Because I longed for eternal life, I went to bed with harlots and drank for nights on end. In the morning, to be sure, my mouth was filled with the bitter taste of the mortal state. But, for hours on end, I had soared in bliss... Every night I would strut at the bar, in the red light and dust of that earthly paradise, lying fantastically and drinking at length... Day would come softly to throw light on this disaster and I would get up and stand motionless in a dawn of glory.

Roman is a self-serving and unsympathetic individual and is more often tolerated than liked. He is self aware and remains unbothered about the way that others see him, almost seeming offended by the notion he could be any other way. Even if he doesn't outwardly show it, he enjoys having company and is usually found in places where lots of people gather. His love for scandals keeps him in the know and he is a storyteller when it serves him.

Because his spending priorities are all over the place he is often caught up in schemes to make quick cash. Roman is shameless and and does what he has to in order to see his business through. He is at his most extreme when he believes that he has nothing to lose. The thrill of trying to survive fufils him. Has horrible luck but loves to take chances anyways.

He is very self-assured and intuitive, giving a brief impression of trustfulness. His loyalty is ultimately to himself, but it does serve him to build rapport and trust with people he has respect for even if it takes a bit of effort. When he finds himself in over his head he has no problem relying on others for assistance. He is curious and interested in learning new information, leading him to travel.

TRUTHS

Has roamed about the world extensively, but the way he tells his stories in an exaggerated manner makes them seem unbelievable. Some of the fantastical places he describes do exist and he has seen them firsthand, but his poor or overeccentric use of details in his storytelling makes it hard to believe him.

While out on the bend in his younger days, he went and got a number of regrettable tattoos. In the center of his back there is a large tattoo that he struggles to see clearly even when contorting his body in the mirror. He prefers to keep his tattoos covered up by his clothes.

Enjoys the smell of cologne and wears fine scents to attract women. unaware that his habit of smoking melds the smells together in an unpleasant way.

Horrible luck inevitably seems to follow him everywhere, but never so much as to deter him from taking a gamble in the first place.

On his right pinky he wears a small engraved silver ring. After selling it once to make ends meet, he later won it back in a card game. Despite the fortune of this event, ever since then he has believed the ring to be cursed because of the way it always manages to turn up in his life time after time.

UNKNOWNS

Claims to have grown up in the remote mountains on the eastern continent, but he is very vague and becomes suspicious when asked about his time there.

There is a large scar on the back of his head from a major wound. His hair is long enough to cover the mark completely.
