Okay, first I want to say that Rizzen and I are good friends, so anything bad I say about him, I'm probably only joking. If you read that first story he posted, or talked to him in game about me, you might get the idea he friggin' hates me. This is only in game. We're actually really good friends, even though we're total opposites. It's like a bad 80's sitcom.... or Rita and Runt, but we're not animals and gender reversed. Anyhow, I was prodding him into writing a little blurb about himself and he had no real interest. "My nonfictional existence is so utter dull." were his exact words.
Which brings me to my subject line. Rizzen's not meant to be in this time period. He was obviously supposed to be in the early 1900's, but someone screwed up somewhere. Even though I tell him this all the time, I think he thinks I'm kidding. Rizzen's talks in a way so you'd think he was a pompous ass. He's not. He's not trying to sound fancy or sophisticated, that's just how he talks. If he were in the time he was supposed to be in, he'd be chillin' with Oscar Wilde, I'm convinced.
Which brings me to my next point. The guy really enjoyed writing. Although, he claims he's not great at the actually flushing out of the story, he obviously is pretty proud of his "screenwriting". Like, he really likes his plot outlines and stuff, but has some trouble actually turning that into a story. So he claims. I really love his writing.
Rizzen's also a professional beatboxer. He enters national competitions and stuff. Well, okay, that's completely false, but that'd be awesome right? Rizzen, if you're reading this, look into Beatboxing lessons.
Rizzen's also got a really dry sense of humor. In today's world, he has trouble finding comedy stuff he likes. Family Guy, South Park, Always Sunny, stuff like that doesn't really appeal to him. So, he's forced to entertain himself, and he does so really well. Although I don't often like making myself look like an idiot (as often as I do it anyway), I just know he's cracking jokes sometimes, but I just can't be sure. They just roll off his tongue so it sounds perfectly natural, but then you double take when what he said actually sinks in. He's a little closed off to new people as a lot of the people he meets brush him off as being the pompous ass he so totally sounds like, so give him some time to get to know you.
Not to worry, though, even though he's got very little electronic entertainment, he's a book fiend. He'll try to read anything at least once.
So, the point of all this is that Rizzen's not an ass, even though he sounds and acts like one. He's actually really funny and ridiculously charming when he wants to be. He's not afraid to say whatever he's thinking, but not in that socially awkward sort of way. He says "If I don't allow myself to express what I'm feeling, I'm denying my very being." A time traveler, that guy, I'm telling you. And while, he'd probably never come out and say it, he LOVES RPing and he's really good at thinking on his feet, improv-like. I think he feels more at home when no one bats an eye at his talking. So, if you see him around town, chat him up, he'll go for it like a gay squirrel to nuts.
....Sorry about that last part. _________________ I have no idea what you are talking about.
