Overall Personality: Always quick with a smile and the first to crack a joke, Carson is pretty easy to get along with, a loyal friend and never one to back out of a fight. If you're someone he's taken a liking to, he'll protect you even if you claim you don't need it, out of a deep-seeded sense of loyalty. Even if he's an easy going guy and takes care of those that he cares about, though, he does have his flaws. He's got a terrible temper, and doesn't always know when to stop joking and when to be serious. To try and give himself the adrenaline rush he's addicted to, he pulls dangerous stunts without second thoughts, and it's rare to find him without a cigarette in his hand. A smoker in any kind of mood, Carson can go through half a pack to a full pack of cigarettes a day, not even realizing that he is.
all reason aside i just can't deny, love the guy...
Hometown: Dublin, Ireland/River City
History: Carson O'Riley was eight years old when his parents left Ireland, moving to River City to start a new life. They were soon followed by his mother's sister and her family, and the Kavanaugh's moved in with the O'Riley's, to help get themselves started. Life before leaving Ireland had been simple, though financially difficult. The financial troubles didn't lessen much after they moved to River City, though with time, the family got more and more comfortable. Despite being cousins, Carson and Declan were raised as if they were in fact brothers, both protecting Cassidy as their little sister. With just half a month separating them in age, they never had much reason to be apart, so they weren't. The pair were thick as thieves, though they never thought about taking on the criminal activity for themselves. They were raised in a strict Catholic home, and there was no argument when it came to right and wrong.
It was when he was thirteen that Carson started developing his own identity, outside of the one he shared with his cousin, as a trouble maker. While Declan started getting more and more interested in girls, Carson continued to be his jokester self, more interested in laughing than flirting. An older boy in their neighborhood introduced them to the Irish mob, and the duo became soldiers for the Irish, finding that they enjoyed it quite a bit.
Carson, especially, enjoyed the work that he was given. He worked hard, liking the adrenaline rush he got when he pulled off something dangerous or illegal. He saved all the money he earned doing jobs, and when he was sixteen, he bought himself a motorcycle and taught himself how to ride it. It became his new favorite thing, the rush he got from riding it all but addictive. He continued saving his money, and when he graduated high school, got what he needed together, got a loan, and opened his club, O'Riley's.
Even as he was struggling to start up his business, Carson's personal life was going through it's own insane changes. He'd fallen in love with a girl in the Irish mob, and had been attempting to woo her, but before he could make a real move, she and his cousin got together. Even though he'd not made many moves to get her, Carson not only was in love with the girl, but had been planning out a proposal to her, imagining a future with her. She and Declan were happy together at first, his playboy cousin calming down, and even proposing when he found out that the girl was pregnant with his child. They got married, and months later, had a baby girl, Brenna. The couple was oblivious to Carson's misery, even as they asked him to be godfather to their daughter. He agreed, and has taken care of her as if she was his own daughter since.
Despite being miserable in his personal life, Carson didn't let it affect his business, and quickly turned O'Riley into a popular club, which it continues to be. Love is still very unlucky for him, but he's still fairly hopeful, and genuinely wants a family one day, though he's not sure if he'd be able to settle down yet, loving his adrenaline rushes and running his business far too much to give it up easily.
