[h1][center][color=Crimson][b]◇Physical Description◇[/b][/color][/center][/h1] 
	Romt is a tall, frightening figure. Standing more than a few inches over six feet tall, nearing seven feet even. Romt is built heavily in the physical department as can be seen by the bulky, muscular build his body has. His arms are especially strong in appearance, with rough hands that have spend a fair amount of years digging through stone, and colliding with the earth as he walked. He has somewhat small back paws compared to his hands, but they seem to carry him well enough.

He has red fur from his floppy ears all the way down, with black nails at the end of his hands; As well as yellow eyes which observe everything he finds interest in. His attire consists of a brown ten gallon sheriff's hat, a gray collar decorated with pieces of obsidian, and the seemingly traditional Diamond Dog vest; Colored black. 

Romt has scars across his body; Cuts and bruises from combat, his most permanent injuries being his stubbed tail, and left eye: Which seems to only stay about halfway open nowadays, and never opens any further.

[h1][center][color=Crimson][b]◇Biography◇[/b][/color][/center][/h1] 
	Romt was always a step above his pack, both in talent and intelligence; Actually, he was quite a few steps above them in intelligence, but he didn't often tell them that. While most of his species preferred to look for shiny diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, Romt had a preference for obsidian. It sounded a bit boring, but there was a certain attractiveness to it that just won him over; And it made him look strange in front of his family as they judged his actions every step of the way.

The entirety of a Diamond Dog's life is usually the same. Dig in dirt and rock, find your preferred stone, hoard it. Eat, sleep, bathroom, repeat. It's a dull life, but one that most of the low-intelligence dogs wouldn't notice. But Romt noticed it; Oh, yes he did. It was grueling; So boring that he could bite his own fur off in frustration. He wanted more than just digging; He wanted to see what else was out there. And that's what his youth was; Exploring the unknown, and becoming a much more functional member of society than almost any Diamond Dog that came before him.

He was civil; Thoughtful, with some tact. He was generally quiet, and it made him a great listener; He was able to get along with ponies after the ice broke between him being a giant, terrifying beast and them being, well, tiny colorful ponies. He traveled; Finding places to learn about the world, new places to dig in search of interesting new stones, and much more. Over time he became quite a wise individual for a Diamond Dog; Something that even some scholars were impressed by. 

When the connection with Earth began, Romt kept his ears to the ground to get any information he could. Some of the scholars he knew stayed up in Canterlot; So he occasionally grabbed a bit of news. Though, nothing truly critical had hit his ears up until [color=ed1c24]THE RENDING[/color] had happened. Horrified by the thought of the transpired events, he managed to tag along with his scholar companions whom joined into the aiding effort; Ponies being kind of wary of having a huge beast at their sides, but also finding themselves comforted because that huge beast was fighting for them.

Romt was a wonderful addition to Equestria's forces: Nopony probably ever thought of how powerful Diamond Dogs were, but they witnessed it as Romt whacked and smashed his way through The Rended to secure positions and protect others. He was somewhat terrifying for the children to witness, but cool, as well.

Romt devoted ten years to aiding Earth, and at one point found himself residing in Bellbrooke without his old comrades; Some having died, others having ran away out of fear. He doesn't have a home, or at least, not a traditional one. He has his own dugout living space, which secondarily operates as a shelter in case of something going terribly wrong topside.

At times he's not home, though. Romt spends time roaming the outskirts of Bellbrooke; Digging in search of minerals of Earth for him to study, while also scavenging for technology to return to Bellbrooke for mass-research. He keeps a close eye in case of a Rended attack, and tends to just linger on occasion to talk with the others, or to see how the children are progressing. 

He has a long life ahead of him, and as long as there are children to protect from the horrid dangers on Earth, he'll remain, loyally, until his final breath.

[h1][center][color=crimson][b]◇Skills and Talents◇[/b][/color][/center][/h1]
	[b][i][u]Gem Knowledge:[/u][/i][/b] Romt has a vast knowledge of gemstones, as most Diamond Dogs do. He has a firm belief that there are meanings behind many of them. He could go on for hours about it. 

	[b][i][u]Equestrian Knowledge:[/u][/i][/b] Romt spent a long time studying Equestria before the last ten years happened; He's extremely fond of Equestria's history, and is quick to correct others when they state things incorrectly.

	[b][i][u]Digging:[/u][/i][/b] Romt has the ability to easily burrow through dirt and stone with his strength, allowing him to excavate areas underground and also dig out living or storage spaces if need be. He can also use it in combat to surprise opponents; Or yank them underground and trap them.

	[b][i][u]Savage Fighting:[/u][/i][/b] Romt is an absolute monster when it comes to fighting: He can easily pick up ponies and Rended, tossing them about or smashing them into the ground. He's also of capable of using heavy, blunt objects as weapons. He's fairly quick, too. So you better hope you can run fast if you're looking to get away from him once you start a fight. 

	[b][i][u]Village Puppy:[/u][/i][/b] The younger children have always refer to him as a giant puppy. He has embraced this and occasionally just plops down, allowing the children to pet him. Truth be told, it's relaxing donwtime, and a bit heartwarming. He especially likes it when they scratch behind his ears.

[h1][center][b]◇Relics, Spells, and Techniques◇[/b][/center][/h1]
	Romt usually doesn't solve problems that don't involve punching things. That probably explains enough about this. He is smart enough to see the benefits in something if he finds it, though.

[h1][center][b]◇Gear◇[/b][/center][/h1]
	[b][i][u]Satchel:[/u][/i][/b] Romt's trusty satchel. He keeps mostly everything in it.

	[b][i][u]Notepads & Pens:[/u][/i][/b] Romt occasionally writes things down that he finds nifty, or important. He has a hard time holding pens, but whatever, it works. Except when he accidentally snaps them in half. 

	[b][i][u]Medical Supplies:[/u][/i][/b] Romt has a small collection of medical supplies in his satchel, just in case. Only basic things, though: Like Bandaging, disinfectant, and things for wound-cleaning. 

	[b][i][u]Water Flask:[/u][/i][/b] Diamond Dogs get thirsty, too. ... What, didn't know that?

	[b][i][u]Sledgehammer:[/u][/i][/b] When a stick just doesn't cut it, use a hammer instead. Romt's strength makes wielding it a breeze, and therefor makes him extremely dangerous with it. He could probably just dig through whatever he'd smash open with it, but it sure hurts when it connects with the Rended. Celestia help you if you're a pony or human getting whacked with this thing...

For now, I shall nap.
