(( WRITTEN DESCRIPTION )) Declan has messy and whipsy copper hair that isn't too long, nor too short. His bright green eyes stand out against his rusty hair and fair skin. Underneath his eyes are very faint freckles that you wouldn't be able to see without getting really close to his face. He also has these faint freckles along his arms. When he smiles he has dimples on both cheeks, which give him a boyish appearance opposed to how old he really is. The Irishman's frame isn't the tallest or biggest, but sturdy in other words. The only reason to pick him out of a crowd would be his bright hair, not his buffness or height, because he doesn't have much of those. You'll usually find him with a shy grin or a straight face with wide eyes, since he isn't the most expressive or emotional bender out there. Dirt, though, his common to find on the nineteen year old's face, legs, arms, and really everywhere. As an Earth bender, you can't really get mad at him for this, though he is constantly told to take showers.
(( HEIGHT )) 5'10" | 177.8 cm
(( WEIGHT )) 178 lb | 80.739 kg
(( HAIR COLOR )) Light copper
(( EYE COLOR )) Clover green
(( SKIN TONE )) Fair and a bit rosy
(( CLOTHING STYLE )) As dirt is his constant companion, the Irishman knows to not dress up a lot because it will get ruined in seconds with his habits. He'll usually go with old hoodies, jackets, and shirts with a pair athletic shorts or khakis, and gymshoes of course. He doesn't appreciate his powers since it makes his clothing choice so small, but when there is a formal occasion of the sort, he doesn't shy away from wearing a suit, tie, and dress pants. His clothing style, in a word, would be casual, very casual.
(( BODY MODIFICATION )) None
(( EXTRA )) None
(( FACE CLAIM )) Eddie Redmayne
(( PERSONALITY )) In a word, shy, but that's not all that the Earth bender is. As he moved from his home country all the way across the ocean to the ACP, he isn't fully accustomed to the American ways. He has been there for a while, so he knows a lot more than your average tourist, but he constantly says that his accent gives him away. Thankfully, Chicago is full of Irish accents. Because of his foreign feelings, he isn't the most talkative or outgoing around pretty much anyone. He'll crack a few jokes here or there, or join in a roar of group laughter, but you'll never really see him speak his opinion. He keeps it to himself unless absolutely needed. Though, if you get to know him you'll find that he isn't all that shy after all. Declan is always up for going to the Irish pub that is down the street from the ACP building, and will always offer it to all the benders to come with him, close friends or not. He is pretty well known at the pub, for his frequent visits, and most of the benders are too [ as the pub sometimes gives beer to some of the underages, such as Declan himself ]. It's probably the way he makes up for his quiet and reserved ways. Though, while using his powers, he can be very different from his usual personality. For Earth bending, you have to be very focused, as an earthquake can come when all you wanted was a rock to move. He is known for his sly and sneaky ways on the training grounds, and is usually blamed for small pranks or mishappenings. But one thing you can always count on Declan for while bending is a huge grin. It seems as if it's his only time he doesn't feel foreign or out of place, which makes absolute sense. When the ACP sometimes sends the benders out on missions, Declan finds himself in the position of figuring out where the enemy is. Since he can feel vibrations in the Earth, he can sometimes feel if someone is walking towards them or away from them. Don't get him wrong though, the guy can fight if he needs too. A boulder to the head is his usual method.

(( HISTORY )) Declan grew up in a small town in Killarney, Ireland where his parents owned a pub. He lived an absolute normal life, nothing was suspicious or weird about him. Him and his family usually went out into the woods on the weekend for just family fun and sometimes a small picnic. The forests and fields of Ireland were so beautiful, the most green anyone had ever laid eyes on. Declan loved his family trips in the outdoors, and always made the most of them. He played games with his brother, Rowan, around the trees, and kicked a soccer ball around in the lush fields. His favorite place to be was in the wilderness, where green grass, towering cliffs, leafy trees, and moss covered rocks were all you could for miles. He felt in control. In a way, powerful. The woods and meadows is where his powers first came into view. There wasn't just one specific time that his powers came through, it was more like various little parts. Sometimes when he walked through the forest the ground would rumble beneath him, rocks would start to shift, and leaves would seem to dance around him. It all seemed to be almost coincidental, though deep down Declan knew something was up.
There was one time, though, that seemed to stand out against the others. Occasionally, Declan would work at his family's pub, serving drinks and food, washing tables, and taking orders. Just the simply, basic stuff. One night, a couple of guys had a little too much beer and a little too much anger. A bar fight erupted, while Declan was one of the only worked left in the pub. All the other workers vouched to stay back and let the fighting commence without any of their work. But Declan felt a little annoyed and ticked off as they broke almost every glass on the table and over all ruined the pub with just a fistfight. He wasn't planning on stopping anything, but his conscious had already started. A large crack in the ground split the two fighter away from each other, each on one side of the crack. Then, Declan felt a need to finish what he had apparently started. A large twine of ivy came up from the crack, wrapping itself around each fighter's throat. And with that, the Earth bender sent the two men running out of the pub with eyes staring widely at him as he came back inside. It was then that his parents got word of his power and he was sent to the ACP to try and tame his abilities. Anything after the pub fight hasn't been spoken about.
