| Iain Lachlann Stuart-Kirkland Iain Lachlann Stuart-Kirkland - gosh be glad that on papers it's not the gaelic version of his name. (That would be Eoin Lachlann Stiùbhard-Kirkland.) But of course putting long names aside, he's that genius when it comes to engineering, physics, the sciences, and even if he isn't exactly computer savvy like their resident government hacker, he's pretty good himself (or so he likes to believe). Then again, perhaps this is what is expected of all Quartermasters. |

Cheap Much to everyone's distain, the Q Division of MI6 is on limited funds, thus they must hoard every single piece of metal, information, junk, and scraps they can get their hands on. This is no exclusion to Iain - perhaps that would explain why his inventions are... 'useful' and 'makes sense'. Of course, he's originally cheap anyway, not wanting to spend the funds they have and saving it as much as possible. He's going to protect those funds like how a fangirl would protect her idol or something of the sort. Eccentric ... That's a nicer way to describe Iain in the case. You wouldn't find another man who would like to get haggis like him or even feel normal wearing a kilt with no pants to work. He got his own way of doing things and well, it's not like he really gives a care about anyone's opinion about the things he does and the things he wants to do. Grumpy There are few moments where Iain is cheerful, there's a lot of moments where Iain is grumpy - namely because he's with a crowd he doesn't like. Throw him in a room with a younger sibling of his, he will dread it. Throw him in a room with his best friend, he will love it. The thing is, the company dictates how his mood shall be. Incongruous Doesn't it seem like... Iain is hiding something and it looks really out of place? Well, anyway, there's something he is hiding and it's very out of place if you know the ginger as a close friend. He's mentally safe-guarding it with layers upon layers of mental bricks and emotional barriers. He's very secretive about his past, even if he knows that M16 knows his background better than himself - and that bothers him... very much. Yet, even if they know what happened to him, it still doesn't explain the thing he's hiding about himself... Nope, not at all. Intelligent This has to be quite obvious to be working the Quartermaster. Iain is inventive to say the least and is always interesting in knowing how things are built. This extends to him enjoying logic puzzles of every kind (even Professor Layton where he might be play while working). Many gadgets given to the agents were designed by Iain and the researchers themselves, often going through multiple tests so they won't kill the agents on the field on accident. While he is intelligent, it's quite often that no one aside from a few researchers would hold must interest in his mumblings of ingenuity. He often plan things ahead, giving agents the tools they need to lead them in the right direction rather than a gun to shot their way through their mission. No, it's always Patriotic/Ethinic Pride Even if he has a rebellious trait in his personality, there's one thing that is true. Iain is proud to be of Scottish and he would never regret being Scottish - what's there to regret except for the fact to be viewed as barbaric skirt wearing men with no pants... and pants as in underpants. Of course, much to his distain of being under the general web known as "British", he serves his nation well no matter what. If the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is heading on a one-way trip to hell because the Queen went nuts... well, he'll continue to serve his country until the end. Rebellious Iain... he doesn't exactly follow the rules exactly, nor does he really follow the direct orders to his supervisors to the word. He always look around for loop holes, and if an agent had asked of him to do something that for sure, someone higher up isn't going to like, he will do it. He is Quartermaster after all, and they would need someone of his equal intelligence to know what he's doing anyway. His rebellious personality stems from a point in his life where he would never listen to his parents and go against almost everything his siblings would say or suggest. Romanic Not many people know, but Iain is a romantic fellow. He's romantic when no one is around that is, always enjoying romance novels to romance television shows. He used to be all about public display of affection, used to be really. Imagine that, a man like him making smoochie faces and pinch cheeks. Very hard to believe, but that did happen one time in his life. That's in the past now of course. Rough Despite being a researcher, Iain is quite physical with people. A pat on the back, a nudge on the head, Stubborn It's a good and bad thing to have. Iain is the type of man to get things done one way or another, as in, he will give his agents their equipment that he had selected for them no matter what everyone else tells him. If he wants to give a water gun and a feather shooter to Vash, Vash will get those 'gadgets' of his one way or another. Of course, he's even stubborn to his believes, often saying, "Two rules: rule one: if I'm wrong, I'm right. Rule two: If I'm still wrong, refer to rule one." Yes, that stubborn. He holds himself with high regard, and often won't listen to what other people would have to say about a situation. Temperamental The ginger is a very moody man, who from one second can be offering you a congratulations to the next, picking a fight with you because you said something wrong. A lot of things can annoy the man, such as your level of intelligence, how many questions you ask, how ignorant you are, etc. It's been warned by many people that an agent should simply accept the tools he would have for a mission, because without him who else is there to feed information to the men and women on the field? Don't be asking why in the world is he giving you a feather blaster, but simply accept it since he can get on his bad side so easily. |

