Character Sheet

Name/Title: Brian "Hercules" O'Halloran

Occupation: Strongman, of the circus variety.

First Impression: Hercules, who gained his moniker from Feats of Great Strength, is a physically imposing man, both tall and muscular, in his mid-to-late 20s. He has a Mancunian accent (Manchester).

Sex/Gender: M

Age: 27

Appearance: Brian is around 6'4" tall and heavily muscled. His head is shaved, and he has a large, drooping, curled moustache in a nondescript blond color. His eyes are grey-blue, his complexion average in tone.

Relationships: To be determined. (Rather: this will be explored.) He has a family in Manchester, and he works in the traveling Carnival.

Personality: Surprisingly soft-spoken and kindly, even a little shy. A true friend to anyone who needs him, and an indifferent enemy.

Strengths: Well, strength itself, to begin with. His affable good nature has also gotten him far, with the carnival folk (among whom he is a general favorite) and with more than a few young ladies, too. He is not quick to fly off the handle: he is aware that any physical contest with him is an unfair one, so he does not fight with others if he can help it.

Shortcomings: Brian is a relatively simple man with relatively simple tastes: to some, he may seem a bit coarse. Occasional heroics in the service of others have gotten him into mild trouble.

History: Brian is a Manchester lad of Irish extraction. Due to his size, he could have broken his back day after day in a Manchester factory for little pay, or he could have chosen the option that he did choose, which was to join the Carnival as an exhibiting strongman and see the country, maybe even the continent. He's been on the road for more than a decade, periodically sending money back to his Roman Catholic family. He has also been able to save a good amount of money, and is pondering the idea of finding a nice girl to marry, and opening his own pub... maybe someday, maybe soon.
