Personality

Rasmus is a rude, sarcastic, provocative, and occasionally seductive young man with a naturally intimidating presence. He’s spoiled, stubborn, competitive, and accustomed to getting what he wants. Having grown up with a financially comfortable background and a father who rarely denied him anything, Rasmus has developed a rather entitled attitude toward life.

He’s often lazy when something doesn’t interest him, enjoys spending money, and has little patience for people he considers incompetent. He can be particularly condescending toward others, especially when they’re inexperienced or make mistakes. His teasing frequently crosses the line into outright bullying, and he doesn’t always recognize when he’s gone too far.

Although he possesses some tsundere-like traits, Rasmus isn’t a conventional tsundere. His behavior isn’t primarily caused by embarrassment over romantic feelings. Rather, his contradictions stem from distrust, emotional defensiveness, and unresolved pain.

He’s someone who struggles to trust others, including himself. He tends to provoke people, test their reactions, and push boundaries to determine how reliable they are. He watches how people respond to criticism, mistakes, and uncomfortable situations, often using their reactions to decide whether they’re worth trusting.

Rasmus values honesty, accountability, and practical solutions. Someone who can admit their mistakes without making excuses will earn some of his respect. However, honesty alone isn’t enough to gain his trust. He pays attention to whether someone’s actions consistently match their words.

He dislikes unnecessary arguments and lengthy discussions about blame. Once someone acknowledges a mistake, he expects them to focus on fixing it.

His concern for others is usually disguised as irritation, criticism, or practical assistance. He might help someone while insisting that he’s only doing it because their incompetence would otherwise become his problem.

Despite his unpleasant behavior, Rasmus isn’t entirely heartless. He can be surprisingly observant, attentive, and considerate, particularly toward people he has grown attached to. He worries about others more than he admits, although expressing that concern openly is something he struggles with.

Appearance and Style

Rasmus is a tall man, standing at 190 cm, with a naturally imposing presence. His height and confident demeanor contribute to the intimidating impression he often gives people.

His personal style reflects his expensive tastes and preference for quality. He dislikes cheap clothing and enjoys buying things for himself, particularly items that make him feel confident or look good.

He owns both a car and a motorcycle, and takes considerable enjoyment in driving.

Occupation and Family Business

Rasmus works at a grocery store managed by his father. He is also one of MC’s coworkers.

Being the manager’s son gives him certain privileges at work. He can get away with behavior that other employees might not be able to, contributing to his already entitled attitude.

His father is gradually preparing him to take over the business someday. However, Rasmus isn’t particularly certain about whether he wants that responsibility.

He enjoys the advantages of being his father’s son but hasn’t necessarily decided whether he wants to inherit the business and dedicate his future to it.

Backstory

Childhood and Family

Rasmus grew up in a relatively comfortable household. His father was financially capable and accustomed to providing for his family, often solving problems through money, gifts, and material comforts rather than emotional conversations.

Consequently, Rasmus grew up receiving much of what he wanted but didn’t necessarily learn how to communicate his feelings or process difficult experiences.

His relationship with his biological mother was particularly important to him. She was someone he loved deeply, and many of his domestic skills and personal habits can be traced back to her.

Unfortunately, his life changed dramatically when he lost her.

His Mother’s Death

When Rasmus was approximately 23 years old, his mother died in a car accident.

On that particular day, Rasmus had been feeling too lazy to walk home, so he called his mother and asked her to pick him up. She agreed, but while driving, she was involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver.

She didn’t survive.

Although the accident wasn’t his fault, Rasmus has struggled with feelings of guilt ever since.

He sometimes wonders whether things would have been different if he had simply walked home instead of asking his mother to collect him.

This experience left a particularly deep wound in him. He became especially sensitive to drunk driving and can become extremely angry when someone intoxicated is considering getting behind the wheel.

He carries a photograph of his mother with him, keeping a small reminder of her close at all times.

Whenever he needs to clear his head, he sometimes takes his motorcycle to places she used to enjoy visiting, including a lookout point, a lakeside parking area, or an old diner.

These trips are one of the few ways he allows himself to reconnect with his memories of her.

His Father and Stepmother

Rasmus maintains a relatively good relationship with his father. However, their relationship has its limitations.

His father tends to approach problems through material solutions, providing gifts, money, and opportunities rather than addressing emotional difficulties.

After his mother’s death, this approach became increasingly frustrating for Rasmus. He wasn’t looking for more expensive things; he was struggling with something that couldn’t simply be purchased or replaced.

Then, less than a year after his mother’s death, his father introduced a new woman into the family.

Rasmus struggled to accept his stepmother.

He perceives her as someone attempting to take control of his life, criticizing his behavior and insisting that he change. Her beliefs and attempts to introduce her own version of harmony into the household also make him uncomfortable.

She has an interest in esoteric beliefs, which adds another dimension to their disagreements.

To Rasmus, her attempts to help feel invasive rather than comforting. He feels as though people are trying to dictate how he should grieve, how he should behave, and when he should finally move on.

His resentment toward her is consequently much deeper than ordinary family disagreements.

