Introduction

Hi, I'm Ciaran (pronounced Keer-an). I can be often be found on the fencing list, archery range, and/or helping out wherever I can (half the time chasing after/being chased by Eastern Velociraptors). I got started in the SCA in the Barony of Black Diamond in Atlantia while in college before moving to the East where I have found my home. I first lived in the Barony of Settmour Swamp, then in the Barony of Iron Bog, and now residing in the Barony of Carillion.

I love learning new things and am often bouncing around between different disciplines and/or taking on too many projects (I have been threatened with applying weights to my hands and/or a leash so I stop running off and volunteering for things but so far, they haven't been able to catch me long enough to get any of those to work). My main foci are usually fencing, archery and A&S (I love doing and teaching papercut arts) with secondary foci in child-wrangling (I used to work with kids and am working on getting my youth marshallate), thrown weapons, running lists (MoL), and generally anything else that looks like fun.

I apologize now if I say/do anything that is upsetting or offensive to you or someone you know. I struggle with social and verbal cues and while I tend to be sarcastic, I often do not register sarcasm or general verbal cues. If I do or say something that upsets you, please let me know so that I may apologize and work on making sure it does not happen again.

Persona

Born and raised in 9th Century Scotland during the Norse raids upon the country.

In Case of Court

Please make sure my wife, Lady Ellynor Redpath (mka Rachael Bannon) is aware. I don't mind being surprised with what is going on in court but prefer to know ahead of time if/when I am being called up so that I can make sure I am presentable (especially after fencing and/or child wrangling). If it is something fencing related, please make sure Master Orlando Sforza and Don/Warder Brendan Firebow are informed (their presence, if possible is greatly appreciated). Please ensure Duchess Caoilfhionn and Lady Gwenhoivar of Lindley are informed as well so that they may let my households know as they see fit.

I have no problem/issue with receiving awards virtually via Etheral Court if the Crown(s) see fit.
