If you want to be half-Omestrian then that would be great for me. Your character and Rodion would have known each other since before the Red Seminary and would most likely be nearly inseparable. Let me know about any ideas you might have.

Like:
Rodion -> the brain (Still strong, but an absolute genius)
your character -> the brawn (still smart, but is a whole lot better at hand-to-hand or physical feats than Rodion)