Alcohol Be glad he doesn't drink on the job. Culture He isn't a xenophobic and enjoys studying all types of cultures with rich history. Entertainment Iain hates being bored, so this is rather self-explainatory. Whatever he considers 'entertainment' varies a lot on his mood. Fire It's beautiful. French and Scottish Cuisine French cuisine is the second best thing he had ever ate in his life. The first is being Scottish cuisine since he grew up eating it, thus had gotten used to the Inventions It's a part of his job to be inventing and making gadgets. It's fun to make new things also - try pushing your imagination to the limits and making sure it works for the people you made it for. Literature Iain enjoys reading good fiction, romance novels, and the classical writings. He doesn't show his vast knowledge of books unless the situation calls for some crazy code with the answers laying within a book. He enjoys reading poetry and suspense books in general. Logic/Puzzle Games It passes the time and they're fun to do. Giving puzzles to other people to see them getting frustrated is also enjoyable. Music He isn't picky exactly, but classical, jazz, pop and rock, and traditional music is his top genres of music. Outdoor Sports He may be bad at them, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying it and even playing it. Then again, he's probably only good at golf... Office mini golf anyone? Romanic Frenchies Don't ask. Saving Money It feels good saving £4 on something, no? Iain finds it very enjoyable. Smoking Screw that he has mild asthma, if he's going to die because of some stupid chronic disease one day, let it be him doing something he likes. Technology He likes inventing technology. Him not liking technology is insane. The ginger enjoys finding out on how things work. | Annoying People Self-explanatory Answering Questions Can one just simply hold off the questions on the reasoning behind his every actions, thoughts, and feelings? Don't waste time with "How's the weather?" Asthma It's very annoying for Iain. Braveheart Why did the movie had to butcher up so much history? Simply because it was terrible, that's why. (Okay well the action was pretty good.) Doctors Doctors are for sissies. Medications They all taste disgusting and they are all a waste of money. Nothing but a day off and a hot bowl of scotch broth can't fix, yes... even if one has a broken leg, broth can fix anything. His Inhaler What inhaler? You mean the one in the trash? Idiocy Because the world has enough idiot people, who would want more of it going around like a terrible disease? Ignorant Masses Not every British person speaks the Queen's English. Insults about his Cooking His cooking is the best, thank you. Refer to his rules if you ever doubt his words. People Self-explanatory. Wasting Money The Q Division is already low on funds, we do not need to shrink our funding even more. |

To Own Five Dogs It's a silly little wish that Iain would most definitely love to have come true. After all, he's a lover of all animals, but if there's one thing he must love the most, it must be dogs - big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs - all of them are simply wonderful. At the moment, he only has one, a deerhound named Aiden. He wishes to have more dogs, but his current position in life prevents him so. After all, keeping five dogs at home, when he doesn't even visiting home often, is a very bad idea. To Become the Best Quartermaster Cliche, he knows. But he wants to get him apart from everyone else - and at he moment he's doing pretty good. It's pretty rare to have Quartermasters in their thirties - especially when they became one in their late twenties. It was more often to have old geezers (like fifty years olds) to be promoted to this rank of extreme importance. Now, since he is Quartermaster, it's time to put "good" use in Q Division's funding for "weapons". To Stitch Together a Tattered Family Just... a very personal dream that he's striving to achieve perhaps most of the time in his life. Though not really expressed out of all of his desires it's on his top list. He's been trying to do so secretly, indirectly, without bringing up as a topic of conversation that they should really make an effort to show some love now and again. But having them underneath his watch at least soothes his heart somewhat. | "Bad Food" Never in his life does Iain want to eat something so vile. The man is 'frugal' but his taste buds have a limit to how much of such a terrible thing they can handle. Honestly, if he had to pick between forever eating fried mars bars or English cuisine, he'd rather kill himself with the oil, fat, and sugar. He grew up eating bad English food so he would like to keep on not eating it anymore. Boredom His mind works at a much faster rate than most people. What they probably consider extreme and exciting might be boring for the ginger. He needs something to constantly occupy him for his mind can also easily wander around. This is perhaps why Iain has a lot of things he likes doing like sports or writing. Inventing helps to cease his boredom also. Lost of "Independence" At the moment, being at the head of the Q Division is very nice. He has a group to be bossy over and he can do almost anything he wants if it follows the rules and escapes through loopholes. It's not actual independence, but at the moment, it's good for Iain. He doesn't want his life to be dictated by a set of rules or being constantly dictated by a higher-up. Lost of Identity Perhaps there's a reason why Iain the Genius is so eccentric. Yet, perhaps it's never been proven exactly. The man always wanted to be different from everyone. He wanted to be different from his siblings, different from his classmates, different than his co-workers, and different than all of the previous Quartermaster before him. He wants to be different and stand out in the crowd at times. Take that away and who is he exactly? There's a reason why he is making an effort to preserve the culture that he connected himself so strongly with. |
| Background |
