BASICS
Name: Doyle Connor Sullivan
Age & Birthdate: 26; 16 February, 1953
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Marital Status: Single
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Wand: 9 in, cedar, phoenix tail feather
Current Residence: A dingy flat down Knockturn Alley
Affiliation(s): Order of the Phoenix supporter
Political Stance: Doyle is sort of an island unto himself. He trusts himself and few others. But in regards to the war, he's in favour of the Order, mostly because the Death Eaters are against him because of his blood, the Ministry keeps wanting to arrest him (for some completely unknown reason ...), and the Order people seem like right good blokes and birds who see the benefits of a bit of questionably legal business practices. Not to mention, his twin sister is one of those more upright folks and she joined the Order, so while he might'n't necessarily follow in her footsteps, he supports anyone worthy of her.

SCHOOL & WORK
Former House: Hufflepuff
Years: 1964 - 1971
Any Extras: Hahaha. Yeah, right. Like anyone would give Doyle power.
NEWT Scores:

Care of Magical Creatures: A
Charms: A
Muggle Studies: E

Occupation: Counterfeiter and petty thief
Attitude Toward Job: Frankly, Doyle's a bit of a right lazy bloke and would rather just sit around all day, but you gotta do something for money and the like. He has fun with what he's doing, because why do something if it ain't fun, but it's not like he would do it if he could just sit around on his arse all day. Okay, maybe he would, but not so much.

General Personality: (will be put in paragraph form eventually)
- Not really the sharpest tack in the drawer / brightest crayon in the box / etc
- Has some street smarts, and is good at picking pockets and making believable counterfeits, but is a little slow to get things and definitely won't be winning any awards for smarts

PERSONAL & FAMILY HISTORY
Family:

Geralt Liam Sullivan:

Máirín Deirdre Sullivan née O'Byrne:

Caoimhe Áine Sullivan:

History: (will be put in paragraph form eventually)
- Geralt & Máirín both grew up in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, a small town with an excess of pubs.
- Didn't really get to know each other until they were both working at Dock o'the Dee when he was 25 and she was 22.
- Fell in love, got married.
- February of 1953 (3 years after they'd first met, 1.5 years after they got married), twins Caoimhe and Doyle were born (Caoimhe older by about six minutes)
- Owner of Dock o'the Dee was a friend of Geralt's father, left the pub to Geralt & Máirín when he died in 1960.
- Times were up and down for the Sullivan family, reflecting the up and down times for the pub, competing with the other pubs in town.
- Couldn't buy new things for the twins very often, had to mostly get by with hand-me-downs and charity and the like.
- Caoimhe made the best of it, but Doyle started picking pockets to buy little trinkets for his sister and mum.
- Caoimhe & Doyle were very close growing up, each other's best friend, stood up for the other, was there when the other needed them, etc.
- Summer of 1964, a man came to the pub and told the family that Caoimhe and Doyle had magic. Explained things, etc, 1 September they were on the train to Hogwarts.
- Doyle & Caoimhe stuck close to each other the whole trip to Hogwarts and through the sorting ceremony, until it was their turn. After Caoimhe was put in Hufflepuff, Doyle asked to be put there, too, so he could stay close to her. The hat obliged (and was gonna put him there, anyway).
- School was uneventful: Caoimhe did well, Doyle didn't; Caoimhe was responsible, Doyle occasionally got in trouble for stealing things.
- After they finished school in 1971, Doyle managed to scrape together the money to get a dingy little flat on Knockturn Alley; wouldn't let his sister help take care of him (too proud, also didn't want to drag Caoimhe down with him).
- Never got a "real" job, just spends his time on the streets, picking pockets and making counterfeit copies of some of the things he steals, to peddle later.

PHYSICAL
Portrayed-By: Callum Blue
Height: 6'
Hair Colour: Brown
Eye Colour: Brown
Distinguishing Marks / Features: Doyle is something of a walking skeleton, in terms of build: long and lanky, with little in the way of body fat or muscle mass. He also has quite "distinguishing" (read: large) ears and a seemingly permanent bit of scruff (no matter how often he shaves, he can never quite get rid of that round-the-clock five-o-clock shadow).
