CIVILIAN . BELLAMY, NIALL

Niall Killian Bellamy

Charming. Benevolent. Romantic.

Niall has come to settle for Neil over the years, since he's come to realize that not everyone can pronounce his name correctly on their first try (those who actually can get major brownie points from him). The nickname is used much more frequently when he's out on the town in order to keep his identity a secret.

twenty-eight

November 8th of 1984

Male

Heterosexual

Civilian

As the eldest child of the Bellamy family, Niall is heir to the Bellamy conglomerate, which owns a variety of market-leading businesses which provide product and services to the industrial, energy, transportation and construction sectors with its main headquarters located in Los Angeles. He's acquired both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Business Management from Stanford University and does some major dealing with the family business from time to time, but with his father still very alive and kicking, it's not quite his turn to take over the business just yet. But he's not in any rush – his office is probably his least favorite place in the world.

Residence

Niall has the entire top floor of a luxury condominium building designed by his family’s company to himself, which consists of a large kitchen, spacious master bed and bathroom, living and dining room, leisure room, and roof garden with a crystal swimming pool accompanying it. It may seem like too large a space for a single man to occupy, but he happily shares his condo with his dog, Bailey, who has her own plush bed in the corner of his bedroom that’s hardly ever used, since Niall lets her crash on his own bed with him most of the time.

Appearance

Niall’s a pretty tall glass of water standing at 6'3". His hair is a coppery brown and his eyes are a brilliant green, both traits a testament to his Irish roots. Normally his sense of the style is quite dapper. You'll never see him in anything less than the best quality. Suits and dress shirts flatter him quite nicely, he can rock neckties and bowties with equal flair, and his dress shoes are always shined to perfection. His presence makes heads turn, and for good reason.

However, when he's out on the town on his days off, it's a completely different story. A simple T-shirt, sometimes accompanied by a vest, and jeans generally suffice for his casual excursions. You probably wouldn't be able to pick him out in a crowd in his casual style of dress, but then again, his main aim is to fit in.

personality

Niall exudes the cool, confident demeanor fitting of a corporation heir. His father would probably disagree and insist that he crack down more, but he doesn't pay the old man much mind. Niall is quite responsible, and is able to acknowledge and keep up his commitments to his family and the company well. However, the fruits of his labor mostly go unnoticed and he's often seen as far too carefree for a man his age. He wouldn't necessarily disagree with that, but when it comes down to it, he knows how to get the job done. With the teachings of his entrepreneur father and Stanford education under his belt, he's quite knowledgeable about how a company should be run. He harbors a work hard, play hard type of philosophy, and spends his time outside of company meetings and parties out on the streets of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas in an attempt to escape the corporate office and experience the life of an average Joe with no special treatment.

Although he's the heir of one of the top grossing companies in the nation, Niall isn't the least bit stingy. In fact, he's quite philanthropic, donating copious amounts of his own money money (against the beliefs of his father) to charities, relief organizations, research programs, hospitals, and his father's least favorite, animal shelters due to the fact that he has an immense soft spot for man's best friend. He's also quite generous on the streets as well, and always stops walking to donate to the unfortunate among other good deeds such as paying for the meal or price of a gas tank for a complete stranger. He doesn't perform these tasks for the recognition (hell, sometimes he performs these acts in complete secrecy), but rather because he believes in the power to make a difference in the lives of others, even if it may be a small one. His kindhearted nature has allowed him to make acquaintances of all class and races, in the corporate world and on the streets.

Niall's first instinct is to treat everyone with respect, friends or strangers alike. And as a gentleman, he's also chivalrous and also a bit flirtatious. Most of his advances are lighthearted in nature however. He chats up women as a means to gauge his interest, and only seriously pursues those he sees long-term potential in. He's not getting any younger and wants nothing less than a serious relationship in hopes of finding "the one," who has proven quite difficult to find. But even if he has developed a false reputation of a ladykiller, he's a rather agreeable individual who's easy to get along with and immensely charismatic with a large circle of friends and admirers. He rarely finds himself in disputes that aren't instigated by family which admittedly, is often. Anger rarely slips through his well maintained composure, but when it does, he tales it as more of a hurdle to cross rather than lose his cool, and takes the criticisms aimed at him calmly, carefully wording each counter in order to quell the ever present storms he has to weather. But no matter how much they may argue, he's very loyal and protective of his family members as well as his close comrades and is sure to take care of them with his resources.

History

Niall was born as the first child of Noland and Lyndsay Bellamy with a silver spoon in his mouth. He asked for nothing in his childhood with various maids and butlers waiting on his every command. Granted, he didn't ask for much as a kid. The only recurring request he made was for a puppy, but both of his parents denied him every time, valuing their furniture far more. Then again, he wouldn't have had much playtime to spend with a pet anyway, as most of his time was devoted to his studies. He was enrolled in the finest schools available all throughout grade school, and after his classes, his father would often take him to the company headquarters in order to teach him about the family business the way his father did before him, and this was pretty much all his early life consisted of. Even after he obtained his license and got his first luxury car, his daily schedule was almost always packed to the brim and his mother imposed a strict curfew of midnight for him and his siblings. Rebelling never particularly crossed his mind at the time, and that didn't really change until he reached the age of eighteen and went off to Stanford for his business degree.

College was the first real time away from home. Northern California was vastly different from Southern California, and with his parents the company building so far away, he was free to explore. In the eight years it took to obtain his bachelor's and master's degrees, Niall became accustomed to living and doing as he pleased save for the scheduled term vacations that required him to be back home. He frequented the bay area while in college, met more than a few friends and interesting characters he still keeps in touch with, and played the dating game completely outside the ring of marriage proposals he was used to. The experience was liberating, and he was very reluctant to leave after graduating. There was no escaping the post his father would assign him at the company, but at the eve of twenty-five, Niall decided that it was finally time to try and take a bit of control in his life. After a bit of eloquent persuasion, he got his own place close enough for the family to reach him if needed. And after picking out the furniture, he immediately drove to the closest animal shelter against his parents' wishes and brought home a golden retriever puppy named Bailey, who he deems as his number one girl as well as the only girl he can say he's ever loved, and uses this as an excuse every time the prospect of an arranged marriage is forcefully shoved into his face.

Now, Niall amazingly is able to walk the line between business and pleasure. Though he does spend a good amount of time in the cold interior of Bellamy Corporation illustrating business deals and giving orders in his father's place on occasion, ever since his college days, Niall has been quick to develop cabin fever. On the days where he isn't required to sit behind a corporate desk, he spends his time taking Bailey for a walk, grabbing street food, hitting the bar with some pals, or exploring the LA area. But as the adult son of the Bellamy family, he has a reputation to keep, and as such, tries his best to blend in when he goes out. He doesn't find the task particularly challenging, and finds a refreshing change of pace in living an ordinary life.
