The Grimoire of Chartreuse

Meet Romero. He is the team’s resident grumpy, unhappy healer guy. After his Adult Aptitude test, he showed great promise in Growth and Restoration sub bureau of Science, and he became one of the heads of that bureau when Queen Zahira made the petition to make it separate from Science. Though he’s never particularly enjoyed his job, Zahira convinced him to stick with it, and he did at her request. He might’ve had a crush on Zahira back then, and even now he shows a lot of fondness for her, a lot of depressed emotions at her disappearance, especially because she introduced him to his current wife. Ain considers Romero somewhat of her uncle, and Romero considers Neelu, Zahira and Ain his main family.

He’s got a quick temper and rarely bothers with tact. He’s also got one hell of a swearing mouth, which he, perhaps unfortunately, passes on to Ain very shortly after they start their adventure together.

As far as Romero’s likes, his favorite things are probably his large collection of books of fighting styles, armor, and warrior stories, and directly after that would be his love of fashion, clothing, and expressing himself through those. Though he doesn’t get to express it while on the road, during his free time he’s constantly making himself and his wife clothes. He does like to embellish on simple clothing if possible, and time willing. He’s an avid reader, and likes learning new types of creation and building. His house on the Sixth Plane, which he shares with his wife, is full of all sorts of grandiose crafts, some as large as entire rooms.

His favorite thing about inhabiting Third Level bodies is the food and drink. He’s got a pretty intense eating habit, something that also manages to pass itself to Ain along the course of their journeys.

The concept needs a couple of clothing edits. Stay tuned for updates.

More concept art for the amazing Arkh Project, an indie video game directed at queer people and people of color by queer people and people of color.

Definitely check it out. I can’t wait for this game to happen!
