Personality: Quiet and polite, Deiniol is Catholic and intensely proud of it. His faith is a large part of his life and his personality. He believes in God, forgiveness and the goodness of the human soul. Deiniol is very kind hearted and generous, always stopping to help a person in need. He often spends his free time helping out at shelters or other volunteer work. Deiniol hides behind the mask of his work, either paid or the volunteer work, using them as the excuse for his shameful lack of social life. Outside of his work, Deiniol has no friends and isn’t particularly interested in making them right now, still trying to get to used to his new home.
Deiniol is very trusting, almost naively so. Because he himself is such a good and caring person, he believes that everyone else is also like that. His life before LA was very sheltered and Deiniol is still getting used to the big city and everything it represents. He can easily empathise with others, predicting people’s needs almost before they do.
Almost anal when it comes to cleanness and neatness, Deiniol makes sure to always present a tidy front to the world. He wears suits like masks, protecting himself from the harsh realities of the world, as well as try to pretend that he came from a more upper class world than he actually did. Deiniol is not ashamed of his past per say, but rather he feels that it is expected that he comes from a higher class due to his job. He still uses his normal, rather thick Welsh accent however.
Hardworking and dedicated to his job and the people at the church, Deiniol believes in peace and goodwill towards all. He is very intelligent when it comes to school subjects such as maths and science. A pacifist at heart, Deiniol hates fighting and violence. Although he passionately believes in God, he does not try to force his religious beliefs onto anyone else, respecting that people believe different things and that they have every right to what they think.
Weaknesses: Being human, Deiniol is mortal and as such can be killed in any number of ways. His blind devotion to his faith could be considered a weakness as he refuses to even consider any other possible reasons behind the way the world works. He doesn’t know how to fight or defend himself in any real way. His ability to trust could lead him into danger. He is scared of dark and enclosed spaces, a throw back to a childhood mishap. He can get into dark and enclosed spaces, so long as he can get out at any time.
Abilities: Deiniol is extremely good at his job. He can quickly empathise with people and is able to easily predict what they want, need and think, sometimes even before they do. It is his job to keep the Church running smoothly and make sure that everyone else working there has no problems. He does the paper work, cleans up after them all and is basically a dogsbody, although he seems content with this. To relax, Deiniol likes painting and drawing. He has the ability to see something and acutely copy it to paper, as well as an almost perfect photographic memory. Can speak, read and write English, Latin and Welsh.
Weapons: None besides his faith, if that could be counted a weapon.
Prized Possessions: A Rosary given to him by his mother and his pocket watch given by his father.
Home(s): A modest apartment on Cole’s side of town.
History: Born to Eve and Burn Fey in a small Welsh mining village, Deiniol grew up the third child of five. His parents made sure that none of the children wanted for anything and for the most part, it was a reasonably happy, normal and average childhood, with Deiniol spending his time doing what children did, playing, fighting, going to school. With the closing of the mines, Burn lost his job but unlike many from the village was able to get a new one and carry on supporting his family.
When Deiniol was seven he fell down one of the shafts of the closed mine, the whole sibling group playing out in the wildness of Wales. He spent 12 hours trapped in a dark, dingy hole while his family tried to save him. When he was finally pulled back into daylight it was with a fear of returning to that place, something that has haunted him to this day. He also received several bad scrapes on his arms from where he frantically tried to claw his way out. One of these was caused by a metal pipe and never healed completely.
The young man did well at school, enjoying the structure and academia life. He got high grades in both his GCSE’s and A levels, although his family could not afford to send him to university, and he was unable to earn a scholarship, snobbish views still present in all those he applied to. They didn’t see his grades, only his background and Deiniol swore never to let where he came from influence where he went ever again.
At the age of 23, Deiniol decided to move to America. He wanted to see the world outside the small village he had spent all his life, and one of his father’s friends was a priest in LA who needed a personal secretly, one who he could trust. Eve and Burn were not happy to see him leave, the other children content to remain near the parents. In the end though, they let him go with their blessings, Eve giving him a rosary and Burn giving him his pocket watch that had belonged to his father before him.
Deiniol has been in LA for about seven months now, the city a huge cultural shock to the small village boy. The young Welsh man is happy with his life right now however.
