Roman

Appearance

- Soft-faced even when he's impassioned, he has a sense about him overall-- in posture, and attitude-- that seems to suggest that he's capable and assured.
- Overall thin in figure, but not sickly or 'sharp'-looking. Soft might fit him as a better descriptor due to his supple skin.
- Seems somewhat hairless in terms of body hair. Rarely has to shave his face or worry about visible body hair.
- Has honey-amber eyes, hidden by his large glasses (usually).
- He often dyes his pale brown hair by himself, working over the past dye-jobs at odd intervals-- his hair color seems uneven. He's bleached it a few times... But it's rare.
- This respectful fellow keeps to himself in terms of body language. Only when he's comfortable is he open with his touch, even if it's harmless or meaningless.
- His clothes usually fit along his body-shape, but if the trends of the time stray from his standby, he'll willingly try something new.
   When he's crossdressing, he's happy to try anything, though what others see is another story (and depends on what interests them).

Personality

BIO

Roman is your average young man: hafu ("it's average for me, I guess."), eats more than he weighs at dinner, spends most of his free time glued to his computer.
There was just one snag as he got older and older, and started depending more on himself for income where his parents refused to cooperate (and boy did it feel like they never had enough to spare even when they were in a good mood)...
He grew into his role of coming off soft and needy to willing benefactors like a duck takes to water-- something he came into when between shitty dead-end jobs, looking for a little extra spending money. He loves this job dearly but it certainly isn't sustainable in the real world. It aggravates him since it's the best thing that's ever happened to him. Though, that's not saying too much... Roman's a bit sheltered in that sense.

Unfortunately, he is a bit unsorted, not considering 'the big picture', and does not pursue other avenues of income until much later in his life. As it is, most of his life is comprised of compartmentalizing the seedy aspects away from the humdrum mediocrity of what he was raised on.
Though he doesn't like letting on to it, he does come to depend on the thrill of wheedling folks with cash to spare and often ups the ante solely to feel entertained and satisfied with improving (i.e.- just how much money can someone gift him without having to do much in return?).
As his pleasant disposition suggests, Roman does not approve of others- especially strangers- judging him, and will also go to extreme lengths to cover up his second life all in favor of keeping up appearances of a guy with nothing going on... Most of the time it's assumption, but he'd rather be safe than sorry to keep everyone in good favor with him.

Trivia

• Fluent in English and Japanese. Since he defaults more to English, he has a slight accent when speaking Japanese.
• He never wears his glasses when at 'work', and will often put on non-prescribed lenses if requested by his benefactors. [He thinks nobody'll like them when he's being femme.]
     Roman is nearsighted, which has gotten him into trouble a few times when forgoing his eyewear out and about...
• Not only is crossdressing a part of his life that he enjoys, he often considers gender in general to be fluid, though he rarely sees a need to discuss it with others, whether it be at work or just living his 'normal life'.
     Also, he doesn't do drag. Just crossdressing (important distinction for him).
• He tried to do youtuber/twitch LP stuff but it didn't pan out and he got embarrassed as hell at his 'failures'. (And all the friends he made via his streams and LPs he tries to avoid like the plague  hoping they won't say anything about how he 'sucked'...)
• Has a pet cat named Balrog. Often nicknamed 'Baru' or 'Rogurogurogu' when Ro's in a gushy mood.
