Player Name: Jack / Higu
Character: Rome
Name: Romulus Vargas

Tall and broad shouldered, with the thick, dark hair and muscular physique of a man half his age, Romulus's presence seems to ooze power. Whether that comes from the strength in his frame, the wealth shown by his choice of clothing or the seductive glint in his dark eyes depends on who you ask, but nevertheless he is a man who looks every inch a leader.
Personality: Romulus is a social creature, truly in his element when he's surrounded by others. He tries his hardest to be everyone's friend, regardless of how much they might protest. This assumed friendship can get a little baffling at times, especially when he shows up unannounced at the worst possible time and expects exceptional hospitality.
He has a wild edge, loving to cause a little chaos and then vanish when retribution comes his way. Especially if he's had a few drinks.
He can become serious when needs be though, particularly around his major passions. Wine, Women, Singing and Fighting. Stop him from indulging in any of the first three and you're volunteering yourself for the fourth.
He has a great deal of overconfidence, created out of a lifetime of being a seemingly untouchable crime lord. He stands firm in the belief that there is no enemy he can't either beat in a straight fight, buy out or have his associates handle quickly and quietly.
AU History: The only son of an influential mob Capo, Romulus was the latest in a long line of professional criminals that stretched back into the history of earth. He was an unwanted child, and had his father not been the target of an assassination when Romulus was still an infant, his life might have been filled with hardship. As it was he was adopted by the don of the family, his great uncle, who taught the boy an important lesson early in life.
"Work Hard. Play Hard."
Romulus was raised to fill his fathers role, working hard at the lowliest of jobs and upwards until he became one of the most respected and feared men in the colony. In his downtime he was shown the glories of his family's lifestyle: Fantastic parties, beautiful women, wealth and abuse of power beyong most people's imagination. It was during his teen years that he discovered his talent for lounge singing, often entertaining guests and representatives from other powerful families.
It was also during this time that he met his future wife, an up-and-coming actress from Earth who was trying to make it big out in the colonies. When both she and Romulus were 23, she became pregnant, a hurried marriage taking place before the birth of their first and only daughter.
A year later, she ran off with a fellow actor, a blow to Romulus' pride that still stings to this day. He doted on his daughter as much as he could, attempting to be the model father in between working. He always made time for her, even when the Don fell ill and passed away, announcing Romulus as the new head of the family before he did so.
At seventeen, his daughter became pregnant, refusing to give him the name of the child's father. For once in his life, Romulus gave up on the decadence of his life to focus entirely on his family, making sure his daughter was well cared for (And sending out every spy he knew to find out who the father might be).
She gave birth to twin boys before passing away, leaving Romulus in a state of utter despair for months. When he recovered, he attempted to juggle the demands of caring for his grandchildren with that of caring for his empire. Finding he couldn't do it all, he left Lovino in the care of his most trusted men, inisisting that he understand the duties that came with the family name. He, meanwhile, cared for Feliciano, taking a much softer approach, teaching him all he knew of the world of culinary art. He told his grandson nothing of his true work, trusting that the appropriate time would come when he was older.
Romulus' plan had secretly been for Lovino to inherit the family business once he was gone, but with the boys departure, that plan appears to have gone down the drain.
In recent years, Romulus has wandered away from the old stomping grounds. He claims that the day-to-day running of such a vast enterprise has proven too much for him and he wishes to keep his dignity, living out his last years away from the rest of the family. In reality, he doesn't plan on dying just yet. Rather, he plans to take a holiday, exploring the galaxy and getting back in touch with his decadent side, and maybe his grandchildren too if he bumps into them.
Equipment: Expensive suits and jewellery (He never goes ANYWHERE without looking at least ten times more overdressed than the next man), Crucifix (While in private his family had revitalised the tradition of ancestor worship as well as recognising ancient pagan deities, their public face sided with catholocism), Silenced Pistol, Plenty of money, Youth-Chems (A chemical substance that slows down the ageing process immensely, as well as keeping muscles from atrophying. Romulus has been taking these since his late thirties, but claims he doesn't age because of a "Good Diet"), and plenty of favours spread about the galaxy that he can call in.
((Hope everything is ok with that! If any changes need to be made: Let me know and I'll leap right on it!))
EDIT: Noodles!
