Bio:Character Information

Name: Roman Gregorevich Trentov

Nickname: Jackpot

Age: 32

Birthplace: Russia

Sex: Male

Occupation: News Editor (works from home outside school hours), also works as a freelance journalist (Under the name R. Phantom.)

Appearance: Roman is tall standing at just over 6' and thin, though not quite scrawny. He has dark slate coloured eyes which when working are framed by glasses. He has jet black hair that he wears long and is only tied back when he goes into the office. He has a thin face though his features are quite soft and gentle, but he does have quiet a sweet smile.

When working he wears simple suits, usually with the tie lopsided or not tied all the way up - unless Den sorts it before he leaves the house - it's a basic smartness he tries to achieve and mostly manages it. At home he wears comfy clothing, jeans or slacks and t-shirts, he does like waistcoats though, some are a little ragged but he wont part with them. Of course one thing he will never be without is his wedding ring.

Personality: Roman is a shy sweet man, though he does have a gentle humour to him that not many get to see. If you make friends with him though you will have a devoted friend for life. He is highly studious and would generally like a quiet life, of course with a seven year old around, and a wife with a hectic job that doesn't happen very often... but he's not complaining, he very much enjoys his life. Though not extremely exciting by some peoples view, it suits him just fine.

He is the type of person that believes in old fashioned romance, though it is usually unexpected. He is a very kind and loving person but all of a sudden, particularly when Deni has been busy he will surprise her with something special.

Special abilities/talents: Negotiation, cooking, cleaning, organising.

Species/Group: Human
Power(s): N/A

History:
Roman was born and raised in Russia, he was from a middle class family and the focus was always on education. He passed through school with good grades though it wasn't easy, but after finishing compulsory education at age 15 he took further education then at 19 he was accepted into a prestigious university. He wasn't like the usual student, he didn't party and get drunk, he preferred to stay home and read, or study. He took English language, English literature and journalism. Though he did surprise his family and tutors when he decided half way through his four year course to take a year out to work full time instead of badly paid part time jobs.

He spent the first six months working as an office gopher for a local news paper before his working visa came through for America. He decided that working in the land of freedom and opportunity that he had arranged everything himself would look very good on his resume. Both of these jobs he lived in small run down apartments that were cheap to rent and worked long hours for little pay. He moved to San Francisco to take on a six month journalist internship, which was basically an office gopher that looks better on paper.

It was in the few weeks here that he met Deni. Rather he was browsing an old second hand book store and she mauled him. She was forward and mad, and he certainly wasn't, but he fell hard and fast. Though he didn't expect her to propose to him, but she did! Eventually he said yes, it wasn't that he didn't love her, it was just all so fast and he should have been the one to propose, and they'd only been dating just over five months, he took it as a leap of faith that it would last. It also meant giving up his education, which he did willingly.

Of course they had to get married very quickly before his visa ran out, which brought unwanted attention from the authorities and they spent some time convincing them it wasn't a marriage of convenience. Roman then continued to work but did go to night school to get more qualifications since he wasn't going to return to Russia to finish his degree.

Deni's parents have never been happy that she married him so he always looks forward to their calls and visits. They are quite racist towards him too and had hoped that Deni would have married a nice wealthy black doctor. Instead they got a thin white man they can barely understand who compared to Deni doesn't make good money, so they really don't like him.

It wasn't long after this that Roman found out about his bone disorder, though he is trying not to worry about that until he has to, but he is being much more careful.

Both Roman and Deni worked very hard and studied hard then three years later they found out she was pregnant, they had a son, and called him Parker. Since Deni was still studying the duty of staying home with their son fell to Roman. Though he was lucky enough to find an editing job that meant he could work from home, so he could make money while Deni studied and he took care of Parker.

Since then they have moved to New York and Miami for Deni's studying and work. He would happily follow her anywhere, and in fact she's just been contacted by an old friend who has said there is a job in need of her skills in Mysteria. He has also found a job with the news paper that will allow him to work from home when needs to and a school for Parker. It's a new chapter in their lives and he is very much looking forward to a new town, Miami is just too hot!

Flaws:

  • Speech Impediment - Although Roman has been in America over a decade he still has a very thick Russian accent, add that to the fact he is very softly spoken and it can make him quite difficult to understand quite a lot of the time. He has been known to just not speak at times, but he is getting better at this, and is patient when speaking with people.

  • Soft-hearted - Roman is a nice man, too nice. Because he will do anything for anyone, even if he doesn't trust them, he usually doesn't recognise when someone is using him, which can lead to him either being hurt by people or exhausting himself for no real reason than other people are jerks.

  • Diseased - Roman has adult on set Osteopetrosis, also called marble bones disease. His bones are becoming increasingly dense and brittle and can break quite easily, making him very careful. The problem will only get worse though as he gets older.


  • Over protective parent - Due to Roman's illness and his general paranoid nature he worries constantly about Parker getting hurt and has to be reminded a lot that little boys just have to be left to play and have fun and hurt themselves so they will learn.

  • Paranoid - Thanks to stories he heard when growing up and his dealing with the American government Roman is paranoid that they are still being watched and even the slightest slip or argument with Deni and he will be deported. He doesn't trust new people until he gets to know them, even then he can still be a little skeptical.

  • Conspiracy nut - Roman has of course like many come across a lot of conspiracy theories and various strange stories and having done his research and been interrogated by the government he knows a lot about them. Though unlike most people for who they can be a source of amusement Roman considers some and parts of others to be true, which just adds to his slightly odd behaviour.

    Merits:

  • Eidetic Memory - It's not that Roman is super smart, he just remembers everything he has ever seen. His head is full of useless information that he occasionally will just throw into conversation, that way it's not all completely useless. It also means though English is not his first language his written English is absolutely perfect.

  • Dependable - Roman is the kind of guy you can depend on, no matter what. If you make a friend of him he will do absolutely anything for you. He would also help a stranger if they needed it, even if it is out of his way.

  • Conspiracy nut - Being so obsessed with conspiracy theories has done him some good. He has written a lot of articles on them, many different types, and is his main source of income from his freelance work, for which he among certain circles is very well known under his pseudonym.

    Sexual Orientation: Straight
