#I thought he'd have more colorful underwear tbh

𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐌 / 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒.

Did they believe in Santa?: as a child, no. as an adult, also no. roderick and his older brother were probably told where any gifts they got were from. their father was the type of man that would... kinda get pressed if either of them went "oh look at what saint nikolaus got me" or stuff like that. instead of being a reasonable parent that, i don't know, lets his kids think santa exists, he ruined that for them for... what?

Were they a dinosaur or rock kid?: i don't think roderick was either. he was more a toy car kid that put his toy car on every surface... and i mean every surface. he'd stop if he was told to but he'd just find somewhere else to nyoom his car across.

Bugs or slimy critters?: roderick doesn't mind either one actually. he... didn't really have much of an interest in bugs aside from squishing the occasional insect or two.

Do they fidget? How?: nope. Roderick is not a man who fidgets much, if at all. i don't think he fidgeted much as a kid either. he did play around a lot though, but that's less fidgeting and more him... being a child that didn't want to sit still

What were they frequently in trouble for as a child?: not frequently but enough to where he usually got it when he did get in trouble. roderick wasn't exactly a troublemaker... but he and his childhood friend, florentin, were like... evan and mikah but less destructive. it was just a negative feedback loop of "i bet i can do [insert stupid thing] better than you can." and the stupid thing in question probably warranted a rant from a neighbor that didn't really appreciate their antics. or hated rambunctious kids.

What underwear do they like?: Roderick does not care. underwear is underwear. so long as it's comfortable, he's good. ( but like, if you ask me, he probably wears boxers at home and boxer-briefs or briefs if he's going out. )

Designs on clothing or no?: mmmm... again, i think this is another case of "he doesn't care". he wears what he likes and what fits him and there isn't much that he prefers outside of that. he probably has clothing with designs on them here and there but that's probably concentrated in whatever t-shirts or hoodies he happens to own. he strikes me more a plain color type of person, especially when he's wearing something that exposes his arms. doesn't want the designs on his skin and the designs on his arms to clash

Birthmarks?: none.

Do they have good self control?: yes! he has his moments were it falters and he does act before thinking but in general, roderick has to keep a solid, stable head on his shoulders. even if he's angry, he's gotta exert some amount of self control before he does something or incites his men into acting on his behalf.

so like... if he does something extreme--like does it himself--he's thoroughly thought through the repurcussions of that actions and still chose violence because he knew the party in question truly deserved it.

Favorite franchise?: probably indiana jones if i'm being perfectly honest. it was probably one of those movies that he saw when he was really young and was like "wow that's so cool" and, once upon a time, he fantasized about being an adventurer and like... going to all these places, discovering ancient treasure, fighting bad guys, and all that.

Do they re-enact scenarios in the shower?: not anything beyond dwelling on things he could've said in a situation or done. i think everyone thinks about a bunch of stuff in the shower tbh and roderick is no exception.

Do they tell the waiter that their order is wrong?: yes. he's not a dick about it and just goes "excuse me, i don't think this is my order" or something like that. he's the last person that's going to be disrespectful to service workers--especially over something that was probably a mistake.

Stairs or elevator?: whichever is more convenient.

Are they an exaggerator when telling stories?: maybe when he's with specific people. if he's shooting the shit with people he's known for over a decade and coming up on a story they all know / were apart of, he'll playfully exaggerate it to get more of a reaction from the people that know what went down. maybe he'll exaggerate a bit to scare someone that's in over his head but with roderick, there's not much you could exaggerate about him that is scarier than the truth.
