That's a very big side), he can be quite the gentleman. He has manners, even if they don't show often, and knows how and when to use them. He'll open a door for a lady or someone with full hands, take off his hat when entering a building, you name it, he'll probably do it.

The people Scottie cares for are the ones he really acts aggressively towards. Not exactly physically, but he does insult them, and occasionally gives them a dope slap or two. He avoids using terms of endearment with them, he always thinks that if he does he'd end up being the target of their pestering. Though he seems to have negative feelings toward those who are close, put them in harm and you have to face Allistor. He is not forgiving to people that hurt his friends and family.

That said, Allistor has pride. He does not submit to anyone. He is stubborn and argues to prove himself correct, even if the evidence is against him. He is quick to blame others, and jump to conclusions. He'll angrily fight his way to being correct even if that means the other person admitting they're wrong though they know they aren't. He has a short fuse and will burst out of a room in a rage.

Allistor is also quite the drunk. He can only hold his liquor until after a bottle and a half. After that he becomes a hazy man who can't tell right from left. He gets twice as angry, and will argue whether he knows what about or not. He demands more liquor and goes through more cigarettes than usual. He rambles on and on about Nessie, claiming she is real. He yells at anybody about it, and his Scottish accent becomes heavier, so he becomes very difficult to understand.

Likes:
+Alcohol, any kind. He is most fond of whiskey, rum, scotch and beer though.
+Smoking. He knows it's bad for him, but still takes a smoke. It helps his nerves, and he can go through a box in 1/2 of a bad day. (The picture says it all)
+His family. 'Nough said.
+Playing the bagpipes. It's a hobby and talent. He enjoys it and uses it as a pass time.
+Football (Soccer in American). He loves to play and is extremely competitive.
+Rain. He doesn't mind it, and actually enjoys it often. It's something he know his Arthur hate, and can use that as a topic of annoyance.
+Cooking. Believe it or not Scottie can in fact cook, but to an extent. He's only really good at cooking home cuisine, nothing fancy.

Dislikes:
-Hangovers. Like every other sane person, he hates them. He will happily drink until he passes out, but can't stand the effects.
-Arthur. It's a brotherly relationship, hate is included in there.
-Being called "Carrot-top." He can't stand that nickname. Especially when people use it knowing it gets on his nerves. It's one of his biggest pet peeves.
-Being bossed around. In other words he argues with anyone who does so, and thus has to find a new job.
-Sweets. He'll have some every now and then, but isn't too fond of them.

Any other information: Like mentioned before, Scottie is always changing jobs. He lives on his own and tries his best to support himself. He has money troubles.

History: Allistor was brought up in a mannerly family. He grew up in an old crumbling manner that was really no place for children. The nanny that raised him also raised his brothers. At first he enjoyed having it just him and his nanny, his parents seemed like strangers because they were always away so much.

When his first sibling came along he was annoyed and displeased. He felt unimportant as the nanny gave more attention to them to help with raising. He always pick on them, and get in trouble with her. He slowly grew fond of his sibling as they were able to do more than cry and coo.

His second sibling came and Scottie gave a more brotherly attitude towards them. His first was old enough to play with him by that time, and he had the mind set that it would be more fun. By that time though another nanny was hired to take care of the two older children, while his favourite, well-known nanny was to take care of the youngest. He never really got to know them until he was in his mid-teens.

When he was old enough, Allistor went to a private school. He never did well there. He always got into trouble, and back talked teachers when they tried to get him to stop. A lot of students thought of him as the school bully, and with his bad attitude he might as well have been. Sick of school, he dropped out of school in his Junior years. He took off on his own not wanting to deal with the family lecturing him about his poor choice.

Not wanting such an uptight life he went to London. He got a few part time jobs, and rented an apartment. He managed it for about a month before he got fired. Needing the money, because he refused to live off his family (If they had any money), he got another job. He found out his brother, Arthur lives in the apartment above his, and that was a loud day in the building. Allistor now continues to work various jobs.

Details of their powers:
Smoke/fog manipulation: Allistor is able to control smoke and fog around him. He doesn't have much jurisdiction over his power, seeing how he doesn't know how to control it. Smoke from cigarettes will linger unusually close to him, and won't spread as much as it commonly does. Fog also does the same. When outside, Scottie will have a long nimbus of fog or mist following him around. On the bright side, fog does have the manners to stay outside buildings, it will just linger around it until he leaves.

Enhanced synesthesia: Scottie is able to see sound waves created by objects. He sees them as colours. Brighter colours come from loud, sudden noises. While pastel-ly colours come from softer, quieter sounds. Scottie often enjoys watching the sound waves that come from playing the bagpipe, and does that to relax.

RP Sample:
Allistor looked out the window. A sudden flash filled the window with light. He gave a little chuckle. "'N' Ah used tae be scared o' that stuff!" He thought to himself. It was the kind of night that remind him of a scary novel. He enjoyed it. There was a certain fun to it all. He sat down on his bed, watching a storm was much better than t.v. It wasn't something extraordinarily rare. Storms happened often, but this one was a sight, especially how freakishly close it was.

Scottie grabbed a bottle of whiskey and sat down. Not long after he fell asleep. Half-full bottle of whiskey on the ground, and him falling off the bed. He could've easily fallen onto the ground without waking up, he's fallen asleep drunk before, and grew up accustomed to storms like that one. Slowly he slipped off the corner, dragging the cover with him under his weight. He landed on the carpeted floor with a muted 'thmp!'

He woke up straining for clean air. He opened his eyes, but it was all grey. His eyes were forcibly shut from the burning sensation. He tried to pick himself up hoping it would be thinner, but it was just as thick. Scottie coughed, gasping for breath. His thought was a fire, but there was no way of getting out. Opaque streams of dulled colours flowed through the smoke as he coughed. Eventually he passed out.

In the morning he woke up with the mother of all migraines, and blurry vision. He looked around straining for clear vision. The room was surprisingly lacking in smoke, ash or any sign of a fire the night before. He weakly stood up. Scottie looked outside to see a thick layer of fog right outside the window. "Whit juist happened?!" He asked. A little blue string flowed through the air as he said that. "Seriously, whit happened? Allistor wondered.

A little about yourself:
I've RPed as Scotland before, and I think I'm getting better each time (You should've seen me at first, I sucked badly!).
Anything Else?:
Puce is my favourite colour. Yes, puce. When I type Scotland's speech I try my best to get it with Scottish pronunciation, if it gets to be a problem I'll stop.