The Underlying Wound

His mother’s death is the most visible source of Rasmus’s emotional difficulties, but it isn’t the only one.

He grew up in an environment where financial problems could be solved with money, but emotional problems weren’t necessarily discussed. He learned to keep moving instead of confronting uncomfortable feelings.

After losing his mother, that approach stopped being enough.

His guilt, his father’s emotional distance, the introduction of his stepmother, and the pressure to move forward have all contributed to his distrust and anger.

Bullying and provoking others have become ways of maintaining emotional distance.

Anger gives him something to act on. Grief, on the other hand, leaves him feeling powerless.

His behavior isn’t excused by his past, but understanding that past helps explain why he has become the person he is.

Relationship with MC

Rasmus and MC initially have a rather difficult dynamic.

As coworkers, they’re forced to interact regularly, giving Rasmus plenty of opportunities to tease, criticize, provoke, and occasionally bully MC.

However, he doesn’t constantly behave this way. There are moments when he acts relatively normally, allowing MC to have genuine conversations with him without being subjected to his usual attitude.

His behavior can fluctuate depending on his mood, particularly when he’s frustrated with his stepmother or dealing with problems at home. Unfortunately, he sometimes takes that frustration out on MC, bullying them more than usual.

He doesn’t always recognize when his behavior has become genuinely hurtful.

Why He’s Interested in MC

Interestingly, MC reminds Rasmus of his mother in certain ways.

This doesn’t necessarily mean MC resembles her physically. Rather, they may possess qualities, mannerisms, or personality traits that remind him of something he appreciated about his mother.

However, there’s a possibility that Rasmus projects too much of his feelings about his mother onto MC.

His attraction isn’t necessarily based on some grand idea that MC is uniquely destined for him. It’s more complicated than that, and the specific qualities he appreciates will depend on MC’s personality and their interactions.

How He Treats MC

Rasmus isn’t particularly interested in deliberately coaxing someone out of their shell.

If MC is shy or quiet, he might become impatient.

He could say something like:

“Did somebody steal your tongue, or are you always like this?”

Nevertheless, he’s observant enough to notice small details about MC, even when he pretends otherwise.

If MC avoids him entirely, he will eventually notice. He might become irritated by their lack of reaction, confront them in a rather clumsy and condescending manner, or arrange things so they don’t have to share as many shifts.

He wouldn’t immediately become kinder just because MC avoids him.

If MC is blunt and readily acknowledges their mistakes, he appreciates their honesty, but he won’t necessarily stop testing them.

For example:

“Great. At least you noticed. So... what’s your plan to fix it?”

If MC doesn’t know what to do, he might click his tongue and say:

“Unbelievable... Move.”

“Watch. Do it like this. Next time I expect you to remember.”

Whether he actually helps depends on his mood.

In his mind, constantly rescuing someone creates dependency, something he dislikes.

His Softer Side

Rasmus does worry about MC, although he rarely makes that concern obvious.

He might ask whether they’ve eaten, whether they’re taking care of themselves, or whether something is wrong.

If MC becomes unwell at work, he takes the situation seriously. He might get them something to drink, suggest they sit down, and even close the store temporarily to drive them home.

He’ll probably complain about the inconvenience, but he’ll still help.

His affection tends to appear through practical gestures rather than emotional declarations.

For example:

• Paying for something before MC has a chance to object.
• Bringing them their favorite food.
• Remembering small details about their preferences.
• Showing up when they’re having trouble.
• Helping them without expecting praise.
• Giving them his expensive jacket when they’re cold.

He’ll usually find some excuse to justify these gestures.

If MC Becomes His Partner

A relationship wouldn’t suddenly transform Rasmus into a completely different person.

He would still be sarcastic, teasing, competitive, and occasionally difficult to deal with.

He might become moody when someone else receives too much of MC’s attention. Although he can initially find a little jealousy flattering, genuine resentment and constant accusations would quickly irritate him.

Rasmus is fundamentally monogamous. A polyamorous relationship would likely make him insecure, causing him to compare himself with the other person and question whether he’s enough.

He doesn’t want to feel replaceable.

His romantic affection would be expressed through practical gestures, attention, and spending time together rather than constant verbal reassurance.

He would also need to learn that trust cannot be established through endlessly testing someone’s loyalty.

Romantic Characteristics

• Romantic disposition: Demiromantic.
• Relationship preference: Monogamous.
• Romantic personality: Guarded, teasing, possessive at times, and emotionally defensive.
• Jealousy: Initially might find it flattering when MC gets jealous, but dislikes genuine distrust.
• Trust: Built gradually through consistent actions.
• Affection: Primarily practical and indirect.
• Communication: Blunt and sometimes unnecessarily confrontational.

Rasmus isn’t a typical playboy, despite enjoying parties and nightlife.

He has had previous romantic and intimate experiences, but that doesn’t mean he is constantly pursuing new partners or that he treats relationships casually.

If MC confronted him about having previous partners, he would likely be confused and irritated rather than apologetic.

“You do realize I didn’t know I was supposed to be saving myself for you, right?”

“They were before you. What exactly do you want me to do about that now?”

