(http://www.annexmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/JamesFranco.jpg)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Rome stands at 6'3 with an impressive build to match. His hair is jet black and his smile is capturing. Well, at least when he's in public. When his true nature is revealed, his face is a constant scowl and a reminder to all that he is the one that holds the power.</span>(See here: Extensive Devination Symbols Tattoo. (http://www.design-moderne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Arm-and-Shoulder-tattoo-Designs-for-men.jpeg))<br/><br/><strong>in my heart of hearts</strong>:<br/><br/>(As a Professor):<br/><br/>Charming:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">There is no one that can resist his smile when he flashes at directly at you, nor could anyone ignore how smoothely his words are strung together. He seems to have a mysterious ability to captivate his audience, something that helped his teaching career as short as it is. It doesn't do too bad for him when he needs to get what he wants either. <br/></span><br/>Daring:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">He is not a man for caution, always loving to take risks. If something is too dangerous to attempt, he would volounteer. It's a hint of arrogence with a whole pile of confidence that has him ready to dive into any new experience, and makes him a very hands on professor. </span><br/><br/>Mysterious:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Outside of the classroom, no one really knows much about Rome. All people know that he resides somewhere on the grounds, and no one has ever been inside his room. If someone wants to meet with him, the only chance they get is when he is teaching or roaming the grounds. Outside of the castle, nothing is known.</span><br/><br/>Selective:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">He has a habit of favoring students and teachers who match his witt or have an affinity for spells. Being a Professor teaching about the Dark Arts, he is very fond of anyone who can match him in a duel as well, and can keep up with the spells he knows and even invents. <br/></span><br/>(As The Young Lord)<br/><br/>Intolerant:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">When it comes to mistakes, he will rarely give second chances. He demands perfection and loyalty even at the cost of his subordinates lives. Many have met their end because they disobeyed or did not take into consideration how immensely powerful he actually is.<br/></span><br/>Easy to anger:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">A trait inherited by his father, no doubt, it does not take much to anger Rome. He does not always display it, or broadcast it in yells, but the slightest word out of place can produce a cold stare from him that would freeze anyone who looked at him in place, and warn them that another letter misspoken would result in severe punishment.</span><br/><br/>Sadistic:<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">The trait inherited from his mother, he's fond of the art of torture. The Cruciatus curse seemed...dated, for him, so he improved upon it by having molten chains bind you to the ground and burn through your skin as the original effect of the curse takes place. This also became his favorite spell to use as a means of discipline. </span><br/><br/><strong>my dark past:</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Rome is the son of Bellatrix Lestrange and Tom Marvello Riddle. Yes, you read that correctly. Before everything happened, before the war and the end of Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix had the honors and painful experience of copulating with Lord Voldemort to produce him an heir. This matter was utterly secret, and the only one to know about it was Voldemort and Bellatrix herself. Before the actual war, Bellatrix vanished for a few months and secretly gave birth to Voldemort's child in an abandoned cabin by the edges of the Dark Forest. Rome was told that his birth was so excruciatingly painful, that his mother cast killing curses on all the aids helping to birth the child out of pure insanity and pain. As an infant, he was quickly shipped off to the Ukraine and the memory of him erased from Bellatrix's mind in fear of her blurting it out. Rome spent his entire life in Svetlana Alexeyev's coven, his existence completely hidden from the world. He was told his heritage, and it seemed that a part of his father held itself within his child. He was not a Horcrux, but the hold of a father's corruption is much stronger. He was taught how to kill, torture, and at the age of seven he was already skilled enough to out-cast and murder everyone in the coven...except 'her'. Everything from there on out remains unknown, all that is confirmed is that several years later he showed up to Dragonsclaw university, graduated with honors, and took the position of Defense against the Dark Arts professor. </span>
