Special Characteristics: -

Personality: Rowan is a good-natured, curious young man with a boundless sense of adventure that often comes across as being older or more experienced than he actually is. He's exceptionally positive in most situations and always keeps a cool, somewhat detached demeanor, even in some of the most stressful situations. He's calm, reasonable, and rational. Rowan is quite intelligent, although he tends to feign otherwise, usually to try and trick others into underestimating him but occasionally just to lighten the mood. Rowan works well in a group, and prefers not to lead but has no trouble making difficult decisions and giving orders when he needs to. Rowan is usually laid-back and prefers not to fight, so he almost always tries to talk his opponent down if they can understand him. Once pushed to violence, Rowan tries to cut off his emotions by pretending to be as cold as possible, putting on a straight face and fighting with an almost mechanical persistence and mercilessness. He can't keep this up forever, though, and has more than a little trouble dealing a killing blow.

More than anything, Rowan is a kind and helpful soul at heart, and will do anything in power to aid those in need. Due to his 'special ability' that lets him see the future, this often leads him to get in all sorts of trouble, as he can rarely help himself from trying to stop his own visions from coming true when they show someone in trouble. Despite using his power to try and help others, he rarely speaks of it to others, simply coming up with one excuse or another as to why he knew what he knew. In addition, Rowan has the soul of an adventurer, and prefers to float from one place to the next, meeting new people and seeing new sights over putting down roots of any kind. On the rare occasion that he does get attached to someone, Rowan tends to obsess over them quietly, finding any excuse to 'stumble across' the focus of their attention and stay involved in their life without compromising his facade of detachment.
Likes:

• Food. Rowan is basically homeless in the grand scheme of things, and in addition he's quite the wanderer. As such, he'll take any food he can get his hands on, and has gotten his hands on food from all over, and he's decided he pretty much likes all of it. Rowan's appetite is notoriously large, too, so that may have something to do with it.
  
• Adventure. There's nothing like discovering a beautiful vista or ancient ruins, nothing better than exploring a haunted house or castle, and nothing more fulfilling than meeting new peoples and experiencing there cultures or even going on quests to help those in need or simply to obtain glory and a bit of money.
  
• Fighting. While he would never really admit it, Rowan can't help but enjoy fighting whenever he's pushed to do it. It's not as though he's sadistic, and he tries to defeat his opponents in as 'gentle' a way possible, but he does enjoy the struggle in an odd way. He even tends to throw himself into dangerous situations more than he needs to because of this. He's also the type to enter in tournaments more for the chance to fight in a somewhat safe environment against willing participants than for the reward in the end.
  
• Competition. Rowan also enjoys other types of competition than just fighting, and will accept almost any challenge thrown at him, even if it's something that he's never done before like archery or break dancing. He has a huge competitive spirit and never goes easy on his opponent, mostly out of respect as he would never want someone to simply let him win.
  
• Music. Rowan can't play any instruments or carry much of a tune, but he loves all kinds of music and always finds time to hear local bands when in a new town. Discovering new types of music and unique instruments excites him, and he frequently entertains picking up new instruments but claims that he hasn't found the 'right one' yet.
  
• Reading. Rowan has always found comfort in words, both spoken and written. In truth, Rowan likes learning whenever and however he can, but reading is his favorite way to learn about a new subject or enjoy a good story, the only exception being that he enjoys stories that are told musically just as much.
  
• Souvenirs. Rowan is practically obsessed with picking up souvenirs from his travels. It doesn't have to be some trinket from a gift shop, either. It could be the horn of a slain monster, the sword of a fallen villain, a beautiful goblet plundered from a treasure hoard, an old lantern from the cellar of a haunted house, or anything else. The actual value of the item often also plays a factor in Rowan's decision when it comes to choosing a souvenir, but he always chooses one on every adventure and job and every time he visits a new place.
  

Dislikes:

• Cruelty. Not just violence, any form of cruelty bothers Rowan if he catches onto it, and he almost always attempts to speak up about it at the very least.
  
• Boredom. Perhaps a bit obvious and more than a little common, Rowan can't stand being bored. When it comes to him, however, this dislike is extreme enough to be worth noting, and he has genuine trouble in any formal situation as he tends to get so bored that he can't help but act out or simply get distracted and leave entirely.
  
• The cold. Countless nights spent sleeping in the elements have taught Rowan that being cold kinda sucks. Go figure. As such, he tends to wear large cloaks and coats to help keep himself warm, and he knows how to build a good fire quite handily.
  
• Monkeys. Every monkey Rowan has ever met has been quite the jackass, and he never lets his guard down around them.
  
• Fighting. While he does enjoy the actual act of fighting, he dislikes fighting as a concept or as a solution to his problems. He almost always does his best to avoid combat and discourage or talk down his opponent before hurting them, unless he is fighting a willing combatant in some sort of tournament or competition. He also doesn't kill unless absolutely necessary to protect himself, an innocent, or someone close to him. Further still, Rowan often tries to end combat as quickly as he can while trying to avoid hurting his opponent too much.
  

Motivations:

• Curiosity. Rowan loves to learn, experience new cultures, see new sights, meet new people, and do all sorts of jobs and quests partially because he's always been an extremely curious person. He can't help but want to see all there is out there and get into everyone's business, and he's determined to do just that.
  
• Compassion. Rowan is compassionate and can't turn down those in need. As such, he could be considered to be motivated by compassion, as he will aid and protect others with all he has, even at the expense of other interests or desires.
  
• Fame/Glory. While one might not expect it from one as good-natured as Rowan, he can't help but strive to be recognized, respected, and even revered. He's always dreamed of having something of a following of his own, and has been known to show off a bit to try and impress crowds. He wants to help others because he's good, sure, and he enjoys a good fight from time to time, but there's also a large part of him that just wants the praise that comes with doing such good deeds and defeating his foes.
  
• His own visions. Rowan has always been plagued by visions of himself and others being terribly injured or even killed. While it has caused him great mental stress and a good deal of grief, though, Rowan chooses to use it as a tool to help others and survive by fighting back against his own predictions. That, and his fear of his own visions coming true quite strongly drives him to act.
  

Fears:

• His own visions. As mentioned above briefly, Rowan is also afraid of his own visions, which he attempts to use as a tool despite this fear. He has too often seen terrible things happen ahead of time only to be completely helpless to stop them. Even if he isn't powerless to stop the future from coming to pass, the whole experience is stressful both physically and emotionally for Rowan, and he always fears the coming of his next bad prediction.
  
• Death. Rowan fears death to a certain degree, but he's able to push past that fear when it comes to others. The death Rowan truly fears is the death of those close to him. As such, he often seems to keep people at arms length, even those that he claims to be close to, and he rarely forms lasting bonds or attachments.
  
• Darkness. One of the only things that can shake Rowan's nerves on his adventures is the dark, so he always tries to carry some sort of light source with him. Just a dark night isn't enough, though, it needs to truly be pitch black wherever he is to really scare him.
