Appearance:
While in school he wears a pair of glasses(with fake lenses) and a basic outfit for teachers. Generally a casual suit and tie that somehow still show off his build. When outside he wears a long jacket and a white button up shirt along with casual jeans and boots. At these times he doesn't use his glasses since he has no need for them.
Personality: During the day and while in class he keeps a professional air with a friendly demeanor. In the school he tends to wear a pair of glasses to help and remind him to keep things cool, polite, and professional. He is kind to his students, provided they aren’t completely slacking off and causing trouble. Even then he does have a soft spot for all his students and will still look after the trouble makers albeit with a bit of tough love. Now when he starts drinking his personality takes a different turn. He his louder and takes pride in his manliness. During these moments he is a fiercer man and is always willing to roll up his sleeves and delve into a fight or flirt with a nice lady in whatever bar he might have stumbled into.
Likes:
• Drinking- He loves his liquor and will often be found chugging something when he isn’t at work. For him this is one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind.
• Fighting- With the pride of being a man and the mix of liquor Galvin finds great pleasure in rolling up his sleeves for a good brawl. When the numbers are against him he enjoys it even more.
• Women- No man would be complete without the joy that women bring. A true man always cherishes the women and ensures that they are not harmed. If he has the chance he will search the bars for a lovely lady to attempt and start a family with.
• His Students- Some in his class may give him headaches he still has a soft spot for them. While he show annoyance and yell when pushed to the edge he will look after all his students and ensure they are taken care of.
• Reading- Oddly enough his brain is filled with all kinds of knowledge from a variety of texts that he has taken the time to analyze. Then again maybe it isn’t odd since he decided to become a teacher.
• Being Manly- Yes he values every aspect of being a “true man”. Every bit of the ruggedness that comes with being the pinnacle of manhood.
• His facial hair- He takes the utmost care of his facial hair since it is part of his pride as a man. He is often seen messing with it when he is in a good mood.
• Food- Particularly any form of meat with a hearty helping of veggies, preferably potatoes.
Dislikes:
• Troublemakers- Pretty much anyone who annoys him. Usually it pertains to the students in his classes that don’t seem to be trying at all or just give him headaches.
• Seeing Women Cry- Anyone who makes a woman cry is not a man!
• Annoying Women- Arrogant women, Angry Women, Violent Women, Whining women. All of them are annoying and it is why he drinks.
• Bullying- He has no tolerance for it, especially when it is towards his students!
• Cats- They stare at him and give him the creeps.
• Meat Substitutes- There is no substitute for meat!
• Being stared at- If someone stares at him for too long he links it to the vile cats and thus becomes creeped out and annoyed.
Strengths:
• Strongman- Thanks to all his manly training Galvin is a rather tough individual allowing him to push his body further than normal.
• Brawler- He is familiar with the exchange of punches and kicks.
• High Alcohol Tolerance- While he acts different when drinking he never gets truly drunk for that would be unmanly.
• Athletic- He has trained in many styles and can accomplish a fair share of athletic feats
• Intelligent- When not drinking he is a bit of a genius.
Weaknesses:
• Alcohol- Hinders his intelligence, perception, and overall movements.
• Easily Annoyed- It takes all his willpower to keep himself from flying into a rage.
• Singing- He thinks he great but this is due to the liquor.
• Overbearing- When it comes to the tough love he gives to some of his students he can be a bit much. Ex. He would train a wimpy looking student to be a man and not take into account that they cant train the same way he does.
• Sweets- He loves them but they are dangerous! It makes him feel sluggish and lazy.
Fears:
• Losing his facial hair- It is his pride and joy! To lose it would be like Samson losing his long hair!
• Women- They should always be loved and feared! They can destroy a man without lifting a finger!
• Having the lowest ranked class- No teacher wants to be stuck with the slackers!
• Making a woman cry- That would make him feel horrible! Not to mention less of a man.
• Making a woman angry- Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn!
• A Catlike woman- Who would want to meet something so creepy?! Plus she has the wrath of a woman!
