Looks awkward. =====Background===== A hard-working and rather book-covered librarian and amateur alchemist at the College of 1,027 Arts, Roman is the only student of the //Department of Narrative Study (For Short)// under Professor Strauss Propp. Not a keen Warrior or Mage, Roman wishes to accompany adventurers as part of his research into exactly why Heroes and Villains exist, why events happen as they do with such dramatic acclaim, and why History often feels like it was Written for us. \\ \\ Somewhat meek and mousey, Roman has a keen mind, and has moments of brilliant heroism. Roman brews potions of Strength, but turns his nose up at that branding, preferring to call them "Essence of Heroism Distilled", straight from his head. \\ \\ As part of his research, Roman became fascinated with The Princess Of Stories, and now devotes his work to her. \\ \\ Roman seems to dress down, and tries very hard not to call attention to himself. Apart from the Alchemy Labs, The Department of Narrative Study (For Short), and a very, very local tavern below his bedsit, Roman spends no time not researching and working in the Library or keeping himself to himself in his room. {{tag>pc davoul}}
