Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Fionn chuckled. “It's all good. We aren't known for a small bloodline anyway.” After regaining some arm strength, he picked up the books and moved them to the table where Stephen sat before he took a seat across from his cousin.
Stephen's answer marinated in his head before he nodded. “Ah. Yes, I believe I heard that through the grapevine.” Fionn remembered his mom saying something about it but he didn't want to commit to knowing if he knew the full truth or not.
He grabbed a book before flipping it open. “I'm finishing up my PhD in marine sciences,” Fionn smiled. “I received a full ride and am about to finish up by the end of 2025. Or at least, I hope to! If I do, I should have something lined up to study under a marine lab in the tropics over the summer. What about you?”
Fionn was happy that the last year of his PhD was nearing. Not that he didn’t mind being in school, but he was ready to enter the workforce and travel. He had run into a few cousins of his, which was nice. But also kind of scary. There wasn’t anything wrong with it, but there seemed to be a big Breckak reunion. Plus, with his mothers moving to Hickstead – it made the small town feel even smaller.
Thankfully, studies were an easy distraction. He had an extra part of his dissertation to be working on and Fionn found himself at the library. Like usual, he had overdone it on the book selection. But, as usual – his lanky arms were able to carry things. As Fionn was balancing the books and making his way to a table – he heard his name be called. Well, he probably whispered when he was taking a break at a shelf to rest.
Fionn, looked towards the voice and saw someone at another table. He had a familiar face. Then it clicked. “It seems I’m meeting all of the Breckah family in a weird…Scott Pilgrim kind of way…Sorry..which one are you?” he inquired managing to carry the books to a close table. Might as well put them down if he was going to be interviewed.

the personality
likes • swimming, scuba diving, playing violin, sailing, poking at tide pools dislikes • seafood and animal products (vegan), being too inland and land locked, being wasteful strengths • free diving, a good listener, studious, has a green thumb weaknesses • second guessing, initiating relationships dreams • scuba the great barrier reef, dive with a whale shark fears • letting his family down, being a failure in his studies overall personality • Fionn finds life to be an adventure, despite the shoots and ladders. He’s a very studious person, taking his studies seriously – sometimes to the point that Michael must tell him to take a break.
He tends to be a lot more welcoming and open to certain things, as he grew up in a non-nuclear setting. Fionn is a bit shy around new people, and if there is someone that he likes to befriend, he has a hard time asking for social or the best way to communicate. He’ll remember a name and face but getting to that next step can be difficult.
Around those that he likes and gets along with, Fionn is a chatterbox – laughing and enjoying the time. He’ll happily get a drink and a meal or just lounge.
the history
mother • Elaene, 40, Meteorologist mother • Patricia, 41, heiress, news caster. siblings • Jamieson, 18 (step-brother), Lacey, 18 (step-sister), Michael, 24 (step-brother) important people • Porter Matthews, 24 (fellow classmate and crush) hometown • Dublin, Ireland overall history • Fionn was born to Elaene and her boyfriend in her teenage years. The dad never stuck around, realizing his party lifestyle outweighed the desire to be a father. Elaene’s pregnancy caused a rift in the family, often seen as a disappointment in the eyes of her father. It didn’t take long for her to move out and birth and raise Fionn on her own.
Growing up, Fionn knew of his mother’s family, and he had access to his grandma and his slew of uncles, aunts, and cousins. All the interactions were supervised of course. His grandfather never showed him any love, making it known that he was the black sheep – making Fionn have a strong resentment towards the old man.
After years of stepping on eggshells, Elaene gave her siblings and parents an ultimatum, and they took the option to stop communication completely - though grandma would keep secret contact. Elaene left Dublin and moved to Youghal, sparking Fionn’s love for the quaint seaside and studying the ocean.
When Fionn was ten years old, Elaene met Patricia. The two hit it off, even though Ireland didn’t consider their relationship legitimate until 2015. Patricia had three children from a previous marriage, and the family blended extremely well. Fionn looked up to his older brother and had fun with the younger siblings. At this point, the family was blended so well – it was hard to know if they weren’t related or not.
The rest of Fionn’s life, he was a happy child. He became a dedicated worker and took his studies seriously. Following the feet of Michael, Fionn attended NUI Galway. He finished his undergraduate and graduate degrees and is now working on his PhD.
Once again following Michael, Fionn found himself in Hickstead. Both were offered full rides to continue their education in their respective fields. During the last year, Fionn found himself exploring a lot more about himself – mainly his sexuality. While he had girlfriends, he was finding himself getting attracted to men – especially his classmate, Porter.
Currently, Fionn is in the middle of his PhD studies. He shares a flat with Michael, and the two are just navigating life. Fionn caught wind that one of his uncles was in town, but is on the fence about meeting them face to face again.
