A Brief Introduction to the Irish Lads

They’re essentially a group of Irish youtubers who played together on Paddy’s day as a joke once and accidentally meshed really well, so now they’re a quasi-youtube group.

Here’s a role call:

RTGame (also known as Dan or the Drift King in college) is one you’ll be familiar with if you followed me for mcyt cause he plays with Wilbur on occasion. An absolute agent of chaos who revels in destruction...until he made the mistake of collabing with Kevin, at which point it became apparent that the moment he’s playing with someone even more chaotic than he is he swings straight into mum friend mode. Considering the nature of the Lads, this is his default with them. The most competent of the Lads, and usually the one to win, though he seems to indulge in his chaotic side whenever he thinks he can get away with it.

Signature Quote: Oh no...

CallMeKevin is what you would get if you made a chaotic evil character with literally no stats except maxed out charisma. If you get this man into a game with a voice chat then he is gonna gaslight and girlboss his way to victory and no one will even be mad about because he’s just that weirdly likeable. Good natured to the point that he slightly raised his voice at Daithi once and Brian and Jack shat themselves in fear. Hobbies include breaking games, pissing off Daithi, joking about that one time he got hit by a car, and keeping prisoners in his basement.

Jacksepticeye is one you’ve almost definitely heard of, and he’s the definition of true neutral alignment. He’s the oldest of the Lads and the one with the biggest mainstream career, so it’s very obvious that he has the greatest maturity when it comes to managing the platform they have and calming things down when they go too far. He also used to be the one to fall into the mum friend role when Dan was away...but then he decided that was too much effort and instead chose to engage in mummy kink roleplay (no you’re not getting context). He’s also the first fucking one to go along with Kevin’s shenanigans and also will be the first to engage in what i like to call ‘weird shit humour’ (see: the mummy kink thing) so he’s as much as a problem child as the rest of them.

Daithi De Nogla’s another one who’s usually the chaotic troll in other groups he plays with, but the moment he’s subjected to Kevin he instead becomes the one who is trolled. Daithi is characterised by extreme anger (usually caused by Kevin or Brian), a thought process so all over the place that it’s difficult to follow, and an irish accent so thick it’s legitimately hard to understand him, especially when he’s yelling (read: most of the time). Highkey has dad friend vibes tho when he’s not playing up the toxic gamer persona, and if Dan isn’t the one pushing the Lads to actually progress then it will probably be Daithi. His usual group is the Vanoss crew, which Brian is also on, so expect to hear them arguing like a married couple

Signature Quote: *unholy Irish screeching, usually including “kEVIN” at least once*

Terroriser (aka Brian) is v busy and so can’t always make the streams, but when he does he’s usually fuelled by spite and spite alone. He is just a small angry man who is often the close runner up to Dan and it angers him. He is usually motivated by wanting to see Dan lose, Daithi suffer, Jack struggle, and Kevin just keep being the funky little dude he is. Characterised by sarcastic commentary, brutal roasts, actually trying in games, and being the first to call people out on their shit

Signature Quote: Nice going, Drift Bitch

Honorary members:

Kiwo is a British Twitch streamer who is friends with Dan and Kevin, and so has played with the Lads a few times. A dedicated role player who seems to be perpetually in an existential crisis, she often begins games fairly chill before being enveloped by an all-consuming need to w i n. Actually plays games seriously, which somehow doesn’t clash with Kevin doing the exact opposite when they play together (usually because Dan acts as a mediator)

Anna is the literal fucking Woman Chess Grandmaster, a three-time Hungarian women’s chess national champion, and a child prodigy who speaks several languages. She’s also Kevin’s girlfriend, which both makes no sense and total sense at the same time. She usually streams chess on Twitch, but increasingly will play other games with various Lads and other friends of hers. An absolute sweetheart who is simultaneously terrifyingly intelligent and the nicest/most trusting person in whatever game she plays

Minx is another one who dabbles in the mcyt sphere, so my followers may recognise her. She’s an Irish streamer who’s a friend of Dan and Anna, and so occasionally plays with the Lads. She’s been described as a female Daithi but i don’t think that’s doing her justice; she’s equally loud and equally unintelligible, but Minx uses language that would make Daithi blush. It’s been theorised that she’s incapable of saying a sentence without swearing and/or yelling, which the evidence supports. A great fit for the Lads when she joins them
