RJ Broca by LalaLiliLalaLii on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Just like Auris, RJ is a character I used for my earlier story (which also is an open character, in a sense that some of my friends had 'borrowed' him to stir the plot in their stories...with some modifications and an expressly written credit of this character).

He's a loner, sort of a jerk, and an oddball. :0
The only one ever called himself his friend would be Auris Wernicke.

==================================================

Name:
Romeo Jardine "RJ" Broca

Age:
15

Appearance:
Messy dark blonde hair that looked always like he just woke up and forgot to comb it, Meditteranean tan skin, slightly slanting deep set eyes (they're green), a pair of scars on his left cheek, muscular built, usually seen wearing a worn out, long sleeved t-shirt with a short sleeved, darker colored one over it, old jeans, dirty sneakers. His posture slouched a bit as if he's just too tired to stand in correct posture, sometimes with his hands crossed on his chest in a somewhat challenging manner. When he's frightened, intimidated, or desperate, his left cheek would twitch and his eyes would look around him a little wildly, as if trying to find a way to escape with his eyes. When he's curious, excited, or anxious, he would press his lip hard and make a frown that would look almost like he's angry. His face would look pissed most of the time, and bored, and tired. He rarely ever smiled, not to mention laughed. There are shadows under his eyes that seemed like from extreme lack of sleep, and when angered, his bright green eyes would look as if they were shining, he'd hunch a little more, and his muscles would tense all over.

Other informations:
* He rarely sleep more than 3-4 hours a week.
* He smokes like a chimney and drinks beer almost daily, even though the smoking and drinking damaged his throat and made his baritone voice sound very husky, like all seasoned smokers.
* He has scars all over his body, some of them were self-inflicted. As a recreational masochist, he does have the tendency to carve some more with a knife onto his skin.
* He's agoraphobic.
* His literacy level is very low. He reads like a second grader, with an especially horrible handwriting, and doesn't like those fact to be known. Not because he's dyslexic, though. The last time he went to school was indeed when he was 8.
* He works out whenever he couldn't sleep, hence all the muscle. Either working out, or hurt himself, or painting.
* He's very good at painting. Selling his painting is his only source of income.
* Anyone who calls him "Romeo" or make any Shakespeare jokes about it gets a dead arm.

Personality:
RJ is a self-acknowledged loner with unpredictable temper, would rather spend time in his room for days or even weeks until his food supplies run out. Sometimes he really didn't feel like going out even if his fridge is completely empty, and he'd rather starve and stay on the couch than go out to buy things. When he does go out, he doesn't bother talking to anyone unless, say, the said person is standing right in front of the only exit and he had to move this person either verbally or physically (he'd try it physically first)...or something along the line. As a result, he knew almost nobody, and the fact that he smelled of smoke and beer all the time doesn't help. These characteristics of him are the major source of concern for the nice elderly people who lived near the shack he lived in (apart from the many times they saw him gulping down a can of beer...yeah, they knew he's underage). When he does talk to people, he'd almost always be brief, rude (not on purpose), and straightforward; not thinking twice of calling someone a smartass, a dick, or a bitch when asked...if he does think so of that person. Which makes him an unpleasant company in several sense of the word. It takes a lot from people to get to know him...assuming anyone would bother to. When someone gets to know him, though, he will often tell witty jokes that would make the person listening to it laugh, though he most likely wouldn't laugh along. He has a strange sense of humor, not that he has none...but he's amused by things not usually seen as amusing, and most likely won't be amused by things most people found funny or interesting. Anyway, most of the time, when he had spent a while outside, he would need a couple of days to 'recover' and he'd lurk inside his room for the time being.

Power:
* Touch-sensitive mindreading: he could see what's in a person's mind when he touched that person. Anywhere. Anytime. The more area he touched and the longer his skin is in direct contact with another's, the more he can get. This includes when he hits someone in the face or when one of the elderly people patted his neck. Actually, it was his power that allowed him to know exactly what a customer expected him to paint. After reading someone's mind (and maybe even experiencing their emotions/thoughts/etc) he'd be feeling dizzy. The more he gets from someone, the dizzier he gets. Which isn't very good, since he already get dizzy pretty often from the little but frequent voluntary blood loss. .....Oh. Humans only, by the way. His power has no effect on animals or plants.
* Despite of him seemingly trying to kill himself daily (though he didn't want to die if you ask him), he tend to have random burst of strength and stamina that might happen unexpectedly. Something like going berserk. But it will start and end quickly, sometimes so quick that the burst might've already stopped after he hit someone once. There had been a time when the burst suddenly stopped when his fist was still midair!
