Roman had very inattentive parents as a child. They would often
leave him home alone when they went out, and ignore him when
they were home, so eventually he stopped trying to get their
attention and stayed quiet. This learned behavior continued all
throughout his childhood and into adulthood, so he has very
little experience interacting with other people. He has to
conserve his energy because he recieves so little attention from
people, so he sleeps a lot.
He met Vaun one day at a coffee shop, of all places, where Vaun
approached him out of nowhere and tried to expend some energy to
help him out. Roman found the behavior extremely odd, since
nobody had ever approached him without wanting something from
him; but somehow before they knew it, they moved in together,
and Vaun was the most important person in his life. It was only
a few months later that they ended up joining NVRS, when Roman
expressed some interest in the idea, and they moved from their
apartment into a house with Nonny and Sonia.
Roman is very quiet, and it's hard to get him to open up about
himself. He's nervous about sharing the things he likes, but can
talk a lot about them once he gets started. His favorite types
of games are ones without a set end goal. He has trouble falling
asleep alone, so he and Vaun share a bed. Because he doesn't
talk a lot, he can sometimes surprise people with witty, harsh
jokes, though he never says anything that he thinks would hurt
people. He cuts his own hair, so one side is slightly longer
than the other.
