BPB-26. Frame: Flambeau. Roland is an Ascendant who interprets the will of the Punishing Virus. He will only help them if it benefits him. Roland uses a revolver and a chain blade. Chainblades are special swords that are both chain, and blade.

Ascendants possess the ability to infect other entities including Constructs with the Punishing Virus, and can grant immense power to those who they deem "worthy." While all Ascendants wield this ability, only a few select individuals are chosen by the Ascendant Network to become Agents. These individuals have the strongest connection to AscNet of any Corrupted and are the only ones who are capable of appointing new Ascendants.

In his past, he initially thought he was participating in one as a cast member, secretly managing an android who was tricked into thinking he was human and the show that he is a part of are actually real events. However, Roland later finds out to his horror that he is actually the main character of the show and was secretly being manipulated and trained by the crew to be the perfect actor on live television. This gives him serious trust issues that carry over into his Ascendant existence. He has complicated feelings toward family. He gets destructive when he sees scenes such as family reunions, but he doesn't always act on these emotions, there are times that he actually sends his blessings as well.

He was a commoner born during the Golden Age. There are records of him in the form of old movie posters. He used to appear around the world as an "Ascendant." Formerly an actor during the Golden Age, Roland's words and deeds may seem unpredictable, but his true nature is actually quite serious. As an Ascendant, he has worked around the world. His previous body was severely damaged, and its present form was rebuilt by a benefactor he met. His left arm notably clashes with the rest of his body, with a differing pauldron, visible elbow joint and a hand with red fingertips.

Roland is very good at giving psychological lectures. Many Ascendant wind up turning their back on humanity simply because Roland knows what buttons to push to make people resort to gaining ultimate power via the Punishing Virus, be it for survival, revenge or whatever else. He gives pointed questions about how valuable humans think they are in the long run, given the inherent divide between Constructs and humans.

He once tricked a group of scavengers into entering the corrupted Central Purification Filter 40 in order to feed their emotional responses to the incubating Hetero-Hive Mother. Before long, though, he becomes inwardly disgusted by how he's secretly watching them suffer reminding him of what he himself went through in his past, motivating him to secretly help the survivors escape. He is very serious once he decides on a goal, as he will do anything to see it through. No matter what he will sacrifice or what damage it will do to the world, he will not stop until his goal is achieved. He scoffs at grand narratives, but he does applaud those who still possess a strong will and clear goal after knowing the truth. Of course, that doesn't mean he would help them.

Prior to getting a new frame, he gets heavily damaged, and winds up getting a new body courtesy of The Merciful One. In fact, he gambles on the chance that his pitiful wrecked body will draw her into saving his life. As a test subject for early Constructs, Roland's frame performance was not very impressive. This has led him to hone his reflexes and tactical skills to in order to compensate for it. These experiences have allowed him to utilize his current frame to the fullest and doesn't seem eager to share where he got his current frame from.

He tends look at situations as if they were theatrical performances, even in the middle of a fight, where he considers activating his full power as the climax of the show. Maybe because he used to be an actor, his speech is always melodramatic, even when he is alone. It is as if he lives under a perpetual spotlight with cameras locking on to his every move. He can speak a lot of different languages but not fluently, only some specific words and proverbs. He would sometimes throw out words people don't understand on purpose to rile them up and see how they react. He possesses common sense. He can easily find the flaws in others' logic and criticize them. Even the most perfect people would be left questioning themselves after his verbal assault. He refers to this as finding fault just for the sake of it.

Proficient in popular culture, from music to visual arts and games, he can hold his own in a conversation with experts in those categories. Though he appears to be indifference about these cultures. He is also cultured in literature and plays of the old and present. If asked what's his favorite work, he will give a different answer every day, but "His Own Life" will forever remain the work he detests the most.

Everything Roland does or says always has multiple meanings, but if the other party really cannot pick up on the true meanings, he treats them like children, giving them candy, making funny faces, and even performing magic tricks to amuse them. One must be careful to weed the truth out of his sea of lies. His true intentions, however, will forever remain a mystery.

He is skilled at smiling and can retain his smile in different situations while expressing numerous other emotions. No one knows his true feelings when he slips on his mask of a smile. A method actor who has mastered the skill to talk to "himself." He is always found talking to himself even with others around, making it hard for others to know for sure if he's making fun of them or just engrossed in his conversations with himself.

He cares about his appearance, and everything he wears has been elaborately planned, but his fashion senses are somewhat different from normal people's. If required, he is very willing to help others dress. He is skilled in arts and crafts, and his real hobby is making hand puppets and plush toys. One may be able to catch a glimpse of his true self from these furry little actors he makes.
