Hello everyone. Now that his information is all in place, allow me to introduce Rowan Collins. Originally from Scarborough, England in the North Yorkshire area he is the 31-year-old Marketing Director of the Giorgio Armani Corporation located on Madison Ave. Though the company is global, this New York chapter focuses most of its attention on the 5th Ave. Armani store and is the primary distributor of the Armani line in the states. He has a bachelor's degree in business with a concentration in global business, as well as a master's degree in integrated marketing, both from NYU.
A bit of a workaholic, Rowan's love life leaves a little to be desired, particularly when it comes to making a relationship last. He is charming and suave, confident and relaxed. Flirting comes quite naturally, but he has some serious commitment issues; once a woman gets too close and brings up the "M" word he tends to flee as quickly as possible. He has a stream of reasons -read here as excuses- for why he breaks off these relationships, but it's really just because he's scared and refuses to openly admit that the idea of giving up his bachelor lifestyle terrifies him. He enjoys the control he has within his career and the idea that he can't carry that over and have all the control in his relationships as well is something he deals with the best he can, however he finds it somewhat annoying.
Rowan loves the finer things in life and his 83rd Street apartment is filled with imported Italian leather furniture, large luxurious area rugs, and the best of everything else money can buy. He has no children and has never been married, though he was engaged once for a short time. You can read more about Rowan in his BIO. As far as storylines go, he's pretty much a blank slate right now. I would love to perhaps find a couple of best guy friends, as well as perhaps fill the open spots in his relationships section which include two ex-girlfriends and his ex-fiancee. Other than that, I'm open to anything else. Casual acquaintances, co-workers, family, and of course any of the countless flings/one night stands that he's had. Looking forward to playing this guy with you!

Hey there guys and gals (and everything in between), this is Reilly Flynn as played by the amazing Robert Sheehan and his premade is "the law student." I'm still working on him so there's a lot that isn't set in stone, however, what has been solidified is that he's 22 years old and was born in New York to Irish immigrant parents. His father was an abusive bastard who walked out on him, his then infant brother Ciaran, and their mother. His mother was so depressed and stressed out over being a single parent to two young boys that she began drinking and eventually was arrested for a couple of D.U.I.s and sentenced to a rehab program, immediately followed by a bit of a time in the slammer. This was when Reilly's maternal grandmother stepped in and brought both him and his younger brother back to Ireland which is where he was raised and lived until he was 18.
Reilly had always been fascinated by New York, having known that's where he was born, and longed to go back and explore the area for himself. He was a really bright student and did well enough in school that he managed to be accepted into Columbia University which overjoyed him and worried his Gran, as he called her, all at the same time. However, she cared so deeply for Reilly and Ciaran that there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them. All three of them moved to New York and shared a small house in Brooklyn so that Reilly could attend university without having to live in the dorms which his Gran swore must have been filled with vermin and drug abusers, no matter that it was an ivy league school. Of course, he didn't mind. It was nice having his brother and Gran around because he loved them both so much.
It was at Columbia, during his sophomore year, that Reilly met Evan Ashe and the two boys became the best of friends. Evan was only a freshman at the time and to Reilly seemed a little uptight and incredibly boring so he took it upon himself to teach him out to let go and have a bit of fun. In spite of his partying, Reilly was never a heavy drinker due to the experiences he'd had with his parents. He kept his grades up and once he'd graduated from NYU with an undergrad in pre-law he was accepted into law school as well. He seems at times like an unlikely candidate to be a lawyer because he's such a jokester around his friends, but Reilly's very interested in helping people and is serious when it comes to his views on justice. He also has incredibly good argumentative skills.
The only lines I have for him so far is that he's Evan Ashe's (![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) evashe) best friend and roommate and loves to flirt with Evan's younger sister, Leah (lashe). He also views Evan's mom, Robyn (robyne) as a sort of mothering figure since his own wasn't so great. I'm sure he's probably always flirting with Jill Ashe (jilla) as well, because he's a flirty, flirty guy. As for the rest, I've got no ex-girlfriends or even past relationships, enemies, relatives, or friends right now. So in the words of Pat Benatar, "hit me with your best shot."
