D e t a i l s
Appealing attributes ⧐ His burning hazel eyes as well as that rare smile of his. When it comes on, it's truly a sight.
Physical defences ⧐ He throws a pretty good punch and has always proven to be really good at fighting for some reason, but he could definitely use more training.
Phobias ⧐ He really, really, really hates flying. The ocean has never really been his thing either.
Presentation ⧐ Always clad in darker colours with a frown on his face and no smile in sight.
Voice ⧐ Dark and surprisingly charming, even if he sounds constantly unimpressed with everything and everyone.
Quirks ⧐ His slightly raised eyebrow and stare, even when he's just looking at you, making him look constantly angry with others. He also has a bad tendency to wander off.
Hobbies ⧐ Listening to music and books, drawing, even if it never amounts to anything but a sketch, going for walks and exploring, especially nature, working, even the occasional workout or run.
Languages ⧐ English. Though he has previously stumbled upon foreign alphabets and been able to read it, even sometimes easier than English, but he probably just has a knack for languages that he has never explored further.
Talents ⧐ He's pretty good at picking up and learning new skills, but he wouldn't say that he has any talents per se. He's pretty mediocre.
Scent ⧐ Earthy, foresty, comforting.

"Name one hero who was happy."
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
Fatal Flaws are mental or physical weaknesses that demigods, humans, and immortals possess. These flaws can often cause the downfall of the being, but are particularly dangerous to demigods. In Greek plays, they are often referred to as "Tragic Flaws".
Roman's fatal flaw is his inability to trust in others, his immense distrust in the words, actions, and personality of other people. It keeps others away from him and while he believes that it keeps him safe, it maintains his constant feeling of loneliness. It feeds his constant belief of the him deserving to be alone and that the abandonment he experienced was all his fault ― and that such abandonment will undoubtedly happen again, simply because of who he is as a person. In addition and closely linked to this, his constant ability to look down upon himself is yet another flaw that constantly keeps him down and prevents him from improving in any aspects of his life.
