PERSONALITY Boggart: His children growing up and telling him that he wasn't enough for them. They would tell him that they would rather he had died instead of their mother, and in that moment, he would wish it, too. Mirror of Erised: His wife alive again, being mother to their two children. Patronus: Gorilla - Sully's happiest memory used to be his wedding day, then it switched to the births of his children, but since his wife died, those memories have become tainted, and he can no longer produce a Patronus without a new memory to fuel it. Sully is strong. Stronger than anyone on the planet, or so he likes people to think. He comes across as a tough guy, sometimes intimidating, and even a little bit scary, but honestly, that just tends to be based off of his physical appearance. If you look past the bear-like muscles and the wild hair, you will actually find someone with a huge heart, and a generous spirit. Sully can be self-protective, and protective of those he loves to the point of losing his temper and getting into fights. He is hot headed and will attack first, ask questions later. He knows how to hold a mean grudge, and doesn't forget slights easily. That being said, in his regular life, he doesn't actually have people pissing him off day in and day out, so he's usually alright. He is very loving and warm, and a highly tactile and affectionate person. He always seems to have his arm around someone, or be hugging someone, or sitting close on the sofa. It's not a conscious effort, he's just very warm and friendly by nature. He's a solid friend, and blindly loyal to his people. Family is the most important thing in the world to him, and that includes close friends, too. He is loyal, and will fight your corner, and is definitely someone you can trust to always be there. He would drop everything to help a friend out. Being a Professional Quidditch player and former Gryffindor, Sully is very competitive. He's a Beater, and sometimes doesn't know his own strength, but he actually doesn't take any kind of pleasure in hurting others. He's no animal - unless you hurt him or his loved ones, then look out - but he loves Quidditch so much, and absolutely excels as a Beater. Granted, he goes through brooms like there's no tomorrow due to his sheer size, but honestly, he sees it as worth it. What's a few broken brooms as price for living the dream. He is highly enthusiastic about the things he loves, and his kids are his number one. He is capable of being such a big kid around them, and an absolute gentle giant who encourages them in everything they do. HISTORY Mother: Haunani Akela, 60, pureblood, Ilvermorny Alumna Father: Zachariah Sullivan, 62, muggleborn, Gryffindor Alumni Siblings: Keala Luana Sullivan , 35, sister, halfblood, Hufflepuff Alumna Nalani Lilinoe Sullivan , 27, sister, halfblood, Hufflepuff Alumna Partners: Faith Perkins, deceased aged 28, halfblood, Ravenclaw Alumna Others: Shay Kaili Sullivan, son, 8 years old Naia Lokelani Sullivan, daughter, 4 years old Born to a British father and a Hawaiian mother, Kalino Akela Sullivan was the middle child of the family, and grew up in Hawaii with his parents and two sisters, one older, one younger. He had a happy childhood, living a stones throw from the beach, and spending his days in the sun, learning how to surf and flying his broom over the sand in the magical community they lived in. Sully's mother and her family had lived in the magical village for generations, and he felt connected to his magic from an early age, encouraged to nurture it and help it grow by practising helping flowers to bloom with his grandmother. He never managed it, but the intent was there. Sully was always more into sports than flowers, and had a knack for anything that allowed him to run around and burn off steam. Just like his older sister before him, when he came of age, he knew he would have a choice. He had acceptance letters from both Ilvermorny and Hogwarts, and his parents told him it was entirely up to him which one he wanted to attend. His father was British, and they had family in England and Scotland that they often visited, but Sully had always wondered what it would be like to live there with his father's family, and so he chose Hogwarts. He was placed in Gryffindor house, like his father, which filled him with pride, and he threw himself into his schooling without ever doubting his choice. Both his sisters chose Hogwarts, too, and so the whole Sullivan clan ended up at the castle over time. Sully joined the Quidditch team as Beater in his second year, and as he grew stronger and taller, his professors often worried that he might not be suitable for the position and was liable to seriously injure other players. Alas, that was the name of the game, and Sully's father fought tooth and nail for his son to be able to stay on the team. He had friends, he dated girls, but without Quidditch, he would have been miserable at school. He was kept on the team, and decided that it was what he wanted to do when he left school. Though he did well enough in his studies, Sully had a one track mind, and it led him straight to the Kenmare Kestrels, where he played his first two years as a Professional Quidditch player. He switched teams two more times before settling with the Falmouth Falcons, which has been his team for the past two years. He's happy there, and likes his teammates much better than he ever did in the past. His personal life did not go so smoothly, though. A few years after graduation, he met the most beautiful girl by the name of Faith. She was funny, and strong, and not afraid to put him in his place, where everyone else saw his size and cowed down to him. He loved her fire and her heart, and within a year they were married. He was twenty three at the time, and she was twenty one. She fell pregnant straight away, and their first child, a son who they named Shay, was born in the summer. Being a parent was a whole different challenge for Sully, but one he took to like a duck to water. He was an amazing dad, and when Shay was four, Faith gave birth to a second child, a beautiful little girl, Naia. Life was perfect. They had a house together by the sea, which reminded Sully of his home in Hawaii, and his career was going from strength to strength. When Naia was six months old, Faith fell ill with dragon pox. It wasn't that bad. She'd have a stay in St. Mungo's and then recover and be fine. That was how it should have gone, but it wasn't that simple. She'd only given birth months ago, her body wasn't at its strongest and couldn't fight off the disease, and so at the tender age of twenty eight, Faith passed away in her hospital bed, leaving Sully alone to raise their two children. He was devastated, and took a year off from Quidditch to focus on his kids. His entire life shattered, and Sully had no idea how he was going to get through it. His parents were across the world, and his sisters had lives of their own. It took him a long time to pull himself together and start to get their lives back on track. Naia was only a baby, and doesn't remember her mother, but Shay remembers. He asks questions all of the time, and Sully tries his best to answer every single one as honestly and beautifully as he can. He's settled in his job now, the Falcons taking the broken man in, and he is still, after three years, trying to get over the loss of his wife. He hasn't yet plucked up the courage to start dating again, and often thinks he'll be a lonely old man one day, but as long as his kids are happy, he honestly doesn't care.