History: Hailing from Ireland Galvin has strived to be a great teacher and a model for all that wish to become “true men.” While he believes that he is both it is by his own standards. To prove this he decided that he would be the one with the top class in World W. Academy. To prepare himself he put his body through intense training to ensure he could accomplish the feats that a man should. He also did a mental training to help him in maintaining his patience and politeness. He attempted to sit next to a local cat that always stared eerily at him. Sadly this ended with leaving with a feeling that the cat had been peering into his soul. He suffered nightmares for a week and vowed never to try it again. He then attempted to try taking it to the bars to see if he could remain polite to the drunkards. Sadly this only resulted in multiple fistfights and nights of drunken singing. Finally he attempted to train while dealing with a local lass that he knew from the neighborhood. She was violent, whiney, emotional, and the perfect training partner. After what seemed like years Galvin decided he was ready to take on the school. The lass had other ideas and tried to get him to marry her. Barely escaping from her grasp Galvin took it as another sign that he had to get to the academy as soon as possible.
On arriving to the academy Galvin was a bit surprised with the vastness and wandered down the halls for hours. After observing the school he went off to explore the town. While walking about he found some relatively decent places to find a drink but saved that for when it was later. There were all kinds of people in the city and he was wondering where they were all from.
After finally getting settled in the new city he decided to treat himself to a good meal and a drink or two…or three….or more. This resulted in him walking out and forgetting where his new home was located. He wandered the streets and somehow stumbled into Tartarus. Unaware of the dangers he walked aimlessly trying to get his bearing till he stumbled upon a Shadow. Not one to go down without a fight, Galvin attempted to give it a reason not to mess with him. This resulted in him receiving the scar on his face and his persona. With the power of the persona he was able to defeat the shadow. After the initial adrenaline wore off he became more aware of what was going on. Although he was capable of defending himself he decided it would be best to leave and make his way back home. He doesn’t remember how but he eventually made it out and collapsed. When he awoke he was in a clinic where they had treated his wounds. If it wasn’t for the scar he would still believe it had all been a dream.
Seeing as the Shadow had managed to harm him he took to more training when he wasn’t at his new job. He had to be ready for the next time he went there. Until then he had to get ready for his new class!

Role-play Sample: [3-4 paragraphs minimum.]The ride had been uneventful and Galvin had slept most of the way there. When he awoke he was already in St. Helenia which seemed to be bustling with life. “Wow this is amazing!” He hadn’t realized he had spoken out loud till he heard a young woman giggle. He gave the lass a smile as he moved down to the streets. It seemed the women were amazing too! Now he just had to find the academy. He was excited as he began to reach into his pockets for his phone. Flipping open the phone he began looking for the address. Despite having written it in his phone the note had been deleted! In place of it was a message he hadn’t written. Have fun you lousy dog! That Morrigan really was a crazy lass and he had made the mistake of getting on her good side! That is that he had unknowingly managed to make her want to marry him. The woman was mad! All he ever did was chat with her at the bar and dance with her! It had been part of his personal training to try and keep his politeness up even in front of a crazy woman. And now here he was with no address and in a new city. Well a man just had to keep moving ahead! Fixing the thin glasses on his face he stepped forward to locate the school!
It had been hours and he still couldn’t find the school. For some reason he just seemed to be going past the same places. He did take not of some of the more interesting places such as the bars and restaurants. He would have to come back later to explore those...at least if he ever managed to leave the area. He knew that some people would probably choose to ask for help or simply look it up on their phone’s Internet. Sadly Galvin’s phone lacked the online feature and he refused to ask for directions! Finally he managed to escape his loop and he found himself on the way to the vast campus of the academy!
As he entered the school grounds he took in the environment. It was the perfect place to prove he was meant to be the greatest teacher! He wondered what kind of students he would get. He imagined that all of them would be the kind that he would help rise to the top of their class! Not only that but he would help train them to obtain physical perfection! They would be masters of both worlds! He rubbed his facial hair as he thought about all the thanks he would get from his students when they graduated. Now he just had to find out where he was being assigned. No matter he just had to head up to the dean’s office!
