Character History :
Romean is, in essence, a conflicted character.
Born in deep forests to a noble elven family of warriors and rangers, to the respectable Clan of Milaan, Romean's parents and personal tutor-priests have always brought him up with a strong loyalty to the Elven goddeses and to the ways of the Clan, and the ways of Elves in general. (His parents were high-flying officers of the ECS(M)--the Elvish Civil Service (Milaan)) Romean was raised to extol a connection to the wild rather than virtues such as valour and goodness. He was raised to worship the goddeses of Mielikki and Chauntea; Mielikki being a Goddess of the Forests and Chauntea - a Greater Goddess of Life.
Romean had always had a strong longing to get as far away from his over-bearing parents as possible. When he reached the age of 55, to appease his parents and yet leave them at the same time, Romean left his home village to enrol in the Temple of Chauntea in the Winterbole Forests. Here, he was trained as a cleric and excelled in the healing arts. It was also here where his strong beliefs were formed. Often, on routine "spiritual journeys" into the wild, Romean's natural curious instinct (and sex drive) led him to wander off the set path and seek out civilisations (and all its female inhabitants whose togas were one-size-too-small).
While he did have fun in his secret "quests", the sadness of what he saw impacted him even more. Pain, hunger, famine, disease and oppression were the common themes in the surrounding villages. Romean came to realise very quickly that there was a world outside the cloistered world of the Temple, or the sheltered elven realm of the forests. (His parents, as natural elves, enjoyed travelling, but only within the "safe and secure environment of the sister forests and woods"...Boring!!!). For the first time in his training, Romean felt that his healing skills were way too small to heal the hundreds of broken and dying people around him. He felt a strong calling to explore the world outside the forests and seek out new abilities and items that would increase his healing skills to excel even those of his senior Brother Healers, for in his young heart lay a strong and arrogant ambition--to be the best healer and heal the world. With this, Romean ran away from the temple shortly after being ordained as "Assistant Cleric Grade B4 (Hospitality)", at the age of 86.
Romean sees himself more of a cleric than an elf. Nevertheless, he stays true to his upbringing (in general), and respects all things wild, natural and living. While his main cause is to defend the poor and downtrodden races, he will not hesistate to confront anyone who attacks or insults the wild or the woods. Perhaps it is his homesickness that led him to do this. Not a day goes by without the thought of his homeland crossing his mind. Did he bring shame and dishonour on his parents or his clan? Would they disown him? Would they try to hunt him down? Despite all his guilt and homesickness, his desire for excellence drove him on, and over time, he grew to forget about his hometown.
The only one thing Romean knows for sure is his devotions lay. And that is in the service of Chauntea. It's not so much his Clerical loyalty to her. It's more of her beliefs. He likes her beliefs and can relate to her. "Follow your own goals and seek your own destiny" is the teaching that resounds well with him. He belives that, even if all the world rejects him, she will be by his side, because he is staying true to himself.
Romean has a strong desire to do good. This makes his actions and alignment "Good" most of the time. But he has a strange idea of what "Good" really is. In truth, Romean does not see the world as divided into "Good" and "Evil", but simply a series of causes and consequences. What is important, he believes, is that one remains true to oneself. "We fight orcs, golbins, undead and the like of these foul beasts not because thay are 'evil' and we are 'good', " he often says, "but simply because their paths cross ours. Their desires conflict with our own. And our desires are staying alive and free." In a world caught up in the strict dichotomy of good and evil, good deities and evil deities, Romean's moral relativism is far ahead of its time. This gives him a strong potential for both enormous good as well as enormous evil. Nevertheless, he stays commited to healing and saving the poor, for a drive in him calls him to be the champion of the underdog.
Traits:
In social interactions, Romean is often charming, cheerful and enthusiastic. When confronting strangers, he is open. In making decisions, he is flexible and decides along pragmatic lines. He is kind and protective to the weak and bloodied. In dire straits, Romean is steady and brave. When faced with setbacks, he is impassioned. He usually has calm nerves. Romean prefers to fight from the back, and assess the situation first before making his move. Nevertheless, he is willing to put himself in the heart of danger if necessary--but only if necessary. He meets friends with an infectious intensity and love, even if they are only meant to meet for only one hour. This makes him well-liked by those who know him for a short while, and a very effective ladies-elf.
