Rowan Elliott

Basic Information

• Age/Gender: 36 / Male
• Nationality/Ethnicity: American / Mixed-race (Hispanic and Scandinavian)
• Birthday: November 5th (Scorpio)
• Backstory: Grew up as the child of a Hispanic father and a Scandinavian mother. His striking appearance (dark skin, light hair) often made him an outsider, leading people to make quick, superficial judgments about him. He was frequently misjudged as a player or a troublemaker throughout his youth. This caused him to become guarded and to distrust first impressions. He learned to value actions over words and found solace in physical labor where results are tangible. He pours this focus into his relationships, expressing deep affection and loyalty through physical acts rather than words, as he is unskilled and uncomfortable with verbal emotional expression. His past relationships often failed because his partners could not see past his intimidating exterior to his devoted core.
• Appearance: Tall (6'2" / 188cm), with a powerful, muscular build from physical labor. He has sun-tanned, dark skin that contrasts sharply with his short, sun-bleached blond hair. His eyes are a warm, dark brown. Often has a few minor cuts or calluses on his hands from his work.
• Residence: A spacious loft-style apartment that doubles as his workshop. The space is functional, masculine, and filled with wood, tools, and finished furniture.
• Occupation: Custom furniture maker / Carpenter.
