history; http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Irvine_Kinneas

personality;
Irvine is a complicated person but can be divided into the ladies man, the gunner, and the all nice guy. He shows himself to be a compassionate and cautious person to the people around him. He is sensitive to all of friends and willing to help them through any type of problem or situation that provides it, no matter how ridiculous or dangerous the task. He is a loyal ally and companion, as well as a joker as well to lighten the mood or brighten someone’s day. He is also intuitive to people’s feelings and can tell if something is wrong, again, to help with their problems. However, he does keep others at arm’s length about his problems and often hide them through other means. Irvine tends to be a nice guy who likes to help, more than anything else.

Irvine is a laid back man, always enjoying the calm and quiet of life. Some may say he’s a bit lazy by doing this, but he sees it as living life to its fullest this way, even though it is lazing around. He sees that life is too precious to be always stressed and busy, and likes to try and get others to relax and not get worked up over the little things in life. However it can cause him to sometimes lose focus over some social and personal matters of his life, which in turn could turn him to be some sort of uncaring person, when in essence it is the quite opposite of that.

But with being a very enjoyable guy, comes his fighting side in the form of a sharpshooter. Sure Irvine is a lover and not a fighter, but when push comes to shove he is no pushover. He takes his missions seriously and will do anything to succeed in them. When his friends are in danger or hurt, he can be quite the aggressive fighter, throwing his caution to the wind if need be. His greatest of fears of losing the people he cares about, about messing up something and causing their downfall, or worse, their deaths. He also tends to use a lot of guns and weaponry rather than magical forces, because of his training at the Garden he was attending, which explains why his memory is a lot better than others from Balamb garden.

Then there is he tenacity with the ladies. Ah yes, Irvine with the ladies comes second hand to him, a true cowboy Casanova at best, using the lone gun man as his way of seducing them. Once Irvine finds a woman, any woman, that is in his range he will be ready and pounce on them, treating them like a princess, acting suave, and making him out to be the perfect man he can be. Until he sees someone else who’s better. But a simple quick slap upside his head will straight him back to the woman he was with.

first person sample;
You know sometimes I wonder, why I do it. Why I’m the way I am. I mean I’m a great shot, accuracy that no one has ever seen! Not to mention a way with the ladies that makes them melt, just when I walk into the room.

Still I have that feeling, maybe I shouldn’t be this great of a shot, that maybe my accuracy is a gift that I shouldn’t use. And that my way with women, should be holstered, lock and key.

Then I see the ladies crying at this, and know that this…this is my destiny to be the one and only lady killer.
