Roan, buddy, it's been a long time. We're good friends, right? You're practically an honorary Grey Mage, what with Errol and all. There's nobody we respect more than you. So in light of all that time together, all those good memories.. will you tell us how to "properly" loot now?

“...I s’pose it would be fair...” Roan agreed, and nodded after a moment of thought. He sat down across from the mage, trying to figure out how to word his techniques. “See, it’s not at all s’hard as people think. But ya put ta much thought inta it, an’ ya’ve already screwed ya’self over. All ya gotta --”

An elderly woman burst through the door, startling Roan and interrupting his train of thought.

“Debby’s kidding, but it’s breech,” she said, a frown deepening as she spoke. “I wouldn’t bother you none, but you know how she relaxes around you, and you’re always better at helping along the momma’s when they need it and we’re thinkin’ Debby’s got another one behind this’un...”

Roan glanced at the mage, offered them an apologetic shrug, and then started out the door, the elderly woman not far behind.

(Φ w Φ) [Roan]

A bare-chested man isn’t that uncommon in Skyrim, even in the cold, and Haaki almost walks straight past this one. It’s only when he recognises the face that he stops and stares.

And smiles, which is embarrassing. At least he manages not to run forward and hug Roan, although he comes close, before he says,

'I— I hope you're not doing that for my benefit. I keep telling you I'm not interested.'

30 Days of Character Development [Day 15]

Friend, Rivals, Betrayal, and Birds

Who is their closest friend, and why? What do they like to do with this person? Do they have any rivals? Who and why? Have they ever been betrayed? By who, and how did it affect them? Roan would probably be considered his closest friend - as the two grew up together and never bothered keeping secrets from the other. (Tindra is a close second, though).

Not 'rivals' but enemies. Various other bandits, including Haaki are all on his 'kill on sight' list.

He has not been betrayed before.

15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl? Night owl.

Roan cleared his throat and offered the rather human Imperial an apologetic smile. "Sorry 'bout this," he said and then leaned over the counter to place a gentle kiss on Clyde's lips. He moved away and shrugged. "Grey mages are... weird."

Clyde merely blinked at the Nord before a faint smile found its way to his face. “Nothing to worry about, and I agree,” he said with a short nod. “They can indeed be very weird,” Clyde added.

[whatoddities]

But Rooaan, I wanna play with Errol!

“Then go find ‘im,” the Imperial grumbled, feeling a headache beginning to start. “’E ain’t ‘idin’ ‘r nuthin’.”

As if on cue, a door in the small house slammed shut.

[whatoddities]

Roan. Roan. Roooooaaaaaan.

The Imperial groaned and rubbed at his face, waving with a free hand to try and push the mage away from him.

[whatoddities]

(Thoughst) Roan was so sweet. I bet he could have understood what I did, what I am doing. Or maybe not, maybe he wouldn't but he seemed the sort of guy who would at least listen to your reasons. I hope he's somewhere good. Somewhere warmer than Winterhold anyway.

[Prompt]

The vampire looked at the mage with wide eyes, more surprised that someone had actually thought of him than at the words they had said. He would have listened, aye, to whatever they were going through, but he couldn't. Not when he didn't know where they were.

"...Ianthe?"

[whatoddities]

The wolf has been rather roughly hewn from wood. Chips are missing where shaking hands let the knife slip and there isn’t much fine detail, but the for all that Haaki clearly spent a lot of time on the carving.

[whatoddities]

[Roan] Haaki takes one look at the former bandit and lets his head thump back onto the pillow. Not even the guilt can override this reaction. 'Not /again/.'

[Prompt]

Roan might have snored, if not for the simple fact that he mostly didn't breathe anymore. Instead, the vampire slumbered soundly, unaware of the grumpy priest next to him.

[whatoddities]

I heard a rumor that Roan is named in an elder scroll, that he will come face to face with a mediocre and insecure member of the Dawnguard and they will fight to the pain.

[Prompt]

Roan blinked in surprise, seemingly dumbstruck at the rumor. After a moment, he cleared his throat.

"I don't know wha' any'a tha' Dawnguard stuff is, 'n I sure ain't gonna be in any elder scroll -- so I think ya heard wron'."

[whatoddities]

Roan. A former bandit turned vampire who's only goal in life is to keep control of himself, and raise his grey mage son properly.

(Didja miss Roan? C:)

Roan/Ianthe

[Prompt]

"Ianthe's real nice. Real nice, an' real cute an' all - but last I heard she got married, aye? Be wrong'a me ta try an' come between her an' happiness.

[whatoddities]

She knew that man. Roan! It had been a while since they had talked. She ran up to him and started to talk - only realising that she was still a cat and anything she said was miaows...

Roan glanced down at the sound of mewing, and stared at the cat at his feet. After a moment, he reached down and gave the kitty a scratch behind the ears.

"Sorry little buddy," he said with a frown. "But I don't got anythin' ta feed ya."

[whatoddities]

I'm an orsimer female in my early twenties. I have crimson hair and sky blue eyes. Don't worry about the tusks, they're small! I would describe my ideal date as a quiet affair - dinner and chatting and perhaps a walk in the mountains to meet my dragon masters?

The Orsimer bit was what really caught her attention. Tort had only met a handful of Orcs before. But at the last comment, she pulled a rather confused face."Dragon masters? What do you mean by dragon masters?"

{Meed grinned and shrugged. "Sure, m'up for anything once, you know?"}

{Basil raised a brow, thoroughly confused. "What... what are dragon masters? Will they eat me? Cause if they won't - the rest sounds pretty fun.} 

[Roan merely stared at the mage quietly, before swallowing thickly and shaking his head no. It'd be too dangerous now.]
