Physical Description

An imposing figure even for a Kulshedra and an Aedolian, Rose is an absolute behemoth of a man. He stands well above the height of the average citizen and is heavily built to match. Being a Kulshedra, his skin is covered in scales in many of the expected positions- his neck, arms, cheeks, and legs (for reasons that will be explained later, he is missing the usual "gem" of scales and there aren't any scales on most of his upper torso). True to his name, these scales he does still have are coloured a light reddish-pink. His black hair is kept long and often a bit on the messy side, although he'll usually at least take the time to tie some of it back. There is a single (but thick) pink streak running down the middle of his hair, matching the colour of his scales.

It's pretty clear that Rose has had plenty of close calls with danger and even death- many parts of his body are covered or reinforced with metal plates, or have been replaced entirely due to sustaining some particularly grievous injuries over the years. At first glance, the most obvious of these would be his lower jaw and tail. The lower jaw appears to be more or less entirely metallic, with teeth being replaced to match, which can be unsettling or even frightening for those who aren't used to seeing it (not that he cares too much). His tail has been replaced with one built from plates that can slide in and out- in situations where the tail is inconvenient (such as riding a dragon), the plates can slide inwards to reduce the amount of space that the tail takes up. Similar plates can be seen covering his upper torso as well as the backs of his arms, although most of these are considerably less mobile. In the spot where his "gem cluster" would normally be, a rose quartz crystal is socketed into the metal in its place.

Personality

Rose is a person who has seen and been through a lot of shit, and as a result, it's become extremely difficult to get him to lose his cool. Very few things faze him at this point- most insults or other verbal jabs glance straight off of him about as easily as physical blows do (although he's certainly willing to respond with a few teasing jabs of his own when appropriate), and he's very good at remaining grounded and focused in high-pressure situations. He takes pride in being the kind of guy that people can anchor themselves to in stressful times. It makes him happy to help take the load off of someone else when he can.

Rose possesses a very powerful protective instinct, which is something that has only grown stronger since becoming a father. There is very little you could do to him personally that would upset him too much- what hurts him the most by far is watching someone he cares for hurting. He is more than willing to throw himself into danger in order to protect others, and as evidenced from his appearance, he already has. Several times. In fact, it's extremely fortunate that he possesses his particular set of psionics, because it's highly unlikely he would still be alive today if it weren't for them.

Notes

- As a result of all of his metallic bits, mechanical whirrs and clicks can often be heard when he moves around.
- Likes to paint his nails- an activity he did often with his daughter when she was a kid. He paints them a similar colour to his scales.
- Loves terrible jokes and puns.

Abilities

Flyrokinesis- The psionic creation and manipulation of force fields. Rose's force fields are capable of taking heavy beatings, but they're difficult to shape or push too far away from himself. As a result, he uses this ability mainly defensively. His responsibilities as a squad member strongly revolve around this ability- he uses it to get people out of dangerous areas safely, protect the injured until the rest of the squad can get to them, and keep the squad safe while they work.

Telepathy- Decent enough for him to be able to do his job properly.

Aside from that, well, Rose is a tank. He is more than capable of taking some heavy hits even without his psionics, and will absolutely do so if necessary. He also hits like a truck- definitely not the kind of person you want to find yourself facing in close-quarters combat.

Relationships

Violet- Rose's adopted daughter. He raised her from a very young age and they were originally very close, although she grew increasingly frustrated with Rose's overprotectiveness which eventually caused a rift in their relationship. They started working on rebuilding their relationship after the war ended, and are now once again on friendly terms, but it's unlikely that they'll ever be as close as they once were.

Donna- A long-time and close friend. They've bonded closely over their similarities (both physical and otherwise) and Rose makes sure to visit when he gets the chance- and hey, as a bonus, she always makes excellent food! She's probably one of the few people who knows what his "true" name is.

Amristah Angels- His squad. He'd easily take a bullet for any of them, although he gets the feeling that Blu doesn't like him all that much. It's not something that bothers him too much, though.
