His hands are rough and covered in calluses with many small and large scars across his hands and arms. Roman can be imposing, intimidating, and looks like he would have no trouble holding his own in a fight.[/color] [b]Clothing Preferences:[/b] [color=f26522]Whenever he finds himself in the south which for him is everywhere south of the mountains, he wears loose but fitting clothes of blues, greens, and purples when dressing for occasions. Otherwise, he wears a plain but sturdy tan coat with nice light clothes underneath. No matter the occasion however, Roman will always be wearing some form of armor in some fashion that he either made or one of his family has made to show off the family name. the only constant between his choices of clothing is a medallion he wears around his neck with his family crest a forge and hammer with a crystal molded into its center. this crystal looks clear like glass but gives off a faint aqua glow that is almost unnoticeable.[/color] [hr] [h2][u][b]Psychology[/b][/u][/h2] [b]Likes:[/b] - [color=f26522]Fire - Making things with his hands - admiring craftsmanship of any kind - weapon training - good stories and food - gazing at the heavens on a clear night - seeing people’s reactions to his gifts[/color] [b]Dislikes:[/b] -[color=f26522] people trying to be his friend for free services - thieves - humid days - people that don't know when to stop talking [/color] [b]Sexuality:[/b] [color=f26522]+Hetero[/color] [b]Hobbies:[/b] [color=f26522]> Anything to do with a forge or chisel > Mountain climbing > Cave delving > Cooking > Occasionally helping others > Dancing, singing, and drinking [/color] [b]Life Goals/Dreams:[/b] [color=f26522]Settle down with a good woman and have lots of little ones to carry on the family business and the Ravenwood name. [/color] [b]Personality Summary:[/b] [color=f26522]Roman may be a large and intimidating man but don't let that fool you for the joyful person that lies beneath his stoic exterior. Where he is from in the north, good times are few and far in between so you celebrate when you can and work the rest of the time. Because of this he can be very boisterous when in the right mood and company, the best friend you didn't ask for, a guy that just wants everyone else to smile and have a good time. he can be a bit of a handful sometimes when he gets carried away but won’t let his pride get in the way of a quick apology or admit that he was in the wrong. This is not to say that he can’t get angry or lose his composure, he is only human. getting him to that point is hard unless you know how to get under his skin. he has a bit of a protective streak for those he cares about and can be quick to turn to anger and violence if they are in danger. Some people may also notice that some things go over his head. He can be a little aloof when talking about things he isn’t familiar with and can sometimes have issues noticing social ques especially related to the opposite sex. However, his not noticing things all the time can sometimes make him seem more confident in himself.[/color] [hr] [h2][u][b]Background[/b][/u][/h2] [b]Current occupation:[/b] [color=f26522]< First and foremost, he is a Varian noble of house Ravenwood. < Roman's main occupation after this is a weapon, armor, and jewelry Smith and has just recently reached the title of master. < Every Ravenwood is a trader and merchant at heart to spread the Ravenwood name further.[/color] [b]Any past occupations?[/b] [color=f26522]Tried a few things here and there nothing noteworthy. [/color] [b]Relatives:[/b] [color=f26522]Living in the far north is not the easiest and people can die easily, for that reason he has 9 brothers and 7 sisters, but he is the oldest. 4 of his siblings have passed away. > Father - Erick Ravenwood > Mother - Brynhilde Ravenwood + Sisters - Sasha - Sarah - Hela - Vigdis - Kjellfrid < Iduna - Died in a Industrial accident. < Reka - Died from sickness at a young age. + Brothers - Erickson - Brokk & Bruni twins - Fafner - Halvard - Ivan - Ruslan < Sven - Died after getting lost in a storm. < Egor - Died in a mountain climbing accident. [/color] [b]Skills:[/b] [color=f26522]+ Armor, weapon, and Jewelry smithing /repair /Appraisal + Above average strength and stamina + Attention to detail in his work and in people + Weapon Training, can’t make what you can’t wield [/color] [b]History Summary:[/b] [color=f26522]well, if you want specifics I'm always up for a beer and a story but to be short? Life in the far north is hard and so are its people, it’s easy for someone to drunkenly wander home and never to be seen again. taken by the old gods, because of that we celebrate every little thing in this world and have many siblings. my home is the same, the Ravenwood family has many cousins, nieces, and nephews along with brothers and sisters, but I am the oldest and one of the few without a family already. I passed our rights of passage into adult hood and focused on my trade rather than going out and finding someone to spend my life with right away like many of my siblings. we all work in some capacity at the family business, making intricate pieces of armor, weapons, and jewelry for the nobles across the continents and kingdoms. we are very well known, and we plan to keep it that way for many more generations. for that reason, we all must know what it is like to mine for your own minerals, polish and cut stones, and how to wield and wear armor. for us if you don't know how to wield a weapon or wear armor you can’t make it. Because I have not found a mate in life my father and mother insist on sending me off to the social gatherings intent on having me wed one of the beautiful ladies of the court. at least I get to take a vacation from my craft occasionally and meet some interesting people along the way.