Roque
"The duty of a strong man is to protect the weak."
- James Fenimore Cooper
| Overview
|
|
As a former agent with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Roque has prior military officer (US Army). Whether he’s of Latin or Greek ancestry is a bit of a discussion, preferably over coffee.
He’s gained a bit of a reputation (depending on who you ask) as either: an idealist with a Colombo-like ability to reconstruct a crime scene, a bit of a press-hounding showboat, or as a fanatic who gets people killed.
Nonetheless, he’s survived several assassination attempts, and a couple of court cases against him (which fell apart, quite publicly.)
It may be a matter of time before his luck runs out, but until then, he continues to work, continues to open his mouth, and try to look good to the press doing it.

| Interests

Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.
- Crime - He was a detective for the state police. Maybe he can help.
- Vigilante? - Fanatical murder tourist to some (Did he actually kill anyone?), Wannabe Wyatt Earp to others. (Did he actually catch anyone?)
- Video games - He does in fact like them. Seriously, so does the world! And he has a smartphone he spends too much time on.
- Guns - He likes to shoot – he’s not likely to rail on about the specifics of one brand of gun over another – unless there is a real functional difference. You might find him on the range.
- Politics - He is a military veteran who served in the contingency operations. He’s no commando, but he saw enough to have ideas on how things work and why… Or at least THINK he knows.
- Hunting - He’s actually been learning how to do that and clean game…. And he still gets queasy talking about it – but over a heavily flavored coffee, he’ll talk about it.
- Church - He absolutely attends Mass. All this has to mean /something/... And he probably needs all the help he can get.

- Morgance - Just such an example of a politician. Doesn't really know the good guys from the bad guys... Maybe doesn't care.
- Creighton Clark - Even slimier. I shouldn't judge too harshly, I suppose. What's a war crime or two amongst friends?
- Haakon - An EXCELLENT Viking. Raids homes and kills children with the best of them! Even knows how to use a baby as a human shield. Ragnar would be proud.
- Aideen - You may someday understand what I stand for. We might have more in common than you think.
- Drew - Courage and Honor. I may not agree that your methods are enough - but you have shown courage, honor, and the willingness to seek justice. They tried to erase us. It won't happen. "Soldiers" - Otherwise
- Tiva Little Owl - Still haven't figured out if you're Billy the Kid or Jesse James. Perhaps the Regulators are due for a revival.
- Matiz - Heroic Homewrecker! I suppose he's not the first womanizing hero. Died a hero. That means something. Even Lancelot had a sex scandal.
- Josie - Sweetest Homewrecker! Seriously, you do so many nice and helpful things, and are so pleasant, that no one can stay mad at you.
- Ben - Hotheaded Homewrecker! Stays mad at everyone. All the time. Chicks dig bad boys - that's why your Child Support bill is about to get interesting. At least you've got courage.
- Lilith - You can do a lot more than you think you can. I look forward to seeing you step out into the spotlight.
- Eden - So... the sister who fights the ex over the inheritance? I'll get the popcorn. Hmm... Honestly, you did better than people give you credit for. You went through a lot that week, losing your brother AND your lover. Yeah, you can be weird, but you're still one of us.
- Jess - Taught me the manly art of hunting. I guess I'll always owe you for that one, and for other things. Some things transcend time. I'm sorry about a lot of things, but not everything. I have plenty to say - but the void is not the place for my words to go. "Sound of Silence" - Disturbed
- Harper - Beautiful, sexual... and somehow not sexy. How did you manage that? No matter - I think you will become great, despite your family's best efforts. Your Lady will teach you well.
- Katiya - She understands the feelings of some of the victims, and is willing to say something about it, when it helps her. She’s also leveraging (raising?) it for self-promotion (promoted!). She uses her assets. Respect the hustle. (The fact that she's good looking has absolutely nooothing to do with it... of course).
- Dean Olsen - The OTHER Blue Falcon made flesh. Look, I get it. Big, Bad, Strong, MMA. Seriously, people have developed weapons.... But... you protect kids. (They are impressionable enough to drive the bus for you...)
- Babatunde - Getting run over by that bus hurts, doesn't it? I really am sorry that it was your own family driving it. I may be a pain in the ass, but at least I'm your /loyal/ pain in the ass.
- Gigi - Associate and Partner against crime... I know what happened. Someday, you'll get justice.
- Ajay - ...and someday, you might /face/ justice. I thought you might be a step up above the others - but then I saw your real work...
- Aria - You sing of tragedies. I can point you to more. And for your boyfriend... Chicks dig bad boys. Well, at LEAST make a good song of it! (Seriously... He shot a woman and pushed her off a bridge... The dude's a villain!)
- Brenyn - A tragic life - for which you have only learned to create more tragedies. You could be so much greater - you /choose/ to be no better than your enemy. There is no excuse.
- Jordan - Still don't know how I wronged you, but sometimes it's just like that.
- Friedrich - I stood up for you. I tried to help you. You could have been free. Instead, you let me down and betrayed us all. You can get almost any woman you want. No way /she's/ worth /this/ much.
- Summer - You're neat! The novelty is strong with you!
- Avriel - I hope you are what you seem to be. If so, you might be braver than me.
- Andrew - You know so much. You can do so much more with it. I still want to help you. I don't judge you too harshly for your quirks. I have my own.
- Spamber - How can someone so crazy and so gross still somehow manage to be cute and pleasant?
