Background
Ronan has always shown a intense interest in hockey, since he was a young kid. His father played in hockey clubs before his passing, and he taught Ronan how to play hockey. As soon as Ronan could at age 5, his parents entered him into the nearby hockey youth club, Nottingham's Lions juniors. Ronan remained there until he graduated Sixth Form College.

Ronan was going to remain in the UK for college and to play hockey. However Eastwood University in Massachusetts' offered him a complete free athletic ride. He did accept, and moved to Massachusetts for college, where he has played as a Timberwolf for two years. He just recently got Captain, going into his third year of college. He has gone to the Olympics, during his second year of college, representing team Great Britain in hockey, where he became popular as one of the youngest players on the team. Team Great Britain did make it to the finals, and barely pulled off a win by a point, but it did skyrocket Ronan and the rest of the team into the spotlight.

Physical Appearance
Ronan stands at a decent 6'0 and weighs around 197 pounds and is considered quite lean and muscular. His build is quite athletic and well-proportioned. He has a solid frame, but is not too bulky. He is built for explosiveness and stamina mostly, with strong shoulders and chest. His forearms are also quite muscular for great grip strength, where he has also developed a powerful core stability for balance. His lower body is powerful, with decently muscular thighs and calves. He is right hair dominant, and can sort of do things with his left.

He has jet black hair that is in a low taper fade style. His hair is slightly curly, with it being short/smooth on the sides and fading near the ears and neck, while there are thick curls left a little longer near the top. He usually attempts to keep it somewhat neat for formal events, but for the most part it remains messy from his helmet and him running a hand through it. He has startling ice blue eyes that can be compared to the color of the winter sky just before snowfall. When he is angry or even trying to intimdate somebody, they are ice cold, a cutting blue like frozen steel. However, whenever he is being soft and happy, they are a gentler blue that brightens and even seems to thaw when he smiles.

Ronan sports an sun-warmed olive skin tone. Furthermore, he seems to be evenly tanned acros his whole body, probably from nude tanning. He most often likes to remain pretty much clean-shaven, however he does sport a very subtle hint of stubble. Like a faint shadow, just enough to add definition to his face. One of his most distinguishing features are his freckles and his dimple. His freckles are hard to see sometimes, and they usually only pop in the sunlight. They are a smattering of light freckles across his cheekbones, and there is a slight dimple in his right cheek when he gives a genuine smile.

He does have his fair of scars from hockey and childhood shenanigans. Such as a thin scar that starts on his jaw and stretches down towards his chin, it is not very long, and on his right side of his face. He also has a shoulder scar that bothers him more. It is a faint, pale, slightly puckered scar over his left shoulder from a previous hockey collision that nearly ended his career. It still twinges sometimes, especially if he overstretches himself. He also has a tattoo, just one, that is a medium size. It is located on his right upper chest, almost near his collarbone. It is phoenix wings that are partially extended with his father's initals just underneath the right wing.

Ronan is always seen wearing a silver necklace that sports a small silver cross on it, which is a family heirloom that he wears as memory to his father and good luck on the ice.

He has a couple of outfits that people can find him in. Such as his on ice appearance, which is one of his most common ones. When he is in uniform, he is in his standard hockey uniform. Which sports shoulder pads, elbow guards, hockey pants, shin guards, gloves, skates, and the jersey. He also has his helmet with the visor, which usually has a few of his curls peeking out from underneath. He often fidgets with his mouthguard a lot, so if he is not in action, it can be seen sticking out of his mouth as he chews on it.

Whenever he is in a casual fit, he prefers jeans and joggers. However he is typically in sports wear since he likes to work out, such as t-shirts or tank tops. However, whenever it gets chilly, he'll pop a hoodie (in neutral colors) on. His go-to shoes are typically sneakers.

Whenever he has a social/formal event to go to such as a social gathering for hockey, he can be found in a dark-colored tailored, slim-fit suit paired with dress shoes. He usually likes to leave the first few buttons of the white dress shirt unbuttoned, revealing a little bit of his chest. If he doesn't have to wear the suit jacket, he takes it off, and his sleeves are usualy rolled up to reveal his forearms. Then finally, he has what people call the gameday fit. Which is what he wears on gamedays before and after he gets into/out of the jersey. It is usually a nice top of some kind (like a button up) that sports the team's color and/or logo. He pairs them with nice jeans or athletic pants and a team hat, which he likes to wear backwards.
Voice
His voice is slightly deep, yet smooth with a tint of richness. He usually remains very calm and authoritative. It lightens when he is teasing or being playful, and gets deathly intimating when he gets angry. His accent is heavy enough to tell he’s from Great Britain, but not so much you cannot understand him. Short, crisp vowels, clear consonants, and a friendly Northern lilt

Personality
On an outward appearance, Ronan is always quite charismatic and composed. As Captain, he usually ends up in interviews, and he has mastered how to stay calm and collected during them. Although the paparazzi and media often try to rattle him during interviews or even public appearances, it is almost impossible to do. He is typically polished and professional, keeping his responses thoughtful and careful without opening up. He can be slightly playful and witty, as he knows how to entertain, amuse, and charm. The media considers him the ideal athlete, mostly humble and kind, but a little bit on the cocky side.