[/color] [b]Theme Song:[/b] [url=https://youtu.be/mPTCq3LiZSE?si=wGk8FQHeY6NNtMNg]Warframe | We All Lift Together[/url] [hr] [/hider] [hider=Questions] [h2][u][b]Questionnaire[/b][/u][/h2] [u][b]History[/b][/u] [color=f26522]"What? history? I just told you are you deaf?... oh, you mean more questions about my history. Apologies, please continue." [/color] [b]Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?[/b] [color=f26522]"I would say a healthy amount of both, nurtured helps one to get interested in things and knowing what you’re getting into. Neglect is going to happen with a large family and on top of that one part of the northern philosophy is that all men must suffer, makes us stronger and forces us to grow." [/color] [b]When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?[/b] [color=f26522]"At the anvil, on top of a mountain, the bottom of a cave. better than the bottom of a bottle." [/color] [b]What were you like in your teenage years?[/b] [color=f26522]"Hmm, I asked a lot of questions and wanted to play with all of the shiny sharp toys." [/color] [b]How close are you to your parents?[/b] [color=f26522]"Like I said before I have a big family, but I would say recently we have grown closer since they have been dressing me up to meet someone nice." [/color] [b]Do you have any trauma that haunts you?[/b] [color=f26522]"Yes, I uhh, well, did something stupid and others suffered because of it. no, I won’t elaborate."[/color] [b]What advice would you give your younger self?[/b] [color=f26522]"In hindsight I think the silver inlay would have looked better on the kings shield rather than the gold."[/color] [b]Were you an obedient child or defiant?[/b] [color=f26522]"Well, if I have to choose obedient, one always has to be careful around a working forge." [/color] [b]What is your biggest regret?[/b] [color=f26522]"Spending more time with my siblings would have been nice but I made my decision to practice and hone my skills instead." [/color] [u][b]Romance[/b][/u] [color=f26522]"That's rather personal don't you think?... kings’ orders? Fine." [/color] [b]Have you ever been in love? :[/b] [color=f26522]"Yes, her name is Sheila, and she is the best hammer I have ever worked with." [/color] [b]What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner.:[/b] [color=f26522]"Uhh at this point anyone that is willing to support me and what I do, and I would do the same... I do like wide hips... I hope she is willing to have a big family." [/color] [b]How do you display affection? What is your love language?[/b] [color=f26522]"Art and being physical, I'm not the best with words but I'm good with my hands and I would likely give them gifts." [/color] [b]Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?[/b] [color=f26522]"Yeah, it was fine I guess, celebrating a nephew’s rite of passage and was making merry with a few of the local ladies." [/color] [b]Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?[/b] [color=f26522]"Yes, have you seen some of the king’s heirloom weapons and armor? now some of those pieces are works of art for the gods themselves. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of those breastplates, pardon the blacksmith jargon." [/color] [b]What does marriage mean to you?[/b] [color=f26522]"a commitment to love one another and grow both of our families in both renown and size."[/color] [b]Are you currently crushing on anyone?[/b] [color=f26522]"I don't think I have crushed anyone lately, why has someone complained?" "Violet Damien is particularly enchanting isn't she."[/color] [b]Do you ever consider having children in the future?[/b] [color=f26522]"Have I been talking to a brick wall? you really should be paying more attention than just reading from a script and actually listen to the people you’re talking too." [/color] [u][b]Personality[/b][/u] [color=f26522]"Are you asking me about my personality or is it one of those category statements again?" [/color] [b]Describe your ideal Sunday morning:[/b] [color=f26522]"Wake up early to a hardy breakfast and stare out the window at the weather before deciding what to do for the day."[/color] [b]What kind of person do you aspire to be?[/b] [color=f26522]“An honorable, hardworking man, a good man. Like my father and his father before him.”[/color] [b]What bad habits do you have?[/b] [color=f26522]“Uhh well I tend to get a little too focused on the things im working on and can sometimes forget to take breaks… or eat… or sleep.”[/color] [b]If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?[/b] [color=f26522]“Stopping my friend from what got him killed, it was my fault really couldn’t quite get the words right.”[/color] [b]What is your greatest fear?[/b] [color=f26522]“Losing my senses, being injured to the point where I could not work… a jail cell or worse.”[/color] [b]What are your pet peeves?[/b] [color=f26522]“Carless craftsmanship, someone doubting my abilities, people putting others down for their own enjoyment, to name a few.”[/color] [b]When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?[/b] [color=f26522]“Depends on the mood but normally alone or with one or two people but not a whole crowd.”[/color] [b]Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?[/b] [color=f26522]“How would someone fight with their tongue? That sounds hard to do I don’t even know how you would exercise your tongue to get it that strong in the first place… ill stick with my fists and let Sheila do the talking.”[/color] [/hider]
