School/Occupation: Destiny City University & Part Time Art Gallery Assistant
Hobbies: Drawing & Painting ||
Rowan’s room has no less than eight canvases in various states of competition at any given time. The completed pieces are scattered throughout the house and his family has taken to casually insisting that he leave them at school or donate them to the gallery.
Dance ||
He nearly gave up ballet half way through high school but now that he’s graduated and in University, dance keeps Rowan sane. Moving gives him something to focus on in between classes and work with the added bonus of tiring him on those days when he can’t get his brain to shut down.
Virtues: Confident ||
Rowan always presents himself as belonging exactly where he is at any given time. He has worked long and hard to get where he is and he’ll be damned if anyone lets him feel small and insignificant. Careful years of cultivating his image and learning just how to be at peace with himself lets Rowan swallow any fear for the lure of some greater reward. After all if he sets his mind to it how can he not excel?
Focused ||
Set to a task that he wants to do and Rowan will lose hours at a time consumed by it. When he works, he does so with the intention of knocking the project out in one sitting. Two at the absolute most if he can’t help it or if he needs help. The knack for being able to sit and work on a given task for such long spans is nothing short of an asset especially when practicing his dances or helping with the day to day in the art gallery.
Quick to forgive ||
The hot flash of a fight at breakfast is forgotten by lunch, only brought up in light jokes on Rowan’s end. Life’s too short for the sort of all abiding anger that holding a grudge requires, or so he claims in his noncommittal way. There are, after all, only a few that deserve that level of effort from him and even they are hardly offered that on the best of days. It’s all water under the bridge for Rowan at the end of it all.
Flaws: Arrogance is thy name ||
If it’s not for Rowan’s benefit then honestly, he wants nothing to do with it. Everything should be for his benefit. He’s amazing!
Everyone knows this. Even those that say he’s not are either delusional or lying. Maybe both at the same time as far as Rowan’s concerned. Not that he has
ever needed or wanted their approval.
Temper, temper ||
Rowan’s temper is at it’s heart, a flash in the pan. Explosive, dangerous at the initial onset and less so with each passing moment. The eventual cooling does nothing to change the fact that Rowan when angered doesn’t quite have a grasp of how far he should go before it’s too far. Someone stepping in to stop him or diffuse the situation is just as likely to be rounded on as the original target. Serious consequences though, not just threats of them, tend to be enough to drag him, still seething, back from that edge.
Tunnel Vision ||
That temper combined with Rowan’s arrogance and tendency to hyperfocus turns into a terrible, terrible case of tunnel vision. If he’s after someone, then he’s after them until such a time that he catches them, can’t get at them or he’s shaken out of it. The world could be burning around him but it won’t be until his own coat’s on fire that he’ll notice the chaos.
