Basic Info

Raph (short for Raphael, but never call him that) is an energetic young man who often acts impulsively and long before he thinks. Always a rowdy person, he was particularly precocious when he was a child. For a long portion of his youth, he engaged in a self-destructive cycle of falling for older men, running away with them, getting abused, and ending up in a hospital, where the police, his school, or his parents often found him. All of these experiences left him with a significant number of traumas, the effects of which didn't manifest until later in his life, and he has discussed their details with very few.

Thanks to some key friendships, however, and despite a major breakdown in college that left him unable to pursue baseball while studying, he eventually started to open up and work through his past, though his rambunctiousness hasn't waned. Intensely slutty and deeply tsundere, Raph will get into fights for fun or, more likely, to protect the people he loves, whether he needs to or not. If you can put up with him and work your way into his heart, you'll really have no greater champion.

Physical Description

A little over six feet tall, very blond, and with sharp eyes, Raph's intense cuteness comes almost despite the prettiness of his features. He is almost always wearing a jacket, ranging from his favorite fluffy blue parka when it's cold to some very light outerwear in summer--but rest assured, if he's in public, he's wearing a jacket, regardless. Hell, he's doing it in private, too. His pants vary based on the weather and whatever jacket he's wearing, while his shirts are always t-shirts.

Raph's eyes are a striking gold, and he has a thin scattering of freckles across his face. His build befits his status as a baseball pitcher known for his velocity--he's quite athletic, with a healthy dose of muscle under his skin.

Raph's main pitch is his four-seam fastball. He has a terrifying cutter and a really good change- up. He needs to work on his curveball and his sinker.