His team typically sees that same side of him that he shows the media. However, they do get a little bit more of Ronan's real personality. He is fiercely loyal to his team and even quite protective of them. While he is not the bestest of friends with everybody on his team, he gets along well enough with them. He still doesn't open up very much and there is only a couple of people on the team that can claim that they are close friends with Ronan. He kind of just likes to keep to himself if he can. However, he is a fantastic Captain. He encourages everybody on his team, makes sure that everybody is doing good. He can get a little stern and strict during practices and games, but always does his best to go back, slow down, and help if there was a mess up.

He does have a much more vulnerable side. He is undoubtly loyal to a fault and incredibly protective, going as far as even starting (or finishing) a fight on ice for his teammates. This more vulnerable side of him is much more playful and teasing and is more likely to be emotional open. Although he still struggles to open up, he'll express himself much better. His rare smiles become more common and much more genuine, and so does his laughter.

Furthermore he is a very resilient and persistent person. He isn't somebody who backs down easy, not even the career threatening injury he took to his shoulder. Ronan is also quite intelligent and a strategic, making him a quick thinker on the ice. He is also a very observant person on and off the ice, but that is because he is a quiet person, he just kind of watches. His instincts and reflexives are highly developed which is very beneifical for hockey.
Weaknesses/Flaws
Ronan is a terrible overthinker, especially when it comes to hockey, and even more so as Captain. He worries that he is not living up to the Captain role and wonders on a daily if he even deserves to be Captain. Furthermore, he has a bad habit of keeping things to him self and just bottle it up. It is hard for him to open up emotional. For example, he tells anybody who asks, that he is happy that his father is no longer in pain. However, in reality, his father's death crushed him, and he never properly/healthly dealt with it.

Anxiety is also a big flaw of his, as it leads to him getting incredibly antsy and even tempermental. His old injury bothers him more often than he likes to admit, and anytime the same situation (that led to the incident) starts to arise, it freaks him out and the anxiety can make him balk or freeze. Although it is brief and hard to see, sometimes it is just enough to mess with Ronan. Usually, he tries to cope by fidgeting, a lot, usually with his hands or his mouthguard. He also becomes much more tenser and aggressive on the ice. This also ties into his isolation, since he struggles opening up emotional, he just kind of isolates himself. If things start to get to much (if he can), he usually just isolates himself.

He also has a decently bad physical limitation, which is his old shoulder injury. It healed and he went to PT, but sometimes he can overextend it which causes a powerful flash of pain that causes him to miss shots or passes. Sometimes it is so bad, he can't move it.
Fears/Insecurities/Mental Health
Ronan is deeply afraid of losing people due to the unexpected passing of his father and the fact he rarely gets to see his mother anymore. So, he avoids the risk by avoiding emotional connections. He will make friends and be friendly and playful with his teammates, but he still keeps them at a certain distance.

He is also afraid of injuries and becoming unable to play hockey. Hockey is his life, he loves it so much. It was something that he and his father loved to do together, and he is good at it. It is the only thing he's ever been certain about, so he fears that one day he will become unable to play anymore.
Strengths
Ronan has incredible mental resilience. Even though he has all these fears, stress, and anxiety, he pushes himself past it as hard as he can. It is not a good coping method, but he handles pressure and criticism well, and it is incredibly hard to unnerve him. He deals with his stress and anxiety by pushing it as far back as he can, and giving it all he can.

He is a phenomenal strategic thinker with expectional awareness on and off the ice. This is one of his greatest strengths on the ice, along with making quick decisions on the ice for his team. He also has very good leadership skills and is an incredible motivator, and even though he is closed off, he knows the perfect things to say to help soothe, reassure, and motivate his teammates.

He also has an incredible build and physical skills. He was built to be a center, and he does it phenomenally. He also works hard to remain in shape, and he spends a lot of his free time on the ice to hone and build his skills. He knows there is always room to improve and continues to strive for growth.
Relationships
Connor Wycliffe
Father. Dead. He and Ronan were incredibly close, his father was the one who taught him to play hockey. The unexpected death of his father hit him hard.
Amelia Wycliffe
Mother. Alive. She and Ronan are incredibly close, and unfortunately they do not get to see each other very often. Typically once a year during the off-season. Making it harder on both of them whenever his father passed
Blake Austin
Best Friend. Alive. Blake is also a junior, and is not only Ronan's best friend but his teammate and lives with Ronan and Tucker in a nice three bed/three and a half bath townhouse about ten minutes away from campus. Blake, Ronan, and Tucker became close friends in camp before they even officially started college, and have been best friends ever since. Especially since they are all on the same line.
Tucker Callahan
Best Friend. Alive. Also a junior, Ronan's teammate and roommate (with Blake). Like Blake, he is quite close to Ronan. The three are never far from each other (maybe except for classes), and are a powerhouse when on the same line as each other.
