Old-ish character of mine from another roleplaying site called Wasted Skies. Wasted Skies is a lot different from this site, so please let me know if Roi isn't suited to a place like this. ^^;;
[> click for picture <] Although, Roi's bangs usually cover both his eyes, just not in this picture.
name: Roi Baltimore
gender: male
age: 23 (birthday- October 14 1986)
eye color: bright bubblegum pink
height: 6'4"
appearance: Light skin, he's not especially pale since he goes outside fairly often but he never really gets tan.
Pretty much just a skinny white boy. His body is built slim and tall. He has no real strength, so weak it's almost pathetic. Everyday activites like lifting groceries is about the extent of his upper body exercise. He was the kid that got picked on in the sandbox during elementary school. However, his legs aren't quite as pitiful. He's actually a fairly strong runner, although it's nothing amazing. He's got enough power in his legs to jog a mile or two or get away from danger but he'd still be face-down on the pavement halfway through a marathon run.
Hair is kept short, it is naturally straight and rather flat, usually covering his ears. Every once in a while, however, he may get a flyaway piece of hair or a random curl. Roi's hair is technically a really, really dark brown, but it appears black unless in bright light, where it looks obviously brown. He calls his hair black and unless you look really carefully, you'd say it was black too. A strip of hair just before his ear on his right side is dyed a deep purple. The ends of his bangs to the left of that strip are also dyed the same purple. The rest of his hair is black. Covering his eyes and just slightly below are his thick bangs. He wears his bangs in such a fashion so no one can see his oddly-colored eyes, which color he is self-concious of. Although the hair acts as a convenient sheild to stop people from seeing his pink eyes, the bangs also obscure his vision somewhat, making it difficult to read or see people far away.
Roi has two silver stud earrings on his left ear, one at the top of his ear and the other just below it. They usually aren't seen because of his hair but he's not really trying to hide them.
Most people would classify Roi's sense of style as "emo", although his taste isn't perfectly fitting to the definition. His shirts are usually a boring neutral color like black or gray or brown, often with some kind of simple design on them. Roi almost always wears skinny jeans. Most of the time he wears a black or typical blue-jean pair but he occassionally wears a purple pair. He also owns a rainbow pair which were a birthday gift a long time back, given to him as a joke. But all they do is sit in his closet and collect dust. Why he hasn't just gotten rid of them already is a mystery. Roi has a small collection of belts. He usually wears a white or black belt to keep his pants up. Sometimes he'll wear a second as an accessory. To prevent his socks getting wet from puddles, Roi always wears waterproof boots. He has a black pair of hiking boots which only come up to his ankles and a pair of steel-toed boots, which are actually boot-height. Accessories are often worn. He usually wears some kind of fingerless glove. He has a pair of black leather gloves but also has armwarmers. The left armwarmer is red and black striped, the right is blue and black striped. Sometimes Roi will wear a second belt drooping down on one side. The second belt, if he chooses to wear one, is either checkered, studded, or has some kind of pattern he likes. He may also wear a small chain in his pocket, which connects to his wallet.
Finally, the most important accessory of his is his wristband, which he'll wear on either arm and only takes off when he showers. From first glance, it looks like an ordinary black-and-white checkered soft wristband, but looking close, it has the name "ABEL" stitched into it. The wristband is homemade, made by Roi's mother and given to him many years ago.
personality: Ignoring the effects of his history, Roi has always been rather quiet, somewhat reserved. He prefers to stay somewhat quiet but isn't afraid to stand out just a little. He is easily embarassed though and fairly self-concious so it's easy to make him nervous in a public setting. He usually won't talk to random people unless they start a conversation with him or there is some kind of drive to talk to them, such as if Roi feels like helping them. Deep down, Roi's a pretty good person, although he doesn't feel like helping all that much.
What has happened in Roi's history has deeply affected his personality. Besides being naturally quiet, Roi mainly avoids people to prevent growing bonds with anyone. After his mother's death, he tries not to make too close of friends in the event that he may end up losing them.
How Roi treats others is all up to how they act toward him. Upon first metting someone, Roi seems pretty neutral. He acts nice enough but anyone can tell that there is some kind of hurt going on inside him. He refuses to share what happened to him with anyone but close friends, though.
To good people, Roi can make a great friend. He becomes protective over people he likes, making sure they don't experience the same fate as his mother. Roi tries to be positive around these people, but there's always a looming cloud of sorrow around him. On the other end, if Roi turns out to really dislike someone, he'll grow tense and angry. He's unwilling to give them a second chance and with usually shoot down anything they say in an attempt to be nice. To these people, Roi is thought of as a complete and total jerk.
But in average, Roi's history has done lots of damage to his personality. He seems constantly depressed, even when he claims to be happy. There's just something about Roi that brings down the spirits of everyone around him, especially when he openly shows his depressed side, which isn't pretty. In that state, he rarely talks, his mind thinking over his mother and her death. Despite the inner turmoil, he doesn't share any of his pain with others. Recounting his mother's memory pains him, usually bringing him to tears and he refuses to show this weakness to others, even friends.
history: Roi loved his mother. Since birth, he'd always cling to her. He was a sweet little kid, always looking for ways to help her out. His family wasn't very rich at all, in fact, keeping enough money to provide for themselves could be a struggle. Roi was always distant from his father. His father didn't pay much mind to his son and was often gone from home for irregular, rather long periods of time. Roi was still very young when his father left for good and his parent's marriage broke. Roi's mother tried her best to make what little money she could to provide for herself and her son. As Roi grew, he learned how to do chores usually associated with women, such as cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and even sewing. (although he never really was very good at sewing, just enough to get the job done)
Roi's mother often talked about how exciting it would be to be a pokemon trainer, to freely explore the world and capture many kinds of pokemon. However, she never had the time to live out this dream due to the fact that she was busy caring for her young son.
Roi stayed with his mother for a long time, helping her make money. Roi hardly realized that the small family of two was slowly becoming more and more poor. His mother began filtering all of the cash to Roi to keep him alive. She began to grow sick and she made Roi a wristband, black and white checkered, so that he would always remember her. Roi always kept it with him, up until this day. Roi tried his best to keep his mother alive in her last days but there wasn't much he could do. Before he knew it, she was suddenly gone. Roi had no idea where to go or who to turn to. He was only 16 when his mother passed away and was left lost and confused. Despression followed and Roi occassionally tried drinking in order to ease some of his pain. Roi finished school, hoping that it would make his mother proud. Soon after, he left the home he had grown up in, leaving part of the memories behind.
Over time, his depression loosened, if only a little. His mother's death still has a strong impact on him today, and his depression is something he likely won't ever get over.
Since his mother had never had a chance to try becoming a pokemon trainer, Roi decided that he would play out her dream for her. He set off on his own adventure in hopes that it would please his mother who he missed greatly.
quirks: Afraid of wet clothing. Roi has an irrational fear of wet clothing touching his skin. If his clothes get wet, he is likely to freak out and take them off. This is why he is sure to always have spare clothes in his pack.
Extremely heavy sleeper. Roi can sleep through nearly anything and moves around a lot in his sleep. This causes him to fall out of beds quite often.
