02 Raushan

Lilium Candidum - Madonna Lily

NUMBER TWOOOOO which I guess makes it ironic because Raushan began his life as a third-wheel kind of character. NOT ANY MORE.

It's true though, many many years ago he was just this miscellaneous third-man who hung around long enough for me to start giving him character development. Dude is like an onion. First he was like a lolprettyboy and now he's like lolmanwhore-pitiable-jerk-who-needs-a-hug-but-is-also-a-jerk-with-unreasonable-expectations-and-bad-shit-happens-to-him-which-isn't-always-his-fault-and-I-don't-know-if-he's-an-antagonist-or-a-protagonist-maybe-both-I-guess.

Name: Raushan
Age: 24
Height: 6'3"
Sexuality: Hot for the wimens :I
Appearance (in words): Tall, broad shouldered, and well built. He cuts an imposing figure anywhere. Dark skinned, with grey eyes and thick black hair that he usually ties or braids. He's short-sighted and wears glasses occasionally (though he prefers not to), kind of like these.
One quirk: When nervous he'll keep fiddling with a silver ring on his thumb.
Family: Older sister, Malia. His father re-married, and he has one half brother.
Occupation: Ex-Ai'Ven. Manwhore friend to all the ladies.
History: Raushan's mother died during childbirth, and it was something his father never quite got over. A fine line between bitterness and hope. As their only surviving son, a lot of the family's burdens and expectations fell on him, and his father was both protective and overly critical. So when Raushan was given the opportunity learn and study on his own, he took the bull by both horns. Unburdened, and with an almost flippant recklessness, he reveled in his newfound freedom. But duty has a way of catching up in unpleasant ways. The future is littered with many possibilities, but like most foolish young men, he will make all the wrong choices first.
Personality: Raushan has that upbeat, extroverted personality which naturally attracts people to him, and he's not afraid to flaunt it with the ladies. Sure, sometimes you just want to slap him, but damned if you can hold a grudge against him for long. With an imposing stature and quietly commanding presence, its hard to not agree with him when he has his mind set on something. He can be persuasive when he wants to, but his attitude is flippant more often than not. When something is wrong he confides poorly and usually when it's too late. And when you hide as many secrets as Raushan does, you end up with some major problems.

------WHAT THESE MOFOS THINK OF EACH OTHER------
Isaia - They rub each other the wrong way like brushing a cat backwards. Raushan can't stand the sense of knowing mocking which Isaia exudes, and must always bite his tongue around him to resist the urge to punch Isaia in the mouth.
Sanabhi - They got along quite well in their youth; Sanabhi always admired Raushan's upbeat nature, while Raushan always had a great respect for Sanabhi's drive and determination. They are still on good terms although cracks are beginning to grow in their friendship.
