              ◊ QUIET Irvine is a quiet person, not speaking much unless spoken to and tending toward short answers instead of extended discourse. He doesn't mind it, however, if he's talking to someone one-on-one, but putting him into a situation where he's having to deal with multiple people at once, and he tends to clam up really quickly.
              ◊ INTELLIGENT Irvine is highly intelligent. While he's not that great with maths and the like, he excels with the written word in all its forms. He has an expansive vocabulary for someone his age and reads and writes at the level of someone well above his age.
              ◊ CURIOUS Irvine has a curious streak a mile wide. When he finds something he hasn't discovered before, he wants to examine it in every way possible and learn as much about it as he can. He also can't help but wonder about things he hasn't encountered, and as a result, tends to get lost in his head at times.
              ◊ SNARKY Probably due to his early childhood, Irvine has developed a bit of a snarky side. He tends to make biting remarks or snide comments, usually to keep people from getting too close. He also tends to be somewhat abrasive with people he doesn't feel comfortable around or doesn't know well.
              ◊ DISTRUSTFUL Also due to his childhood trauma, Irvine is rather distrustful and doesn't see the good in a lot of things. He has a hard time believing other people when they don't have proof to back up their claims, and has issues with trusting people that aren't his immediate family.
              ◊ INTROVERT Irvine tends to stick to himself more often than not. It's not that he doesn't like other people, it's just that, well, he doesn't like being crowded. He prefers to have space to himself and will find locations where he can unwind from being around everyone if necessary.

              CHILDHOOD Irvine is the oldest child of Douglas and Fiona McNeil and the adopted son of Xavier Goldwind. He lived the first five years of his life with his biological parents, though he can't remember much about his mother as she died around a year after his sister Ophelia was born. What he does remember mostly would be his father, who started drinking heavily after his mother passed away and began abusing Irvine and Ophelia. It came to a head one day when Douglas was winding up after being on a bender for a weekend and started into both children, only for one of their neighbours to intrude. Xavier had apparently heard the commotion and had decided to save both of them, and ended up taking both Irvine and Ophelia away from Douglas and taking them to a strange hospital. After that, Xavier ended up adopting both children and Irvine slowly became quite attached to the rather aloof man.

              They didn't end up staying in the United Kingdom for very long, as not long after the adoption was finalized, Xavier took both children with him on his travels around the world. Irvine actually enjoyed travelling around, as he got to see more of the world than he ever did in Scotland. As a result, he found himself picking up new languages and learning as much as he could about each place they visited, and he always felt sad any time they had to leave. However, that didn't mean that he disliked going to a new place, as he got to experience something new each time.

              The only time they left not long after they got there was when Irvine displayed magic for the first time when he was eight and they were visiting Columbia. He accidentally set some underbrush alight when Xavier was trying to take them to explore a cave system, and while Xavier was able to put it out successfully, they decided it might not be a good idea to stick around the muggles they had decided to go cave exploring with. As Irvine turned 10, Xavier decided it was best to return to England to make sure that Irvine and Ophelia could go to Hogwarts as Ophelia, too, was discovered to be magical.

              SCHOOL YEARS
                  ◊ FIRST YEAR Irvine was sorted into Ravenclaw, the same house as his father. He didn't mind it, especially since apparently not that many people really bothered him too much. He ended up enjoying classes, though, and hoped that he could get onto the school newspaper the following year.
                  ◊ SECOND YEAR Second year wasn't too bad for Irvine. He enjoyed the fact that people didn't bother him, which meant that he was able to work on writing more. He did miss the opportunity to join the newspaper, however, and vowed he'd join it next year.