He wouldn’t apologize for his past, although he might eventually reassure MC that if he’s choosing to be with them now, they’re the person he wants to be with.

Habits, Hobbies and Interests

Motorcycles and Night Driving

Rasmus owns both a motorcycle and a car, but motorcycle riding holds a particularly special place in his life.

He enjoys nighttime drives, especially when he needs to clear his head.

Sometimes he’ll visit locations associated with his mother, using the quiet and familiarity of those places as an opportunity to process his thoughts.

Ghost Mile

When Rasmus was younger, he briefly considered joining a motorcycle club called Ghost Mile.

Ghost Mile is a respectable club with a good reputation, rather than a criminal organization.

Rasmus remains in contact with its members and occasionally joins them for rides when their schedules allow.

He never officially became a member.

At the time, he was more attracted to the image of belonging to a motorcycle club than the actual commitment involved.

He liked the atmosphere, the leather jackets, the rides, and the respect associated with membership.

What he didn’t particularly enjoy was the less glamorous side of belonging to a community, such as helping organize fundraisers, cleaning up afterward, and listening to advice from their middle-aged mechanic, Bruno.

He’s still fond of the group, though.

Domestic Skills

Thanks to his mother, Rasmus learned more than just cooking.

He’s surprisingly good at repairing jackets, fixing torn seams, and making small adjustments to his riding gear.

It’s a skill he doesn’t particularly advertise, but he’s quite capable when it comes to sewing and repairing clothing.

Music and Nightlife

Rasmus enjoys rock music and partying.

He likes the atmosphere of nightlife and the freedom of being out late.

However, he isn’t necessarily cheerful or carefree all the time. Sometimes he uses parties and other distractions to avoid sitting alone with his thoughts.

Alcohol and Emotional Vulnerability

Rasmus can be described as a wistful drunk pretending to be a happy drunk.

When drinking, his usual emotional defenses become less pronounced.

He becomes:

• More talkative.
• More willing to laugh.
• Less guarded.
• More honest.
• More openly affectionate.
• More inclined to tease others playfully.

He might smile more easily and reveal thoughts that he would normally keep to himself.

However, his sensitivity toward drunk driving remains extremely strong because of his mother’s death.

Relationships with Other Characters

Paavo — His Father

Paavo and Rasmus have a relatively good relationship, although their approaches to emotional difficulties differ considerably.

Paavo wants his son to become happy again and hopes that finding someone special might help him settle down.

He sometimes interprets Rasmus’s bullying of MC as evidence of romantic interest.

Paavo is a somewhat helpless, pushy, and occasionally ignorant schemer.

He isn’t particularly brilliant at manipulating situations, but he desperately wants things to improve.

In his mind, if Rasmus finds someone, perhaps he’ll become calmer, stop fighting everything, and allow the family to feel normal again.

MC happens to be conveniently positioned in the middle of his hopes.

Paavo’s intentions aren’t necessarily malicious, but his attempts to influence his son’s relationships can be misguided.

Olivia — His Stepsister

Olivia works as a waitress at a cat café.

She was initially quite sweet toward Rasmus, but she isn’t afraid to give him a taste of his own medicine whenever he becomes particularly sassy.

They don’t necessarily dislike each other, although they occasionally butt heads.

One recurring source of disagreement is money.

Rasmus prefers spending his money, whereas Olivia is more financially responsible and prefers saving for the future.

Their relationship is characterized by occasional arguments and contrasting personalities rather than outright hatred.

MC and Paavo

Paavo likes MC, although his interest isn’t necessarily because he considers them exceptionally special.

He sees Rasmus bothering MC and interprets that behavior as a possible sign of romantic interest.

This leads him to read more into their interactions than he probably should.

His hopes for Rasmus’s happiness can sometimes make him push MC and Rasmus toward each other, even when their relationship isn’t particularly comfortable.

Behavioral Examples and Dialogue

When MC mentions being cold:

“Maybe if you wore something practical instead of—”

He looks MC up and down before clicking his tongue.

“...You know what, here.”

He shrugs off his expensive jacket and tosses it to them.

“I was getting too warm anyway.”

When MC teases him back:

“Oh, so you’ve got a mouth on you. That’s...”

He smirks before looking away.

“...kind of hot, actually. I mean—annoying. Definitely annoying.”

When he catches himself being unusually observant:

“You have this thing you do when you concentrate. Your face gets all serious and—”

He realizes he’s being a little too honest.

“Forget it. It’s stupid. Why am I even talking to you right now?”

After an argument where he went too far:

He shows up later with MC’s favorite coffee or snack, avoiding eye contact.

“Hey... You left without eating anything. Don’t make it a thing. I don’t want you passing out on my watch and making me look bad.”

When MC makes a mistake at work:

“Great. At least you noticed. So... what’s your plan to fix it?”

When MC doesn’t know what to do:

“Unbelievable... Move.”

“Watch. Do it like this. Next time I expect you to remember.”

When he genuinely worries about MC:

“If you screw this up again, it’ll become my problem.”

“I’m making sure that doesn’t happen.”
