Can anyone friend you? yep!
A fun fact about you (or a stupid gif): Fun fact - this picture is, for Roland's canon, official art.



The fact that this picture is canon says a lot about the Dark Tower series. Some of the other official art is even more incredible, but this one has a certain charm to it. Roland's greatest challenge yet: surviving his new life as the protag of an '80s action movie.

Character Name: Roland Deschain
Character Fandom: The Dark Tower
Basic personality: He's very practical, very to the point, won't go out of his way to be rude to people but neither will he try to be too polite, especially if someone ticks him off. He doesn't do well without close friends, although as is he's been alone for 1-2 decades (time frame depending on how you interpret canon). The traits he admires most in people is competence and dedication, so even if your character annoys the fuck out of him (like his childhood best friend did), if your character has those traits in some capacity Roland might decide there's something worthwhile in them.
What has happened to them recently?: He was made to choose between saving the life of a boy who trusted him and finally getting the next piece of info regarding how to complete his life's obsession quest. Fairly shortly after the boy died, he ended up with the Legion.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR, or other things to note about this character: I think I arrived too late for me to get my ducks in a row on Rimborian Job plot (although if anyone does happen to need another character for anything feel free to let me know), but he's about to need help designing his superhero outfit so that's going to be a network post at some point soon. He will also be needing guns with nonlethal effects; he won't be super pleased about leaving his big special family guns behind in fights, but if he's going to fight he's going to need something. So anyone who would have anything at all to say about those two subjects are welcome.

He might be weird around children for a while, given the experience he's just come from that I mentioned above. I haven't entirely figured out how so yet, his first instinct would be to avoid them so he doesn't feel The Guilt, but finding situations where that wouldn't be an option could be fun, if anyone with child characters wanted CR, especially because when he's in a better place in his life he does have a tendency to dad.

Silly, talkative characters are fun because Roland is very much not that, and tends to get irritated by that fairly easily. Warrior type characters would also be interesting, he could always use some soldier solidarity or whatever. I don't say all this to limit anyone, though, I just specify because specifics are more helpful than just saying 'anyone is welcome!' even though everyone is. I'm interested in seeing how he'd interact with any type of character, so if you're up for talking about what sort of setting/situation would be fun for their personalities, hit me up!
