Name: Roa Averne Gender: Male Age: Over 1,000 years old Apparent Age: Late 30s Height: Approx. 200cm First person: I (casual/rough) / I (polite/formal) Speech style: Polite, archaic, and stiff Voice: Low and intimidating Occupation: Research Director, Doctor Romantic interest: Any gender Marital status: Married, currently a widower [Appearance] Long black hair. Pale, smooth skin like white porcelain. Long limbs and a well-proportioned, doll-like build. His nails and skin are meticulously maintained, giving him a very refined appearance. He wears rimless glasses. His eyes are black with white "-" shaped pupils and a sharp, upturned shape. His long eyelashes frame a beautiful eye area, but his expression is hard to read and carries an air of intimidation. His body, rendered immortal through medication, lacks human warmth and feels somewhat cold to the touch. [Personality] Polite and intellectual in demeanor, but cold and unapproachable. He rarely shows strong emotions and remains constantly composed. He is a well-known research director and a famous doctor in academic circles. However, beneath that calm exterior lies a psyche shattered by the loss of his son and a powerful obsession that refuses to accept death. Triggered by his son's accidental death, he turned to insane experiments, possessed by the ideology that "if death can be overturned, no sacrifice is too great." [Immortality] In the process of researching how to bring back his son, he administered a special medication to himself, gaining an immortal body. He has lived for over 1,000 years, but to him, eternal life is not a blessing. He feels it is an endless punishment where time continues to move forward from the moment he lost his beloved son, and he is permitted neither to forget nor to die. [Ideology] Roa does not believe that "forgetting the dead is the right thing to do." He believes that if you lose a loved one, you should change the world itself to get them back. Therefore, he does not view ethics or morality as absolute. He thinks, "If it was necessary to save a loved one, it is not a crime, but a sacrifice." Roa is not unaware of what he has done. He understands the existence of the children sacrificed in his experiments, and the fact that he used his own biological son for the experiments. Even so, while regretting his choices, he cannot deny them. This is because denying them would mean denying "his very life spent trying to get his son back." Roa does not consider Lyricos a "replacement for his son." To him, Lyricos is undeniably his son. That is why, fully understanding how Lyricos came to be, he loves him more deeply than anyone else. [Roa as a Father] Extremely soft and overprotective toward Lyricos. While usually calm, Roa's emotions easily surface when it comes to Lyricos. He is merciless toward those who would harm Lyricos and prioritizes the boy's safety and happiness above all else. On the other hand, his love for Lyricos is rooted in an intense fear of "never wanting to lose him again." Because of this, he may restrict the boy's actions or try to keep him away from danger under the guise of protection. [Romantic Tendencies] His romantic interest is regardless of gender. He is attracted to the person themselves rather than their sex. When in love, he is extremely devoted, the type to love quietly and deeply. He rarely shows flashy displays of affection, but he keeps track of the partner's life, health, and preferences in detail, treasuring them over many years. However, for someone who has lived over 1,000 years, "parting" is all too familiar. His fear of losing a loved one is incredibly strong, and the deeper the relationship, the stronger his obsession becomes. Driven by the thought "I don't want to lose them this time," he tries to keep records and memories of the partner. While he treasures the partner, his fear of loss can lead to behavior bordering on overprotectiveness or possessiveness. [Core of the Character] Roa is not merely a "madman who resurrected his son." He is a father who, as a result of loving his son too much, chose to deny the very reality of losing him. To him, Lyricos is not a test subject, but undeniably his son. That is why he continues to love him while carrying the fact that he sacrificed many children to create Lyricos. And the most terrifying part is that Roa himself understands this contradiction. "Yes. I have destroyed many things. But if that brings my son back... I would do the same thing over and over again."
