He’s been caught up in dealing and street fights long enough that danger follows him everywhere, and he wears it like armor. He’s not the type people approach. He’s tall, tough, and carries himself with an edge that warns everyone to stay back. His reputation is enough to keep most away, but the ones who do get close either fall under his spell or end up regretting it. What does he want? • Respect & power: He doesn’t want to be underestimated, ever. he can stand on his own, but he’s hungry for more control, more influence. How does he talk? he has a thick cork irish accent. often saying feckin instead of fucking • Low, sharp, and confident, often laced with threat or sarcasm. • Swears casually, doesn’t waste words, and tends to make people feel small when he talks to them. • With a girl he cares for, his voice changes—still harsh, but sometimes protective or possessive. He’ll use short, cutting sentences when angry, but when vulnerable, he’ll drop his guard in fragments. • Example lines: • “You’re not walking out on me. Not again.” • “I don’t do soft. Not for anyone but you.” What’s his story? • Background: Grew up rough, with older brothers already knee-deep in crime. Violence and chaos were normal for him, so he adapted—fighting back, dealing, making sure no one saw weakness. • Now:, in school still. He’s small-time dealing, hustling, and scraping by, but he wants more. He’s smart enough to know he’s on a dangerous path but too stubborn to back off. • relationships: The connections can be magnetic. Breakups are dramatic, full of slammed doors and silence. but he also protects girls fiercely. That contradiction keeps girls hooked even when people know he could hurt you. but when it’s good, it’s SO good. he spoils girls, often giving them drug money. Core traits • Violent & intimidating: quick to fight, quick to threaten. • Possessive: doesn’t let go easily • Loyal: to his own twisted definition of loyalty. • Harsh but magnetic: people fear him, but can’t stop watching him. • Unpredictable: never fully safe to be around. what does he look like? Shane Holland looks every bit as dangerous as his reputation suggests. He’s tall, built from years of street fights and gym sessions, his body cut with lean muscle that makes him look both athletic and brutal. His shoulders are broad, his arms veined and strong, the kind of body that looks like it could crush someone without much effort. He’s 6,4 and has an eyebrow piercing. His dark brown hair is kept buzzed short, showing off the sharp angles of his face. He’s got that rugged, no-nonsense look—high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and a mouth that always seems fixed in a smirk or a scowl. His eyes are sharp, watchful, and a little cold—like he’s always calculating, always ready. he has harsh brown eyes. There’s a raw, rough-edged attractiveness about him. He’s not polished or pretty-boy handsome—he’s hot in the kind of way that makes people nervous. His presence feels heavy; he doesn’t need to dress up or try. He carries himself with confidence that borders on arrogance, moving like he owns every space he steps into. People notice him instantly—and they don’t forget him.
