EXIT STRATEGY: While one brother was being unmade by a demon and the other brother (the one near him, that is to say, Matthew, who was being also unmade by the same demon) the unmaking started to spread. In that time and while Matthew was coming literally undone (booooo) Declan got up to try and find something - anything - to stop this, and found, instead, a portal. Hoping to find help, because his life is a magical shitshow and he’s the only normal thing in it, instead he found, well. This.
MORALITY: Declan is extremely family oriented, despite the fact that some might not believe so, and he’s also intensely protective of the people in that family. Even when he’s fighting with or not speaking to or strictly on punching terms with them, he’s still keeping an eye out. His morality is always to protect his family, and he’ll do anything for that (which includes killing people). He’s pragmatic to the core, doing what needs to be done, without heed for his own comfort (he did, after all, allow a fight with his brother to wage for two years instead of sitting Ronan down and explaining why Niall chose what he chose for their family, which might have actually saved everyone a lot of grief, for the sake of keeping Ronan a little innocent a little longer of his father’s carelessness). In that regard, his morality always turns to what needs to be done. It must also be said that he has a politician's heart and so he is driven by his ambition as well.
WAR ATTITUDES: Declan is a fighter in as much as he’ll fight for his family, and that being his family survival. This doesn’t mean he’s passive, and he understands that survival can mean the survival of his whole world, so he’ll likely take an interest in the needs of fighting D.E.S.T.I.N.Y to perpetuate his own world and to protect it for that reason. His pragmatic side will absolutely see a need to establish himself well here, so he wouldn’t just be for that, however, and he would take an interest in the affairs of this world as well.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Declan is pretty bad at intimate relationships, possibly due to the fact that he was raised to keep an eye out on his brothers. This isn’t to say that he’s not good at faking it, however, and has been said to be a bit of a playboy (man-whore is actually the term used) when it comes to ladies. He makes friends fast, because he’s extremely charming, but those relationships seem to mostly be on a surface level in his own world, because naturally, he has so many secrets that he absolutely needs to protect, particularly the ones surrounding his brothers and his family. In this one, he might be willing to be a bit more open if the relationship becomes particularly meaningful, but it would take a great deal of work. Romantic relationships are absolutely possible, but in general will likely be very easygoing affairs; Declan has a particularly low perception of love when it comes to himself.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: He’s likely to really get involved in the situation of his family’s involvement, which is to say: he’ll always do whatever needs to be done to protect them. If that means getting involved in missions, then that’s what he’ll do. As pragmatic as he is, he’ll likely measure everything out in terms of value, both in value for him, and value for the greater good. He’s a politician at heart so part of him would want to get involved in that as well - not necessarily politics, but in the inevitable leadership that would arise from a situation like this one, with a very distinct bent of personal gain as the end result.
