Appearance

Hair: Dark grey and long. Often kept up in a ponytail to keep it out of his eyes.

Complexion: Smooth. No scars. He bears a strange stone upon his forehead. More colorful rumors suggest it is an emulated third eye, much like a pure-blooded Garlean might have, though there is no credibility to these outlandish claims.

Build: Though not as pudgy as his fellow Lalafell due to a hatred of sweets and an active lifestyle, Rorolumu bears the build of an average Lalafellin male.

Clothing: Rorolumu most often is seen wearing the attire of a Black Mage, though he occasionally will wear a simple black cloak or his engineering gear. Much like Endemerrin, he owns a necklace with the Imperial insignia upon it -- however, the diamond and chevrons and tilted on their sides, and the diamond is shaded blue, seeming to signify allegiance to the former Republic of Garlemald.

Personality

Rorolumu is as cynical as they get. He is a cold, calculating man who has a tendency to approach everything with a harsh and extremely scrutinizing scientific view. He is an intellectual with near a century of study under his belt, though his thirst has yet to be satiated. With a great disdain for those who choose to not educate themselves, he bears a great deal of respect for those that are willing to learn and are open to change. He has absolutely no quarrel with freely speaking his mind, and has no objection with being unbelievably blunt without hesitation if he feels it appropriate. He cuts straight to the chase, and cares little for hurting the feelings of others in order to get his point across. He is a fair and just man, however, and cares a great deal for those he considers friends, despite what his attitude might seem to infer. As serious as he can be, Rorolumu does have a sense of humor. His jokes have a tendency to be rather morbid and black, though on rare occasions he can be seen playing along with Endemerrin's lighthearted pranks.

Deep down, he bears a great deal of regret and self loathing for the time he spent serving the empire, and for the unspeakable atrocities he made possible with his engineering. Much like Cid Garlond, Rorolumu fled to Eorzea with aspirations of proving that Magitek can be used for good. Rorolumu was one of the first to volunteer to join the Ironworks, and has served them faithfully since their inception. Though he once exclusively tutored Endemerrin in the art of Magitek Engineering, he now spends his days instructing young engineers at the Ironworks. Outside of this, he jointly owns a workshop alongside Endemerrin, and together the two undertake a variety of projects. To date, they have constructed everything from Gunblades, to a functioning Magitek Reaper, and even their own personal Airship -- dubbed the "Crippled Coeurl" by Rorolumu, in honor of Endemerrin. The two work almost exclusively with each other in their duties with the Ironworks as well.

Abilities

Rorolumu Nonolumu is a talented Black Mage, and a master of Imperial technology. Having recently turned 103, Rorolumu has had decade after decade to study and research both machine and magic. However, his magic is not as potent as it could be due to his constant study of all fields of science and history. Yet while his Forte is with Magitek, Rorolumu prefers to rely on his mastery of Black Magic in order to defend himself. With his years of experience, he has developed his own unique fighting style, and often dives right into the heat of battle to cast magic, as opposed to standing on the side lines. He also employs the use of Magitek technology in the heat of battle. He is fully certified to perform both maintenance on, and operate Magitek Armor to it's fullest potential. With the help of his fellow engineer and lifelong friend, Endemerrin Rosethorne, Rorolumu is credited with having built a 100% functional Magitek Reaper from appropriated Imperial refuse and scrap metal. It is rumored he is capable of piloting a Magitek Armor manually without the assistance of it's coveted servomechanism.

Behind the Scenes (OOC Information)

• Was once a citizen of the Garlemald Republic, prior to the formation of the empire.

• Was formerly an engineer within the Garlean Empire. Rorolumu lives and breathes Magitek, and pioneered Endemerrin's unique prosthetic limb.

• Was a combatant and survivor of the Battle of Carteneau, having been sent into the future by the Archon Louisoux alongside countless adventurers as Bahamut brought about the Seventh Umbral Era.

• Prior to the calamity, he went by the alias "Popo Whimsywood" after his return to Eorzea. The nickname was coined and stuck by a young Endemerrin Rosethorne, much to the dismay of Rorolumu.
