He is hardly imposing at only 5’9” and there is a definite greenness to him that most people are quick to pick up on. And while he has an athletic build, it is not nearly as well pronounced or muscular as other members of SOLDIER. But despite these obvious shortcomings, Rowen still carries himself with a sense purpose and there is an unmistakable confidence in his eyes. Not even the drab blues of the Third Class uniform can cover the aura of nobility that years of his father’s tutelage have engrained in him. Before joining SOLDIER, Rowen had kept his brown hair slicked back and formal, but now it is left unruly and snow white, the latter of which is due to him inheriting Ramuh’s genome. While it was a bit unnerving at first, barely a thought is wasted on it since he sees it as a purely superficial change. [h2][color=goldenrod][u]Personality[/u]:[/color][/h2] Easygoing and genuine, Rowen is not at all what most would expect from the son of Roland Tuesti. Where his old man had made a reputation for himself by being cold and calculating, Rowen has strived, with varying degrees of success, to be more open with others and to be a kinder force than his father ever was. Yet if you look closely, you will still find traces of his strict upbringing in his near unshakable confidence and how he absolutely hates losing. There is an intelligence to Rowen that has been cultivated by years of studying. And while he does not care all that much for being overly formal and adhering to needless etiquette, he is quite disciplined and loathes leaving a task half finished, since in his mind it will just make more work for himself later. And while he is not nearly high strung enough to be considered a perfectionist, Rowen definitely has an appreciation for keeping things ordered and prefers to discuss plans thoroughly rather than simply charging headfirst at the problem. There’s a naiveté to Rowen that is telling of his upbringing that left him wanting for little. This can range from the mundane, such as not understanding common slang, to the shocking, like not knowing how to do his laundry. One can say that Rowen is immature in the truest sense of the word, as he has a strong dislike of the actions of Shinra, but no real idea about what he can do to change it. And while he is sorely lacking in experience, he is eager to fix that and learn. But, perhaps most importantly, he is still growing and changing. [h2][color=goldenrod][u]Background[/u]:[/color][/h2] Born into the Tuesti family, whose name reached prominence due mostly to the work of Reeve Tuesti, Rowen was born to a life that left him wanting for little. But while his uncle Reeve is known to have true compassion for the citizens of Midgar, Roland, Rowen’s father, is ambitious and calculating. And it was these two traits that the man hoped to pass on to his eldest son, so that one day Rowen could follow in his footsteps. By no means did Rowen have a traumatic childhood, but it was one filled with rigid expectations and intolerance for failure. From an early age, Rowen was tutored in the ways of manipulation and foresight, all so that he could be groomed to become just as fearsome of a business man as his father when his time came. And that very well may have happened, had it not been for his uncle who mentored the lad under the guise of giving him work experience. He had only been 15 at the time, but already he was starting to have the same cold and calculating demeanor of his old man. Yet, as he worked with his uncle and saw the unjust treatment Shinra was prone to subject its citizens to, Rowen began to quietly reject his father’s teachings. It wasn’t until he turned 18 that this little rebellion of his truly took shape though. Being a pragmatist, Rowen couldn’t see himself taking after his uncle Reeve and quietly doing what he could to help the people from the inside, all the while biting his tongue as others got hurt and exploited. So instead, he set his sights on joining SOLDIER, where he believed he could directly help and protect others, just like the hero of the Wutai War, Sephiroth. Despite his clear lack of actual combat experience, Rowen’s long hours of studying fencing, which had been put on him by his father to “hone his mind,” seemed to have been enough to satisfy his examiners of his potential. Being placed in third class was no real surprise to him, but ending up under the command of one Lapin Delacroix certainly was. The two had known each other since childhood, but could hardly be called friends because both of their personalities where almost inherently at odds with each other. Nevertheless, Rowen has fully committed himself to SOLDIER. What began as a simple desire to free himself of the future that his father had laid out for him has grown into a true sense of wanting to help people and to find out his true worth.

The blade is thicker and made of sturdy mythril, but thanks to his increased strength he can still wield it properly. Its three materia slots are housed within its grip. [h2][color=goldenrod][u]Materia[/u]:[/color][/h2] [list][*]Lighting Bolt Bolt 2 Bolt 3 [*]Enchant Enthunder [/list] [h2][color=goldenrod][u]Limit Break[/u]:[/color][/h2] [b][color=slategray]Mindspark:[/color][/b] When pushed to his breaking point, static begins to crackle around Rowen haphazardly. After a brief charge up period, a sphere of lightning forms within his free hand. He then launches the sphere at his enemies, which then explodes in chaotic arcs, dealing moderate lightning damage and leaving those hit briefly paralyzed. [/hider]