Iain was born in a family of many ethnicities and would honestly would just like to label himself as Scottish from there. His family was a very big family, consisting of many brothers, sisters, adopted children, and cousins. They all often fought and well... that is what to be expected of children: they fight without really meaning it. He was a energetic lad who's a quick learner. Of course, said energetic lad got into fights with a handful of his family members... a lot. He don't talk of it, but it's plain as day to see that when the conversation moves to this topic, he avoids it. Of course, the most known information was that he really didn't get along with these members of his family and would often have argues that would escalate to fights in the home. This continued on to his tenth year when they made a truce on how to work things out in the family. Of course, by this time, many members left and even a few more had joined, Iain was unable to make close bonds with many of his family members aside from a very small handful (as in with perhaps one or two of them). Yet, lucky for Iain, when he graduated from secondary he started taking classes in advanced math and physics and moved on to engineering in theory and design (taking a few extra courses for computer engineering also). During this time, his money was very little and he lived off whatever he could get his hands on. Most of the time, he hates cutting coupons, it's an American thing, not British. He had a very Spartan lifestyle just like any average person in college would have and quickly became very stingy with his money... very stingy Of course, being a study-holic, Iain was able to fill some life of his with romance... and while it looked like it went very well in the beginning, he was the one to end it. Once more, personal, very personal information. After many years of studying, paying tuition, and living on the almost bare minimums, Iain was able to earn degrees in engineering and engineering technology. Seeming proud of himself - and not to mention, being thrown into a dare by a friend - Iain actually did fill out an online application for one of MI6's technology roles, and was asked to be go to many, many interviews. Those interviews consisted of talking and various tests on IT skills and programs. And you know what? He was accepted. Iain was only in his mid-to-late twenties when he was recruited in and was put to work very quickly. After years of working with the Q Division, the previous Quartermaster retired and Iain was promoted to take charge. Now he runs the still ever hectic Q Division whilst pestering the higher ups for more funding for their research. After all, aside on experiments and tests to make the lives of agents safer, the members of Q Division do try to complete their own personal research. |

He didn’t know what he was thinking back then. “Back then” as in when he was walking over to work from his (rather nice) apartment and had found a lone kitten, left in a cardboard box to fend for itself in this world. Now, Iain had a soft spot for large animals; be it the highland cattle or a german shepherd, he loves them all. Yet deep down somewhere, his love also extends to the animals left abandoned or even the animals that are of the smaller nature. In the end, as the little Scottish Fold looked into his soul with big eyes and folded ears he took it with him too work. The lab members were surprised to see their manly Quartermaster bringing in a stray cat, and not to mention, a cute stray cat. However, they went back to their own business since they’ve also seen their Quartermaster sewing sheep dolls (which in their own unique way was cute too). The agents that visited him today wasn’t as understanding or accepting of the Quartermaster with the cat. They teased their Quartermaster for it, especially Donald, Sadiq, and Mathias. it was always those three, always them. Yet he brushed them aside, even if Sadiq seemed to be more interested helping on caring for the cat. But the redhead know from the beginning that he couldn’t keep this cat in the lab. It’s not confirmed by anyone, but rumors fly about, saying that the Quartermaster was raising raptors, real live dinosaurs, in the deepest depths of MI6. However, that’s just silly. Resurrecting the extinct was never a good idea, it would just be Jurassic Park all over again. They were just rumors and Iain himself would know what the hell he was doing. Another moment where animals were kept in the lab was when he captured that spider that Donald was screaming bloody murder about. Sheesh, it was just a spider - and it was a helpful spider. Any annoying pests were kept away. As in, Donald steered clear away from his older-brother’s belongings in the corner of the lab. Unfortunately the spider died when it was sitting in Donald’s pants drawer and when the ginger decided to do the “stop, drop, and roll” maneuver when he discovered the creature’s presence in his undies. Yeah, Donald panicked there. He could just just took his pants off after all, but no. He had to panic and murder the poor creature in his underwear. It was for sure that the Irishman was scarred for good. But back to the actual topic, having an animal in the lab was still not a good thing. He already had to deal with most of the smelly researchers - Femke was sure to have bring in some air freshener. He swears that the rest of the researchers, even if they leave the lab more than him, don’t keep up with good hygiene. The Scotsman himself at least take the time to do a good scrub in the shower, because just splashing some water doesn’t make you clean automatically. But yes, no animals in the lab unless you’re asking for it to disappear for good. They had just finished cleaning up the mice in the lab (blame a certain researcher that accidently forgot to lock the goddamned cages) and the lab was not ready to deal with more living creatures that’s not of the human race. Yet, he doesn’t know what to do with the poor thing. He can’t just really drop it at the adoption center, no. He needs to make sure that the kitten finds the right owners - not to mention, it’s still needs to feed and rest. It has already moved around so much in just one day. Which lead to his current problem know. At the park with a kitten that is only two weeks old in a new cardboard box lined with cushion and even a portable heating pad. Iain was no stranger to stray animal caretaking. So, when he was given a chance in the lab, he already checked if it had any fleas and whatnot and already fed it. But how, it’s feeding time again. Ah, poor little kitten, the Quartermaster himself already has a lot to worry about - and not to mention, a very large dog. If only he could find someone else to take care of it... Well at least help him until he finds an appropriate owner. |
