Character Information
Name: Roman Gulliver
Appearance: art by me
Age: 21
Canon Point: Shortly after the end of Terms and Conditions
Canon History: Here's a 40 page short story I wrote in college. I usually let this serve as his wiki page. Please do not feel pressured to read this.
Character History:
CLIFF NOTES VERSION of the history provided above.
Roman took the long way home from school one day so he could smoke without getting caught and was struck by an automobile. In his last minutes he was approached by a demon disguised as an angel who promised to make it so that Roman's parents never found out he was smoking in return for a favor. Roman agreed without thinking and suddenly found himself in the demon's shoes. He was transformed and the demon was freed from his contract.
Roman called the demon out on his bullshit and the demon admitted to it and changed the terms of their deal. If Roman confessed to his parents he would be let out of the contract. Exactly what being 'let out' entailed since Roman had been dying literally minutes before was left undisclosed. However to make things interesting, the demon stole all of Roman's memories about his parents and how to find them.
It also sucked that nobody could see or hear him unless they were looking to make a deal.
He discovered that in order to regain his memories and grow powerful enough to manifest himself whenever he wanted, he must make deals with people. At first he only made small deals because he didn't want to trick people the way he had been tricked but he found that small deals took FOREVER to add up to remembering anything even remotely important about his parents. He stepped up his game and slowly built a reputation for himself so that he appeared in rumors and urban legends. One thing led to another and though he tried his best to be good, he started to see how awful and selfish people were so he stopped caring as much about not hurting them.
All he wanted was to see his parents one more time and who knew what would happen if they passed away before he could get to them?
Besides two other demons and what he THINKS might have been a ghost, Roman has met no other supernatural beings.
Personality:
Roman is a good kid, but it's getting harder and harder to be good. He is frustrated with the world at large and is racing the clock. All he wants to do is go home to his parents and that is becoming more important to him than the well-being of other people.
Although he does not remember much about them, Roman was raised by two supportive and loving parents. They taught him to be honest (one memory he did regain) and were generally fun-loving people. His father told him about places all over the world because he worked at an airport and his mother always encouraged any creative streak Roman showed because she made jewelry for a living.
Roman turned out much the same (before the demon business anyway). Wanderlust is a big part of him and he has trouble staying put. He's a ham and loves to laugh or show off and make others around him laugh. Though he has no desire for a best friend he easily moves in and out of groups of people with little awkwardness or bad blood. If somebody is down, he'll listen and he easily accepts help from others. Roman isn't one to play hard-to-get. Though he may bend the truth, he rarely lies. He's also encouraging to an infectious degree. When someone is trying something new that they are enthusiastic about, Roman is often whipped up in the excitement and there cheering them on. Even when it's a terrible idea. In his mind it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
Since being shoved into the world of the supernatural, Roman has become strung-out and frightened. His patience is slowly shrinking and it upsets him because he was very proud of his chill disposition. Roman grew up a lot in his first year of college and is generally accepting of people. However, he has seen the nastiness of human nature and it makes him bitter and he insists that he is apart from them now even though he masquerades as one constantly. He likes to think that he's teaching humanity a lesson through the deals he makes. He is lost to the fantasy that he is always a victim trying to do good in the world through tough love. His childhood love of Ursula the sea witch plays into this and he's been known to quote Disney's The Little Mermaid from time to time while working his magic. Deep down he still wants to get this demon business over with with as little bloodshed as possible but it's getting difficult. His temper gets the best of him and results in cruel, twisted deals being struck.
Roman is proud of his accomplishments in learning the ropes of what he has become and has fallen prey to arrogance. If he does not feel like he's in danger he'll take risks and show off with his abilities. And speaking of showing off, you are better off posting all your secrets publicly to Facebook than you are telling anything to Roman. He's an enormous blabbermouth and the only secrets he seems to be able to keep are his own. Most of the time.
He likes to think of himself as a celebrity in hiding and in a way, he actually was back home. He created his own legend and that legend gave him power to preform more and more wonders. It also made people start to look for him and the once lone wolf had people tailing him. It was exhilarating and frightening and Roman constantly battles with himself over whether he loves the attention or not.
Abilities:
Deals-
OKAY SO. Roman is like a cartoony Faustian demon. He makes deals with people. He can provide nearly any item or circumstance for the right price. That price depends on how important the thing is. Prices can range from favors to memories to talents to pokemon cards to sandwiches. His deals will backfire on the customer if the price is too low because it’s less taxing on Roman. Making deals helps him both regain memories and add to his magic ‘reservoir’. If it empties out, he will turn invisible and have a hard time being seen and heard until he is summoned old school style.
Deals take much OOC planning. PLEASE NERF THIS LITTLE TWERP give me some good boundaries, LA mods!
To make deals, he uses an item called THE CLIPBOARD. It’s a strange, possibly sentient item that he channels his magic through and archives his past deals. If destroyed, Roman will have to find a new way to make deals and grow his magic supply.
Image-
He can manifest effortlessly at this canon point, but still has to keep an eye on things if he wants to maintain a specific disguise or alteration to his base demon shape. He builds up this skill the same way one would strengthen a muscle. If he forgets to 'suck it in', his reflection and shadow will betray his true shape. Roman has trouble holding onto his disguises when overcome by strong emotions or nasty injuries.
He can disappear entirely, but still remains solid. If he is hiding in a room, you can trip on him or hear him breathing. He will not be invisible to high sensitives and other magical folks with certain gifts. He may appear as a hazy area or completely visible.
Prestidigitation-
Roman can make illusions and manifest small solid objects (cups, pencils, fake money) that return to his magic reservoir when he is done using them.
Pyromancy-
It would be silly if a demon couldn't produce fire. He can breathe fire and cast it from his hands and hooves. His temper will cause his body temperature to rise and produce smoke. This exerts magic.
Float-
Roman can currently levitate about four feet above the ground (he's too scared to go any higher) and move at walking speed. This exerts magic.
