Siobhán O'Riley
"Everybody wants to be an astronaut, and take the long tall trail into the stars." - Royal Republic
General information
Name: Siobhán O'Riley
Nickname: Usually at the mercy of everyone else’s creativity, failing that: Shiv or Riley.
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Nationality: Irish (You don’t say?)
Defining trait: Inquisitiveness — a need to understand how and why everything works, people and programs alike.
Partner: Vemmon (Psyker Landshark)
Why were they partnered: She’s the only idiot who didn’t flinch when the poor thing appeared, falling apart at the seams. Just saw data begging to be debugged and gave it a go—talked it through stabilizing, and it stuck. Now she’s responsible for mothering it, apparently. Grand.
Digivice appearance: A compact, hexagonal device resembling a digital wristwatch clipped to her belt. The white-green casing emits a soft data pulse when active, its face displaying shifting lines of code instead of static icons.
Appearance
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 140 lbs
Build: Long-limbed and lanky — “a walking stick,” as she puts it, though her appetite could fool you.
Skin tone: Pale and freckled. Sunbathing sits comfortably at the very bottom of her life goals, cheers.
Facial structure: Neck-length curly ginger hair, bright green eyes, soft round face — and no facial hair, you mad person.
Outstanding details: Square-rimmed glasses, a small piercing on her left brow, two in her left ear, and a barcode tattoo on the inside of her right wrist made entirely of 1s and 0s.
Clothing preferences: Jeans, sneakers, and her signature duo-tone hoodie — one side washed grey, the other deep red. Loose, comfy, and well-worn. She dresses for function, not fashion, and has the audacity to be fine with that.
Body language: Relaxed and slouched by default, usually wearing an easy smile. Pushes her glasses up when she’s thinking too much. She’s not exactly “laid-back” — just quietly entertained by the chaos of it all.
Biography
Family situation: Parents are alive but rarely around. Calls come irregularly, usually when something needs fixing. “Comfortably lonesome,” as she calls it — quiet, manageable, not tragic.
Education: PhD in Data Science — or as she puts it, “proof I spent too long staring at glowing rectangles.” She’s a systems researcher by trade, freelancing for some high-end Japanese tech conglomerate.
General world skills: Knows her way around the basics — cooking, cleaning, managing her own schedule — but her real strengths lie in perception and pattern recognition.
Special skills: Programming (both front-end and systems-level), basic hardware tinkering, a knack for debugging almost anything digital — and, oddly enough, brewing beer. It started as a data project involving fermentation patterns and got out of hand.
Personal history: Siobhán’s philosophy: “If you have to ask, don’t.” That about sums her up. No tragic backstory, no hidden royalty. Just a Dublin girl raised by decent parents, with a stubborn streak and a good head for numbers. She took every opportunity that came her way, and when the chance to work abroad appeared, she didn’t think twice. The world is vast, data is infinite, and she’s got questions.
Personality
Positive character traits: Perceptive, inventive, calm under pressure, quietly resilient.
Negative character traits: Antagonistic (if you’re being a hard ass, she’ll feed the flames), socially skeptical, stubborn, emotionally guarded beneath the sarcasm.
Likes and hobbies: Programming (obviously), brewing beer, chiptune music, late-night coding sessions, dry humor, the sound of rain, and the satisfying click of a bug finally fixed.
Dislikes and fears: Sprouts (culinary evil), bees (allergic), dogs (one bit her once, she remembers), people who take themselves too seriously, losing control of a situation, being condescended to.
Digidestined's motivation: Her analytical knack must’ve tripped some flag in the system, because if anyone fits in a world made of data, it’s her. Still, she’s not here out of duty — she’s here because curiosity got the better of her, and honestly, she’s fine with that. Understanding the Digital World feels like solving the most fascinating bug report imaginable.
General Notes: Siobhán isn’t distant so much as deflective — she hides sincerity behind a smirk and lets humour fill the spaces where sentiment might otherwise live. She’s sharp, occasionally infuriating, but never cruel. Get past the sarcasm, and you’ll find someone who genuinely listens — even if she’ll deny it later.

There’s a steady warmth under her irony, the sort that slips through in the smallest gestures: remembering what someone said three days ago, fixing something without being asked, sharing a joke when tension starts to choke the room. She doesn’t wear her care openly — it leaks out sideways, disguised as mockery or offhand wit.

Siobhán is an observer by nature, a thinker first and speaker second, but when she does talk, she means every word (even the biting ones). Her humour can sting, sure, but it’s rarely aimless — it’s how she filters chaos, how she stays grounded when the world, digital or otherwise, starts to tilt. Beneath all that dry commentary lies a quiet optimism she won’t admit to — the belief that things can make sense if you look at them long enough, and that people, for all their mess, are usually worth the patience.
Tamer equipment

Optional mechanic for tamer type characters, list which four digi-modify cards they start with. Each card can only be used once in a single battle. Digivolution cards are not permitted.

(Might work on this when partners have been decided. Feels a bit weird pre-emptively picking cards)

Personal touches
Misc:
Voice: Cait (Fallout 4) — dry Irish lilt, soft-spoken but biting when she wants to be.
