NAME: Rollan
AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 29, Male, Man, from Dale
APPEARANCE (very brief physical description/or as detailed as the player wishes to be): Darkish hair, brown eyes, nothing special to look at until you get to know him (you know the type). Nearly always has a smile on his face; wears age makeup very well.
BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER
(again, as brief or detailed as you wish): Rollan was always a bit of a prankster/trickster growing up, and only avoided becoming a serious troublemaker when a clever relative got him to direct his energy to the theatric way of making people laugh--comic songs, slightly horrifying slapstick gags, but, most importantly, taking on the comic relief roles in the yearly festivals in Dale celebrating the defeat of Smaug.
As Rollan aged, he had to learn to become serious enough to convince Brinn that he actually loved her and was not leading her on for a colossal joke, and once he succeeded the two of them were engaged to be married. It was around this time that Brinn's father was commissioned to make a new dragon, and the two of them and their friends came up with the idea to do a travelling theatrical troupe together.
The rest, as they say, is history. Rollan has been travelling with the troupe ever since, gladly taking on all the comic roles (as he's aged, he's gotten particularly adept at the Doddering Old Fool). He is fairly easygoing, but thinks that Branor needs to be taken down a notch, or several, and is more than happy to volunteer for that job. He can be very unpredictable, though, if he doesn't have an opportunity to play the roles he loves best and make people laugh, alternately sulking, getting angry, or getting even.
