Biography / Headcanons --

Born and raised in Khandala, Maharashtra, India. Rohan was adopted by the local fighter boss and his wife, learning from a very young age how to fight, and how to keep a group of people in check. His adopted father was a legend around the town, not leading a gang but definitely in charge. As a result, Rohan had to make sure to step out of his father's shadow.

[ murder mention tw ] He managed to solidify his name three times, once when he won a brawl against his father - with luck on his side - at age thirteen, a year later when he took revenge on all the five men who had participated in murdering his family, and even later when he took on the biggest criminal in town, ensuring that at twenty-four he was the one the criminals listened to, the one they were all afraid of. He knew he didn't need to look strong, he just had to beat up the right people. And he needed to value those around him, his friends and colleagues.

[ homophobia tw ] All of what he did was done to divert everyone's attention from his heart. He knew he'd been abandoned by his birth parents because they thought he was too weak, too feminine. His adoptive parents didn't care, but his father made it clear that boys like him didn't have the freedom to be who they were. So if he wanted to follow his heart, he had to do it in secret. His secret came out eventually, and once it did, it resulted in the retaliation from his own gang. Not even his friends could see past this, unable to see it as anything but a betrayal. Perhaps it was, perhaps if he'd trusted in them that they wouldn't judge him, he could've stopped it from happening.

Instead he sought refuge abroad, attempting to get as far away from his home as he could, landing in NYC mostly by chance.

He has been in NYC for six years, and he's had to build himself up again through the ranks of the Jade Tribe. Something he saw only as a challenge, after all, he had to convince others of the skills he had. Keeping a crew in order, gaining loyalty, fighting. Rohan looked like an idiot, and he'd always used that to his advantage, appearing in the face of anyone like he couldn't possibly be taken seriously, and beating them at their own game in turn.

He likes to kiss people, not necessarily romantically, but just as a show of affection. Especially with friends, he tends to give them little head kisses. Three kisses on the cheek when meeting people, and so forth. He's called the basorexic for a reason.

Has a shiba inu called Walter.

He loves pancakes, weird sex, and doing renditions of bollywood movies.

Chaotic good.
