This character is completely based off of Oscar Wilde’s novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’. This is just a reimagine of the main character, Dorian Gray; someone that I’ll try writing as best as I can.

Roman is multiship. Meaning that, all ships are in different verses and they do not collide with each other. Please, don’t force any romantic feelings on Roman. If there is chemistry, then that’s great! If not, then it’s perfectly fine as well! Him being multiship doesn’t mean he will be in a romantic relationship with anyone.

Admin was born in 2000. Will provide proof of age if needed.

Admin is literate to advanced literate; meaning that my replies are mostly long and descriptive. Though, if your replies are shorter, I can adapt to your length!

DMs are my preferred platform to roleplay on Twitter. Though, I will never say no to small TL interactions!

Do remember that english is not admin’s first language. It would be great if my writing partner corrects me in case they see any mistakes; though, please do it kindly.

Please know that everything on this account was edited by me, except for the video. Everything else was made by the admin. Please, if you want to use any of my edits for your character, make sure to credit me properly or leave my watermark on the picture.

This account is NSFW — since both Admin and Muse are of legal age — and will contain triggering themes such as blood, gore and mentions of mental illnesses; since “The Picture of Dorian Gray” as a novel contains them. If you are not comfortable with any of that, either soft / hard block the account. You have been warned.

The admin has nothing to do with the character. Everything posted on this profile is from Atlas’s perspective; how I imagine him to be and how I have built him. Unless stated with “ /, \, (, ), | ”, it’s always Roman speaking. Muse does not equal Mun.

I try to be as friendly as I can! Never hesitate to shoot me a message if you want to plot something with Roman!

𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐘.

At the opening of the novel, Dorian Gray exists as something of an ideal: he is the archetype of male youth and beauty. As such, he captures the imagination of Basil Hallward, a painter, and Lord Henry Wotton, a nobleman who imagines fashioning the impressionable Dorian into an unremitting pleasure-seeker. Dorian is exceptionally vain and becomes convinced, in the course of a brief conversation with Lord Henry, that his most salient characteristics—his youth and physical attractiveness—are ever waning. The thought of waking one day without these attributes sends Dorian into a tailspin: he curses his fate and pledges his soul if only he could live without bearing the physical burdens of aging and sinning. He longs to be as youthful and lovely as the masterpiece that Basil has painted of him, and he wishes that the portrait could age in his stead. His vulnerability and insecurity in these moments make him excellent clay for Lord Henry’s willing hands.

Dorian soon leaves Basil’s studio for Lord Henry’s parlor, where he adopts the tenets of “the new Hedonism” and resolves to live his life as a pleasure-seeker with no regard for conventional morality. His relationship with Sibyl Vane tests his commitment to this philosophy: his love of the young actress nearly leads him to dispense with Lord Henry’s teachings, but his love proves to be as shallow as he is. When he breaks Sibyl’s heart and drives her to suicide, Dorian notices the first change in his portrait—evidence that his portrait is showing the effects of age and experience while his body remains ever youthful. Dorian experiences a moment of crisis, as he weighs his guilt about his treatment of Sibyl against the freedom from worry that Lord Henry’s philosophy has promised. When Dorian decides to view Sibyl’s death as the achievement of an artistic ideal rather than a needless tragedy for which he is responsible, he starts down the steep and slippery slope of his own demise.

As Dorian’s sins grow worse over the years, his likeness in Basil’s portrait grows more hideous. Dorian seems to lack a conscience, but the desire to repent that he eventually feels illustrates that he is indeed human. Despite the beautiful things with which he surrounds himself, he is unable to distract himself from the dissipation of his soul. His murder of Basil marks the beginning of his end: although in the past he has been able to sweep infamies from his mind, he cannot shake the thought that he has killed his friend. Dorian’s guilt tortures him relentlessly until he is forced to do away with his portrait. In the end, Dorian seems punished by his ability to be influenced: if the new social order celebrates individualism, as Lord Henry claims, Dorian falters because he fails to establish and live by his own moral code.
