The Earth Has Teeth RO intro: Commander Roschin
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 19:00:08 +0000 UTC
Full name: Serhii/Sara/Saba Roschin
Age: 39
Gender: selectable between cis man (he/him), cis woman (she/her), and transmasc (they/them)
Background: Roschin has lived in Rizhala all their life, apprenticing to the town guard in the footsteps of their now-older parents. Working their way up the ranks, they gained the attention of Warden Chura and impressed them enough to become one of the commanders of the guard. Nowadays they travel a lot, helping with local problems and recruiting people to join them in Rizhala.
Personality: outgoing, loyal, jovial, resilient
Appearance: mid-height, striking, and muscular, with smile-lines around their eyes and mouth. Loose and limber. Deep brown skin, curly black hair, and brown eyes.
Style: Male and female Roschin wear their hair long; transmasc Roschin wears it shorter and cropped. Transmasc and male Roschin have heavy beards. Their clothing is practical and attractive, with good quality linen shirts dyed with strong bright colours, a padded leather jerkin studded with metal reinforcement, and reinforced waxed-canvas trousers. Their cloak is lined with fur, and its clasp is embossed with the Rizhala town guard insignia.
At their best: warm, inspiring, courageous
At their worst: needling, careless, stubborn
You’ll like Roschin if you like… someone who’ll look out for you, who doesn’t take themself seriously while taking their job and missions very seriously, who’s settled in their role in life (for the moment), who’s a good leader
You’ll like romancing Roschin if you like… someone flirtatious, who will have your back and provide protection, who will boss you around if you’re into it, who may become staunchly loyal to you, with whom you can move fast if you want, who will always make it clear how they feel about you
A song from Roschin’s playlist: Make Me Feel by Janelle Monae
Face cast ideas: (bear in mind that this isn’t the be-all-and-end-all - feel free to imagine as you like) Uli Latufeku, Simone Kessell, Alex Tarrant

By the way, if you have any questions on your mind about my writing, don't forget the March Q&A! I've only had two questions so far, so I've got plenty of room for more. I'll be posting the answers on 31st March!

Oh there will definitely be chances to be hostile or mean! (I like giving chances for that with characters in general, I'm not one to only let you be nice!) I think there will be some late game moments I've got planned that you will enjoy...

I bring a sort of ACAB energy that makes me want to every interaction with this character to consist of me needling and being rude, mean, and downright unpleasant no matter what they say or do. Felt the same way about Hadrian in Golden Compass; I appreciated that I was able to do stuff that made that dude absolutely haaaaaate my character and to metaphorically give him the bird in every scene.

I like this guy. Do like the friendly neighbourhood local town guard vibes.
