rory is 34, originally grew up in scotland but moved to boston in his teens when his parents divorced. he is ex-military and after getting honorably discharged due to injury, he sort of floated around florida, maine, and scotland until he came to bar harbor in 2019 for a girl. things didn't work out but he liked his job (he's a high school chemistry teacher) and his cousin (jpiers) lives in town, so he decided to stay. he's also pretty friendly, easy-going, and excitable...sometimes to an obnoxious extent. he has a tendency to get serious fast when a situation calls for it, but he's also a hot mess when it comes to dating. he spends a lot of time playing video games, d&d, and probably drinking too much.
