You want to be a hero?

As for me, I'll do what I do best: lie, steal, cheat and survive!

I see you've made it to the rules! Congratulations.

♣. Please call me Tea! My pronouns are they/them and I'm 29 years old. I should also state I am VERY VERY NEW to the RWBY scene. I am still on volume 2 (i think), so my knowledge is still limited!♣. This blog is HIGHLY SELECTIVE and PRIVATE. This is for my own comfort. If we aren't mutuals, please don't send me memes or reply to or like open starters and starter calls, these are reserved for mutuals only.

♣. I am a very busy person who works fulltime and deals with a lot of mental health stuff. I have a dissociative disorder and this greatly impacts my activity both ic and ooc. Please be patient with me. It's important that you don't rush me for responses.♣. Anonymous is turned off for my own comfort. I may turn it on in the future, but that will be at my own discretion.

♣. I will NOT be lenient with this rule. If I see you vague posting or being overly aggressive about something in a vague manner, I WILL hard block you. This also includes being passive aggressive, guilt tripping or otherwise manipulative towards me. I am all for talking things out to resolve an issue, and would prefer to do that.♣. I will not take part in underage ships, incest ships, or anything that contains dubious themes such as r/pe, n/ncon, and d/bcon. I am all for writing dark content such as horror themes and angst, but there is a line I draw.

♣. I do not participate in drama or callout culture unless the person in question involved in the callout is a GENUINE DANGER to minors or the community. Please don't rope me into unnecessary drama, especially if it's personal beef. HOWEVER. If you do see me interacting with a toxic or harmful individual, please let me know ASAP. Chances are I have no idea.♣. Roman is a ruthless criminal. He's a highly skilled individual despite not having a semblance. He is quick and cunning and dangerous, and I am going to portray him as such. I will not water down his character. That being said, my portrayal will be slightly more CANON-DIVERGENT. due to canon events.

♣. I am okay with duplicates following me. I hold the firm belief that similar headcanons for duplicates can co-exist. It is possible for like-minded ideas to be developed by more than one person, especially if they're writing the same character. I think they're all unique, even if there are similarities and I love seeing all the interesting spins.♣. I do have a discord, but I would much prefer I grow more comfortable interacting first before I give it out. This is for my own comfort and peace of mind!

♣. Please do not steal any of my graphics. All graphics on this blog are made by me. Icons, promos, theme, etc.♣. If you're going to reblog a meme from me, please send me a meme. Otherwise reblog from the source. If the OP is deactivated and you're unable to do so, however, feel free to reblog it from me.♣. I'm sorry if my rules sound harsh, I promise I am very nice! Tumblr tends to be a scary environment for me so I have to double down on my rules and boundaries. I would love to make friends, I hope we can write together! Thank you so much for reading this far if you have. <3

♣. I don't have a lot of triggers, but I do have some.

Politics (outside of plotting and muses)
heavy topics of alcohol /alcoholism (outside of plotting and muses)

ABOUT

♣ Name. Roman Torchwick.
♣Age. 28.
♣Height. 6'3
♣Gender. Male
♣Weapon. Melodic Cudgel
♣Occupation. Criminal
♣Status. Wanted.
♣Previous Affiliation. Cinder's faction
♣Current Affiliation. Independent / works alongside Neo

Roman had allied himself with Cinder's faction with the belief that they couldn't be beaten. He has too much to lose, so of course if you can't beat 'em, may as well join 'em... right?After the events that took place at Beacon and the fight atop Ironwood's airship with Ruby he was believed to be dead. Shortly after being devoured, the Grimm was killed in the crossfire and plummeted to the ground below. Roman had the chance to free himself from the monster's belly, but not unscathed.
Roman lost an arm in the incident, and currently has a robotic prosthetic.
He no longer considers himself an ally with Cinder's faction, and instead has branded them an enemy alongside the Huntsman (especially Ruby, whom he holds a grudge against for continuously foiling his plans and interfering).Depending on the verse, Roman is working alone after being separated from Neo or was quickly found by Neo and continues to work alongside her after retreating to safety and licking their wounds.

Ability: Clockwork Orange
Using small handcrafted bombs that take a similar appearance of oranges specially made to be loaded into his cane (melodic cudgel), he can detonate a powerful blast that gives off an equally citrus-like scent rather than your normal... bomb smell. While not an ability, it did take a huge amount of effort and engineering for the end product result.
Currently stationed in: Yokohama
Current Affiliation: Independent
Roman is a seemingly extraordinary man, much like the other gifted. However, his ability is nothing but a fake that he writes off as an ability. He's not envious of those who have them, not at all. He sees it more as a game than he does as an attempt to fit in with his peers. He has his own skills he's proud of and doesn't need an ability. He is proficiant in things such as Martial Arts (Bartitsu), Pickpocketing, Piloting, Bargaining and Negotiating.Roman Torchwick is an independent villain originally from America and formerly affiliated with the Guild. He came to Yokohama with Fitzgerald in his search for the book, however it was before the final phase of the plan that he and Neo both split ways and sat in hiding in another city before the Guild officially disbanded.Yumeno's curse had affected Neo, causing her to attack him. This lead to his final decision to cut ties with Fitzgerald, and currently bears a grudge. He grabbed Neo and fled to another city where they laid low for a while.

DISCLAIMER: I do not associate with the BNHA rpc. If you are here to follow me for this verse, DO NOT FOLLOW ME. If you are a friend or someone I know and talk to from the rpc, fine. But if not, you will be HARD BLOCKED.Quirk: quirkless
Affiliation: independent villain
Organization: Will-O'-The-Torch
Roman is a villain who rules part of the underground where he takes part in illegal activities such as dealing trigger and other black market deals. He is knowledgeable of the activity that goes on in the underground and is willing to sell this information to those who want it... but for a pretty penny. He originally came from America, but due to the larger crime activity after All Might's retirement, came to Japan to do business.Being quirkless, Roman has his own self-defense tactics. He is skilled in martial arts and hand to hand combat and carries with him a silver tongue, able to sweet talk himself out of situations. He is not as defenseless as he may seem, relying heavily on support gear (mainly his cane) to aid him.Using the money he gains for selling information, he invests in this support gear and any repairs needed.He runs his own organization called Will-O'-The-Torch (Also known as Willow or Torch for short), but has very few who work for him aside from any lowlife urchins who want to get their hands dirty for him. He keeps one loyal person at his side, and that's Neo.
