Name: Robert Michael Corrigan
Age: 32
Species: Hunter
PB: Jon Bernthal
Occupation: Bouncer, bartender, pool shark, various other things

Personality: Close-mouthed when he's not in the field, Rob prefers urban living rather than residing in the country side, though he spent some time camping as a younger man. The noise a city makes when it's very late and very early appeals to him, from the hum of traffic to the occasional bird call, and he sometimes spends the night up on the roof of wherever he's staying just to sit and listen to it.

Likes: Chinese food, action movies, guns, western novels, hustling pool, poker.

Dislikes: Cheesy pop music, self-righteous non-smokers, cold coffee, commercials, irresponsibility.

Strengths: Above-average strength and speed, being able to recognize supernatural creatures

Weaknesses: As prone to injury as a normal human, tends toward being overconfident in his abilities.

History: The only child of Sean Corrigan, Rob was expected from a very young age to take up hunting, learn to protect himself and others from the supernatural. It wasn't optional, so it was his good fortune that he developed a talent for it and an enjoyment of it. Big for his age, he had his real fight on a hunt when he was twelve, coming home with a broken arm. But happy, because he'd won, and it seemed to make his father proud.

There weren't many other kids his age around; most of the other families wanted their children to focus on school, and so kept them largely occupied with homework and other activities. But Rob was an indifferent student at best and so didn't mind focusing his attention elsewhere. He was strong and fast, and despite his outwardly quiet nature could be intensely violent in a fight.

He had only met his cousin Rhiannon on scattered holidays, though he'd sensed a shift in the house when there was a late-night phone call, his father's muffled voice down the hall. They lived in Fort Wayne then, close enough to travel, and they made the five hour drive to attend Ciara's funeral. It was probably the only time he'd seen his father fight off tears, and he took it to heart when he gave his halting condolences, a hand on the younger girl's shoulder.

The first time they ever sparred, Rob had been wary of this girl who looked enough like him that he could see the resemblance, and so he was careful at first. But the first time he hit her for real, she launched herself at him with an angry yell, fighting with spirit if not skill, and any ambivalence he might have harbored melted like snow in the rain. After that, they were as close or closer than any siblings

It wasn't until she moved in with them, once they'd taken up residence in Chicago, that things became strained. Sean's demanding nature coupled with a lack of money, and eventually Rhiannon went her own way. Rob would often try to play peacemaker, but even his efforts could only do so much good. After she left, he spent three nights up on the roof of their house, trying to get used to knowing that things would never be the same.

A much slower schism has recently come to pass. Sean's recklessness caused him to declare open season on Searchlight, and Rob's intervention drove a wedge between father and son. After he was released from the hospital, the younger Corrigan decided to leave Chicago on a long-term basis, taking some of the people who had fallen in with him, non-bloodline hunters. He's finally getting out of the long shadow his father has always thrown, and while the road ahead is uncertain, he's ready for whatever happens next.

Plots and possible plots: Family stuff with Rhiannon, friendships, maybe adopting a less black and white approach to hunting.
