Roadie is flirty, lazy, laid-back, and naturally laconic. Seems to be full of road stories but doesn’t think they’re that interesting, and although he is not secretive, he rarely mentions anything about his personal life, past, or work unless it's relevant to the task at hand. He usually goes with the flow in the band and lets the others fuss over things and get the credit, but really, he's the one who knows most what he's doing, and he'll quietly steer them out of the fire when he has to. He's very professional when it comes down to it, and reliable when called upon to do something-- which makes him sometimes butt heads with Izzy, who's in charge but all over the place.

A hedonist, his main motivation is to enjoy life, with good music, good sex, good food and good friends. Roadie doesn't exert himself over anything he doesn't particularly care about, but he's very dedicated when it comes to something he does care about, like music. He knows his skills will carry him through, whatever happens, and that is why he is willing to take chances like playing with this college band in this silly contest. Not much in life really worries him; always calm under pressure.

Not much on commitment and not a fan of people trying to tell him what to do, outside of a professional context. He's not used to spending a lot of time in one place, and this is the first time he's been a full-time member of a band. He sees himself as a hired gun and isn't thinking of the band as a long-term thing. He's not exactly expecting or seeking fame and fortune out of this contest.

He's self-confident, and charming to everyone from the elderly downstairs neighbor he helps with chores to the ladies and the fellas. He's not particularly outgoing, but he's comfortable in any room. He can be blunt, though, and especially sharp if he thinks you're intentionally wasting his time. Roadie isn't much of a combative person, but if you push him far enough, he will definitely give you exactly what you deserve.

Roadie is short and chubby, with black hair, sideburns, and a goatee, and jade green eyes.

He wears a lot of gray and black, and likes neat monochromes and muted solid colors or subtle patterns. He doesn't wear loud patterns or bright colors. He's usually wearing gray or black chucks and either button-down shirts or dark hoodies and layers. He often has his sleeves rolled up, but he takes pride in his appearance and doesn't like to look sloppy.

Roadie loves chess and complicated Russian crosswords, and he keeps up with the newspapers from back home.

He loves music more than anything and owns a big vinyl collection that covers the walls of his apartment. He usually has a guitar or something else he's working on laying on his workbench. He has miscellaneous music and tech skills and can repair or otherwise handle a lot of electrical or other handyman tasks. His dream would probably be to make a living building and selling his own guitars.

He loves food, but he'd rather eat out or "help" Haggis cook than cook for himself.

Other interests include black coffee, astronomy, documentaries, and making out with the rhythm guitarist.

Roadie has lived in the U.S. since he was 17; his English is very good, but it gets sloppier when he's tired or drunk, and he'll mutter things in Russian when he doesn't want the others to understand him (like if he wants to insult Izzy or say something cute to Haggis).

He can dance.

Roadie's a multi-instrumentalist; he'll play whatever the band needs, and he's good. He keeps multiple guitars and a keyboard in his apartment, but his leading lady is his bass Katya. She's a Music Man Stingray in Pacific Blue Burst, and the first real thing he owned in America. His guitar strap is black weave with a blue embroidered flower pattern.

He finds something interesting about most genres of music, but he's especially partial to classic rock and metal, and jazz and jam bands (the band he was most recently a guitar tech for, Wanderlust, was something like Phish) that he bores Haggis to tears with. He loves Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.
