Description:

Very tall, athletic, tanned, red haired, blue eyed, with a great Irish lilt, Barney is the subject of female infatuation in every pub in Ireland ... and a few outside. His costume, the green and white with shamrock is the subject of occasional teasing from the twins but he has vowed never to change it. After all, he IS Irish.

Barney is a leprechaun ... don't laugh ... really ... well, at least HALF leprechaun. We won't get into how one of the wee folk might end up fathering a child with a normal human girl but assume it had something 'magical' about it. Thing is, Barney has no idea and his Sainted Mother isn't about to tell him. Seems, though, that what he got out of the whole thing worked out pretty well for him. Not only does he have phenomenal luck but he's inheritated his father's physique ... if his da were 6' 6" tall. All of his life he's had everything go his way and on more than one occasion that luck has rubbed off on some of the people with him ... like the time the ferry sank on the way across the Irish Sea only to run aground on an uncharted sand bank. One hundred and sixty-three people miraculously saved by a mistake on a chart.
At sixteen, he joined up with the IRA and quickly became something of a legend as a 'tipper' of tanks and armored cars but when the IRA bombing started targetting innocents, Barney told them he was quitting. To that point everyone assumed 'quitting' the IRA was like 'quitting' the Mafia, you quit when you were dead. Well ... Barney was very hard to kill, or even wound. For three years they tried until Barney got tired of it and told the IRA if they didn't stop, he'd turn his considerable strength on them. That was enough, but just to have the last word, the IRA started a campaign of violence and framed 'Shamrock' making him a wanted terrorist throughout the United Kingdom.
As a member of S.A.A.T. Barney is the heavy lift for moving those things to inconvenient for a forklift, like that four ton experimental self-contained nuclear power system. He is also the team's heavy hitter in combat. There he uses his great strength to toss people and vans out of the way. For people, his favorite tactic is to toss them on to the top of buildings to minimize falling damage. For vans, its just down the road a bit and he has to hope whoever is inside it buckled up. Here his luck works for his opponents as for some reason most of the things he tosses end up on something that absorbs the impact or the passengers are somehow protected by the vehicle's structure, His other job is the one he loves, the team's mechanic. Barney loves a good car to fix, or truck, or tank, whatever comes to hand. He also acts as backup getaway driver if a problem comes up.

Shamrock is a boxer, a hugely powerful boxer ... and he likes to toss things. Not 'throw', that indicates a desire to slam whatever or whoever is thrown into something. Tossing is just sort of lofting things onto the nearest tall structure so that the downward trajectory is of the shortest, and therefore least damaging, fall

Shamrock is probably my favorite 'bad guy'. Mainly because he really isn't. Sure, he's gotten into a couple scrapes with the British Army. What good Irish lad doesn't but his Sainted mother instilled a heart in the boy early on. Yes, he's worked with the IRA, but only in a situation where his strength was an asset, like tank tipping. He has never killed and would never stand for any action that might result in the injury or death of women and chilren. The IRA learned quickly to never let Shamrock in on any operation that included bombs or indiscriminate spray fire. Now with the Peace, Shamrock has more time to do what he really loves, work on cars ... okay, and maybe a good pub crawl though he does tend to get into a fight now and then. Fully aware of his incredible strength, he pulls every punch he throws in these brawls even if he is just a pint short of passing out.
Being a giant of a man with moviestar good looks, he has no trouble finding female companionship but never seems to get the one he wants, Rainbow Archer. He tries but she is just not interested. The Witches both flirt outrageously with him and he with them, but he'll take his fun outside the team in the hopes that Rainbow Archer just might change her mind. Thunderbolt does tend to take advantage of him, sometimes treating him as a gopher, but as long as there's a pint or thirty, things are good.

Shamrock is the team's muscle.

Shamrock has always been one of my favorite bricks but I have never played him as an evil villain. Looking at the original design, by Glenn Thain, you probably don't see much beyond the name and the fact that he is a brick.
